AT LINCOLN'S TOMB
President TAFT LAYS LARGE
WREATH AS BIRTHDAY
MEMORY TRIBUTE.
In Neat Speech at Springfield Calls Him
and Washington the Greatest Presi-
dents-Lincoln Centennial Associa-
ton Gave Great Banquet-Taft and
Littleton Principal Speakers.

Springfield, H., Feb. 11.-President
Taft came to Springfield today for a
dual purpose. The first of these was to
place wreath on the tomb of Lincoln
and to pay tribute to the memory of
the 'great emancipation.
''He was the greatest citizen of your
state" said the president, "and with
Washington, the greatest president of
the United States.'
Mr.. Taft s second purpose was to
drive home the purpose of reciprocity.
The banquet of the Lincoln Centen-
NAL association was the largest ever
held in Springfield. In addition to the
president the Speakers included Mar
tin w. Littleton of New York.
Mr.. Taft S speech at the banquet was
confined solely to Lincoln, as was also
that of Mr. Littleton. Neither touched
upon politics.
President Taft IS plan for Canadian
reciprocity is likely to receive indorse-
ment by the Illinois legislature, despite
Speaker Cannon S avowed opposition.

ARCHBISHOP RYAN DEAD.
Great Catholic Priest of Philadelphia
Succumbs.


Philadelphia, Feb. 12.-Serene and
to meet his God, whom he had
served so well, the Most Rev. Patrick
John Ryan, D. D., LII. D., archbishop
of Philadelphia, and one of the great
archbishops on the American continent,
passed peacefully into eternity Satur-
day afternoon. He was one of the
foremost pulpit orators in the Catholic
church in this country.
The archbishop was born in Thurles,
County of Tipperary, Ireland, on Feb
ruary 20, 1881. His ancestors on the
paternal side were originally the
Organs, who figure in Irish history.
His parents died when he was very
young, and his youthful education was
received from the Christian brothers at
Aries. Young Ryan studied at the Car
low seminary, and later came to this
country, going to st. Louis, where he
was appointed a professor in Caron.
delet seminary.
On September 8, 1853, he was or
dained a priest by Archbishop Ken
drick. In 1856 he was made rector of
the st. Louis cathedral and four years
later was placed in charge of The An
nunciation. In 1879 Father Ryan was
consecrated coadjutor at st. Louis with
the right of succession and in 1884 he
was appointed archbishop of Phila-
delphia.

DER OF MEXICO.
Diaz Government Troops AS Yet Fail to
Appear on Scene-Mexican Rebels
Apply the Torch to Guardhouse At
Mexicali-They Are Keeping Close
Watch For Federal Troops en- Route.

Calexico, Cal, Feb. 13.-The Mexican
guardhouse, located just across the iu-
ternational line at Mexicali, was burn
ed to the ground by the insurrectos,
Sunday morning.
This was done in fulfllment of
warning given the federal officials by
the insurrecto leaders when they evac-
uated Mexicali, II days ago, that if any
attempt was made to resume the col
lection of customs the building would
be destroyed upon the return of the
insurrectos.
The alarm of fire was given by SEN
tries in the camp of the United States
troops less than block away from the
burning buildings, but none of the sol
diers crossed over, strict orders having
been issued to remain on United States
territory.
No federal soldiers have appeared,
and the rumor that Mexican troops had
appeared across the desert between
Picachos pass and New River, proved
groundless. In anticipation of the
troops appearing, the insurrectos had
posted sentries toward the desert.
Recruits to the insurgent force are
constantly being received. The state
ment was made today that the insur-
gents have so men in the Cocopas noun
tans, where they can keep close watch
on the passes through which federal
troops may come from Ensenada to
Mexicali. Berthold has secured the
services of nearly 100 Cocopa Indians
to act as scouts and guides through the
mountain district, and it is believed
the insurgent scouts are keeping Leyva
well posted on the movements of the
federal soldiers.
The signal service corps of the United
States army has sent a detachment of
eight men to Yuma and three to Calex
leo to establish wireless stations. 1t
is expected that stations will be estab
lished at points about 80 miles apart
from Yuma to San Diego. In this man
ner the United States government will
be able to keep in touch with the situa
ton in northwestern Mexico.

NEVER MEANT TO REFORM.
Liberals Find Prophecies of Lords Con.
firmed in Lack of Definite
Action.

London, Feb. 14.-Despite the strong
recent declarations of the Times and
Observer that the lords will reform
themselves, the Times now announces
that the unionists will not introduce a
self-reform bill in the house of lords
The liberals say that as it is they have
no scheme upon which the peers and
other unionists are agreed. The back
woodsmen prefer veto bill to such an
inhalation as is proposed by Lord
Lansdowne. Lack of initiative in this
matter exposes the lords to the charge
that they never really meant to reform
The best opinion now is that the peers
will back down and in the end accept
the veto bill

OPPOSE RAILROAD BILL.
Boise Paper Takes Census on Pending
Railroad Commission Bill.

Railroad Commission Bill
The Boise Statesman says:
The statewide canvass of the pend
ing railroad commission bill indicates
heavy majority in the state against
it, especially among the business men.
Livestock men favoring the bill seem
to have more complaint because of de-
layed trains, feeding arrangements, etc,
outside the state, than because of rates.
The canvass of editors shows: For
the bill, ~; against the bill, 81; non
committal, 20.
The legislative canvass shows: For
the bill, senate, 9; house, 25; against
the bill, senate, IL; house, 80; in doubt,
senate, 3; house, II.
The canvass of business men shows:
For the bill, 1888; against the bill, 2,OO6;
noncommittal, SIG.
The republican state platform con-
tanned a platform promising enact
ment of such law. The party's can
didate for governor was defeated
largely on this issue. Those opposing
a commission point to that fact as JUS
tifying their claim that the people do
not want such a law. The republicans
won majority in each branch of the
legislature, however, and this has been
used to show that the people do want a
railroad commission.

Gently in defense of the wives of Chi
cago millionaires against structures ut
tered by Andrew Carnegie on "Idle
Wives of Millionaires to body of
young working women in New York.
Mrs. Erskine M. Phelps, Mrs. Ray
mond Robins, Mrs. Cormeny Shaw
Stone and several other prominent
women came to the rescue of the class
that Mr.. Carnegie declared to be blam-
able for the reproach that lies in the
title of eide rich
Mr.. Carnegie said: "Most million
aires wives are unhappy. They have
too many luxuries and too few mental
resources. Some of my partners have
been unjustly criticized for faults that
were not theirs, but their wives'''
Discussing the broad general state
ment attributed to the iron master,
Mrs. Coon said:
1T strikes me as unfortunate that
man of Mr.. Carnegie's positive genius
in certain directions should express
such opinions. The wives of Chicago s
rich men, with so few exceptions that
these may be considered negligible,
are deeply interested in everything
that goes to enhance the welfare of
society.
"'For instance, Mrs. F. Mccormick is
approachable at any time by any of
the Chicago women who are workers
in either organized or unorganized
charities. More than that, Mrs Nc
Cormick is actively interested, having.
L should think, as heavy a list of
strictly useful activities as any woman.
"Mrs. Laverne w. Noyes is another
whose active work for the advance
ment of humanity may be pointed to,
and Mrs. Potter Palmer, no matter in
what part of the world she may find
herself, is invariably the center of a
band of women devoted to aiding
those less fortunate than themselves.
[ think the remarks of Mr.. Carnegie
can not be applied to Chicago women
of wealth. They are for the most part
an intellectually busy lot.'''
