Prospect of Legislation.

Now that the financial doctors at Wash.
inEton have located the seat Of the coun"
try's business cancer in Wall street, 1t
Is obvious that one OF the principal re-
forms the Democratic administration and
congress will undertake and push vlgor-
ously after they assume control OF the
government in March will be TO eradi-
cate. root and branch. this parasite that
for go many years insidiously has been
poisoning the countrys business body.
State legislatures have cssayed the task
in vain, just as surgeons have failed to
cure cancer In the human being by using
the knife wherever the disease nanifesta
itself.
The thrush OF money To Wall street
from the large and small banks in every
nook and Granny Of the country, is caused,
IL has been shown, by the call loan sys-
tenn here; and th!s constitutes the basis
upon which the admitted evils OF stock
speculation and manipulation are main
talned. The annual report OF the treas
ury issued Saturday shows that New York
banks have been more prosperous this
year than ever before, thus deronstrst-
ing in a new way that the peoples saw

Homestead Legislation.

AS TO homestead law legislation, the
secretary says he is still of the same
opinion, in spite of a somewhat differ
ent law passed last June, that "tbe
homestead settler should be excused
from the necessity of residing upon his
land during the first two years after
entry, provided he substituted for resi-.
dence during that period the improve
ment and cultivation of a substantial
portion of the ground The law
passed, he says, is being administered to
encourage as much as possible the bona
fide settler.
The whole development of Alaska, he
reports, is waiting largely upon the
passage Of suitable legislation for the
development of It's transportation ia
cilities and Of its coal lands.
AS TO the reclamation service. he says
the problems confronting that bureau
"are rapidly becoming those OF admin
istration rather than engineering. FL
naucial and technical questions of build
ing shrink into insignificance compared
with the more difficult human problem
Of dealing with thousands of settlers
and OF inducing them to take action

Recent Letter,

One OF the ambassadors last letters
was written Dec. to Robert Donald,
editor of the Daily Chronicle, and a
member OF the .Anglo-American peace
centenary. II began: 'I am finding
once more this week that there is never
a convenient moment for being Ill, but
nothing has troubled me so much since
the breakdown three or four weeks ago
that followed rny oVerwork in the autumn
and early winter as TO learn that the
physicians VIII not consent TO my at
tending the public meeting at tne man
sion house to help tnausurate your

anniversary Of peace between our two
countries. I especially wish TO be pres
ent, because 7 regard this as an event
of enormous importance and I think that
failure 10 give Il such celebration
as should challenge the attention of
the whole world would be a crime"
After congratulatlnG Mr., Donald on
his work and writings In behalf Of the
celebration, the letter continued:
If I dared to promise to be present
at the lord mayors meeting would

Land Classification.

The secretary emphasizes the recon-.
mendatlou made In his annual report
last year for the need of comprehen-
sive land classification and Of admin
istratiou based thereon. The existing
statutes, he says, attempt to recognize
in very general and ineffective way
the fundamental differences between
the different classes of agricultural
lands still remaining in the public do
main. The present system is not flex-
ible enough TO recognize the differences,
he declares; and "Teater difficulties
are found in the present laws or lack
OF laws with regard to other parts OF
the public domain. especially our tim
Der lands. our grazing lands, our water
power and reservoir sites and our lands
containing coal, oil, gas, asphalt, pot
ash. nitrates and phosphates.
Secretary Fisher recommends the
" adoption Of constructive legislation
With respect to water-power develop
ment and the control and the compre'
hcnsive application of the leasing sys.
tenn to the development of our public
coal, oil, gas, asphalt, nitrate, potash
and phosphate lands, with a reasonable
provision for the protection OF prospect
ors during a reasonable exploration pc
riod preliminary to the leasing of the

the Appalachian mountains the national
forest reservation commission is now

be raised but not good for agricultural

Death Comes.

The attack became worse Friday. and
for time 1t was believed the ernbasss-
dor could not survive the night he was
greatly exhausted. but the physicians
got tho paroxysms under control and
later held out hope for his recovery. Mr..
Reid. however, did not regain his
strength, and on Sunday morning IL was
seen that ho was sinking. Mrs. Reid
and Mrs Ward, who had been in con-
slant attendance since his condition be-
came serious, were summoned, lie soon
lapsed into unconsciousness and lay
quietly until the end came.
Whitelaw Reid, who came TO England
In 1905, spent some busy years here. The
diplomatic duties are not so heavy In
London as at some posts. but socially
the American ambassador is much In
demand and more frequently called upon
to deliver speeches and addresses than
the other en- haSsadors.
Mr.. Reid gave much time to his ad-
dresses. particularly those delivered at
before other men in his position would
be astir. lie dictated to his secretary
or wrote for several hours before going
TO the embassy. where he was regular
in attendance until Illness overlook him,
and there spent another three hours re-
ceiviug visitors and attending to official
correspondence. There were invariably
engagements, official and unofficial. en-
tertainments for the evenings, which took
up his time,
He was member OF several big clubs.
These he seldom visited, although a
regular attendant at the meetings OF the
Roxboroush. a club OF booklovers and
the Titmarch, a Thackeray club.
Until the last he was active In literary
pursuits. One Of the reasons he de-
sired to give up the emba ssadorship
and return home was that he might be
enabled TO write his memoirs for which
his friends continually asked him TO give
his time.

Doctors Optimistic.

Mr. Reid continued to carry on his
correspond cnee and signed official docu-
ments as late es Wednesday. His family
and household did not realize that he
was in any danger, and although at times
he showed much depression. Il was at
tributod TO the gloomy weather. The
doctors. too, were optimistic. but ad-
vised him TO remain within doors and
he did not join tho party at Wrest Park.
which ne had invited TO meet the Prince
and Princess OF Teck last week end. =,
Even in the last week several small
luucheons, which the ambassador and
Mrs. Reid were accustomed TO give to
American visitors had been arranged,
just before his condition became serious
These were Cancelled when he was at
tackled with asthma Wednesday.
On Thursday the attacks became more
severe and Sir Thomas Barlow was sum
Inoned In consultation and DIR. Howlands
