PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
1t VIII Play nm Important Part in
the Senate.

1t VIII Play nm Important Part in
the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Att is probable
that very soon after the senate recon-
venes there will be mere or less discus
sion Of the situation in the Philippines,
the resolutions of Senators Ti1lman, Ba-
con, Morgan and Hoar being used as a
text for the speechmaking Senator
Reveridge, of Indiana, who spent several
months in Luzon and other islands Of the
archipelago, and made special study. of
conditions there in preparation for consid-
GRAFTON of the Philippine question when ii
came up In congress, probably will make
an elaborate and comprehensive speech
soon aftor the discussion begins. He had
several conferences with the president on
the subject.
President Schurnnan will not return to
the Philippines with the other members
of the Philippine commission when the
body goes back to Manila, on account of
his duties at Cornell. Admiral Deweys
return IS also more than doubtful. Mr..
DENLY and Prof. Worcester will remain
on the commission after 1t completes
the report upon which it is now engaged
and will return to Manila to aid in the
establishment of civil government.

DRlToIS TO BIZ NOTIFIED
STATE DEPARTMENT IS DETER
MINED TO PROTECT TRADE
RIGHTS OF AMERICANS
NO DEMANDS TO BE MADE
Action Taken Is In the Shape of q
Precautionary Measure to Save
All Points In the Case-Beieved
That the British Government VIII
Make Ample Amends No Hasty
Steps VIII Be Taken.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-The state de-
partment today received from Ambassa-
dor Choate at London, by cable, state
ment of the facts he had developed In
connection with the seizure by British
warships Of American goods on the three
merchant vessels, Beatrice, Mashona and
Maria. The goods comprised not only
flour, but miscellaneous articles of
common trade. They were shipped for
Lourenzo Marques in British and German
ships, but our officials contend that they
were not subject to seizure. They could
not, however, lodge representation on the
subject until they were possessed of a
knowledge of the facts, and as soon as
Mr. Choate's statement came to hand
today instruction was cabled to him to
inform the British government that we
could not admit the right of seizure in
these cases.
This Is the preliminary step usually
taken in such negotiations. Next in or
der will be report from our consular
representative at Lourenzo Marques re-
specting the present condition Of the
seized or detained goods and the dam
age sustained. The state department is
not yet fully informed on the points nee
essary to the further presentation of the
case. 1t is not even known just where
the goods are or If they have all been
seized, or only in part. 1t will be the
duty of our consular agent at LourenZo
Marques to ascertain and report these
facts, and he is now engaged in doing
this under the original instructions of the
state department.
While the department Is acting as 1t
promised in the beginning, to firmly pro-
tect all American rights of trade, 1t is
showing no unseemly haste in the pres
entation of the case. Today's instruc-
ton to Mr.. Choate was not demand for
the release of the goods, nor yet for in
demnity, but rather a precautionary no.
tice to the British government to save all
of our rights in the case. 1t will be suf-
|, ficient to initiate the settlement of the
matter by negotiation, the state depart
ment having not the slightest doubt that
the British authorities will make full
amends to the owners Of the goods when
| the facts are all laid before them.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 2-According to
the Cleveland Leader, information re-
ceived from a source second only to Pres
ident Mckinley and Senator Hanna is to
the effect that Senator Hanna will not
only be the chairman of the next Repub-
lican national committee, but will be both
temporary and permanent chairman Of
the Republican national convention.
This statement may perhaps be ex-
planned upon the hypothesis that such is
the expressed wish of President McKin-
ley, and the president being the only can
didate before the convention for the Of
flee he holds, the delegates will cheerfully
acquiesce.
The only question which has arisen as
to Senator Hanna being leader in the
next campaign was as to his health. The
president has expressed desire that he
undertake the task next year, and the
presidents wish in that respect is to be
gratifed.
The same source Of information is also
authority for the statement that the dele
gates at large from Ohio to the next Re-
publican national convention will be Sen
ators Hanna and Foraker Gov. Nash and
Gen. Dick chairman of the Ohio Repub-
lican committee.

COSTLY LANDSLIDE.
Great Damage Done to Sea Wall ut
Mare Island.

VALLEJO, Cal, Jan. "A serious land
slide occurred on the water front of Mare
Island, last night AS a result $50 feet
CT the sea wall slid into the bay, carry
ing with it tons of granite work, cement
and earth, and looscning up fully 100 feet
more of the wall. The break is believed
to be due to the fact that heavy rains Of
the past few days had so filled the soil
back of the embankment with water that
the pressure coull not be withstool. 1t is
estimated that the actual damage in
money caused by the landslide will be
$4,000, to say nothing of the loss Of time.

JEFFRIEs MAKES AN OFFER.
Will Meet Both Sharkey and Fitz-
simmons Before Sept I.

New York, Aug. 13.-James ]. Jeffries
is ready to defend his title of heavy
weight champion before September l. In
q statement issued the Californian
agrees to fight Fitzsimmons in Madison
Square Garden before September l. This
is his statement:
Being DESTROYS of demonstrating to
the American public that 1 am clearly
entitled to the title of champion heavy
weight of the world, have today re-
turned to my training quarters to con-
tinue nay work of putting myself into
condition. Robert Fitzsimmons, who
demonstrated Friday night that he is
a wonderful pugilist, and. for whom 1
have intense admiration has often
stated since I defeated him that he
would sacrifice anything for another
chance to regain the championship.
When fought him his manager forced
me to give Fitzsimmons 65 per cent of
the purse, win or lose, and in order to
obtain the chance l agreed to this un-
heard of arrangement. Since that time
I have held that was entitled to a SIM
liar division of the purse if I agreed to
meet him again, as there can be no
question that my victory over him was
clear and decisive.
IF F'itzsimmons will Inject me before
September L 1 will agree that the win
ner take all, or that the purse be di-
vided, 10 per cent to the winner and 25
per cent to the loser. If he claims that
it would not be justice to Sharkey to
declare the present match off between
him and the sailor-if this is Fitzsim-
mons reason for not meeting me before
September IL will then make this
somewhat novel proposition: I will
meet both Fitzsimmons and Sharkey
before September l, ''Fftz'' first, on or
about August 25, and Sharkey August
81. This proposition is made with the
view of giving FitzsimmOns the chance
he claims he wants to recover the
championship, and not to do Sharkey
any wrong by shutting him out of his
chance to battle for the title. If by
Tuesday I have received no favorable
answer from Fitzsin1mons 1 shall dis
continue training and refuse to meet
anyone until on or about June I, 1901.
If Fitzsimmons should beat me on
August 25 I will waive my match with
Sharkey to him, and in this way it can
be very pleasantly shown who is the
champion"
F'itzsimmons has not yet made a
reply.
