TO ADJUST TIE RATIO.
Washington Omcia's VIII Aid silver Using
Nations In Their Efforts tn Throttle
Currency Fluctuations.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The executive
branch of the government is not dis
posed to cease it's efforts to bring
about an adjustment of the ratio of
gold and silver currency in the orient
and in other silver-using countries
with the mere presentation to con-
gress of the Mexican and Chinese
notes. Secretary Root, who is op-
posed to the amended Philippine cur
rency bill, is particularly urgent in
seeking to remedy the evil financial
conditions in the Philippines, caused
in large part by fuctuating currency
ratios, while Secretary Hay is inter-
ested in the proposition because it
promises to at once alleviate the fric-
ton now existing as result of the
Chinese indemnity question.

WILL NOT COMPETE.
From New Mexico to the Pacific Coast
Rock Island and Santa Fe Roads
Will Use the Same Track.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 31.-General
Manager Nudge, of the Santa Fe,
said of the Santa Fe-Rock Island al
lance: 1.-THE Santa Fe will build
from Dodge City to Liberal, Kan,
connecting the Santa Fee main line
with the Rock Island at once. From
Liberal to some point in New Mexico,
where the. new Santa Fe cutoff
crosses the Rock Island, distance of
$50 miles, the Santa Fee will use the
Rock Island tracks. From this point
the Rock Island will use the Santa
Fee tracks to the Pacific coast. This
will probably blot out the plans of
both roads for rebuilding heretofore
proposed New Mexico opposition
lines"

Murdered Americana Reeovered.

Manila, Jan. Slight ladrones and
one constable were killed in an en-
counter at Ormoc, West Leyte prov
ince, on Tuesday. The fight was a
hard one but the constabulary won
by daring charge. One hundred. and
fifty ladrones surrendered at Ormoc
the following day. The district had
been disorderly and it is believed that

to it's pacification. g.
The bodies of the three American
volunteers, including Mr.. Osborne, q
teacher, who were killed at Bolinac,
province of Z;mbales recently in a
fight with ladrones, have been recov-

rs NOT YET SECURE.
Canal Treaty Must Run Gauntlet
Of Opposition.
President Roosevelt Anxious That It Pass
In Present Form and senator Morgan's
Fight ON IL Worries the Chief
Executive.

Washington, Feb. Am impor-
tant conference was held at the white
house Saturday, the participants be-
ing the president, Secretary Hay and
Senator Cullom, chairman of the for
eign relations committee of the SEN
ate. The subject under discussion
was the status of the Panama canal.
The situation with regard to the
treaty as it has developed in the SEN
ate is giving the administration and
Its supporters grave concern. The
president is exceedingly anxious that
the treaty should be ratified at the
earliest possible moment; yet the in
dica tons now are that serious OBJ
structions may be placed in the way
of ratification.
Senator Morgan. chairman of the
committee on inter-oceanic canals,
takes the ground that the negotia-
tons conducted by the state depart
ment with Mr.. Herran, representing
Colombia, are not valid, and holds
that Mr.. Herran did not possess the
necessary authority to make a treaty
binding upon his country, and it is
understood that he will use his ut
most efforts to defeat the treaty in
its present form. Such action, it is
we'll understood, will seriously delay
final action upon it, even if it should
not result in the defeat of it's ratifica-
ton. 1t is stated definitely that any
amendment to the treaty would i'm
peril the entire canal project, as the
government of Colombia might hest
tate to accept amendments made to
it, particularly if they involve es-
sential details or principles.
