ORDERS FLOOD BUSINESS WORLD Railroad Construction In Starts on a New of Activity. Northwest Era Chicago, Special: Tho beneficial re sults of tho election arc apparent in tne commercial und financial world. Preparations for tho bettor times which are confidently expected to fol low tne election of Taft have begun in earnest From every industrial cen ter comes news of the overhauling of plants, the installation of new ma chinery and a hurry-up call for men Many big orders for material, which were being held up on account of political uncertainty, have been placed and more will be placed without delay. Theso orders are for material of practically every description uuiiuing. railroad and farm equipment Immediately following the election thousands of commercial houses start od their representatives broadcast over the country to gather In orders, for tho stocks of interior merchants have run down to the hand-to-mouth basis. With prosperity assured those merch ants are ready to buy. The banks, al so assured of stable times, are willing to advance credits. For every man who desires work there will be opportun! ties. The country has set its face to tho light and is pushing ahead with old-timo vigor. Some indications of tho quickening business pulse are shown in Philadel phia, where the Pennsylvania Railroad Company follows a $5,000,000 equipment order with an order for steel passenger cars to cost $1,250,000. At Ft. Wayne, Ind.. the Pennsylvania car shops are running at the fullest time in their history, employing more than 000 men. Tho Wabash shops at t.'. same place are also taking on ad diliounl men. In Pittsburgh there is a general resumption of work In all factories and shops. Calls are beinc sent out for workers of every descrlp tion to return to work. uoston roports a general resump tion in all the New England mills and factories. It is said all factories, of which there are thousands throughout .Now Jorsoy and the New England States, soon will be operating full time and former wage scales will be restored immediately. President Smith of the St. Louis Business Men's League predicts that within six months there will arrive the greatest prosperity in history. Fol lowing the election, manufacturers nnd commercial and financial powers made immediate response and thousands of orders poured in upon manufacturers and Jobbers. Minneapolis says there Is unusual activity In the great employment bur onus which place thousands of men for the railroads, mines and in the gen era! development of the Northwest Tho manager of ono of the largest of theso concerns said: 'There will be great activity in railroad building for the next four or five years. We know of companies which have conducted qtiiet surveys In Northwestern states and now they will go ahead with the construction of new lines and the extension of old ones. They will need thousands of men and wo must hustle to 1111 a part of the demand." From every point, notably many in the South, there conies this ono word explaining the general revival of busl noes over the ontlro country "Con flUence.- This tells the whole story MISSOURI GIVES TAFT 4,235.

As the Legislature Is Democratic on Joint ballot by six votes Stone Is assured of re-election to tho Senate, provided all Dem ocrats in the Legislature abide by the advisory vote of the primary.

