EXTENSIVE TOUR Of
SECRETARY
ROOT
Will Circumnavigate South
America and Visit Capitals
of Continent.

Washington, April 6.-Secretary
Root has decided to extend his trip to
Rio, so as to circumnavigate South
America and to visit Buenos Ayres,
Montevideo, Santiago de Chile and
Lima.
The secretary would like to include
the capitals of Columbia and Ecuador
in his tour, but lack of time and the
difficulty of reaching Bogota and La
Paz from the seaports will prevent
him doing so.
Mr.. Root will be accompanied by
Mrs. Root and Miss Root and personal
servants only.
He expects to come up the west
coast of South America to Panama
and cross the isthmus, taking a steam
Ell from Colon to New York The trip
will begin early in July on the United
States cruiser Charleston, starting
from New York or Newport News and
will end about October /. 1t is point
ed out that the tour of the secretary
involves no diversion of the big
cruiser from her naval work, as she
was originally under orders to pro-
coed from the Atlantic to join the Pa
cific station. The secretary will stop
week or ten days at the Rio con-
ference. His stay in the other capt.
tails will be short

THE FAMINE IN JAPAN
Suffering Great. But Few Deaths
Gratitude to America.

Associnted Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
Toxic, April "a careful eXamina-
ton of conditions in the famine dis
tricts makes it clear that while the
distress is severe there has been con-
siderable eNasgeration in some of the
accounts Practically no deaths can
be directly traced to starvation. In
addition to the great shortage in the
crop, which in some places was only
per cent of the average, the winter
was exceptionally severe, and this re-
suited in Il considerable morality
among aged persons. The death rate
in these districts, however, was not
abnormally high, though it probably
would have been far greater had it
not bee for the general subscriptions
SO promptly sent, especially from the
United States.
The heads OF counties and of villages
gave theilNfree services to relief work.
The Japanese government has not left
the task to foreign charity, but has
started relief works throughout the
districts. Stores of hard tack brought
back from Manchuria have been sent
to the famine districts.
President Roosevelts appeal is re-
SultlnS IN generous responses. 1t has
been published throughout the country.
The population of Sendai has invited
Huntington Wilson, secretary of the
American legation here. and Mrs. Will
son, to visit Sendai, SO that the people
may personally return their thanks
for the relief given by the people of
the United States.
The distress in the famine districts
will last until October, but the acute
stage will be over by June, when other
crops will be harvested. The severity
of the ordeal through which the peo-
pie have passed will hardly be realized
by those accustomed to a higher stand
ard OF comfort. Eight feet of snow
covered wide tracts of country where
helpless people and their hungry child
rem covered in flinsy novels. They
have shown wonderful spirit of in
dependence and self-reliance. They
never stoop to beg. so that in numer-
Gus instances the heads of the villages
reduced the price of food. that might
have been given gratuitously, to a
third its usual cost. in order that the
recipients in paying this price might
preserve their selfrespect.

WASHINGTON DAY BY DAY.
Special Correspondence for the Evening
Times:

Special Correspondence for the Evening
Times:
Washington d. c., April PENN
sylvania's senators appear to be in a
competition to discover which one can
be the best eNemplar of the truth of
the old saying, EARLY to bed, early
to rise" etc. Pennsylvanians, and
others, for that matter, too, who have
recently had occasion to see Senator
Penrose, or, rather, to try to see him
in the evening, have discovered that
o'clock is not too early an hour to
expect the senir senator to be in bed.
Senator knox's early retiring inclin-
ationS are we'll known. Also his get
ting up be-times. The fact that his
colleague is following his example is
not SO generally known.
When Quay and Camerons were the
senators from Pennsylvania it was
safe to ask for them up to midnight,
The inquirer being pretty sure to find
both still abroad. They say Gamer
on saw more sunrises than any man
who ever lived in Washington and
Senator Quay saw good many. For
year before his death, however, his
doctor made him retire very early.
1t is safe to assert that more public
men are giving up the habits of the
owl than ever before. Too many of
them have been brought into sharp
contact with the fact that late hours,
much eating and drinking, with but
little exercise, bring men to early
graves. Members Of the diplomotic
corps are about the only exceptions.
They are owls of the most pronounced
type. Chekib Bey, the Turkish Min
lister, seldom rises before 4 o'clock in
the afternoon, and if he has breakfast
before ordinary folks are having their
dinners it is u redletter day for him.
He uses the night for his working
time. His general utility man is Ger
man professor, whose inclination is to
retire not later than 8. But the good
old doctor has found ON many oc-
caSiOns that the business of the Turk
ish Empire required his presence at
the legation as late as a. NJ Inas-
much as he holds professorship in
local college he has q hard time
of it.
General f. De V. Morrel, the tall
and elegantly groomed Representative
from Philadelphia. is engaged in the
necessary but protitless task of try
ing to reform Washington and teach
it that ways'of extravaganza are ruin
Gus. He maintains that, on the whole,
the apital of the Nation is the most
extensively governed city OF the coun-
try. OF course, Washington, through
its newspapers, comes back at him just
as hard as it knows how.
After the Generals first charge the
Washington papers resorted to the
customary eXcuse-namely, that mas
much as it is the capital of the coun-
try it has expenses other cities do not
have to bear.
That made the General mad and he
went after the Westinghouse with
more statistics than any man ought to
use on any occasion. He showed that
Washington has no expenses that other
cities have not, but that, on the con-
trary, it has no expense of holding
elections or of legislating. Congress
acts as the common council and pays
all the bills

