It is Generally Regarded as an Ex-

Washington, Dec. 6-Many senators
excused themselves from expression of
opinions at length upon the message
on the ground that they had not been
able to give careful attention to all the
details. Repu blican senators were how

MANSFIELD AT CHICAGO.
Travelling in Special Train With a
Company of 40.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Richard Mansfield.
with 40 actors and supernumeraries
for the production of "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac,'' and seven baggage cars of
scenery and stage furniture, will reach
Chicago at Z o'clock this morning over
the Wabash road. Twenty-one scenery
trucks will be waiting to transfer the
canvas and furniture to the Grand OPP
era House, and the curtain will go up
for the production at 7:45 o'clock this
evening.
Mr.. Mansfield and his company left
New York over the West Shore road at
Z o'clock. The special train of u cars
had been rushed across the country and
given the right of way. The snow
storms which it was feared might him
der the progress of the train failed to
catch up with it.
The train consists of Mr.. Mansfield's
private car and four sleepers in addi-
ton to the baggage cars. There are
over 200 trunks on board. Mr. Mans
field will go to the Auditorium Annex,
and most of the other members of the
company to the Auditorium hotel. Mrs.
Mansfield will come to Chicago to spend
Christmas with her husband.

COLORADO'S SCARE.
Official Circular States That Smallpox
is Prevalent and May Be-
come Epidemic.

Colorado Springs, Dec. 6.-The secre-
tary of the state board of health has
notified the county health officers of
Colorado and the state officers of the
country that smallpox exists in this
state and that it may become epidemic
this winter. Alarm has resulted from
this notification.
In July an emigrant family from New
Mexico settled at Cascade, ten miles up
the Ute Pass from Colorado Springs.
A child, shortly after arrival, developed
a mild case of smallpox. The child died.
A railroad engineer contracted the dis
ease and came home sick to his family
in Colorado Springs. His case also was
mild. The county health officers and
all physicians have searched for other
cases since. but none have been found.
Denver, Boulder, and other points de-
veloped mild cases and fatalities re-
suited. The health officers were aroused.
The secretary does not mention local
tiles nor give the number of cases, yet
he says that 25 per cent of the cases
have proved fatal.

AGUINALDO APROTESTANT
The Philippine Insurgent Leader Re
nounces Cath olieism.

Washington, Dec 6.-Autbentic reports
which have reached Washington are to the
effect that Aguinaldo, the Philippine in
surgent leader, has renowned the Catholic
religion in an open proclamation to his fol-
lowers and has espoused that of the
Protestants. None of the details of this
open denunciation are obtainable, but it
is said that the insurgent chief Assem- bled
his leaders near Manila last week and in a
short speech announced to them that. oW-
ing to his belief that the Catholic church
was Influenced by the Spanish crown to
such an extent that the welfare of the
people was endangered, he had decided to
leave it join the Professionals.
This action is not at all surprising in
view of the fact that Agoncillo, the insur-
gent representative in Washington, about
two months go addressed a comnunica-
ton to a Episcopal convention which was
then holding a session in WASHINGTON ask
ing that they exert their moral aid in be-
half of the insurgents of the Philippine isl
ands in their struggle for liberty.
AgoncillO communicated with AguinaldO
on this appeal. saying. that the Episcopal
church was influential in the United States
and England and that if it could be inter
ested in the insurgents it's help would be
invaluable. Aguinaldo is believed to have
Joined the Episcopal church and he will
appeal to the high dignitaries of that sect
for their moral influence in his cause.

"Out of the passenger business we
handled in connection with the Santa

received only 5000, the Santa F'e re-

lose 900 to injure US to the slight
extent they can, they may do So I
do not know just how much freight we

for which the Chicago Great Western

THE KAISER OPENS 1T.
Delivers His Message in Person
to the Reichstag.

Berlin, Dec. 6-The reichstag was
opened today by Emperor William, who
after announcing the Introduction Of a
series of social and labor bills and the
completion of the organization of the
army said that Germany's relations
with all the foreign powers continued to
be friendly and that the principal
object of his policy would be to
contribute to the maintenance of peace.
Therefore, his majesty hailed with
warm approval the cars magnanimous
proposal for the furtherance Of that OBJ
ject.
Continuing the emperor referred to
the assassination of the empress of
Austria as a savage and ruthless act
which had caused him deep pain and
which had evoked the most sincere SYM
pathy throughout Germany
AlIudjng to the anti-anarchist confer
ence at Rome, the emperor said the
readiness with which the invitation had
been accepted by the powers justified
the hope that its deliberations would
have practical results.
Abiding to the war between Spain and
the United States, his majesty said Ger
many's neutrality was conscientiously
and loyalty observed towards both
belligerents.
Then taking up colonial affairs, En-
perOr William pointed out the measures
taken for the economic development or

rights of third parties, the German gov

growing more important.
The emperor concluded with a refer
ence to his visit to Palestine, saying he
hoped the brilliant reception accorded
him by the sultan and the Turkish peo-
pie everywhere would prove to be Of
permanent benefit to German prestige
and the national interests of Germany.

ANDREWS ABOUT TO QUIT.
Tired of Being Bulldozed by Chioago's
School Board.

Chicago. Dec. 6.-During the greater part
of yesterday the report was current that
superintendent Andrews of the public
school system, who recently came here
from Brown university, had offered his
resignation, but later the story was denied.
For some time there has been trouble be-
tween superintendent Andrews and the
board of educa ton over the matter of ap-
pointments, each desiring to possess the
power of making them.
There seems to be no doubt that a let
ter of resignation was actually written
by the superintendent but that it in
tercepted by friends before reaching the
board officially and the matter amioably
adjusted. Both sides have at last signed
the protocol giving the power to Superin-
tendent Andrews, and it is believed for
NAL treaty of peace will be made binding.
