LOOKS FOR ARBITRATION.
Washington Expects Chinese Trouble to Be
Settled in That Way.

Washington, Jan. 6.-That arbltra-
ton of the Chinese question is likely to
prove the only satisfactory method of
effecting a solution is shown by the
attitude taken by Minister Conger con-
corning the indemnity. The minister
has been waiting for the signature of
the preliminary agreement by the Chi
nese ENJOYS before submitting a pro-
posal from Secretary Hay that the rep
resentatives of the powers agree upon
a lump sum and determine the proper
distribution to reach an agreement
and should they fail, this latter matter
should be referred to a court to be APP
pointed in accordance with The Hague
convention.
Mr.. Conger has replied to the state
department that it will be difficult for
the ministers to agree upon indemnity
without an arrangement having been
reached by the powers themselves.
This government is now exchanging
views with the other powers, but the
details are not at this time available.
The state department denies the re
port that the United States has ap-
preached any European pawer. or con-
templates doing SO with respect to Rus
sia's continued occupation of Manchu-
ria. The decree issued by the Car and
published in the newspapers, this
morning, reiterating the policy of non
acquisition of Chinese territory are ac-
cepted as showing the intentions of the
St. Petersburg government.

Missionaries at Pekin Not Satisfied With

Pekin, Jan. Ca meeting of the Prot

to consider the terms of the joint note OF

spoke on the subject, and the general
opinion was that the note is not compre-
nenSiVe enough.

board said he was opposed to it for three

could be expected. considering VINO pre-
pared it. Still. it was unsatisfactory.
The Rev. Mr. Whcrry pointed out that
the note was not comprehensive enough.
The Rev. Mr.. Lowry thought it was
only preliminary note, and said the
missionaries should get together like
business men and press their demands
when the time came for making the trea-
ties
The Rev Mr.. Upcraft thought the men
ton of Christianity in the note would
have been a mistake. as it might have
prevented it's adopuon by Japan.

missionaries should adopt a program ana

POSSIBILITY OF WAR.

displayed in diplomatic circles here IN
Senator IIawleys statement on the ho"r
of the Senate. saturday. during the De
bate on the army reorganization bill. that
we are not altogether out OF sight OF
some possibility OF war with some Euro

This power is undoubtedly the one that
Secretary Root referred Ia in his speech
several months ago in New York, and to

making preparations.
While there is no official willing 70
stand for the statement, IL Is evident that
the national authorities are carefully

the policy board. of which Admiral Dew
cy is president. has not lost sight of the
dcsirability of having American men-of-
war distributed in such fashion that
American interests will Ire adequately

and two armored cruisers. the New York
and Brooklyn.
BESIDES the vessels, the United States
has its Pacific squadron. which would
promptly reinforce the ASiatiC command.
consisting of the battleships Iowa and
Wisconsin, The Philippines would un-
doubtedly be the battle-ground. as the
German vessels would have to be near
their base of supplies in case OF war.
With respect 10 the Atlantic coast. il is
known that Germany has not been col
lecting any supplies of coal or munitions
of war in the West Indies, and 50 far as
known. she is not in alliance with amy
power which will place its base al her
disposal. Consequently she would have
to seize n base. and the caribbean sea
would therefore be the scene Of conflict,
as ii was during the war with Spain.
1t is particularly desirable. frcm the
naval point OF view, tnat the United
States should acquire the Danish West

Washington. IAN. 6.-The secretary
of the navy has arrived at the conclu-
sion that the law relative to the build

tie: one to the Bath Iron Works of
Bath, Me. and one to the Newport

Hope to Pull Enough Members Into Line 10
Defeat the Measure.

Washington. Jan. G.-Thc consideration
of the reapportionment bill will be re
sumed. tomorrow. in the House The in
dicationS point to a final vote on the
measure, Tuesday. but the fight over the
basis of apportionment is a bitter one
and the debate may be prolonged. The
confident that his bill will carry. but in
order to pull it through he is now ready
to concede an increase of three members
to cover the major fractions OF the states
of Florida Colorado and North Dakota.
If his bill passes ii will probably be with
this mOditica ton
The opposition is very aggressive, bat
on the surface seems To lack the strength
necessary to carry the Burleigh bill.
There are forces at work, however, by
which the opposition hope, through the
agencies of Senator Quay, Senator Platt
of New York. and Senator Lodge of Mas
New York Pennsylvania and Massachu-
sets into line, and if successful, the Hop
kins bin may suffer defeat.
Mr.. Crumpacker of indiana. proposes TO
move to recommt the bill with instruc-
tons to reduce the representation of the
Southern states. but there is no idea that
such a proposition will prevail.
After the disposal of the apportionm1nt
bill the river and habor bill will be taken
up. 1t is expected to consume two days.
The remainder of the week will Toe d.

The Senate will continue TO give prac-
ticallV uninterrupted attention to the
army reorganization bill until that meas
ure shall he disposed of. That the bill
will pass no one doubts and the general
opinion is that il will get through some
time during the present week. Senator
Hawley. chairman of the committee on

that the measure will be in conference u!
Wednesday. but other senators POSTPONE
the date somewhat. There are several

United States is among the features
which are almost certain to come in FOR
