I l Washington, D. C. ? The White i House was the scene ot the formal i ^ opening of the first international con- ! ^ gress on the welfare of the child un- I j der the auspices of the National Moth- j t ers' Congress. The 200 delegates c representing all the States and Terri- J J tories and a dozen or more of the j r leading countries of the world were J . received at the White House when j t President Roosevelt delivered an ad- | dress to them, in which he declared j ? that he placed the society ahead of j c the- Civil War veterans, because, he j f said, In the final analysis it is the ! i mother only who is a better citizen J g than the soldier who fights for his j j lu""" ' I The President made the occasion j decidedly more than an informal reception by having the Marine Band ! in attendance and his military and naval aids in full uniform. The President said in part: "I receive many societies here in j the White House, many organizations i of good men and women, striving to j do all that in them lies for the better- j ment of our social and civic condi- i j tion, but there is no other society which I am quite as glad to receive i j as this. This is the one body that I i ^ put even ahead of the veterans of the ! ^ Civil War; because when all is said. ? it is the mother, and the mother only, i who is a better citizen even than the j soldier who fights for his country. >. j The successful mother, the mother i t who does her part in rearing and I j training aright the boys and girls who I are to be the men and women of the 1 j next generation, is of greater use to ( the community and occupies, if she i only would realize it, a more honor- ? able, as well as a more important po- < sition, than any successful man in it. t "No scheme of education, no social y attitude, can be right unless it is i based fundamentally upon the recog- | nition of seeing that the girl is trained to understand the supreme dignity, the supreme usefulness of motherhood. Unless the average . woman is a good wife and good mother, unless she bears a sufficient number of children, so that the race shall increase and not decrease, unless she brings up these children sound in soul and mind and body?unless this is true of the average woman no brilliancy of genius, no material prosperity, no triumphs of science and industry will avail to save the race from ruin and death. The mother is the one supreme osset of national life; she is more important by far than the successful statesman or business man or artist or scientist.

This 1 net only covers horse race , but all ; 1 forms of athletics. ' The new law prohibits tips on any \ event and entries may not be published unless they run in alphabet- ! ! ical order, uniform type, flush with j the left side column rule. If en- j ( forced, this would bar nearly every : , newspaper in America containing ; , sporting news. The ordinance also prohibits pub- | lication of betting odds on Presiden- j tial elections or baseball games. It ! also takes away from sporting editors | the time honored right to decide all j the bets in the universe. The general impressiou here is that ; the law will be ignored by the daily j newspapers. The recent murder of Mrs. Char- j Ictce L. Noyes after a quarrel over j race betting created sentiment in favor of the new law. | I CALIFORNIA ROAD FIXED $13,000 j Guilty of Granting Rebates to a Lum- ! ber Company cf Kansas City.

Vfler the robberies they stole a team rom a livery stable and started off. it 7 o'clock a. m. they were seen enering Woodbury and Policeman Meriiant opened fire and wounded one if them. The robbers then left their earn and took refuge in the woods tear Sewell. They were armed with 44 calibre revolvers and seemed to lave plenty of ammunition. Merchant alarmed the authorities, vho quickly organized a posse, which urrounded the men. Seeing that :apture was imminent, the yeggmen led to a barn. The farmers gathered n a near-by cornfield and exchanged hots with them. Then the men made i dash toward Woodbury. Opposite the water works the posse losed in on them, and after a hand o hand fight succeeded in capturing wo. The third man got away. One of the captured men was shot n the groin and to Dr. Stout, who reated him, he said that he was Will am McCoy, thirty-eight years old, md had 110 home. He had $134 in lis pockets and a .44 calibre revol er, empty. He was committed to irison without bail. The other prisoner said he was lohn Burns, seventeen years old. He vas wounded in the face and body vith buckshot. In a tobacco bag tied iround his neck was $57 in bills and n his pockets $100 in bills and $1.37 n change, together with a .44 calibre evolver. Burns before being capured threw a bottle of nitro glycerne at his captors. It did not explode. A few minutea after midnight the nen made their appearance in Peiricktown, about twenty miles below kVoodbury. They went to the livery stable of J. B. Caventa, forced an mtrance and stole a team. Then hey went to the postoffice. The safe ivas blown open and $250 in stamps md money taken. The force of the explosion was so jreat that it wrecked the entire post>ffice and set fire to the building. The obbers fled with the stolen team. In l very few minutes the entire popula;ion of Pedricktown was in the street n front of the postoffice. The volun:eer firemen got to work on the blaze, jut before they extinguished it $2000 1 aixia3uaa uuuc. At 2 o'clock the yeggmen reached :he Bridgeport postoffice. The family )f William Brown lives over the postsffice, but this did not deter the robbers from forcing entrance and inserting a charge oi nitro glycerine in the safe sufficient to almost wreck the I building. Brown armed himself with i revolver and rushed down stairs, ind when he went into the postoffice tie ran against the barrels of three revolvers. He was told to retreat unier the threat of death, and did so. The robbers then packed up $600 srorth of stamps and taking $50 in money made off in the direction of Woodbury, near where the fight and capture took place. NINE GUILTY OF MURDER.