IS ONLY ACCENTUATED BY THE LATER RETURNS. G. 0. P, CAPTURES BOTH HOUSES Cabinet Question Comes up and Makeup Will Include Those Close to Roosevelt. Chicago, Special: Lator returns only accentuate the sweeping victory of Taft and Sherman over Bryan and Kern. Since the final returns were compiled on Tuesday night Montana has slipped over to the Republican side of the fence, thus giving Taft a total of 309 electoral votes as compared to 174 for Bryan, or a clear majority of 135 In the electoral college. inere has been a considerable shifting of individual districts in the congressional returns, but one of theso offsets the other to a large extent. I he returns indicate tho House of Representatives will consist of 213 Re publicans and 178 Democrats. This gives a Republican majority of thirty live, insuring the organization of the House, the election of a speaker and the control of legislation. There has been no change in the in. uicatou membership of the Senate. which remains 59 Republicans and 33 uemocrats. or a Republican maioritv of 20. There is one strlklnc thine about tho election of 190S. which Ts that Mr. Taft, although a Western man. found his greatest strength in the East, while four years ago Thoodore Roosevelt, an Eastern man. was most stroncly backed up in the great States of the West. Tho extraordinary nonnlarltv of Mr. Taft with the business element and the Increased unpopularity of Bryan Is post shown by the fact that New York city gave the Republican candidate for President 15,000 plurality, in round numbers, while nt the same time Chanler, for Governor, carried the metrop olis by nearly CO.000. This does not seem to be due to any knifing by the professional Democrats, because Mur phy In New York and McCarren in Brooklyn had buried the hatchet and were anxious to maintain their regularity in the party. Every' where in the East Taft has rolled up phenomenal majorities. Pennsylvania carrying off tho palm for the whole country, although N'ew York and Illinois have been close bohind the Keystone State. Close Inspection of tho election re turns shows clearly that Mr. Taft's failure to secure a big popular plur ality in the West is by no means duo to any kind of personal unpopularity, but comes about solely and simply because of local conditions for which he' was in no way responsible. In Ohio, his home State, and In In diana, just next to the westward, there were local lights precipitated by the liquor Issue almost exclusively. Thre can be no doubt In the world that tho presidential candidate was made tho victim of these local battles. It Is unfair to Mr. Taft and to tho Republicans to assume that a small majority like that of 15,000 in Indiana means that the Republicans axe losing ground. As previously explained. It only Indicates that the Democrats are lining up for their party organization as they were expected to do. the rest of the reduction being attributed en tirely to the effect of the bitter fight over tho liquor question. Bryan's victory in his home State of Nebraska was a sweeping one, Five of Nebraskas six congressmen will be Democrats, while in the Legis lature only eighteen Republicans seem to be elected out of a total of 133 senators and representatives. William Howard Taft. President elect, will not become actually Presi dont and take up his residence in the White House until March. Neverthe less, the prophets already are busy supplying him with a Cabinet. It can be said upon the best authority in the world that Mr. Taft has not given that subject any consideration at all. He has been busy endeavoring to so cure his own election, and it would have been disastrous for him to have made any promise or given any Inti mation to any one regarding the appointments he proposed to make to a Cabinet position. For the present all supposed Cab! net slates are the result of pure spec ulation on the part of the writers. It Is natural to assume that Luke Wright, tho secretary of war, will remain where ho Is because, because he was appointed only a little while ago and was a close associate of Mr. Taft in the Philippines. Secretary Metcalf, at tho head of the Navy Department, has been wanting to get out for a long while and may do so without waiting for the in auguration. His natural successor is Truman H. Newberry, of Michigan, tho present assistant secretary, who has been for a long time the real head of the department, who is a warm personnl friend of Mr. Taft, and who contributed in no small degree to his nomination. While such an appoint ment is a thing to be expected, it is bv no means certain and perhaps not even probable. Secretary ilson has been nt the head of the Agricultural Department since the beginning of the McKinley administration, in 1S97. Ho has built up the department Into a splendid mnchlne, nnd his retention -probably will be urged by most of the scientific farmers of the country. At tho samo time It nilRht bo entirely natural for Mr. Taft to prefer a younger man. like Gifford Pinchot, who has mado such a success of tho bureau of forestry. People will be sure to nssociate with the office of attorney genoral the name of Frank 11. Kellogg, of Minnesota, tho trust blister of the Roosevelt administration, an able lawyer and a confidential adviser of tho Presidentelect. No New Courthouse. Brazil. Ind., Special: Tho proposi tion to4)uild a new $200.000 courthouse in this city, which was submitted to a vote of the peoplo at the general election, was overwhelmingly defeated.

