singing of~songs by Republicans in
honor Of Speaker Cannon, and by
Democrats In the interest of William
J. Bryan. The excitement, which

and the session closed with general
good fellowship among the members.
The Senate was extremely quiet dur
ing the closing hours. held together
only by the necessity of remaining
in session for the engrossing and
signing of bills.
The last days of the Senate will be
memorable on account of the fllibus-
ter of LaFollette, Stone and Gore
against the emergency currency bill,
by the remarkable interpretations of
the rules which go far. to establish
cloture in body noted for the free

AN ABANDONED PIECE OF ROAD.
Neither Anderson Nor OcOnee County
Will Claim 1t.
(Anderson Mail,)

Pendleton, June 1.--There is a
part of:the public road leading from
Pendleton to Cherry's that neither
Anderson nor Oconee counties will
work. The trouble seems to be the
tree marked (A) for Anderson and
the tree marked (O) for Oconee are
about 100 yards apart, each county
working up to these points. This
piece of road is very bad, and the
counties should locate the exact line.
Mr.. Jackson has extended to him an
invitation to come up and inspect the
work all along this road. / am sure
it is the worst job ever put on any
road in Anderson county.

 It was a business mems excursion. and as such, foolishness was forgot ten and business was the topic of the day. The five or six hundred men on board made the best of every oppor- tunity to form new acquaintances and every hour was a golden hour in nlore ways than one Those who are inter ested in knowing an outline of the de- tails should read the following:
 Minutes of the Meeting.
 There were eight coaches and all of them were full when the train left Phoenix at TAO only ten minutes af- ter the advertised hour the slight de- lay being the wait necessary for the southsiders to buy their excursion tickets. About 3S0 people were on board and four out of five were deco rated with ribbon badges bearing the legend, Boost for Salt River Valley and the Maricopa County Club" The other fifth were the tourists. tran sierts. seeking a day of pleasure and the feminine boosters who are proud to be associated with the Commercial club in the honorable roles Of wives or sweethearts.
 The excursion having been duly ad- vertised in The Republican some weeks in advance. Weather Observer JesunOfsky, who is an honorary mem Der of every organization having for its purpose the upbuilding of Arizona did his full part in providing an ideal day. It was clear enough so one could look away in some directions for a hundred miles to an irregular horizon roughly serrated by rugged moun- tain chains. now purple. grey or brown. Alternatiilg~-pea Of needle point. cone or angular formation lent constant variety to the enchanting view. even though the sombre colors predominated beyond the variegated greens and browns of the desert stretches. All that was lacking from Post Sterling's ideal picture was a pink dragon and lavender COW. And yet there were clouds enough to hide the dazzling sunshine that often obscures with it's splendor much of the scenic grandeur of the terrestrial settings of an Arizona landscape. And yet it was not poTtent of rain, at least not a serious rain. but on second thought rain is never serious in Arizona eX- cept when there isn't any.

 10 BARON TAkAHIRA
The Japanese Ambassador Cannot Understand What This War Talk Means.

New York, Feb. 16.-Baron Takahira, the new Japanese ambassador, arrived today on the EtrUria. He declared that war between the United States and Japan would be the most inhu- man event in the history of the world. Too hellish to think Of"
 Takahira said that the Japanese knew nothing of a break in the cor dial relations of two nations. The talk of war was utterlE4 Gnintelligible to him he declared unless it was spread to serve the ends of some newspapers. He regards the cruise of the battle ships as purely a naval maneuver.
 Takahira will leave for Washington tomorrow. The baron said he started on his diplomatic career as an attache in Washington thirty years ago. He is going back now as the personal rep resentative of the Japanese emperor.

fIRURIA BORE MORSE / 10 AN OFFICERS ARMS
The Banker Immediately Gave Bail in the Sum of S20,O0o and Was Re-
 leased.

New York, Feb. 16.-Charles w. Morse. who arrived on the Etruria to- day, was arrested on two charges of grand larceny involving $2OO.OOO He was arraigned bef6fe Judge Bowling and released on $20,OOO bail, furnished by a surety company
 Morse was released and went imme- diately to his Fifth avenue home where gave out a statement asserting his in nocence. Tomorrow Morse will appear before Justice Bowling and plead not guilty.
 The charge against Morse grows out of a note given him by former Chief Justice O'Brien of the appellate divi- sion of the supreme court. O'Brien is said to have deposited three notes of S10O,O0O each with Morse in payment for a block of 1000 shares of stock in the National Bank of North America. The notes were to be held three years and not discounted. According to O'Brien at the end of the three years period he was to have the privilege of consummating or withdrawing from the bargain for the purchase of the stock. It is charged that Morse dis counted one of the notes. The check given Morse in payment was made payable to O'Brien and was cashed by Morse at the National Bank of North America, Morse signing Judge O'Brien's name per C. w. Morse" Judge OiBrien it is stated refused to appear as a complainant. !

RUSSIA FEELS FREE
To Work Out Her Own Schemes in
 the Near East

St. Petersburg Feb. 16-BarOn von Arenthars reiteration of the determin- ation or Austria to build a railroad through Nevibazar as connecting link for the Austrian line through Bosnia with the Turkish line to Salon. ika and the announcement or the Ger man foreign office of its financial sup port of the plan, left no illusion here regarding the fate of the agreement looking to joint action in the Balkans negotiated by Emperor Nicholas and Emperor Francis Joseph at Muerzsteg in the autumn of 1903, and which was the ground work for the subsequent program of reform in Macedonia. The attitude of the Russian foreign office is that the agreement should be ab- rOgated and Russia left with a free hand to work out her oy&h policy in the near east.
 Negotiations are still being conduct ed to induce Austria to withdraw her railroad scheme. No hopes of sue cess are held out on either the Aus trian or the Russian side. The prin- cipal efforts at present are being de- voted to arranging a new grouping Of the p0wers. IT is thought here that Russia and Great Britain might enter into an agreement for joint action in Macedonia, these powers to be sup ported by France and perhaps Italy.
 Since the seriousness of the Russian opposition to Austria's plans became evident. hints have been thrown out from Vienna that Russia and Italy as powers most directly interested should be allowed, by way of compensation. to construct railroad lines, Italy one through Albania, and Russia a line from the Danube to the Adriatic. Both powers declined to accept the pro- posal.
 The Russian ambassador to Turkey, ZinOvioff. had a lengthy audience with the Sultan on Friday and submitted Russia's objections to the construction of the proposed road. It is confidently expected here that the result will be the postponement of the Austrian pro- ject. The impression that Austria is acting with the full cognizance and support of Germany has been confirm ed by a formal statement given by German government officials and has resulted in an Outburst of anger against that country. affecting all the circle of the Russian press and public Antagonism is felt with especial force in the army where it is felt that there is an influence back of the Turkish activity on the Persian Russian from tier which has assumed a menacing phase.

 The cabinet has not decided whether Great Britain shall act independently. but the foreign office is formulating a scheme which will be outlined by the foreign secretary in a speech on Feb. 18th. The position created by Austria is greatly regretted as it is believed that it postDonAs Macedonian reforms and tends to weaken confidence In the maintenance of peace in Europe. The official qualification to the German ambassador at COnstantinOple and to other ambassadors that Germany will no longer act with the other powers fin insisting that Turkey shall consent tO their demands. is considered the most serious phase of the question.
