A large part of the conference was taken up discussing -various proposals- for the purchase of the entire properties. Creditors have expressed a desire to stand by the syndicate and if possible as- sist them in keeping the property under their confrol. They favor the depositing of all the stock and bonds of the con- stituent companies owned by the Federal Telephone =~ Company in some big trust company, to be used as collateral securi- ties for a new issue of bonds, those bonds to be accepted as payment of the claims held by the creditors, and thus enable the syndicate to go on with the operation of the company and keep it under its control. If the plan goes through it will furnish | ready money to finish uncompleted plants, principally at Detroit and Dayton. Members of the committee feel more confident than ever that the securities will be kept up to their full value. It is also emphatically stated that the situa- | tion in regard to the traction companies in which the syndicate has a_ controlling interest is very favorable and that none of the traction companiesswill be sold. The bankers’ committee will resume its sessions to-morrow afternoon.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 12.—The party of dis- tinguished army officers who are charged upon sites for the proposed camp for mil- itary maneuvers arrived on a special train from the north at 3 o'clock this morning and shortly ‘afierward crossed the bay and went to the Hotel del Coronado. The party consists of Major General 8. B. M. Young, commanding the Department of California; Brigadier General G. M. Ran- dall, commanding the Department of the Columbia; Brigadier General W. A, Kobbe, recently returned from the Phil- ippines on leave of absence, and Lieu- tenant McKinley, aid to General Young. This afternoon a committee of the Chamber of Commerce called upon the visitors and took them for a drive about Coronado and_ North Island, which has been suggested as the site of a military . The guests were also given a drive about San Diega. General Young said that while the mission of the party was to examine sites for the camp of maneu- vers, the members had no authority to report on any location south of the thir- {y-Arth parallel, which would mean that their jurisdiction ends about at San Luis Obispo. He added that the party might go as far east as Reno Nev., and possi- bly the tour might be still farther extend- ed. They are to leave for Los Angeles some time to-night. . GERMAN CATHOLICS TO HOLD A CONVENTION Menmbers of the Staats Verband Will Gather in the Garden City. SAN JOSE, Jan. 12.—The German Cath- | olies of California, who two years ago organized a State union under the name of Staats Verband, will hold their annual convention in this eity on August 31 and *September 1.

INCENDIARY ATTEMP TO D!iTROY A HOTEL Coal-0il Lamp Overturned in a ' OCloset, but Blaze Is Ex- tinguished. i SAN Ji Jan. 12—An attempt was made ear¥ “this morning to burn the Telescopé’ Hotel at the corner of Bassett and Little Market streets. The fire was started in a closet in the rear of the building. A coal oil lamp which hung near a rear exit was taken from the fix- tures and overturned in the closet. The fire was discovered and _extin- guished in time to prevent a serious con- gration. A number of guests were asleep in the hotel at the time, This is the third nttemrt that has been made to burn this hostelry. 4 30 SR Footpads Busy in the South.

LONDON, Jan. 12.—The advance that was recently made on the Stock Exchange on the strength of more encouraging news | from South Africa was not maintained | during the last week, except in the shares | of the British Chartered South African Company and Kaffirs. It is said by some observers, however, that the movement in the shares of the Chartered Company is largely artificial. The majority of securities on the Stock Exchange were dull and depressed during the past week, howéver, Americans iag- | ging generally below patity. Home ralls | Svere very dull‘in spite of the confident talk of improved dividends. The chief | causes of public dissatisfaction with the | present situation arising from the failure | of the War Office to show substantial re- sults in South Africa after the recent op- timistic predictions of the collapse of Boer resistance, and from a further large loan expected next March or April, which it is believed will adversely affect prices. There is much interest in the great to- bacco combine, to be floated with the pur- pose of fighting against tobacco interests. In connection with this combine, there are | rumors of American tapiff concessions for Cuban tobacco and it 1s said if these be consummated they are likely to upset the entire British tobacco market and cause a further serious disturbance. These | rumors have already agitated this branch of industrial securities. BERLIN, Jan. 12—Notwithstanding the unfavorable view of the condition of busi- ness given in Emperor Willlam’'s speech from the throne, read by Count ven | Bulow at the opening of the Prussian | Diet January 8, and the pessimistic sur- vey of the finances of the empire by Baron von Thielmann, Secretary of the Imperial Trensuri, the Boerse had an- other strong week. The upward move- ment is assuming greater dimensions and affecting more industrials such as cement, machinery, electricalagnd textile concerns. On some days .last week an uncommon actlyity was developed. The reviews emphasize the fact that money is now easier at Berlin than any other place in Europe. The ease of money has caused all foreign exchange to rise, the exchange on Paris rising to the gold } ity in new municipal leans, nounces a loan of 11,000,000 marks; Offen- ach one of 6,000,000 and Bonn one of 4,000,- 000 marks. The above loans bear from 3 to 4% per cent interest. Shares of the ocean steamship com- panies were very quiet, as were American securities with the exception of Canadi- ans, which were more active upon New York advices. The reports of'iron indusgry continue to be mainly faverable. A number of rice advances were announced last week, Bhe mills of Western Germany, advanced the price of iron 5 marks to 105 marks, the Silesian works did the same thing and the Baron Iron ociation announced a similar increase. + erous textile centers announce an improved situation and Plauen has large American orders.

