fail to see that the presidents attitude was intended to force them to vote for the Panama route. As for himself he was not opposing the president on slight ground, but because he believed the course of the president to be such as to threaten the integrity of the United States. He argued that accord ing to precedents the de faeto goVern- ment of Panama has no right to trans fer territory, but he declared that the president knew that only by his reeog- milton of Panama could she acquire a concession there. Indeed, he asserted that in the prospect of securing this ac- qiusition found only motive for the presidents recognition. He declared that President Rosevelt's interference lin Colombia's affairs on the isthmus was unjustified by the constitution, and asserted that if there was a general policy on the part of the United States of upholding civilization that policy must be undertaken by congress and mot left to blazon the lance of some individual American Sancho Panza to be thrust into the bosom of a friendly power"
 For one he would not vote to ratify the wrong done by the president, who, he added, desires this ratification to justify what he and the Panama junta have done. And for that purpose, said Mir. Morgan, ''he wants the assist ance of three democratic senators to do what he and his party cannot do."
 MT. Morgan had an article read from a Paris paper, printed last September and of which Mir. Morgan said Minister Bunau-Varilla was the author. The ar ticle purported to outline the presi- dents plans with reference to the Panama canal That article. MT. Nor gan declared, was a correct forecast of the message which to-day had been sent to the Senate.
 How" he asked. 'did that inflated Frenchman become possessed of the se- cret ot the presidents policy if not through the president himself?"
 He appealed to the Senate to stand by the Sooner law. and declared that the presidents course was as if he were above the law.
 That law is" he added, fin the way of his personal ambition, and he spurns lit with contemptuous Indifference"
 He said he could see the president join hands with the Panama conspira- tors, not without sorrow. but without shame, for he was not one of those l ''who bend the pregnant hinge fo the knee that thrif may follow fawning" He predicted that even though the l government of the United States should undertake the construction of the Pan

FIREMEN AND POLICE

 Chief fancher stated last evening that he wished to thank the residents of Wooster Square, in the vicinity of the fire, for their kindness in providing cof- fee and sandwiches for the men.
 He stated that he particularly wished to thank Frank G. West, brother-in- law of Controller Rowe, Controller Rowe, and Dr. Klenke for the assist ance which they had rendered in this matter.
 Sergeant Mcbride of the Grand ave- nue police station stated last evening that the men of his station had re- quested also that thanks be given to Mrs. Frank G. West of 27 Wooster street for her kindness to the police She served sandwiches and coffee to both the police and fiTefnen during the day and also last night to the police who were on duty in the vicinity.

 MT. Hill was followed by Congress- man De Arrnond and former Senator Towne, both of whom spoke enthusias- tica1ly on the democratic outlook. At the conclusion of his address MT. De Armond read an alleged message of greeting from William J. Bryan, sent by wireless from the White Star Liner Celtic, on which MT. Bryan is pas senger returning from Europe.
 The message, which was received when the Celtic (which by the way has no wireless telegraph system) was off the Nova Scotia coast, read:
 William J. Bryan sends greetings to the democrats assembled at Sherry's. I wish you happy new year and hope you will have brilliant success. My heart is with you. Do not forget the western democrat who boiled 6,5OO,O0O votes in 1900"

THR RIcHHEsT MAN IN MEXICO.

Of all the cattle kings on the western continent. Don Luis Terrazas of this city stands at the head. His dozen wide-spreading ranches reach out over twenty million acres of valley and mountain land. one-half of which is as fine grazing as can be found in this re- public. The Mexican Central railroad cuts across one of his big ranches in a continuous stretch of one hundred and ten miles.
 As the train on which I was a passen- ger followed the ribbons of steel down long valley the herds of fattening bo- vines were scattered far and wide, qui- etly grazing in the warm sunshine. Now and then the locomotive would toot frantically and the train slacken in speed. Cattle were on the track and they had to be scared off. Every few miles a cowboy was riding along the railroad keeping the cattle from getting in the way of passing trains.
 Nearly a million cattle are nipping the grass from this group of mammoth ranches. A haif-million sheep find grazing on the same ranges, as do also some two hundred thousand horses.

until 1897 when they sold the building to Italians of the Roman Catholic faith, which christened the building St MichaeIs church" and had since occupied it.
 Fire and accident have not been un- common at the church during it's varied history. It seems almost as if the sac red precincts Of the house of worship had received it's undue share of i'll luck. One incendiary fire, while the Baptists occupied the church, in 1886. resulted in burning all but the four walls of the church. The man who was convicted of setting the fire is still serving his states prison sentence.
 A smaller fire. but one that caused much speculation as to it's origin, occur red while the late David sturgis was senton. and was extinguished by his son, Albert Sturgis, aided by few com- panions. This was on the night of a republican political parade. Young Sturgis with few fellow members was returning from the parade and n pass ing the church saw bright light in- side. Having a key to the church he entered, and found brisk blaze rapidly increasing. He and his friends quickly extinguished it.
 About seven years ago the sexton of the church was killed by an explosion of coal gas in the furnace. At the time this was regarded as a peculiar fatality since the man was blown across the eel lar.
 During the great wind of 1857 when much property was destroyed, the church did not escape its share of the loss. The steeple was blown down and fell across Wooster Place and distance of more than eighty feet out upon the new green. Nobody was killed by this, although such a result was deemed fortuitous. Thousands of people went to i the scene to see the wrecked steeple.
 After the steeple had blown down the members of the church decided to build a less pretentious pinnacle on their place of worship. Accordingly a low tower was erected in place of the steeple. This tower was struck by lightning and much woorwork knocked from it. The church did not catch fire. 1 however, and none of the members were near at the time.
 During the many years of the occu- pancy of the church by the Baptists, it's pulpit held some of the most famous clergymen of that persuasion. Among these were Rev. T. Harwood Pattison, Rev. Dr. Stifier, Rev. Mir. Butricks, Rev. S. Dryden Phelps, the poet, Rev. MT. Mason, and Rev. Mir Addison Moore.
 The First Baptist congregation wor- shipped for some time at Republican hall after leaving the church in Woes ter Place. They are building new church on Edwards street.

