LIBERIA THREATENED
WITH DISRUPTION
Intervention by United States
May Be Necessary.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Earnest ef-
forts are being made by the admins
tration to secure the appropriation of
$4,000 for the expenses of commits
mendations as to what specific action
on the part of the government is de-
sirable that will most aptly render
effective relief to that republic under
the present critical circumstances.
The necessity for this already has
been set forth in a letter which Pres
ident Roosevelt sent to congress
three weeks ago transmitting a re-
port on the subject from Secretary
Root. Supplemental to this is COM
munication received by Representa-
tive Edwin DENLY of the foreign af-
fairs committee from Assistant Sec
retary of State OLaughlin presenting
additional reasons why the appropria-
tion for the commissions work should
be made.
The state department is very anx-
ious that the appropriation be made
promptly in order that the commission
may reach Liberia before the rainy
season starts in. The success of Lii
IBERIA in self-government would, the
letter argues, give hope and courage,
while its failure would bring discour-
agement to the entire black race. If
action be not taken there is no doubt
that Liberia will not be able to main
tain itself much longer and it would
seem that the inhabitants ought to
have at least another trial, with some
direction from men developed in CIV
ilization, before being extinguished as
a nationality and placing upon their
race the opprobrium of being unfit to
govern themselves.

Dimes on Creole Dishes.

The banquet rendered the president
elect in the evening was an elaborate
affair. With 1000 subscribers at S25
a plate the committee having the af-
fair in charge directed the chefs to
do their best and spare no expense.
"A la Creole" was the line that was
followed in the preparation of the
dishes and garrets and discarded
trunks were ransacked in searches
for famous old recipes that have made
the culinary achievements of Louis
lana cooks so famous.
The day being Friday fish was fea-
ture of the feast. Here New Orleans
is at it's best, for with the great fish
and oyster producing waters of Lakes
Pontchartrain and Borgne, many
bayous and the bays and inlets and
banks of the Mexican gulf to draw
from there is a marvellous variety of
the finest fish in the world available.
The recipe for "buillabaise," one of
the principal dishes, included six
slices of red snapper, six slices of red
fish, half bottle white wine, half
lemon, six large fresh tomatoes, three
onions, three cloves of garlic and
three bay leaves. This is the dish
that drew from Tbackeray the remark
"that in New Orleans you can get a
buillabaise the like of which was
never eaten in Marseilles or Paris" :"
Other famous Creole dishes were in.
cluded in the bill of fare.

Event.

dence of Count Komura there occurred

dents of Toxic, officials Of the foreign
office and other government depart
ments and Premier Katsura.
In his address Count Komura dwelt
particularly on Japanese appreciation
of the benefits derived from the alli-

the Duty Now imposed on Cheap
Print Paper.
Washington, Feb. 13.-With the ap-
proach of the special session of con-
gress for the consideration of re-
vised tariff activities in regard to the
investigation of wood pulp and print
paper are being renewed. The select
committee on pulp and paper investi-
cation met to discuss the various mat
ters which will enter into their report
to the house.
1t is understood the committee will
recommend a considerable reduction
in the duty on cheap print paper and
probably the removal cs the tariff on
ground wood, under such conditions
as would secure the free importation
of both pulp wood and ground wood
pulp from Canada. 1t Is also the de-
sire of the committee to forbid any
export tax or other charge by Canada
upon either pulp wood ground or print
paper.
The tariff on sulphite, or soda fiber,
will not be changed, it is understood.
AS the ways and means committee,
which is preparing the new tariff bill,
has gathered considerable evidence
and information and as the RESPONSE
bility for the revision of the present
schedules will rest with that commit
tee that part of the report of the pulp
and print paper committee which re-
fers to the tariff will probably be re-
ferred to the tariff trainers in suffi-
cient time to be embodied In the new
bill
This information waaagiyen out in
an official statement by Representa-
tive Mann, chairman of the special
committee, and is understood to rep
resent the unanimous opinion of the
Republican and Democratic members
of the committee.
