Post Vol. XIII spuhl mm Cc velt Becoming Alarmed ;:r the Movement in "avorofHanna Grum packer Expects Fa vorable Action on Reducing South ern Represen- tation 1 $ By THttiAX JT. PBXC8 V. Kington, Dec. 8. Special. Senate:- German's effort in the Senate today to secure a disinterested and honest in ve.tigatlon of the post office depart ment without fear or favor met with the opposition of the Republican ma jority as had been anticipated. This is the very thing the G. O. P. does not want, for some of those "higher up" who are charged with wrong doing are shining; lights in the administration. Senator Gorman intends to force the Issue for a fearless and independent investigation, and for once in his life he Tnll have the united support of the minority in the Senate. As soon as the jClash was at an end today Mr. Gorman notified Senators Simmons and Clay . and the other minority members cf the, committee on post offices and - ;;t roads to be prepared to speak to : rrow when the question is again :n up for consideration. It is in cited that Senator Gorman has some '.Munition up his sle'eve thai will jar Republican organization, which is inly on the defensive. It is argued certain quarters that theadmlnls tion can not well afford to deny a si stent demand for a look at the 1 'is, fearing the effect of that cry In t:.e coming campaign. The opening up cf the postal scandals in congress today will not be without effect in the next presidential contest. It seoms certain from what Senator Gorman said today that an investiga tion of the charges against General Bristow will be asked by the minority, Mr. Eristow is the man whom the present turned loose to investigate tne pc-stai xrauas ana wnose wonc ne praised'' so much. Bristow, as stated in this correspondence last week, is charg ed with offenses that eaual those for which "he summarily dismissed sub ordinates. . The anti-Roosevelt current, which has been growing f pr the past few months, and which inside of the Re publican party has become suddenly e:: 'c oldened during the past few. days, thrown a fright over the occupant c: the White House that is the talk of i passed the senate and received a tavor-th-a town. i able report in the House at the la-t Mr.; Roosevelt had thought all along session of Congress was Introduced to-V:-t his nomination meant his election j day by Representative Small, who took ' t now he has fears that he will re- ! an especial interest in the measure last r', neither.

The United t'es flag over the consulate at Alex iretta, Asiatic Turkey, has been lied down and Consul Davis has left I post for Beirut in consequence ot serious diplomatic incident, during Ich Mr. Davis was insulted and as ilted by the local police, "he affair grew out of the arrest of Armenian, Ohannes Attarian, a nat .lized American citizen. Attarian $ teeen in prison at Aleppo during ' last two months, and had just been srated through the intervention of ; American consular agent. Mr. Da 1 was accompanying Attarian on Td a departing , steamer when the ice intercepted the party, assaulted insulted Mr. Davis, and, despite resistance of the consul and his at dant guards, re-arrested Attarian I took him back to prison, tr.

Ohio Republicans here, Including the senators and congressmen, have taken offense at the president's action. Ev en Foraker's friends . say it looks as though the president is distrustful of them. The pre&Tdent, according to ab solutely trustworthy sources, question ed Governor Gordon as to whether the state would go for Hanna or himself with both in the race. It is told "as how Mr. Gordon said that Hanna would swee the state. Several of the anti-Roosevelt Repub licans will attend the meeting of the Republican national committee Friday. E. O. Shelby, editor of the Cincinnati Commercial : Tribune, which is clamor ing for the nomination of some on? other than Roosevelt is coming to spread his campaign propaganda. Some of the lily whites from Alabama, in cluding ex-Collector Bingham, are ex pected. Numerically they are very small and they will have to do some tremendous growing In order to wrest the nomination from Roosevelt, a task that is believed by politicians almost impossible. As was stated last week in this cor respondence, the appointment of Crum packer as chairman of the census committee means some action hostile to the south. It is learned that one of Crumpacker's numerous bills for the reduction of the south's representa tion in congress -will ' be ' acted' on' fa vorably by the committee in the near future, provided the Republicans stand together. The measure in question will be referred to the census commit tee because it will be necessary to get the information on which to base the reduction from the census department. Mr. Crum packer would not discuss hrs plans today. Cantain Boardman. chief of detec tives, received a dispatch this after noon from Detective "Weedon telling him that" he will start from "Washing ton, N. C.. this afternon with Benjamin F. Patterson, who is wanted hve on charges of having passed worthless drafts on local merchants. An early morning message from the detective gave the information that Patterson had ariven bond and - could -not be 'found. j. additional complaints hive Teen ; jy at police headquarters against Patterson. One was entered by Capt. Andrew ' KcllX 1w1iq" told" of having cashed a draft for $200 and the other complaint came from the printing firm of Judd & Detweiler. A $75 draft is alleged to have figured in the latter transaction. Mrs. .Patterson 1s confined to her bed at the LaFetra hotel. The bill appropriating $5SO,000 for the construction of a light house on Dia mond shoals, off Cape Hatteras, which beklr, Asiatic Turkey, has been travel ing about the country with an illegal passport. They also point out that the question of -Armenians naturalized In America returning to Turkey has al ways been a source of trouble, since the porte invariably refuses to recog- nlze naturalization. When Attarian was arrested $2,500 was found in his pocket. This, it is believed, may have contributed to his arrest, the Turks suspecting him of being a revolutionist. The matter is engaging the energetic attention of the United States legation here. The outrage, it is believed here, will lead to strong action on the part of the Uaited States to obtain full rep aration, especially as full satisfaction for the Beirut affair has not yet been given. Police Kngarcd In ibr Oniric Washington, Dec. 8. Minister Leish man says that the assault is alleged to have been committed by the local po lice of Alexandretta. After Mr. Davis' departure a mob made a hostile dem onstration against the American con" sulate. The reported participation ol the police ln the affa.ir is its most se rious feature, and unless prompt ac tion to punish the offenders is taken by the Turkish government the adminis tration may be epectcl to bring this home to Turkey in no uncertain man ner. Not an Alarntas TOattar Washington, Dec. 8. In the opinion of ofncia.ls here the incident will not result in any international complica tions. No steps have been taken to send any American warship to Alexan dretta. The na.vy department will be guided entirely ,by the wishes of the state department in this connection, and the state department officials de clare that they will make no move until Minister Leishman completes his inves tigation and reports the result, Alex- Turkey Mis "Flag PALEIGH.

The state depart ment was on the point of telling the navy department it might withdraw them when the news of the Alexan dretta incident came.
