BUILD The CANAL.
National livestock Association Favors
Panama Policy.

Portland, Jan. l5.-By unanimous
vote and with great show Of enthusi-
asm, the National Livestock conven-
tion during Its morning session yester-
day, adopted resolutions heartily en-.
dorsing the policy Of President Roose.
welt with reference to the building Of
the Panama canal. When President
Springer introduced the resolutions he
alluded to the discussion Of the Pana-
ma question in the United States sem
ate and the criticism Of President
Roosevelt on account Of the position
he has taken. The call for vote was
the signal Tor rear Of ayes and 4
burst Of deafening applause. Not a
dissentingwote was raised. A copy Of
the resolution was Immediately wired
the president.
Today the attention Of the conyen-
tion will be given to the election of
officers for the ensuing year and the se-
lection Of place to hold the next con-
vention. The executive committee will
report the nominations for officers at
the morning session. f. ]. Hagen
barth, of Idaho, is the only one talked
Of as successor TO President Springer,
and his election is considered certain.
The general impression is that there
will be no change in the list Of other
officers, the present incumbents to be
reelected.
There is little doubt that Denver,
Colorado, will be the next place of
meeting. Ell Paso, Texas, has been
making fight for the convention, but
it is understood that a compromise is
TO be made whereby the next convention
will go to Denver, that of 1905 to Ell
Paso, and the succeeding meetings to
Denver as permanent headquarters.
The business sessions of the seventh
annual convention will come to close
with the selection of a place of meet
ing.
Yesterday the subjects of railroads
and forest reserves were considered in
relation to their effect upon the live
stock industry. Shortage of cars, slow
time in transit and high tariffs formed
the burden of number of addresses
bearing upon the first mentioned sub
ject. Legislation remedying the ex-
clusion of stockmen from forest reserves
was the demand of every speaker on the
public lands subject.

CAME AS SHOCK TO RUSSIA.



London, Jan. 15.--All the morning
papers have editorials which attach
great importance to the ratification Of
the commercial treaties between the
United States and China, and between
Japan and China. The consensus Of
opinion in these editorials is that the
ratification of the treaties implies an
act of sovereignty by China equivalent
to declaration that Russia's occupa-
tion of Manchuria is only temporary,
and for special purposes.
The pro-Japanese Morning Post says:
''That is precisely the point for which
Japan has been contending, and which
Russia declined to discuss with her.
Japan is now in the advantageous posi-
tion OF championing cause which is
also that of the United States"
The st. Petersburg correspondent Of
the Paris edition of the New York Herr
aid, and the special cablegrams from
other correspondents at the Russian
capital, say that the opinion is held
that the ratification OF the Japanese and
American treaties came as a shock to
the Russian foreign Office.

Washington, Jan. DISQUALIFICATION
Of the Americana Chinese commercial
treaty were exchanged at the state de-
partment today BY Secretary Hay ana
Esff Chung Teng LANG Cheng the Chi
nese minister here. II was promptly
promulgated by the president. The
treaty provides for the opening Of the
ports Of Mukden and An Tung, in Man
churia, to the worlds commerce.
President Roosevelt has selected men
of experience already in the consular
service for these new posts, and is con-
sequently able to open up the new field
to trade with the least possible delay.
Their names will be sent to the senate
as soon as congress makes provision for
their salary, which the state depart
ment hopes will be done speedily.
1t is regarded as very desirable that
such rights as we have acquired in
Manchuria as to China shall be fully
established and asserted in advance Of
any possible war that might affect that
vast territory to the extent of change
of sovereignty.
The ceremony Of exchange took place
at the state department by appointment
at ii O'Clock. The Chinese minister
was accompanied by his secretary.
Everything had been arranged, and Mr..
Conger had notified the department
that the Chinese government had placed
an exchange copy Of the treaty in his
hands yesterday This is held to be
equivalent to the delivery of the docu-
ment to the United States government,
as required by the treaty itself. Sec

