Full authority is given for the statement that the pro tocol now being prepared by Admiral Walker, chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission, and Dr. Silva. the Colom bian Minister here, will not contain any provision for the relinquishment of sov ereignty over the Isthmus. It is under stood that the territory for the canal, which will be provided for in the proto col, is a strip eight miles wide, four miles on either side of the canal. An interesting question has arisen with regard to the policing this zone that of the pursuit of criminals who commit crimes within the zone and then take refuge without It mil it Is stated that the protocol will confer the privilege of pursuit within the limits of Colombli of criminals charged with crimes committed in the zone. Jus tice will be administered within the zone by mixed tribunals and the question of their organization is now occupying the framcrs of the protocol. The question of price. It is said, will be left as the Ian Item to be Incorporated in the document. It is desired to have it In the form of an annuity. A lump sum In the present bad state of Columbia's finances, it is said, would be most ob jectionable, as it would be immediately swallowed up in ihe payment of debts. A lease in perpetuity is contrary to the leg islation of Colombia, and, therefore, is out of the question, it is said, and the terms probably will be a 200 years' lease, with privilege of renewal. QUEEN OF THE NAVY. Battle-Ship Illinois Surpassed Other A'essels of Her Class. NEW YORK. Feb. 12. The battle-ship Illinois, which today dropped anchor off Tompkinsville after its final trial run from Newport News to New York, has proved herself the Queen of the Navy. In every test she has surpassed the Alabama, the Oregon, and even her sister ship, the Kearsarge. The tests were rigorous and fully demonstrated, her officers say, her superiority over other vessels of her class of which the country can boast. Her maintained speed was 15.7 knots.

In a report by the police of this city to the Italian Am bassador in Washington and the Italian Consul In New York, the direct assertion is made, the Herald will say tomorrow, that the killing of King Humbert was planned here. The police have named the men who conspired with Brescl. Many of them are still at liberty. The report, which, it is asserted, was sent to Baron Fava, and which reached Consul Branch! soon after Breed's crime, contains a re sume of the growth of the Italian anarch ist societies in this country. Names and dates are freely given. Just four months to a day before the assassination of King Humbert, accord ing to report, the crime was planned in this city. It was at a meeting of an archists held at a hotel owned by an Italian who has since died. That meeting was called by MaVuesta, who presided. Among others present were Gaetano BrcscI, Guldo Canovo, the Grazzini broth ers and the Blatto brothers, who are now fugitives, Relieved to be in Colorado. In cendiary speeches were made, and the assertion was shouted that King Humbert must die. Just at the close of the meeting Brescl volunteered his services, saying he was ready to make the sacrifice. For this he was loudly applauded, and Malatesta promised to return to Europe to watch the situation and send word when the time was ripe for the blow. Both Brescl and Malatesta kept their word, and King Humbert died the death that was planned for him in New York. The report goes on to say that many other meetings in various cities were ad dressed by Malatesta, when he was in hiding in this country. At these meetings, it is charged, murder was preached and plans were laid for the assassination of the King of Italy, as well as the heads of other foreign governments-. Testing 1001 Coinage. PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 12. The United State Assay Commission, appointed by President Roosevelt to test officially the 1001 coinage of the mints in this city. San Francisco and New Orleans, assembled today at the new mint here. Coins from the San Francisco and New Orleans mints were forwarded to this city, which will obviate the necessity of the commis sion visiting those cities. The object of the assay is to insure uniformity in the weight and fineness of the coins. The commission will finish Its labors in about three days. Root Han a. Cold. WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. Secretary Root is suffering from a cold, and was compelled to leave his office early this afternoon and go home for medical treatment. SIXTY MILLION GUT 'Senators Working on War Tax Reduction Bill. WILL ALTER HOUSE MEASURE Opposition to the Oleomargarine Bill Scuttle and Spokane Pub lic Buildings Democrats' Losing Fight. WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. The- Repub lican members of the Senate finance com mittee have begun the construction of the war revenue reduction bill, even before the bill has been considered in the House. It having been determined by the Repub lican leaders that the bill shall be rail roaded through the House without oppor tunity to amend, the Senate knows just what kind of a .measure It will have to work upon. It has become very apparent that a proposition to reduce the tariff on steel and other trust articles would go through the Housp with a rush, as Re publicans from districts not wholly tied up with manufacturing interests are ready to vote that way, if they set a chance. It is understood that the Senate committee is figuring on a cut of $GO.0O),000. instead of $77,000,000, and that the duty on tea and a part of the tax on beer and some other articles in -the war revenue act will be retained. Democrats Losing FIglit. The fact that the Democrats are making a losing fight on the Philippine situation becomes more and more apparent. Teller