WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—The debate on the Nicaragua canal bill to-day developed & sentiment for giving consideration to the recent offer of the Panama Company 't sell its franchises and property for $10,- 000,000, this sentiment taking the form of advocating the Morris amendment to em- | power the President to select the latter | route if the Canal Commission, upon con- sidering"the company’s offer, recommends | 1t and the required concessions can be ob- tained from Colombia. Of the sixteen members who spoke to- day nine favored the Morris amendment. It was agreed that general débate should { close to-morrow at 2 o'clock, after which the bill may be open to debate under the five-minute rule. The final vote probably will be taken to-morrow. The speakers to-day were Shackleford | of Missouri, Parker of -New Jersey, Lov- ering of Massachusetts, Morris of Minne- sota, Burten of Ohio, Hill of Connecticut, | | Morris amendhlent, and Burgess Tennessee and Lacey of Iowa, for the bill in_its present form. Morris of Minnesota explained the pur- pose of his amendment, which, he said, was not to impede the construction of the canal, but to insure the selection of the best canal.

But since reading the report he was unable to reach a conclusion ag to which was the better route. gentleman could read the report and tell which route the commission would have settled, had the cost and conditions been equal. In embarking upon an enterprise that was to cost $200.000,000, perhaps more, he considered it wise that the experts should have an opportunity to consider the new offer of the Panama Company. If the bill was passed in the form in which it was reported, the President could not entertain the offer of the Pan- ama Company and under it the President by treaty might bind the United States to construet the Nicaraguan canal, even though we afterward became convinced that the other one was the better route.

C., Jan. 8.—According to advices from Kaifeng-fu by the Empress of India, the Tung Wen Hupao publishes a confidential letter addressed to the Grand Counselor, Yung Yu, by the Rus- sian Minister, M. Lessar, immediately after the death of the late Li Hung | Chang. The document been obtained from Japanese sources and is as follows: As your Excellency is doubtless aware, territories of our two countries are in touch with each other and among foreign countries Russia is the nearest meighbor of China from a geographical point of view. affects the interests of the one equally affects those of the other. In consequence of this | Russia has always looked forward to the day i when China may be prosperous and powerful, Unfortunately the Boxer disturbances broke out last year and all the foreign powers took advantage of the occasion to send their hostile , armies into China. Though we tried to re- | frain from participating in the expedition in i vah we labored most strenuously to persuade the allied forces to evacuate Peking as soon as the legations had been relieved. Subse- quently, when the Japanese attempted snatch the power of policing the city of Peking trom the hands of the Chinese authorities, we stood obstinately in their way and so {heir ‘unreasonabls ttempt was frustrated. all the afli powers joined together in dic- nese officials who were suspected by them . of having countenanced the Hoxers, we exerted every effort to get as many officials exempled from punishment as possible, in order to pro- tect the dignity of your country.

China, and sighted and able statesman, who had always been on friendly with us because he knew that Ruesia the only true friend of China. With regard to Manchuria, it is a place | where the present dynasty hag had its origin. How can the Chinese Government permit a number of wolves and tigers to intrude into this important province of the Chinese Empe- ror? But we knew that unless we stepped for- ward China -would be powerless against those Wolves and tigzis. We, thercfore, made haste {in” dispatching a strong army southward to | protect this province from being invaded by the other powers, and our action in this mat- fer has had its desired effect, for by our | strenucus and prompt efforts peace and order have been gradually restored throughout Man- churia. and no foreign pbwer dared to touch the province. Thus the sovereignty of China | in the province has been maintained. | As general peace has been restored and the { court is about to return to the old capital, | it appears: reasonable that we should hand back Manchuria to its proper owner to quiet the mings of those who are inclined to sus- pect thet Russia is alming at absorbing and { annexing this important territory. But after careful consideration, we find that it is not at all opportune for us to do 80 now. And the reason is obvious. for China is new- iy defeated and is.saddled with the burden of unprecedented indemnity. It is not within her power to ratse sufficlent funds to organ- ize and maintain a strong army in Manchuria to defend it. But unless Manchuria is strong- ly garrisoned it is impossible to prevent for- elgm powers from casting a greedy eye on the province. It is for this reason that Russia insists on keeping this important territory under her nominal control until Chine is strong enough to take it back. If we disregard the welfare of China and evacuate Manchuria at the - or anotker of the forelgn powers will step in make permanent occupation.