He is said to aave been the chief mover in a plan :o wipe out the members of the On Leong Tong. Eight "hatchet men" were brought here secretly and commenced operaLions on the night of August 2. Many of the On Leongs were sitting juietly in their doorways in Oxford place when the strangers appeared | and opened fire with levolvers. .More than forty shots were fired.

A special dispatch re:eived here states that China has ipologized to Japan for hauling down :he Japanese flag when the steamship Tatsu ilaru was seized. The dispatch further states that China later will reply to the Japanese Government regarding the seizure of :he steamer and its cargo. Confirmation of this dispatch was given at the Japanese Embassy, where t was said that China had expressed leap regret for hauling down the Japinese flag on the Tatsu Maru, and | iiad promised to punish the officials responsible for this act.

SHIPPING ANARC3 DEALBNG WITH > Washington Officials Admit Difficulty Latest Measures?Effective Measure port?Restrictions on Immigration Washington, D. C.?It may not be reassuring information, butthe Washington officials are none too optimistic about the outcome of the attempt to drive all the anarchists from the United States. Those officials whose duty it is to deal directly with the anarchists cannot talk for publication. The officials who can issue orders to immigration inspectors telling them to be alive to their duty have talked for publication, but the talk, like much of the work done, is impotent. Some one here has said that anarchists are made, not born. This is largely true, and anarchists will be made as long as there are anarchist teachers who get within touch of receptive pupils. This means that as long as there are anarchists in the country their ranks will grow daily. Since the shooting of the priest at the altar in Denver and the attempted killing of the chief of police, Shippy, in Chicago, the Senators and Representatives have been busy talking about immigration measures, but they have confined their talking largely to the corridors and cloak rooms. Most of them are just as afraid to-day to pass a restriction bill that means restriction as they were before the shootings gave them sharp excuse for the passing of an absolutely drastic measure. One member, who is not more than one generation removed from being a foreigner himself, told your correspondent that it wouldn't do to draw a line part way up the continent of Europe and to say that no one from below the line should come to this country. "What we ought to do." he said, "is to draw a line down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and another one down the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and to say no one shall cross." Restriction Problem Difficult. When a New York Representative, on the floor of the House, spoke in advocacy ox a really restrictive immigration measure, several Representatives whose constituents are largely Southern Europeans, at once began missionary work. They told the other members what a wrong it would be to punish the many because of the failings of the few, and they did not neglect to touch on the matter of power, the balance of power,of course, which the men coming from some of the European countries hold at the polls in America. One member, an Illinois man, told a colleague who was urging no action, that it would be far better for him and for his people in the future to have all immigration stopped from their native countries for a series cf years, until the United States had opportunity to assimilate those that were here to that point of assimilation which means the dropping of hyphens and writing of themselves as PANAMA CANAL MUS' Former Chief Eufflneer of Istl For rr New Haven, Conn.?John F. Stevens, a vice-president of the New York. New Haven and Hartford Rail road, and a former chief engineer of the Panama Canal, has issued a statement regarding the latter enterprise, in which he prophesies a failure of the undertaking. In this statement Mr. Stevens says that the canal will not help the United States in its trade with South America, as practically all of the inhabitants of the Southern Continent are on the east of the Andes, so that it would be of no advantage to make use of the canal to reach there. Mr. Stevens also says that in our commercial relations with the islands of the Pacific and the Far East the canal will be of little value. Our coal and wheat centres are inland. Their products have to be started on their way by rail. When loaded on cars It would not be cheaper to ship to the Atlantic and then ship to the East by the way of the canal than it would be to send directly to the ports on our Pacific coast and then get on board ship. Vnrfiiprmnrfv Mr. Stevens believes that our coal supply is fast diminishing and that China will be the coal country for the future. Siberia, he says, will bo the wheat country of the future, with India a close second. Mr. Stevens maintains that the Swift Interests Buy 300,000 Acres and 20,000 Cattle in Texas. Austin, Texas.?Major George W. Littlefield, of Austin, closed a deal for the sale of his 300,000 acre ranch, which comprises nearly all the land in Lamb and Hockley counties in the Panhandle of Texas, to a syndicate of Chicago men closely identified with the interests of Swift & Co.. packers, prominent membersof the Beef Trust. He disposed of 20,000 cattle and 500 saddle horses with the land. The total consideration was approximately 23,000,000. Ilalls of Congress. Advocates of woman suffrage made arguments before Senate and House committees. The bill increasing the pay of officers and enlisted men in the amy was passed.

