icy is unchanged, and that the triple
alliance is still in existence.
The preamble of the army bill says
that Germany is still menaced in con-
sequence of her geographical position,
while neighboring States do not cease
their systematic warlike preparations. !"
1t continues in this vein: There is
no doubt that the Cars manifesto fur
nished pledge that, at the present, at
tack from that side is not contemplat-
ed but disarmament has nowhere oc-
Cured. and in present circumstances it
can scarcely be anticipated"
The Hispano-American war is then
cited as furnishing a proof of the dire
consequences of a neglect to make
proper preparations for war;
Special attention is drawn to the mil
itary preparations of France and Rus
sia, and the preamble concludes by de-
claring that strong and well organ
lied army is the surest pledge of
peace"
It is regarded as certain that the
army bin will be passed by a large
majority.
Passionate debates are expected over

THE MARIA TERESA.
Findings of the Court of Inquiry
Into Her Abandonment

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The find
ings Of the court of inquiry concerning
the abandonment of the Infanta Maria
Teresa We're made public to-day. The
finding is summed up in the statement
that the court finds the abandonment
was not due to any fault or neglect on
the part Of any officer of the navy, and
that the court does not think any fur
ther proceedings should be instituted
The vessel was pronounced TO be in
fit condition for the voyage to the
United States in reasonably fair wea TIL
er, but it is not believed called sea-
worthy in gale. It was stated that
Commander Ira Harris did not take
charge of the Teresa till after the de-
cision of Captain Chittenden of the
Merritt Wrecking Company to aban-
don her
This settles the contention advanced
before the meeting of the court that
Commander Harris exceeded his au-
thority in taking charge Of the cruiser.

PROTEST FROM FRESNO.
Objection to the Putting of Zante
Currants ON the Free List.

FRESNO, Dec. GA meeting has
been called for this evening of the Di-
rectors of all commercial bodies in this
city, also of representatives of bank
ing interests and public men generally,
to formulate a protest against the rec
ommendation of President Mckinley in
his message to the effect that the men
tion Of reciprocal commercial relations
between America and Greece including
the restoration of Zante "currants" to
the free list, is under consideration.
The excitement here over this pro-
posed move is not small, and the Cali
fornia Raisin Growers Association,
deeming it vital question TO raisin
growers, has taken up the matter, and
to-day wired TO all fruit-raising asso-
Citations throughout the State urging its
executive officers to flood the President
with similar protests. 1t was the COM
bined fight emanating from this part of
the valley that brought about the plac-
ing of a tariff on so-called Zante cur
rants, which are held here to be moth
ing more than cured grapes, and there
fore coming in direct competition with
the local product.

FRESNO, Dec Cat about o'clock
this evening two masked men entered
the Postoff1ce at Clifton, twenty miles
south of Fresno, on the Valley ROAD
and held up A. T. Wilkinson, the Post
master. After searching him for wea-
pons and money, one of the ROBBERS
watched over the Postmaster, pistol IN
hand, while the other looted the mail
and the till of the store.
The robbers then took their departure.
commanding Wilkinson not TO bulge
from the store for ten minutes, threat
ening to do~him up if he disobeyed.
Deputy United States Marshal Boust
OF this city was notified of the robbery,
and is organizing a posse to pursue the
miscreants
No additional information concerning
the holdup at Clifton Postoffice is ob-
tainable here at a late hour tonight
The place is some distance from Del
Rey, the station on the Valley Road,
from which the telegraph message to
Deputy United States Marshal Boust
of this city was SENT by the Postmaster.
The message was brief one, and did
not state the amount the robbers got
away with but it must have been small.
The robbers chose their time wisely,
waiting for the supper hour, when
country stores are usually deserted.
No description of the men was given
by Wilkinson, leaving the officer moth
ing to work on He merely stated that
after leaving the store the men went
in a southerly direction. Deputy Mar
shall Boust tried in vain to reach Cliff
ton by telegraph, but did not succeed.
All he could do, therefore, was to tele-
graph down the line to various officers
to keep on the lookout for suspicious
characters. He himself will leave for
the scene of the holdup in the morning.

WELCOMING HEROES HOME.
A Familiar Sight at Old Cambridge
in the Football Season.

Richard Stillman Powell contributes
rattling football story, 1.-THE Arrival

Yale and Harvard, in which the bril-
liant work of a substitute. Jimpson,
gave the game to the latter. The story
ends in this fashion,:
The band was playing Washington
POST Harvard Square was bright un-

humanity was packed tight from the
street to the balustrade of Matthews,
and from there UP and across the yard
Cannon crackers punctuated the blare
of noise with sharp detonations. The
college was out in full force to well
come home the football heroes, and
staid and prim old Cambridge lent her
quota to the throng. From the back
of Gray's the cheering grew louder,
and the crowd surged towards the ave-
nue.. The band broke ranks and skel-
tered after. A four-horse barge drew
up slowly at the curb, and, one after
another, the men dropped out, tightly
clutching their bags, and strove to slip
away through the throng. But each

all were out and up, the band started

BALDWIN HOTEL FIRE.
The Remains of Another Victim
Taken From the Ruins.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6-Worxmen
engaged in clearing away the debris
caused by the destruction of the Bald
win Hotel to-day came across the body
of John ]. Carter, the well known
Eastern horseman, who has been acting
as judge at the Oakland and Ingle-
side meetings
Judge Carter occupied room on the
fifth floor of the Baldwin Hotel. and
during the early progress of the fire it
was thought that he had escaped, but
as he had not put in an appearance it
soon became certain that he had been
lost. His body was positively identified
this afternoon.
Edward Pryor, a bookmaker, is still
missing, and it is certain that he also
suffered the same fate as Carter An
organized search is being made for more
bodies.
The finding of Judge Carters remains
brings the list of dead, directly caused
by the Baldwin fire, up to five.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Comment Of British and French
Journals ON the State Paper.

LONDON, Dec. 6.-The afternoon
newspapers here expressed satisfaction
at President McKinley's message TO
Congress, with the exception of the al
fusion to the Nicaraguan Canal which
to the minds of the editors, loes not
show sufficient appreciation of British
treaty rights.
The Pail MALI Gazette says: I'm
language of studied moderation, but
which leaves no room to DOUBT it's
meaning, the President foreshadows the
fixed determination of the Government
to stand by the policy of the open door
in the East. That declaration brings
the United States in line with us. if
ever the time comes to speak with enc
mics in the open doorway
The ''St. James Gazette says: 1.-THE
message will be read with pleasure. The
President faces new issues in broad
minded way and suggests the solution
of their problems on large and gener-
Gus lines"
PARIS, Dec. 6.-The "Liberte," refer
ring to President McKinlays S message,
says: THE message which under the
circumstances was awaited with ma
tional impatience, satisfies all curiosity.
It constitutes true manifest of new
imperial policy of the United States.
The American Republic, which has
hitherto been voluntarily isolated, en-
ters with wings fully outspread into
the concert Of the Powers, and intends
henceforth to be heard and will make
it's intentions felt wherever it seems

NOTED by the important role recently

interested in the far East is disposed
to deny to America the practical and
reasonable demands Of President Nc
Kinley."
The Temps thinks that after perus-
ing the message no one will be the
wiser in regard to what can be hoped
from friendship of the United States
or feared from her enterprises. "As
regards Cuba, it may be remarked that
the Presidents declaration is absolute
ly identical with the declaration of
Great Britain when that country en-
tered Egypt, where she still remains
The most interesting part of the
