FEELING at the White House.

The feeling at the White House today as
to the condition OF Theodore Roosevelt, jr.
was not so encoura ging. The bulletin an
nouncing that both lungs were affected
caused a depression in the feelings of the
Roosevelt family who are here. The fol-
lowing bulletin was announced by Assistant
Secretary Loeb. who i in charge Of affairs
in the absence of Secretary CorteIyou:
Pneumonia has gone t. the other lung.
Temperature has risen and the respiration
is not quite so favorable, though pulse is d
little better. There is no ImBle date dam

Frequent inquiries were made at the
These came by telegraph. telephone and
from personal callers. Many people went
to the White House during the day and
made inquiries, at the same time express
ing the most earnest hope that the oldest
son of the President should take turn for
the better and steadily improve afterward.
Miss Alice Roosevelt, who remains In
Washington, has received number of let
ters, kilograms and messages of sympathy.
In fact, the entire country seems to be
grieved at the serious Illness of the bright
young son of President and Mrs. Roosevelt.
There is not the least idea at the White
House when the President will return. Ii
is not believed that he Will leave Groton
until the crisis has been passed This would
keep him there until past the middle of the

with the pressing executive business Of the

New Elevator Being Installed.

An electric elevator is now being in

For twenty years the entire force Of the

one car, which was situated In the south
east corner Of the building, and which
was entirely inadequate to the demands
made upon it. This second car is expected
to prove Of great practical benefit to pat

GERMAN GRAIN IMPORTS.
Farms of the Empire Unable to Supply
the People.

Unusual attention has been attracted in
Germany to the official statistics of cereal
importations into the empire during 1901,
which were just recently published, by rea-
son of their direct and eloquent bearing
upon the pending question of increased du-
ties on imported breadstuffs. So states
United States Consul General Frank Mason
at Berlin. in a report to the Department of
State. bearing date of January 10. From
the statistics for the past three years, it
appears that in the case of each of the
grains except barley, the excess of imports
over exports is increasing annually.
The conclusion is inevitable therefore
says the consul general, that German agri-
culture. under present conditions of tillage,
falls short of being able to supply the peo-
pie with breadstuffs. and that the importa-
tion of cereals increases about in propor-
ton to the growth of population in the
empire.
Mr.. Mason points out that the import
tarif of Germany was arranged to- favor
the milling interests of the country, and
therefore promotes the Importation of
grain. rather than -four, so that neither
American nor Austro- Hungarian flour has
been able to gain more than a nominal
foothold in the German market.

i'm FRIENDLY SPIRIT
PROGRESS OF NEGOTIATIONS
WITH RUSSIA.
The Government Points Out With En-
ergy Our Rights in Manchuria En-
dangered by Secret Agreement.

Negotiations between the United States
government and the government of Russia
relative to Manchurfa are progressing with
the exhibition of a great deal Of energy on
our part, though it Is the fact that the ex-
changes are in the friendliest spirit The
attitude Of the Russian government in this
matter has shifted materially since the be-
ginning Of the negotia tions. In the first
place, a treaty was drawn up between Rus
sia and China providing for the evacua-
tion Of Manchuria by the Russian troops,
who have been in military possession of
the country since the early days of the
Boxer outbreak. This treaty contained a
great many rather complex guarantees in
Russia's favor, but a singularly objection
able proviso was one placing the Russo
Chinese Bank in practical control of the
commercial and material interests of Man
churia. 1t was quickly perceived that the,
provision, If executed, would practically
exclude Americans from competition in
Manchuria, which is particularly valuable
as a market for manufactured cottons
Therefore, Russias attention was directed
to our existing rights under treaty with
China. and also TO her own promises made
directly to the United States government
during the early days Of the Russian occu-
patton of Manchuria.
Apparently our representations were eff
fectual, for the Objectionable proviso
drawn from the treaty, and that convention
save in some minor respects, was regarded
unobjectionable. However, it has been
discovered that the Russian government
following a practice known In European
diplomacy, had drawn up a secret agree
ment with China, comforting upon the
Russo Chinese Bank all of the powers con-
tanned in the original treaty proviso. There
fore the United States government has re-
newed its objections, not only addressing it
self to the Russian government, but maxi
ing very strong protest to the government
of China. 1t is expressly declared that in
so doing our government had acted inde-
pendently, though it is,a matter of common
knowledge that other great commercial
powers whose interests IN Manchuria are al
most as considerable as our own, have ad-
dressed similar representations to both
China and Russia. This is the present
state of the negotiations. which are being
mainly conducted IN Pekin and St Peters
burg, and, as before Indicated, with the
greatest courtesy and good will on all

FIRE IN CHICAGO THEATER.
The orpheum Damaged to the Extent
of $4,000.

CHICAGO, February Io.-The 0rpheum
theater in Washington street. opposite the
city hall, was damaged by fire this morn
ing to the extent OF $4,000.
Two scrub-women who were working in
the theater, have not been accounted for
and it is feared both perished.
Three attaches Of the theater and two
hotel walters were rescued by firemen
when they had been nearly overcome by
smoke. This is the third time inside Of
six months that the theater has been on
fire.
Belief that the fire was OF incendiary
origin was further strengthened today. Az
ter the fire firemen exploring the basement
discovered two gas jets, the tips of which
had been removed, spouting flames three
feet high. The flames were thirty feet
apart, and one had eaten into a wooden
beam. Assistant Fire Marshal Campion
said today that when the fire department
was called last night flames were discov-
cred in three different parts OF the build
ing at one time. The discovery OF the gas
Jets, the assistant marshal says, shows that
the incendiary attack was made in fonr
places. The two women reported missing
have been accounted for.

Interior Department Library.

By the operation of the legislative and
judicial appropriation act, as it has passed
the House and is now to go before the
Senate, the general library Of the Interior
Department is to be abolished and its 25,-
600 volumes transferred to the Public
Library Of the District of Columbia. The
act provides that this change shall occur
at the end Of the current fiscal year. Out
OF the whole number Of books the only
ones not to go to the public library are a
few volumes on technical subjects and
needed books OF reference
Should the appropriation bill pass the
Senate as framed by the House the space
now occupied by the library-two large
rooms on the first floor-win probably be
allotted as desk space to one Of the ex-
aminers of the patent office Mrs. Mary
Fuller. the acting librarian, and her as
slstants are clerks assigned to special duty
with the books and will. Of course. be
transferred to duty elsewhere in the de-
