Resume of World’s Important
Events Told in Brief.
President Willing to Submit Ques
tion tu Arbitration.
Baltimore President Tuft, speak
ing nt the annual banquet of the
Merchants’ and Manufacturers* assn
elation in this city, defended the ail
ministration's attitude in the Panama
canal disagreement withEngland, de
claretl that its position wax not un
patriotic or dishonorable and axsert«*!
there was no reason for anyone to op
pose the proposal for arbitration by an
impartial tribunal.
""Whether you call it a subsidy or
not, 1 am in favor of making the rates
between the coasts through th«' Pan
ama canal lower,” he said. "Now
the question is, can we do that under
our intemationl obligations? 1 think
w«> can, and if you read the auth«>rities
I think you’ll find we may. But if we
are bound not to exempt coastwise
vessels we can agree to submit the
question to an impartial tribunal.
“I’m willing to admit there are ar
guments on the other side.
We are
willing, however, to submit our views
to arbitration. There is nothing in
the attitude of the administration, as
I have state«! it, to show that we have
been dish«>norable. There is nothing
to show a disposition to evade, and we
are willing to rest our case with a
tribunal that is impartial.”
Th«' president concluded his speech
with an appeal for constitutional gov
ernment, endanger«*«! in the last few
months, he said, by those who pro
posed remedies but who could not fur
nish concrete examples of their pro
posed reforms.
TREES, ROCKS AND ICE SLIDE
Eastern Washington Roads Badly

Seattle, Wash. The slides that are

where an avalanch«' struck two passen
ger trains and killed 93 |>ersons in
February, 1910.
The passengers of train No. 43, th«'
Burlington-Great Northern from Kan
sas City, had a bit of excitement.
Their train hud just thrust its nose
out of a long snowshe«l at Alvin, on
the west slope, when a mass of snow
und earth, which seemingly had been
lying in wait for the train, leaped
down the mountainside and caught the
two engines and the baggage car. The
train was xtopp«*! and after the en
gines and car had been dug out the
train was backed into the anowsh<*d
without anyone having tieen hurt.
The passengers endured no hard
ships, there being plenty of final and
water.
It had been intent!«*! to send
the train back to Spokane, but there
were slid</x behind it also, and the
passengers clambered down the steep
mountain trail from Alvin to Scenic,
which is a winter resort with a hotel.
They were brought to Seattle t»y train.

Expert Favors Canal Tolls.
Philadelphia — Professor Johnson,
special commissioner of the United
States on Panama traffic and tolls, in
an address here, said that the owners
of vessels in th«' coastwise trade would
derive greater benefits from the Pan
ama canal than the owners of any oth
er vessels; that double the rate fixe«!
by the president would not prevent
coastwix«' carriers from using that
waterway; an<l that in view of these
facts it seem«*! just that those who de
rived immisiiate benefit from th«- use
of the canal should pay reasonable
tolls.
Rails Heavily Bought.
New York Three railroads the St.
Paul, the Great Northern ami the Chi
cago & Northwestern came into the
market last week for supplementary
orders for rails aggregating 150,000
tons, and additional orders from Cana
dian roads, aggregating 30,000 bins,
practically have been placed with
American mills. The Canton & Han
kow railroa«! of China has ordered
5000 tons of rails, a Brazilian road
3000 tons of standanl sections, and
Canadian traction lines 5000 tons of
girder rails from the United States.
Ton of Combs Is Mailed.
Leominster, Mass. — Six hundred
packages of hair combs were sent out
of here by parcel jxist by local comb
manufacturers.
The consignment
weighed more than a ton and was
mailed by parcel post by the manufac
turers as an experiment. If they find
it operates satisfactorily, they will
us«' the parcel jx/st exclusively. Many
other manufacturers are giving close
attention and will follow the lead of
the comb manufacturers.
Bolivia May Fight Peru.
Lima, Peru—The Era, in an alarm
ing edition, declares that war seems
inevitable between Peru ami Bolivia.
This conclusion is drawn from Bo
livia’s recent warlike preparations and
the expressions of General Ismael
Montes, Bolivian ambassador, and
other Bolivian officers in Paris.
Bo
livia’s ambition is said to be a port on
the Pacific.
NOMINATIONS TO
CAUSE TROUBLE
Republicans May Retaliate If
Taft Is Opposed.
Precedent Requires That Appoint
ments of Out-going President
be Approved by Opponents.
Washington, D. C. No on«' seems
to know at thia time whst disposition
th«* senate will make ultimately of th«-
thousands of nominations submitted
thia session by Preaident Taft. Gen
erally, Democratic senators are in fa
vor of preventing confirmation, so that
all the offices affected shall be<x»m««
vacant March 4, ami then be fill«*! by
Democrats.
But Democratic senti
ment is not unanimous, and quite a
few of th«* present minority ami s«H>n-
to-be majority party are disposed to
allow th«' Republicans to clear up their
alate before the Taft administration
closes.
Several times the Democrats of th«'
senate have caucus«*! on the question
of nominations, yet they have reach«*!
no binding agreement as to policy,
rather playing for delay, in th«' hop«'
that something may develop to point
the proper course to them.
For it is
acknowltslged that there are two sides
to th«< question of holding up Republi
can nominations during a Republican
administration. For Instance, prece
dent decrees that nominations mmie by
it Republican president shall be con
firm«*! during his administration, ex
cept in cases where ap|xiint«*'a are per
sonally objectionable to some senator
or senators. That wax th«' policy In
the days of Cleveland, and Harrison,
and McKinley.
But more than thia, if the Demo
crats of the present senate, by filibus
ter or other means, undertak«' to pre
vent th«' conflnnatnui of all the Taft
appointments, now )x'nding or to be
submitt«*! later thia session, they will
arouse Republican senators, and It will
be <|uite as easy for Republicans in
th«' next senat«' to hold up the n«>mina-
tiona of President Wilson, and thus
embarrass the incoming administra
tion. Some Re|niblicana even go so
far as to threaten to hol«i up th«' Wil
son cabinet nominations next March,
unless th«- Democrats agree to allow
th«' present senate to vote on Republi
can nominations now before the sen
ate. And it is quite within the jxiwcr
of any senator or group of senators to
h«dd up even the cabinet appointments.
EXPRESS TRAIN IS WRECKED

Oregon City. Or.
An unsuccessful
sttempt to derail and rob the San
Francisco Express of the Southern I’a
rifle wax made here Saturday night as
the train wax approaching Oregon
City.
A pile of tics was thrown across the
tracks at Sixt«*'nth street and Rail
road avenue (the tracks), just within
a few rods of the trestle across Aber

of the cars were derailed, th«' train
traveling more than eight blocks an«!
across the trestle Iwfore shipping com-
pletely or before the cause of th«-
trouble was learned.
The train carries ten cars, including
one tourist sleeper, four standanl Pul
mans, baggage and express cars an«!
three coaches. Instead of jumping the
rails th«' engin«' scatter«*! th«« ties,
some of whirh were carried in front

The train wax not damagtxi when
the four cars left the rails. They
were replacisi in quick time. That a

railway authorities assert.