disappointed them by taking a middle ground, holding that the Philippines were rightly the property of the United States, and expressing the conviction that some good had been accomplished by American occupation. At the same time, the Demo crats are exasperated because the country does not seem to sustain them in the course they are taking. This accounts for the attacks made upon the press reports of the Investigations before the Philippine committee. Having failed to bring out anything of a character sustaining their position, the newspaper reports are chal lenged, although the testimony Is printed from day to day, and the Senators could Introduce it In the Senate if they de sired. Opposition to Olco Bill. The change of sentiment in the House of Representatives, as evidenced by the vote today, Indicates that the oleo bill will have a hard time in the Senate, and it may be talked to death or defeated by various methods of delay. Had the major ity voted their sentiments, the bill would have been defeated In the House, as there were at least 20 or 30 men who were forced to vote against their "convictions on ac count of the influence of the dairy in terests In their Congressional districts. If there Is a determined minority In the Sen ate and only a half-hearted majority, as indicated by the feeling in the House, the oleo Interests will be able to postpone con sideration of the bill passed today. Retaining Yakima Agency. The Indian committee of the House will probably discontinue the office of Indian Agent at Yakima. Wash., recommended by the Interior Department, but inasmuch as Senator Foster desires to have the po sition continued and to appoint a new man to the place, it is probable the Senate will amend the House provision and re store the office. Washington Public Buildings. Representative Jones today filed papers with the public buildings committee in support of the bill to Increase the limit of cost of the Seattle public building to Jl.OuO.OGO; and to appropriate J5O0.O0O for. the public building at Spokane. He believes both bills will pass at this session, par ticularly the Seattle bill, as the depart ment asserts that a building of the 6lze necessary to accommodate the offices can not be erected for less than $1,000,000. He thinks the Tacoma bill will also pass. Fort Hall Reserve. Senator Heitfeld today Introduced a bill granting a tract of 1S7 acres of the Fort Hall reservation, near Pocatcllo, to the State of Idaho. These lands contain many hot mineral springs, and are to be con verted into a reserve. Representative Cushman delivered a speech tonight before the Union League Club, of Baltimore. Senator Dubois believes that, on charges now on file, or soon to be filed, John Yost, recently nominated for register of the Coeur d'Alene land office, will be defeated. KAISER'S YACHT AT NEW YORK Holicnzollern Arrives One Day Ahead of Time. NEW YORK. Feb. 12. The Imperial Ger man yacht Hohenzollern, sent here" for the use of Prince Henry of Prussia dur ing his forthcoming visit, arrived today from Kiel. She was not expected, for fcho came by the southern circle, and it was calculated that the run would take at least one day more than it did. It had also been thought that she would touch at Bermuda, and that place had reported her as two days overdue. The weather encountertd was unfavorable for a call at Bermuda, and at sea Admiral Count von Baudlssm abandoned the partly formed plan and shaped his course for New York. The yacnt had some heavy weather In southern waters, but for the most it was fair and when it was at its best, she logged 16 knots an hour. She hove in sight off Sandy Hook a few minutes before the noon hour, and an hour later was in quarantine. She got the courtesy of the port from Federal officials, and came on through the Narrows and up into North River without delay. Passing craft gave her an enthusiastic welcome with their whistles, and the man at her Jackstaff was kept busy dipping her big naval flag, with its field of white, black Prussian eagle and black cross. She stood high out of the water and looked Impressive beyond her real size. She was painted white all over, save for a black eagle at her figure-head, some touches df gold astern and a long streak of red that showed below her water line. She has a ram bow, and in srerieral type resembles a modern man-of-war. The North German Lloyd pier, at Ho boken. where she is to be overhauled, was not ready for her reception, and she ( dropped anchor In midstream until a fleet of tugs cleared a berth for her. German flags floated above the docks and ware house, of the North German Lloyd and Hamburg-American Line piers, and the ships of these two companies in port were dressed. The bands of the latter assem bled on the quarter-deck and serenaded the yacht as she lay at anchor. At 4 o'clock she hove her anchors, and, guided by two tugs, was carefully warped into the pier. Admiral von Baudissln was formaliy welcomed to New York by a civic commit tee, a representative of Mayor Low and an officer of the United States Navy. The civic committee was headed by Captain A. T. Mahan. U. S. N., retired, and his asso ciates wore Emil S. Boas. Gustav H. Schwab. Captain Jacob S. Miller, William H. Baldwin, Jr.. George H. Boldt, Colonel Whelan and Commander Rodgers. Cap tain Mahan spoke brielly. greeting the Admiral and his officers and ship in the name of the people of the city. The Ad miral thanked the committee, and, through Its members, the citizens of New York Private Secretary Reynolds left the "card of the Mayor, and Captain Converse, of the battle-ship Illinois, made the "formal call In behalf of the Navy. Wallace Downey, builder of the yacht for the Ger man Emperor, for tho launching of which Prince Henry Ls coming to the United States, also -called.

