OTHER VESSELS EN- ROUTE

washington, March 2.-Admiral Dewey Is
again pressing on the navy department the
urgent need of vessels of light draught as
a means of communication among the nu-
merous small islands of the Philippine
group, To this end the gunboat Vixen,
which figured bravely for a vessel of her
caliber at the outset of the Cuban cam
paign, has been ordered to be Immediately
fitted out at the Norfolk navy yard for sail
ing for Manila. This will take about
month and it probably will be three or four
months before she joins Dewey's fleet. Be-
sides the Concord, which is perhaps lit
tie too large to be classified as one of the
small craft, the only light vessels now in
the Philippines available for running about
those waters are the Petrol and Helena.
The Castine and the Princeton, however,
are now speeding in that direction, but
the small craft equipment there will be
inadequate The department is anxious to
afford Admiral Dewey all the assistance
possible. He has repeatedly called atten-
tian to the great Importance of this work
and has emphasized the fact that it is the
light vessels, fit to skirmsh about in the
shallow waters and to run in and out of
harbors where the larger one would be
useless, that he wants rather than the
heavier types.

UNABLE TO AGREE
House and Senate Conferees Cannot
Reach a Compromise.

Washington, March 2.-The river and har-
bor conferees adjourned shortly after 10
o'clock tonight until tomorrow morning,
having been unable to agree. Chairman
Frye, of the senate conferees, said:
I'VE have been unable to agree so that is
all there is to say
He was asked: 'Is there any prospect
of agreement?'
II can't say" he replied. "It looks very
dubious"
The conferees discussed the different
propositions and counter propositions that
have been made regarding the Nicaragua
canal bill, but upon adjournment tonight
the house conferees as a whole refuse to
allow any declaration for a Nicaragua canal
In the bill, although Mr.. Burton is willing
to have a declaration of policy and a lib
eral appropriation for a commission to Sc
lect the best route The senate con-
ferees offered a proposition looking to an
investigation as to the best route and leav-
ing the selection to a commission, but in
sisting that provision should be made for
beginning work. Between the conferees
there is still wide difference and no MEN,
Der of the conference will predict an ad-
justment tomorrow.
Some of the big questions in the bill have
been settled.

THE POPE'S LETTER.
The Pontiff Is Believed to Be in Favor
of Americanism.

Rome, March 2.-The impression prevails
here now that the dust has settled and
things can be seen clearly-that the pope's
letter to Cardinal Gibbons approves real
"Americanlsm' and condemns those who
had misrepresented 1t. The pope collected,
examined and definitely repudiated all such
Misrepresentation. Evidently he believes
that the things so alleged never existed in
America. for the American bishops would
have denounced them as his holiness thus
vindicates true "Americanism." Arch
bishop Ireland's letter appears to have ably
emphasized the pope's views, and 1t is
generally understood that Cardinal RAM
polio, papal secretary of state. has assured
him that the pope never condemned and
never intended to condemn real american
ism," declaring also that Archbishop Ire
land had rightly interpreted the views of
the pope, and requested him to make this
fact known.

THE QUESTION is
YET UNSETTLED
House Dodged the Issue on Judi
ciary Committees Report
NOMINATION OF D. D. SHELBY
Was Confirmed by the Senate Yester-
day, Senator Bacon OF Georgia
Withdrawing His OBJ
lection.
NOMINATION OF D. D. SHELBY

