WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The ex-
pected conference between Secretary
Alger and Mr.. Seton, the Canadian
minister of the interior, did not take
place this afternoon. Secretary Alger
had oVer-rated his strength and found
that he was not sufficiently recovered
from his illness to undertake the work
of arranging details of the Klondike
relief expedition. The Canadian visi-
tors are to remain in Washington for a
few days, however, so that the confer
ence is simply postponed for a short
time.
Mr.. Seton, and his secretary, Mr..
McKenna, were waited upon at their
hotel this morning, by Assistant Secre-
tary Meikeljohn, of tne war depart
ment, and welcomed in the name of
Secretary Alger. They were then
driven around the suburbs, including
the soldiers home grounds, until noon
when Secretary Alger, who had arisen
from his sick bed for the purpose, en-
tertained his visitors at luncheon. 1t

day from a point 600 miles northwest
Of Quebec, Can. There were sent to

to farmers in this locality who are en-

these have been shipped in as a test.
MAJ ]. A. Picker was in the city a

does claim that he is not seeking a
position at the hands of the present ad-
ministration. Nor did he say that he
would not enter the contest for a seat
in congress at the next election. Just
at present he is interested in a big lot
of cattle up in Faux county from
which he hopes to realize as much
money as he would from a seat in the
lower house Of congress. There is no
doubt but that Maj. Picker will be in
the field for congress long before the as

MISSIONS IN CHINA
To Be Inspected BY the American
ROnrd.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 28-At a meet
ing OF the prudential committee Of the
American board of foreign missions to-
day, it was voted to send a deputation
to China, consisting of Rev. Judson
Smith, D. D. secretary Of the foreign de-
rartment; Col. Charles Hawkins, and
Samuel H. Shapleigh, of Allston. The
visit is made in response to urgent and
repeated invitations from the North
China, Foo Chow and Shansi missions.
They wish the executive officers to
know their work and its surroundings
as they themselves know it, by actual
contact and observation. The visit is
to be made during the earlier months
of the year. 1t will begin with the
South China mission and move north
ward with the advancing season, first
to the Foo Chow mission, thence to the
North China mission, with a month or
more allowed for the Chansi mission
Every mission will be visited and as
far as practical every station in each
mission and enough out-stationS to
make the deputation familiar with the
methods of work and with the native
laborers and the homes of the native
Christians.
The questions on which light will be
sought are such as these: The location
of the several missions; the opportunity
for work: success in the work; the
adequacy of the mission force; the
housing of the missions and the condi.
ton of the mission premises; the native
agency and the means Of training it,;
the mission schools and their work;
the medical work: the literary work;
woman's work; missionary opportuni-
ties; means of making the work more
effective; the question Of self-support.
This is the first deputation to China to
be sent by the American board.

ing Secretary Ayers invitation to
come to Washington for the purpose of
consulting respecting Klondike relief
measures, telegraphed that his govern
ment was heartily in favor of the CO.
operation with the United States au-
thorities in the effort TO aid the miners
in the Klondike.
From the advices Of the Canadians,
1t is likely that Skaguay will be chosen
instead Of Dyea as the terminal port
of the relief expeditions. The reasons
for this choice is said to be the fact
that Skaguay has wharves at which
the ships can discharge cargo directly,
while at Dyea there is nothing but
lighters to land the goods.
Mr.. Seton said tonight that he hoped
to conclude his visit within the next
two days and that there was no doubt
the two governments could make an
arrangement which would be mutually
beneficial in extending relief to the
Klondikers. The minister's attention
was called to reports that Canada
might not be willing to cooperate in
the use Of the military arm of the gov
eminent, as provided by the bill which
recently became law. He said, how
ever, that he apprehended no difficulty
In that direction, as the only purpose
of the two governments was to effect
the relief in the most feasible way pos
sible There appears to be no desire on
the part of the Canadian officials to in
terpose any technical obstacles to the
execution of the relief measures, and
for this reason it is expected satisfac-
tory agreement will be reached within
the next two days.
Capt. Brainard has been authorized
to issue tomorrow the advertisements
for the supplies that are TO be carried
on the relief expeditions. They prob
ably will appear in newspapers in Chi
cago, Seattle, Portland and San Fran
cisco. The list of rticles to be carried
has been arranged with the greatest
care by the quartermaster's delart-
ment, and after consultation with Sur
geon General Sternberg. Only the
most vitality necessary food articles
which combine resistance to cold and
decay with great nutritive value are
being selected. The list is as follows:
List Nc. 1 includes absolutely in
dispensable articles and is made up of
bacon, -four, peameal, onions, tea, salt
and pepper. These things are to go If
anything is taken. 1t will be noticed

