System for Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Jan 1.-THE Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations to-day author
lied Senator Davis to report the peace
treaty favorably without amendment. The
committee was in session for only an hour
and the greater part Of this time was oc-
cupied in waiting for quorum, the senators
meantime discussing informally the provi-
sions Of the treaty. There was only bare
quorum of the committee present, but SEN
ators Cullom and Clark, who were among
the absentees, sent their proxies. Senator
Morgan and Senator Gray were the only
Democrats in attendance, but the other
Democratic members of the commttee-Sen-
ators Daniels, Mills and Turpie-had full
notice of the purpose of the meeting and
they indicated no opposition to immediate
action. There was no suggestion of any
amendment in committee. Senator Davis
was instructed to press the treaty on the
attention of the Senate with the view to
securing as early action as possible The
committee also authorized Senator Davis to
report favorably on the proposition to re-
move the injunction of secrecy.
Senator Berry moved that the debate on
the treaty should be conducted in open SEN
ate, but the motion went over until to-mor-
row. There were only casual remarks upon
the policy of publicity, and these were gen
orally favorable to the removal Of the Sc
crecy injunction from the treaty and as
generally opposed to the opening of the
doors of the Senate for the debate upon the
treaty. Senator Davis gave notice that he
would ask for the earliest possible eonsid-
GRAFTON, giving the impression that he would
move to take up the treaty tomorrow.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Count Won EgIOffstein, Who Was In
XoIVed in German Army ScnndnI.


BERLIN, jan 11.-Count Klaus Won Egg
loffstein who was recently obliged to leave
the army on account of his debts, has been
arrested on the charge of forging bills. Ac-
cording to the Tageblatt, Count Won Egloff-
stein was the director of the notorious
gambling club Der Froelichen, or the Jo-
vial Club, frequented by officers of the
guards cavalry, high government officials,
bankers and members of the Reichstag,
which has existed in Berlin for some years
There was a scandal in connection with
the club early in December. on account of
which several officers were dismissed from
the army Count Won Egloffstein is heir to
an estate at Arklitten He was formerly an
officer of Uhlans. Besides the offense which
has brought him into disgrace. the count is
charged with forging checks. According to
the Tageblatt when Gen. Won Hanke, the
chief of the Emperor's military Cabinet, in
formed his Majesty as to the progress made
by the police in the investigation, the En-
peror said: Il demand that the whole truth
be established
1t was announced in the Berlin letter of
the Associated Press, under date of Dec. II
last, that a gambling scandal affecting a
number of members of the German aristoc-
racy had been brought to light. 1t appears
that stranger was introduced to the Jovial
Club, an organization frequented by the
smart set by two highly respected mem
bers. He soon became a favorite, and all
went swimmingly until rumors about his
antecedents began to circulate. and it was
noticed that he was invariably favored by
luck The Berlin Tageblatt said the stranger
got many young men of the best families
on his paper, several clubmen lost immense
sums and the affair was looked on as likely
to have serious results for the military Off
GERS implicated, in view of the determination
of Emperor William to suppress gambling
in the army. 1t was also said that the
whole affair would be sifted in the law
courts

Banks nnd FnctOries.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Minister Samp-
son. at Quito. Ecuador, furnishes some very
interesting statements to the State Depart
ment relating to American enterprises in
that country. Among other things he says:
Ecuador is becoming one of the most inn
pOrtant nations on the west coast of South
America in it's relations to the United
States. An American company has received
a contract to build a railroad from Guaya-
quill to Quito, at an estimated cost of $17,-
eco, 600 in gold, and a number of engineers
are now at work on the survey. repre-
sentative of another American company is
negotiating for a contract to build another
railroad that viii cost many millions of dol
lars Another American company has Sc
cured the right to build a tramway from
Babahoyo to Balsapambre. which will re-
quire Il large sum of money. A company
has been formed by Americans to build in
Guayaquil large cotton factory. and in it's
interests the late Congress passed a. law au-
thorizing the free importation of cotton A
charter has been secured by an American
company to start a bank with a capital Of
81, 100000. About three years ago Ecuador
was first opened to the Bible and Protestant
missionaries. A number Of them are now

