NEGRO VALET COT BAD TREATMENT Causes Some Diplomatic Cor r'sp0ndtnce With Canada RIVERS AND HARBORS TODAY Measure Will Be Called, But Leaders Still Seem Doubtful: About It's Pass

RIVERS AND HARBORS TODAY

Washington, February 20.-(Special)- c. W. Thompson, the negro valet of the wealthy Alexander Graham Bell of this city. is the cause of diplomatic corres- pondence which has been opened between the United States government and Can ada.
 MT. Bell uoually spends his summers at Sydney, Cape Breton, and several weeks ago sent his valet to Canada 10 make arrangements for him. Thompson arrived in Sydney, but WIS not allowed to enter the hotels and had the greatest difficulty in finding a place to eat or sleep. He claims that he was grossly mis- treated, and his employer, MT. Bell, in- dignant that his valet should be treated in any such mlnner, wrote letter 10 the President complaining about the mat ter. The President Is also said to be- lieve that Thompson has been unjustly dealt with and that he should not have been dlscrtminated against because of his color At any rate the President as soon as he received Mr Bells letter sent the same to the Secretary of State for an ex- plation. The Secretary has instructed the United States consul at Sydney to furnish the facts and a report is expect ed from him next week.
 It is not clear here just what the gov ernment contemplates doing even should Thompson's charges be sustained. A sim liar case arose in Pretoria, s. A., last year. A number of negroes charging that they were being discriminated against on account of color. The papers were pigeon- holed in the State Department though there was a report current at the time that the President was decidedly in favor of taking up the case with the English government. The matter was dropped, however, and quite little surprise is manifested here that serious considera- tion should be given the Thompson case.

He's going to catch today. That was the year Harry thought Ashley Lloyd or John T. Brush or some body had promised to give a few c~nned tomatoes, some pills or a When suit if he caught good ball. And Harry figured to his own satisfaction that his work was good. I'll never forget the last day of that season. He made personal ap- pe.l to John IT, for the extra, and after his eloquent spiel, J.

THE SENATE.

Washington, February 20.-Whether the Senate conferees on the statehood bill will represent the party that defeat joint statehood for Arizona and New Mexico, or the party that fought for the reten- ton of that provision was debated at length today in the senate. but no de- cision was reached. The usual manner is to name as conferees the two ranking majority members and the ranking mi nority member of the committee having the bill in charge. In the present case 1t was contended by Senators German and Teller that the conferees, If so named would not represent the sentiment for the bill as passed by the Senate. The arguments were interrupted by the con- yening of the Senate as a court to hear the Swayne impeachment charges, but will be continued tomorrow. The House managers in the Swayne trial rested their case today, and the defense opened.

confe ederate Flags to Be Restored.

The House committee on military affairs today unanimously recommended the pas sage of the bill restoring to the Confed- crate states the flags captured during the civil war. These flags are now stored m the attic of the war department to the number of 40. Previous to 1887 the Secre- tary of War was returning them to states whenever application was made. In that year Secretary Endicott suggested to P. es!dent Cleveland that 1t would be a gracious thing tc anticipate these requests and return all the flags, President Cieve- land issued an order to that effect, but a week later upon re-examination of the subject concluded that only through the authority of Congress could the flags be returned The bill reported today has that effect.

Rivers and Harbors Today.

With the passage of the naval bill by the House today the onl measures re- maining before the lower branch of Con gross are the rivers and --arbors which will be taken up tomorrow, the sundry civil and general deficiency bAI yet to be reported is assumed that the speaker will not allow consideration of the pub lie buildings bill. Represent tive Gros- venor of Ohio, spent some time over on the Senate side today, the understanding being that he was sent there by Speaker Cannon to find out the status of legis- lation on that side of the capitol. Rep resentative Grosvenor is member of the rules committee and says the public build
 ngs bill will not come up. He thinks the passage of the rivers and harbors bill is very doubtful and has no hope that anything but the regular supply bills will get through.

Statehood Question In poubt.

The indifference of the Senate towards agreeing to a conference committee on the statehood bill, as manifested today, evidently indicates that a bill is not to be expected. It Is thought, however, that the Senate will appoint eonferees by the latter part of the week, but that agreement can be reached is improbable. Behind all the bills and reports made during this Congress on the subject the real plan of the Senate and House re- publican leaders is believed to be one stete-Okahoma and Indian Territory combined. It is not believed that such a bill can pasl.

In the first months of the Russia
Japan War we had striking example
of the necessity for preparation and the
early advantage of those who, 80 to
speak, ''have shingled their roofs in
dry weather" The virtue of prepara-
ton has made history and given to us
our greatest men. The individual as
we'll as the nation should be prepared
for any emergency. Are you prepared
to successfully combat the first cold
you take? A cold can be cured much
more quickly when treated as soon as
1T has been contracted and before it has
become settled in the system. Cham

its cures of colds and it should be kept
