First Corners in March.

Two hundred thousand homeseekers
will invade the northwestern states in
1902. This estimate is regarded as conser-
yat1ve by railway men, who are preparing
to handle the crowds.
1t is estimated that $50 900 homeseekers
came into the northwest last year. There
is every indication that the movement
this year will be from 80 to IS per cent
greater than in 1901. Men who are in

immigration this year will come from
the same territory that northwestern rail-
been cultivating since 1890 and from which
the first important results came in about
1894. This includes the states of Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, southern Michi-
gan, Illinois, Iowa. Kansas and Nebraska.
The northwest is meeting with keener
competition than ever from the south
west this year in its immigration cam
paign. Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas
are making a strong bid for immigration
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa. Kansas and Nebraska are also
making a much more thorough canvass
than in any previous year.
In the big movement of last year railway

men estimate that the coast states secured
the larger portion of immigration. Ger
tain conditions operated in their favor
more than in any previous year.
1t is believed that the conditions this
year will favor the states of Mime
sofa, North and South Dakota, more
than ever and that the larger part Of
the movement will go into that part Of
the northwest. There is great activity
among the land companies interested in
those states. Large tracts of railway
land hitherto not offered for sale are on
the market. In addition to the work
done by the railroads. numerous land
companies have agents in various states
working up immigration and all hands are
doing an immense amount of advertising.
Kansas City reports that the 1901 move
ment into Oklahoma and other sections
of the southwest showed a much greater
gain than immigration into the north
west or any other section Of the coun-
try. Both sections are going in for big
record in 1902. The first big excursion
into the northwest will begin early in
March. The Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and 500 are completing prepara-
tions for handling it. In spite of the
agitation for higher land seekers rate
which has been going on for some months.
the rates this year into the northwest are
on as liberal basis as ever, which is
exerting favorable influence.

Probable Action in the Case
of Judge Noyes.
WASHINGTON CHARGES
Considered independently Of Cali

MOVES MUST LEAVE THE BENCH
Not Yet Determined Whether He
Will Be removed or Allowed
to Resign.
row YORK. Sur, sDscEaJ SERVICE.

Washington, Jan. attorney General
Knox has received unofficial information
of the action of the circuit court Of ap-
peals in San Francisco In imposing fine
of 81 700 on Judge Noyes of the district
court of Alaska and sentencing other Off
cials of the court to Jail. He said to a
reporter that the charges now on file
against Judge Noyes in the department Of
Justice would be considered without ref
erence to the Judgment Of the circuit
court. The testimony submitted to the
court in San Francisco lis before the at
torney general however, and it will be
considered with the charges filed by the
individuals in the department of justice.
1t is certain that Judge Noyes will be
relieved from the Alaska bench, but
whether he will be surnmarily removed
or allowed to resign has not been deter
mined. The attorney general and the
president were satisfied some time ago
that the usefulness Of Judge Moves at
Nome was ended and that his return to
the bench there was out OF the question.
Strong representations have recently been
made to the department Of justice that
the people Of northwestern Alaska are
unanimous in their condemnation Of the
judge and the inhuential$ friends of Noyes
in Minnesota, from which state he was
appointed, have been told that it is i'm
practicable to allow him tosreturn to his
post at Nome.

TAXPAYERS PATIENT
Illusory Hopes Indulsed by the
Burghers.

BurEhers.
Ne,c YorIs San, Special Service
London, Jan. 7.-Dispatches from the
continent prove that the Boer leaders
are hoping for revolt of British tax
payers against the burdens of the war
These expectations are illusory. The
taxpayers are even more logged than
Lord kitchener's soldiers. They are en-
during with marvellous patience the bur-
dens Of a war which has been clumsily
financed. Boer leaders profess to be en-
5coursged by the result Of the missionary
efforts Of the various speakers who have
addressed PUBLIC meetings in America.
Members OF parliament do not approve
the idea Of sending English speakers to
America to offset Boer oratory. They
assert that the facts about the concen-
tration camps will be fully brought out
in the blue books as soon as parliament
meets and that the representative wom-
ems company, headed by Mrs. Fawcett,
will vindicate their reputation for hui
manity.

Governor Jelks is the logical candi- date of the Democratic party for a sec ond term" said an observant public man yesterday.

Governor Johnston has announced that he will not sacrifice himself, and 1t is we'll under stood that Col. F. L. Russell of Mobile. Hon. Jesse Stallings of Greenville, Gen. C. M. Shelley of Bir mingham and Judge J. J. Mitchell of Florence have declined to permit Governor Johnston to use their names as prospective candidates. I have heard that Gen. W. C. Oates of Mont gomery, George F. Jones of Florence and A. H. Merrill of Eufaula have also been approached on the subject and they have declared they would not consent to run. Hon. E. A. O'Neal of Florence was men, tioned as gubernatorial timber, but his friends declare he is friendly to Governor Jelks and will not be a candidate. Gen. George F. Harrison of Opelika claims he the past few days several of his closest friends have assured me he will not be a candidate.