I SENATE ACTION ON_GANAL BILL House Measure Will Be Reported Without Change. ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.--The Senate is still without any definite plan of action for the future and the indications are that the present week will witness a greater display of activity in the Senate com- mitteé rooms than in the Senate cham- ber. There are very few matters of im- portance on the calendar, but enough to engage attention for a few hours each day until Thursday, when probably will adjourn for the week. Among the measures which there will be an effort to get out of committee dur- ing the week are: The Nicaraguan canal bill, the Philippine tariff bill and the ship subsidy bill. The indications are that the Nicaragua bill will be reported practically as it passed the House, and that the ship- ping bill will not be materially amended but the Republican leaders have pracc- cally decided to make a material reduc- tion of the tariff on ‘Philippine imports. It is not probable that the discussion of either of these questions will begin for some time. The utmost that is to be ex- pected in that direction is a preliminary arrangement for consideration. the measures shall receive first attention iS not yet determined and considerable | rivalry is likely to develop for precedence. All of the three measures will be debated at some length when taken up by the Senate. The really important work of the House of Representatives, aside from the Nica- raguan canal bill, is still in the committee stage, so that there is little of importance to be'considered during the coming week. Monday will be given to bills affecting the District of Columbia. After that the pension appropriation bill will be passed. Although this measure carries about $139,- 000,000, it follows the department estimates and does not involve any serious issues, so that after a brief expianation its pas- sage usually follows promptly. The Ways and Means Committee has a few minor bills on the calendar for the redemption of revenue stamp’s made worthless by the repeal of certain features of the war rev- enue act. With the disposal of these bills there wiil be little to engage the atten- tion of the House, and there promises to be several periods of adjournment, dur- | ing which time the commitiees ect the largest measures to before the House. be: Brought The chief interest of the week will cen- ter in hearings on Cuban xeggroclxy. to | begin at 10 o'clock on Wednesday morr ing before the Ways and Means Commut- tee. The hearings Sl gouttuue several days, and it i3 expected that General ‘Wood, prominent in Cuban aftairs, as well as the interests opposed to will address the committee. r::‘ L NEWFOUNDLAND AWAITS POLICY OF GREAT BRITAIN Hopes to Effect an Acceptable Ar- rangement Concerning Shore Modus Vivendi.

The representative of the | Daily Mail claims to know that Emperor William will not suffer Count von Bulow to make any more concessions to the An- glophobe feeling. This correspondent says a successor to Count von Bulow is al- ready knocking at the door and will glad- ly enter and try to better interpret the Emperor’'s wishes. On the other hand, the Berlin corre- spondent of the Daily Chronicle believes that the tardy official denial of the state- ment that Emperor William was going to England shows that the latter has changed his mind because of the Von Bulow-Chamberlain dispute, and that Em- peror Willlam originaily intenged to be resent at the memorial service for the ate Queen Victoria at, Frogmore.

PARIS, Jan. 12.—According to La Presse, the battleship Massena is outfitting at Brest to take President Loubet to St. Petersburg to return the visit of the Rus- sian Czar to France.
