ADMISSION OF LATlN.AMERiCAN
REPUBLICS Is NOT AT
ISSUE.
RUSSIA IS INTERESTED
In Coming conference--Baron Rosen
Talks Matter Over With Root
EXPECT No Postponemcnt
OF Date.

| Washington, April 4.-Baron Rosen
the Russian ambassador, called upon
Secretary Root today at the state de
partment and informed him that he
had received from the St Petersburg
foreign office the invitation to the Uni
! ted States to attend the second Hague
conference. This invitation was
couched in French and it was neces-
sary to make translation before it
could be handed to Mr.. Root officially.
The understanding here has been
that the date would be placed some
time between the 1st and the 18th Of
June, the Netherlands goyernme mt
having stated that it could most con
veniently entertain the delegates
about that season.
No good reason is known here why
here should be any postponement be.
yond those dates, for, as far as the
South American states are concerned
they are believed to be in a position
almost Immediately upon receiving
the invitation, to comply with the con.
ditions of acceptance, the principal
ne being formally to adhere to the
articles Of the hrst Hague conyen-
ton.
Baron Rosen Active.
Baron Rosen has been charged by
his government with the conduct of
the negotiations for the adherence of
the South American states and he
has availed himself freely of the ma
chinery of the state department here
and of the opportunities he has had
to confer wit hthe resident diplomatic
representatives of Latin America.
To all of these intimation has been
conveyed by Secretary Root that In or
der to insure an opportunity to attend
the early sessions of the approaching
conference, 1t would be well for the
South American delegates not 70
await the reception of the formal invi-
tation by mail before leaving their
respective countries for the Hague
but TO be on hand at the opening OF
the conference charged with full pow.
ers to adhere to the first treaty.

Millionaire Senator's.

Colorado delights in millionaire or
multimillionaire senators. Hon. Thorn
as NJ Patterson, who retires March 4,
is a very rich man. perhaps million
aire. He will be succeeded by Hon.
Simon Guggenheim, multimillionaire.
Patterson displayed ability in the
house of the ancients, as everybody
knew he would, for he had been a
representative in congress, is a great
lawyer and editor of great newspa-
per. Let us hope that his successor,
while without experience in public af-
fairs, may demonstrate that he is a
statesman and not mere money bag.
He starts out well by giving up all con-
nection with the great smelter trust
and declares that he will not represent
a special interest or interests, but the
whole state of Colorado. There may
be doubts as to whether he can shake
off his training as a trust magnate,
but as his promises are fair people
generally will be inclined to take him
at his word Some of Colorado's multi
millionaire senators have cut fantastic
capers before high heaven, but her lat
est contribution to the senate may for
all that make his mark as valuable
public servant. Nous verrons.

River lnprovement.

God in his infinite wisdom and good
ness never youchsafed to any other
people such a magnificent and extern
sive system of waterways as we pos
sess In the Mississippi valley alone
there are $1,000 miles of navigable
rivers capable of bearing upon their
bosoms the commerce of the world.
The failure to properly improve them
is an inexplicable mystery and comes
within a Georgetown Craze Of being a
national disgrace The dream of the
statesmen of every age has been to
improve water transportation. The
chances are that il Napoleon had been
left to his own devices after the treaty
of Aix-la- Chapelle he would have con
nected the Mediterranean and the At
lantic by canal, the building of which
is now proposed, for he spent most of
the time he could snatch from war in
projecting and perfecting those inter-
nal Improvements which, next to his
code, are his clearest titles to imper
ishable renown. Among the things for
which the present German kaiser will
be most gratefully remembered by flu
ture generations of Germans are the
canals constructed and the rivers i'm
proved during his reign and under his
guidance and supervision. If railroads
had never been invented, every foot of
the 1890 miles of rivers in the Mis-
sissippi valley would now be navigat-
ed safely and profitably, but with the
Introduction of the steam car people
seemed to conclude enormously and
prematurely that they would have no
need for water transportation. Now
they are waking up gradually to the
fact that water transportation is rail-
road rate regulation Even If another
pound of freight or another passenger
were never transported by river, the
money would be well spent in making
rivers navigable in fact as well as in
theory, for the very fact that they
could be navigated safely would drive
the railroads into cheapening rates.
Various propositions are pending for
river improvement. Some urge the is
sue Of bonds; others say pay the bills
of expense out of the current revenues,
but all agree that system for com
prehensiye and continuous improve
ment should be devised at once. We
are spending vast sums in constructing
the Panama canal. which is well, but
while doing that it is supreme folly to
neglect the Mississippi, the Missouri
and their tributaries. If Holland own
ed the Missouri, she would, If necessa-
ry to render 1t navigable, build gran
lite dixie on both sides Of it from Alton
to Fort Benton and in SO doing Incl
dentalIy reclaim from overflow enough
of the richest land In the world to
