Washington. President Roosevelt
has completed the personnel of the
Isthmian Canal Commission. Assur-
ances have been received by the Pres
ident that C. Ewald Grunsky, the San
Francisco hydraulic engineer, will &C
cept, although his formal acceptance
has not been received. Senator Per-
kins of California said there was no
doubt of Mr.. Grunsky's acceptance.
1t is probable that the seventh mem
Der of the Commission, as heretofore
indicated by the Associated Press, will
be Benjamin M. Harrod, of New Or
leans, a member Of the Mississippi
River Commission. Some charges were
made against Mr.. Harrod, involving
his capacity rather than his integri-
ty, but thus far they are not taken
very seriously by the President. The
President intends that members shall
be well paid for their services, but the
compensation is not yet determined.
| Officers of the Commissioner will be
maintained in Washington, but much
of the time of the members will be
spent necessarily ON the actual scene
of their work. President Roosevelt
has signed the notifications to be ex-
changed between the United States
and the Republic of Panama on the
Isthmian Canal Treaty. The ex-
changes will be made at the State De-
partment between Secretary Hay, act
ing for the United States, and Mr..
! Bunau Varilla, the minister Of Pana-
ma. The President himself does not
sign treaty. Subsequently procla-
nation will be issued by the presi-
dent announcing the conclusion of the
convention and putting it into effect
Senator Kittridge of South Dakota,
a member Of the Senate committee on
interoceanic canals, was present when
the president signed the documents Of
ratification and was presented with

FRIDAY.

The state will get no remedial legis-
lation on insurance this session of the
legislature. The House has defeated
the bill repeating the anti-compact
clause of the present insurance laws,
which would allow the Southeastern
Tariff Association to operate in the
state; the bill repeating the anti-com-
pact clause was defeated by vote of
55 to 40. It is now predicted that the
passage of the bill repeating the val
ued policy clause, whether it passed
the senate or not, will have little effect
on the insurance rates in Mississippi.
The house this morning passed the
bill providing for the future manage
ment of the Vicksburg Charity Hos
pital, which authorizes the appoint
ment of body of trustees of seven,
five to be selected by the governor,
one by the City of Vicksburg and one
by Warren county. 1t also provides
for the appointment of surgeon by
the governor. Appropriation bill will
be passed in the next few days. In
the senate this afternoon a resolution
was introduced by Murray F. Smith
and passed authorizing the appoint
ment of committee to investigate the
affairs of the benevolent institutions
in Jackson and the affairs of the board
of control, the committee to report to
the next legislature. The senate this
afternoon killed the bill allowing wo-
men to practice law in Mississippi and
refused to concur in the house amend
ment to the uniform text book bill
which means there will be no uniform
text book legislation.

WEDNESDAY.

The Senate this morning spent all
the time in considering the Wells
Vagrancy Bill, which came from the
House, and after discussion passed
the bill by an overwhelming majority.
The House this afternoon passed the
Insurance Bill, taking the valued pol
icy law of personal property. There
was no contest on the bill and it pass
ed just as it came from the committee.
The valued policy law as to buildings
is retained. 1t is expected that the
bill repeating the anti-compact law,
so far as il applies to insurance COM
panies, and allowing the Tariff Asso-
citation to do business in this state,
will come up tomorrow, when it is be-
lieved that it will be passed.

Legislation authorizing the Philip
pine government to execute a guaran-
tee of per cent. per annum on $780,
100000 of bonds for railroad con-
struction in those islands, is to be in
troduced in the House this week by
Chairman Cooper of the House Com
mittee on Insular Affairs. This leg
islation will have the support of the
administration through Secretary
Taft, whose conviction that railroads
are the next essential step in the de-
velopment of the Philippine Islands
has been made known to the Commit
tee on Military affairs. The plan as
at first outlined, provided for 8 per
cent. guarantee on a total investment
Of $60,000,000. Upon further con-
sideration of the matter it was deem
ed advisable to reduce the total
amount to $4O,O00,00O and raise the
guarantee to 4 per cent. Should the
total amount of the guarantee be call
ed for, it would mean a total yearly
expenditure of $1,600,000. 1t is now
predicted that the telegraph lines will
follow the railroads, newspapers will
be established along its lines, and the
educational social and industrial de.
velopment of the islands will be ac.
complished faster and more surely
than in any other manner.

The text of the message to the
Navy Department from Commander
Marshall, of the Vicksburg, is as fol-
lows: "Took the initiative by sending
medical assistance to the Varyag as
soon as possible after learning that
they were abandoning the vessel. Sent
three boats and assisted in taking off
the Russian sailors, putting them on
board the British and Italian vessels.
The Varyag remained afloat over
five hours, filling slowly. Our boats
were instructed not to bring the sail
ors to the Vicksburg, offering the Ia
fro temporarily, but offer was de-
clined."
