GOV. DAvIS'S REPORT
SECRETARY TAFT RECEIVES CON-
 MUNICATION OF INTEREST.
Sanitation on Island lS Progressing as Satisfactory as That of Any
 City In the United
 states, He sayn.

Washington. Feb. 4.--Secretary Taft today received report from Governor Davis of the Panama Canal Zone. stat ing that reports of health conditions on the Isthmus are ''cruel1y exagger- ated'' and that the sanitation of Pan- anna Is progressing as efficiently as that of any city In the United States. He says the total number of yellow fever cases originating In the zone since the Americans assumed control is thirty two. of which nine have terminated fatally and six are eonvalesclng.
 General Davis says that in the opinion of Colonel Gorgas, Chief Sanitary Ohi- cer, the material and appliances for controlling the yellow fever situation have been sufficient for all require ments. Since the American occupation two smallpox cases have occurred. both of which were brought to the Isthmus and developed there. The report says there is no plague, no typhoid fever, very little dysentery and that of the A.o0O canal employees only 3 per cent. are in the hospital. whereas, the ordi- nary army hospital rate in the United States is 3.5 per cent.
 The water works probably will be completed in about three months, pend- ing which the supply from wells and springs will continue to be sold as for merly Governor Davis expressed con- fidence that the good results shown in Havana, where 1t required from Feb ruary to September to obliterate 5000 cases of yellow fever, will soon become apparent in the canal zone. The ma teriaI and appliances for controlling the situation are declared to be sum- cIent

BIG LONDON REVIVAL
AMERICAN EvANGELIsTs AT WORK
 IN METROPoLIs.
Ten Thousana Eager Voices Swell Chorus oG seTelI Mother T'Ii be TheRe.s President McKximley'@
 New Fanaomm Message.

London Feb. a.--R Royal Albert Hall, london Rr@Atqsf atditoriuni, with q seating caracity of 11.00O was well nAI- ed tonight when Reuben A. Torrey and Charles a6. Alexander. American evan gelists. opened religious revival. Lord Kinnaird. president of the evangelical counsel. presided, and those on the platforms included many prominent religious men.
 Seldom has the vast hall presented such a scene as when the audience, freely entering into the spirit of the old-time hymns, joined in the chorus and 10000 voices swelled in the well known harmonies. Mir. Torrey spoke briefly. After the hymn written be- cause of President McKinley's message to his mother when she was dying. Tell Mother I'll be There" sung as a solo by Mir. Alexander, the benediction was pronounced.
 !. The speakers included Right Rev John Taylor Smith, Chaplain General to the Forces and Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, pastor of Westminster Con- gregational Church. As a further. evil dence of the non-sectarian nature of this movement, the Bishop of London himself wrote to Lord Kinnaird, ex- tending the heartiest welcome to the Americans.
 For the last month London has been. flooded with advertising matter an- nouncing the coming of the revivalists. Already $60,00O has been collected and $25, ,00O more is needed before the pre- liminary expenses are paid, but there is no doubt a much greater sum will be forthcoming if 1t is wanted.
 The London newspapers have all taken up the revival and are printing columns of descriptive matter concern ing the principals, their methods and past achievements.
 After two months in fashionable West End. Torrey and Alexander will visit the slums of East End and thence will move north and south of the metropolis, giving five months altogeth- CT to use their own words, to ''the con- version of London"

FALSE, SAYS BARRETT
TELLS OF FITZWILLIAMs ExPEDI-
 TION TO COCOS ISLAND.
American Minister TelIs Facts fin Case and DispOses of the WiIa Rumors
 Which Have M en Circu- =,
 lating Abroad. i~

Washington, Feb, 4.-In a report to the State Department, Minister Bar Fett at Panama shows up and describes the utter falsity of the reports widely circulated in this country regarding the expedition to Cocos Island of the Earl Fitzwllliams in his watch VeroIniaue. It was reported that the vessel was carrying a supply of arms and ammu- hilton to be secretly landed on the isl. another rumor had 1t that the expedi- tion had been driven oR after a fight with the natives.
 The facts are that the Earl and his party, including Admiral Palliser, after leaving their yacht at Panama, went to Costa Rica to obtain permission tO dig for buried treasure on Cocos Isl- and. It was found that the conces- sion had been granted fifteen years ago to Mr. .Gissler, a Swede, who, with his family, lived on Cocos. The Earl en- tered into negotiations with the con- cessionaIre and directly obtained the necessary grant to use dynamite at a certain point. Workmen were landed and a heavy charge was set at the base of @ high shelving cliff. While the party were examining the result of the explosion, the upper portion of the elif covered with great boulders and Ioos- ened by the discharge, gave way and fell upon the men, burying twenty of them. Four were taken. out seriously injured and none escaped unhurt The wounded were conveyed through the water, breast high. to boats and then to the ship. which at once proceeded to Panama. arriving January 1, when the wounded were taken to the Ancon hospital.
 Later the Earl and many of his party left for Southampton; it Is said the ex- petition cost about f60i0oo.

TEA MEN MEET.
President Phelan Wants High Duty on
 Canadian Article,

 Canadian Article.
 New York. Feb. 4.--Re- enactment of the law which provided for a high duty on tea brought~into this country from Canada, which was repealed by Con- gress some time ago was strongly ad- vocated by President Thomas A. Phe- Ian at the annual meeting of the Ma tional Tea Association which was held here today.
 We have discovered that our Cana dian friends have been seeking trade along the States bordering on the di- viding line and underselling our mar ket." said President Phelan. While they have a special duty against all goods coming from the States to Can ada of 10 per cent. over and above all other duties which they Impose from other countries and which effectually forbids our seeking the markets of Canada, we have no such protection. Through a mistaken idea Of expected reciprocity. Congress repealed the law which existed for our protection. We find that the re-enactment of this law is absolutely necessary to put us on aR equality with our Canadian friends"
 The association chose Thomas A. Phelan of New York president. Among the directors named was E. B. Webster of Cincinnati.