SM J I This picture is a copy of a llfe-sizo portrait of Abraham Lincoln, which was purchased before the war by Henry Kuchlman, of Sprlnsfleld, 111. In a second hand store in St. Louis. The portrait, in the opinion of Mr. Kidd, an old friend of Lincoln, is one of the first early likenesses of the great emancipator. Mr. Kidd thinks that Lincoln must have posed for it while he was trying a law case, as It was his habit, when pleading, to run his hand through his hair. Mr.'Kuehl man paid 50 cents for the picture. tainments until the arrival of the Prince, of whose suite thoy are members.

He will also call upon Consul General Buenz, the representative of the German Government. After the formal greetings, the Admiral talked with the newspaper representatives as to his voyage across, and said: "We all feel very grateful for the kindly welcome you have given us. Everybody aboard is well. We shall He here at this dock until February 21, when we cross to the other side of the river. The yacht is to bo given a general overhauling while here." The Admiral distributed photographs of the Hohenzollern and scenes on her decks, taken at different times when the Em- nrrnr mi nhnrinl. nnrl n.eo c:vr out nnnt- ed slips describing the yacht and explain ing the purposes for which she was built and maintained by the Emperor.

The official North German Gazette and the German press have variously complained, since the visit of Prince Henry to the United States was announced, that Engliah correspondents at New York have been sending dispatches calculated to create unpleasantness in some quarters. The North German Gazette this evening corrects a dispatch from New York to the Manchester Guardian, which says: "Em peror William has requested that all ad dresses made by the German-Americans to Prince Henry be In the English lan guage." The paper In question says that is authorized to make the following state ment: "Emperor William has never ex pressed any wish whatever .regarding the ceremonies and circumstances oi Prince Henry's reception, but has left ail the details to the Americans." Ohio Traction Deal. CANTON. O., Feb. 12. It is stated by authoritative source that the Northern Ohio Traction Company, the Everett Moore Syndicate and Henry Everett have disposed of their Interests in the Canton Akron Street Railway line, now being constructed between Akron and Canton and the Canton and the Masslllon City street-car systems, as well as the Can-ton-Massillon Inter-urban lino now in operation with the extension to Navarre, five miles south from Masslllon. The pur chasers are said to be a syndicate com posed of the banking house of Tucker & Anthony, of Boston; L. E. Myers, of Chicago, and Eastern capitalists. The transaction will involve something over J2.500.0000. Chichester Becomes nn Admiral. LONDON, Feb. 12.

FUTURE IN ISLANDERS' HANDS Secretary Long's Speech nt n Lincoln Banquet nt Boston Senator De pew's Tribute to Mc ICinlcy. BOSTON, Feb. 11 The anniversary of Lincoln's birthday was observed here to day by a liberal display of the National colors. The feature of the day was the banquet of the Middlesex Club this evening, at which several well-known men spoke, In cluding John D. Long. Secretary of the Navy, and Congressman James E. Hill, of South Norwalk. Conn. Secretary Long received a flattering welcome- He said, in part: "The War Department is dealing with the great interests which have been com mitted to its hands, and If Secretary Root were here, he would assure you that the administration in the Philippines ls not a failure, but Is advancing every day toward the pacification and good government of those islands. The wise student looks not to the sporadic incident of a fight here or a riot or a murder there, but to the fact that schools are established; that the American teacher is in evidence In great numbers; that courts are established; that roads are built; that business grows,and that American civilization Is there to stay and to bless. Of course, the cost of internal administration Is defined by the Islands' revenues. And why should it not? And who can speak more for their welfare and for their redemption from slavish" de pendency? "The question of the Independence of these islands, which one day will be a substantial and vital question, is today an academic question. Men may make speeches for party effect, but there Is no party, there is no community, in the United States that for one moment intends to abandon or would take the responsibil ity of abandoning the trust we are now under to give those islands the pacifica tion, the government and the civilization which we ourselves enjoy. I douoT If there are many Intelligent Filipinos who do not accept this view. "This Is the work, not of a day but of a generation, but when the time comes that that trust is executed and the ability of self-government is assured, then theques tlon of their political status will be for the people of those islands themselves to decide. Whether they will walk alone and Independent, or whether they will walk hand in hand with us, as Canada walks with England, they, whoever they shall- then be, will decide. And as Eng land respects the wishes of Canada In this regard, so shall we then respect ana ought to respect the wishes of the Philip nines." 