REDUCING THE ARMY
Fifty Thousand Volunteers Will be
 Mustered Out.

Washington, Dec 27.-The decision announced by the president today to muster out 50,000 more volunteers car ries out his intention formed some days ago, in accordance with which Chair man Hull of the military affairs com mittee of the house introduced his bill yesterday, providing that volunteers selected for discharge should be dis charged at once, with two months ex- tra pay, in lieu of being granted thirty and siXty-day furlCughs, with discharge at the end of that period.
 The discharge of these 50,000 addi- tional volunteers will bring the United States army, regulars and volunteers,
 down to the 100000 men considered necessary to meet the country's present needs. Under the cd law the strength of the regular army had been recruited up to 2S,000 men, and since the war be- gan, 27 000 more have been recruited under the new law authorizing the in crease to 62,000. There are 95,000 vol unteers still in the service, which places the total strength of the army at present at 150,000.
 The release of 5O,000 more volunteers in accordance with the decision an nounced today, will leave in the service of the United States 1000 regulars and 45,000 volunteers. No definite de cision has yet been reached as to which of the volun teer regiments shall De re- leased but it is most likely that they will be selected from among the states that will have several regiments in the field, so as to leave each state repre- scented in the army. By such an ar engagement the Rhode Island regiment would continue in service for the pres ent.
 None of the volunteers in the Phil ippines will be mustered out until enough regular troops to take their places have arrived there. It is prob able, however, that all the volunteer regiments credited to the United States at large, which includes the so-called "immunes,'' will be discharged, and that the colored volunteer troops in Santiago and elsewhere who have been giving so much trouble, will also be among those to go.

NEW COLOR IN HAVANA
American and Cuban Flags Beaufify
 inc City.

Havana, Dec 27.-The citizens of Havana read in their morning papers the order from Captain-Gcneral Cas- teilanos permitting the display of Gu ban and American flags in the side lines of Spanish Jurisdiction, and early this morning the stars and stripes and the lone star of Cuba floated over many buildings in the heart of the city and in the streets where the Spanish sol diers still keep guard. The only build ings excepted in the order are the gov ernment offices. Havana is therefore now bright with color, and firecrackers are being exploded on the streets and plazaS.
 The order of General Castellanos was issued after a conference with General Ludlow, and it will be followed to- night by an order closing cafes at 10 D. m. General Ludlow rode around the city last night watching the temper Of the people in the streets. Fourteen persons were wounded by persons who fired different kinds of weapons in the streets.
 Senor Decastro, the civil governor of Havana, acting in accord with Gen eral Ludlow, has issued an order for bidding any further firing of f.-'earD7 .. or exploding of fireworks in public thoroughfares. He also prohibits the assembling of crowds in the streets or parks after 6:30 D. m. Orders have been issued closing all places of en- tsrtainment, including theaters and cafes, at Il p. m., fOrbidding people taking part in certain African dances in which the participants are dressed in civil costume, and forbidding all manifestations which may produce con-. flicts between Cubans and Spaniards, or between Spaniards and Americans. Those who violate theSe orders are threatened with severe punishment.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Senators who support the administration now have assurances from more than the two thirds of the senate that a vote on the treaty of peace during the present ses- sion would result in it's ratification. Moreover, assurances have been receiv- ed from some of the opponents of rati- ficatiOn that debate for the sole pur- pose of delay will not be undertaken.
 Senator Morrill,, who was at one time counted against the treaty, told at least one fellow senator before his present hopeless illness that he would vote for ratification. Senators Spooner and Wellington, although not favorable to expansion, will not oppose the ad- ministration. Senator Hale, it is as- serted with confidence, will not carry his opposition beyond a fOrceful eX- presslon uf his opinion in debate.
 Senator lHoar is bitter in private con- ment not only on the treaty but also on the administration policy, but those who know him best do not believe that he will vote against ratification. The president is one of this number.
 The visit of W. J. Bryan to Washing ton and his pervading presence in the senate lobby is thought to have caused a disintegration of the opposition to the treaty among democratic senators. So far as national expansion is to be made party issue by the minority, the question will be brought to the front after the ratification of the treaty, when a resolution will be introduced disclaiming any purpose by the United

The Presidents Southern Visit Has Un- covered Unexpected Support of the Administration in It's Proposed Plans of an Extension of
 Sovereignty.

States to exercise sovereignty over in sular territory wrested from Spain as a result of the war.
 This resolution may be introduced by a leading democratic senator or it may be introduced by Senator Hoar.
 The friends of the proposition pro fess confidence that it will command a majority in the senate, and it is assert ed that at least ten republicans are ready to support it.
 But this is believed by others to be a mistaken idea. In no event could a resolution of such a character pass the house, although Speaker Reed, Of course, might lend his powerful influ- ence to it's support.
 Opposition to the treaty has become peTceptibly weaker since the pTeSi- dents trip south, and his uncovering of the expansion sentiment in Georgia and Alabama states, which have been regarded as luke-warm on the subject, if not actively hostile to the acquisi tion of the Philippines.
 It is believed that if the president month, he will find the expansion sen timent equally strong, and thus anoth- CT prop will be knocked from under the fanti-imperialist'' platform. Senator Lodge, who is one of the most earnest advocates of the retention of the Phil ippines, comes up for reelection by the Massachusetts legislature in Janu- ary, and he will be nominated by accla- nation in the republican caucus to sue ceed himself

IMPORTS FALLING OFF
Great Brifain'S Contribution Will
 Show a Small TOfSI.

