PATIENT is DOING NICELY.

Groton, Mass, Dec. S.-From the
meager information that can be obtain
ed from the physicians in attendance it,
is learned that the condition of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Jr.. is as comfortable as
could be expected tonight, and that no
decided change in his symptoms oc-
Cured during the day. The physicians
look for no material improvement for
at least a day or two and will be salts
fed if he shows no change for the worse
during that period.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who arrived at the
school this morning, has been in con-
slant attendance upon her SON. Her
presence has cheered the lad up Won
derfully. President Roosevelt is in di-
rect communication by wire with the
sick chamber, and is kept informed of
everything hat transpires there.
There was considerable activity about
the school during the day, owing to the
departure of the students, nearly all OF
whom have now left for their homes.
At midnight it was stated at the Gro
ton school that there was absolutely no
cause for alarming reports as TO the
condition of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. He
is, if anything, slightly improved, and
there is no change for the worse that
would call for the presidents presence.

Detroit. Mich, Feb. 12.-F. c. An
arews was interviewed this afternoon
for the first time since the City bank
closed.
II have not a penny. | am ruined.
said he. But | don't worry about my
self. All that is on my mind now is to
save the others involved in this crash. y
Andrews said he could satisfactorily
explain all if given opportunity; that
he had plenty of collateral when loans
were made, and that if given a chance
he could arrange the matters so that
everybody would get his money. His
railroad concession alone, he said. was
sufficient to pay every cent the bank
owes. He said his troubles began with
the drop in A~malgamated and count
lated as the market went down.
These criminal proceedings are all
right" said he, but if the fellows think
they can get their money by putting me
behind the bars for a year, where can
get rest. | am satisfied.
The people need not worry about
public funds which were in the bank.
They will be all restored. although it
will perhaps break the directors who
will have to make good the deficiency"

Heavy Loss at Springfield.

Springfield, O.. Feb. 10.-The largest
fire in the history of Springfield broke
out in the Champion Chemical plant of
the East street shops at 8 a. m. and by
IL manufacturing plants were in
ruins. the estimated loss is 500, 900,
with insurance of $500, 900. The fire
from an explosion of chemicals
in the Champion Chemical plant on the
floor. Strong southwesterly winds
were blowing. and, with amazing rapid
ity, the fire ate its way along the build
ings which were all under one roof, eX-
tending 800 feet along East street and
] 200 feet along Railroad. Efforts of the
fire companies were of no avail. One
plant quickly followed another until all
were ablaZe. The workmen saved very
little equipment. Every building was
destroyed, nothing but the walls being
standing. Ten firemen were caught in
the Office of the Krell-French company,
and to get out rolled down the steps and
jumped out of the windows.
The shops originally were built at a
cost of $3.50, 900. and the equipment was
valued at $4,000, 900. At the receivers
sale Senator Fairbanks bought them for
$500, 600.

nearly the entire session OF the SEN
ate today the Philippine tariff bill was
under consideration. Senator Turner of
Washington concluded his speech be-
gun last Friday on the legal and con-

States, under the principles of inter-
national law, had no right in the is
lands.
Senator Teller of Colorado took the
floor to deliver a speech on the pending
measure. but had scarcely introduced
his argument before he requested that
he be allowed to continue his address
tomorrow.

FIERCE FIGHT IN CHICAGO.
Riot Call Brings Police Squad Who
Arrest Squatter Streeter and
His Followers.

Chicago. Feb. 12-During a fight with
Winchester rifles this evening between
the followers of the rival claimants to
the property lying along the Lake
Shore drive. the most aristocratic por-
ton of Chicago, Frank Kirk, a watch
man for n of the claimants. was shot
through the head. sustaining a mortal
wound.
The property in dispute is made land
between the Lake Shore drive and Lake
Michigan. George w. Streeter claims
squatter rights because the lane was not
within the original surveyed lines of
the state. He and a number of his fol-
lowers have occupied the land and de-
fled the authority of the state and city.
Tonight Henry Cooper. a lawyer ac-
tive in opposing Streeter, accompanied
by Policeman O'Malley, went upon the
ground and was attacked by Streeter,
who knocked him down with the butt
of a revolver. Streeter's followers COW
cred Policeman O'Malley with weapons,
and he was ordered to leave or be shot.
Shortly after the battle broke out be-
tween Streeter's followers,-William
McManners, William Block and John
Hoeldtke.-and two watchmen, Frank
Kirk and Samuel Portorus.
The two latter were outside their own
shanty. and one of the first shots struck
Kirk in the head. Portorus returned
the fire with a Winchester.
A riot call brought a squad of police,
who found Kirk lying in the snow out
side the shanty. Streeter's men were
firing at Portorus as fast as they could
work their rifles. The police surround
ed the shanty, and, after a time. the
occupants surrendered, and were taken
to the station.
When the police returned they found
Streeter had barricaded his house, but
after a parley he surrendered. He car
ried a rife and four revolvers. All the
persons living on the District of Mich
igan' were arrested, pending the death
or recovery of Kirk. At the hospital. it
was announced that there was no
chance of his recovery.

NEWSPAPER MEN EAGER
TO ACCOMPANY PRINCE
HENRY ON HIS TOUR,
Owing to Limited Accommodations
Only Press Associations and For
eign Correspondents Will be Rep
resented on the Train.

