the Nicaraguan matter was discussed,
and it also is intimated that the discus
sion took the form Of outlining a policy
that will cover all Central American
countries,

Washington, Dec. 5.-At noon tomorrow
the first regular session of the Sixty-first
congress viii convene. Vice President
Sherman viii preside i'm the senate and
Speaker Cannon iu the house.
There have been few sessions in re-
cent years for which there has been so
little planning among members. Ordinari-
ly Speaker Cannon and Senator AIdrich,
who speaks for the majority of the SEM
ate, have a program at the beginning OF
q session but this year they have none;
or If they have, they are not talking
about it, They are waiting upon the
President. BY common consent, apparent
ly, all are holding back until the presl-
Dental recommendations can be received,
as they viii be on Tuesday, in his first
annual message
That his suggestions viii be acted upon
is too much to say. But there IS q dis
position to accommodate him so far as
can be done, and there IS a determine
ton to hear his suggestions before en-
tering upon any effort at legislation
along lines upon which he has intimated
desire TO be heard.

4. |. LATHAM HOME
FROM SUMMER TRIP
Comes Back Feeling Well and Enthu'

H. l. Latham and his son, Clayton,
returned home yesterday afternoon
from Chicago. travelling via the Santa
Fe Mr.. Latham says he felt quite
honored at being met in Prescott by
a brass band and the entire military
force of the territory, which escorted
him to his home in Phoenix. As most
of his Phoenix friends know, Mr..
Latham spent the most of the sum
mer in the Mercy hospital, Chicago,
where he was treated to one of the
choicest operations the surgeons of
these later days have to offer. one
that brought him down so close to the
border line that he could almost look
over, but thanks to medical skill
and the best of hospital treatment in
a perfectly appointed place, when he
did start on the up grade he made
rapid recovery, and now feels almost
as strong as he ever did. II was just
month yesterday since he left the
hospital
Misfortunes never come singly,
though, and shortly before he left
for home his youngest boy was taken

Latham was the forthcoming irriga-
ton exposition in Chicago be-
ing arranged for by the Chi
cago Tribune and the railroad
companies. He believes it is a
great thing and will send thousands
of people west. He believes this
valley should be represented there and
says that Dwight B. Heard, whom he
met in Chicago, concurs with him in
the idea. He thinks this valley
should have a car load of early
oranges there for distribution. or. at
any rate, a good display of them. as
well as other products of this section,
and accompanying literature.
Speaking OF general conditions, he
says prosperity seems to be in the
saddle again in the east and all is
hustle and business. He looks for a
big influx of settlers here the coming
winter and as an indication said that
on the incoming train yesterday there
were about forty colonist tickets.