DIVORCE FOR BRYAN'S DAUGHTER

rteportea w. J, Asked Her to Defer Action Until After Third Battle. Kansas city, .Mo., Spocial: Now tnat the election is over, will Ruth nryan LeavRt. daughter of William J. Bryan, defeatod candidate for the residency, brintr suit for divorce? former member of the Bryan household at Fairview declares that she win. -The Leavltts. declared this person, "have been on tho verge of a iogai separation for more than a year. Mrs. Leavitt was anxious to bring divorco proceedings even before the Denver convention. Her father noint ed out that such a sten mlcht brine unfavorable comment, and urged that the matter be deferred. After Mr Bryan received the nomination for President at tho hands of the Demo crane party there were still greater reasons for deferring the matter. owing to Increasing criticisms of the divorce evil. I have every reason to believe the proceedings will be Insti tuted now within a very short time. TAKEN BY KAISER IN SUP PRESSED INTERVIEW. STORM OF PUBLIC WRATH Would Have Been Aroused by Article Withdrawn by Century Magazine at Big Loss. .New York. Special: F. II. ScoU, publisher of tho Century Magazine, states that the omission in tho next number of an interview with Emperor William was puroly a matter of court esy to the Kaiser and that the magazine gladly assumes the large financial loss occasioned by the widespread advertising of the article written by Will iam uayard Hale. In the smothered Interview it is rumored that the Kaiser spoke of President Roosevelt and of matters affecting the Cnited States in a manner that would have aroused as great a storm of public wrath in this country as has been aroused in Great Britain by the Kaiser's interview in which he says he outlined the campaign against the Boers. Said Mr. Scott: "I have nothing to say as to whether the request that the article be suppressed came from the Kaiser or not. 1 have nothing to say regarding any exchange of messages or anything else. The Century simply believed it courteous to omit tho publication of the interview and has done so." "It is a matter of simple courtesy," Mr. Scott said. "The magazine does not consider the matter of oxpense. No such arrangements have even been thought or." In advertising the interview the Century announced that it dealt with "impressions of President Rooseveltwar and Christianity tho true mission of wealth the principles of architecture the Roman Catholic Church." Since the Kaiser has begun to appreciate the storm raised in England and Germany by the interview with him printed in London ho Is reported to have become i vorrled about the effect of some of his statements regarding the first and last subjects of the advertised intorriow. In literary circles in New York It is regarded as a certainty that the interview would never have been withdrawn axcepting at the express request of the Kaiser and his Ministers. ROOSEVELT EDITOR SURE. Official Announcement of His Connec tlon With the Outlook. New York, Special: It Is announced hero officially that on and after tho 5th of March, 1909, Theodore Roosevelt will be associated with the Outlook's editorial staff as special contributing euitor. Mr. Roosevelt will be more' than mere contributor. His headquarters will bo at the Outlook office, and he will bo in frequent consultation with Its staff. His position will thus be somewhat analogous to that of a con suiting engineer who Is called In to give the benefit of his expert co-opcra-tlon to the staff of engineers in charge or a great undertaking like the Pana ma canal. Mr. Roosovelts contributions, though editorial in their nature, will bo signed by his name, and will be the absolutely free and unmodified expres slon of his personal convictions. As already announced Mr. Roose velt, after retiring from the presi dency, will sail for Africa, and the re ports of his scientific hunting expedi tion will be published in Scribner's Magnzlne. Tho Outlook will have tho benefit of his foresight before he sails. and will give to its readers occasional articles from his pen on topics of cur rent Interest. Teddy and Bill to Go Hunting. Washington. D. C, Special: Presi dent Roosevelt and William II. Taft probably will indulge In n hunting trip together about Thanksgiving in the mountains of North Carolina. There is to be no visit to Pine Knot this year. The hunting has not proven ex citing or successful down that way. Mr. Taft Is said to be planning to take a long rest from his campaign labors. Asheville, N. C. Is reported to bo tho point he has selected. . Morse and Curtis Guilty. Now York, Special: Chnrles W. Morse, until a year ago a leader in the world of finance, and Alfred 11. Curtis former president of the National Hank of North America, were found guiltv lu the criminal branch of the United States Circuit Court on chnnres of misapplication of funds and falsirving the books of the bank. Curtis "was sentenced to 15 yoars in tho ponitentiary.

OF BE

TO CONGRESS HAS BEEN COM PLETED BY ROOSEVELT. CUTS OUT BIG TASK FOR TAFT win Urge Rigid Control of All Com bines by a Body Like Interstate Commission. New York. Special: A dispatch to the New lork American from Wash ington is as follows: "The President has already com pleted the outline of his messago to Congress. Much of tho material for it has been gathered together and many features have been roughly drafted. "It can be stated that the President will send what can be recognized as a characteristic message. He will re iterate a demand for thoao things which Congress has not yet cot around to giving on the strength of former de mands and will come out for some new features of progressive legislation. in snort, in nis larewell message the President may be expected to cut out a large task for tho new Adminis tration, which will assure that there will be plenty doing for some time to come. The tariff question has been relegated to tho new Congress and the new President. Judge Taft will have the writing of the tariff message, and it will be his first communication to the legislative branch of the Govern ment. He is going to work on it at Asheville during the winter and have It ready before inauguration. "With the tariff taken care of President Roosevelt will present the case of those various reform measures he has been pressing in the past. The Hat will include: "Practical and effective amendments to the Sherman antitrust act. with the view of establishing some such Government supervision of the great industrial corporations as the Interstate Commerce Commission maintains over tho railroads. "Passage of the Government em ployes liability act. "Increase of the naval establishment by the construction of two now battle ships, at least, and probably a renewal or tho request for four. "Provision for the establishment of forest reserves In the Appalachian re gion. Inauguration of an effective Feder al control of the water powers of ihe country with a view to preventing ineir monopolization of private inter ests and to assuring that power shall ue sola at reasonable rates. Internal waterways improvement anu development. "Campaign fund publicity. une section of the message to wnicn tno President has devoted him self with especial satisfaction is the discussion of the battle-ship lleet's trip around the world. It has been a source of gratification to him that the display has been so strikinclv suc cessful, both as a demonstration of the Illness or the navy and of the excellent relations between the LTnited States and the nations of tho world. Tho President will take occasion onco more to press for a permanent nolicv oi navai expansion. . . - - PLEDGED TO CANNON Is Majority of House and Sneaker's Victory Is Certain. t. f - i ... wiucago, apeciai: uepuiiiican con gressional noadquarters in this city have been closed with the final an nouncement that 213 Republicans have been elected to the Sixtv-llrst Hongress. and that a clear majority of the uepupucan members-elect are pledged io support speaker Cannon for re-elec tion. "There Is no question about tho re election of Speaker Cannon." said one or the prominent officials who was con nected with tho Cannon presidential boom prior to tho Chicago convention. and who has been at the congression al committee headquarters during tho campaign. ilT- 1 . - 4 uiesramH anu letters irom suc cessful nominees in the congressional districts." he continued, "have been received in quantities sufficient to warrant the assertion that there will bo no opposition to 'Uncle Joe In the Re publican caucus at Washington, and that he will be re-elected unanimous ly." MAY BE SENATOR ROOSEVELT. Washington Gossip Has It that May Succeed Piatt. He Washington, Special: That Presi dent Roosevelt may be tho successor of Senator Piatt in the Senate Is regarded by many In Washington as not at all improbable. Those who regard this as possible, say they have assurance rrom the President himself that he would not be entirely averse to the acceptance of the senatorial office un der conditions as they will be afterMarch 4. So far as Is known he hns made no recent expression on tho sub ject, but he has said within the last year that with Mr. Taft as President he would not feel tho nmo hesitancy about entering the Senate that he would feel with some one In the White Houso with whom his relations were not as intimate as they are with Mr. Taft His general attitude has been ad verse to entering the Senate, because he has reit that a a member of that body he would be called upon to criti cise his successor In the presidency, nnd this ho would feel a delicacy about doing. American Tobacco a Trust. New York, Special: The Govern ment's contention that the American Tobacco Company is a trust operating In restraint of trade nnd In violation of tho Sherman anti-trust law, was 8iistalne(r in decisions hnnded down by Judges Lacombe, Coxe, Noyes and Ward in the United States Circuit Court here Saturday.

