PATRONAGE AND PRISONS.
President of the Wardens' Associn-
tiOn scores Political Brigandnge.

KANSAS CITY. Mo. Nov. 12.-lnterest
in the Congress Of the National PRISON
Association is increasing. The ses
sion yesterday morning at the Grand
Avenue Methodist Church was well
attended by persons who are interest
ed in prison work. Only rou-
tine business was transacted by the con
gress proper, the Wardens' Association re
ceiving the right of way on the pro
gramme.
In his annual address Otis Fuller, Presi-
dent of the Wardens' Association, scored
political brigands and ward-heelers Mr..
Fuller is the superintendent of the Mich
igan Reformatory. at 1onia. He said;
II refer now to the political brisand-
age which is still prevalent in n few
States. the brigandage which ruthiessly
seizes not only the prisons. but all the
other public institutions. and holds them
for political ransom. Honest, efficient
wise, and humane prison management
cannot reach it's highest stage of devel-
opment until the outraged taxpayer and
the humanitarian take the ward-heeler
by the throat "

and denounced the fee systems in vogue
throughout the country.
Charles G. Baker, assistant superinten-
dent of the peuitentiaries of New York

Office. one year ago at the Cleveland
meeting the wardens agreed to contribute
to the bureau, and Mr.. Baker called many

NO RADICAL SUGGESTIONS
The Presidents Message to BE
Conservative in Tone.
Recommendations On Important
Questions to BE Avoided-Advice
From Leaders in Both Houses OF
Congress-Trusts and the Tariff.

President Roosevelt has worked so in
dustriously Of late that he has practically
completed his message to Congress, and
as he said to a gentleman whom he con-
suited about some features of 1t yoster-
day, there is little more to be added or
inserted except in the way Of finishing
touches. The Sc viii be finally decided
upon after the President shall have con-
suited eX-Spealler Henderson. whose ar
rival has been somewhat delayed. ana
who VIII reach Washington in a day or
two: Senators AIdrieh and Allison, who
are coming this week, and one or two
other Senators and Representatives, who
have not yet been able to accept the
Presidents invitation to talk over with
him the questions that will be discussed
in the message.
The document will go to the printer
promptly after these men have been con-
suited and viii be ready to submit to
Congress on its opening day, Monday,
December ,
So much has been written about what
the President will have to say concerning
matters with which Congress has to deal
that the public mind has naturally be-
come somewhat confused. There has
been widespread and persistent report
that he will take a very radical course
in dealing with legislative questions, espe-
cially reciprocity treaties and the trusts.
OF course. nobody is authorized to state
at this time just what the message VIII
Or viii not contain, but it is very signif-
cant that nearly all of the able, intuen-
tial and conservative Senators and Repre-
sentatives, who have talked with the
President lately. declare that what he viii
have to say in his message touching on
the more important questions of legisla-
tion meets their views. and will have the
approval Of the country at large.
Unless these men are very much mis-
taken. therefore. the President will dis
cuss these questions rather than make
any specific recommendations.
From what is learned definitely relative
to the Presidents views it Is now prac-
tically certain that he does not think
tariff or financial legislation of any kind
is important or necessary at the approach
ing session, except possibly, the 1egotia-
ton Of reciprocity treaties with those
countries with which the United States
can make bargains on favorable terms,
and in cases where such treaties are die
tated by wisdom ard common sense as
shown by existing trade relations
The President will not, as has been so
often stated. recommend drastic legisla-
tion for the regulation and CurtaIlmeut Of
the powers of trade combinations. but will
content himself with calling the atten-
tfon of Congress to the facts as they eX-
list. leaving that body to deal with the
subject as it thinks best.
There will be no recommendation for
the creation of tariff commission, per-
manent or otherwise.

RAIN STOPS FOREST FIRES.
A Large Blaze in the Woods Near
DeanyyOod Park.

The rain yesterday afforded great re-
lief to the Fire Department, whose ener-
gies have been severely taxed for several
days past in battling with various fires
in the surrounding woods, which at times
have threatened valuable property. The
leaves have been loosely packed, in many
instances were several feet in depth, and
required only a spark to set the entire
place ablaze.
About O'Clock Monday night Policemen
Bryant and Foley teIephoned word to
Headquarters that the woods at Deanwood
Park were on IRE and that the pavilion,
clubhouse, and q number of other build
ings were threatened with destruction.
Chief Dutton detailed seven firemen and
sent them out under the command of
Foreman Henry Of Truck \. They were
supplied with johnson pumps, buckets,
and other hand appliances, and hurried TO
the fire on a special car furnished by the
Columbia Railroad The reserves of the
Ninth precinct were also sent to the fire,
but it was after midnight before the
flames wera finally subdued.
The department was again called on the
same afternoon for a fire in the woods on
the Blagden estate. No. II engine COM
pany was sent out the Fourteenth Street
Road, and had to work for over three
hours before they could withdraw.

from the election to ratify the new
constitution indicate that its adoption is
purely matter of mathematics in the

south of Montgomery seem to have gone

small majority for it. The others simply
report large majorities. but held the fig

vote was light, and ti1c majority over

$3.50. The few hundred negroes who voted
here opposed the constitution. In some
Of the white counties they are reported
to have turned out pretty solidly.

Isthminn Canal Commission Report
Nearly Completed.

The report cf the lsthmiau Canal Com
mission will probably be submitted to the
President the latter part of this week or
the first of next week. The Commission
met yesterday at its headquarters, in the
Corcnran Building. to complete its find
ings. and the report will be signed within
a few days. All Of the members IF the
Commission were present at the meeting
vest. rday.
While the report Is practically COM
pleted, and follows the lines indicated i'll
the preliminary statement issued nearly
a year ago, there are number OF minor
details which the Commission VIII III
clude before the official document Is
signed and submitted to the President
These relate chiefly to a revision .ot the
estimates, several changes being mace IN
the number Of items in both the Nlcara-
qua and the Panama routes. The Com
mission has ascertained what these VIII
be. and is now engaged in including thehi
in its report
Two sessions were held yesterday. one
in the morning and another in the after
noon. in order that the business might be
expedited as much as possible In the pre-
liminary report the cost of building the
Panama route was estimated at about
about S20o,OOO,O1o The changes in the final
report will amount to several millions of
dollars in both cases, but are not esps-
cially important in such a lar-;e eNUcndi-
turc.
The Commission is authorized by law
TO recommend "a route, but it is thought
that its recommendation viii be by infer
! ence rather than by direct statement. but

| is thought that the greater portion of the
| Commissions report will deal with the
Nicaragua route end the Panama route
viii only be mentioned incidentally, al
though it will be shown that the Com
mission fully investigated the latter route
and found 1t impracticable when compared
with the Nicara guam. The final surveys.
it is said, have convinced the members
of the Commission more strongly than
ever of the practicability of the Nicaragua
Canal and it is believed therefore that
the final report will have a stronger lean
ing toward that route than did the pre-
liminary one
Lord Pauncefote will sign the Canal
Treaty as soon as he receives the official
authority from his Government to do so,
and this. it is thought. will be very soon;
The conditions have already been agreed
to wherein Great Britain practically
makes complete surrender to the de-
mands eXacted by the Senate, including
the unqualified abrogation Of the Clayton
Bulwer Treaty, thereby giving the United
States entiIre control over the waterway.
1t is expected that there will be very
little difficulty in the ratification of an
agreement.
