B. & O. MEETING.
Developments in Recent Combina-
tions of Capital Are Expected.

Baltimore. Md, Jan. 16.-The repeat
eddy postponed annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad company will be held in this
city on Wednesday, 1t has been post
poned monthly since November, be-
cause of the big deals pending and the
perfecting of the reorganization
scheme. Whether any formal announce
ment of the company's new connections
with the Pennsylvania or the New York
Central will then be made can only be
conjectured. William Solomon, chair
man Of the voting trustees, said re-
Gently that important developments
might be expected at the annual meet
ing. 1t is believed that the Pennsyl-
vania will receive representation on the
board.
1t is the programme to re-elect the
present directors and the president, John
K. Cowen; the first vice president, Oscar
G. Murray, and the second vice presi-
dent. Frederick Underwood.

BASE AND sORDID.
Beveridge's Speech Is So CIassed by
Senator Wolcott.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Tn a speech on
the Philippines question yesterday. Sen
ator Wolcott (CoL) directed his atten-
ton to the speech delivered by Mr..
Beverage last week, saying that the
senator from Indiana had told of a
mountain of gold, of coffee, of hemp, of
corn, of the rich and tempting valley
of LuZon and he had said our COM
merce by the retention of the islands
would be richly rewarded.
Mr.. President " said Senator VOL
colt, the argument of the senator from
Indiana is base and Sordid. This war,
If we consider first our duty to the peo-
pie of the islands is the nOblest ever
fought, but if our purpose in retaining
them is that they are rich, the war will
go down as miserable and degraded a
one as ever disgraced the history OF the
middle ages"
There was a disposition, he continued
referring again to Mr. Beverages
speech, to treat the questions involved
with a sentimentality somewhat
maudlin. 1t was possible that we were
a chosen people, as Mr.. Beveridge had
said, whom God Almighty had made a
trustee of the civilization of the world,
but if so we would need to treble our
fleet of war vessels, we would have to
join England and Germany in the par
titiOn of China, we must needs seize
Madagascar and Port Arthur. MY own
idea of the mission of America" said
the senator, lis that it is the last hope
of republics; that our broad large fer
tile area will gradually fill up by the
admission of the foreigners and op-
pressed of other lands and that in days
of peace we will work out the noblest
and highest social problems. We will
say to the rulers of the world: You
may hold your thrones as long as the
people will permit, but this continent
shall forever be devoted to liberty;
you shall not step your foot upon it
That is our destiny. I believe it is idle
to talk of our being Gods chosen peo-
pie"
Mr.. Wolcott said he was startled by
Mr.. Beveridge's statement that charity
did not begin at home but was filtered
in from the outside. With the munici-
pal corruption that all admitted exist
ed 1t was ridiculous to talk of appoint
ing a lot of Indiana politicians in the
Philippines and letting the reflected
glory of our republic shine across the
seas to make their administration pure
and holy If that was so then the ISL
ands would be worth millions, though
they only consisted of lava beds and
the craters of dead volcanoes. But, Mr..
Wolcott said, we were bound to make
many mistakes and before we finished
we might believe we have takens over
from Spain a home for incorrigibles
But" concluded Mr. Wolcott, ain
the closing year of the century, when
the world is growing more benefcent.
when the rich are growing richer ana
the poorer classes richer too, the time
will come If we do our duty when the
sun which now shines so bright over
our own country will shed its refulgent
rays upon far distant seas"

MANY KANSANS

Toronto, Ont, Jan. 16.NThe superin-
tendent of immigration has received re-
ports from most of his agents in the
United States and estimates that near
ly IA 900 settlers from the republic have
become residents of Canada during the
past year. A conservative estimate
places the wealth of these persons at

the number of settlers from the United

very encouraging. Kansas and Arkan-