Washington, Dec. 27.-CSpeciaL)- Importations of manufactures from Great Britain into the United States seem likely to show an unusually small total in the year 1898. The November statement ot exports from Great Brit ain to the United States, which has just reached the treasury bureau of statistics shows in nearly every case that the eXportations of manufactures in the eleven months ending November 30, were less than in the corresponding months of earlier years. Imports of manufactures in the early part of the year 1897, were, of course, abnormally great, and a comparison of the eleven months of 1898 with the corresponding months of 1897 would in many cases be misleading. A comparison. however, with the corresponding months of 1896 and 1893 shows in nearly all cases smaller imports in 1898 than in either of the earlier years.
 When it is remembered that the i'm ports of the eleven months of 1896 were the smallest with a single exception since 1890, and that those of 1893 were less than in the three years which pre- ceded it, a comparison of 1898 with these two years will not be considered an unfair one, while to compare with the years 1894 or 1897, in which tariff laws were being considered and enacted would be manifestly unjust. In nearly all classes of manufactured articles the figures of the eleven months of 1898 show a reduction as compared with 1896 and 1893, and a very large reduc- tion as compared with 1897. In jute manufactures for instance, the imports of the eleven months of 1898 were 95,- 2S7 300 yards against 143 .9S4300 in the corresponding months of 1897; m wool en yarns the drop was from 55000 pounds in 1897 to 6.9OO in 1898; in worsted yarn from 300 pounds in eleven months Of 1897 to 102 300 in 1898; iii wooden tissues from S,046 100 yards ill eleven months of 1897 to l. ASSOC in eleven months Of 1893, and in wCrsted tissues from 40667 600 yards in eleven months of 1897 to 12,706, 400 in the corresponding months of 1898; these figures. it should be understood, relate to imports from the United Kingdom

WITHOUT AIN ENGINEER
Knocked SenSeISS by an Overloaded
 Bridge Support.

New Tor, Dec. 27-Camel back en- zine No. 470 on the Central railroad of New Jersey, drawing a. freight train, westbound, ran from a point west of Roselle N. J., today to short distance west of Westfield without an engineer at the throttle.
 Engineer R. J. Whitty of Philadel- phia as the locomotive passed an over head bridge near Roselle, struck his head out of the cab window and was struck by one of the braces supporting the bridge. He was knocked unconsci- ous and fell to the bottom of the cab floor. The fireman was busy stoking the furnace and did not see the acci- dent. After the train had run several miles he noticed the engineer was ap- parently not at the throttle and hurried forward to investigate. He was start led to see Whitty lying on the floor of the cab He tried to arouse him, but was unable to do so.
 As the train approached Westfield the fireman whistled for down brakes and stopped there. The locomotive was detached from the train and ran hurriedly to Plainfield, N J., where Whitty was taken to an hospital. At last accounts he was still unconscious.

WANT FREE PAPER.
An Argument made Before the Joint
 High Commission.

Washington, Dec 27.-The Amer fcan Newspaper Publishers associa- ton has presented to the Anglo-Amer- ican joint high commissioners a care fully prepared argument in favor of free paper and free pulp. The argu
 ment in brief says: The directors of the American Newspaper Publishers association, representing 175 daily newspapers of the United States and representing the bulk of the total con sumption of print paper, are in favor of free paper and free pulp. The tariff of $6 per ton on print paper is pro hibitory and we believe that a rate of $1.67 per ton for mechanically ground wood pulp is excessive. The American paper manufactures need no protection. because they can manufacture paper cheaper than is done in any other part of the world, and they are now supply ing the Australian, Japanese and Brit ish markets in competition with Swedish and German manufacturers. No print paper is brought into the United States, but during the last year the export has averaged over 1 1,000 tons per week and the entire revenue re- ceived from the importation of me- chemically ground wood pulp was only S41 ,842 last year, so that no serious uestion of national economy could be urged in opposition to free pulp and free paper

ARIZONA COPPER DEAL
The Sale of inc Unified Verde Exten-
 sion YeSfeFdaY.