FréquentEnoountersinWhich the Czar's Men Are No Match for Americans. PEKING, Jan. 8.—While the actual cas- ualties during the fighting at Newchwang between American sailors belonging to the United States gunboat Vickshuig, which is wintering there, and Russian soldiers attached to the garrison at that port are trifiing up to date, the matter has resulted in unpleasantly strained re- lations between the American, Russian and British authorities there. The Wash- ington and St. Petersburg governments are now endeavoring to arrange matters | §o_that there may be no further friction. ["The trouble priginated in the action of some sailors belonging to the British sloop-of-war Algerine, also in wiater | quarters at Newchwang, in carrying ! ashore six rifles for use in a theatrical | performance. The Russian administra- | tion sent a force of men to arrest the British sailors. The Russians, however, by mistake broke into a reading roo: where a party of the Vicksburg men were | seated and tried to arrest them. The Americans resisted, defending themselvcs | | Bromwell of Ohio, Gillett of Massachu- | with chairs.

The bad ouri, Cummings of New York, Gibson of | feeling which arose from tnis incident resulted in several fights whencver Ame: ican or British sallors met Russian sol diers, and the latter, not\being accu: tomed to fist fights, were usually badly worsted. = This condition of affairs cul- minated on New Year's day in_a more serious affray, and the Russian Minister, Paul Lessar, complained to Minister Con- ger that two members of the Vicksburg | crew had fired a revolver at an unoffend- | ing Russian soldier, wounding him in the | arm. Relations between the American and British Consuls and naval commanders and the Russian Administrator at New- chwang are strained, which makes a friendly settlement of the affair difficult. The Administrator attempted to enforce a social code which the foreign officials | refused to recognize and consequently | their relations have been limited to strict- | ly business interviews and these have not | been amicable, consisting mostly on the .one side of protests from the Administra- tor against the conduct of the sailors. The memorandum presented by the Russian Minister to the United States Minister here related to various alleged assaults committed by Americans. On une occasion, it was asserted, three sail- ors attacked a sentry and owed their lives to the sentry’s forbearance in not exercising his right to shoot. The Ad- ministrator demanded that the United States Consul try the offenders, but the commander of the Vicksburg, B. Barry, wrote a curt refusal. Minister Conger is endeavoring to re- store friendly relations at Newchwang. He is urging the United States Consul | re, Henry B. Miller, to co-operate ith the Russian authorities in suppress- ing and punishing violence. The steps 1aken are so far seriously handicapped by the action of the Russians, who refuse to allow foreigners to use the telegraph line. | The foreigners at Newchwang attribute | the trouble largely to lack of tact upon | the part of the Administrator.

