them with vigorous monotony, while

come.
Passing through the market amid
delirious enthusiasm on the part of the
welcomers, the Roosevelts entered a
small cart that had been prepared to
carry them to see the sights of the
city. They started on their tour pre-
ceded by an escort of scarlet backed
police on camels and followed by a
large company mounted on horses and
donkeys. A deafening noise greeted
them everywhere.
On arriving at the parade ground the
party found the Twelfth regiment Of
Sudanese infantry drawn up for Colo

dan negroes made an imposing show
in their khaki uniforms and tarbushes
with yellow cockades.

tin Pasha and the other officers on
the martial bearing of the troops.
The party then went to the bazaars,
where Mrs. Roosevelt and Ethel made
purchases of the many native wares.
A short visit was made to the gov
ernment school. where Colonel Roose-
welt addressed the pupils briefly. He
also addressed deputation of the
leading merchants.

STRIKERS EXPECT TO WIN.
Only Question In Philadelphia Is as to
Disehareing Nonunion Men.

Philadelphia, March II. United
States Senator Boise Penrose arrived
here today, and the betting is ? to
that announcement will be made OF
the settlement of the car strike with
in twenty-fOur hours.
The Rapid Transit company and the
striking carmen are still comforting.
The real stumbling block in confer
ences between representatives of the
company and OF the strikers is the
question as to whether all of the men
shall be taken back.
Clarence Wolf, vice president Of the
company, talked the matter over with
Clarence o. Pratt, leader of the car
strikers Pratt made a definite propo-
sition. He said that the transit com
pany would not be asked to recognize
unionism provided 1t agreed to take
back in employment all of the men
who went out. The only specification
the Amalgamated union insisted on
was that hereafter the transit com
paby deal with the union through a
committee
If, as is now believed, peace will be
patched up on these terms the com
pany will have to discharge all OF the
strike breakers hired since Feb. 10,
perhaps 1000 men.

MAINTENANCE OF OPEN DOOR
Commercial Equality, With the
United States Giving Moral
Support to Japan In Man
churia, Is Suggested.

Washington, March 17.--Japan has
sent to its embassy here proposals to
be submitted to the state department
looking to an understanding between
Japan and the United States so that
the two countries may together domi-
nate the far east and maintain the
"open door" as well as guarantee com
mercial equality to all nations.
The proposals will be so presented
that their conditional consideration or
even rejection will not affect present
diplomatic relations. The proposals
which will he submitted to the state
department are as follows:
First-That formal understanding
by note or treaty looking to the con
sOlidation and maintenance of the gen.
eral peace in Asia. especially along
the Pacific shores, is advisable: the
preservation Of common and mutual
interests in China by maintaining Chi
nese integrity and commercial equali-
ty in conjunction with the provisions
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance: the
continued maintenance of the fisheries
rights of both countries in the regions
of the Bering straits. Philippines and
Saghalien
Second.-That whenever, in the opin-
ion of either government, any of the
rights or interests of either party are
in jeopardy one of the parties will
communicate with the other, and they
shall consider in common the measures
TO be taken TO safeguard all menaced
interests and rights.
Third.-That safeguards be taken for
the interests OF both nations and of all
those nations that were signatories to
the Hay note. In case of unprovoked
attack or aggressive policy this agree
ment is to be effective no matter what
government shall develop belligerency.
1t is further proposed that Japan shall
agree to be morally bound to make
peace in mutual agreement providing
the United States recognizes the right
of Japan to take such measures of
guidance, control and protection of
Chinese Manchuria and the Pacific
basin as she may deem proper and
necessary This is with the under
standing that Japanese procedure Will
be in consonance with the principles
of equal opportunities for the com
merce and industry of all nations.
The japanese view Of the proposals
is that the principles involved are the
guarantee for time permanent Of the
theory and practice of the ''open door"
as originally set forth by the Ameri
can government; that Japan recognizes
the difficulties attending the settle
ment Of question in which six pow
ers are directly interested In less than
ten years, that Japan does not consider
the foreign suspicion that she wishes
permanent retention of the Japanese
Manchurial railway and that Japan is
ever ready to agree to maintain and
enforce commercial equality in China

manded and accepted a bribe of 1000
from the bridge interests on the clos
ing day of the legislative session on
April %, 1901, been sustainedT'
This was determined when it was
finally agreed that counsel would be
able to sum up next Tuesday and
Wednesday. There was disposition
at first to have the senate vote on the
charges next Wednesday night or
Thursday but Senator Cobb, the Re
publican leader, declared that no sin
gle senator had been able to sit
throughout the trial and hear every
bit of the testimony and that several
senators had requested him to see that
there was an intermission of a few
days between the summing up of coun-
sci and action on the charges by the
senate itself so they could look over
the testimony.
Conger's attorneys put two hand
who disputed the testimony of DR..
Hamilton, the expert who testified in
behalf of Aids that the Moe check
stub had been tampered with.
Senator Conger was recalled by Mr..
Osborne and questioned regarding his
letter to Aids shortly after the legis-
lature adjourned in 1901. He explain
ed that his complimentary words to
Aids were merely those OF ordinary
epistolary courtesy.

has had himself interviewed on the
necessity of this investigation, and
last week he let the senate know he
was still on the job by giving notice

move to suspend the rules so that the
senate could take his investigating res
olution from the finance committee
and pass it at once.
Anticipating the day when he is to
make his motion to pass his investi-
eating resolution in spite of the rules.
Senator Newcomb said today:
There are several matters referred
to on the record OF the Aids trial not
pertaining to his guilt or innocence
which the legislature will naturally

San Francisco, March l7.-Tommy
Ryan, who taught Jeffries how to fight
scientifically, has been engaged to train
Jack Johnson for the big fight next
July. Ryan was formerly middle
weight champion and one of the best
boxers in the ring.
This move by the negro pugilist will
hardly be relished by Jeffries for the
reason that the latter has been at
swords points with Ryan for many
years. Ryan went down to Allenhurst,
n. j., when Jeff was training for the
first fight with Fitzsimmons in 1899
and instructed the Californian in the
art OF self defense. Ryan practically
cut JEFF TO pieces while giving these
valuable lessons, but that was the
only way 10 teach the boilermaker

and Jelfries had quarrel over money
matters. and they have been bitter
