President Already Preparing His Rec
omrn end ti ons to Congress.

President Roosevelt. according to
WASHINGTON correspondents, has begun
work ON his message to Congress. As
It win be his first message and as the
President will have to handle matters Of
the greatest moment, the message wifi be
awaited with ir ense interest, A feature
of the message, it is said, will be the an
nouncement of the work of the Cuban
legislation convention and a report of the
work looking to the sef-government of
the island; also the date ON which the
American troops will be withdrawn from
the island
In the message the President will call
the attention of Congress TO the report
of the Isthmian canal commission and
make the recommendation, in accordance
with his well-known views, that this gov
eminent begin the construction of the
canal at the earliest opportunity. The
context of the new treaty between the
United States and Great Britain to re-
place the rejected Hay-P auncefote treaty
will be known TO the President before
ne completes his message, and if he be-
lieves it unsatisfactory he will probably
transmit 1t without comment. Otherwise
1t is declared he win urge its ratification
BY the time the message is completed
conditions in the Philippines and the es-
tablishment of civil government there
will also be reported to Congress, with

and Samar, the troublesome island, where
the United States troops were recently
massacred, will probably have been sub

President Roosevelt viii also report the
final settlement Of the difficulties in
China, with mention Of the prominent
part played by the United States in Sc,
curing a fair settlement.
One of the ,nost important points In
the Presidents message will be the in
crease In the United States navy. He
will probably make a strong recommend
ton that rate of increase be kept up
that win keep the United States navy
equal at least to that of Germany and
Russia. Another important point viii

anarchy in this country.

Naval Officer Reaches Age Limit and
Is Succeeted by Wildes.


Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley is
now on the navy retired list. Captain
Frank Wildes, who commanded the Bos-
after Admiral Schley's retirement to fill
the vacancy.
Winfield Scott Schley's connection with
the United States navy covered period
of over forty years. He spent eighteen
years, period much longer than the av-
erage, at sea, and twenty-five years on
shore duty. He has sailed on all the seas
and has fought on more of them than
perhaps any other officer in the navy.
In 1856. at the age of II, he entered
the Naval Academy from Maryland,
Immediately after mis- graduation he was
attached, as a midshipman, TO the frigate
Niagara, which conveyed home the first
Japanese embassy sent to the civilized
world.
The Civil War had begun when, in
April, 1861, the Niagara returned. Schley
swore allegiance to the Union His first
war service was as commander Of q big
prize steamer which he nayir ga from
Charleston to Philadelphia. He was
placed in command of the Potomac and
distinguished himself by assisting, under
heavy fire. in the recovery of a disabled
Union warship drifting helplessly near
the shore in Mobile Bay.
His most notable service was the res
cue of the Greedy North Pole expedition.
He beat the whaers who were inspired
by reward of $4,000 TO be the first to
find Greedy, although to de SO he sailed
in the waters near Cape Sabine month
earlier than they had ever before been
navigated or have been navigated since.
As commander of the cruiser Baltimore
he was chosen to convey the body of John
Ericsson to Sweden. He sailed then TO
Valparaiso, where two of the Baltimore s
crew were killed and fifteen wounded by

war with Spain was declared he was
made commander-in-chief OF the flying
squadron.
Schley's retirement, 1t is said will have
no effect upon the investigation now in
progress.

THE IDOL OF FRANCE.

America is soon to welcome Henri

he won the serat international autono-
bile race from Paris to Berlin and now
t.e comes here 20 participate in a similar
event in this country--the race between
Buffalo and Erie. Or him Walter Well

He is to-day the best known man along

thing red and white is seen dashing by at

suddenly all the people jump up from

The report of the death OF Ahdur Rah
man Khan, Ameer If Afghanistan, has
been confirmed and Europe viii have an
opportunity to see test of the theory
that it was the Ameer's life which stood
in the way Of clash between Russia
and Great Britain. The Ameer's eldest
son, Habihullah Khan. has been officially
proclaimed Ameer and the accession has
been accepted by his brothers and the
sirdars. Before his death the old Ameer
warned the Afghans against the Rus

Habib Khan is an unknown quantity
outside his own country. 1t is possible
that he has been trained to follow in his
fathers footsteps and will endeayor te
initiate that v ~ oriental's policy Of keep

which has been "A cause Of apprehension.

truth to say that during the past seven
years 100000 veterans have joined the

remain and their growing infrmities must
make great gaps in the Grand Army

ROOM IN THE WEST.
Unutiiized Acres of Land Aggregating
100000, 900 Acres.

1t is not generally known that there are
IN the United States untitled areas Of
land to the extent Of D00.000,000 acres.
There are times when one is apt TO think
that the country is getting a triiie crowd
ed. and one welcomes the opening Of
little tracts Of a few hundred thousand
acres as affordiBg 0pportune relief to a
condition Of almost dangerous congestion,
But all Europe does not possess the area
which Is included in the arid regon west
Of the Mississippi. There's the rub
it is an arid region. But In these days Of
vast increase ia the employ fnFnt Of irri-
CATION, the solution Of the problem Of
congestion appears.
This tremendous expanse Of territory is
capable Of supporting a population Of 80
OO1, 900 people. At the increase rate OF
only 100000 or 6,O00,O00 in a decade, it
will be long tiIne before the population
Of the country has reached 125,000,oO0
But the preparations must be made to
accommodate a population roughly estl-
mated by these figures.
