pOintment Among Those Held Up

Washington, March 2O.-The spe.
cial session of the senate adjourned
Saturday without day. All of the
nominations sent in were confirmed
with the exception of five, the most
important of which was that of Judge
James Wickersham to succeed himself
as judge of the district court of Alas
ka. Several unimportant treaties were
ratified, but beyond these matters no
legislative business was transacted.
Most of the session was devoted to
the Santo Domingo question and the
consideration of a treaty under whic b
it was proposed that the United States
SHOULD take over the control of the
financial affairs of the Dominican gov
eminent in order to pay its indebted
ness.
No motion was made to recommit
the treaty and it was allowed to re-
main on the calendar. 1t will be the
pending business in executive session
when the senate convenes whether it
be in special or regular session.

COMPROMISE ON SCHOOLS.
Canadian Ministry Said to Have Fixed
Up Differences.

Ottawa, Ont, March 2O.-The edu-
cational clauses in the autonomy bill
will not be referred to the privy coun-
Gil. A settlement has been reached,
and Liberal members of British Co.
lumbia and the Northwest will sup
port the bill, but just what that settle
ment is has not been announced yet,
though it is said the schools will re-
main as at present. The premier dis
appointed those in the house of CON-
mons, making no definite announce
ment
1t can, however, be said with every
degree of certainty, and is concurred
in by ministerial and all Canadian pa
pers, that an understanding has been
reached which will insure for the au-
tonomy bill the unanimous support Of
the Northwestern Liberal mem ers,
and hence in some measure at least
Laurier has agreed to change the
clauses and concede certain points.
With the Northwest ministerialists sup
porting the bill the carrying is assured.
Supporters of the government from
Quiet provinces Jake Cne GROUND CuaC IL
the Northwesterners approve the pro-
visions of the autonomy bill no reason
exists for criticism on the part of 9TH
ers.
The settlement may pave the way
for the return to the cabinet of Hon.
Clifford Sifton. The mem bers of the
cabinet, who Pre- all sworn to secrecy,
are the only persons aware OF the terms
of the settlement.

MANY COMING west
Railroad Equipment Will Be
Heavily Taxed the Next
Few Weeks.

Chicago, March 2O.-For the first
two weeks after March l, when the
homeseekers' rates to Pacific coast
points were put into effect, travel was
light on most of the roads. During
the lasb week, however, the tide has
turned and a rush set in which prom
Uses to tax the equipment Of many of
the Western trunk lines.
From the Northwest word has been
received that movement has begun
which promises to increase largely the
population of North Dakota, Montana,
Idaho Washington and Oregon.
Prospective settlers are now passing
through St. Paul over the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern by train
loads. Through Chicago they are also
passing, seeking homes in the Middle
and Southwestern states, by way of
the Northwestern, Milwaukee, Santa
Fe, Union Pacific and Southern Pa.
cific.
New York. Pennsylvania and Ohio
are all contributing many practical
farmers who are said to be supplied
with sufficient money to enable them
ito develop new farms.
Western trunk lines for several years
have been disseminating literature
concerning the irrigated lands in the
West and from the character of the
numerous inquiries they are now re-
ceiving from Eastern farmers it is evil
dent that they are reaping the benefit
of their campaign.
As further inducement to settlers
the Western trunk lines have made
special freight rates on settlers effects.
Until May Is, westbouDd carload rates
on agricultural implements, farm ma
chinery, seed grain, livestock and 9TH
or property of settlers, for actual use
and not for sale, will be half those
which prevail usually. This conces.
sion is having an important effect on
the movement and is resulting in the
shipment of many cars of equipment
with which to begin agricultural op-
eratiOns.

Believed the Buttle of Mukden
VIII Be a Potent Histor-
seal Factor.

London, March 2O.-Now that the
full measure of the Russi An disaster in
Manchuria is understood Europe is be-
ginning to take stock of the new situa-
ton in the world of politics created by
this momentous conflict. The battle
of Mukden is universally recognized as
political factor which must have an
inestimable influence in shaping the
history of all great peoples.
The changes which it will impose
upon the existing international rela-
tionship is receiving the attention of
European statesmen. They see first
that the Paralysis of Russia in Asia
will release China, Turkey, Germany
and Great Britain from enormous
pressure. This effect, except in the
case of Turkey, will make for peace
and should ennble Europe to make a
great reduction in arvmaments, with
corresponding relief of public burdens.
Peking will be removed from Rus
sian domination, although perhaps
threatened by other mentors, and Ger
many will no longer be threatened by
the invasion of both her frontiers,
while the Anglo-Saxon entente has
been much strengthened by the init
mate understanding between Great
Britain and France. The United States
will PROFESSIONALLY become perhaps
the controlling factor in safeguarding
the worlds peace.
Free Russia would undoubtedly
abandon the mad dream of dominating
the Pacific, but she would certainly
concentrate her energies to secure a
more natural outlet in the Mediterra
mean. This means the driving of the
sultan out of Europe. The indications
are Abdul Hamid will not wait for
such a crisis. European diplomacy is
anxiously occupied at the present mo-
ment with the problems of how to pre-
vent him Selling the opportunity of
Russia embarrassment to settle old
scores in Macedonia and against Bull
garia.

remarkable impartiality In the selec-
ton of her victims. many OF them
being European-could not be toler-
ated by the United States. The shade
Of the late James Monroe would rise
in indignant protest at the mere sug-
gestion. If there Is any adjusting to
be done II Is clearly the privilege OF
the United States to do 1t. There does
not seem to have been the slightest
objection to that way out Of the tift1-
Guilty. 1t Is most satisfactory to the
foreign creditors, and the DOminlcans
themselves were 80 enthusiastic over
the proposition that they tried at once
to borrow more money on the strength

to restore the republic to condition

those to American citizens receiving
first attention. Reduced to its final
