Ohio, few years after the revolution.
Is the scene of Burton Il, Stevenson
new novel. "The Heritage" The hero
takes part In st, Clares unsuccessful
expedition against the Indians, is taken
prisoner and held captive for three
years, but escapes and afterwards joins
Gen. Wayne in the victorious attack at
Fallen Timbers. On returning wound
ed from his success on the frontier, the
hero finds another success awaiting him
that was unexpected, and therefore all
the more gratifying. Ii is a good sto-
ry, full OF excitement and well told.
An interesting coincidence in THE
Heritage" Is that like his earlier book,
"A Soldier of Virginia. 1t describes a
campaign which ended in defeat. The
older book centres about the disastrous
expedition under Braddock, which re-
suited In the first great massacre OF
regular troops ever achieved by the
Indians. One Of the prominent incl
dents in THE Heritage is the Ohio
campaign under Gen. Arthur ST. Clair,
also ending In a rout and massacre
strlkingly like the one that took place
on the bank of the M0nogahela thirty
five years before. Gen. st. Clair Is
man, whose defeat was due not SO
much TO any fault of his, as to the
blindness and remissness of his superb
ors at the national capital, and to the
carelessness Of two of his subordinate
officers.

shrewd, vigorous, rcsolute monarch
who got mp early in the morning, and
made things hum all day. Queen Vie
toria's eldest son and heir was never
held TO be feeble, but he was thought
to be rather frivolous and sclf-indul-

course he couldn't do much harm 10

diplomatic corps. 1t was the first formal

representation of the diplomatic corps

and elaborate. There was a delicate drap-
ing of the immense chandeliers in the
east room with wealth of smilaX, the
immense mirrors were banked with roses
carnations, hyacinths and lilies Of the
valley, while in the large recesses around
the room there were large jars of varie-
gated crotons.
The ceiling, pillars and other portions
of the room were beautifully decorated.
In the large red, blue and green par1ors
the floral display was simple in character,
being confined to a few growing plants
and cut flowers.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt received
their guests in the blue room. Their en-
trance was announced by a fanfare of
trumpets by members of the United
States Engineer band stationed in the
long corridor. Assisting the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt were Mrs. Root, Mrs.
Knox, Mrs Smith, Mrs. Hitchcock and
Miss Wilson.
President Roosevelt gave every visitor
hearty handclasp and cordial well
come, while Mrs. Roosevelt, though re-
framing from grasping the hands of Wis
itors generally, was charmingly gracious
in her manner. She carried large bunch
of white and purple orchids. All the
members of the diplomatic corps wore
the full insignia of their rank which,
with the brilliant uniforms of the army
and navy, and the handsome toilets Of
the ladies, made the scene a memorable
one. The hours of the reception We're from
8 to IL o'clock Music was furnished by
the marine band and the United States
Engineer band.

ton party in the blue room were the

DEBATE CANAL BILL

Morris, of Minnesota, Cuts In ana
Announces His Intention to

BE Accepted.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE debate on
the Nicaragua canal bill in the house
was opened in lively fashion today by
Mr.. Hepburn, chairman of the Interstate
and foreign commerce commission, which
reported the bill For two hours he held
the floor, replying to a volley Of ques-
tons concerning the recent offer of the
Panama Canal company to sell its prop
ETY. and franchises to the United States
for $40 0,OO0
Interest in the debate conferred almost
entirely in this new phase Of the sub
Jeet. Mr.. Hepburn maintained that the
alleged new offer of the Panama conn.,
rpany was part Of the plan of delay. All
his utterances along that line were lib
orally applauded. He pointed out what
he claimed was the suspicious circum-
stance that the Panama company held
ont for $109.00O,000 until it was decided
before the holiday recess to consider the
Nicaragua bill and then suddenly dropped
the price to $4,000, OOO
Mr.. Morris (Minn.) gave notice that at
the proper time he would offer an amend
ment to authorize the president if he
could procure the property and rights
OF the Panama company for $40, 000 coo, if
concessions could be procured from CO.
lomb1a, and if the Walker commission so
recommended, to purchase and proceed to
complete the Panama canal The other
speakers today were Messrs Davis
(t4a.), Richardson (AIa.) Mann OLD and
Adams (Pa.).

RATES
ARE MAKING rs PER CENT CUT
Shippers Claim Freight CnAnOt BE
Moved at TariH-Weak
Lines Come to the
Rescue.

Tt is understood that the Western roads
have broken their first New Years reso-
luton, which was ito maintain rates
1t Is reported on good authority that one
Of the Western roads yesterday agreed
to accept west-bound freight at a cut Of
Is per cent off the regular published tar
ifs. 1t is somewhat unusual to have
rates demoralized so early in the year,
but it is claimed that conditions are such
that freight cannot be moved unless some
concessions in rates are made.
The trouble III comes from shippers
being educated UP during the summer
months to low rates, and their purchases
and sales are based on these rates, and
if there comes a time when they cannot
get these concessions they mold off ship
ping until some so-called weak line comes
to the rescue and names them a rate
that Will take the business, always, of
course with the verbal understanding
that the line will secure all the business.
Then when the strong lines find that ship
mentS are being moved against them,
they get into the market with a rate
that will influence business VIA their rails,
and so it goes until the bottom is reach
ed, and many times the roads pay more
out in refunds for business than they
secure from the consignees for hauling it.
A merry war is looked for from now on,
and the man who pays tariff for his
freight will certainly be looked upon as
one Of the wonders of the age.

toward maintaining tariff rates on pack
