CAUCUS LIMITS
 CONGRESS WORK
Democrats Decide That Only Appro- priation and Trust Bills as Con-
 sidered at This Session.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The Dmeocrats of the House yesteray held a caucus and edcided that nc legislation would be considered at this session of congress excepting bills ot appropriation and the trust bills This action was taken in order to insure the passage of the appropria- tion bills and the trust legislation de sired by the administration.
 It is hoped that congress can ad- journ in August, as the members of congress who will have to stand for reelection are anxious to return to their bailiwicks and commence the work of rebuilding their political fences, which have ben torn down while they have been in this city for the past year.
 It is expected by the Democrats that with the passage of the trust bill they can appeal to the people for support upon the fact that they have fulfilled the promises made in the Baltimore platform and they conf dently expect to hold their present control of both houses.

CORDOVA 10 GET
 GOVERNMENT ROAD
Says High C. R. and N. w. Officials Are Negotiating With the Presi-
 dent Make Cordova Terminus.

The Cordova Alaskan. the official organ of the Copper River and North western railroad, in recent issue prints an editorial stating that the head officials of the Cordova road have been in consultation with the president and that negotiations are now on for the making of Cordova the terminus of the government road.
 The editorial is as follows:
 During the many months past while sentiment was being made concerning the availa ble terminal ports for trunk line railroads the Cordova Chamber of Commerce was in dormant state. Now that the matter of routes has been thoroughly gone into, and the president has some pretty well de fined ideas on the subject, some of the members of our new organization think that Washington officials may be influenced by importing Seattle ite to exploit our advantages. As a
 
 matter of fact everything possible that might influence the president in the selection of Cordova as a terminal port, has been presented to him by the head officials of the Copper River and Northwestern Railway. And those facts are. also largely contain sd in the report of the Alaska Rail road Commission. which the presi- dent has thoroughly digested. And it is possible that even now the negotiations that have been going on tor some weeks past between the presidents representatives and the railroad officials have been closed and Cordova selected as terminal port either for a branch line to the coal fields or for trunk line to the Tan ana, or both. The Chamber has much effective work that it may accomplish and no doubt will soon be bending It's energies in the effort to secure an additional pay roll in Cordova and tributary country We need enter prises that will employ men, create homes, and bring in more foreign money" :.

The intellectual and the
military in Germany.
By PROFESSOR RUDOLF EUcKEN,

1t is one of the Objectionable acts Of
our opponents to represent Germany
as mere military state and to con.
trast her military ability sharply with
her scientific and artistic achievements
Statements are frequently heard to the
effect that against the old Germany
the land of philosophy and art, moth
ing is to be said and that it is reyered
and loved, but that the new Germany,
with its militarism and imperialism,
must decidedly be fought.
This disruption of the German char
acter is entirely wrong, as every close
observation Of German conditions will
prove. First of all, the creation of a
strong German army did not spring
from lust for conquest, but from bit
ter necessity. Even the most casual
glance at the European map shows
how Germany is surrounded by foreign
and hostile nations and how open her
frontiers are to foreign attack. The
present assault OF numerous powers
against Germany shows plainly enough
how indispensable the niaintenance of
a strong army is for Germany. His
tory presents an irrefutable testimony
of the fact that such military strength
does not carry any desire for conquest
with it. The German empire has now
been in existence for forty-three years,
and the present kaiser has reigned for
twenty-five years, and during all these
wears Germany waged no war. She
did not make use OF the difficult situa.
ton in which England found herself
in consequence of the Boer war, and
she did not use to her own advantage
Russia's weakness from the Japanese
war. As she had always wanted peace,
'hs wanted 1t now also. Every stran.