RESULTS FOR GERMANY.
Gains and Losses OF Moroccan Policy

Assoc,n,sd Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
Berlin, April 6.-The gains and loss
es due to Germany's Moroccan policy
are being reckoned up at the Foreign
Office. That it is Germany's purpose
TO be consulted when other powers are
arranging the future OF weak states
is now regarded as established.
In face of the diplomatic resistance
of France, Great Britain. Italy, Spain
and Russia the Germans throughout
the long controversy have been COM
PEELED to recognize that they have not

Triple Alliance failed to hold Italy to
the support of Germany. The strain
of these months revealed that Italy is
in secret agreement with France, and
the Triple Alliance. although existing
as before on parchment, is considered
to be virtually ended. Diplomacy may
reconstruct the alliance at the expira-
ton OF its term, but the reliance of
Germany on the constancy of Italy has
been shaken for the present. Russia
also, whom Germany expected to re-
main neutral in the discussions of the
Moroccan questions. has been against
her. Germans, however, it is pointed
out. regard it as great gain to learn
that they cannot rely in internation-
al politics on any one except them
selves and Austria.

has obtained equal trade for the fu-
ture. and has checked for some years
the development of French political
designs.
The losses sustained by Germany,
and they are deemed great ones by
those who are opposed to her Moroccan
policy, are that~a reconciliation with
France has been delayed indefinitely,
while France and Great Britain have
been pressed closely together in their
mutual dislike of Germany.
The effect on internal opinion in
Germany of the governments Morocco

strengthen the conviction that Ger
many must continue to develop her
navy in order to be safe in future inter-
national discussions, and it has also
increased Germany's determination to
avoid the ruin of war.

RABIES ARE PREVALENT.
Number Of People Have Been Bitten
by Mad Animals.

Crookston Journal Rabies seem
to be unusually prevalent throughout
the northern counties of the state,
reports received here showing that
sheep, hogs, COWS and other domestic
animals are suffering from the dis
ease, as we'll as dogs. For a time it
was supposed that the trouble among
the dogs which has been prevalent all
winter was a sporadic outbreak of the
disease, but it now seems as if there
is almost an epidemic. The rabies
first were noticed among the dogs of
Detroit about two months ago, at which
time the young son of the county
treasurer was bitten by an animal in
fected with the disease The brain and
spinal marrow of the animal, which
was killed, was sent to the state uni
versity for examination and cultures
made therefrom caused inoculated
guinea pigs ito die from hydophobia.
The boy was taken to the Pasteur in

stringent measures were taken by the
police health authorities to prevent

ordeal, over hundred animals have
been slaughtered. Despite this fact,
however, the disease has continued to
spread. A number of sheep on the
McKinstry farm were bitten by rabid
dog and developed the disease, nearly
hundred of them dying or being
killed. Some time ago dog on the
White Earth reservation attacked
several pigs and these animals since
have died of hydrophobia. A number
of cases are reported where persons
have been attacked by supposedly rabid
animals, but SO far as can be learned
none of them have been seriously in
jured. In Norman county a cow on
the farm of a man named Hubbard
was bitten by mad dog and develop
ed hydorophobia. When the hired man
came to the barn yard where the
cow was confined the animal rushed
at him with lowered head and froth-
ing mouth and he was compelled to
Chamber to the top of haystack in
order to avoid it's attack. He was
kept a prisoner there all of the after
noon and was only released when Mr..
Hubbard heard his cries for help and
ascertaining his trouble, dispatched the
COW with a rifle.

BULLETS
Examination After Battle of
Mukden Showed Surpris-
ing Facts.

Berlin, April CDR. Schaefer of
Berlin, speaking before the German
surgical society recently on his eX-
periences during the Russo-Japanese
war, said that after the battle of Muk-
den he examined more than 1000
wounded Russians. The percentage
OF those dying from rifle wounds was
the smallest and surprisingly large
proportion of the wounded were fit
in short time for active service Three
months after the battle of Mukden half
the wounded of the army corps to
which Dr. Schaefer was attached
were cured. The percentage rose in
some regiments to 20 per cent. The
results were so surprising that Rus
sian general of division tried to for
Dir further Investigations saying that
the world would laugh at the fact
that the Japanese had beaten the Rus
SLAMS while the former were using
such miserable rifle.
