Mr. Payne replied by saying that the House would be organized in due time, that wdien it met in December it wOuld proceed to business. In the Fifty-first Congress it was decided that such a thing should not happen again. Rules were drawn up under which the ma jority, v.hen it wanted to do business, should have the power to do so. Since that time, he declared, the House has asserted itself in the "councils" of the nation. The representatives, fresh from the people, have been able to accom plish the people's will. The House has made a great advance, it has - been emancipated. Mr. Payne referred to the resolution introduced by Mr. Williams of Missis sippi and referred to the committee on ways and ineans. . saying that the House would view with satisfaction, a renewal of the reciprocity negotiations with Canada.

HEALING PROCESS i IS DISAPPOINTING Improvement of Emperor Wil liam's Throat Not as Rapid as Expected Vienna, Nov. ,27. The Werner Allge mine Zeitung prints thi- dispatch 'from Berlin in reference to Emperor William which , attracts general attention, ear pecialiy as the paper often receives semi-official information: "Though there can be no doubt that the operation recently undergone by the emperor concerning a benignantfor mation, it must be recognized that the process cf healing has riot taken the favorable course originally hoped for. It is by no means certain that in the near future the emperor will under take a journey south, since it is .doubt ful whether his physicians will assume the responsibility cf exposing the mon arch in his' present condition to the fa tigue of a long journey. There is ab solutely no question of danger, but from the whole course of the process of healing hitherto it seems as thougn there has arisen unexpected complica tions which very rarely follow a simple operation for singers' polypus. , In court circles there has been talk of the possibility, and even of the proba- emperor, whose mood remains good, has been ordered by his phj-sicians to take" the maximum of rest and to spare his vocal organs as much as possible." .

PJSXCB Washington, Nov. 27. Special. Be ginning next Sunday train No. 11 of tlie Southern Railway, which carries the early edition of The Post to the west ern part of the state, will leave Raleigh an hour and ten minutes later than at present, thus affording patrons a pa per with news rthat much later. This train.Ieaves Raleigh now at 12.50 a. m., but when the new schedule goes into effect it will leave at 2 a. m. The change in schedule was made possible by the arrangement of a new schedule for No. 33, the Florida express, with which it connects at Greensboro. No. 33 will, after Suriday, leave Washing ton at 9.50 p. m. instead of 9. p. m., arriving at Greensboro 6.10 a, m. A new addition to this train will be a Pullman sleeping car from New York to Jacksonville. Na 11 will leave Goldsboro at 9.40 p. m., arriving, at Raleigh at 11.40 p. m. . A sleeper will be taken on at that point. When the schedule is resumed at 2 a. m. the train wll arrive In Greensboro at 6 su m. Representative 'Gibson introduced In the House a bill for the establishment of the Appalachian Park. The bill dif fers from the Brown low bill, . which passed the Senate last year, in that it provides for the establishment of a national park, rather than a forest re serve. The .Gibson bill provides also for the purchase of five milion acres of land, which is a milion in excess of the amount asked for in the Senate" bill. oosevelf's Ambition Takes He Now Essays to Kill Two Birds; With One Stone Jby Picking Out the Vice, President and Dic tating the Presi dential Suc- cession j - Columbus, O., Nov,. 27. President Roosevelt not only expects to break the rule of the non-succession of acci dental presidents, but also hopes to abolish this rule for good and all and to pick for vice-president the man who will be president in 1903. The man he has in Ms eye is William II. Taft of Ohio. This is the latest report from Washington. It can not rightfully be said i to be current gossip, or it would have been seized upon ere this by the ubiquitous correspondents in Washington. It Is the unJercurrent of political specula ton there. It is a plan which has been discussed by the president's friends. In its scope and its daring it is truly .Rooseveltian, for it would be a reversal cf the politics of the last fifty ; years. d7s Connect johiWitli the AftGck oh Brooke Woo Major Runcie Says He Pre pared the Article at Wood's Request The Jai Alai Silver Set and Who Bought II1 & Washington, Nov. 27. The commit tee on military affairs of thej Senate met today to take further testimony in the matter of the charges jagainst Gen. Leonard Wood. Major James E. Runcie, Captain E. F. Ladd and a rep resentative of Tiffany's, New York, S were on hand to testify. Captain Ladd wa3 summoned at the request of Major E. G. Rathbone to tell of irregulari ties in the accounts of the Cuban gov ernment under Gen. Wood, it being charged that Gen. Wood forced the ac cour.tlrjr -'officers,' including Captain ;Ladd, who was then auditor of Cuba, to violate the law through Wood s mu- itary orders. - ' ' : L 'Major "Runcie fwas the first witness called. He was questioned regarding : the authorship and publication in the North American Review of an artlcit attacking- Major General Brooks. J. W.

