SUFFRAGE IN SOUTH.
The President Again. a Reduction
Of Southern Congressman.
INVESTIGATION OF CUBAN FINANCES.


Washington, Nov. 1.-THE opinion
Is growing among public men who are
in the confidence of the president that
he will oppose any movement looking
to a reduction of the congressional
representation of the southern states,
on account of charges of the disfran-
chisement of colored voters. The
president is said to be opposed to re-
wing i'll feeling, which he thinks
would be the result of a bill thus
touching the south's suffrage. He
has been told from many sources rer
Gently that an important element of
southern business men, manufac-
turers and others is at heart with the
republicans and that the nucleus of a
future revolution against existing
political methods in the south has
been securely established and should
not be dissipated by legislation that
would be regarded as sectional.
On account of the presidents atti-
tude there is a growing opinion that
legislation looking to the reduction
of the southern representation will
not be pressed by party leaders in
congress. In this connection it is
suggested that any action taken with
reference to the suffrage of the south
in advance of the adoption of a def
mite policy in the Philippines might
throw some embarrassment in the
way of the proper disposition Of the
citizenship rights of the Filipinos and,
moreover, it is felt that the govern
ment has as much as it can deal with
now without getting into contention

A SECRET TREATY.


London, Nov. 17.-Unconfrmed
statements emanate from Paris and
Odessa that a secret treaty has been
concluded between Russia and China
for the Russian occupation of Man
| churia. There is no fresh news this
morning throwing light on the ac-
tuol situation. The Japanese minis
ter in London, who was interviewed
yesterday, limited at the possibility of
the allies pursuing the Chinese court
into the interior If they desired, al
though he said it would be Il long
process.
Shanghai sends report that the
empress dowager, alarmed at the ris-
ing in Kan Su province. now contem-
plates returning to Tai Yuen Flu.
From llankow comes a report that
Gen. Tung Flu lIsiang is still at Sian
Flu, protecting the empress dowager,
that Prince Tuan has fled to Kan Su
and that the whereabouts of Yu
Hsien, governor of Shan 81 is I'M
known.
1t is said that Prince Ching will be
sent to Germany to apologize for the
murder of Baron Won ketteler
"Opinion is strong here" says the
Shanghai correspondent of The Daily
Express wiring yesterday, that the
European commanders are doing more
harm than good by the punitive ex.
petitions, which, by the destruction
of villages, excite the Chinese to exc
crate the foreigners, a feeling which
1t will take a century to eradicate.
1t is perfectly clear that the emperor
and empress dowager care nothing
because few hundred Cinnamon are
killed and the allies would be far bet
ter employed in trying to secure the
return of Emperor Kwang su to Pc
kim"

G'rrs to Leave the Cabinet

washington, NOV. 17.-At the cablA
net meeting yesterday Attorney Cen
eya Griggs informed the president
and his colleagues that after mature
deliberation he had concluded that it
would be impossible for him to re-
main a member of the cabinet for the
next four years. This was the first
definite response from any member to
the presidents wish expressed at the
last cabinet meeting that all of the
portfolios should remain in the same
hands during the coming administra-
ton. The esignation of the attorney
general will not take effect until
March next, and it is thought at
present that all the other members,
with the possible exception of the Sec
rotary of war, will retain their pres
ent positions. The Chinese question
was the main topic of discussion.
Secretary Hay brought with him sew

pose of considering reports upon the
