GREAT BRITAIN is WORRIED
Chamberlain Fearful Roosevelt's
Policy May Win Canada.
Has Openly Declared One OF His
Great Desires Is to Win the

London, April 16.-In the course Of
a speech, Mr. Chamberlain dwelt at
some length on fiscal matters and the
necessity for Great Britain adopting a
system whereby she could retaliate
against discrimination and enter into
closer commercial bonds with the col
onies.
"At the present moment" he said,
"the president of the United States is
one of the ablest, one of the strongest
and one of the most courageous men
who ever sat in the presidential chair.
He is patriot, and ne has openly de-
clared that one of his great objects and
desires is to connect the United States
more closely with our Dominion of
Canada by reciprocity.
II do not know what stock he may
have with his countrymen, but certain
ly they are in a position to offer very
favorable terms to the dominion. If we
reject the idea of considering a similar
proposition made to us, is it too much
to expect that Canada may turn in an
other direction?"

A GREAT RAILROAD MERGER
Union Pacific, New York Central
and Chicago & Northwestern:
Consolidation VIII Produce the
Greatest Railroad system With
the Greatest Capital.

New York, April 17.-According to
the details of the underwriting, the
greatest railroad bond issue ever made,
$780,, 100000 must be made by the
Union Pacific, to consummate its
merger with the New York Central
and the Chicago & Northwestern rail-
roads.
The consolidation will produce the
greatest railroad system in the world,
with the greatest capital. Its total of
stocks and bonds will be greater than
the national debt of the United States
There is not enough cash in the United
States to pay cash for the capitalized
value of the system. The total mile
age of the system will be 36,z14.
The plan of the consolidation is all
underwritten, and the promoters are
merely waiting for a favorable time
to announce consummation of the
scheme. There is to be an issue of 10
per cent. of stock made by each Of the
roads to be absorbed, That issued by
the Chicago G. Northwestern is to go
as extra dividend to the stockholders.
That issued by the New York Central
will be sold to stockholders at 1875, pro-
ducing $2S,125,0O0 cash, with which to
make improvements already planned
on the system. The total stock of both
roads is to be purchased by the Union
Pacific with bonds. The Central stock
will be takent at 200 in A per cent
bonds and the Northwestern at 300,
with 49, per cent. bond. All Of these
bonds have been underwritten, and
enough stock of both systems is
pledged to vote for the plan to carry
it through.

RESPECT FOR RoJEsTvENsKY.
Generally Admitted That He Is

Generally Admitted That He Is
Playing u Clever Game of War.
London, April 14.-Respect for the
strategic ability of Admiral Rojest
vensky is growing in war circles here,
and it is generally admitted that the
Russian admiral is playing a clever
game of war.
The absolute lack Of any confirma-
tory report of the Batavia story OF an
attack on the Russian squadron, and
the Singapore dispatch of, leads to the
belief that the story of Japanese at
tack on the Russian feet was sent out
by Russian officers with a view to puz-
cling the Japanese naval experts.
1t is now recognized that the Rus
sian commander worked very clever
ruse at Singapore when he sent his
battleships so far out to sea that they
could not be seen from the harbor,
and in that way created the impression
that he had divided his feet, fact
which has undoubtedly occasioned no
end of worry to the Japanese admiral
ty.
1t is believed here now that Rojest-
vensky will head directly for the
straits of Formosa, and will endeavor
to push on toward Vladivostok. If he
can reach that port without fight he
will do so, but if he can not he will
probably give battle whenever chal-
lenged by Admiral Togo.

The Family Spirit,

What, therefore, we must study are the
causes for this passing of the family
spirit, this degeneration of the home in

the recreation of the family in the
patriarchial sense" In other words, the
individual interest has excluded the So

1t Has Been Decided to Track the

Made DOubly So By the Heavy
Fall OF Snow.

Colorado Springs, Col, April A.
President Roosevelt is the guest of
Colorado, having crossed the snow
bound state line in his special on the
Forth Worth & Denver line.
Gov. Mcdonald and party met the
presidential special at the border of
the state and presented the strenuous
executive with an embossed license to
Dunt within the commonwealth.
Advices from Southern Colorado
say the snow is two feet deep in the
locality of the presidential camp and
the fall continues. P. B. Wells,
Meeker hunter, who arrived at New
Castle, says it took nearly five hours
to make the 20-mile ride from Camp
Roosevelt, and his horse was worn to
exhaustion when he reached here.
1.-THE weather is at least three
weeks behind the normal, he said.
There has been an unusual fall of
snow here this winter, but not in ten
years have l seen the conditions so
bad as this at this season."
According to Wells the camp is now
in perfect shape. 1t has been practi-
cally decided to track the game with
dogs and to follow with horses. This
is considered one of the most danger
GUS sports, and the bad condition of
the ground makes it doubly dangerous

Clothing of Children.

A certain mothers club devoted one
Of its meetings recently to the suggest
i've and profitable theme of children's
clothing. 1t does not follow, unfortu
nately, that child who is fashion
ably dressed is sensibly dressed, and
the critics found most of their horrible
examples" among the well-to-do, in
stead of among the poor. The small
boys leather CATERS, for one thing,
were roundly denounced 1t was charged
that they condemn him to stiff-legged
strut as far as possible removed from
the graceful freedom of childhood.
Nor does summer bring comfort to his
legs, or to those Of his little sister, for
the short-stocking fashion is friendly
to none but mosquitoes. Possibly
children of both sexes have a grievance
in the summer use of sandals for foot
wear, although boys who have gone
barefooted will not admit it. But I'M
doubtedly small girls might complain
of their huge, beribboned hats, the
first step toward st. Vitus dance" as
a recent writer has called them, since
to keep them on and in place is per-
petual strain on the nerves. The
melancholy conclusion of the Mothers
club was, says Youths Companion,
that the worst offenders against hy-
giene and common sense are people
who have plenty of money. Such par
ents, or some of them, make their chill
dren lead IAN almost adult life," and
the evil influence of their example af
focts many persons who wish above all
things to be wise and kind. Pos
sibly return to simplicity is needed
in this quarter. Talk Of "children's
fashions" sounds rather ridiculous
when we stop to think what childhood
should be- The only defensive prac-
tice, in the matter of clothing and
everything else was once summed up
by Maine farmer: Keep the young
ones clean and warm, and able to eat
and sleep and work and play-and en-
joy it ALL"

RoJEsTvENskY IS BOLD.

Base in Japanese Territory.

st. Petersburg, April 15.-Rojest-

ments or evade the Japanese, adds to
the expressed belief that the Russian
admiral, if Togo does not soon offer
battle, intends to seize temporary
base in Japenese territory. If it is
considered advisable he could there
await the arrival of Admiral Neboga-

1t is rumored that there is a force
of rifemen on board the Russian
transports which could be landed for
the purpose of cooperating with ma
rines in the same fashion that the
United States established base at

in view.
