MI. Taft HuPIs Friendly Taunts
 al SOdlhePnGPs HE HAD TOLD THEM 50
But in Spite of Their We'll Meant Efforts to sMake Him a Back Number He is Going to Be Their Af- fectionate President.

Birmingham, Feb. 1S. Talking through Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, President -elect Taft today had the qualification of being heart fly received by large and enthusiastic crowds who had not voted for him.
 Several times he made his appre- citation plain. At the same time, he left a touch of irony as a reminder that his predictions had surely come true and not only did the south seem willing to accept him as their presi- dent, but his greatest desire was to be the president of every man, wOm- an and child in the nation.
 There was one other burden on MT. Taft's mind today, a desire to show his utter contempt for what he termed the baseless and hurtful criti- cism Of his work being done on the Panama canal The canal remarks of Mir. Taft were delivered in an unusually aggressive manner.
 '"The Panama canal is going to be built" he declared, "and what I want you to do and what I want every American citizen to do is to stand by the men who are building it Don't set a fire in the rear; don't distrust the men who are giving up their strength and energy and enterprise to put the great work through. When you have agents who are doing your work, you stand behind them. If you don't you cannot get your work done"

IS HEARD IN ENGLAND
If It Is Well Founded This Country and Great Britain Will Remind the Bear of the Existence of the Treaty of Portsmouth.

London, Feb. 13.-The Russian mu- nicipal administration of Harbin, which China alleges constitutes the establishment of Russian territorial in violation of the Ports mouth treaty, again is receiving at tentiOn by the British foreign office
 The Chinese minister made repre- sentations on the matter to Foreign Secretary Grey, but England, being without consul at Harbin, has been unable to establish the facts.
 If, however, they are found to be as China alleges, foreign office off cials state that England and the United States will act together to represent to Russia the necessity of observing the treaty regulations. It is said that F. D. Fisher, the Ameri- can consul at Harbin, has expressed dissatisfaction at the attitude of Rus sia, which England and the United States hoped would be changed after the representations of last year.
 A diplomat well versed in the far east, said tonight: While the tax imposed on the Chinese at Harbin appears to be a small matter, it really affects the whole question of the open door in Manchuria."

.CONGEsTED IN THE SENATE
Thirteen Days in Which Eleven of Them Are to Be Passed--House Has Seven to Be Acted On-;The Knox Bill Favorably Reported.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The figure 13 dominated in the status of the regular general appropriation bills in congress today There are thirteen of these great supply bills regularly enacted each session and today, the 18th of the month, there are eleven of these measures yet to be passed by the sen ate in the thirteen days remaining of this congress on which they can be considered and enacted into law.
 Of these bills seven have not been acted on by the house. While fifteen legislative days remain, not including the 4th of March, when congress must adjourn at noon, one of these days must be devoted to eulogies and an- other to the passage of bills providing for the re-enlistment of the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth regiment who were charged with having shot up" Brownsville.
 The friends of the postal savings bank bill have not given up their ef- forts to pass it and considerable time in the senate will be consumed in dis cussing the measure. Two or three treaties are also being pressed for ratification and considerable time must be given over to executive sessions.
 The situation that faces the senate, where unlimited debate is one of the most cherished rules of that body, makes necessary a spirit of harmony and cooperation if the great supply bills are to be disposed of, practically at the rate of one each day. The naval bill which comes up on Monday, near ly always requires two days for its passage and there are many items in it, as well as in other measures. that will require time-consuming eXplana- tions, if not extended debate.
