Lung Passed.

Groton. Mass. February 1.-THE
reports from the sick room Of
Theodore Roosevelt. Jr.. the eldest son
OF the president. who since Thursday
last. has been III with peumonia at the
Groton school inffrmary tended to show
an improvement and at 8 o'clock to-
night his condition was authoritativeiy
stated to be better than IL was at the
same time last night
The crisis OF the disease Is still to
come and Is looked for within the next
twenty-four or thirtv-six hours.
The president and his wife both be-
lieve their son will meet this crisis IN
good condition and. passing it success
fully. Viii recover In fact the siignt
favorable turn In the disease to5ay has
greatly relieved the strain on both of
them and the day closed much more
hopefully than yesterday.
Secretary Long called on the president
today. After leaving Mr.. Long said
frankly that the boy was better and
that both the President and his wife
were much encouraged. He said that
no plan had been made for the presi-
dents departure. He said both Lae
president and Mrs. Roosevelt were
much worn and worried, but otherwise

The last sick room bulletin for the
day was given out at II O'Clock tonight.
Mr.. Cortelyou said that at this tir'e
every indica ton was for a favorable
night for the boy: but the fever had
fiuctua;ed somewhat and IL was lmpus-
sible to tell just when the crisis would
come. although 1t was looked for dur
ing Wednesday.
The crisis. which in the left lung has
been successfully passed. is still to be
met in the right lung A symptom OF
pleurisy has been noted In this lung.
While this has given rise to some fear
that the disease may yet develop into
pleuro-pneumonia. there are strong
hopes that the threatened complication
may be overcome.
An interesting event Of the day WAS
the receipt of a telegram from Ambas-
sador Pauncefote at Washington. con-
veying King Edwards expression OF
sympathy for the president and hope
for the speedy recovery OF his SON.

tween the Witness and Senator
ternatiOnal Treaties.

Washington, February 11-Former
United States Senator Samuel Pasco,
now a member of the isthmian canal
commission, testified before the senate
committee on nter-ocaanic canals today
that he had carefully considered the
proposition made by the new Panama
Canal Company for the sale Of the Pan
anna canal rights and that he was fully
convinced that under the French laws
and the usage of the French courts it
had a valid title to the franchise and
right of way to the, canal and could,
therefore, make a transfer to the Unit
ed States which would hold in law. He
liquidator of the old Panama Company
with the new should he accepted as a
proper guarantee from that company
as to it's position, and he held the opin-
ion that no apprehension need be felt
on that score.
He expressed the further opinion that
any trouble that might arise over the
right Of way would be encountereo in
dealing with any Central American gov
ernment, but said that this trouble is as
Costa Rica in connection with the Mic
aragua route as with Colombia in deal
ing with the Panama route.
In reply to questions, Mr.. Pasco said
he understood that there are now two
gentleman in the city from Colombia tG
aid the minister of that country in
granting the necessary concessions
for the construction of the Panama
canal by the United States.
Mr.. PaSco was questioned at length
by Senator Morgan as to the effect of
the various treaties between the Unit
the canal and also as to the bearing of
transfer, the result bel e that Mr.. Pasco
and Senator Morgan disagreed squarely
on most of those points.
Senator Morgan also sought to bring
out the fact that a concession of only
ninety-nine years in the way of lease,
such as has been given to the Panama
Company by the Colombian government.
would not be sufficient to meet the de-
mands of the United STAGES in case the
proffer of sale on the part of the Pana-
ma Company should be accepted by this
country and Mr.. PaSco agreed with him
on that point, adding his opinion that a
concession in perpetuity could be Sc
cured from Colombia.
Mr.. Pasco assented to a suggestion
made by Senator Foster of Louisiana.
that an investiga ton of title in France
might be necessary in case the purchase
should be decided upon, but added tina t
such an inquiry would not be serious

THE BURNING VESSEL.
TIE Schooner Mary Graham-Rescue
OF the Crew.

New York, February 1.-THE schoon-
er which was burned to the water edge
off a point near Cape May last night
was the Mary Graham, from Norfolk to
New York, and the crew reached here
safely this afternoon. They were pick
ed up by the schooner J. c. Clifford.
Captain F. H. Medley and five seamen
composed the crew of the Graham. She
was a two master which left Norfolk
Va, three weeks ago yesterday with
1S7. 900 feet of pine lumber. consigned to
a New York firm.
From Captain Medley the following
facts were gathered:
About $50 o'clock last Saturday
morning the schooner was caught in
the ice which was coming out of the
Delaware river and the captain, fearful
that he would be crushed or the schoon-
er blown ashore. dropped both anchors,
being at that time eight and a half
miles northwest OF Cape May in eight
fathoms of water. The schooner was
leaking and the crew was kept at the
pumps. They suffered terribly from
the cold and the hands Of mate Charles
Anderson and sailor Gus BunsOn were
frGst bitten Plenty of hot coffee re-
duced the mems suffering considerably
Heavy seas were breaking over the
vessel and the Eowsprit was carried
away. Soon afterwards hoth masts
went by the board. Falling over the
sides of the schooner the masts carried
away the only hoat. This left the crew
helpless and their only hope of safety
lay in being picked up by a passing
ship. =
from bow to stern by this time and to
add to the peril the captain found she
was in danger of sinking, being an ola
vessel To tighten her the captain had
about twenty thousand feet of lum ber
thrown overheard.
Despite all Efforts the schooner WAS
settling ra pidly when the J. G. Clifford,
also lumber laden schooner, hove in
sight. This was about 9 o'clock yester-
day morning. The Clifford lay to about
one hundred yards from the Graham
and sent a boat with mate and three
sailors to rescue the crew.
ION account of the ice the small boat
had great di nculty in forcing It's WA /.
through the water and the mate mad
sinking schooner when a sudden change
in the wind made a passage way
through the ice through which the
hardy crew rowed to the Graham.
Seeing that there was no chance Of
saving the vessel. Captain Medley set
fire to it before entering the Clifford's
hnat. In explaining this action he said
that the vessel was over thirty years
old and her hull was in such bad con-
dition he knew she would soon sink

owned by the Greenleaf-Johnson Lum-
Doe c-.'1pany. OF Berkley. near Nor.