IN OUR FLEET'S WAKE Brittaln May Send an Armada of Battle Ships Around the World.

London, Cable: It has been Baid that following the successful maneuvers of the American navy the British Government is planning to send a fleet of warships around tho world. Officials of tho Admiralty were ques tioned, but all they would say was: "There Is no Information we can give you on Uils matter." This negative statement, however, would seem to support the intimation that such a tour had been suggested, but under the present political condi tions in Europe it is not thought at all probable that tho Admiralty would dispatch a fleet in any way compar able to the American fleet. There is a possibility that the squadron under Sir Percey Scott, which is at present in South Africa, and which has been ordered to South America, may be brought home by way of the far East and the Suez Canal. VICTORI EN SARDOU, PLAYWRIGHT, DIES AT PARIS. HEROES KNOWN WORLD OVER Wrote First Play In a Garret, but Realized Fortune and Success Afterwards. Paris, Cable: Victorien Sardou, who had been ill for a loug time, Ik dead from pulmonary congestion. Howas the Dean of France dramatists aud a member of the French Academy. The man whose first play was, hissed, and who then wanted to go toAmerica to seek his fortune, died rich and honored with tho proud title ot France's greatest and most prolific dramatist. Sardou was a man of singular charm, and he was greatly beloved. He was born In Paris September 7, 1 S3 1 , the son of Leandre Sardou, the compiler of several publications. His first comedy. "La Taverne Les Etudiens." was produced in 1S54 in tho Odeon. then tho second state theatre, but it proved a complete failure. He then wrote the comedy, "Les Pattes de Mouche," which was produced with great success In 18G0, nnd subsequently adapted for the English stage under the title of "A Scrap of Paper." Sardou lived al one time in a garret and was prostrated by typhoid fever, but n noighbor, Mile. Do Brecourt, nursed him with tender care during his Illness, from which ho slowly recovered. He married her the following year and was by her introduced to Mile. DeJazet, who had just established the theatre which was named after her. M. Sardou's pieces, after his first failure, were performed at this theatre. Nine years after his marriage Sardou was In possession of a Handsome fortune and a European renown, when a gloom was tempor arily cast over his career by the death of his wife. Almost every land knows the stage heroes and heroines bnrn out of Sardou's resourceful mind. Mme. Sarah Bernhardt has won her greatest triumphs in roles he wrote for her, such as iosca. Fodora and Glsmonda. "Mme. Sans Gene" was written for Mme. Rejane. in which she portrayed the outspoken, good-hearted wife of Marshal Lefevro. M. Sardou realized a princely for tune by his writings and built a splen did chateau at Marlyle-Ray. He mar ried, on June 17. 1S72. Mile. Smulier. daughter of the Conservateur of tho Museum of Versailles. He was dec orated with the Legion of Honor in 1SC3 nnd was elected a member of the French Academy in 1S77. Miss Roosevelt In Peril.
