From our Regular Coimpondent. President Roosevelt has hod the- report of Mr. Uris tow on the postal frauds for nearly a week, yet shows no in-linution to give it to t h e public until ofter the elec tion. However heeati't posit pone its publication until af ter the election next fall and at that time the voters will have an excellent opportuni ty of f-howiug their disappro yal of an administration un der which such frauds are pos sible. , The Bristow report is a .very lung document, making printed pages oi an or dinry government report, and the President will add to its length by supplementing it. with comments of his own. The most important part of the document is said to be theaccuwationsmndeagainst foimer First Assistant Post master Genera FiVrrj Heath, who is at present secretary of the republican national campaign committee, o I which Senator Hnnna te the chairman. The Tulloch char ges made serious accusations against Hnnna, but they were not thought sufficient to procure n indietmept a gainsthim. The Bristow re port is Raid to charge him with official corruption such that is only protection a gainst criminal prosecution will he the statute of limita tions, which has just saved republican Congressman Lit tauer from being called to ac count for his glove contract with the government Heath has now issued a statement through one.of his friends, that he will not he . a candi date for re-election to t h e secretaryship of the republic can committee "owing to bus iness interests." On account of the abuses discovered in the New York Post Offite the President has ordered Mr. Biistow's inspectors to pro ceed to that city to subject the office to a close investiua rion. The head of the.offiee is Postmaster Van Cott, who is n power among New York re publicans and a personal friend of Senator Piatt, who has always defended him and will doubtless oppose any ef fort to have him removed. Nq direct cha rues have been made as yet against Van Cott, but his removal is be ing discussed to such an ex tent as to alarm his political friends It will take about a month to complete the iuves tigation of the New York Of fice. The Japanese Legation here is touch annoyed at .the pub Mention in the newspapers of a telegram sen i to the War Department in December, 1900, by General Mac Ar thur, then commander of the military forces in the" Philip pines, in which he said that correspondence captured from the Filipinos had pVov ed, to his satisfaction, that the Japanese Consulate in Manila had advised the insur gent leader Trias, to visit Ja pan to negotiate for voluntn r contributions of armsand concerning the luture of th nrthapelago, Che officiuls ofjton, where the qucstiuu the legation believe hat the publication of the teregram at this time is part of a plan to show the American public that, in her trouble with Rus sia, Japan does not deserve either the fiympnthj or assis tance of this country. Minis ter Taknhira has given out a lengthy statement denying that Japan ever treated with the insurgents. He says in pai. "One cause for doubt ing the Feliability of General Mac Arthur's soureecs of in formation in this "use is the nature of the concessions al leged to have been nought from the insnrgentaon behalf of Japan., Even a Juperfl ial knowledge of our situation nhonld have been sufficient to show that they were use less to us, for we have all the coaling stations that we need, and the railway enter prises on foot in our country including Formosa, gave full occupation for all the energy and capital we have to ex pend in that direction." It is a rather an unusual thing for a minister to accuse a gen eal of the country to which he is a ('credited i of a lack of "even superficial knowledge" of conditions in u country, but the Japanese representa tive is naturally very anx ious that we 6hould.not place confidence in the report. More will probably be heard of the incident, and it shows that Japan, like most if the oth er powers, is very solicitous of the friendship of the Uni ted States. Representative Littauer has had several recent confer ences with the President in reference to the manner in whi-h Attorney General Knox has disposed of the glove contract case. At the last conference Mr. Littauer was accompanied by his at torney, and the Attorney Gen eral was also at the White House in case his services were needed to elucidate ihe legal phnspof tne case. Tin Congressman in lining his in fluence with President Roose yelt to bring about a decis ion by the government which will exonerate hi in from the charge of illegal connection with a contract, or will at least give him an opportunity to give his side of the case. His friends say that he is on ly,technically"gnilty. Yet the Attorney General did not care to look at it that way, and he extricated himself from an pmbarrassing situa tion ly declaring that owing to the statue of limitations "no useful purpose" would be served by further consider ation of the case. This is a very doubtful vindication and naturally Littauer is not satisfied.- His visits to Ihe White House no doubt em- barrusa President Roosevelt, who knows that the public will look with (IMavor upon any attempt to shield "his close friend and political ad viser." Sa m uel Gom pers, President of the American Federation of Labor has expressed his views on the' ''open whop" policy of the government. Owing to th coming conven tion of the Federation in P" be discussed by labor dele gates from nil aver the coun try, it is significant that the leader of the.ri all character zes the open, shop as "brazen hypocracy." He says, ''we are' inclined to think that all this 'crusade' by the Pt-rry-led manufacturers and their month pieces of the press in faor of the open shop, or the refusal to recognize oi deal with unions as business bodies haying labor and ser vices lo sell, is the product of conscious hypocracy, but it is not impossible that some cf those who have joined iu it are really stupid enough not to see the absurdity, the self-stulification, the brazn dishonesty of the proposU lion." He does -not attack the President however, for he continues, "The public knows soinethingNof the at tempt of plutocracy to mis represent President Roose velt's attitude toward union ism." He says that the order in the Miller case did not ap ply to p r i v a t a enterprise. However, Mr. Gompers rep resents the most conservative element in the Federation and his radical opponents mostly socialists are increas ing in numbers at every con vention so that at the last tiey composed about forty per cent of the delegates. This element is sure to make an attack on the open shop policy of the administration and many politicians believe that they will carry the con vention, on November 9, in a resolution directly condmn ingthe President's action in the Miller c.nse.

President llooscvelt has is sued tho 'following - Thanks giving proclamation: "Tho season is at hand when, according to the cus torn of our people, it falls up on the President to appoint' a day of piaise and thanks giving to God. During the last year the Lord , has dealt bountifully with us, giving us peace at home and abroad aud a chance for our citizens t o work for their welfare unhin dered by war, famine or pes tilence. It. behooves us not on ly to rejoice because of what has been given us. Ivit to ac cept it w ith a sole nn sense of renponsibility, realizing that under heaven it rests with us ourselves to show that we are worthy to use aright what has thus been entrusted to our care. In no other place and at no other tune has the experiment of government of the people, been tried on so large a scale as here in our country. Failure would not only be a dreadful thing for us, but a dreadful thing for all mankind, becauseit would mean loss of hope for ail who believe in power and the righ teousness of liberty. There fore in thaukingGod for the mercies extended to us in the past, we beseech Him that He may not withhold them in the future and that our hearts may be roused to war steadfastly for good and a gainst all the forces of evil, public and private. We pray for strength and light, so that in the coming years we may, with cleanliness fearless nessnnd wisdom doourallot ted work on earth in s u c h manner as to show that we are not altogether unworthy of the blessings wehavereceiv ed. "Now, therefore, I, Theo dore Roosevelt, President of the United States, do hereby desijjnate as a day of gener al Thanksgiving, Thursday, the twpnty-sixth of the coin ing November, and do reeom mend that throughout the land the people cease their wouted occupations and in their seyeral homes and pla ces of worship iendr thanks up to Almighty (fbd for his manifold mercies.