'Mr. Long said he had long hoped to-see the moral obligation to Cuba redeemed by adjusting the tariff on Cuban sugar and tobacco. WU TALKS FOR RECIPROCITY. The Principal Guest nt the Lincoln Bnnuuet ut Grand Rapids. GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., Feb. 12. The Lincoln Club, of this city, celebrated the birthday of Lincoln tonight with a ban quet. Congressman William A. Alden Smith bringing a number of guests from Washington. The principal guest was Minister Wu. The Chinese Minister was warmly welcomed when he arose to re spond to a toast. He said, in part: "Looking backihrough the vista of time, I am inclined to think that the Civil War, coming as it did, was not altogether a bad thing for this country. Measured by the amount of wealth destroyed by fire and sword andthe quantity of blood spilled on the battle-Yield, the war was undoubtedly an appalling calamity. But measured by the glorious results achieved, chief among which wzis the settlement of the slavery question, the war was not an unmixed evil. For before the war slavery had been an Incubus weighing upon the life and energy of the Nation. It had hung like a heavy shadow over the whole land. It had divided the country Into two hostile factions, one working for its abolition and the other for Its extension. Under such circumstances, the question of slavery had to be settled before the country :ould enter upon the road to prosperity" and peace. For as long as that question re mained unsettled, the people wasted their time and thought and all the important matters pertaining to internal develop ment and foreign commerce were rele gated to the background. The war came and Lincoln cut the Gordlan knot by Issu ing his famous emancipation proclamation. With the abolition of slavery, the country at once aoke to a new life. "What a change in the condition of things from what they were no further back than two or three decades ago! Now American products and manufactures can hold their own, not only in domestic, but also In foreign markets. Then the United States was content to keep aloof from the rest of the world. Now you are not to be satisfied with anything less than a world power. It is the irresistible logic of events that has brought about the new order of things. "The question now ls whether you Americans realize the change. Fortunate ly, you have men at the helm of affairs that grasp the full meaning of the new problems which confront the Nation. President McKlnley sounded the keynote to the present situation when he said 'the period of excluslvencss Is past. Reciproc ity treaties are in harmony with the spirit of the time. "Now .cannot this grand principle of reciprocity be applied to the Intercourse between China and the United States? It Ls not merely a matter of sentiment, but also a matter of business that this should be done. In order to pave the way for the interchange of friendly offices for the profitable employment of American capital and American energy In the development of China to the advantage of both the establishment of good feeling between the people of the two countries Is a primary requisite. There should be perfectly fair dealing. There should be no Invidious discrimination of any kind whatever. Then will there be mutual helpfulness be tween the old empire and the youlhful Republic. Then both countries will reap the benefit or genuine reciprocity." AMERICANISM OF M'KIXLEY. Senator Depevr'.x Tribute to the Lnte President. NEW YORK. Feb. 12. There was a general suspension of business in the financial district of this city today in honor of the 03d anniversary of the birth of Lincoln. Many mercantile houses also closed and flags were generally dis played. There were several banquets tonight, the principal one being that of the Re publican Club, at which more than. 500 were present. Senator Dcpew, who spoke on "A Tribute to McKlnley," said In part: "William McKlnley was the product and representative of the development of Americanism which has aroused intense interest and discussion at the commence ment of the 20th century. Industrial America owes more to him than any other statesman. Though never a busi ness man nor an employer of labor, he created those enterprises which have given unequaled position, wages and work to his countrymen. Though never a manufacturer, he gave the impulse and opportunity of manufacturers which have placed the surplus of the mills and fac tories of the United States in the mar kets of the world and given them success, not only in the competitive countries ot the East, but upon the soil and alongside the most highly organized industries of Europe. Though always a poor man. and leaving an estate which was the result only of the saving from his salary as President and his life insurance, he made possible the gigantic fortunes which have been massed by master minds in the con. trol, use and distribution of Iron, cOal, oil, cotton and wool and their products. Though never an organizer or beneficiary of combinations or -trusts, yet the con stant aggregation of most Industries in vast corporations of fabulous capital, while due to the tendencies of the age and common to all countries, received tre mendous acceleration from his policies. "The dominant Idea which governed his public life was that measure which brought out our National resources and increased our National wealth, and added to the security, comfort and happiness of every citizen. Some might profit more than others, but every one shared in greater or less degree In the general pros perity. Pride in his country and love for his people were the mainsprings of his career. Americanism with him meant the victories of peace. The happiness of the American home and the welfare of the individual American citizen were the alms of McKlnley. "Happily for him, before the dread summons came, the realization, of his life work, his aspirations and his hopes were complete. The assassin struck him down at the moment when the splendors of the fruition of his labors were crys tallized by his death into a halo of Im mortality." MARQUETTE CLUB'S BANQUET. Speeches at Chlcngo In Honor of Lincoln. CHICAGO, Feb. 12. Memorial exercises in honor of Abraham Lincoln were held here today on a scale surpassing that ot any previous local celebration of the an niversary of his birth. Appropriate exer cises wore held in the school.

