ALL SIGNS POINT

:: Washington. Nov: 15.-The leading
newspapers of the east are printing
stories regarding the outlook for tariff
revision at an extra session of congress
Of them are saying that the outlook
for such an extra session is very good.
Representative Babcock's public
statement, in which he favors revision,
has added interest to the discussion and
incidentally shows that he has not

yocated revision and was later COM
PEELED to keep quiet for political rea-

passed, in his opinion, and he is again
openly in the ranks of the revisionists.
Discussing revision, the Philadelphia

day, and closes it's article by saying:

.FRENCHMEN TO

Partisan Firm Will Undertake a
Gigantic Development Scheme
in Canadian West.
Special to The journal.


Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 15.-Two hun
dred million francs is the sum to be
spent on the development of the Canadi-
an northwest by the Partisan firm of
Fivier, Lille & Go.
For two months Eugene P. Cuisson,
inspecting engineer for this firm, which
is said to be the largest firm Of con-
tracing engineers in the world, has
been touring Manitoba and the terri.
tories to inspect the country with view
to building railways, canals, tramways
and bridges. With him practically was
left the decision as to whether the work
should be started and this morning he
stated that he would recommend that it
be commenced at once. He said:
cit is a wonderful country we have
seen. I have been all over the world
on such trips-in South America, North
Africa and everywhere-but have
never seen anything to compare with
the Canadian west. It is an ideal spot
for the development we propose.
1.-THE railways and canals we will
build will run thru the now sparsely
settled districts which only want open
ing up to make them the finest farming
regions in the world. / cannot say
when the work will be started, but
will do my best to have it under way
sOon.'
Cuisson left for Paris this morning
where he will give his company full
particulars of his trip and decide on
date for beginning the work.

Washington, Hov. 15.-Eugene r.
Ware of Kansas, commissioner OF pen
sions, has handed his resignation, to the
president, to take effect on JAN. 1905.
This time it is true bill, and Mr.. Ware
wiD not denyi it, altho he has had occa-
sion to deny similar reports in the PEN
sion office.
Announcement that Mr.. Ware has at
last really resigned was made officially
from the White House, yesterday after
noon. Only last Saturday, Mr.. Ware
denied that he had offered his resigna-
ton. He resigned the next day, for his
letter to the president is dated Nov. -
and altho that was on Sunday, it was
said that undoubtedly the resignation
would not be regarded as illegal on that
account. II
It is believed here that COMMISSIONS,

RUSSIA HAS THE sINEws
Cassini Says She Will Therefore Fight
to the Bitter End

Washington, Nov. 10" Russia will
pursue the war in the far east to the
bitter end; that is, until Russia has con-
quered.'
These are the opening words of an
emphatic statement made at the Russian
embassy by Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador. 81 deem it my duty to re-,
iterate what I have SO often said, that
Russia will not suspend in any case her
military operations in the far east.
All rumors and reports regarding the
possible success Of the direct over
ture for peace which Japan is said to
have made to Russia, and regarding
the mediation of the powers, in my
opinion are started for the purpose
of the war is close at hand. In this
way. it is hoped that the public may
| be lod to believe that Japanese loans
offer attractive investments.
| Where the prestige of country is
at stake, all other considerations are
and must be put aside. Some people
may hink that the financial difficult
ties will influence Russia to end hos
tilities., Such an opinion is based on
financial resources. There is no doubt
whatever that Russia, whose annual
income exceeds one milliard of dollars,
cannot be Influenced in her attitude TO-
ward the outcome Of the war by the
amount Of war expenditures.
cit is not within my scope to com

That is an affair for the bankers and fol-
the public, who are able to decide what
advantages or disadvantages the in.

THINKS GoPHERS
HAVE THE CALL
One Chicago Paper, at Least,
Gives Minnesota q Prefer
enCe.

Chicago, Nov. 15.-The Journal says:
championship goods
This is the question that Michigan
critics and Michigan critics only are
ready to answer in the affirmative.
Their claim to the championship is
based on season of victories. Min
and just as good a right. Neither team
has been defeated; both teams defeated
Wisconsin is the only team that both
teams have played. Just where Michi-
gan s superior claim comes from, then,
is not easily discernible to the unbiased
mind. .....
One matter that will weaken the con-
tention of Michigan in the minds of
most people is the refusal of Manager
Baird and Coach Yost to meet Mime
sofa. Coach Williams of Minnesota did
everything in his power to schedule
Michigan for game; but Michigan
would conquer the east and scorned
the proposals Of Coach Williams. The
only excuse that they gave was baby
ism one-that Minnesota played too
rough game to ask gentlemanly play
ers OF Ann Arbor to meet them. 10
any one who saw the Michigan Chicago
game last Saturday, this excuse appears
palpably foolish, for Michigan has a
lew players who are tip-top trough
Because Michigan would not listen to
fall the Minnesota leader now insists
that Michigan must ask for a game
with them this fall if the western cham
Plonship is to be decided. Coach Will
llams says that he would gladly meet
Michigan at St. Louis after Thanksgiv-
ing Day. If Michigan really wants to
bring about satisfactory settlement of
the western championship this fall it
would be simple matter for them
to make good: A notice Of a willing
some time early in December from
Manager Baird to Coach Williams would
| secure the game and insure settlement
OF the western championship. Instead
Manager Baird announces that his team
| will go out Of training and that no at.
tention will be paid to Minnesota. Yet
he insists that Michigan is entitled to
the championship. His only excuse fol-
not meeting Minnesota Is that the
training for several weeks without a
game and that Coach Yost, Traine,
Fitzpatrick and himself want to 90 east
to witness the Yale-Harvard game
This spirit on the part Of the Michigan
management is not of the type Of
craftsmanship that makes college ath
letics what they are intended to be
the embodiment of friendly rivalry
coupled with fair play.
ern by decisive score next Saturday
their claims will be equally as good al
those of Michigan, and, in addition
they will have the credit Of : having
played all of the big western teams
that were willing to meet them. ~.
