Porto Rico.

Porto Rico.
l wish also to call the attention OF
the congress to one question which at
feets our insular possessions generally
namely, the need of an increased lib
crafty in the treatment OF the whole
franchise question in these islands.
/ earnestly ask that Alaska be given
an elective delegate.
Admission to Statehood.
I recommend that Indian Territory
and Oklahoma be admitted as one state
and that New Mexico and Arizona be
admitted as one state.
The Panama Canal.
Active work in canal construction,
mainly preparatory, has been in prog
ress for less than year and half.
During that period two points about
the canal have ceased to be open to
debate. First. the question of route;
second, the question of feasibility. The
point which remains unsettled is wheth-,
er the canal shall be one of several
locks above sea level or at sea level
with a single tide lock. On this point
hope to lay before the congress at an
early day the findings Of the advisory
board of American and European en-
gineers.
In addition to sanitating the isthmus,
satisfactory quarters are being provid-
ed for employees and an adequate sys-
TEN of supplying them with wholesome
food at reasonable prices has been ere
ated. Hospitals have been established
and equipped that are without superb
ors OF their kind anywhere. During
the past year large portion of the
plant with which the work Is to be
done has been ordered It is confident
" believed that by the middle Of the
approaching year sufficient proper
ton of this plant will have been in
stalled to enable us to resume the work
OF excavation on a large scale.
What is needed now and without de-
lay is an appropriation by the congress-
to meet the current and accruing ex-
penses of the commission. The first
of $4,000, 600 out Of the
$135, 100000 authorized by the Spooner
act was made three years ago. It is
nearly exhausted. Unless the congress
shall appropriate before that time all
work must cease.
lin conclusion the president recon-
mends an increase In the diplomatic
and consular service and more adj
equate compensation OF its members.l

at her baby; an unmarried one reaches
for her jewel box. Now, it was clear to
me that our lady of today had nothing
in the house more precious to her than
what we are in quest Of. She would
rush to secure it. The alarm Of fire was
admirably done. The smoke and shout
ing were enough to shake. nerves of
steel. She responded beautifully. The

a glimpse Of it as she half drew it out.
When l cried out that it was false

rocket, rushed from the room, and [

making my excuses, escaped from the
house. I hesitated whether to attempt
to secure the photograph at once; but
was watching me narrowly, 1T seemed
safer to wait. A little over-precipi-
lance may ruin all.
"And r1owsn I asked. -
"Our quest is practically. finished.
I shall call with the king tomorrow,
and with you, if you care to come with
us. We will be shown into the sitting

probable that when she comes she may
find neither us nor the photograph. it
might be satisfaction to His Majesty
to regain it with his own hands.

Concord, Mass. Jan. "A fatal acci-
dent Happened late Saturday after

shot and killed Clarence L. Jones. with
whom he was in a canoe on the Con-
cord river shooting muskrats.
The boys wera in rear OF Mrs. +. s.

muskrat, was reloading the rifle.

WAR TO BITTER END.
No Move Made by Russians or Japs to
Discontinue the Struggle.

st. Petersburg. JAN 9-t?l5 A. Ny
The conferences which Emperor Nicho-
las has been holding with members of
the council of the empire NJ. Witte
and other ministers and advisors on the
internal and external situation, have
not yet been concluded, but nothing has
occurred which would indicate that the
government is prepared to depart from
its present program of continuing the
war to the bitter end Nevertheless,
talk Of peace was heard. Sunday. in
many quarters. the foundation for it
being ascribed to Foreign Minister
t.amslorff'S alleged position in favor OF
such course on the ground that, asid..
from the humiliation 10 military pres
tis.' involved, it wo.l.d only mean the
REIMBURSEMENT Of Marchur:a, to which
Russia already is formally pledged.
There is no confirmation OF this state
ment Of Count LamsGorff's position be-
yond the general knowledge that he al
ways belonged to the peace party. 1t is
quite probable that the peace gossip
has heen produced by the arrival OF
foreign papers as it received no en-
courlgcment in responsible quarters
here.
The belief which existed In exception
ally well informed diplomatic circles
that Japan would :Ollow the fall OF
Port Arthur with moderate peace pro-
positions has not been realized. Up to
the present time nothing has reached
tho government eithe~ through the
United States or other channels. DiplO-
mats here cannot figure o,lr the gener-
III l'ces of treaty at this juncturc
which both the DeiligerertS could ac-
cept, but realize that if Japan makes
any sort of offer, unless it is rejected
outright as not entartainable, ncgOtia-
tionS would be opened: and negotiations
OLct entered upon friends Of both par
ties could use their COOL offices to
bring about terms. This is the only
hope for a termination of the war.
which diplomats can see.