Americans, not only to the full letter ! of the law, but to the full of the 1 American spirit. , The men who have given the sub- i ject of immigration the closest study 1 seem to feel that the work connected j with the keeping out of the criminal < and the anarchistic classes should be done on the other side of the water. They believe that a means can be found by which every intending emigrant from a foreign country can be made to "prove his record" before he shall be allowed to step on shipboard. The immigration inspection laws were useful last year to the extent of i keeping out something fewer than 1000 undesirable citizens. The rec-, ord was 300 better than for the preceding year, and yet the man who at-1 tempted to kill Chief Shippy came in as a "desirable," and it took him only a few months to do something more than prove his undesirability. Educational Test Inadequate. The reading and writing clause which it was proposed to put in the last immigration bill would not have kept out Lazarus Averbach, neither would it have kept out the Denver assassin; and, in fact, it wouldn't have kept out one in a hundred of the real anarchists who seek America. Some other means must be found, if the desire be to debar from the country the men whose "thinking drives them j mad." There is recognition in Washington of the fact that in the heat and pas- j sion following the recent Denver mur- j der, and the attempted assassination j in Chicago, there is a disposition on the part of the police officials to confuss anarchism with socialism and with other forms of thinking and practice which take 110 cognizance of violence in any shape. The difficulty is that in the heat and passion the officials are apt to do things which they ought not to do, and which tend to j increase, rather than to diminish, the plague which they are seeking to eradicate. Another difficulty is that when the heat and the passion have passed, there comes forgetfulness and the officials lapse into the old state of apathy, to stay in it until some new violence rouses them. All that has been said within the last week was said immediately following the assassination of President McKinley. Then anarchism was to ' be killed, and anarchism kept on living, and, from all appearances, it is pretty much alive to-day. The Washington preaching is for systematic and continued pursuit of the anarchists, but the preaching, if one may judge by the past, will not be followed by the practice. Congress can do much with a proper form of immigration bill, but there is no present prospect that Congress cares to undertake the work. r FAIL, SAYS STEVENS. imian Waterway Gives Reasons ! opliecy. Panama Canal ^annot hope to become | anything more than an expense. It will not meet expenses and it will cost more than is expected. It will be an advantage, yes, but an advantage to European countries and not to us. The idea of the canal being of great value to us in times of warfare, since our naval forces can be quickly j sent from one coast to the other, he j says, is utterly absurd. It would take days for the ships to get around, and ! during that time hostile shells could j have done their work. Mr. Stevens believes that it would be a far wiser j plan of defense to put the money that tho canal will cost into a greater navy. Mr. Stevens is not unique, however, as a prophet of evil for ship canals. Forty-odd y<ears ago many British and other mercantile economists were cocksure that the Suez Canal could never pay expenses. Yet for years the directors of that work have had periodically to reduce their tolls on shipping in order to keep their net yearly profits from exceeding the twenty-five per cent, permitted by the charter, and the $20,000,000 worth of shares which the British Government purchased in 1875 are now estimated to be worth fully $155,000,000. There is no objection to Mr. i Stevens keeping company with those ' who went so wide of the Suez mark. Trustees of Northampton Acadpmy of Music Report Gain of $2000. I Northampton, Mass.?The trustees of the Academy of Music have made 1 public their annual report showing j for the financial year, which corre- ! sponds with the calendar year, a j profit of $2000. This showing is the j more satisfactory when it is consid- j ered that it covers a part of the pres- : ent season of hard times. The last two annual reports have shown a profit of $5000, and have done much J to justify Northampton's experiment 1 of maintaining a municipal theatre.
