THE HENNESSEY CLIPPER, Tllt'lvS DAY. OCTOBER 1", l'-'Ol-
WASHINGTON LfTlER.
(From our rc^ulur corroNpoiultM.!.)
Washington. D.C., Oct. 4, l'.Kil.
President Roosevelt lift only
•rave his unqualified endorse-
ment to tlu> project for the erec
tion el a lnagnitlcent McKinley
Memorial arch at the Washing-
ton end of the long-proposed
memorial bridge to Arlington,
(tut promised to aid ]>ersonally in
pushing tlu' project to success.
The details of In w tliis areli shall
he ereeteil have not yet been de-
cided npou. but will be in the
near future, and if the idea is as
well received all ovi>r the country
as it has been in Washington it
will not be long before the actual
work is started. One thing that
will be insisted upon is that the
arch shall be the tinest thing ol
its kind in the world. which
means that it must be a great
work of art as well as a memorial
to a beloved president 1 he idea
of appealing to congress to
change the name of the Philip-
pine Islands to the McKinlev
Islands, as a perpetual reminder
of one of th« greatest accomplish-
ments of the McKinley adminis-
tration. is beautiful sentimental-
ly, but the world wide coinuier
eial and go-graphical objections
that would certainly bo raised
against changing the name those
islands have hud for three hun-
dred years have operated t-• pre
vent its being given serious con*
sideration in official circles.
Senator Dcboc and Represent-
ative Boering, ol Kentucky, rival
republican candidates for the
senate, are in Washington. They
both declare in most positive
terms that the prospect for the
election of a republican 1* gisla-
ture in Kentucky is good and
•Trowing better all the time.
Representative (Jrosvenor and
other prominent Ohio republi-
cans who have been in Washing-
ton this week ridicule the demo-
cratic story that the death of
President McKinlev will result
in lessening the vigor with which
the republicans will conduct the
campaign in that state, and con-
sequently . lesson the chances for
republican success. On the con-
trary. they think that the death
of President McKinley will cause
republicans to work harder and
will result in an increased major-
ity for the party.
A sub-committee of the senate
coiiunitt« military atlairs. in
accordance with a senate resolu-
tion, this week began an invest!*
gation of the charges made by
Maj. E. L. Hawkes, a former vol
unteer officer, against Lieut. Col.
EL O. s. Heistand, U. S. A., in
connection with the formation of
companv to manufacture and
deal in hemp from the Philip-
pines. Hawkes admits tli;.t the
c >mpany was never actually
formed, and that he was paid for
what he did while it was being
talked of. Col. Heistand says he,
thought of going into the compa-
ny just as a man would go into
any other business enterprise,
but that for satisfactory reasons
he afterwards concluded that he
would not care to be associated
with Hawkes and broke oft the
negotiations. The investigation
i> being conducted publicly.
The question of a Pacific cable
is just now exciting much inter-
est in Washington. The appli-
cation of a party of capitalists
headed by John W. Mackay, for
President lvoose\elt's permis-
sion to land a cable at Hawaii,
(.luam and the Philippines, which
has been before President Roose-
velt and the cabinet for a week
and was at the last cabinet meet-
ing referred to Attorney (leui'i
al Knox for a legal opinion has
; brought to Washington a num-
ber of the opponents of giving
any private company the right to
lay this cable, among them Rep-
resentative Corliss of Michigan,
who c tiled on President Roose-
velt and protested against grant-
ing the permit. Mr. Corliss
thinks the government should
lav and operate the Pacific cable
Hnd is confident that a bill pro-
viding therefor will be passed b\
congress at the?coming session.;
Public interest has not lessen-
ed in the Schley court of inquiry
which continues to form one of
the leading topics of conversa-1
tion in Washington. Admiral
Schley's friends regard the evi-|
dence as a whole that has been
taken up to this time as favor-
able to him. although several of
the officers who have been on the
stand have not hid their preju-
dice against him. Thereisnoth-
ing in siirht to indicate when the
hearing will close.
Having expended the $20,000,-
000 set aside by Secretary Gage
for the purchase of bonds for the
sinking fund, the Ireasury has
announced that n<> further offers
for the sale of bonds Will be con-
sidered until further notice.
President Roosevelt s callers
are not so numerous as they
were a week ago. In fact, the
number of daily callers at the
White House are now little, if
any. above the average for this
season of the year, One reason
for the falling off is that Presi-
dent Ro —t-velt told those of his
callers who have been disposed
to talk about making changes in
office that there had been no
change of administration; mere
ly a change of presidents, and
that changes would not be made
except for what he considered
good reasons. He thinks that
there are more important mat-
ters requiring his attention than
putting one republican out of an
