Secretary Hay Reports to His Asso-
ciates in the Cabinet.
NEGOTIATIONS WITH FOREIGN POWERS
Trade With China to Be Left
Without Restraint.
ADMIRAL WALKERS CALL

Secretary Hay at today's cabinet sas
sior reported the result Of the n, goilatiors
with the European powers in the matter of
Keeping an open door for commercial ptir-
poses IN China. He reported that the as
sent OF all the important European coun-
tries had been obtained except that of
ialy, and ii is expected that Italy Will
soon agree to the proposition. England
France. Russia and Germany, the countries
most deeply interested, have Just notified
the represent 3tives of this country abroad
that they Will aid IN keeping an open door
at all times. This is all the United States
has desired and is far as the uecotia-
tions will go.
1t is said that Secretary Hay at first en-
tered upon the Ii eotiations with the idea
of merely feeling the pulses OF tile Eu-
ropean countries and to have them declare
tier policies 10 China. 1t is doubtful
II the Prcsit mt ana Secretary Hay had
made up their minds to any definite step II
the answers of the European states had
been different
Saved From Selling Territory
A cabinet officer says that one thing is
certain, and that is that the United States
has been saved the necessity of seizing
Chinese territory that our commercial rela-
tions with that country might not suffer-
ieSIuelll MChIusey. with MS eye to COM
mercial development. he says would not
have permitted Europe 10 divide China and
do as ii saw lit without assurance that the
open door would be permanently maintain
ed. No step in the way of seizure of ter
rltory is now necessary. Each of the coun-
tries has declared that her policy is to
maintain free trade relations and to place
no restrictions anywhere. The United States
Is too big and powerful a country to have
faith broken with her without the penalty
beng paid. The precedent of scizing for
elgn territory was one which the President
would have been loath to set yet he might
have been compelled TO take that step had
not the present negotiations rendered IL
out of the question When the negotiations
began the President did not have any set
purpose in view. and knew only that in a
general way the trade relations of the
United States in the far east must be un-
mClested.
The associates of Secretary Hay congrat-
ulated him on the successful result of the
negotiations.
The cabinet meeting the first of the new
year, was the shortest held in six months.
The members explained this by saying that
Secretary Root was absent. Matters in his
department usually take up a great deal Of
the time of the President and cabinet.
Admiral Walker Calls.
Admiral Walker. the head of the isthmlan
canal commission, had short talk with
President Mckinley this morning. Admiral
Walker said later that the members of the
commission would leave New York Satur-
day for Central America to begin their In
Vestigations of the canal routes. They will
go on the steamer Aleane and will stop first
az Greytown.

PROPOSED ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Chairman Hull Says Some Measure
Will Probably BE Presented.

Chairman Hull of the House committee
on military affairs says some measure Of a
general character relating to the organiza-
ticn of the army probably will be presented
at the present session of Congress Mr.
Hull had a number of conferences with
War Department officials prior to the hol-
days with a view to reaching an under
standing on what was needed in the way of
military legislation, and it is understood
that bills are being matured for submission
later.
The chairman says the present law will
do as temporary measure, but as it speci-
hcally provides that the present organiza-
ton of the army shall cease on July l. 1901
ii is imperative that this Congress do some
thlns In the way of army organization
either this session or next. He holds the
view, however, that conditions are too un-
settled in the Philippines and elsewhere TO
say definitely to the number of troops in
permanent organization, although he is
conhdent that there will never be reduc-
ton of the regular army back to 5000.
There are several general features OF
army organization which Mr.. Hull believes
will be embodied in such legislation as is
enacted. These include the three battal-
ion formation, which was a marked de-
parture inaugurated by the last act and
has given general satisfaction.
Another feature is that allowing the army
to expand from within" by increasing the
numerical strength of the companies. in
stead of creating new regiments. Mr.. Hull
says this feature has proved most bene-
fcial, as it gives an elastic organization,
capable of ready expansion in time of need,
without additional officers and an entire
new organization.
The staff organization of the army is also
likely to receive attention. Secretary Root
favors a change in the present system. with
a view to having a detail staff'-that is,
staff bureaus recruited largely from the
line of the army. This would be a marked
departure, as the present staff bureaus are
almost entirely permanent Among mill
tary experts there is said to be considerabl
difference of opinion on this point, as the
German, French and other continental mill
tary systems have permanent staff organi-
cations. Great Britain is the only great
power having detail staff

NOT READY FOR THE HOUSE,
No Business Yet In Shape for Con-
alteration.

NO business 1et III shape for Con-
alteration.
Speaker Henderson said today that no
exact program Of business in the House
Of Representatives on the reassembling to-
morrow and during the balance of the week
had been made up, and the view prevailed
with the Speaker and his associates on the
rules committee that there would be ad :
journments until appropriation bills and
the measures before other committees were
ready for action by the House. The urgent
deficiency appropriation bill is yet to be
passed on by a subcommittee and the full
committee, and the meeting for organiza-
ton will not occur until Thursday The
outlook. therefore, is for little business be-
fore the House during the remainder of
this week.
There is some prospect of a sharp con-
troversy over the consideration of resolu-
tions of inquiry relative to the Treasury
Department. During the recess several
members are said to have prepared resolu-
tions Of this character intending to claim
immediate consideration for them as "privi-
legged" 1t Is said, however, by those who
are authorities on House procedure that
this privilege would not permit the con-
sideration OF resolutions tomorrow but
that the resolutions, if introduced. would
be referred to a committee for one week.
after which they could be called .up for
immediate consideration.

MutiIated Remains of Mrs. Jones
Found Nenr ROsser. Ala.

CHICAGO, January "A special to the
chronicle from Birmingham Ala, says:
The mutiated remains of Mrs. Jennie
Jones were found in a ditch near Rosser,
Choctaw county. The arms and legs had
been hewn from the trunk with an ak and
the head had been severel with a knife
bruise on the head indicating that death
had been inflicted with an AK. All portions
of the body had been partially burned, and
it was with difficulty that the identity of
the dead woman was established.
The smodering ashes of a spent fire in
nearby thicket showed that after the wo-
man had been murdered her body had been
cut to pieces and heapcd upon a pile of
brushwood, which was then lighted, but
the fire failed to accomplish its work and
the remains We're then cast into the ditch
and covered with leaves.
