Speaking of the celebration, Chauncey
M. Depew. who is the author of Com
mercial Day." said yesterday: tThe his
torical facts to support this movement
are pregnant with interest and sugges-
ton. The close OF the first century of
our American commerce should not pass
unnoticed, and the business men of today
should bow their acknowledgements to
the valued services rendered by the pa
triots of one hundred years ago.
Il am very much pleased at the favor
able comments from the newspapers in
all parts of the country on my suggestion
that December 10 be recognized as "Com-
mercial Day. Some OF the papers seem
to have labored under the the misappre-
hension that have made a mistake in
my date. The Jay, treaty was not made
ina day. From the time of jays ap-
pointment until the ratification of the
treaty by both countries, period of
three years elapsed; but II was in De-
cember, 1895 that Washington expressed
to congress his approval of the treaty
as whole, and with the close Of this
year we mark our century of success in-
augurated by this treaty. December 10
was mentioned because that date had al
ready been chosen for the gathering and
banquet in New York.

Southern Pacific Special Fare

Notice Issued by the Company, 1t is

San Francisco, Dec 13.-Tne Southern
Pacific Company is distributing cards to
the travelling public, bearing the follow
ing notice,
Special notice regarding the San Fran,
CISCO and Portland train: This train is
run for the exclusive accommodation of
San Francisco and Portland traffic. This
train does not stop at intermediate sta
tions for the purpose of handling or taxi
ing on passengers, in as much as no tick
cts are sold nor baggage checked for
such points. Consequently we feel oblie-
ed to give the travelling public due warn
ing not to heard this train for tho pur-
rcse OF taking passage thereon, for any
intermediate stations, for If they do they

Many people bound for intermediate
points are buying through tickets to
Portland at the cut rate and leave a train
when 1t arrives at the station TO which
they are destined The announcement
that the special will hereafter have no
regular stopping points will have little
effect, 1t is thought in inducing a pas

ATLANTIC SQUADRON
Program of Winter Maneuvers
is Announced.
Will Have Target Practice in Para
Bay, But Not Enter Ven-
eZuelan Waters.

Washington, Dec. 13-The program of
the maneuvers and movements of Admiral
Bunce's North Atlantic squadron has at
length been arranged. The squadron will
depart from The rendezvous on the 21st
inst, and 1t is expected to return to that
place May u next year. The first stop
will be at st. Thomas, on December 22d,
and after that the ships will put into a
number of ports on the Gulf of Mexico
and the Caribbean sea. During the stay
at Trinidad the squadron will have drills
and target practice in the bay of Para
just off the Venezuelan coast, and near
the territory which is now in dispute be-
tween Great Britain and Venezuela.
1t Is a matter of note, however, that
at no point in the itinerary does the
squadron enter a Venezuelan port, and
Admiral Bunce doubtless is Influenced in
this respect by the wishes of the depart
ment of state, for the assemblage of an
American fleet in Venezuela at this juno,
ture might be construed as threat and
in the end greatly complicate the nego-
tiations now in progress with the British
fgoreign Office over the Venezuelan boun,
dary question. To prevent any such i'm
preston from gaining ground, the navy
department, has been particular to state
explicitly that the winter maneuvers OF
the North Atlantic squadron are absolute
ly uninfiuenced by any foreign issues and
are simply in continuance of the summer
lrills as outlined last spring.