BERLIN, Jan. 8.—The speech from the throne, read by the Imperial Chancellor, Count von Bulow, at the opening of the Prussian Diet to-day, took a gloomy view of the econondc situation. It pointed out that the reverue from the state railroads in 1901 fell corsiderably short of the esti- mates and that the whole results of the financial year were disappointing. 1n the budget for 1902 the revenue is es- timated below that of the current year, but the balance between the revenue and the expenditure is to be maintained with- out having recourse to a loan. THe speech announced plans for legis- lation providing for the housing of state workmen and of officials earning small salaries. Considerable credits are demand- ed for the extension of the state rail- r0ads and the promotion and construction of light railroads. A new canal bill, to complete the system of waterways will be submitted. The concluding portion of Emperor William’s speech pointed to the necessity of adopting measures against the agita- tion in the Polish districts of Hastern Prussia, declared that the upholding of the political and economic position of the German element there was necessary for the self-preservation of Prussia and prom- ised that the Government would fulfill its duty in cultivating the German na- tional spirit in that region and in com- | bating with firmness all tendencies hos- tile to the state. In this course the Gov- ernment counted on the support of the German population of East Prussia, as well as on the assistance of the whole nation, which regarded any attempt to drive out the German language as an at- tack on its national honor and dignity. The Reichstag reassembled to-day after the Christmas recess, with rather a slim attendance and the discussion of the esti- mates began. The statement of the finan- clal condition of the empire by Baron Thielmann, Secretary of State for the Treasury, was even more pessimistic on the subject of the declining trade of Ger- many than were his earlier utterances on the question. He said: My former reference to the deterioration of the financial position, which were regarded in many quarters as pessimism, have been co: firmed. Affairs have become even more u favorable than we were able to foresee, as, OW- ing to the economic depression, the receipts have fallen off considerably and the individual states of the empire are no longer able to bear their matricular contributions. Especially this so In the case of the small states. Baron von Thielmann said further that the budget for 191 was the worst in years and that the greatest difficulty was ex- perienced in maintaining a balance be- tween the revenue and expenditure in the estimates for 1902. Count von Stolberg-Wernigerode (Con- servative) discussed the ecOnomic crisis and urged the creation of fresh sources of revenue. Touching on the friendly re- lations existing between Germany and other countries the Count denounced the recent reference of Chamberlain to the German army. Count von Bulow followed. “The last speaker,” said the Count. “alluded to a reference that an English Minister recently made to the German army’s conduct in the Franco-German war. 1 believe. we are all agreed and 1 think all sensible Englishmen agree with us that when a Minister considers himself called upon to justify his policy he does well to leave foreign countries out of the discussion.” WOULD 1SOLATE CONSUMPTIVES State Board of Health Takes Up Matter of Tuberculosis. If the intentions of the members of the State Board of Health as expressed in the meeting which was held yesterday afternoon in the Ferry building are car- ried into effect persons infected with tuberculosis will no longer be permittetd to mingle with the general public.

' The board also decided to take meas- ures to prevent the feeding of tubercu- lous horseflesh to chickens. An attempt will be made to prohibit the shipment of diseased horses from this city to Peta-| If this method falls the board will attempt to prohibit the sale of the Petaluma chickens in this city. The board decided on this step after an in- vestigation by which it was learned that many of the horses which are ground into chicken feed are infected. Steps are to be taken by the board to punish those who are practicing medicine without taking the precaution of secur- ing the credentials necessary. The board decided to ask the State Board of Medi- cal Examiners to prosecute all f{llegal practitioners. Nominations by Roosevelt.