Washington, March 2.-(Special. Tho re-
fusal of the house to consider the judi
cary committees report declaring the seats
of General Wheeler and other members
who accepted commissions in the army va
cant ends the controversy according to the
views of members of the committee who
supported the report. The report affecting
the seats of General Wheeler and other
army officers was unanimously signed by
the committee.
1t was constitutional in nature and 1t was
very generally hoped that the house would
not dodge the issue, but would face and
settle it. Unless 1t can yet be forced,
which seems doubtful, the interesting ques-
ton must wait indefinitely decision.
Meantime the question of paying certain
of these members their salaries as con-
gressmen since December /, since which
time Speaker Seed has declined to sgn
their vouchers, arises. He has held per-
sonally that they were not members of the
house and could not draw pay and it is not
likely that he will take any other view
now, with the support which a unanimous
report from the judiciary committee gives
him.
1t should be understood that General
Wheeler has never claimed his salary
congressman since he entered the army and
would not now accept It, not believing he
should draw two salaries. That he will be
given one of the major generalships in the
provisional army seems assured. He will
accept 1t and his seat in congress will be
vacated.
The confirmation of Judge d. D. Shelby
this afternoon was not surprising. Senator
Bacon this morning Joined other members
of the senate judiciary committee in re-
porting favorably the nomination and ac-
ton followed quickly in the senate. Judge
Shelby has received a number of congratu-
latory kilograms tonight. He will leave for
Huntsville probably Saturday.
The applications for second lieutenantcies
in the army now number nearly 5000 and
others are being received. Higher places
have large numbers of seekers and the
filling of them will be difficult and wide
spread disappointment will follow.

Among those who sent letters or tele-
grams of regret were Grover Cleveland
and Andrew Carnegie.
In his address, Mr. Schurz said: II have
doubtless some times committed grave er-
ror3 of observation or of Judgment but L
may affirm that in my long public activity
I have always sought to inform myself
about the things l had to deal with and
that in my utterances on public interests
I have never said anything 1 did not my
self believe true. If this is the reason of
your being here am very proud of 1t, and
l may promise you that this shall be
to the last, and that in this respect at least
you will have fair chance of not beeom-
ing sorry for the honor you are doing me
tonight.
For nearly half a century l have felt
myself as a thorough American. Under
the Stars and Stripes my children were
born; am to die and they are to live. But
my faithful love for this republic does not
forbid me to look back upon the old faith
erland with reverential affection-upon that
great nation whose valor has written so
many pages of the heroic pages of history
and whose thoughts, like fair, shining
beacon light, have so brightly Illuminated
the world. 1 am profoundly grateful to
those kind friends In the land of my birth,
who at this period of my life have so
warmly remembered me.
Nor can l fail to speak with pride Of
those American citizens of German blood
who hold their rank among the best of our
people by the industry. their civic virtues,
their conservative spirit and their self-sacri-
ficing patriotism which has drenched every
American battlefield with Teutonic blood.
1t may well be said of them that however
warm their affection for their native land,
they have never permitted that affection to
interfere with their duty as American citi-
zens.
The German-American celebration of Mr..
Schurg's birthday will take place on the ev-
ening of March in dinner and reception
in Leiderkranz hall. Three hundred Ger
man societies will participate.

PHYSICIANS ARE OPTIMISTIC

Rome, March 2.-The latest news from
the vatican is that the pope's temperature
at midnight had fallen several points. 1t
appears that his disinclination to observe
the recommendations of his physicians
forms an abstract in the way of prompt
recovery. He has full confidence in his
own strength, and does not readily acqui-
esce in their advice not to move. During
the afternoon he insisted upon leaving his
bed without assistance, and also read sew
eral kilograms. The rise in his tempera-
ture which had given some anxiety was
probably caused in part in this way.
The doctors exclude everybody from his
apartments except his personal attendants.
Prof. Mazzoni remained in readiness dur
ing the evening to proceed to the vatican
If needed, but up to II o'clock he had not
been called, and at that hour he did not ex-
pect to go until daybreak.
The pope said during the day: LIS
Calls 1t Miracle
"It is a miracle of God that am still
alive; for he wishes to spare his church a
terrible crisis at the present moment"
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the doctors
made prolonged visit, lasting more than
an hour, which caused some uneasiness,
but on leaving they gave reassuring res
ports, Prof Mazzoni saying there was not
the least fear that the pleural, bronchial
tubes or lungs would be affected. The
pope's nephew also visited him In tho
course of the afternoon, and left his cham-
ber much pleased at his progress.
Despite these optimistic reports, grave
doubts are entertained as to the issue OF
the illness. His holiness it seems, display
ing great interest in tho matter, has asked
the doctors as to the best way of preserv-
ing the cyst, explaining that he intended,
when he should have recovered. to dissect
1t for purposes of study"

