Withdraws From Participation
in Tariff Agreements
Regarding Common Points West
of the Mississippi.
A BIG DROP IN RATES
And a Rude Disturbance of
Traffic Looked For.
Movement of GouIds to Secure
Mountain Business.

Denver, Col, jan 1o.-The Republican
today says:
The freight situation in the trans
Mississippi and Colorado common points
territory is about to be rudely disturbed
once more. The Missouri Pacific has
announced it's withdrawal from all par
ticipation in tariff agreements regard
ing Colorado and Utah.
With the Missouri Pacific out of the
tariff agreement, rates from Mississippi
river points will drop once more with
as much precipitancy as they did during
December.
With the Rio Grande system in It's
control the Missouri Pacific manage
ment can continue its aggressive action
successfully throughout Colorado and
Utah Whether the local freight asso-
citation will be able to block this is
questioned. 1t is considered a move
ment by the Gould people to secure the
bulk of the available traffic of the
Rocky Mountain region.

encouraging contingent totransact busi-
ness with the Republican element who
will get away from that party in 1904.
"It is by no means impossible, not
even improbable, that Democracy, rein
forced by the unorganized but numerous
Populists in every state in the union,
may win the next national election.
There is also plenty of time for many
Republican protestants against unhin-
dered trust operations to declare them
selves untrammeled by party name and
party tradition and flock to the support
of the party that is genuine in the con-
test. There will be many more Repub-
Hcans of the type of Charles A Towne
who will trample prejudice under foot
and go wherever there is a square
chance of winning in the race for good
government.
Let us then debate deliberately, ar
que calmly and afterward say we will
be content to educate without expec-
tation of success at the polls, or we will
go, in such force of numbers as to Gre
ate enthusiasm, into the Democratic prt-
marieS and into the Democratic conven-
ton (not to capture but to co-operate),
and we will take hold of politics with
the vigor and the determination that
wins Victories"

UP To SENATE.
House Passes Hepburn Isthmian
Canal Bill
For Nicaraguan Route by AL
most Unanimous Vote.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The Hepburn
Nicaraguan canal bill passed the house
late Thursday afternoon by practically
a unanimous vote. Only two members
out of 80 voted against it. Messrs.
Fletcher (Rep., Mimi and LaSitter
(Dem., Va.) were the two voting in the
negative. The opposition to committing
the government to the Nicarag guam route
attempted to secure amendments to
lodge with the president the discretion
ary power to purchase and complete the
Panama canal if it could be purchased
for $40,000,000 The test came on the
first vote, when the advocates of an al
tentative route polled 102 against 40
votes. At each succeeding vote their
strength dwindled until Mr.. Cannon,
Qll.) under whose leadership the fight
was made, was unable to get the ayes
and noes on a motion to recommit. All
other amendments failed, and the bill
was passed exactly as it came from the
committee. None of the votes except
that on the final passage Of the bill was
a record vote
Two years ago a similar bill was
passed by a vote of pa to SO. The bill
as passed authorizes the president to
secure from the states of Costa. Rica
and Nicaragua, in behalf of the United
States control of such portion of terri
tory belonging to said states as being
desirable and necessary, on which to
excavate, construct and prospect a ca
nal suitable to the wants of modern
navigation and commerce, and ap-
points such sum as may be necessary
to secure the control of said territory.
Section 2, authorizes the president
after securing control of the needed
territory to direct the secretary of war
to construct such canal from the Carib-
bean sea, at a point near Greytown, in
Nicaragua by way of Lake Nicaragua,
to a point on the Pacific ocean near
Brito and also to construct proper har-
bors at the terminal Of said canal and
to make necessary provisions for the
defense of the canal and harbors.
Sections 3 and 4, authorize the presi-
dent to make such surveys as may be
necessary and to employ such parsons
in constructing the canal as may to him
seem wise, and directs that in the con-
struction of the canal the river San
Juan and Lake Nicaragua shall be used
as far as they are available.
Section 5, authorizes the president to
guarantee to the states of Costa Rica
and Nicaragua the use of the canal and
harb bors, upon terms to be agreed upon,
for all vessels owned by said states
and by citizens thereof.
The last section makes a present ap-
preparation of 100000 900 to carry on this
work and authorizes the secretary of
war to enter into proper contracts for
material and work as may be deemed
necessary therefor, such work and ma
terial to be paid for as appropriations
may be made from time to time. The
section fixes teh aggregate cost at $780,
900, 900, to be drawn from the treasury

Disaster Inaugurated by Everett
Moore Continues.

Cleveland, jan 10-The Euclid Ave
nue. Trust and Savings company, at 81
and Sc Euclid avenue, made an assign
ment today to Attorney Frank H CHM.
The latter's bond was fixed at $250.000
by Judge Bloch, of the insolvency court
Subsequently Mr.. CHM made the fol-
lowing written statement:
"The directors of the bank decided
to make an assignment for the benefit
of all of the creditors for the reason
that the bank has been unable to re-
alize upon it's assets rapidly enough to
meet the usual demands which have
been made upon it recently. The di
rectors state that no depositor and no
customer of the bank will lose dol
lar and that the bank is solvent and
that it's present embarrassment arises
from the fact that it's patrons have
been unable to meet their obligations
to the bank with sufficient rapfdity to
take care of the unusual withdrawals.
1.-The bank has liquidated during the
past three months from about $4,000, 900
to 81, 400, 900 deposits, and the assignee
will merely continue the liquidation un-
der the orders of the court.
(Signed) FRANK H. CHM,
Assignee"
According to the last published state
ment of the bank, issued October l. 1901
the capital stock paid in amounted to
$780, 600; total resources, 81, ,964, ,002; in

LESSON THOUGHTS.
Can we, today, as Moses did, speak
face to face with God? Yes, even more
directly we can commune with God
through his inspired Word, by the Holy
Spirit given unto us, and by all the spec
ial means of grace which we now enjoy.
FIVE live daily in the light of Gods
couutenance, either purposely or even
uuconsciously we cannot help rejecting
that light upon those with whom we
come in contact.
SELECTIONS.
Two things are urgently required of us
modern Christians-to see Jesus truly,
and to show him just as we see him.
The fragrance of Jesus presence and
the reflected radiance of his face in our
faces will stimulate Others to desire the
companionship that we claim has
wrought the effect in us but, after all,
men can never know what the compan-
ionship OF Jesus means by reading books
about it, or hearing others tell of it.
They must go where the dewdrops
sparkle, the blossoms wait fragrance,
the larks sing, and the face of the living
Lord is kinded with hottest joy in smil
ing upon those that seek him in his
haunts and in his own way.
man is known by the company he
keeps. The company one keeps too,
may be known by the man. What we
call chance association with traveller
on a journey has been enough to change
the current of life. Men took knowl-
edge of the apostles that they had been
with Jesus. Two walking together try
TO keep step, and whoever has been try
ing to keep step with the Master will be
known by his gait.
SUGGESTED HYMNS.
Holy Ghost with light divine.
Take time to be holy.
AS lives the flower within the seed.
Blessed Savior, ever nearer.
Nearer, my God, to thee.
o love to talk with Jesus.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1902-08-27
