A conference was held between Bar
on Sternburg and Secretary Root late
yesterday as the conclusion of a series
Of similar cont erences, several Of which
have been participated in by the presi-

Baron Sternburg
The extens on of the modus vivendi
for another year, with additional con-
cessions on tile part Of both the United
States and Germany, will be good news

WEAK HEART ANXIETY
Archie Roosevelt Improved, But condi-
tion is Still Very stimulants
Being Administered.

Washington, March s.--Following the
alarming symptoms yesterday there
was an apparent change for the better
in the condition of Archie Roosevelt,
the presidents son, today. The depres-
sion resulting from weak heart action
yesterday has disappeared, and the
physicians report the boKs condition
most gratifying. The president told
his callers today that Archie was
bright and cheerful and that he was
very hopeful of a successful fight
against, the disease. Archie is the
least robust of all the presidents boys,
but the attending physicians say this
his recovery. In his visit to the sick
room the president observes the same
precautions against infection that are
taken by the physicians, donning a
gown similar to those worn by them,
and washing his hands in a solution OF
carbolic acid when he leaves the apart
ilent.
Washington, March S.-The condition
of Archie Roosevelt was more encour-
aging this morning than at any time
in the last eighteen hours, tho the pa
'tient is still in very critical condi-
ton. The greatest anxiety felt by the
doctors is over the weak heart condi-
ton of the patient. DR.. Lambert is
administering heart stimulants to pre-
vent another sinking spell today
Secretary Loeb issued the following
statement this morning:
''The physicians report is that Ar
chic had a good night and his condition
is most gratifying. The president has
been with the. patient frequently, ex-
ercising the same Sprecaution as the
physician as to Infection" Secretary
Metcalf, and the Cuban minister,
called at an early hour today to in
quire as to Archie's condition.
Notwi thstanding the serious con6li-
ton Of his son, the president was in
his Office transacting business at the
usual hour this morning. It was an
nounced that the usual Friday cabine.
meeting would be held today.

Drafting Of the Topeka, kas., Club
by the Western League.

Kansas City. March s.-The drafting
of the Topeka Club by the Western
League and the action taken here
yesterday by the Western Association,
when it refused to recognize either
the draft or purchase of rights of the
Western League, promises to result in
merry base ball war. At the close
of the meeting, d. NJ. Shively, president
Of the Western Association, sent a
telegram to J. H. Farrell, secretary
Of the National Association, notifying
him Of the action taken by the Wes-
tern Association directors. In speak,
ing Of the meeting, Shively said:
IF they beat us, there's nothing to
organized base ball. When / was in
Chicago, Harry Pulliam, president of
the National League, told me that the
national commission had no jurisdic-
ton over the matter, but that as a
member of the commission, he would
vote against the drafting of the club.
Ben johnson, president of the Amer
lean League, told me that they /had
no right tc. do this thing. We will
fight it to the last ditch"

phone and Telegraph Threats-No
Women in Disturbance Admitted.

London, March s.--The house of
commons was crowded to day when
the debate on the 'woman's enfran-
chisement bill' began. The only wom-
en- permitted to be present were those
whose good behavior was guaranteed.
All the women connected with the re-
cent disorders within the precincts of
the house were specifically excluded.
Suffrage societies We're very active
thruout the morning. trying to insure
the attendance of all true supporters OF
the bill, and they claimed to have 43O
members pledged to vote for it. All
members who were considered in the
least lukewarm in the matter were
admonished by telephone or telegraph
this morning and their seats would be
endangered if they failed to fulhH
their pledges
1t is admitted many promises to sup
port the bill were given by liberals on
the supposition that the women II en-
franchised, would vote for liberal can
didates, but the return of a large con-
servative majority at the munic1pal
Pelections in London Saturday last in
which women voted, tended to, dispel
| this illusion. Since then many mem-
bers of parliament who nominally SYM
pathize with the pending bill, have
been stricken with mysterious illness
es which will not permit them to at
tend today's session of the house OF
commons There were not fewer than
sixteen motions hostile to the bill
placed on the table, while just prior
to the opening debate, a petition signed
by 1000 women was presented pro-
testing against the granting of par
limenta1y suffrage to women, on the
ground that it would destroy their in

of inclusion of women in suffrage. He
frankly stated he was not enamoured
with the present bill, because 1t would
not enfranchise to a necessary degree
the mass of working class women and
workmen's wives. He would vote for
the BILL however, as a declaration of
his opinion that exclusion of women
from franchise was not expedient,
justifiable, nor politically right.

the building.
Action Prevented, Bill Is Killed.
The debate was a repetition of the
familiar arguments for and against
female suffrage. Opponents Of the bill
held the floor until 5 o'clock, when the
sitting closed automatically. This
practically kills the bill for the present
session.

BEAR RAID CONTINUES
Market Remains in Demoralized Con-
dition-stocks Poured on the Mar
ket Regardless Of Losses-sIump in
Missouri Pacific.

New York, March s.-The stock mar
ket was thrown into demoralized
condition during the first hour Of trad
ing today by the renewal of drastic
liquidation Stocks seemed to be poured
on the market from all available
sources, with no demands to check the
downward plunge in prices. The weak
action of the market Just at the closing
yesterday tended to throw a gloomy
cast over the speculative sentiment.
Discouraged holders of stocks on mar
gins sent in orders on a large scale to
throw over the holdings and accept
losses.
Commission houses closed out ac-
counts on large scale where insult
ficient responses had been made to
calls for additional margins. The
most Sensational movement was in
Missouri Pacific, which slumped 5A
owing to doubts over the maintenance
of the dividend. The spasm of liqui-
dation subsidized before the frst hour
expired, and the market became much
quieter, with some rally from the low
level.
An extensive covering movement
among the bears caused a material re-
covery and prices established some
substantial net gains The demand at
a higher level fell away. however, -
an insignificant proportion. The bears
gathered their forces for renewed at
tack, and many stocks yielded to near
ly lowest prices of the day.