Washington. Feb. S.-The presidents
delegates for the entertainment of
Prince Henry haye been overwhelmed
with applications from the principal
newspapers of the country seeking ac-
~commodation for representatives at the
launching of the Meteor, and also on the
special train upon which Prince Henry
will journey through the country. Ike
German embassy has also received sim
liar communications.
A statement on the subject has been
issued. stating it has beer found i'm
possible to comply with the applica-
tions of the individual newspapers for
the purely physical reason that no train
could be made up to accommodate all
applicants, and yet make schedule time.
1t is of course improper to discriminate
as between newspapers.
By economizing space on the train, it
has been found possible to provide six
places-three for the representatives of
the American press associations and
three for the correspondents of the
newspapers published in Germany. who
will be designated by the German am
bassador.
AS to the launching at Shooters isl
land, Wallace Downey, head of the ship
building firm of New York, has under
taken to provide accommodation for all
newspapers who have the right to make
application to him directly.

WORK ON THE 0LEO BILL.
House Adopts Some Important
Amendments Prior to the Pas
sage of the Act.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The voting on
the amendments to the oleomargarine
bill in the h S today indicated a con-
siderable change of sentiment since the
last congress, when the bill had 100 ma
Jority, and that the opposition to the
measure has gained strength. While
the passage of the bill is not endangered,
it is not likely that the majority tomor-
row, when the final vote is taken, will
exceed so.
The opposition today was strong
enough in committee of the whole to
adopt two important amendments, one
providing that nothing in the act should
be construed to prevent the manufac-
ture and sale of ole~omargarine in any
state for consumption entirely within
such state, and the other to provide for
the inspection and branding of ~renovat-
ed or process butter. The latter amend
ment was especially obnoxious to the
friends of the measure. and when the
bill was reported to the house a sepa-
rate vote was demanded on it.
That vote was pending when the
house adjourned.
Although the amendment commanded
a majority of 20 in the committee of the
whole, where no record was made. it is
unlikely that the action of the COM
mittee will be reversed tomorrow, when
the members are obliged to go on rec
ord.
Several committee amendments
adopted today changed the p~hraseology
of the bill, the important one being that
making a 10-cent tax apply to oleomar-
garine made in imitation of butter "of
any shade of yellow" Considerable
feeling was injected into the proceed
ings towards the close of the session..

The supply was not heavy for Monday.

WITH THE S0L0NS IN
THE HALLS ON CONGRESS
AT NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Measures That Receive Attention in
Both the House and the Senate
and the Casual Incidents as They
Develop in Both Branches.

Washington, Feb. PA stirring de-
bate on the general Philippine question
was precipitated in the senate To-Day,
the principal participants being Sena-
tors Plat of Connecticut and Hoar of
Massachusetts. Senator Teller of Col
orado had concluded for the day his
argument against the enactment of the
pending PHILIPPINE tariff bill.
In response to some statements he
had made, Senator Plat directed the
senate's attention to the situation in the
islands, as he viewed 1t, maintaining
that great progress was being made by
the government in subduing the insur-
rection. He referred to the elections
for municipal offices in the various
cities of the islands, and to the estab-
lishment of schools for the education of
the Filipino children.
Senator Hoar ridiculed the statements
of Senator Plat, and in a facetious vein
adverted to the efforts of the American
government to control the Filipino peo-
pie.
The remarks of the Massachusetts
senator aroused Senator Plat, who de-
livered a notable speech in the course
of which he referred to Senator Hoar
in pretty sharp terms. His speech was
listened to by the senators OF both sides
of the chamber with profound attention.
In conclusion, he paid an eloquent trib-
ute to the efforts of the United States
to carry the principles of free govern
ment to every territory where it had
control.
In reply. Senator Hoar delivered IN
incisive criticism of the action of the
Philippine commission. declaring he
had been taught to judge men rather
by their actions than by their words,
and by this standard he could not judge
the Philippine commissioners with any
degree of favor.
The senate passed a joint resolution
submitting a constitutional amendment
changing the time of the presidential
inaugurations and termination and
commencement of congresses from
March 4 to the last Thursday in April.

DUAL ALLIANCE FOR EAST.
Move Originates in Boxer Troubles
and is Designed to Maintain
Integrity of China.

London, Feb. 12.-An important par
llamentary paper was issued tonight
giving the terms of the alliance be-
tween Great Britain and Japan for the
preservation of China and Corea. The
paper covers a dispatch sent by Lord
Lansdowne, secretary of state for for
eign affairs. on Jan 80 to the British
minister at Toxic, and comprises Il
signed copy of tie agreement.
In explanation, the paper says the
agreement may be regarded as the out
come of the events ofth past two years.
throughout the Boxer troubles, Great
Britain end Japan have been in close
n uninterrupted communication and
have Teen actuated by similar views.
We each DESIRE says Lord Lans-
downc, that the integrity and inde-
pendence of the Chinese empire should
De preserved and that there should be
no disturbance of the territorial status
quo, either in China or the adjoining
regions"
Lord ~I4ansdowne says the British
government was largely influenced in
entering upon this important contract
by the conviction that it contains no
provisions which can be regarded as
aggressive or self-seeking. He says il
is concluded merely as a measur OF
precaution and in no way threatens
the present position or the legitimate
interest of other powers.
The secret was so well kept that the
paper, issued after parliament had adj
j%ourned for the night. announcing the
first important alliance between the
western and yellow or Asian race,
comes as a startling surprise to the
public and although the idea of an al
lance with Japan is likely to meet
with great approval, the outcome of
the sensational departure will be an
tioipated with no little anxiety. 1t is
regarded as a direct move against Rus
STA, and to explain the abandonment Of
the cUlony OF Wei-Hai-Wei.
