It will probably be rat- | ified’ on Monday. | Dr. Amador, who will be elected President of the republic on Monday, | will assume office on Wednesday. The article which authorizes the United States to restore order in the republic of Panama, should order be | disturbed, has been retained in the constitution. Pablo Arosemona has been made president of the Constitutional Con- vention and Aristides Arjona and Cirio Urriola are vice-presidents of that body. WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. — Consul Malmrose, at Colon, cables the State Department to-day that Mr. Russell, who is going to Panama to take charge of the American legation, has just arrived at Colon and reports all quiet at Cartagena. It is said that no determination has yet been reached to appoint a2 minister to succeed Mr. Buchanan. If such an appointment is made it probably will go to Mr. Rus- sell; if not, he, in all likelihood, will be made a member of a permanent com- mission, which is to be charged with the administration of affairs in the canal strip. e ——— Vigan Mutineers Are Captured.

In the room of the Military Affairs Committee of the House hangs the photograph of a very old man. He has about him all the signs of extreme age, even to the teeth which protrude from half-opened lips. Underneath is the legend: “The likeness of John Kitts (aged 108 vears), the last Revolution- ary soldier. Presented by himself to the House of Representatives of the Forty-first Congress as a token of his gratitude for their liberal donation and kindness to him.” There is no- body about the Capitol who remem- bers the circumstances to which this legend refers, but the picture is fre- quently pointed out as an illustration of the probabilities of the continuance of pension legislation growing out of the civil war. The Forty-first Con- gress came to an end in 1871, eighty- eight years after the close of the Revo- lutionary war. If the veterans of the civil war show an equal longevity the last will not be' removed from the scene of possible Congressional relief until 1948, which, Uncle Joe Cannon says, is a long way ahead.—New York Globe.

IGHINST THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT | THE CALL’S SUMMARY OF EVENTS IN THE FAR EAST WAR From St. Petersburg under this morning’s date came a report of the receipt of an official telegram from Port Arthur, which said the lights of Japanese ships were seen off Kiuchau on Thursday, and adding that it was probable a big sea fight was in progress off Wiju, the booming of heavy cannon having been dis- tinctly heard after six Japanese battleships had appeared off Tatungkong, on the estuary of the Yalu. Japancse advices received in London gave the somewhat startling report that three of the giant cruis- ers of the Viadivostok fleet had been torpedoed near Hakodate in the Straits of Tsugaro, but small credence was placed in the story even by the Jupanese in London. Russia and France have decided to accept the American note on China, but it was added that this ac- tion had been forced upon Russia, the feeling in St. Petersburg being that America, in connection with its action in this regard, had shown that it was distinctly and aggressively pro-Japancse in the present crisis.

ATTITUDE TOWARD NEUTRALITY, OF CHINESE EMPIRE PARIS, Feb. 13.—The Japanese lega- tion here to-day gave out the text of a lengthy cable message from Tokio de- fining Japan’s attitude toward the neutrality of China. It says China should observe strict neutrality and lays down the following principles: “First—The belligerents are morally bound to reduce to a minimum the area of war. To this end the war op- erations should be geographically lim- ited. “Second—The number of belligerent | powers should be reduced as much as possible and the war should be con- fined to Japan and Russia in order to prevent a general conflagration. | “Third—It Is of the utmost impor- tance = that order be preserved throughout the interior of China and at the treaty ports. Therefore, Japan has: instructed her Minister at Peking to-urge upon Prince Ching that China scrupulously observe neutrality, main- supplies: :te- the.-belligerents. China should also keep sufficient garrisons |at Shanhaikwan and other strategit | points to prevent & breach of melitralk- ity and see that all territory except | Manchuria is free from war opera- | tions. : | “Under the foregoing conditions, disease, therefore, when through neglect or other | Japan will respect China’s neutrality.” — | RUSSIA NOW REGARDS | THE UNITED STATES ‘ AS AN OPEN ENEMY | | Cable to The Call and New York Special Herald. _Copyright, 1904, by the New York Herald Publishing Company.