Washington, Jan. 16.-For two hours
the house committee on industrial arts
and expositions listened to arguments
in support Of the pending bill making
an appropriation of $2,125, 900 for the
Lewis and Clark centennial exposition.
The principal statement was made by
Fl. W. Scott, of Portland, who followed
the general course of his address before
the senate committee last Thursday.
He, however, made some additions to
his original remarks, which made it a
more complete historical recital and
strengthened the appeal for government
aid.
Following Mr.. Scott's address, which
was closely listened to practically by
the entire committee, Whitney Z.
Boise, of Portland, presented aconvinc-
ing argument in support of the pending
bill. Not only did he appeal to the
patriotism of the members of the CON-
mittee, but he emphasized the inn
portance of the acquisition of the Pa
cific coast states to American commerce.
generally.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Boise's
statement, the committee adjourned
until today, when Jefferson Meyers
president of the Oregon state commits.

his whole life was wrapt up, he did so in

When he had gone some little distance
Roger came to a pause. His thoughts

heard a delegation including B. F.
Trueblood and Robert T. Payne in
favor of the establishment of an inter-
national congress where questions of
common interests to the nations would

stated, would exert great and grow

War Fears Increase.

Pekin, Jan. 16.-The expectation Of
war is greatly increased in diplomatic
circles here. The German minister
now regards war as a probability, all
though not despairing of a settlement
at the eleventh hour. Heretofore he
had regarded war as only a possibility.
One legation has received dispatch
from Toxic saying that Foreign Minis

Berlin, Jan. 15.--0ficial opinion re-
garding the probability of war be-
tween Russia and japan has suddenly
changed. Intelligence received at the
foreign Office yesterday has caused the
government for the first time since the
controversy began to believe that the
situation is extremely tense. The very
different views hitherto held are re-
versed. and war has become aproxi-
mate contingency, according to the
view held in official circles here.

At the present time, however, his
thoughts being far from the subject in
hand, he unconsciously allowed himself
to fall into the old habit, and this be-
trayed him.
Roger had only come face to face with
the Captain on one or two occasions, and
then he had been heated by anger and
indignation, so that he failed to recog-
nize anything familiar in the cool CLEAN
of the soldiers eyes, or the malicious look
that shot from them.
Had he been In his right mind he would
have had his suspicious excited at the
start, which would have resulted in un-
maskinE the scheming villain, but Provi-
dence, which had allowed things to go on
from bad to worse, had now decided to
draw In the net, let who would be caught
in the meshes.
That little halt in his walk betrayed the
Captain, Just as trifes have many time
betrayed the most profound secrets. Like
bolt OF lightning there flashed through
the mind of the young man who this inn
postor, this plotter, this arch-6end was,
and, at the bare thought of Carol mar
rying him, he shuddered.
Then anger came into his heart, the an
ger of an upright man who has been
shamefully imposed upon himself, and
has also seen one whom he loves deceiv-
ed.
All this while Captain Grant had been
walking slowly along, and had now reach
ed point almost directly in front Of
where Roger stood, still he did not see the
motionless form that leaned against the
tree.
He was wrapped up In his own
thoughts, and, believing himself to be
quite alone, he uttered his varying ideas
alond, chuckling the while in a manner
that would have we'll become the arch
villain In drama,
"There Is no other way of looking at
IT. you are In luck, my boy. The tates
favor you, bless them. She has quarrel
ed with Roger and sent him from her,
believing that he Is villain of the deep
est dye, with half a dozen wives in the
mad house, and one In every country
where he has travelled, while come in
| for the spolls. Oh, it Is most glorious,
most glorious" and, coming to a halt,
the Captain gave vent to his suppressed
emotions by kicking thoughtfully at some
object on the ground.
"Well, let me see," he went on. "What
was thinking about before2 The first
thing to do Is to get Carol back to her
father, which l think will be an easy
matter now that she has Quarreled with

for the result, as my power over the old

The love Of this man was something
