of the erection of some sort of monu-
ment in this city to commemorate the
life and fame of Gen. U. S. Grant. Al
meeting to further the project Gen.

chairman, and Col. c. c. Cadle as sec
rotary. There were also present Sen
ator Villas, congressman Henderson
and Hepburn, of Iowa; Congressman
Hull; Congressman Belknap and Gen.

to ask congress to appropriate $4,000
to be used in getting plans and other
preliminary expenses, and at the next

monument in this city that would be
commensurate in every way with the

A SIGNAL VICTORY
For the Government in Japan-The Queen
of Corea is Dead.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Dispatchesr re-
ceived at the Japanese legation state
that on the 9th inst. vote was taken
in the diet, or japanese congress, upon
a motion to memorabilia the emperor
against the foreign policy of the gov
eminent and especially against its re-
linquishment of the Lao Tung PENN
sula. The motion was defeated by a
vote of 10 to lob. A full membership
he diet is BOG. This result, mas
much as the diet has almost invariably
been hostile to the administration, is
regarded as signal victory for the
government.
Mioura, the Japanese minister to
Corea at the time of the murder Of the
queen, remains in close confinement
in Japan, and his trial for completely
in that crime is being arranged for.
No question is entertained in Japan
that the queen was really killed and
cremated, as stated in dispatches pub
lished at the time. The evidence in
regard to her death and the means en-
ployed to bring it about is said to be
conclusive

MORE EXCITEMENT

The Reported Movement of the Britisb
Flying Squadron, Said to be Now Headed
for bermuda, Furnishes Another Occa-
sion for insiulging in War Talk and Try
ing to Get Up Another Excitement in
the Country.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1s.-A Washington
special says:
The report that the British fiyinp
squadron is to be sent to Bermuda
caused much surprised here yesterday.
and there is talk of introducing a reso-
luton in the house instructing the
committee on foreign affairs to report
On Mr. Livingston's Venezuela resolu.
tons without more delay. No confir-
nation or denial OF the report of the
squadrons movement is obtainable
from authentic sources at the navy de-
partment, but belief exists that il is
probab true. If it proves true to
the satisfaction of the department it is
thought probable that the white
squadron viii be ordered to Venezuela
waters.
i have no doubt of the accuracy of
the report that that British flying
squadron is ordered to Bermuda"
said Congressman Livingston, of Geor-

over. the squadron will go thence to
Venezuela. l knew it the other day
when l offered my resolution directing
the president to check the British adj
vance and to compel them to withdraw
their reinforcements at their Vene-
zuela outposts. I tried so to inform
the house but Routelle objected. The
squadron will, understand, choke the
payment of the $500 damage bill out
of Crespo and then offer him three or
five millions in gold for the disputed
territory. My information is relia-
BILE"
How about the Venezuela constitu-
ton prohibiting the transfer of terri
tory to another nation?"
Five millions Of dollars in gold,
backed up by a crack British squad
ron. are not unlikely to play hell with
South American constitution"
What are you going to do about
it?''
4 can do nothing till the foreign
affairs committee makes its report,
That done, shall push my resolution
directing the president to stop this
hostile action of Great Britain, and
have no doubt it will go through the
house like fash through a train of
powder.
I'VE have got to act. This nation
cannot afford to permit the Vene-
Zuela question to be settled in such,
to US, ignominious manner. The adj
ministration may think it all right and
in conformity with the Monroe doc
trine to have European nations buy
land on this side of the water, but con-
gress does not, neither do the people,

UNPRECEDENTED,
But It Showed that a Responsive Chord
Had Been Struck.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S--Applause fol-
lowing the delivery of prayer in the

but when Chaplain Couden offered the
following invocation: Our Heaven

gree Of spiritual liberty we, as a peo-
pie, enjoy, and our hearts go out
for those in other lands who are strug-
Cling for wider liberty. Especially
do we pray for the Cuhans, and ask
that if they be right their efforts may
be crowned with success. And we pray
that our country may do for them all
that it can without compromising it's
dignity or in disregard of its sacred
obligations and duties to other ma
TONS" there was a lively outbreak Of
Eandclapping all over the floor.
