REFORM BY ROOT.
None But Americans Sent Out as Con-
sular Officers.


Washington, d. q, Nov 17.Not a
single foreigner has been appointed to
the American consular service abroad
since Secretary Root assumed Office, with
the intention of meeting the demands
of the business world for a general inn
provement OF the consular system as far
as he can without waiting for congress-
ionaI action. This marks one of the
reforms that the secretary has adopted.
Secretary Root feels that it Is his duty
to 'put none by Americans on guard. I"
Aside from the fact that foreigner
might naturally be expected to take less
interest than an American in the de.
velopment OF our trade abroad, it is felt
that in time Of political stress, where in
ternational relations might become
strained, no such test should be placed
upon the loyalty OF the foreign consular
agent to his native country as would
be imposed by requesting him to do his
duty to the country which merely em-
ploys him.
So although anumber ofvaeaneies have
occurred III these minor places since Sec
rotary Root assumed office be has held
consistently to the policy above laid
down, and where it has not been possible
to secure Americans to fill the vacancies
the Offices have been allowed to remain
vacant.
OF course the vacancies cannot con
tinue indefinitely, but the secretary
hopes that with the pressure Of the bust
ness world behind him Congress will
yield to his appeal for more liberal com
pensation for these small ports so as to
enable him to send ont American off
|cials.

Yale and PRINCETON.

Armies OF coaches almost are working
over the Yale and Princeton teams to get
them right 70 next Saturday. Yale real
ICES that Princeton, no matter how weak
she NAV be early in the season, is a hard
team for Yale to whip. And Princeton
thinks the same of Yale. And to say
the least, the harder the advance work
and the greater the preparations, the
more flattered team on whose account
they are being taken should feel. So
the tiger and the bulldog have ample
reason to feel proud and naughty Just
now. 1t is the game, however, that will
take this out Of one of them.

MESSAGE
FORCEFUL
President Has Revised and
All Ready for Congress.
HAD EMINENT COUNSEL
Result Win Be Seen in the Careful
Wording of the Several Recon-
mendations Which He
Makes.

Washington, Nov. 17.-President
Roosevelt has completed his message.
In about 10000 words he will convey
his ideas to congress the first Monday
in December. The message is expected
to be more emphatic than that of last
year.
The president has been giving the
final touches to the message in proof
this week. He has been especially care
full about that part of the document
dealing with the rate question. Last
year the language used ON the rate leg
islation question brought out some eriti-
cism. The recommendation he makes
this time will be carefully worded He
has advised with Senator Knox in the
last few days, and he has also counseled
with other able lawyers, so that what
he has to say will represent the product
Of great amount of thought and sug-
gestion from eminent authorities.
The vital part is we'll understood to
be that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission or some government body should
have power TO replace an unreasonable
rate with maximum reasonable one.
Insurance legislation viii receive care
full attention. Last year the president
merely urged Congress carefully to con.
slider whether the power Of the bureau
Of corporations could not be extended
to cover insurance as interstate COM
merce. This year he win recommend
legislation. He is understood to feel
that insurance can be regarded as in
terstate commerce. or at least that to
enact a law on the subject and bring
a test in the courts is the only accurate
way Of determining whether constitu-
tional amendment il necessary.
Passage of a law against corrupt prac-
tices in elections will be urged. The
subject of corporations and trusts is ex-
pected 10 receive considerable attention.
The general belief is that on tariff the
president win say little or nothing.
Statehood viii be recommended for Ok
iahoma and Indian Territory and for
Arizona and New Mexico. The Panama
canal win be discussed and needed legis-
lation urged. One recommendation viii
be that the Panama bonds be given a
show in the market by having the circu-
lation based on them subject to the same
tax as the other United States consols.
Ratification Of the San Domingo tTea-
ty win be recommended, and it will
be pointed out that the present financial
arrangement has worked well. Preserya-
ton Of Niagara Falls win be advocated.
A liberal appropriation for the James
town exposition in 1907 will be fay-
ored.
Venezuela, naturalization laws, the
big navy, and the Philippines, will be
among the other subjects on which the
president will have important ohserya-
tons.

A Three=Toed Horse.

The first official bulletin des-
criptive of the fossils unearthed
by the exhibition of the John Day
region, in Eastern Oregon, has
been published by the geology
department at Berkeley. 1t des-
cribes some af the strange crea-
lures that dwelt in the country
known as the Bad Lands. Among
these remarkable beasts are ex-
tinct pigs and peccaries as large
as cows, camel-like quadrupeds,
and, not the least Interesting, the
famous three-toed horse.
The "Elotherium" or giant
hog, is a monster mammal nearly
ten feet long and six or seven
feet high.
Three-fourths of the remains
of animals found are of the pecu.
liar hoofed beasts named "Oreo
dons,'' part deer and part hog
These varied in size from that o
a dog to that of a small cow.

Com mittee Meeting.

Monday evening the water
committee took action On the
matter OF floating water bonds to
the extent of $75, 600. They
also heard the report of their
engineer, 6. N. Miller as regards
the last survey of the route made
by him from Rock Creek to Cor
wallis. 1t is figured as the result
Of the late survey that the plant
can be established and leave a
working margin of something
like 5000.
In selling bonds it is estimated
that they will find ready market
in the East at 4 per cent interest
It is thought 80 days will be
necessary to determine this mat
ter; however, the date of open
ing the bids for bonds has no
yet been set.

task of making out specification

Russian Names Pronounced.

In consequence Of a dispute as TO
the proper pronunciation of the name
of the Russian Admiral, 4 question was
sent to the editor of the Moscow Ga
zette, who replied as follows:
The accent lies on the syllable "uest.'
There are plenty of Russian and Polish
names ending in "sky," but it is only
the Polish which necessarily have the
tonic accent on the penultimate syi
liable. So we have Obolensky, butNa'
mensky, Meshchersky and Gagorinsky'
Roidestvensky is q purely Russian
name. common enough in clerical cir
cles. It is derived from the word Roj'
destvo, Birth (of Christi. and signihes
belonging to the Church of the) Birth
In familiar parlance, the name is very
generally pronounced Raschesinski-l'
q. the unaccepted 20" Of the first syl'
liable is, according to rule, given an
"a" sound; the 81" is softened into a
French 81" and the pumultlmate "e'
is changed into q short 81" This alone
is sufficient to show that this syllable
is not of any tonic value.
The following correct pronunelatiors
of a few well-known Russian names
may be added: Nebogatoff, k~uropati'n'
Batianoff, Gapa, Linicvich, Makaroh,
Pobedonostzef, M%ishchenko, MhraTieh

The Cruel

There would appear to be no season
Of the year in which calamity in some
form does not lie in wait for cattle left
TO shift for themselves on the great
plains. In winter they slowly perish
from long-cOntinued cold and lack of
food. In the spring storms destroy
the young and the less enduring OF
the older stock. Later they perish
from summer and autumnal droughts.
The indications are that the range
steer is going out of existence in a
similarly perverse way. With him
goes the cowboy, the most picturesque
figure of an immature Western civiliza.
ton. He gave us some fine types. Did
not Roosevelt himself develop from a
cowboy?
But eve Roosevelt to-day condemns
the range system, with its wastefui
use of land and it's necessary monopo.
lies. as we'll as its cruelties. So it will
not be long ere the spectacle of cattle
peSishing III thousands as the result
Of a heartless system will have be-
come something of the past. The
western stockman" will have become
q farmer.-St. Paul Pioneer-Press
