Washington, Special.-Serious in iustrial disputes in prospect were in ;he mind of President Roosevelt .vhen he wrote a' letter to the inter State commerco commission which was made public. He says that in formation has reached him, that on iccount of thc enactment of drastic aws by Congress and by various State Legislatures, it is regarded aa accessary by railroad companies to reduce the pay of their employes. He points ont that, under the law, eith jr party may demand the services of tho chairman of the inter-Stato com naeroe committee, and of the Com missioner of Labor, as a board ot .'onciliation. He suggests, therefore; that the inter-State commerce coin mission wage conditions on various railroads as may relate, directly o indirectly to the possible impending controversy. Tho President's Letter. The full text -of thc President H letter is as follows: "The White Houffc, Washington, Feb. 18, 1908. To the inter-State commerce com? mission : I am informed that a' num ber of railroad companies have ser ved notice of a proposed reduction of wages on their employes. One o* them, the Louisville & Nashville, in announcing the reduction, states that ;>'thc drastie laws inimical to the in terests of the railroads that havo iu the past year or two been enacted by Congress atuTthe State Legisla tures," are largely or chiefly respon ?ible for the conditions requiring re? auction. Under such circumstances it is pos ?ible that the public may soon be confronted by serious industrial dis putes, and the law provides that in such cases cither party may demand the services of your chairman and of the Commissioner of Labor as ai board of mediation and conciliation. These reductions in wages may ba warranted, or they may not. As to this the public, which is a vitally in terested party, can form no judgment without a more complete knowledgo of the essential facts and real mer its of the case than it now has or than it can possibly obtain from tho special pleadings certain to bo pul forth by each side in case their dis pute should bring about serious in terruption to trame. If the reduc tion in wages is due to natural caus es, the loss of business being such that fe burden should be and is equitably distributed between capi talist and wage workers, tho publio i should know it. If.it is caused b7 legislation, the public and Congress should know it, and if it is caused by misconduct in the past financial or other operations of any railroad, then everybody should know it, es pecially if the excuse of unfriendly legislation is advanced as a method af covering up past business miscon duct by the railroad managers, or as justification for failure to treat fairly the wage ?arning employes of the company. Moreover, an industrial conflict be tween a failroad . corporation ??i iii employes offers peculiar opportuni ties to any small number of evil disposed persons to destroy life and property and foment public disord er. Of course, if life, property and public order aro endangered, prompt tnd drastic measures for their pro tection become the first plain duty. All other issues then becomo subor dinate to the preservation of the pub lic peace, and the real merits of the original controversy aro ncessarily lost from view. This vital considera tion should be ever kept in mind by all law-abiding and far-sighted mem bers of labor organizations. It is sincerely to be hoped, there fore, that any wage controversy that may arise between the railroads and their employes may find a peaceful solution through the methods of con ciliation and arbitration already pro vided by Congress, which have prov en so effective during tho past year. To this end the commission should bc in a position to have available for any board of conciliation or arbitra tion relevant data pertaining to such carriers as may become involved in industrial disputes. Should confla tion fail to effect a settlement and ar bitration be rejected, accurate infor mation should be available in order to develop a properly informed pub ::o opinion. I therefore ask you to make such investigation, both of your records and by any other means at your com mand as will enable you to furnish data concerning such conditions ob taining on tht Louisville & Nashville and any other roads, as may relate. directly or indirectly to the real mer its of the possibly impending contro versy.