New York, Dec. 27-One of the larg- est deals in copper properties ever eff fected in this city has been completed. Fourteen claims adjoining each other and adjacent to the great copper mine of w. A. Clark, passed into the hands of eastern capitalists.
 Franklin Farrell of AnsOnia, Conn. and l.. H. Guerlich and w. H. Coe of this city are the principal members of the syndicate of purchasers. G. w. Hull of Arizona was the principal owner of the properties sold. He was represented by James Shirley a min ing engineer of Prescott, Ariz. The property is located in the town of Je- rome, Yavapai county, Arizona, and is known as the United Verde Extension. MT. Clark's property, the United Verde, is regarded as one of the greatest cop per mines in the world. The property transferred here is of about the same extent and is said to carry copper ore of equal value. It is the intention of the purchasers to convert the ore into crude copper at the mine and snip the product to the copper refining estab- lishments at Bridgeport and Ansonia, Conn.,, to be refined.
 Professor George A Treadwell, who is interested in the Cliff copper mines near the United Verde mines, was seen by a reporter last night and he was much pleased to learn of MT. Shir- ley's success. MT. Shirley's mission to New York was to dispose of the Cliff mines also, and since he has been sue cessful in selling the United Verde EX- tension mines, Professor Treadwell be- lieves that the sale Of the Cliff mines will follow. MT. Shirley recently sold some large copper mines in Sonora to customers.

A NEGRO EXODUS
Large Numbers Leaving South Caro-
 lima for Mississippi.

Columbia, s. C., Dec. 27.-An emigra- tion agent has recently been at work in Greenwood county, the scene of the recent Phoenix-Tolbert troubles, and, as a result, large number of the ne groes of the county are leaving the county and moving to the state of Mis- sissippi. The exodus began last week when two carloads took their depar- ture. More went Sunday. It is said that something over 100 have already moved away
 The negroes have not been interfered with at all by the whites since the cleo tion trouble, but they all seem very unsettled, and are not making new con- tracts for the coming year. Money troubles have made them wn-heart- ed, and their fear Of the whites only adds to the discontent which is lighting their path to MOSsisSippi.

THE CABINET CHANGE
Why nr. Hitchcock Was Appointed
 Secretary.

Washington, Dec. 27-(Special.) )- The transfer of Ambassador Hitchcock from St. Petersburg to Washington is of greater significance than it appears to De on the surface. It means some thing more than the changing of places by an officer who has already proved his efficiency in one position. It is a part of the world politics of the Me Kinley administration in line with the transfer of Ambassador Hay from Lon don a few months ago, and is in har- mony with the presidents policy of bringing into closer relationship with himself those who have become famil- jar with diplomatic affairs abroad
 The president realizes that the Unit ed States is on the edge of a period in it's history when it's relations iwth Flu ropean powers are to be more fruitful for good or for evil than before. That is true particularly of Great Britain and Russia with whom the mainten- ance of friendly relations may call for the exercise of great diplomacy owing to the rivalry between the two govern mentS for participation in the trade of the far east.
 To follow middle course between Russia and England in such way as to retain the friendship of both while ob- taining for ourselves all the advantages which come from our entrance into Asi- atic affairs is to be a task that is to test the ability of the administration to the utmost.
 The president realizes that, hence his determination to have by his side those persons who know most intimate ly the politics of London and St. Pc tersburg.
 Secretary Hay represents in the cab met the policy of harmonious cooper ation of Great Britain. Secretary Hitchcock will represent the influences which look to maintenance of friend ly relations with the ear. The train ing which each man has received in the diplomatic service is to be turned to advantage in channels where it is to be of especial value, and as new chapters are unfolded in the book of European diplomacy, the president will have at his elbow men who can read them with intelligence and insight
 Russia at the present time is endeav- bring to make it appear that her atti- tude toward the United States is as friendly as in former days when she was regarded as our best friend amoGg the courts of Europe. Interviews with Count Cassini and inspired publications in St. Petersburg have pointed in that direction. But there are public men in Washington who question the sheer ity of those representations, and who believe that in the near future the Unit cd States will be brought to a realiza- ton of the fact that Russia, is our most dangerous competitor as she is the most dangerous competitor of Eng land, and that underneath the cloak of friendship turks 2 feeling Of rivalry which may develop at any moment into

"uTTLELORD FAUNTLEROY' ''
One Half of inc Net Profits Secured
 by Frank Sanger.

New York, Dec. 27.-After ten years of litigation Frank Sanger, the theat- rical manager, has by recent decision of the court of appeals in his suit against Thomas Henry rench, estab- lished his claim, under a verbal agree ment of partnership, to one-half of about S125,O00, the net profits of pro ducing the play Little Lord Fauntle- roy in cities not including Boston and New York, about the year 1888. Daniel G. Rollins, who tried the case as ref cree, found on all the issues in favor of the plaintiff. The important finding was that which sustained the plaintiff S allegation that there was a partnership agreement. The late general term of the supreme court three years ago re- versed the judgment on the law and the facts.
 Judge O'Brien, giving the opinion of the court of appeals, held that al though the general term, under sec tiOn 1888 of the code existing at the time the decision was made, had power, and it was it's duty to review the facts found by the referee, yet in order to sustain in the court of appeals a re- versal by the general term of the ref eree's decision upon the facts, it must appear that his findings were against the weight of evidence or that the proofs so clearly prepOnderated in ia vOr of contrary result that it could be said with 8 reasonable degree of cer- tainty that his conclusions were erro- neOuS.
 The evidence upon the question of partnership was held not to have war ranted the reversal by the general term. The statute of frauds was held not to be available as d defence be- cause it was not pleaded as such, though it was doubtful whether it had any application to oral partnership agreements, it certainly had none when the agreement had been wholly or par tially executed.