CHARITY NOT INTERVENTION.
Minister de LONE Deprecates Mix.
ing Politics and Aims Giving.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28-Dupuy de
LONE, the Spanish minister, expresses
strong disapproval of reports that the
relief measures adopted by the United
States and co-operated in by Spain are
a step toward Intervention by this gov
eminent in the affairs of Cuba The
minister characterizes such reports as
an effort to mix politics with charity
and as calculated to excite i'll feeling
which will embarrass the charitable
movement and impede its execution in
Havana and throughout the island. Re-
ferring to the subject he said today:
This talk of intervention in certain
quarters has no other purpose than to
embitter both countries and to divert
the original essential purpose Of aims
giving. The extension Of aid to the suf-
ferers in Cuba is no more intervention
than was the action Of all the nations
of the Notwithstanding Spain-to ex-
tend help to Chicago after the big fire,
or that of the United States in sending
a shipload of grain to Russia and last
year to India and to the city Of London
in sending food and money to Paris
when the seige by the Germans was
raised"

CLAIMS OF AssIGNEEs.
Several Who Want an Adjustment of
Fees

Judges Smith, Simpson, MCGEE and Lam
caster occupied the bench in the main court
room yesterday for the purpose of hearing
the arguments and evidence in the applica-
tons for fees in eight assignments. This is
the first sitting in which the new rule has
been put into effect, which requires attor-
neys in assignments, and assignees. to ap-
pear before the full bench in support of
their demands.
Only two matters were heard in the
morning, and both were taken under ad-
visement. In the assignment of A. E. Hor-
ton the assignee had been unable to collect
enough to pay the expenses and fees asked.
There was about 5000 short of paying the
attorney and assignee. However they were
willing to take all they had and give the
court quit claim. There were several at
torneys present to object who insisted that
they should have few dollars out of the
$3.50 that was left.
In the assignment of the NJ D. Cox Fur
niture company, S. S. Kilvington has left
It to the court as to what his fees shall be.
his attorney, j. L. Dobbin, asked the court
for 500 as his share, and there was no one
present to object. However, 1t is the court
that is doing the Directing now, and the mat
ter was taken under advisenent like the
other one.
John w. Arctander presented a bill for
$3,3S5 for legal services in the case of Olson
VS.. the State Bank, after the entry of judg-
ment He had already been paid $4,000 in
ceiver, was also submitted, and the court took
the matter under Amusement.
Capt. Hart appeared with request that
he be allowed 5000 for his work in Directing
to the account of the Minneapolis Trust com
pany as receiver of the Northwestern Guar
anty Loan company. 1t was true that Judge
Russell had denied the same petition, but
Hart brought it again before the full bench.
He claimed that he had saved the estate con-
siderable money and was entitled to his fees.
THE work that was done by Capt Hart, "
said Col. Dodge, appearing for the Trust
company, was not of any great good to
the estate. l think / give a summary Of the
records when l say that the various objec-
tions delayed the settlement of this estate
fully two years. and cost the estate Sc 900 in
cash" The court took the matter under ad-
visement, in all the other cases.
j. w. Cohen asked for $500 for fees in the
assignment of Frudenfeld & Co.. and a like
worth wanted $1,000 in the Crittenden assign
ment, to which there was some objection.
The court will pass upon all the matters
later.
