Wakes Up at Philadelphia. In giving an account of his day here Mr. Taft laughingly remarked that he had awakened Philadelphia at the unusual Bunday morning hour-of 7 o'clock, for wnicn ne -felt he owed an apology. The report printed today that as Presl dent he would go to Alaska, Mr. Taft said, had only the foundation that he had received an invitation for such a trip and had replied that he would hold it under consideration. This same answer he said likewise applied to invitations to visit Denver and Seattle next Summer.

Constitutional legal restrictions on cor porate abuses are the accomplishments he will strive for. In assembling his legal Cabinet, the President-elect has not lost sight of the necessity Of OhtAinfnir mn whose beliefs on the questions to be dealt with coincide with his own.

Senate Outlook Brighter River and Harbor Bill May Be Talked to Death. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Both houses of Congress will begin this week to crowd on steam for the last spurt of the pres ent session. After the close of business next Saturday there will remain only three days for legislation, and it Is re alized that It will be necessary to act upon practically all of the appropriation bills in both houses before that time, as most of the remaining days will be neces sary for the adjustment of the difficul ties between the two houses. Both houses probably will commence holding night sessions early in the week. Sundry Civil Bill First. The House will begin with the dis cussion of the great sundry civil bill. It Is expected that the question of the sal arv of the 'Secretary of State will again on Tuesday receive attention In connec tion with the conference report on tne legislative, executive and Judicial appro priation bill. The House will again re fuse to yield on tne question an Under-Secretary of State, and that ques tion will also be discussed in connection with the conference report. It Is expected that the general defi ciency bill will be ready for consideration by tlie House when the sundry civil bill Is disposed of. The river and harbor bill has already passed the House under sus pension of the rules. Senate Outlook Brighter. Undoubtedly the House will be able be fore the clos0of the session to dispose of all the appropriation bills, and the out look in the Senate is much brighter than It was a week ago. During the past week the Senate put behind it the post office, the naval, the pension, the army and the Indian bills, and It will be pre pared to go on this week with the dip lomatic and consular, the agricultural and other appropriation bUls. The river and harbor bill may be talked to death. The Senate will on Tuesday consider and vote on the bill providing for the re enlistment of the negro soldiers who were discharged on account of the Bronsvllla riot, and Saturday will be given up en tirely to eulogies of members of the Con gress who have recently died. Including the late Senator Latimer, of South Caro lina: Representative Powers, of Maine; Representative Wiley, of Alabama; Rep resentative Meyer, of Louisiana, and Representative Brick, of Indiana. The entire day Tuesday will be given to the Brownsviile bill. Hope for Statehood. Senator Carter will be the first to pro cure action on the postal savings bank bill. There will be a strong effort to get the Arizona and New Mexico statehood bill out of committee with the hope of passing it during the last days of the ses sion, but the present outlook Is not promising. BULGARIA IS RECOGNIZED Ferdinand Takes Seat of Honor Be side Czar at St. Petersburg, ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 21. Emperor Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, arrived here to day on an imperial train from the fron tier. His reception adhered to the dis tinctive ceremonial to royalty. Grand Duke Constantlne. on behalf of Emperor Nicholas, met the visiting Emperor; General Hazenkampff, commander of the forces in the capita!, presented a formal report and the band struck up the Ma ritza hymn. The colors of the Semin- the ovsky regiment were dipped and guard of honor presented arms. Several aides-de-camp were assigned to the Emperor and he accompanied the Grand Duke in a carriage to the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul, whither Em peror Nicholas had precided a short time Before. Emperor Nicholas and the royal visit ors who had come to St. Petersburg to attend the funeral of Grand Duke Vladi mir, had already taken their places In the cathedral when Emperor Ferdinand arrived. iis presence raised a delicate point of etiquette. As Austria and the other powers had not recognized the in dependence of Bulgaria, Archduke Friederich, under the old order, was en titled to precedence, but the new Czar immediately stepped in the place of honor beside Ihe Emperor of Russia. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 21. Russia's recognition of Emperor Ferdinand is the subject of a circular note which the Porte has addressed to the powers. The re plies received from the powers, how ever, Indicate that they have no intention of recognizing Bulgarian independence until Turkey has arrived at an agree ment with that Government. This has served in a measure to pacify the Porte. CRIES FOR WATER LEAD TO DISCOVERY OF 22. Cross at El Paso and Are Put in Bonded Car, Sealed With Govern ment Stamp for San Francisco. SAN LUIS OBISPO. Cal., Feb. 21. An organized plan to smuggle Asiatics into this country may be unearthed as a re sult of the discovery of 22 Chinese In a boxcar in this city today. The most peculiar feature of the discovery was that the celestials were In a bonded car. sealed with the Government stamp. The car waa billed from Algiers, a town near New Orleans, which It left Ft!) nary if, through to San Francieco. Owing to numerous landslides and washouts, the car was delayed on the Coast Division of "the Southern Pacific. While passing the sealed boxcar In the yards today. Conductor Page heard voices in it. In response- to a question who was In the car he received an offer of J2 for a bucket of water in pigeon English. The Sheriff's office was noti fied, the seals broken and 22 half-starved Chinese taken out. All had large can teens, but during the long Journey these had been drained of every drop of water. One of them stated that they had crossed the Mexican border at El Paso, but refused to give any further Informa tion. They were placed iu the County Jail and are being held pending the ar rival of Immigration Inspectors from San Francisco. crisis is n N WHEAT CORNER Strain on Shorts Growing Daily and Only Seasoned Operators Retain Grip. PAPER PROFITS MAY FAIL SAFE BLOWN, $2 OBTAINED First Robbery in Roseburg for Sev eral Months. ROSEBURG. Or., Feb. 21. (Special.) The first robbery In Roseburg for many months was perpetrated at 4 o'clock, when two men blew open the safe at the Rose burg Steam Laundry with nltro-glycerine. About 12 in small change was secured by the robbers, but they completely wrecked the sate. The report of the explosion was so loud that it aroused the officers in different sections of the city, who, while hunting for the cause of the explosion met two strangers acting in a suspicious manner, whom they arrested. They gave the names of J. R. Wilson and L. L. Merrill, and their occupation as newspaper solicitors, saying they arrived in this city three days ago from San Francisco, where they had worked. TJieir stories are conflicting, however, and Sheriff Fenton is of the opinion that Wilson is wanted by the po lice of Washington. They will have their preliminary examination tomorrow.

If sur face Indications count for anything, a culminating point Is near in the big May wheat deal. The strain on the larger shorts is Intense and the risk Involved by the leading longs is rapidly multiply ing dally. Something radical in the shape of new moves Is reasonably to be expected at any time. Thus far the bull efforts have been confined to a steady marking up of prices, accelerated at times by the, intervention of small fry on the bull side or the finding of a stampeding short among the bears. This process has been nerve-destroying and disheartening to all . except the most seasoned and well-equipped speculators on the short side of the market, but It also has uncovered a force that promises to put their opponents on their mettle and call out tremendous and Increasing resources of nerve and capital as the days pass. Paper Losses Heavy. The bulls have tlie advantage of large paper profits to their credit, but their immense lines were bought In a large market, and recent tests show that it would be a hard matter to turn these profits Into cash in the present small market The bears have large paper losses confronting them, with the possibility at any time that the bulls may adopt summary rushing tactics and make the paper losses still larger, thus calling for the putting up of further immense sums of money. Meanwhile the owner of wheat, whether producer, miller or elevator operator, is itching to accept a part at least of the growing profits on his wheat. The price is so tempting and deals so uncertain so far in advance of final delivery day. May 29 next, that the markets already are getting a trickling increase in receipts from con servative owners. Some who do not sell cash wheat outright have been ventunng a few hedging sales of May. Last week's primary receipts of wheat showed an increase of over 50 per cent over those of a year ago, ivhen the week was shortened one day by the Saturday holiday. With good weather, it Is likely that receipts will continue to increase rapidly, unless something in the way of a backset, and an important one, is ordered. Patten Counted as Winner. The bull control in the wheat market