CREAM OF THE SPECIALS

General Grosvenor of the Ways and Means Committee had a conversation with the President, and he said to them what he said to General Henderson and Mir. Dalzell on Saturday. He pointed out to them various reasons that had been presented to him., and which may or may not have been brought forcibiy to the attention of the members of the Ways and Means Committee why the United States government is In duty bound to fulfill It's moral and political obligations to Cuba regardless of the ef- feet that such action may have upon the beet sugar industry of a few States
 The President pointed out that there are considerations involved other than those regarding the possible effect of a reduc- ton of the tarin schedules, and repeated the argument as to Cuba being the adopted child of the United States with a right to claim her protection and as- sistance. The problem of dealing with Cuba will become more serious as the time approaches for turning the island over to the independent government of her own people and the United States government is determined to do the right thing even though somebody's pocket may be injuriously affected.
 Whether this will be the result of the policy of liberality and good faith is doubtfui, but, however that may be. the President intends that the policy shall be carried out.

THE rSTHMIAN CANAL AND
 SENATOR MORGAN.

The friends of a canal across the American Isthmus to be constructed and operated by our government, have reason to congratulate themselves upon the present outlook. The prospects were never so bright as they are today; and for this outlook the country is indebted chiefly to Senator Morgan, the most con- spicuous, ablest and most earnest ad- vocate of what is to be undoubtedly the greatest scheme ever undertaken by the government. To appreciate the great work Senator Morgan has done a brief retrospect will help us.
 A French Company, organized in 1879, seriously set about the work of building canal across the Isthmus of Panama in 1880. De Lesseps. the great engineer who built the Suez Canal, was at the head of the enterprise. Under his direc- tion the selection of the route had been made Many difficulties were encounter ed in the construction of the canal and after much extravaganza and fraud in its management the original company failed in 1894, having accomplished very little for the money that had been expended. In 1894 the property passed into the hands of the new Panama Canal Company, which has since been going on with the work, most of the time having, up to the present date, from 2,00O to 5000 men em- ployed~ All together, some $24O,0OO.OOO have been made away with, chiefly by the old company. and the new company is now in the hands of liquidator, ap- pointed by a French court.
 Our people have long desired water way across the Isthmus. In 1889 the Maritime Canal Company was chartered by Congress to construct canal along what was known as the Nicaragua route. it appearing at that time very doubtful whether the Panama Canal would ever be built by the French Company. Sena- tor Morgan was the prime mover in the incorporation of the Maritime Canal Com pany. It shortly became apparent that this company would never be able to raise the money with which to carry out its purpose. Then the movement began in Congress, headed by Senator Morgan. to consider an Isthmian canal as a gov ernment enterprise. The preoccupation of the Isthmus of Panama by the French men excluded that route from considera- ton by our government, and the Nicara- qua route was of necessity chosen for investigation. At least twice. perhaps three times, has Senator Morgan sue oeeded in passing through the Senate d bill to construct a government canal by that route. Growing out of these ct-

sTARvEs CANCER OUT.
pr. Dawbarn Wins the Gross Prize of $1,000 for His Daring
 Treatment.

New York Journal.
 For a heroic surgical treatment of can- Ger Dr. Robert H. M. Dawbarn, visiting | surgeon to the City and the Polyclinic Hospitals, has been awarded the Sam uel D. Gross prize of $l.000. The prize Is awarded by the Philadel- i phia Academy of Surgery. which is trus- tee for the fund.
 The victory represents the work of seven years of careful study. Dr. Dawbarn has found an operation for malignant cancerous growths in the
 head, where such growths cannot be cut out.
 The carotid arteries convey the main blood supply to the head. The main caro- tids divide in the neck into branches. The operation consists in cutting out the right sides of the neck, thus depriving all of the head save the brain and eyes of the main supply of blood. The opera ton Is one which a few years ago would now is entirely practicable.
 The cutting off of the blood supply not only stops the growth of the cancer, but, by continued deprivation of nutri- ment, causes the gradual but steady les sening of the growth.
 This heroic treatment has been as suc- cessful as 1t Is daring. The first person operated upon by Dr. Dawbarn went un- malignant growth of the pharynx. He is now in good health and able to attend to business every day.
 It Is said that if this plan of treatment had been known at the time of General Grants last illness the life of that illus trious soldier might have been greatly prolonged and his sufferings much les sened Many other cases are cited in this treatise, which will soon be published.
 The committee which passed on the work of the competitors for the prize comprised Professors Keen and Da Costa and W. J. Taylor of the University of Pennsylvania and the Jefferson Medical College Samuel D. Gross, the gtver of the prize fund, was one of the most prominent surgeons in this country. He was born on July 8, 1905, and died in Philadelphia on May 6, 1884. In recogni- ton of his emfnence in his profession heroic bronze statue was built in Wash ington in 1897 by the physicians and sur geons of this country.
 pr. Robert H. M. Dawbarn lives at 1o5 West Seventy-fourth Street. He was graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of this city in 1881. He Is a member of the American Medical As sociation, the New York State Medical Association and the State and County Medical Societies.