A large number of busines houses were also closed during the afternoon. In the evening there were a number or banquets, at which the speakers for the most part dealt with some phase of the life of Lincoln. The largest of these af fairs was held in the home of the Mar quette Club, where at least 700 members of the club gathered to listen to ad dresses. La Fayette Young, of Des Moines, la., spoke on "Abraham Lincoln," and his address was received with much enthusiasm. Curtis Guild, Jr., of Boston, spoke on "Onr Flag in the Tropicc" His declaration of what ls owed as a duty to Its new possessions by the United States was received with much approval.

Thurston, and Congressman Foss, of Chicago. At the Lincoln Monument. SPRINGFIELD. 111.. Feb. 12.

NEW STOCKYARDS Harriman Lines Join for Large Portland-Enterprise, PACKING HOUSES COME NEXT N'eiv Establishment to Be on tlie O. It. t N. Extension to St. Johns Present Stockyards to Be Taken Outside City Limits. News comes from a source that la not to be doubted that the O. R. & N. Co. and the Southern Pacific Company have con cluded to build large stockyards on the St. Johns extension of the O. R. & N. This work ls to go forward at once. It will Involve the removal of the present stockyards from the west'alde of the river. The new yards. It is understood, will be outside the city limits, where. It ls con ceived. It Is proper to locate an institu tion of that character. There will be am ple facilities for handling livestock of all kinds, and for feeding the animals a reasonable time. The enterprise is understood to be pre liminary to the building of large packing houses at Portland establishments that will handle all the meat of the tributary farms and ranges. This will turn the meat producers of the Columbia Basin to Portland for a market instead of com pelling them to keep their eyes on the great packing centers of the East. It will encourage the recently manifested tend ency to fatten stock at home, and wllL do away with shipments of lean stock to the feeding yards of the states in the corn belt. Details of the expected packing estab lishments are not yet ready for announce ment, but it is known that careful exam ination of the sources of meat supply of this country has been in progress some time. It has been ascertained that about CO.000 neat cattle. COO.000 sheep and 135,000 hogs went to market last year from coun try tributary to Portland. Over and abovo the home'demand it Is estimated that this year 232,000 hogs will move to market. The estimate for 1003 is l.COO.OOO hogs as the minimum. It Is not expected that the number of beef animals will Increase so rapidly, but It Is said that Columbia Val ley farms and ranges would within fivo years -send 300,000 cattle to the shambles in a year. Of 'sheep, perhaps not more than l.COO.OOO a year may be counted on for mutton, for the limit of sheep grazlnz has almost been reached. These estimates do not Include remoto parts of the Columbia Basin, In British Columbia and Montana, or even a large part of Idaho but only the region gener ally recognized as tributary to Portland by virtue of the configuration of the coun try anil its transportation facilities. Yesterday an option was secured on 100 acres of land on the Peninsula accessi ble from the St. Johns extension of the O. R. & N. This tract is outside the city" limits, and adjoining other vacant tracts. It is said that this tract Is for the new stockyard, and the fact that the bond is taken for but a few weeks indicates that operations are to be begun there immedi ately. It "is also ascertained from another source that the decision was reached at a recent conference of O. R. & N. and Southern Pacific authorities to build these stockyards. There is no doubt nbout this fact. These will be union stockyards, and will accommodate the livestock business of all the railroads entering Portland. Fatally Injured in Football. NEW YORK. Feb." 12.
