At the pre: dent’s request he was jolned there shortly after 10 o'clock by Semators Allison, Ald- ich and Spooner, Speaker Henderson and | Representatives Cannon and Grosvenor and the conference lasted until a few minutes after noon. It 1s something of a coincidence that thosé ‘at ‘the conicrence’ today were, with the exception of the president and Sen: tor Spooner, the same men who took part iu the famous conference a few weeks prior to the Spanish war, which resulted in the definite .conclusion that congress should appropriate $50,000,000, to be placed at ths dispasal of the president to prepare for wa Not since that momenlous occasion until today bave the same men been formally summoned for a conference at the White Heuse. .

Mr. Patterson asked < whether the native population on which- the voting franchise is bestowed could not be trusted-to do jury duty. The governor replled in the megative, saying they are #0 used to corruption in the admin- fstration of justice that they could' not be trusted. “They need to be trained,” he said, “to have examples; they are not yet ready for jury duty.” Referring to the code of procedure in the islands, Governor Taft sald in reply to a question by Semator Culberson that it is an American code rather than a Spanish code. Under the Spanish regime, sald Gov- ernor Taft, the courts were not only slug- gish, but notorlously corrupt, and that the | first courts established by General Otis were 10 better. Under Spanish rule there was a substantlal denlal of justice. Referring to the petition of the federal party Governor Taft sald all the cases of imprisonment *eferred to there were for military end not civil offenses. Practically there are no civil prosecutions for political offenses at this time. Governor Taft said that the original draft of the federal party plattorm had been wubmitted to- the com. miselon and ‘that the.declaration for sta bood was then more explieit’ than was ultimately adopted. “My recollection,” he sald, ‘s that we sald to the representatives of tho party that this mnet be far in the future and that we could make no promises one way or the otbor’ “Is not the commission responsible for the formation of the federal party?' asked Senator Dubals. “No, sir; it was not,”, Govermor Taft responded. He gave the names of prominent Filipinos who had the organization. They had, by sulted the members of the commission and the Jatter had encouraged the formation as far ‘ag possible because the party was for peace. The promise of statehood had e no prominent part of the missionary work of the leaders. FAVORS THE NICARAGUA ROUTE Are Better. \SHINGTON, 'Fel railroad contractor, was before the commit- tee on interoceanic canals today and gave information he had'acduired while ‘bullding ten miles of rallroad In Nicaragua. He es- timated the cost of: bullding a railroad to Nicaragua lake at $715,000 a mile. He sald there was no trouble about securing labor In Nicaragua, s there were no unfons to interfere or cause strikes. Mr. Treat.also sald the héalth conditions of Nicaragua were better than Panama.

Speaking at the monthly dinner of the Merchant's club the archbishop specified three kinds of legislation to this end, each of which he regarded as essential to the welfare of the country. By the first an- archist immigration must be excluded; by the second the life of the chief executive must be effectually protected; by the third the ‘formation ‘of plots on American soil against the lives of forelgn rulers must be prohibited and in case congress has no au- thority for such legislation the archbishop saw his way forward unhesitatingly. “Let the constitution be so amended that this authority be allowed it beyond a doubt,” he sald.. “The matter Is of sufficlent serl- ousness to warrant the proposal of an amendment to the constitution.” Of the so-called philosophical anarchist Archbishop Ireland had no good to speak, and he received a round of applause when he sald: “As It fs men who dress up such theories in florld language and cover them with the respectability of a respectful name do im- mense harm and should receive the scorn and contempt of right-thinking men.” The subject assigned to Archbishop Ire land was “The Limitatfons of Liberty."

His majesty, free from jealousy, admires American ingenuity, and as proof has placed the order. He has sent his brother to witness the launching, and this unreserved action Is a comipliment to the Americans and the emperor allke. The prince has no political business in view, but regards it as important that two raclally related nations, who have no politics to fight out anywhere in the world, but on the con- trary have manifold attachments, should be drawn nearer together in mutual confi- denco and respect. Emperor Willlam has ordered that a briet report of the visit be cabled to him daily. He has also ordered Prince Henry to write & detafled report of his experiences and observations during the trip.

The majority of the committee continues to vote amend- ments, against the warning of the govern- ment. An emendment providing for the abolishment of the municipal Octrol duties, still in vogue in some towns, received an overwhelming majority of votes after the imperial gecretary of state for the interior, Count Posadowski-Wehper, had announced that it was contrary to the constitution and that constitutional revision was necessary before the abolition of those duties could be effocted. The amendment adopted yester- day fixing January 1, 1805, for definitely putting the new tariff law In force Is & step of the agrarlafis and Is Intensely embar- rassing for the government, since it is not certaln when the treaty negotiations can be concluded, and the amendment is plainly destgnated o compel the government to in- vite tariff wars, through denunciation of the presént treaties before mew ones are con- cluded. The agrarians in discussing the amend- ment showed their usual anti-American animus. Couni von Kanitz, the an leader, again nrgued that the United States could not aflord a tarlfft war with Gers many, saying it would be “downright sul- cide,” owing to the heavy e: of Amer- ican exports to Germany. The Vossische Zeéltuog answers this assertion by showing that the immense German imports of raw materials from the United States are nec sary—cotton, 269,000,000 marks; corn, 104, 000,000 marks; copper, 101,000,000 marks lard, 60,000,000 marks; petroleum, 68,000,000 marks, etc. Trial of Swindle's Ofcers.

The concern was founded in 1889 with a capital of 350,000 marks for utilizing the waste products of brewerles. Later it pur. chased a patent wood distilling method which proved worthless, nevertheless, Herr Schmidt captured the confidence of the public, and was able to raise the company's capital to 20,000,000 marks. In a dozen parts he established branch wood distil- leries in all the leading continental coun- tries, not one of which had pald expenses. Yet Herr Sshmidt succeeded In launching rose-colored reports of the company's busi- ness, The overseers confessed that they were so fascipated by Herr Schmidt that they trusted him without any examination of the affairs of the company, MUELLER MOVES ON THE QUIET Desized to.

COPENHAGEN, Mouday, Feb. 3.—Corre- spondence of the Assoclated Press.—The Mormons are making strong efforts to galn & permanent foothold in Depmark. It is notorious that this little country has fur- nished a large quota of emigrants for Utah. Somo of the most prominent leaders of this sect are Danes. Danish missionaries who have been sent to work in their native land have not been well received In Deu- mark. Most of them have been banished from the country as soon as it was discovered that they were here to gain converts to their religion and to encourage people {0 emigrite to Utah. " For this réapon their work has often been carried on secretly. The authorities of the Mormon church seem to have decided recently that Den- mark is an exceptionally good fleld for their operations and there are now over 100 Mor- mon missjonaries in this country, under the direetion of a superintendent at Co- penhagen. The missionaries publish an organ in this city and distribute thousands of tracts and a plece of property in the best part of Copenhagen has been purchased on which they intend to build a Mormon temple. Motioy for this is being collected among the Mormons in the United States. 500 Danes are Induced to emigrate to Utah every year. The Danish press is aroused and it Is thought that steps will be taken to pre- vent a Mormon temple being built in the capital of Denmark and to rid the country of Mormor'sm and its propagandists.
