My lords and gentlemen: My rela-

friendly and on a satisfactory footing.
An agreement has been concluded, af-

AZ regret to say the war between
China and Japan still continues.

understanding with the powers !nter-

no favorable opportunity of promoting
a peaceful termination of the contest.
In consequence of reports which
reached my government, Of excuses
committed by Turkish troops, regular
or irregular, on the Armenians in the
district of Asia Minor, I thought it
right, in conjunction with other pow
erS, TO make representations to the
Porte. The sultan has declared his in
tention of severely Furnishing any of
his officers or soldiers who have been
guilty Of such acts, and has sent a
commission to conduct an Investigation
on the spot. Delegates from the pow
ers which have consuls at Erzeroum
will accompany this commission.
Il am happy to observe the striking
fact that in Ireland offenses of all kinds
against the laws have sunk during the
past year to the lowest level hitherto
marked in the official records. Propos-
ais will be submitted to you for rem
edying the defects which experience
has brought to light in the working OF

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Western Passenger
affairs have gone to the bad all at once,
and are now in a worse nnuddle than
they have been at any time during the
past six weeks.
The Union Pacific is the cause of the
difficulty, and to say that the represent
atives of the other lines are weary OF
the manner in which that line acts IS
putting it very mild.
To begin with, General Passenger Agent
LomaX of the Union Pacific. announced
today that his line did not intend to open
up the Oregon Short Line, as was an
nounced on Saturday. 1t was first
claimed that the resolution offered in
the meeting by Mr.. Lomax opening up
the Oregon Short Line was misunder-
stood by all the other lines, and that IN
reality the Union Pacific had no tnten-
lines intimated very positively that they
had not misunderstood the resolution,
and the Union Pacific then claimed that
it had been entrapped and that IN any
event it would not open up the Oregon
Short Line.
This announcement sent matters back
with a jerk to the original position; the
boycott against the Union Pacific by the
Rock Island and Burlington was again
declared in force and matters were worse
than at the beginning, for everybody was
full of wrath and signs Of an agreement
were far less numerous than symptoms
of fight.
The Union Pacific then demanded the
insertion of a rule in the rate-sheet Civ
ing the impression that rates from Mis-:
souri, river points to San Francisco anC
other California points were applicable
only over its line. This was virtually
asking the other transcontinental line;
TO admit tina the Union Pacific was the
only road between the Missouri river ant
California The other lines lost no time
in refusing this proposition, and there
the matter rests for the present.
The situation has been further compli
Gated by the announcement Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific that it viii not become {
member of the Western Trunk conmitte'
until the Union Pacific has Joined it.

Interstate Commerce Offenders.

st. Louis, Feb. 5.-The trial of officers
of the Wabash & Lackawanna rail-
roads charged with violating the inter
state commerce law. was resumed to-
day in the United States district court
before Judge Phillips. The govern
ment closed its verbal testimony and
put in a lot of documentary evidence
in the form of freight tariffs and
agreements. Among the latter was
one between the Wabash and other
lines, by which the Wabash was able
to offer its shippers a continuous route
to New York. Counsel for the defense
objected to the Introduction of these
documents, but the court, after con-
siderable argument. decided to admit
the papers as evidence. Mr.. Block, Of
Buffalo, representing the Lackawanna
road, moved the discharge of Messrs.
Spriggs and Fell, of Cleveland and Buff
falo, on the ground that the offenses,
if any, were committed outside the
jurisdiction of the court. Judge Phil
lips thought that the offenses were
committed where the money was paid.
But proof as to Spriggs' guilt was
scanty, and he said he would direct
acquittal as to him. The evidence
against Milton Knight, freight traffic
manager of the Wabash, was held to
be insufficient by Judge Phillips, and
he was also acquitted. The case for
the defendants will be argued and con-
Guided tomorrow.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-The cabi-
net was in session from before 10 a. m.
till after 2:45 p. m.
The object of discussion was the
pending bond issue. Several prominent
bankers are here, among them j. PhSr-
pont Morgan, and while they have Apt
seen either the President or Mr.. Or
Isle. it is understood that their yiSeTs
on the situation were conveyed TO the
President today. No authoritative
statement of the character of the
cabinet discussion can be made, but it
is believed that no final action has
been determined upon.
1t is understood that negotiations
with representatives of London bank
ers are In progress with indications Of
an early cOnSuplmatiOn. There is no
longer any expectation Of popular
loan to be placed in this country as in
/ that event the experience of the last
few months would be repeated and the
gold reserve depleted.
The purpose of the administration, It
is understood is to place the entire -
sue of bonds with London bankers,
who would pay for them in London
gold and thus avoid, for the present
at least, the necessity for paying out
gold in exchange for legal tenders.
} While no definite conclusion has been
reached, it is believed that the an
uouucement of the sale of the bonds
will be made at an early day.
