couraging.
Emperor is Pessimistic and Says Rev
enue from Various Sources Not
What was Expected.
Urges the Necessitp of Repressive
Measure Against Agitation in
the Polish Districts.

Berlin, Jan. 9.-The speech from the
throne, read by the imperial chancel-
lor, Count Won Vuelow, at the opening
of the Prussian diet, took a gloomy
view of the economic situation. It
pointed out that the revenue from the
state railroads in 1901 fell ,considera
bly, short of the estimates and that the
whole results of the financial year
were disappointing.
In the budget for 1902 the revenue
is estimated below that of the current
year; but the balance between the
revenue and the expenditure is to be
maintained without having recourse
to loan.
The speech announced plans for
legislation providing for the housing
of state workmen and of officials earn
ing small salaries.
Considerable credits are demanded
and the promotion and construction of
light railroads.

system of waterways will be submit

| the agitation in the Polish districts of
Eastern Prussia, declaring that the
upholding of the political and econom-
| ic position of the German element
| there was necessary for the self pres
ervation of Prussia and promised that
the government would fulfill it's duty
in cultivating the German national
spirit in that region and in combating
with flrmness all tendencies hostile to
| the state. In this course the govern
ment counted on the support of the
German population of East Prussia, as
| we'll as on the assistance of the whole
nation, which regarded any attempt to
drive out the German language as an
attack on it's national honor and dig
nifty.
The reichstag reassembled during
4 the day after the Christmas recess
with a rather slim attendance and the
| discussion of the estimates began. The
| statement of financial conditions by
Baron Won Thielmann, secretary Of
| state for the treasury, was even more
pessimistic on the subject of the de-
clining trade of Germany than were
his earlier utterances in that connec-
tion.
MY former references said Baron
Won Thielmann, ito our financial posi-
tion, which were regarded in many
quarters as pessimistic, have been con-
firmed. Affairs have been even more

WANT IMMEDIATE RELIEF.
cubans viii Plead With the House
Ways and Means Committee.

cubans viii Plead With the House
Ways and Means Committee.
Washington, Jan. 9.-The hearings
which will soon begin before the house
ways and means committee on the
question of proposed tariff concessions
to Cuba for her sugar, tobacco and
other products are expected to bring
out an interesting discussion.
The committee will hear both the
Cubans who favor the concession and
those who oppose it, in the name of the
beet sugar growers. the American Beet
Sugar company, which is corporation
of refners, and the cane sugar growers
of Louisiana and Texas.
The Cubans base their petition to
congress upon two propositions:
First-The United States is under
moral obligations to aid Cuba in the
re-establishment of prosperity in the
islands, so far as aid can be given
without injury to American industry.
Second-The commerce and indus
try of Cuba are in imminent danger of
disaster if aid is not given imme-
diately. ~ -.
In the petition the recommends
tions of President Roosevelt and the
secretary of war are quoted to show
the necessity for the proposed legisla-
tion ~
The urgency of immediate relief is
set forth at length to support the plea
for the passage of a special act, as it
will be impossible, it is claimed, to ar
range reciprocity before February,
1908.

Dozen Men Undoubtedly Perished at
A,5. Neqaunee, Mich.

Negaunee, Mich.
+ Negaunee, Mich, Jan. 9.-The situa-
tion is practically unchanged at the
Negaunee mine, where several men are
entombed. The rescuers accomplished
nothing during the night, as it was i'm
possible to get to the drift where the
men are. The pumps in the old por-
tion of the mine are disabled and the
drift is rapidly filling with water.
Officials of the mine now say there
are at least 10 men and possibly IL
underground. The exact number can
not be ascertained until the ones who
escaped report to the Office.
General Manager T. r. Cole of the
United States Steel corporation ar
rived in the city by special train and
he is now at the mine assisting other
officials in formulating plans to re-
cover the bodies. Men were at work
all night putting in additional pumps,
with a view of reducing the water in
the drift where the men are entombed,
and if possible to prevent the mine
from flooding. .>

INCREASED ATTENDANCE.
Second Days Session of the Grain
Growers Convention.

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 9.-TAe attend
ance at the second days session of the
grain growers convention was in
creased by the arrival of several hun
dred Northwestern farmers. The rou-
tine proceedings are intensely inter
esting. Professor D. A. Saunders of
the South Dakota Agricultural college
made an address on macaroni wheat.
He treated the subject from a historic
and analytical standpoint and showed
the great advantage of the grain in
many respects.
J. E. Phelan, ex-secretary of the rail-
road commission, discussed finishing
live stock for the Eastern markets and
gave his experience, gained in years of
cattle raising, and brought out many
facts of interest. Professor J. H. Shep-
perd of the North Dakota agricultural
college, followed with an interesting
paper on corn raising in connection
with cattle and demonstrated the folly
of attempting to feed and make money
out OF scrub stock.

"True, it was not" replied Mr..

cause he believed the wishes of her
majesty's representative in the cabi-
net would prevail we opposed the bill. -
Mr.. Lowering (Mass.), also a mem
ber of the committee that reported the
bill. who followed Mr.. Shaclleford.
said that in the past he had favored
the Nicaraguan route, but he had sat
isfied himself that the recent offer of
the Panama Canal company was made
in good faith and he now favored that
route -. 49,
Mr.. Morris (Minn.), who offered the
amendment to leave the selection of
the route to the president, said it was
his purpose to insure the selection of
the best route. Heretofore he believ-
ed the Panama proposition had been
used solely for delay, but since read
ing the commissions report he was
unable to reach conclusion as to
which was the better route. Before
embarking on an expenditure of $780,,
100000 he thought experts should con.
slider the recent offer of the Panama
company. ~
Mr.. Parker IN. j., argued that the
question of routes should be deter
mined by the executive. He made q
comparison of the two routes, using
the data compiled by the commission
contending that the Panama route ha6
many advantages over the Nicaragua
route.
Mr.. Hill (Conn.) said he would vote
for the Morris amendment.
