Tom Patterson is doing the only

Illinois now comes to the front with
joint resolution calling for popu-
lar election of United States senator's.
Quite number of other states, among
them Colorado, have passed similar
resolutions and If two-thirds of the
state legislatures should make such
demand congress would be required
by the constitution to call a conven-
tion for the purpose of submitting
constitutional amendments to the
states. But before this happens the
United States senate will doubtless
yield and agree with the lower house
TO direct submission of the desired
amendment to the states without the
complication of a convention Even
senatorial obstinacy must take cogni-
zance of practical politics.

Governor Peabody vetoed the bill

The new Minnesota capitol building.
which is soon to be completed at "A
cost of s4,500,000, will be one of the
most stupendous public buildings in
the world. Constructed entirely OF
Georgia marble it is i33 feet long, 2333
feet wide at its center, and 220 feet
high from the basement TO the top OF
the dome The work of the next two
years will be spent on the interior
decorations and furnishing. Cass Gill
bert, the architect, is following the
style of the Boston public library
and the congressional library at Wash
ington in the scheme Of the decora-
tions and the methods of making
them. Artists of first-class reputation
will be engaged to produce the mural
paintings anu those on tne great pen
dentives OF the dome and upon the
walls of all the principal chambers.
The recent addition to the original ap.
preparation has made ii possible to
complete the grand designs launched
about ten years ago by the capitol
commissioners. Like all great works
of this kind it was found that the
$3,0OO,O00 originally set aside for the
work was all too little. and it is even
thought that still another appropriation
will be required before the finishing
| touches are put on the work, some

THE FACTS OF THE MATTER.
Alleged Negotiations Between japanese
Official and Filipino Chief Described.

The Japanese minister has received the
following official statement regarding the
alleged dealings between an official of the
Japanese consulate at Manila and the in
surgent leader Trias as reported by Gen.
Macarthur in December, 1900:
"In January, 1901, the United States
minister at Toxic brought the matter to
the attention Of the minister for foreign
affairs, who disclaimed any knowledge of
the alleged facts on the part of the Japa-
nese government. and Immediately insti-
tuted investigation. Mr.. HOBO, the
official accused. who had been temporarily
in charge of the consulate at Manila in Oc-
tober, 1900. was recalled to Japan and
subjected to close examination. from which
the following facts were brought to light
While returning from a pleasure trip to
Cavite he accidentally met Trias and was
introduced to him by a fellow-traveler In
the course of the conversation which en-
sued Trias' secretary stated that the in
SurgentS were in need of arms and ammu-
milton; that If they could obtain a SUNNY
sufficient for the equipment of from 800
to 10, 600 me- 1t would ne an easy matter 10
drive the American troops out of the
islands and ultimately to secure independ-
ence. and that If Japan would assist the
insurgents by supplying arms and anmlI-
milton the right to establish a perna nent
coaling station, freedom of trade and rail-
way franchises would be conceded. He then
inquired how Mr.. HOBO t.:ought the Japa-
nese government would regard such a
proposition. Mr.. HOBO replied that he had
no authority to discuss the matter In his
official capacity, but that his private opin-
ion was mat IT would be absolutely i'm
possible for Japan to consider such pro-
posal or to render any assistance whatever
to the insurgents. and he added that he
thought their wiSest course was submission

Admiral Walker who is still at the head

created number of years ago, had
conference with the President this morn
ing. Admiral Walker has made many
trips to Panama to study the canal route
there, and is probably more familiar with
the region than any other American. He
knows the country and the people, and he
gave the President number of valuable
ideas as to what may be expected as a
result of the revolution that has broken
out on the isthmus, with independence from
Colombia as its aim. Admiral Walker d1d
not care to express his views as to the pos
SibiEtieS.
Secretary Hay was another caller who
discussed the Panama situation with the
President. but to most of his callers the
President did not touch upon the events
now taking place on the isthmus.
