tice of his appointment as assistant
attorney general in the Spanish
American war claims matters, and in
communication Knox informs him the

The amount named decided Campbell
not to accept the tender, as he does not
believe it to be worth while to go to
Washington for that amount.

Scranton, Pa, March 10.-William j.
Bryan, who lectured here, was asked
whom he considered a democratic pres
idential possibility. He said:
mo one can tell in advance what the
issues will be or what will be their rela-
tive Importance. 1t ought to be safe to
predict that democratic principles will
be applied to the issues, and it ought to
be that the platform should be written

the movement in congress to strength
en- the interstate commrce act. No
subject of such great Importance has
been before the legislature. The bill
known as the Nelson-Corlis measure
is the one referred to, but the general
principle, rather than the bill, was en-
dorsed. Senator Trewin referred to
il 9 fact that he had letter from Lar
rabee cordially endorsing the measure.
In that letter he said:
mo one can read the reports of the
commission without coming to the con-
clusion that the law should be amended
and no measure can be proposed that
will meet a heartier support of the
general assembly of Iowa people,
The bill to give to farmers institutes
a representative each in the state agri-
cultural convention and voice in the
naming of the directors of the state
fair will certainly be a great stimulus
to these institutions. 1t has been re-
ported favorably by the house agri-
cultural committee.
The senate does not meet until to-
morrow morning. The manner in
which an adjournment over Monday
was effected illustrates the difficulty of
keeping track of all the fine points OF
procedure. The senate continued in
session until 12:45 Saturday. At 1920
a motion to fix the time of reassemb-
ling at $50 Tuesday morning, instead
of Monday morning was lost. The op-
porents of adjournment began to slip
~, oIj
remained. Finally motion was made
to adjourn to 9:45 Tuesday. A point
of order was raised that it had been
voted on, but the point was not good,
for the previous motion was for y: 80,
the regular time of meeting. The mo-
ton was voted down. A moment later
a motion was UP to adjourn to 8: 10
Tuesday Division was called for and
8 We're for it and s against. The chair
declared it carried and the senate ad-
journed. If the minority had raised
the point of no quorum the adjourn
ment to the irregular date would have
been beaten, or if the point had been
raised that a two thirds vote is neces-
sary to change q standing rule. the adj
journers would have lost, but nobody
thought of these things. Thus SEN
ators proved stronger at 12:45 o'clock
than 80 half hour before.
The house held a session this morn
ing and disposed of minor matters. The
bill to provide for the appointment of
water works trustees by mayors of
cities was passed; also the bill to make
taxes on property in the hands of a re-
ceiver lien thereon, and the bill to
provide county surveyors with an Of
fee and supplies. A bill to make it un-
lawful to tap wires and gas mains was
defeated.

For the Starving, Homeless, Terror
Stricken Thousands In Martin
ilue and Other Islands.

For the past few days the people of
Poro Rico have stood appalled, at the
hor.o Of the deisaster in Martinique.
AS the reports keep coming in, they
show that the extent of the catastrophe
is greater. rather than less, than was
frs! thu1ght. We in Porto Rico can
readily reallze the suffering and terror
of it all, for we, too, have felt the fury
of the e,er1ents.
But tbs is not the time to mourn; II
is the t1n-e to act. Thousands OF fellow
human beings are starving, homeless
and unable to escape from the amfulness
of their surroundings.
These people need, not sympathy
but BREAD. They need assistance as
it was never needed before.
Other islands are Fastening wish
heep and food. Porto Rico must also
send assistance.
Here is no time to plead. Here is
no tins canvass for subscriptions
What relief comes, t. be of the most
service must come spontaneously and
at once. 1t must come in quantities be
it food or medicine or money. This is a
case for the government, for municipal
ities for merchants for wealthy persons
to move in.

Khabarofsk. The Cathedral.

A despatch received in New York
from khabarofsk, Siberia says: Close
your eyes to the cathedral. the Cover
nor's palace, the barracks, and the Uni
forms, and you might easily imagine
yourself IN Western mushroom town
in the days before the slean sawmill
became omnipresent The plank walks
which run in front Of the houses are in
various states of repair and decay The
streets are either throwing off clouds
of dust, hardened into ruts, or a por-
ridge somewhere from felly to axle
deep. When it rains it pour; and
when the sunt it out, it shines 6ercely.
Everything being of wood and unpaint.
ed, it appears to BE- either garingly
new and unfinished, or else premature
ly old. You remark that youth and
decay go hand in hand, as foreigner
does when, fresh from a land of stone
and brick, he first sees a dilapidated,
weather-beaten building beside one res
plendeat- in a new coat of paint in one
of our own villages.
That cathedral, however, with its
grisly yard unad orned by trees, lifting
up its big, folmleSs white mass to sup,
port the blue dome and Dinarets which
raise the cross mot the crescent. as
y.u hall expect when you look aloft-
above all surrounding objects, brings

all that her militant Church ands for.
No settlement is too small to have a
place of worship as much out of keep
ing with its size as the New York Post
Office would be in town of 2oooo
people. Near by is a big wooden arch
over the road from the station to the
boat-landing. The Car, when he made
his journey across Siberia, passed under
it, as he did under scores of others.
from the ornate ones, which were the
pride of frontier capitals to two uprights
with a croSspiece, entwined in fir-boughs
at some Cossack outpost of dozen
houses that witnesses the passing of
the steamers in summer and dwells in
the stiffness of frozen river and snowy
fields through the long winter. The
Khabarofsk arch is allowed to 90 the
way of decay as surely as the shacks of

ernor seems to have done little with his
power to dispatch the debris
of shiftlessness, which is as much in
evidence here, without the accompany
ing industry, as in new town where
a common council holds away, and
acknowledgements never minds where
the shavings fall SO the board is planed.
In view of the location and age of
the settlement, was surprised to find
that Khabarofsk was SO small. Others
are surprised to find it SO large. After

where brutalvisaged soldiers were pas
