Resolutions by Fort Concho Lodge,
No. 400.

To the officers and members of
Fort Concho Lodge No 2GG.
|. o. o. f.
We, your committee to draft
suitable resolutions expressive of
the sentiments of this lodge on
the death of our brother, D. ID.
Wallace, beg leave to report the
following:
d. ID Wallace was about fifty
years of age, began his residence
III San Angelo, Texas, in the year
1887. Became n member of Fort
Concho Lodge, No. 26G, of San
Angelo, in the year 1888, by de-
post of card from Cameron
Lodge, and was universally es-
teemed by the order for his un-
yielding fealty to the tenets and
teachings OF the order.
His life was that of a good
citizen, and the esteem in which
he was held was duly attested by
his selection to responsible oili-
cial positions by his fellow citi-
zens.
He departed this life on the
morning of Nov. Both, 1902,
after an illness of many months,
the suffering and pain Of which
he bore with manly fortitude and
without complaint,
TO the bereaved wife and chill
dren and other relatives we eX-
tend our heartfelt sympathy, and
point them to an All-Wise Provi-
dence for that consolation which
we feel our inability to render.
In his death our community
sustains an irreparable loss; Odd
fellowship loses n consistent mem
Der, and the state fearless and
conscientious official.
Respectfully submitted,

Convention Defining Boundaries,
etc, Signed To-day.

At a Cabinet meeting, held in Pa
ris last Friday, Foreign Minister
'Delcasse announced that a Franco
S!amese convention, settling pending
questions and defining the boundaries,
etc. had been signed.
By the terms of the convention the
southern frontier between Siam and
Cambodia is moved from the mouth Of
the River Piek-Kompong-Tiam, on the
Great Lake, to the mouth of the Stan
grolnos, in the province OF Angkor.
The northern frontier follows the ridges
of the Pnom-Padang range to the Me
kong River, giving France the ancient
Cambodian province of Melaiprey and
Laos, in the province of Bassak.
The King of Siam is given the right
to maintain troops at different points on
the right bank of the Mekong. which
remains Siamese; but he undertakes to
employ only Siamese trops oihcered by
Siamese in the whole Mekong basin.
If Siam desires 10 construct ports,
canals, or railroads in the Siamese por-
ton of the Mekong basin, she must
obtain the consent of the French Gov
ernment to employ foreign help, if she
is unable to carry ont the work b.
means of a Sianese staff and Samese
capital The convention forbids the
imposition Of diferential duties or
charges for the use of ports, canals, and
railroads contrary to the principe Of
commercial equality. promised in the
convention sis ned by Siam.
So soon as the new frontiers are han
ded over to FraDce, the French troop:
will evacuate Chentabun.

Flood Of Recent Years.
DAMAGE VERY HEAVY

WATERS RISING ON EVERY HAND
Lives and Household Effects Saved
by Ample Warning of the
Floods Approach.

Philadelphia, March 1.7-What is said to
have been the creates flood that has
ever been experienced along the schuyl-
kill river, tore its way down that stream
last night and early this morning; and
from its source to it's mouth, 120 miles,
damage that will reach into hundreds Of
thousands of dollars has been done.
1t was an anxious night for the resi-
dents and property owners along the river.
Thus far only one life has been lost in
this city. Michael Igol was drowned.
The height of the flood was reached, at
6 o'clock this morning, when the river,
which had extended to twice Its width,
began slowly to recede. Information as
to the conditions in towns situated on the,
upper river banks is meager. s.
The melting of ice and snow, coupled
with heavy rains Of the past twenty=four
hours, in the eastern section of the state
was the cause Of the flood. Much prop
erty stored in, buildings along the river
| banks was moved to places of safety.
/ Three Blocks Flooded.
| Incalculable damage, however, has been
| done in this city. The water came within
| a few feet of the lower girders of the city
| bridges and swept back from the wharf
lines for three blocks, surrounding dwell
ing houses and great manufacturing plants
and inundating railroad tracks. Several
hundred sheep and hogs in the abattoi1
yards were drowned.
Probably the greatest sufferer is the
Baltimore &, Ohio Railroad company
l whose tracks run along he eastern shore
three miles. This road has abandoned
service over it's main line and is sending
it's through Grains via the Junction rail
road.
The company's waiting rooms in the
I main depot at Twenty fourth and Chest
nut were three feet under water and ii
the trainshed the water was as high a:
the windows of the coaches. 5s5..E

circles have ceased to regard the Securi-
ties litigation as positive influence. 1t
has affected stock dealings negatively in
the sense that there would have been live
lier speculation had it not been for the
attorney generals move ten days ago.
But PEOPLE are beginning to realize that
it is likely to take two years or more for
the case to go through the various courts
before either side abandons the contest.
1t is doubtful whether even the decision
of the circuit court of New Jersey in which
bill probably will be filed by the state
OF Minnesota, next week, will be handed
down before the summer recess. Legal
proceedings against tn Securities company
are likely therefore to attract a diminish
ing degree of attention from now on.
But there is no blinking the fact that
an enormous amount Of capital is tied up
loans upon old Northern Pacific shares,
and that the resources of two powerful