Washington, Special.-Senator A. C. Latimer, of South Carolina, died hero Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock following an operation for in testinal trouble several days ago. The members of his family were at his bedside when the end came. Ar rangements fer thc funeral have not been made. Senator Latimer was taken desper ately ill Sunday night and was placed in Providence Hospital, where an op. eratiou was performed. Ho showed signs of improvement Monday and Tuesday, but complications set in carly and bis' death soon followed. Senator Latimcr'a Career. Senator Asbury Churchwell Lali? mer was 57 years of agc. Ho was a native of South Carolina, having been born in Abbeville county, near the small town of -towndcsvillc. His boyhood and early manhood were spent on the farm. His first activt political office was that of county chairman of .the Democratic party ol his county in 1890. When tho Till? man movement in.South Carolina be gan to take shape in tho early 9Q'a Senator Latimer allied himself prom inently with tho reformers and waa nominated for Co ogress, to which ha was elected over Col.. Gcorgo John stone, of Newberry. He served in the Fifty-third, Fifth-fourth, Fifty-sixth and Fifty-seventh Congresses. He was a candidato to succeed Sen ator John L. McLaurin in the warm campaign Of 1902 and was elected by a majority of_17,700 over former Governor John Gary Evans, ex-Con gressman George Johnstone and Wil liam Elliott, cx-Senator John J. ETemphill and State Senator D. S. Henderson.-: His term as Senatoi would expire March 3, 1909. Tho News in Columbia. Columbia, S. C., Special.-Tho news of the death of Senator Latimer is " received in Columbia, where the Legislature is in session, with evi dence pf sorrow and regret on all sides. Those opposed to him politi cally join with his political friends in speaking of him. Governor Ansel has not as yet been officially informed of the death. As soon as he is, he will send a message to the Legislature, which will adjourn for the day or night, as the case may be, aud appoint a committee to at tend tho funeral. In view of section 17, of the re vised statues, which says a senatorial vacancy occurring during a sitting of a Legislature must be filled by tho Legislature "on the second Tuesday after the Legislature has organized and has notice of such vacancy," it is likely that the Legislaturo will bave to remain in session 10 days"-fit ter Sunday," the day fixed for adjourn ment, in order to choose a successor to Mr. Latimer. If the Legislature were not in session Governor Ansei would have the appointment to make. The death of Senator Latimer is of great political importance." It. is certain that hod ho lived ho would have had half a dozen opponents in bis campaign for re-election next summer. Avowed Candidates. Those already in the racp against him were, ex-Goverhor John Gary Evans, of Spartanburg; ex-Congress man George Johnstone, of Newberry; ex-State Senator D. S. Henderson, of Aiken; Col. John J. Dargan, of Sum ter, and State Superintendent of Ed ucation O. B. Martin, of Greenville. Governor Ansel was spoken of, bul some time ago declared his desire to offer for another term for Governor. It is also thought that E. D. Smith, general organizer for the Southern Cotton Association and possibly ex Governor Heyward would have been in thc race. Senator Latinrer's death it is thought, will decide ex-Governor Heyward to run. Prospectivo Candidates. Among the prospectivo candidates who have develope for the unexpired term to be filled by tho Legislature are Representative E.. Marion Ruck er, of Anderson; cx-Spcakor bf thc House Frank B, Gary, of Abbeville; Senator LeGrand Walker, of George town.

THE DOINGS OF CONGRESS Doings of Our National Law-Makerf Day by Day. Fowler Financial Bill The principles of the Fowler finan cial bill were defended by former Secretary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage, Charles A. Conant, of New York, and. Prof. Joseph French Johnson, of the New York Univer sity, before the House -committee on banking and currency. Secretary Gage said that we had reached the most important period in the financial history of thc coun try for the past 40 or 50 years and that the solution of the problem de pended largely upon the men making up the banking and currency com mittee. It was early impressed upon him, said Mr. Gage, that a credit cuirency issued on proper assets, received and exchanged, containing only thu amounts cf credit, was an effective, useful and economic agency in tho industrial progress of the people and was the best system of barbing! Mr. Gage said ho thought tho financial system ought to bo revised from the very beginning. He re garded thc Fowler bill as a compre hensive measure which in contrast to tho one offered in the Senato has reached tho fundamentals. Continuing, Mr. Gage said "I have no sympathy at all with the Aldrich bill. I do not think it is curative of our evils. At best it is a patch or a panacea whick may once in 10 years be availed of, when the country is in a condition of intense panic or when manv of the evils of e panic are deevloping and it may not be -effective then. In tho mean time, if adopted, it will probably put us to sleep. It is a gent?o narcotic hat wooes us in false reposo from which we will suffer many a night mare and from which wo will awak en at least in truble and real agony." As a banker, he said, he would ask to come under the provisions of the Fowler bill and would look with dread and apprehension if the Ald rich bill should becomo a law. National Bank Failures. In response to a Senate resolution introduced by Mr. Tillman, Secretary Cortelyou sent to the Senate a re port showing that 30G national banks were placed in charge of receivers between January 1st, 1893, and Jan uary 31st, 19?8.

Washington, Special. - Chairman Fowler, of the House committee on banking and currency, declared that the establishment of the gold stan dard should be put into practical ef fect by making gold coins the basis of all reserves. He says tho charac ter of thc currecy legislation this sea son will determine the financial plank to be adopted by thc Republican con vention at Chicago in June, and his recommendation will make the party's attitude now and in 1900 consistent.