connected with the customs service at SAINT
iago and at other Cuban ports until General
Woods arrival, regarding him as well quail
ifed by his prolonged stay in charge OF af-
fairs in Santiago province to afford sound
advice for it's government. The general
himself modestly declines to discuss these
matters publicly. He expects to leave
Washington, returning to Cuba, next Mon
day The situation in Santiago, he said,
was thoroughly satisfactory and no trouble
was to be apprehended there in the near fu-
ture. He took occasion to declare very ear
nestly that the stories of friction between
himself and Major General Brooke the mill
tary commandant of the island, were abso-
lutely without foundation, adding that their
relations were of the most pleasant char
acter and, as far as he knew, there had been
no differences between them.
Secretary Alger and General Wood spent
the afternoon at the Capitol, taking lunch
con with Senator Proctor, and spend
ing considerable time in Vice President Ho-
bart's room. General Wood was introduced
to a number of senator's, entertaining them
with interesting "reminiscences of the SAINT
iago campaign and of his experiences as
governor of Santiago province.

izations were selected for muster out be-
cause of alleged lack Of efficiency or disci-
pline, and that it is equally untrue that the
muster out of the white volunteer organiza-
tions involves any reflection on their
efficiency or discipline. In the Sc
lection of regiments for muster out
the main consideration has been the
interests of the government, and in every
case the selection fell upon organizations
whose services could be spared with the least
impairment to the policy of the admins
tration for the use of the military in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines Conse-
quently the troops on duty in those countries
will be the last of the volunteers to be
mustered out. The volunteers in the Phil
ippines are likely to be the first of those
abroad selected for discharge There viii
be no general discharge of regulars who en-
listed till the war was over until after the
ratification of the treaty of peace with Spain.
If no more reinforcements are needed in
Cuba and the Philippines between now and
the first of February, it is stated on good
authority that all the remaining volunteer
organizations now held in reserve in South
ern camps will be mustered out within the
next few weeks.

WON'T ACCEPT THEIR PAY.
Ohio Soldiers object to BEING DOcked
for the State.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 1.-THE officers
and men of the Fourth Ohio Infantry,
which is being mustered out here, tonight
decided not to accept their pay from the
government under certain conditions inn
posed. An order was received by the mus
tering officer here to deduct $3.50 from the
pay of each man, which is 81 per day, less
SO cents allowed by the government for the
time the troops were enrolled at Camp Bush
nell until they were mustered into the
United States service. The State has de-
manded reimbursement, which includes this
amount, and if it is paid to the State the
members of the regiment will have to look
to the State for it. They claim that five of
the other Ohio regiments have been mus
tered out and have received the full pay
and that it would be unfair to make any
deduction now. The pay due the Fourth Ohio
amounts to $50,000. An effort will be made
tomorrow to adjust the matter amicably.

OUR GERMAN ..FRIENDs.v
How They Are Attempting to Prevent
Sale of American Bicycles.


WASHINGTON Jan. 1.-THE length to
which European manufacturers are willing
to go in their efforts to crush out American
competition is shown in the following report
to the State Department by Dean Mason,
vice consul at Frankfort Failing to OBJ
tain from the imperial government the pro-
hibitory import duty on American bicycles,
which they have so earnestly and persist
emily demanded, the members of the Ger
man Bicycle Manufacturers Association
have decided upon the following simple plan
to kill the American cycle trade in this
country: From this time forward they will
unanimously refuse all credit TO any dealer
who handles, as part of his stock in trade,
a bicycle of American make The associa-
ton includes in its membership nearly one
hundred of the most important bicycle
makers in Germany who have been accus-
toned hitherto to give retail dealers from
two to four months credit and very liberal
terms in respect to parts and repairs. Since
the majority of Independent bicycle dealers
in Germany are in close relations with and
under personal obligations to one or more
manufacturers, it is expected that the ef-
feet of this policy will be to seriously injure
the sale Of American bicycles, unless ex-
porting manufacturers in the United States
take an aggressive attitude and make the
competition so hot that the German makers
will be compelled to make peace by rescind-
ing the decree"

SHORT OF PROVISIONS.
Fifteen Men at the Chicago Water
Crib in Danger of Starving.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Fifteen men stationed
at the water works crib, off Sixty-eighth
street, in Lake Michigan, are in danger of
starvation unless help can reach them soon.
The recent strong east winds and cold
weather have piled UP the ice to such an ex-
tent that it is now impossible for the tug
boats to reach the cribs. The men are very
short of provisions, and unless the wind
changes and warmer weather ensues within
the next three or four days, viii be in de-
cidedly serious predicament For four miles
out the ice is nearly six inches thick, while
around the crib the ice is piled in such
masses as to prevent the men from reaching
the shore.

