GOODBYE T6 THE THIRTIETH.
The people of Valdez regret the
transfer of the officers. and men who
have been stationed at Fort Liscum
the past two years. Lieut. Colonel
O'Neil, Captains Erwin and Carleton,
and the officers and men, who have
been at the post have earned the re
spect and regard of the people of
Valdez.
Colonel O’Neil has on numberless
occasions sent the Donaldson to the
aid or rescue of prospectors and
miners in stranded positions along
the adjacent coast and has always
ben ready with a helping hand when
it was needed.
Colonel, the people of Valdez are
sorry that you and your officers and
men are leaving and they wish you
bon voyage, health and prosperity.

“It is evidently the intention of
the Barnes machine to run either
Mr. Whitman or some other man on
whose subserviency they can count—
in short, to have a rubber-stamp
ticket from top to bottom, a ticket
of which the personnel w-ould be
wholly unimportant.”—Theo. Roose
velt.
No, there cannot be the least truth
in the reports that the colonel has
come back from South America a
changed man. It was the old Roose
velt w’ho declared with a snap of the
jaws that if my friend Perkins goes,
I go. It is the old Roosevelt who
flings out this outgrageous charac
terization of a public servant who
has won extraordinary popularity by
displaying the very opposite of the
qualities Mr. Roosevelt brands him
with. The Evening Post has regret
ted that Mr. Whitman yielded to his
aspirations for the governorship.
With opportunities for such wide u,se
fuflness in the district attorney’s of
fice, it seemed a mistake, tactically
and otherwise, for Mr. Whitman to
show himself eager to abandon the
place to which he was unanimously
elected. But it would be brutally un
just, if it were not so ludicrously
unjust, to apply the term rubber
stamp to a man who with unusual
courage and persistence has carried
on during the last five years a not
able fight against intrenched evil in
this city.—New York Evening Post.
One need only imagine how Mr.
Roosevelt would have, phrased it if
the result of the protracted confer
ence which began at Quarantine and
terminated at Oyster Bay had been
favorable to Mr. Whitman. It would
then have appeared that the district
attorney was the ideal man for gov
ernor,'that his demonstrated fighting
qualities were a guarantee that.no
boss could dictate to him in office,
that his popularity was such as to
make him independent of bosses, etc.,
etc., right through the calendar of
the Roosevelt virtues.
SENATE TO STAY
FOR TRUST BILLS
(Continued from page 1.)
sion of the reasons why trust legis
lation should be passed immediately
or why it should be postponed. Sen
ator Stone, the author of the reso
lution adopted, referred to the pro
paganda against an extended session
of congress, stating that the larger
business interests had given evidence
of their purpose to block trust leg
islation if possible. He offered a
resolution characterizing absenteeism
at this time as reprehensible.
Tt was brought to his attention
that several Democrats were in their
home states making a fight for their
political lives, and that this exer
cise of the instinct of self-preserva
tion should not be spoken of in a
_srogatory manner.
As a result of this objection Sen
ator Lewis of Illinois, the Democrat -
ic whip, was instructed to convoy
verbally to absent senators the wish
of the majority that they spend as
much of their time as possible in
Washington.
The conference, which was held in
the Marble Room, began shortly af
ter 12 o’clock and continued until af
ter 4 o’clock. Senator Kern, chair
man of the cauucus, said afterward
that he thought the action of the
conference might tend to hasten ad
journment. He said that congress
might adjourn about August 25, but
that a definite date was purely spec
ulative. In 1911 congress adjourned
August 21, and in 1912 adjournment
occurred August 25. Last year the
session ran into the December ses
sion.
Owing to the fact that the Senate
calendar is heavily laden and can be
disposed of only by extraordinary
measures, an agrement was reached
that night sessions should be held
two nights next week in order to at
tend to calendar business. While this
was intended as a measure to ex
pedite discussion of the Trade Com
mission bill, now before the Senate,
it is possible that senators will ob
ject to night sessions and that there
will be slight net gain in time.

WILES 10 BE
I RICH MCE
English Heir Apparent Has a Good
ly Sum and More Is Com
ing His Way
LONDON, July 17.—When the
Prince of Wales next year attains
his twenty^first birthday he will en
ter into personal control of the rev
enues of the Duchy of Cornwall,
which are now being administered
for him by the King, and the ac
cumulations of which will represent
a nest egg of over $0,000,000.
From an jaiftihoritative financial
source it was recently learned that
advantage is being taken of the pres
ent state of the share markets to
make considerable investments in se
curities which the two trustees of
the Duchy of the Cornwall es'ate
consider bargains at the present
prices. These trustees, who have
been inspired and guided by Lord
ltevelstoke since King George’s ac
cession, have already done very well
for the Prince. Not very long ago
they purchased $400,000 worth of se
curities which have appreciated in
the last six months in capital value
by 1 per cent.
rnougn jung ueorge is Dy no
means on the same close and friend
ly relations with prominent and in
fluential persons in the financial
world as was his father. King Ed
ward, his Majesty has, nevertheless,
many sources open to him through
which he can carry on financial op
erations under vastly more favorable
conditions than an ordinary investor,
and it is probable that the value of
the Prince of Wales’s invested capital
when it is made over to him next
year will be considerably over $5,~
000,000.
But though the Prince, on paper,
will then be one of the few mil
lionaire royalties of Europe, he will
not be so in fact, for he has four
brothers who have practically noth
ing, and how to make suitable pro
vision for them has been an out
standing financial problem in the
royal family for years. There are
only twoi possible solutions. One is
for the young Princes to marry heir
esses with sufficiently large dowries,
and the other is for the Prince of
Wales, who is rich beyond all com
parison with his brothers, to make
provision for them.
* VUV J/lVOVUl U 111 A V* '41V TIUJ V. u
tween these two courses is to be
found by settling a sufficient amount
of the Prince’s real estate on Prince
Albert and Prince Henry to bring in
to each of them $75,000 a year, and.
as each will have an allowance from
the state of a similar sum on at
taining his majority, this arrange
ment will provide for each of the
two younger Princes an income of
$150,000 per annum.
The problem of providing for Prince
George and Prince John, who are still
very young, is not of immediate urg
ency, and much may happen before
they come of age.
The Prince of Wales will, of course,
have to marry into a royal house,
and, with the exception of the czar’s
daughters, Princess Maud of Fife, and
one or two others, none of whom is
likely to become Princess of Wales,
there is n<? great heiress available
for the Prince. As soon, however,
as he is married and his marriage
has resulted in providing two or
three possible succesors to the throne
with incomes, there will be no spe
cial or urgent necessity for all the
younger Princes to look for wives
only among the daughters of royal
houses.
This is a matter that is being de
liberately considered by the English
royal family, even at the present mo
ment. King George and Queen Mary
are not oblivious to the paucity of
well-dowered princesses of the ages
of their younger sons, or of the fact
that by the time the Princes reach
marriageable age there are likely to
be heiresses who are daughters or
granddaughters of men who built up
fortunes by industrial activity.
The possibilities opened out by
these considerations have been sub
ject of recent conversations in the
royal household, in which it was sug
gested that descendants of an Amer
ican railroad magnate or a German
chemical "king” might one day sit
on the English throne—"if fthere is
still an English throne then,” added
a much daring courtier, sot to voce.
