Washington, Jan 1.-THE senate
to-day passed bill granting old
settlers the right 10 make second

The bin provides that any person.
who, prior TO its passage. had made
homestead entry and had lost or
forfeited the same. or had failed TO

having perfected title, the person
paid S1.25 an acre for the land. and
such person is not the owner of over

be allowed to take an additional
homestead entry the same as if no
previous entry had been made.
Many persons, who had heretofore.
gone into the frontier and taken land
under the homestead law have found
it impossible to perfect the entry and
comply with the provisions OF the
law. owing to sickness or 10 financial
disaster. Many persons paid S1.25
an acre for the land, giving a mort
gage thereon. but owing to poor
crops, drought and tow prices offarm

has taken the land, thus leaving

true TO the principles that have made
this country great, then | would sub,

misingly opposed.
Il am in favor Of securing all the
West Indies islands if we can do so,
he continued. Il believe they will be
desirable and proper acquisitions to
our territory. That sort of expan-
sion is o. the right line. But, mind
you. it should not go beyond terri
tory in this country. We have no
business either in morals or politics
to take and keep the Philippines.
Suppose the democratic party de
ciares against expansion and the re-
publicans for it, would you contrib

SILVER FORCES UNITED.
Press Bureau of Administration Would
Like TO Show Otherwise.

Washington. Jan. As the time
approaches for the active opening OF
the national campaign the press bu-
reau OF the administration shows
pronounced industry in circulating
tales OF discord in the ranks OF the
democracy and their silver allies.
That there is nothing in these sto-
ries is well known by the authors of
them. but on the theory that they
may fool the public they are being
industriously circulated
Senator Henry NJ. Teller, OF Colo
RADIO who left the St. Louis cOnyen-
ton when it adopted the gold plank,
is the foremost representative OF the
silver republicans. He has had his
attention called to some Of these an
te-campaign canards,
''Iou can say for me- said Sena-
tor Teller, that there is no truth in
the reports that dsintearation is
threatened in the silver forces and
in the national silver party to resolve
it into original groups for independ-
ent action in the next campaign
These reports have been started by
the republican managers for an obvi-
Gus purpose. The silver elements of
different views as to details were
never SO firmly united as they are at
present.
I'VE shall enlist under the demo |
cratic banner even more enthusiastic |
cally and unitedly this year than in |
1896. We can accomplish more this
year than we accomplished four years
ago, because we will enter the fight |
with perfected organization and
thoroughly equipped machiner. We
can count on every one of the group
OF western states that we carried for
Bryan without devoting much atten-
ton to them this year, which will ell
a BILE us to help i'll the fight in other
states. The republicans could not
buy these states with all the money
in the universe

AN EARTHQUAKE IN RUSSIA.
Already 500 Bodies Havs Been Found
in Wrecked Towns of the Trans
caucdSia.

Tifiis, Russian Transcaucasia, Jan
4.-Earthquake shocks have shaker
thirteen villages in the Achalkalak
district of this government Six OF
these places have been completely de
stroyed and 500 bodies have already
been recovered.
The Transcaucasia is that part OF
Russia living beyond the Caucasus
mountains In Asia, between the Black
sea and the Caspian. 1t has an area
OF 81 900 square miles and d popula-
ton of ), 400, 900 people. 1t is about
$50 miles across. Tifiis. the capital
of all the district, is a city of16O,0 900
inhabitants, and is said to be 400
years old,
Mount Ararat, known in scriptural
history as the resting place ofNoah' $
ark, is on the southern boundary of
this region. The theory that slight
settling of the land in that region
helped to cause the flood of Biblical
and Chaldean narrative. might find
support from these recent earthquake
disturbances.
Mount Ararat itself is a famous
volcano. Its last great outbreak
was in June, 1910. 1t reaches
height of II 200 feet above sea level.
The range of the Caucasus, to the
north of the district. eliminates in
Mount Elburg, 1880 feet high.
The Transcaucasia is the great oil
and naptha region of the Russian
empire. On the shore of the Black
sea are the Batum fields, which are
supplying much of the oil for eastern
Europe. On the shore of the Caspian
is Baku, which also does a large bust
ness in oil. There are famous naptha
and hot springs throughout the
Transcaucasia. The region surren-
dered to Russia only half century
ago. Its people are of the most di-
verse nationalities. They are Ossetin,
lngash. Aisors. Hefsurs. Lesgians.
Russians, Armenians, Georgians, Cir
cassians, Persians, Turks. Jews and
Turkomans.
1t was in the village of Abbas tn
man, in the Transcaucasia, that the
crown prince of Russia, brother TO

BOERS ASKED Us TO MEDIATE.
A Recent Request That America Make
Efforts TO Bring an End TO
the War.

Washington. Jan 4.-There is rea.
government has only recently re
quested this government to use its
good offices to bring an end to its
war with Great Britain. The propo-
sitiOn came through the American
consul at Pretoria No answer has
been given by the state department
and unless Great Britain intimates
| that it Is DESTROYS of the President
exercising his good offices there is no
reason 10 believe that he will comply
with the Boer request. 1t is to be
expected that IA reply will be made
acknowledging the receipt OF the con-
suls presentation, which he will
transmit to State Secretary Reitz,
but this probably is as far as the
government will care TO 90 at this
time.
II can be stated on authority that
there is no intention on the part of
the administration to depart from
its policy of nOninterference unless
requests for mediation are received
simultaneously from Great Britain
and the Transvaal. Just before the
outbreak of hOstilities the BOer gov
eminent appealed TO the President TO
use his influence with Great Britain
to avert the war. but the President
declined to interfere and nothing has
occurred to change his determine
ton.