 Don Luis can control the price of beef steak in Mexico. A heavy shipment from his herds Is certain to affect prices in the central markets, and smaller dealers try to push their cattle into the marwket while he Terrazas steers are fattening at ease on the rich para grass.
 But Don Luis is aware that man can- not live by beefsteak alone, so he has also gone into the farming business. A portion of the ten thousand men con- stantly in his employ are growing va riety Of farm products on the patch of one hundred thousand acres of land which he keeps under cultivation. He believes that in farming by irrigation the supply of water should be made un- falling as nearly as possible, so he has constructed a system of enormous res ervoirs as reserve supply of water for his crops and stock during long siege of dry weather.
 The most influential man in the state of Chihuahua to-day is Don Luis Ter razas. He is power financially. Be- sides his extensive real estate and live stock holdings he has several millions invested in banks and factories Those acquainted with his various property interests rate his wealth at from two hundred to three hundred millions in Mexican money. He is close friend of President Diaz, and was last year made governor of the state of Chihuahua, which office he now holds.

 The governor is a fearless man, and fortified in these measures by the na- tional administration and many of the best citizens. he is going right ahead n his work of reform, paying no attention to the hints at personal violence, revo- lution or the charges that he is curbing the liquor and gambling business in or der to save his son from over-indul- gence, who, his enemies say, lost nine ty thousand dollars at gambling in one night.
 Just now the population of Chihuahua | is being increased by an influx of Boer colonists. General w. D. Snydan, who was banished durin the Baer war is at the head of the movement. They have staked out a tract of one million acres of land alog the Gulf costn in the state of Tamaulipas.
 The Boer generals represent that within a few years at least five thou sand families will have come across the seas from South Africa to locate per nently on this tract and on other lands adjoining on which they hold options.
 The Mexican government is giving ev- cry reasonable encouragement to the big-whiskered colonists and making the terms of purchase so low that no one ot average industry and economy ought to have serious difficulty in becoming in- Independently established if the natural conditions of water and soil are at all favorable.
 How to coax the water from the streams and distribute 1t over the land is the great problem before colopists ir this state. The Mormons have tackled this proposition with success in several localities, and the Boers are brave i enough to try their hand at the business on even much larger scale. The val lleys are fertile, but the currents in the principal streams are rapid and difficult to control. Chihuahua (Mex.) Cores pondence of the Pittsburg Dispatch.

A sCHEIE THAT FAILED.

Unsuccessful Attempt to Discover a
 Competing Manufacturers Secret.
 A group of young men. all active in the world of business, were telling hard luck stories at the Manufacturers club one evening recently. An electrical en- gireer, still in his early thirties, whose salary is represented by five figures, told the following:
 I've been up against it more than once, but an adventure I had in New York in 96, like Aaron's serpent, swal- lows all the rest. At the time was manager and a stockholder to a limited extent in Baltimore. We were operat- ing under a patent, and things were just beginning to come our way, when we got word from our salesmen that goods similar to ours were being placed upon the market at a figure which we could not meet.
 T got samples of the goods and the figures from three different sources and at once called meeting of the direc- tors. Our patent was worthless as a matter of protection and our only re- source was secrecy; and, so far as we were able to do it, our process was kept from prying eyes. But there was some one who was beating us at our own
 game. If we could find cut how it was
 done we could do it ourselves; if we couldn't it meant ruin.
 "The next day, disguised as work
 man, l went over to New York and found the factory without any trouble, l but try as I would I couldn't get en- ploynent. The foreman said he hadn't enough work to keep his men going l and would have to discharge some of
 them. was desperate. It was a bit | ter winter day, and foot and half of
 snow lay on the ground. As last re-
 sort I asked him if he would let me
 shovel the snow from the sidewalk and
 give me a square meal in payment. 1 This appeal reached his heart, and l got l the job. It was no joke. can tell you, | for the factory was a big one and the l sidewalk long. But was glad to get 1 the chance, for it meant that was to have a show to get inside the works, and I only needed a few hours at most l to find out how the trick was done. It 1 took me four hours to get the sidewalk cleared, and my back was nearly brok- en when I went into the office again. The foreman looked up from his desk as I came in and said:
 "Got it done so quick?'
 "sYes,' said I.
 "sLet's go out and look at it And we went out. He looked the sidewalk over and said: It's good job l I didn't think you could do it. Now, fl you look sharp you'll be in time tc catch the noon train for Baltimore, and Just tell them that you saw me" That was new song in those days and I've detested it ever since. '-Ph Philadel-
