Washington, Nov. 23. President Roosevelt had a long conference with Secretary Metcnlf at the White House regarding the alleged discrimination against the Japanese residents in San Francisco. Moro than a month ago, when the agitation affecting the alleged discrimination n gainst the Japanese in San Francisco was -at Its

height, the president sent Metcalf to that city to make a thorough and exhaustive investigation with a view to learning at first hand the exact condition of affairs. It was charged that the alleged discrimination consisted,

among, other things, of denying the

Japanese equal school privileges with

me whites, and that there had been threats and overt acts against Japanese merchants.

Keport Not Made Public.

Metcalfs report is now ready, and

was considered very fully by the presi

dent. The secretary has uniformly declined to discuss with the newspapers any of the conclusions he has reached, but it has been generally understood that it would show that the people of San Francisco maintained that what they had done In the matter of school accommodations was entirely within their rights, and that the whole matter vis one of local administration. Whether the president will make Metcalfs report public has not been determined. Ho will give the question full consideration before taking any further steps. Citizenship for Porto Rico. Washington. Nov.28. The president believes the people of Forto Rlc are entitled to Fr.ited States citizenship, and will recommend that this be granted to them in a special message to congress. The president has expressed the opinion that it is lamentable that they do not now enjoy this right. In this connection he noted, that although Porto Rico had sent a delegate to the Pan-American Congress at Illo Janeiro that delegate could not even

House Committee Does Not Know What to Do About It. Washington, Nov. 2S. The house committee on the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill took advantage of the appearance before it of

Public Frlntcr Stillings to discuss the

question of simplified spelling in con gresslonal documents. The subject, in

deed, was forced upon the committee by the fact that the bill represented both the old and the new style of

orthography, the estimates of the treasury being in the new style and the reproduction of the current law hi the old. The discussion dealt almost ex

clusively with the question of practicability and cost.

Attention was called to the fact that

the supreme court of the United States

had refused to recognize the executive order for a change of spelling, and the

question was raised whether by legislative enactment that tribunal, representing a co-ordinate branch of the

government, could be compelled to adopt the "simplified" system. The same question arose with reference to the executive departments, the question there being whether congress could compel those departments to return to the orthodox spelling by legislative enactment. There were so many points at issue that there was no conclusion, but the bill must be arranged exclusively in one style or the other.

Board of Engineers Listens to Men Who Advocate the Chicago-St. Louis Scheme. St. Louis. Nov. 28. The board of engineers of the river and harbor com

mittee heard several gentlemen give reasons why a deep waterway should be dug between Chicago and St. Louis.

All of the speakers had much to tell

of the value of such a waterway, fourteen feet deep. This phase of the sub

ject was emphasized by W. P. Ken-

nett. of St. Louis. R. It. liourland. of

Peoria, 111., also dwelt on this subject,

and so did an address from the Chicago Commercial association, which

was read bv W. R. Kavanaugh.

Dr. W. J. McC.ee, of St. Louis, rep

resenting the Latin-American club and

the Foreign Trade association, made an extended address from the view

point of a geologist. lie estimated

that the sediment poured into the

Mississippi river each year by the Mis

souri river amounted to 100,000,000 tons, and furnished the intricate problem for the engineers who should build the proposed canal; because this must either be removed from or kept out the Mississippi river. Tie said it could and should be kept out.

Detroit, Nov. 28. A Free Press special from Wiarton, Out., says: The coasting steamer J. II. Jones, owned by the Crawford Tug company, a local concern, foundered off Cape Cocker,

last Thursday afternoon, and all hands were lost. The crew consisted of twelve, all from Wiarton, and the number of passengers is estimated at sixteen. The Jones, which plied betwepn Owen sound. Wiarton and

Manitoulin island ports, was one of

the staunchest steamers on the Georgi

an bav and was commanded by Cap

tain Crawford, a fresh water navigator of large experience.

Wreckage That Has Been Found. Tart of the cabin, a lifeboat and two

unidentified bodies have been found by

Indians on the north shore of the Christian islands. Boats are now out from here, Owen Sound, Penetanguishene and Tarry Sound, looking for surviv

ors and wreckage. Coasting boats carry no booking lists but the passengers on the Jones probably include the following: Names of Those Lost. T. J. Donaldson, of Owen sound; Alex. Lyon and Mrs. Lyon; his mother, Mrs. Fox; Frank Falon, George Falon, M. W. Vlteson, Louis Allen, I. M. Wa gg. all of Tobermoray; Dan Melver, of Providence bay. and three unknown men on their way to Manitoulin island to work for Captain Graham. The boat carried the following crew: Captain J. V. Crawford, Mate F. Lennox. Wheelsmen W. Ross, Geo. McFwan, Engineers Chas. N. Shaw and W. Sadler, Fireman Thos. Simmonds, and L. MacVlttie; Deckhands James Tilley and George Smith; Cook Frank Jackson, Assistant Cook M. Clark. Loss of Life May Tleach Forty.

While estimates received here as to the number of lives lost in the wreck of the Tones are as a rule twenty-five or twenty-six, one report says the list of dead may reach the total of forty. The Jones was a wooden vessel built in 1S88. She was 107 feet long and of

12 tons burden.

The late Capt. "Joe" Nicholson

used to tell of a long-time prisoner who had been in the house of correc

tion while the captain ran that insti

tution.

Just before his term expired the

convict cabled the captain that jus

tice was now done and that an honest man would start afresh in the

world.

"But you have told me several times

that you were innocent of the

charge on which you were sent here."

"5o I was, Capt. 'Joe,' and I can

prove It. Here are tne names 01 three witnesses. Get their statements and see whether I am lying."

Just as a matter of curiosity the

captain complied and found convinc

ing evidence of the man's Innocence.

The convict was called in and in

dignantly asked why he had not used his evidence in getting a new trial.

"I'll tell you, captain. In my time was acquitted three or four times

when I was guilty, so when I was convicted of something I never did, I just thought I'd even thing3 up by tak

ing my medicine without kicking. Be

sides that, it sort of tickled me to find that justico had missed me at every shot." Detroit News.
