ONE WAY OUT
Ielegrams Can Now Get to
 Seattle

The Skagwsy people can congrstn' late their friends ip Seattle, or send them messages of any kind over the wire at S6.55 per congratulatiop or per message. That is the tol! on lO' word message by way of Whitehrose, Dawson, Eagle and Valdez to Seattle. This is the only telegraph route that is open at the present time. The Dominion wire is down south of AtIiu and the cable between Skagway and Juneau is still out of commission.
 A dispatch from Skagway to Seattle would have to pass over the White Pass wire to Whiteho SC, thence over the Dominion wire through Dawson to Boundary. uear Eagle, thence over the military land wires to Valdez, thence to Seattle by the long ocean cable. Ct is got necessary to say that very few messages are being sent from Sxagway

REMARKABLE CONDITIONS
IN N. Y. LEGISLATURE

Albany. N. Y, Jan. S.-The state
legislature convened at noon today for
the 129th session. under conditions in
some ways remarkable. The closing
of one of the bitterest factional fights
for the assembly speakership in many
years; the expectation of many that
the, defeated faction would at once in
augurate a policy of reprisal; the I'M
derstanding that Senator Bracket
would introduce his long heralded
joint resolution requesting the resigna-
ton of United States Senator Depew;
the intesitv of feeling in many quar-
tiers resulting from the disclosures Of
the insurance Investigations these
drew upon the opening session today
a degree of public interest greater
and more evident than for many years
past.
There was very much more than the
usual interest in the annual message
of Governor Higgins to the legislature
which included important recOmmen-
dations as to life insurance, the mort
gage tax law, the savings bank surplus
and electoral reform.
The political atmosphere was quiet
after the speakership struggle.

that France Was in Best Con-
ditiOn in Her History.
BY Associated Press

Washington, jan Sit is believed
here that the explanation of the last
German movement VIII be found in
the fact that last July. when the Mo
roccan~ situation developed an acute
phase, the German government dis
covered France was in better con.
dition than at any time in its history.
The weakest point in the German
army system is its power Of quick mob
ilization and military experts declar-
ed that more transportation facilities
were Immediately necessary. Hence
the hurry order for new equipment, in
case any unexpected emergency shoul1
occur demanding quick mobilization

Chicago, Jan. "A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington, d. C., says.
The attitude of the Chinese toward
foreigners and foreign interests gener-
ally has become sufficiently hostile to
warrant preparations ON the part OF
the various governments for the sup
preston OF another demonstration
such as that which occurred in 1900.
The navy department has intended TO
order the battls ship Oregon back TO
the United States, but in view of the
threatening situation which has de-
veloped, instructions have been cabled
to leave this vessel in the orient.
There is 10 change in the purpose Of
the president to enlarge the battleship
squadron in Asiatic waters by two YES
vels during the coming spring.
The Chinese situation was discussed
at the cabinet meeting yesterday and
later Secretary Taft cabled General
Wood, commanding the military diyi-
sion Of the Philippines that he was 20
be reinforced that he might always
have a strong detachment in readiness
to proceed without delay 10 China IN
case American interests should be
menaced. Two regiments of infantry
and two batteries OF field artillery are
going from the United States at once
and should reach Manila by March.
The administration does not antici-
pate an uprising before that date,
but as an official said. It is utterly
impossible to predict when the Chinese
may attack the foreigners. The only
thing to do, he said, was to be ready,
and this was the determination OF the
president and his cabinet.
The troops az Manila will be within
fifty hours Of Chinese territory, and IL
it should prove necessary to land a
force in the southern part of the en-
pire, there will not be the long delay
which would enable the Chinese to
prepare for desperate resistance.