The set had been ordered, he said, by M g West Several southern members of Con gress have not been vary successful or late in their application for rural deliv ery routes. The post office authorities have represented in such cases that an Increased appropriation from Congress will be necessary to meet the demands. The use of this leverage by the depart ment promises to be successful for ru ral delivery is one of the most popular institutions with the government. To-J day four bills were introduced In the House providing for Increases in th salary of rural -carriers. .Each day wit nesses the Introduction of similar bills, and If the House is allowed to have its way such' a measure will be passed. Another Fairbanks presidential boom was started in several eastern papers yesterday, but the elongated Hoosler statesman put the story to sleep thii afternoon with the announcement that he Is unequivocally for Roosevelt. He algo denied the story that there Is ft revolt among Indiana Republicans against Roosevelt. An effort to briny Uncle Joe Cannon to the front as n candidate for the vice presidential nomination likewise met with, failure. The speaker gave the movement . his disapprovel this afternoon In a state ment made by his secretary. Delgado Crafton, the young man from ' North Carolina who was sentenced to two years imprisonment for embezzle ment, was taken, to Trenton, N. J., this morning, where he will serve out his sentence. There were nineteen pris oners in the party. In a forthcoming census bulletin all phases of the negro question will be I treated from a statistical standpoint. !Much difficulty has been encountered in some sections In treating this sub ject because of the failure to collect records of deaths, births and mar riages. The work of double-tracking th , Southern Railway between here and Orange is gradually nearing comple tion. Five miles more of the new track age have been completed and trains were . operated over that stretch for the first time today. . Another Tiirn Jt is the way, things were in the be ginning, howeveri and they say all that is necessary to returns to -the former custom of electing vice presidents to the presidency is to nominate for sec ond place on the national ticket men who are qualified for first place, man who are presidential timber. President Roosevelt thinks It not Impossible to revert to the old custom, and he is said lo entertain the ambition of dictating his successor. His own nomination itself will be an exception to the rule, which relegates vice presidents to the shelf' It is said he hopes. to do away with the rule altogether bj;' being him self succeeded by'his own vice, presi dent. i , W. II. Taft, the Cincinnati jurist, is seldom mentioned! except as a possible candidate for president. In speculatio? paths to the White House have bee-i traced out for him, both by way of tht governorship of Ohio and the secretary ship of war. The new path by way of the vice presidency has been devjsed by Roosevelt. It Is considered a! smooth a path if not smoother than for Taft to remain In the cabinet, which he will enter upon the retirement of Secretary of War Root in January. Probably no one will consider Tuft's chance of being president as good as if he had first become governor of Ohio. His Ohio friends hoped to have , Wm duplicate Mr. McKInley's performance. one Zarasqueta, who had an office op popite the custom house in Havana, and who acted as agent for the mem bers of Jai Alai concern In purchasing the gift for Gen. Wood. The set was "delivered to Zarasqueta. who . paid Clearman $5,000 gold for it, -At a lun chech in honor of GenV Wood, Just be fore he left Havana, May 20, 1502. the silver set was presented with , appro-: priate speeches. There was no inscrlx--tion on the silver, accordlnsr to Mr, Clearman. ' ,' The committee asked Mr. Clearman only a few questions and did not go deeply into the charge that the silver set was presented to Gen. Wood ta recompense for hl3 favorable' action in the matter of the gambling conces sion. In the course of his testimony Mr. Clearman took occasion to deny that one Pedro Galvez had visited Tiffany's as the -agent . of the Havana psople to purchase the silver set. He reiterated the statement that the or der came frcm Zarasqueta "and thai Pedro Galvez did not appear in tha transaction. Questions were put to Major Runcie which brought out the story of the ar ticle published Inf the North American Review in February, ,1500. He said he was the confidential adviser of Gen. Wood in Santiago In 1198 and 1S33 ana that they lived in the same apartments a part of the time.
