THEU,S, CONGRESS
Two Old Time Measures
Under Consideration.
Annexation Ministry Not Afraid.
Strike of the British Engineers.
On Seal Preservation.

WASHINGTON, December 10.-At
the opening of the session of the house
today, it was agreed that when the
house adjourned today it would meet
on Monday.
On motion Of Foss, Republican, of
Illinois, Saturday, December IS, was
set apart for paying tribute to the
memory of the late Representative
Cook, of Illinois.
The house then resumed the con-
sideration of the pension appropriation
bill, which was debated yesterday.
Brown, Republican, of Illinois, at
tackled the civil service law because ii
protected some of the pension examin-
ing boards under the last administra-
ton. He said that the soldiers of his
district regarded this law as inimical
to their interests, and he favored its
repeal or radical modification. He de-
clared that the President was mistaken
when he affirmed that the civil service
law had the approval of the people
Republicans and the press of his dis
trict had denounced it.
The house committee on Interstate
commerce and foreign commerce ha:
set Saturday, December IS, for hearing
of the antiscalpfng bill.

GLASGOW, December 1O.-The poll
ing of the non-union engineers on the
proposals made by the employers and
the amalgamated society of engineers
was taken yesterday. The results are
as yet unknown, but it is said that

list engineers will end on Saturday.
LONDON, December 10.-Sir VIM.
Grey, the principal shipbuilder of
Hartlepool has issued a statement OF
the condition of the shipbuilding indus
try, in which he says that the engin-
GERS strike has caused the reduction
Of the outpue by eight large steamers
which means loss Of $4,000 in wages
The London trades council has is
sued a circular to all labor organiza-
tons in the kingdom inviting their
opinion upon the question of calling

RUSSIA CALLS A HALT.

Germany Not to Have Peaceful Posses
sion OF Her Chinese Naval station.
BERLIN, December 11-Throughout
the week peculiar condition of affairs
has prevailed, so far as the press is
concerned. THE Chinese adventure"
as the socialist Schoenlanck in the
reichstag termed the seizure of Kiao
Chou Bay, has engrOssed public inter-
est, yet the government has not deigned
an explanation as to what has been
done or as to what is intended for the
future
What sparse information the foreign
office has furnished proved misleading
or stale. This was especially the case
with the Haytian incident. The very
day the German warships at Port AL
Prince secured obedience to the ulti-
matum, the government through its
various organs proclaimed the naval
that in any case decision could not
be reached for several weeks.
In regard to China, although the
English press has been steadily fur
nishing details, the government here
claimed not to have any advices from
Picking as to the real condition of af-
fairs AS the German Minister to
China, Baron Won Heyking had full
power to deal with the Chinese govern
ment as he thought best, this was a
strange condition of affairs. Baron Won
Buelow, minister of foreign affairs will
shortly make statement in the reich
stag.
Russia will not tolerate the perma-
nent occupation of Kiao Chou Bay by
Germany Information has reached

United States Not Disposed to Act Alone
on Behalf of Seal Preservation.
WASHINGTON, December TO-
Much interest was shown in the initial
meeting of the house committee on for
eign affairs, as it was felt it might
bring an indication of the general line
of policy towards Cuba and the other
subjects before it. Except, however,
in the announcement of the Cuban and
Hawaiian subcommittee, no reference
was made to either of these subjects.
All Of the time of the committee was
given to the question of sealing in
Behring sea. On this question consid-
cradle discussion occurred, which
showed a general sentiment toward re-
striction of American sealers only in
case Great Britain adopts the same
restrictions.
On Cuba, all the phases of the sub
ject were reported in the measures pro-
duced. The most of these was the
Morgan joint resolution, which passed
the Senate at the extra session and was
now referred to this committee. 1t re-
| cognizes a state of war as existing be
tween Spain and the Cuban insurgent:
and declares that the United State:

Really a MeteOrite.

LONDON, December 9.-Lieutenant
Peary, the Arctic explorer, paid visit
yesterday to the British museum,
where he was met by Director Sir VIM.
Fowler, and Curator Fletcher of the
neurological department. Mr.. Fetch
er examined a specimen of the Cape
York meteorite discovered and brought
to New York by Peary, and unhesi-
tatingly declared that it was certainly
of meteoric origin. He added that
no specimen in the British museum had
meteoric characteristics more sharply
or more clearly shown than those Of
the Cape York meteorite.

In Executive session.

WASHINGTON, December lit is
now the Senate program that the pre-
liminary or first consideration of the
Hawaiian Annexation treaty will be in
executive session. Two important
points will be settled thus that should
be properly or ordinarily determined
by caucus. First, terms as to consid-
Grafton, involving limits of debate and
suggestion Of a day for voting will be
discussed. During this consideration
it is more than likely that a test vote
will occur, fixing conclusively whether
the treaty will be pressed in the Sen
ate or substituted by a joint resolu
ton
