FRENCH COURT MARTIAL.
Senate Votes to Abolish Secret Examt- nation Prior to Trial.

Paris, Dec. 1.-The senate to-day adopted the motion of M, Consans placing court martial under the opera tion of the law of 1897, which aboli- ishes secret examination of accused persons prior to trial An amendment proposing to retain secret examination in cases involving national danger was opposed by the minister of war, M. De- Freyclnct, and rejected. M. Waldeck- Rousseau demanded urgency for pro- posal to empower the court of cassa- tion to order the stay of any prescott tion calculated to hamper a revision case.
 One hundred and thirteen voted for and one hundred and thirteen against the motion for urgency, which was, therefore, lost. The tie voting results in the measure being referred to spe- cial committee so that it cannot be passed soon enough to apply to the Picquart case. Legal opinion leans to the view that M. Dupuy, the premier, was mistaken yesterday in declaring that the court of cessation had the right to delay the court martial. The conversion of M. Nerve, editor of Le- Soleil, the royalist organ, to the Pic quart case to-day, caused great sen Sation.

THE CHINESE MINISTER.
Hopes Chinese Exclusion Law VIII Not
 be Enforced tn Philippines.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The Washing ton Star prints an interview with Wu Tung Fang, the Chinese minister, con- cerning the probability of the enforce ment of the Chinese exclusion law in the Philippines when the islands shall come under the control of the United States. MT. Wu Tung Fang said; T wish to appeal to the American people not to enforce the Chinese exclusion law in those islands. By so doing a great injustice will be done my countrymen and the many opportunities of a pros porous and happy life will be denied them. There are a great many Chinese in the Philippines and all of them are a credit to the archipelago. The Chinese population there is entirely different from that in your western countries. In the Philippines my countrymen are en- gagged in every walk of life. There are innumerable artisans, farmers, store- keepers, merchants, traders and in fact, business men of every legitimate char acter

nize all the Nicaragua Projects.
 Washington, Dec. 1.-The managers of the Panama canal enterprise who ar rived in Washington last evening have taken steps to arrange the business with which they are charged before the secretary of state. Apparently some arrangements had been made in the nature of an appointment. for notwith- standing the fact that this was diplo- matic day, Secretary Hay gave nearly two hours of his time to listening to the representations of the Panama peo- pie. These were Maurice Horton, di- rector general of the Panama canal; Xavier Bayard, commercial repres IT, tative of the company, both of Paris, and William Nelson Cromwell of New York, counsel for the company. They carried charts and mass of documen- tary matter, presumably exhibiting the amount of work accomplished so far on the canal project. At the conclusion of the conference, the canal men declined to make any statement as to what had taken place, but the understanding was that they were here in a general way to antagonize all of the Nicaragua pro- jects. They will be in Washington for several days, according to their own sta tement.
 President Iglesias called at the state department to-day. A private consul tation took place between the president and Secretary Hay. Nothing could be learned about the subject under dis cussion. It is surmised that it had reference to the Nicaraguan canal The conference lasted about an hour and a half.

FIRE APPARATUS STUCK IN SNOWy While on the Way to Small Fire Last
 Evening.


 The alarm of fire from box No. PA at the corner of Wall and Grove streets shortly after o'clock last night was for an incipient blaze in the cellar of the house at 347 Orange street, where Walter R. Nichols resides. The fire was caused by hot ashes being dumped on an ash barrel, which was thereby ig- nited. It was extinguished before dan- age of any appreciable amount was done. This was the first alarm that has been rung since last Saturday night. The fire department in responding had considerable difficulty. So deep was the snow in the streets that the engines could hardly get through and the teams were unable to go faster than a walk. No. 2's engine was stuck in the snow on Wall street between State and Orange streets. The horses attached to No. Ss hose wagon foundered in the snow and fell three times on the way to the scene of the fire. The aerial truck wagon horses could only go at a walk A still alarm was first sent in and immediately thereafter someone pulled the box.

SITUATION IN PHILIPPINES
TONE OF N1TIVE PRESS ANT1GO-
 MYSTIC TO AMERICA.
FilipinOs of Independent Party Not Disposed to Accept Result of Delib era- tions of Peace Commissioners The 1ndepcndencia Says FilipiMos "Win Decline to Permit Their Homes to he Bought and Sold Like Merchandise"

Manila, Dec. 1.-The independent party of the Philippines is not disposed to accept the result of the deliberations of the peace commissioners at Paris, judging from the tone of the native press. The Indenpendcia publishes a particularly bombastic leading article to the effect that the Filipinos will "de- cline to permit their homes to be bought and sold like merchandise"
 It then repeats the readiness of the Filipinos to fight in defense of their rights and asserts that the government and people are unanimous in claiming nothing less than independence. The paper also claims that the Filipinos have incontestible claims upon the is- land of Luzon, part of the Visayas ls- lands and the Island of Mindanso by right of conquest. It comedies that the Americans helped the insurgents 'indi- rectly by blockading Manila but the Independencia claims that even without help the revolutionists must have ulti- mately won. Finally, the Independcla holds that Spain cannot cede the Philip pine archipelago, because it was never hers"
 The United States transport Indiana arrived here this morning and the Nero sailed for home. Two companies of Pennsylvania have been transferred to Corregidor Island. With the exception of battalion of Washington, the troops have not been landed.

SECRETARY WILSON'S REPORT.
Discusses Agricultural Resources of
 New Island Acquisitions


 Washington, Dec. 1.-Secretary 1. of Agriculture James $. Wilson in his an- nual report made public to-day in ad- dition to discussing domestic problems, reviews our agricultural relations in foreign fields He calls for an emer- gency appropriation of a lump sum for future requirements that cannot all be anticipated specifically. Exploration by scientists of our territorial acquisi- tions and the sudden appearance of pests are some of these possible emer- gencies. Discussing agricultural re- sources in our new island acquisitions, Secretary Wilson says:
 Hawaii and the West India islands depend almost exclusively for their prosperity upon their agricultural pro- auctions. It behooVes the department, therefore, to place itself at the earliest moment possible in a position to ex- tend to the agriculturalists of those territories, which have or may come under the United States flag the ser vices and benefits which 1t renders to the farmers of the United States. Tn the interes of our own agriculture not only must the agriculture resources of these islands be studied closely but the dangers which threaten agriculture in these territories in the form of plant diseases or insect pests must be made the subject of special investigation tc protect agriculture there and also to secure our own agriculture from the possibility of their introduction into this country"

 Dny-Reviewtng Spanish Troops.
 Havana, Dec. Tt is now believed, judging from the rapidity with which the Spaniards are pushing the evacua- tiob that the province of Havana will be turned over to the Americans on or before December A and that on Christ mas day Old Glory will be floating from Moro Castle. This morning General Greene reviewed at Mariana the cav airy division of the forces under Gen. eral Mario Menosal Over 800 men fell in line Many had no coats or shirts, but all had good mounts well shot While, from an aesthetic viewpoint General Greene finds the Cuban caval- ry wanting, he thinks there could be no doubt of it's efficiency in guerilla warfare judging from the discipline and reckless daring of the men as evidenced in this mornings evolutions. The Span iards to-day evacuated the towns of Ceiba de Agua and Alquizar in all four municipalities. It is probable that the United States evacuation commissioners will visit Governor General Castellanos tomorrow