MINERS ENFORCED TO MAKE SCALE

Little Rock, Ark, March 2-James Bos-
ton, of the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca, who represents the striking coal miners
of Western Arkansas and Indian Territory
is out in long statement giving the miners
side in the pending big strike. In the
course of his statement, Boston says:
1T is the desire of the miners to meet
with the operators on friendly terms, as
the miners have done in the east, and We
are satisfied that we could convince the OPP
orators that are entitled to some con-
cessions. If not, we would have been salts
fed to remain as we were. Our methods
are American and afford the only way that
strikes can be avoided. But the operators
absolutely refused to meet us. The miners
realized that their attempts to harmonize
capital and labor had been useless and
the only thing left for us to do was to form
scale ourselves and try to enforce it,
This we have done. The strike from now
on lies at the door of the operators.
Right to Organize
In conclusion, let me say as American
citizens we grant the right to our employ
ers to organize and elect men to look after
the capitalists interest. We have a right to
organize also. The miners control the la
Dor, While the operators control the capital
The coal companies were invited to meet
the miners in conference where the miners
could talk to them face to face, discuss
their grievances and try to make agree
ment which would be just and equitable to
all parties. This could have been done
without strike yet the operators refused
to do SO. want the public to know who is
responsible for the present strike in this

ready to meet the officials of the mining
companies at any time.
The Backbone Broken
South McAlister, I. T., March at is be-
lieved that the backbone of the strike is
broken. The Krebs miners did not work
today, but will resume work tomorrow
The krebs miners by a vote of 400 to GA
voted to not strike, and will resume labor
at once
Cherryvale, Lehigh and Coal Gate mines
were shut down, but it is thought they will
resume in day or two. All mines on the
Choctaw railroad are working and new
men arriving daily, and unless the unfor-
seen happens all of the mines will be run
ming full blast within the next few days.
Cause of the Strike

the present coal strike now prevailing
over the Indian Territory and Arkansas

ONLY 0NE0BULLETlN ISSUED

New York, March 2-That Rudyard Kip
ling's condition has improved very greatly
during the past twenty-four hours is evi-
was posted during today. That was of a
very satisfactory nature, and it was an
nounced tonight that no future bulletins
would be forthcoming until tomorrow aft
ernoon. The bulletin issued at the Hotel
Grenoble at o'clock this afternoon was:
Mr.. Kipling has made satisfactory prog
ress. He has a slight fever, but is COM
Portable, though weak. and restitution is
taking place in the affected part Of the
lungs.
(Signed) "E. g. JANEWAY.
THEODORE DUNHAM.'
Another indication that the patient Is get
ting along well is that tonight he asked to
be shown the newspapers, and he seemed to
be greatly pleased and affected at the in
terest in his illness shown by the Ameri-
can people.
Mr.. Kipling spent a comfortable night.
He slept for some hours and rested well,
and again this morning he enjoyed an hour
or two of sleep. In this way he has in a
great measure recuperated his strength
and the promises are very bright for his
speedy recovery.
According to the latest reports, Mr.. Kip
ling's two little daughters are not seri-
ously i'll as was at first thought.
At $3.50 o'clock tonight Mr.. Doubleday
came down from the Kipling apartments
and said that the patient was making rapid
progress.
..Dr. Janeway will not come back to the
hotel tonight" said Mr. Doubleday. There
is no reason why he should. Mr.. Kipling
is making such progress that DIR. Jane
ways continued presence is unnecessary.
Moreover, he will not issue another bulle-
tin until $3.50 o'clock Friday afternoon"
At a late hour tonight Mr.. Doubleday
announced that Josephine kipling was out
of danger and Mr. Kipling resting easy.