Risk of Shipping Contraband Goods to Asia " Customs Collector Stratton yester- day issued a circular to the leading merchants and shippers in this city defining what is meant by contraband of war. The following are extracts: The' term contraband of war comprehends only articles having a belligerent destination, as to an enemy’s port or fieet. With this ex- planation the following articles are, for the present, to be treated as contraband: Absolutely contraband—Ordnance; machine guns and their appliances, and the parts there- of; armor plate, and whatever pertaips to the offensive and defensive armament of naval ves. sels; arms and instruments of irom, steel, Dbrass cr copper, or of any other material, such arms and instruments being _specially adapted for use in war by land or a; tor- pedoes and their appurtenances; cases for mines, of whatever material; engineering and transport materials, such as gun carriages, caissons, cartridge boxes, campaigning forses, canteens, pontoons, ordnance stores; portable range finders; signal flags destined for naval use; ammunition and explosives of all Kinds; | machinery for the manufacture of arme and munitions of war; saltpeter; military accou- trements and equipments of 'all sorts; horses. Conditionally - contraband—Coal, when des- tined for a aaval station, a port of call, or a ship or ships of the enemy; materials for the construetion of railways or telegraphs, and money, when such materials or money are destined for the enemy's forces; provisions, when destined for an enemy’s ship or, ships, or for a place that is besieged, or R These are articles understood by the laws of nations to be either doubtfully or absolutely contraband of war and such goods destined for either Russian or Japanise ports will rot be protected by the American flag, but may be subject to seizure. i Generally sbeaking, therefore, munitions of war and whatever is essential to belligerents support are contraband. Merchandise may be- come such wben destined for port of equip- ment or for the support of an army. In such latter event the exporter must take all such chances of seizure and must protect | himself, If at all, through war risk clauses in ‘insyrance poligies. Yoy “not. facluded, in_either of the above categories of either absolutely or conditional contraband will be protected by the American flag where the goods are exported in merchant or other vessels of the United States.

Apart from his occasional attention to gardening, Mr. Chamberlain is probably as busy when at Highbury as during his heaviest official work. His correspondence and public duties | have rather increased than otherwise with his relinquishment of official life. Two hundred letters, on an average, are received by him each day. All are read 4and answered personally, with the aid of a private secretary and com- petent shorthand writers. This cor- respondence has to be dealt with most carefully, for artful opponents-are for- ever laying cunning traps for the Birmingham statesman, and too faith- ful friends are but little less trouble- |some with their suggestions and conundrums. The house is beset with newspaper correspondents, with whom Mr. Cham- | berlain is always popular. He talks |freely with them and fully appreciates the power and influence of the press; yet no correspondent has .ever ex- tracted a secret from him. He works having accustomed him to late hours. Three in the morning often finds him still at his desk. His speeches are carefully prepared and are privately decfaimed to his secretary the day be- fore delivery, the statesman mean- while smoking a brier pipe or a fat, black cigar.—Book Lovers' Magazine. ’Conthmed From Page 21, Column 7. Rumored Japanese Victory CLL AR SR satisfaction in Great Britain, |but the extent of popular ju- bilation finds no expression in the London press, which is care- ful not to offend Russia. From the point of view of the man in the street Great Britain’s Far East- ern ally had exceeded all expectations, and even the naval and military offi- cers who prophesied initial successes for Japan are surprised. The total or partial disablement of nine Russian war vessels in the opening week of the struggle is generally considered by ex- perts here as giving Japan control of the Far Eastern seas. Lord Salisbury’s | much-criticized treaty with the rising | power in the Orient now stands among the most popular steps undertaken by any British statesman. Countless deductions, both military | and naval, are drawn publicly and privately from the dramatic events which have occurred since Monday, and all the inherent naval Interest pervading the United Kingdom - has been stirred to its depths by the duel between Viceroy Alexieff anid Admiral Togo. If the British themselves had beemn involved in the movements of the opposing fleets they could scarcely have followed them with keener zest. What strikes those responsible for the naval policy of Great Britain as most remarkable is the extraordinary disproportion between the loss inflict- ed and the loss sustained by Japan. The immunity of the fleets of the United States at Manila and Santiago astounded the naval authorities here, and now when Japan, to all intents, gains control of the sea without the loss of a single war vessel and with | only four men killed, high naval and | military officers in London openly con- | fess that they are amazed. Putting Japan’s experience during the past week side by side with the results of American engagements against the Spanish navy, the authori- ties here have come to the important conclusion that the efficiency of the navy personnel possesses an infinitely greater value than has ever been at- tributed to it. —— Coal for 371 Years. Such is the question discussed in the London Engineering Magazine for December. It appears that there is coal in the United Kingdom to a depth of 4000 feet, sufficient, at about the present rate of output, to suffice for 371 years, but that this period will be considerably extended, seeing that, there is every probability that mining can be carried on to a depth of 7000 | feet, though at this depth thers will | not be anything like the area of coal | that there is at the former limit. It is also reasonable to “expect that this period of supply may be still further extended by a more economical use of fuel, due to the establishment of cen- tral electrical supply stations and the utilization of Mond and other gas pro- ducing processes and of gas driven en- gines, as well as other means of ob- Sunday, 14 Pebruary, 1004, A serviceable chair for $1.50 A good-looking chair, built for long use.