Is so absolute, the congestion so posi tive and acute that smaller speculators are trading on it incessantly. Only mod erate purchases are necessary to make the market respond. This has presented opportunities for profit which have been of a scalping way to a large extent during the last week, the scalper taking chances that he will be able to dodge big losses in case any sudden radical move Is made by the larger interests. Many of these have their faith pinned to Patten, and believe that he is more apt to win his bout with less experienced Eastern shorts than he is to lose. There' is nothing so remarkable in the present wheat situation. In a large way the world's supplies are probably ad- Justed fo the year somewhat closer than ordinarily to the actual requirements. but there is no indication at present that supplies at the end of the crop year will be nearer the danger line than they were last year particularly if cur rent values are maintained. The high prices of red Winter have turned much of the milling trade to hard Winter wheat, a development that tlie leading owners had predicted, and except in generally advanced prices the ortly point where the bullish forecasts of one to three months ago have been good. MOTHER GAM ONLY MT M KS. YOCl'BETS' PARENT CAN NOT EXPLAIN CASE. Advises That Search Be Made in Insane Asylums for the Missing Woman. CHICAGO. Feb. 2L CSpecial.) Mrs. J. Caldwell, 4121 Lake avenue, mother of Mrs. Emma Tocubets, 40 years old, mys teriously missing from her home near Al bany, Or., tonight told what she thought of the disappearance. Mrs. Caldwell has heard or seen nothing of her daughter since she disappeared. 'I do not believe Emma would have left her husband without letting me hear from her." said Mrs. Caldwell, so there is doubt in my mind that she has run away. I do not know of any enemies she had, and she never complained to me of any Ill-treatment at the hands of Mr. Tocu bets. She did say that at times her two stepsons were disobedient, but that Is the only complaint I have ever heard her utter about the family. She has often said, however, that she was very lonesome. 'My daughter had no money of her own to speak of, while Mr. Yocubets was a well-to-do farmer. The morning sjie disappeared he had, as usual, got up about 5 o'clock. When he returned to the house she had-vanished, as well as JS0 of his money; her clothes were not gone, ex cept a calico dress which she often wore around the place. "Mrs. Yocubets had some insurance pa pers made out In my favor, and I asked her husband to send them to me, but until he had absolute proof of the fact that his wife was dead, he replied he would not send them. Mrs. Burt, an in timate friend of my daughter for many years, had been to visit her for about four months and had only left a few days before the disapearance. I cannot pos sibly imagine what can be the cause, and can only worry and worry." Here the woman broke down com pletely and wept bitterly. Mrs. Burt, an Intimate friend of Mrs. Yocubets. who left the Yocubets home about five days before the. disappearance, said: "I believe that, if it has not been done already, it would be well to look through the Insane asylums in that vicinity and see if she has not been picked up while wandering around."

VANCOUVER. Wash., Feb. 21.-(Spe-cial.) A crew of 12 men with a tug have been at work today laying the big cable of the Portland Railway, Light .& Power Company, on the bottom of the Columbia River from the Washington to the Oregon Bide. The cable Is encased In lead and is on a huge reel on the tugboRt. The cable was fastened on the Washington side, and then the tug moved out elowly into the river and the cable began to unwind. It is necessary that the cable be laid straight from shore to shore, but several times It swung down the river, carried by the swift current, and had to be reeled up again and then unwound again. ' The workmen did not quite reach the Oregon shore, being about 1000 feet from It. and here the tugboat was an chored for the night. The company planned at first to run the cable ashore about" 1000 feet above the big railway bridge, and to this point, on. the Oregon shore, the poles for the wires were put In. But later it was de cided to lay the cable nearer the bridge, hence several more poles have to be put In and some more wiring done. Every thing is now in readiness on the Van couver side, and it is expected that the cable will be all laid and all connections made by Tuesday. Tlie company expects to carry from its power plants in Oregon 10.000 volts of electricity for use in Vancouver. The local plant, which now generates all electricity used in the city, will be kept ready to be put in operation at a mo ment's notice in case of an emergency, but for power and light, save in case of some accident, the company .intends to bring electricity across the Columbia via the cable.