Miller Was Author of Article Defam- ing Garden City. Special Dispatch to The SAN JOSE, created at the preliminary examination of Captain of Police Perry Newberry on the charge of criminal libel this morning by City Editor Andrews of the Los Angeles Times testifying that the article calling San Jose “‘the Sodom of the Pacific Coast” was written by Henry E. Miller of this city. This was a surprise to the defense. Miller is an ex-student of the State; Nor- mal School and was refused a diploma at that institution because he was not deemed fit mentally to teach. Since then Miller has been endeavoring to obtain a diploma from the faculty of the school through an action in court. Justice Wallace’s courtroom was crowd- ed this morning. Franklin Hichborn, who charges Newberry with criminal libel, re- sumed his testimony. He again denied all knowledge of the Los Angeles Times’ ar- ticle or its writer. editor of the Harry Andrews, city Times, was then called Tle denfed have ing told Captain Newberry that Franklin Hichborn had sent them the article, but after much questioning said that Henry E. Miller of San Jose had written the ar- ticle and sent it to the Times. The wit- ness and Mr. Dishman, a correspondent of the Times at Sacramento, had edited the article. They had cut out parts of it and changed the wording in other places. He exonerated Hichborn. General Harrison Gray Otis, editor and owner of the Times, followed along the same lines. He told of Newberry's visit to the Times office, but denied that he had denounced the writer of the article; neith- er did he take Captain Newberry to City Editor Andrews to get the information. As Delmas, counsel for Hichborn, had to 8o to San Francisco, an adjournment was taken at noon until to-morrow morning. The examination promises to drag along for some days, and some interesting pro- ceedings are expected. Many of the wit- nesses Subpofnled on . both sides are prominent politicians, and their examina- tion is expected to touch upon local poli- tics. @ il bl @ NO PROMOTION THI3 SE3SION President Will Veto Any Legislation in Be- half of Schley. Call. Jan. 8.—A sensation was Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Jan. 8,.—Pending ac- tion by the President upon the appeal of Rear Admiral Schley, no action will be taken upon the numerous bills in behalf of that officer which have been introduced | in the Senate and House. ‘This means that no legislatitn for the benefit of Rear Admiral Schley will be en- acted during the present session. If a resolution should adopted _legislating the rear admiral into the grade of vice admiral it will be vetoed by the President. Secretary Long and the court itself will not aseist in the review of the proceed- 1n§s of the court which investigated Rear Admiral Schley's conduct, which will be made by the President and Attorney Gen- eral, except to give assistance in supply- lnf information should it be desired. t was suggested to-day that the Presi- dent in consenting to review the proceed- ings of the court has reflected upon the honesty and judgment of the officers com- posing it. As a matter of fact, the Presi- dent has a high opinion of Admiral Dewey and of Rear Admirals Ramsay and Ben- ham, and there is reason to believe. that he acquainted Rear Admiral Schley with his opinion of these officers. Rear Admiral Schley will make no state- ment concerning the character of the ap- peal he will make to the President. It is expected that it will be a voluminous document, which will follow to a consider- abie extent the bill of exceptions which was submitted to Secretary Long. In view of the prospect that Attorney General Knox will examine the proceedings of the court, there is considerable comment as to his attitude with respect to Rear Admiral hley. Knox has not taken sides in the controversy. It is recalled that he denied summer to designate an assistant attor- ney general to assist the judge advocate in cross-examination of witnesses called during the investigation. This has created the impression that he is an admirer of Rear Admiral Schley. The Navy Depart- ment has no objection, however, to a reference of the Whole matter to him for review.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8—During consid- eration by the Senate to-day of private legislation some statements were made by Gallinger, chairman of the Committee on Pensions, in respect to regulations adopt- ed by the committee to govern it in con- sideration of private pension bills. He announced that none but absolutely mer- itorious cases would be presented to the Senate for its consideration and that the closest scrutiny would be given by the committee to every bill introduced. e sald that no pension exceeding month- would -be recommended by committee for the widow of a general of- ficer and that pensions for the widows of other officers would be scaled down pro- porticrately. The interesting case of Dr. Lazeare, who at. the instance of Johns Hopkins Uniyersity and of the Government went to Cuba and submitted himself to inocu- lation to yellow fever through mosquito bites and died from the disease thus con- tracted, was bmnght to the Senate’s at- tention’ by McComas, who. inquired whether Dr. Lazeare's widow would be entitled to a pension. No decision was reached, but it was the opinion of Sen- ators Gallinger and Cockrell that she had no pensionable status.

The foreman immediately notified -his firm in Los Angeles, and soon afterward | Sheriff Hammel wired Deputy Sheriff Ben | Davisson of Duarte to go to Monrovia | and protect the Chinese laborers from-any injury or violence. He stated that depu- ties would arrive from Los Angeles early in the morning to relieve him and guar- antee the safety of the Chinese. The packing firm of Bruner & Smith of Los Angeles, operating here, was notified that at an. indignation meeting held last night it was decided that their gang of Chinese must leave the town. The firm's foreman, Wilson, who arrived from Los Angeles this morning, was met by a com- mittee and informed of the determination of the laboring men of Monrovia and Duarte. Wilson_ notified them that the Chinese were brought here to pack oranges, and that he would not listen to any proposition that sought their expui- sion from the town. * The committee immediately went to tha packing-house and notified” the Chinese that they must leave town to-day; that if"they did they would not be molested, but if they refused they must take the ccnsequences; that the white laboring men of the community, backed by public sentiment, were thoroughly aroused and did not propose to permit foreign cheap labor to come in here and take the work that belonged to those who lived here and paid taxes and helped to support the town. Wilson protested against what he termed unlawful intimidation, claiming that the Chinese were employed because it was impossible to secure white labor. and notified the Chinese that he would see they were protected in their rights if they -would continue to work. Af a short consultation among themselves the Chinese agreed to leave the town this ‘afternoon. They quit work at noon and nothing has been done at the pack- ing-house this afternoon. Wilson threat- ered to keep the men at work under a. guard, but the Chinese were thoroughly jrightered and no inducemeint would get them to go to work again.
