The Peoria Times cites S. P. Bartlett, Illinois fish commissioner, who for an extended river tour declares the Illinois River the best fish producer in the world.

Witness McKay Tests Veracity Before War Investigators
Washington reports Captain James McKay, veteran Florida and Cuban waters, challenged Colonel Roosevelt on troop transport details. He said rationing, ship designation, and loading were properly managed with no disorder as troops boarded. He also defended Admiral Sampson and explained transport navigation errors caused by a fleet order. Paris peace talks proceed, outlining diplomatic aims without affecting the treaty, including Caroline islands, land cables, religious worship, and trade pacts.