FAVOR RUSSIAN NTHEORY
SAID THAT BRITISH CASE IS LOST
 BEFORE COMMISSION.
Rum6ra Are Conflicting, However, and In Other Quarters It Is Said That Result of Verdict WiIl Prove
 This to Be Untrue.

Paris, Feb. 4.-The close of the tes- timouy before the international com mission inquiring into the North Sea incident has been followed by rather noticeable diminution of the confidence in British circles connected with the case and a corresponding elation on the part of the Russians. The French press, which is strongly pro-Russian. gives marked prominence to state ments that the Russians have virtually won their case, the usually conserva- tive Temps and Journal asserting pos itiveIy that the majority of the court now faVors the Russian theory that torpedo boats attacked Vice Admiral Rotestvensky's squadron.
 However, inquiry in well informed quarters does not show any real basis for these reports. On the contrary in timations are made that the tendency within the court is rather in the oppo- site direction. The reports favorable to the Russian view appear to result mainly from the positivenesS of the testimony of Captain Clado and other Russian officers that they saw torpedo boats attack the Russian squadron: whereas the strongest British wit nesses did not swear that no torpedo boats were there, but merely that they did not see them there.
 
 among the audience in the court that the commissioners were likely to ac- cept the directness of the Russian wit nesses rather than the qualified nega- tive given by the British fishermen. However, those intimately familiar with the commissioners say that this impression is not warranted, as the commissioners being naval technicians are disposed to differ from Captain Clado on a number of the most inn portant technical points. These per- tain chiefly to his ability to see a tor pedo boat at night two miles away and his statements concerning the effects of searchlIghts. It is known that some of the commissioners consider Captain Clado's statements to be at variance with the accepted principles of naval science. How far this will influence their ultimate verdict is not yet clear, but it appears to show that the commissioners do not share the prevailing impression that Captain cIado's testimony was decisive.

 gun at Berlin,
 Berlin. Feb. 4.--Emperor William opened the international automobile exposition here today which in pro- fessIonal opinion is far better than the expositions of the last three years. The Emperor. with Prince Henry of Prus- sia and seven other attendant princes and the Duke of Ratibor, President of the automobile club. spent nearly two hours in examining the new models and variations of old models. The Elm peror had three of his own machines on exhibition.
 The public today for the first time saw the uniform of the newly orga- nized volunteers corps of automobile owners. a fresh addition to the Ger man army. They were in olive green uniforms not unlike in cut to those of the United States army officers.
 Observers from Paris said that while the exposition was not equal to that of Paris, 1t was excellent, and that the German automobile industry could contest with Great Britain and the United States for second place.
 Italian machines and those of Bel gian and French makers are we'll rep resented.

COOKERS ADDRESS.
"NegrO Problem as Educational PrOb-
 lem fB Diacuaaed.~

lem Ia D19Cu@9eusN
 Philadelphia, Feb. 4.--Booker T. Washington tonight delivered an ad- dress before the American Academy of Political and Social Science on The Negro Problem as an Educational Problem" He made a strong plea for the development of the negro race mentally and manually. He said:
 "The causes of colored people at the South are very much in the position of race who are entering upon life In a new country. The problems con fronting a race .who are laying the foundations of a living in new ter ritory relate mainly to the securing of land, the building of homes. the pro- duction of food and the securing of ed- ucation. It Is because of these con- ditions that I advocate the great tm- portance of education, not only Of the head and heart, but of the hand.
 "In many respects the next twenty years are going to be the most serious in the history of the race. Within this period 1t will be largely decided wheth- CT the negro IS going to be able to retain the hold which he now has upon the industries of the South, or whether his place will be filled by white people from a distance. The only way that we can prevent the industries slipping from the negro in all parts of the South is for all the educators, minis ters and friends of the negro to unite to push forward, in whole-souled manner, the industrial, or business de- velopment of the negro. either in school or out of school. or both.
 "It is cruel in many eases to in- crease the wants of the black youth by mental development alone. without at the same time increasing his ability to supply these increased wants along the lines in which he can find employ ment. ..,
 Every white man will respect the negro who owns a two-story business block in the centre of the town and has $5,00O in the bank. When a black man is the largest. tax payer and owns and cultivates the most successful farm in his county, his white neighbors will not object very long to his voting and to having his votes honestly counted. Tho black man who is the largest con- tractor in his town and lives In a two- story brick house is not likely to be lynched."

 Consular ApproprEati0na.


 Washington. Feb. 4.--The House to- day passed the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill, carrying $2107,04I. which is an Increase for this service of S7s,7 over the current appropriation. A number of minor bills were disposed of by unanimous consent The debate, while the diplomatic bill was under consideration. was very brief and was devoted to railroad rate legislation and reciprocity treaties
 Before final action on the diplomatlc and consular bill was taken. Mir. Thomas (N. C.) was given the floor for fifteen minutes. which he occupied in advocating action by the Senate on pending reciprocity treaties and espe- cially that between the United States and France.
 Replying briefly to the argument foF reciprocity by MT. Thomas. MT. Gfos- venor obtained permission to hle Hfa { tlstics, which he said would show that in our relations with Canada VIC had no profits under reciprocity, but ahunds ant profits without 1t.
 Among the bills passed was one to construct dam and reservoir on the Rio Grande River near Eagle, N. M.s for irrigation purposes in New Mexico and Texas.
 The House then adjourned.
