The half ddsen speak ers who made up the Jury could not agree, Poultney Blgelow, traveler, friend of the Kaiser, and chief guest at th dinner, said: We should be ashamed to let Japan fight our battle. We have the bulk of trade In the affected territory. We have been backing down before Russia Just as England haa done, and Japan la fighting the battle for American trade. Next to- the American Consul" nothing has done so much aamsge to American trade there as the Russian occupation of Manchuria.

Russia has never conducted a really first-class campaign. We are the only nation that has ever conducted ao brilliant a campalan a the Spanish-American war. in which we brought back th whol army a heroe except the rea-nlar trmn But for God's providence th Rough Riders would nave been chewed up at Santiago had It not been for these un thought of regulars, who crowded around theta en tbe hill."

George Rives and Albert B. Board man, counsel for th commisslom, mad a report en their work at Albany to bring about the passage of the commission's bilhv A communica tion also was received from August Belmont. President of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, asking that Long Acre Square be called Times Square, and tnat the subway station at Broadway and; Forty- second Street be called Times Station.

Before the meeting waa called to order Controller Grout asked Mr. Rives concerning the chance of passing the bills which the commission caused to hav Introduced at Albany. Mr. Hires said he thought the legislators Inclined to be reasonable, and that be bad found Senator Elsberg ready to discuss the wishes of the board. What shout the suggestion that all parties decide on one bill covering- all the points neededt Mr.

Grout asked. "Just before we were leaving Albany." Mr. Rives said. Senator Lewis said something like that. He thought Mr.

Parsons, Mr. Ford, Calvin 8. Tomklna, and th board's counsel would need an understanding." "What are you going to do about It?" asked Mr. Grout. Mr.

Parsons goes to Panama on Saturday, so that leaves him out, and I won't sit down with Ford at any time or place, said Mr. Rives. I shall be pleased to talk with Mr. Tom kins any Urn be chooses to call upon me." President Orf called the meeting to order, and tbe Secretary read th letter from Mr. Belmont In regard to Times Square and Times Station.

Owing to th conspicuous position which Tun Timks tiAlls it beinsr on of th ieadlnsT New Tork Journal, it would seem fitting that the square on which the building stands ehould be known aa 'Times Square and the station as Times Long the present name of tbe square, means nothing, and is not generally known throughout the city. I therefore. on behalf of tho company, apply to the Commls- imu hir lnflueno With the City authorities to change the name of 'Long Acre Square to 'Times and apply to your board for permission to nsme the station rimes citation, rowonmu-therewith." Controller said that nothing could in ths mnlt.r until action had been taken by the Board of Estimate and the- Board of Aldermen to chang the nam of th square, when the Rapid Transit Board could then name the station.

Both Mr. Boardman and Mr. Rives then, were called upon to report on their attendance at Albany at the meetings of the Cities Committee of the 8enate on the Rapid Transit Commission's bills. Mr. Boardman said he believed the commission's bill will hn vennrteil seDaratelv from the Elsberg bill, and that they will pass if the city au thorities indicate thatrthey so aesire.

Mr. Boardman said he and Mr. Rives had objected to several proposed amendments to the hills. amonsT them a nrovision for pipe galleries, and the board voted to approve their action. Mr.

Boardman said he doubted the success of the Elsberg bills at the present session of the Legislature, and spoke of the opposition that would come from the Consolidated Gas and like companies, which are compelled by a provision of th bill to put tneir pipes in in pip puiwiw. Ur Til vsa read a draft of the contract proposed by which the Belmont Interests are permitted to extend their subway across the Brooklyn Park Plaxa and down Flatbush Avenue to the Willlnk entrance of Prospect Park. Mr. Grout aald he would not vote to approve It unless th provision wa eliminated that permitted the operating company to have a surface opening at the Plaza. Mr.

Parsons said th opening was not absolutely necessary, and It had been Included in the plans and draft resolution only because it bad' appeared In the original resolution, which authorised building the Prooklyn subway to the Plata. With Mr. arsons' consent that particular clause was cut out of the contract, and it was further provided that there shall be no station nn the Plaza itself, and none on tbe park side of Flatbush Avenue.

the estimated difference between gold and the greenbacks in which tor fifteen years In terest was. paid on the debt tor their lands In Kansas. There -was opposition on all sides, but the Pennsylvania Senator, by a short but most impressive speech broke down all objections. Said he: The Delaware lived' where I was born, and I nave known them and about thtra all my life. They have been cheated every time they hav had anything to do with the white man.

Where Philadelphia now stands was once theirs, and by sharp dealing under the treaty mad with them by William Penn whereby as much land aa a man could walk around la a day wa to ceded by them, they wer robbed of many millions' worth of property. "In the last century they fought always for the United States, and every Delaware wbo could carry anas fought for the Union in the civil war. They were robbed of lands in Kansas, and are now living among the Cherokee, with neither lands nor money, poor, pitiful beggars of this Government for what is rightfully theirs." The most Important feature of the Indian bill is th radical legislation that haa been placed in it in amendment on matters connected with the rights of Indians In the Indian Territory and Oklahoma. The scandal surrounding the Daeres Commission haa been met by careful legislation. Tbe President has taken a special interest in this bill, and he has Insisted that the vezatioue state ef affairs in the -Indian country should be set right.
