BY JONATHAN WINFIELD. Washington, May 28.-Tbere is a
battle on for the vacancy in Presi

official life. Vice President Sherman, Senator Jonathan Bourne and John
Hays Hammond, tbe millionaire mining friend of tbe president, are tbe most earnest candidates for the vacancy.
It is the general impression that
President Taf t, General Clarence Edwards, chief of the insular bureau, and who as such is commonly called
King of the Philippines, Porto Rico,
Hawaii and Alaska," and Captain A. W. Butte, who were the charter members of the golf "cabinet," will not cause any hard feelings by deciding upon a fourth member. There is to be a close corporation.
Now that the spring is well under
way and summer is upon us the president will devote all the time possible to thrumping the elusive ball with sticks at the Chevy Chase links. Johp Hays Hammond is in Mexico looking after his mining interests, and Vice President Sherman and Senator Bourne are more or less tied down to arduous duties in tbe senate. As a
result the navy secretary has been gaining time in promoting bis own candidacy. Two days in succession he

THE TERRIBLE BATHOLITE. Mel ten Rook That Bores Upward Through the Earth's Crust.
BathoUte is a term Invented by tbe great German geologist Eduard Suess to describe the gigantic Intrusions of molten rock which, according to- htm, bore their way upward through the crust of the earth from the "eternal
depths" below, cutting through the strata and folds of the mountains very
much as a white hot soldering iron
may be thrust through a plank, burning its way across the grain of the
wood as if It wore cheese.
These batholltes lurk deep in tbe
arth, where the temperature is thou
sands of degrees, and gradually melt
their way to the surface above them,
Generally they issue in the form of tremeudous domes of hot rock, tower
ing up to mountain heights and often
.giving birth to Tolcanoes. When
batholite. as sometimes happens, does not reach the surface its roof open in a network of Assures, lava pours out and a whole group of volcanoes
appears at that point
Suess has recognized the remains of
many cooled batholltes on various
parts of the earth's surface, and he says that the consolidated crust of the
earth, even at the present day, may
be exposed to these mighty intrusions
from below. The batholltes bring up
with them many metals from tbe in
terior of tbe planet, and rich mines
are often opened in tbe dikes that are
thus formed.
Suess describes tbe rock about Boulder. Colo., as an ancient batholite. ' which covers 5,000 square kilometers of surface. But there are others still
more prodigious in extent
sometimes iney nave been worn
down nearly to the general level, but
near Elkhorn the old batholite yet
towers up to an elevation of 9,000 feet above the sea. Tbo diamond dikes of 8outh Africa have thus been thrust up
from tbe profound depths of the earth,
where there exists a laboratory of na
ture In wIri.she.perfonna wbsit seem
miracle i u.v ;uy iuuaUtuuu the planet's surface.
Tbe face of the moon shows us most
clearly what batholltes are capable of. The vast circular plains ringed with
steep mountains, which make its sur
face so marvelous to look upon with a
telescope, have, according to this view
been formed by intrusions of colossa
batholltes. and Suess calls them by
the startling name of "smelting fui
naces' furnaces thousands of square i miles In extent In which the frame
ef that little world has been melted and dissolved like a snow bank lying
In the path of a flow of molten Iron.

mentary accumulations of ages from the face of our world, says this astonishing German savant we might find

made up a presidential party at golf, and in view of the fact that both times he played with President Taft as an opponent and came home defeated, whispers have grown almost into shouts that he is to be elected a regular. President Taft and Captain Butte, remain silent as to who is likely to land tbe coveted honor of being named to fllll the vacancy. General Edwards intimates that tbe vacancy is to be permanent Excepting John Hays Hammond, who has nothing but time and money, tbe secretary of the navy will undoubtedly have a -strong pull
for membership when President Taft
takes up his summer quarters at Beverly, Mass. Secretary Meyer bails from Massachusetts and can grant
himself indefinite leave of absencs from his official duties from the navy department. He can. undoubtedly get a booking every day this summer, as
President Taft is to indulge in little traveling and may visit the links
every pleasant day.
General Edwards will be tied down to his duties in Washington and Vice President Sherman and Senator Bourne will be busy generals In the
political game.
What the summer golf course will develop in the way of addtions to the "cabinet" remain to be seen, but it Is
understood that Secretary Meyer is
well pleased with, the situation and hopes to land a winner over his distinguished competitors. Mr. Hammond as head of the League of Republican clubs will have some money to contribute, even if he will not have to
perform laborious duties in the fight for the Republican control of the bouse of representatives, hence he, too. will be a candidate for golf party
invitations at all times. The golf "cabinet is as important a factor in the Taft administration as was the tennis "cabinet" in the Roosevelt days at the White House, Gifford Pinchot and "Jimmy" Garfield were the original charter members, with with President Roosevelt. There was not the "close corporation that now exists in the golf "cabinet" for Assistant Secretary of the Navy Winthrop, French Ambassador Jusseraud and a number of lesser lights bad honorary, if not active, membership in the Roosevelt organization. The coming of President Taft ended the tennis "cabinet's" days. Where the courts that Colonel Roosevlt used were laid now stands the addition to the White House offices. President Taft did not eliminate the tennis game entirely from the White House course of physical training and amusement. He has had one court laid out in the extreme end of the pri
vate White House grounds. Possibly he expects the former- president to agin to. be a resident of the White
House. The tennis court, which is
lone and drearysome, will in that case
be there for bis convenience. Sever
al times this spring Assistant Secretary of the Navy Winthrop has led a tennis-loving group of statesmen in a
White House tennis carlval, but with
golf the rage there does not seem to be much sympathy, now for the limited court, the net, and this low balls and "high balls." Now that the "war is , temporarily over and there is no longer much doubt that the Republican insurgents
in the house will cot take Speaker Cannon's scalp at this session and that he is to be allowed to remain in
the chair until the present congress
expires in March, 1311. the story is
gradually leaking out as to how tbe
insurgents and Democrats, combined,
were kept from declaring the chair vacant when the house organization went down to crushing defeat on the rules question.
Uncle Joe. when the combination defeated bis followers was made clean through and made it known that when the crucial period arrived he would dare the insurgents and Democrats to unseat him. This information threw
the leaders, Sarepo Payne, John Dalzell, Dwight, the whip, and others into a panic. They could not persuade the
speaker to change his mind, and a careful canvass of the insurgents and
Democrats showed that if the Speaker dared the combination to unseat him
the dare would be accepted.
Then It was that former Representative Jim Watson appeared on tho
scene. It the previous congress, be
fore he resigned to make his unsuc
cessful race for governor of Indiana,
Watson was the majority whip. Al
though an ex-member, he got into the
thick of the fight immediately. In 24
hours he was able to give assurance that the house would not accept tbe
speaker's resignation or declare the
chair vacant should any insurgent or Democrat make the motion. Dalzell, Payne and Dwlght, forlorn as graveyards, were in the house lobby. Everything was looming up black and horrible. Disaster to their "machine" and their leader, the speaker, was imminent "Cheer up," said Watson. "Uncle
Joe is to remain speaker. You fellows
are licked but make the best of a bad bargain.
"How are you going to stop them?
Who is changing?" were only some of
the questions they asked him, when he" interrupted:
"Never mind how. Watch results.
I can't spoil things by imparting any information to this trio."
Thereupon, it is said, a feeling arosa

hat in his hand when walking in in shade. He was discussing the other day
what he termed the "uselessness- of