CAUSING ANNOYANCE.
Delay in Ratifying Peace Treaty OBJ
structing Consular Service.

structing Consular Service.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE State De-
partment is greatly embarrassed in dealing
with numerous and important questions
arising almost daily owing to the abolition
of the old consular service in the newly-ac-
quired colonies without replacement The
consuls representing European powers in
Cuba, for instance, have generally been
unable to discharge the functions of their
consular offices, and trade in some cases
has been seriously obstructed. This state
of affairs up to this point has affected for
eign shipping chiefly, but now has come the
turn of the American shippers. Recently
application was made by the master of an
American vessel to Consul WiIdman at
Hong-Kong, for clearance to the Island of
Cebu, one of the Philippine group. The con-
sui was obliged, owing to the fact that the
peace treaty had not yet been ratified to
decline to issue a certificate and as no one
else was empowered to do so, the vessel
must forego her trip, unless the officials
here take a different view of the matter.
AS the decision undoubtedly will have
considerable effect upon a prospective val
liable trade with the Philippines, it is
watched with some interest. In the case of
the foreign consuls stationed in Cuba, the
Treasury Department, after endeavoring to
concoct some sort of exequatur that would
suffice to meet the temporary emergency,
has been obliged to call on the attorney
general for his advice

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Secretary Of
War and Mrs. Alger gave brilliant recep-
ton at their home tonight TO the officers
of the army and their families Veterans
of three wars were there, as well as the
young volunteers of the past summer, all in
full-dTess uniform, which, with the hand
some gowns of many of the women and the
beautiful decorations of the house made a
scene of unusual splendor. Members of the
Marine Band were stationed in the hallway
on the second floor. where they played
throughout the evening. The host and
hostess welcomed their hundreds of guests
at the entrance Of the green drawing room.
In addition to a graceful arrangement of
flags, including the special one designed and
adopted for the secretary of war. the tapes
UNCOVERED walls were sprayed with as
paragus vine, while the mantels and cab
inets were adorned with white roses and
delicate ferns. Mrs Alger wore a most be-
coming gown of white moire, trimmed in
ostrich tips and gold embroidery, with neck
lace of pearls and diamonds. The only as
sistants We're Mrs. Sheldon, who wore a
Paris gown of white chiffon with inser-
tions of thread lace, and Mrs. Pike, in an
exquisite gown of blue silk with appliques
of white lace. Both are daughters of the
host. Aside from the Vice President and
Mrs. Hobart and Assistant Secretary of War
Meikeljohn, the guests were entirely of the
army contingent in society. General
Shafter, with his staff, was present and held
an informal reception of his own in the first
drawing room. The hero of the evening was
Maj Gen. Leonard Wood who has just ar

POOR GERMANS MUST SUFFER-
In Order that Agrarians May Get High
Prices for Live Stock.

BERLIN, Jan. lin the Reichstag to-
day the debate on the meat inspection bill
was resumed. Herr Stole, Socialist, de-
clared that it was the duty of his party
to uphold the interests of the consumers
against the Conservatives, who represented
the interests of the producers. The people,
he said, wanted good, nutritious meat
Count Observation-Disclosures, the minister
OF the interior and representative of the
chancellor, denied there was a scarcity of
home meat, and quoted statistics as show
ing that the. consumption of meat per head
had increased. Continuing, the minister of
the interior said that the chancellor and the
federal governments were in every way
prepared to fully attend to the interests of
the consumers The question was whether
the residents of the cities should have
cheaper meat or the rural community suf-
fer incalculable and lasting injury. So long
as it was not proved that the food of the
people was affected, the government would
defend the interests of the rural minority.
This declaration was greeted with cheers.