/ are correspondingly reduced. What effect

Panama Canal.
Paris, March 1.-The officials of the
Panama Canal company are still without
any explanation of the dispatch from the
government of Colombia, announcing that
the company would not be allowed to
transfer it's concession to another nation
without the consent of Colombia to a
modification of the companys agreement
with Colombia. The hope is expressed
that the difficulty will be remedied and
meanwhile the company will maintain its
offer to sell it's property to the United
States. 49,,
1t is not considered probable here that
Colombia will oppose the sale of the
canal property to the United States after
giving it's assent at the opening Of the
negotiations. It is considered that Co.
lombia is offering an affront to the United
States by now opposing the transfer.

retiring minister from Colombia at Wash.
ington, to-day authorized the following
| statement:
The Panama Canal company, through Mr.
was informed some ago that it could clos
no deal involving the transfer of its right t
any nation without first obtaining the assen
| Of the Columbian government. The govern
ment gave the company the right to initiat
| negotiations looking to transfer of it's right
| to a nation, but never to close such dea
! finally.

holders when presented to them in the form

strued the notification to mean that the Co
| lumbar government not yet prepare

Washington, March 1.-The treaties to
be negotiated with Cuba will be based
upon the provisions of the Plat amend
ment, which was incorporated = in the
Cuban constitution and which establishes
a protectorate by the United States over
the island. The President of the United
States, meantime, will attempt to secure
for Cuba commercial arrangements which
will enable her to send her products into
this country upon terms advantageous to
her sugar and tobacco growers.
President Roosevelt had long chat
with Representative Hopkins of the ways
and means committee about the advisa-
bility of the house taking Immediate
action. He intimated that instead of a
reduction Of Is per cent from the Dingley
tariff rates for Cuban products, which he
recommends in his original message, he
! would prefer a reduction of 33 per cent.
Mr.. Hopkins will take up the subject with
| the house leaders. He is confident that
| the presidents recommendations will be
| ratified by the republican caucus. He
| says that the beet sugar lobby has greatly
minimized its own chance Of retaining the
| support Of the house by it's arbitrary plaI
| for ignoring the presidents recommends.
| tions. Mr.. Hopkins admits, however, that
there will be a long battle before the
| house caucus action.

that his relations to the president are of

The SENATE
TAKES TINE
It Orders the Jacobson Bill
Reported Back by
Wednesday.
The Ore Tonnage Tax Is.
Likely to Be Stricken
Out.

To-days Legislative Bulletin: The
house and senate being in session for the
purpose of tax legislation, report pro
gress" and ask leave to set again.
Net Result To-day: Apro-Boer resolu-
ton in the senate and flood of new gen
2eral legislation In the house.
The jacobson tax bill was treated by the
senate this morning with the dignity
characteristic of that conservative body.
Friends of the measure tried hard to
get immediate consideration. But the
senators sent it to the tax committee. to
be reported back by Wednesday morning.
The committee will meet to hear objec-
tors at 2 o'clock Monday.
May Remove Tonnage Tax.
The senate is likely to strike off the
tonnage tax concurrence Of the house. The
Duluth senators are prepared to make the
fight of their lives for such an amend
ment.
Many senators who favor the bill do not
think the tonnage tax wise. With tax
| commission, they argue, it ought to be
possible to get at the true value Of the
|
out leaving an opportunity to contest
new and untried law.
! The intention was to begin work on the
constitutional amendment in the senate
this morning, but there was hitch IN the
committee over drafting the bill, and an
other day was lost.
The house had intended to tackle the
Anderson bills to-day, but over night the
attendance had melted away to the usual
Saturday spr1nkling. The bills were there
fore laid over till Monday and made q
Il special order for the afternoon. For the
same reason no action was taken on the
constitutional amendments, which. are
now on general orders.
! Mr.. Andersons real estate and tnheri-
/ tance tax bills are likely to go through
speedily. His tax commission bill will
4 be held up as last resort, should the
senate kill the Jacobson bill.
May Close In a Week.
