scHLEY's COUNSEL DISSATISFIED
They Don't Like Howison's Letter for
More Than One Reason.

When the correspondence reached
Admiral Schley he discussed it with
his counsel. Later in the day the fol-
lowing announcement was made: ''Ad-
miral Schleys counsel is entirely dis
satisfied with the position of Admiral
HowiSOn as disclosed in his letter to
Acting Secretary Hackett, made public
today"
The lawyers hold that it is not a
comprehensive denial of the state
ments attributed TO Admiral HOwiSon,
nor. they say, does it disclose suffi-
ciently the admirars freedom from bias.
1t is probable they will set forth these
objections in a letter to the acting sec
rotary of the navy.

MARCHEKs LACK ENTHUSIASM.
They Also Lack Numbers, and 1t Rains on
Them-No PIckets at Canal Dover.


Them-No Pickets at Canal Dover.
rhe march of the McKeesport strik
ers to Duquesne yesterday afternoon
was n disappointment TO the strikers,
partly because of the heavy rain dur
ing the parade and the meeting in an
open lot. and partly because of n lack
of enthusiasm. 1t was expected that
at least 5000 of the 1900 strikers
would participate in the march, but
by actual count there were 553 in line.
The rain came down ia torrents from
the time the parade started until the
column returned to McKeesport.
The men marched without any
cheering or noisy demonstration, and
no trouble of any kind developed. 1t
was expected a halt would be made at
the Duquesne mill gate, but no stop
was made. Several mill men came
out of the plant with their dinner buck
cts on their arms, but were not inter
viewed. There was no strike talk
heard at the Duquesne mill and the
mill men cid not manifest the interest
expected.

Conference oil the Bay view Men.

The details OF the conference of the
Bay View committee and the Amalga-

vulged by either party. but the fact
that the committee is here at all would
indicate that the Bay View strikers are
uneasy. J. II. Hickey and ]. +. Coop
er, of the committee. had been here
since Monday. but their presence had
not been generally known. The gen
eral belief Is that the main object of
the committees visit was the purpose
OF arranging some compromise by
which the Bay View plant may re-
sumo. President Shaffer. on the con-
trary, says the two men did not come
hepe as representatives of the Bay
View lodge. The lodge did not send

quest to be allowed to go to work"

IN ANN-CHINESE BILL
KAHN WILL INTRODUCE ONE AT
THIS SESSION.
viii Be Along the Lines of the Geary
Act BuN With Some Much Stricter
Provisions in 1t.

WASHINGTON, December 31.-After
conferences with Commissioner of I'M
migration Powderly and other officials,
Representative Kahn has decided to in
trOduCe his Chinese exclusion bill this
session instead of waiting until the be-
ginning of the new session. This is not
done with the idea of securing the pas
sage of the bill at this session, which is
out of the question, but the early intro
duCtion of the bill will enable the
friends of the measure to rally to its
support and organize for the fight that
will inevitably follow. While the bill
with proper effort will no doubt be pass
ed, Indifference and lack of concerted
action might jeopardiZe it. 1t is known
that powerful influences will be at
work to prevent the passage of any
exclusion bill, the grounds of the OBJ
lection being sentimental largely, but
nevertheless convincing to a certain
class of Eastern Legislators. especially
when such diplomats as Minister Wa
employ their wits in that direction.
Commissioner Powderly inclines to
the belief that l should wait until next
session." said Representative Kahn to-
night. He argues that as the bill cam
not pass at this session it should not be
introduced. But l have reached the con-
ClusiOn that it is better to put the bill in
and to have the preliminary ground
fought over now, with the intention of
obtaining the passage of the bill early
in the next session. The labor organic
atoms of the Pacific coast and all other
people affected by the threatened in
fluX of Asiatics must combine and exert
their utmost influence in favor of the
bill in order to insure its success.
THE bill l propose to introduce Will
contain certain features different from
the present Geary law, though the gen
eral tenor will be the same. The prin-
cipal change will be provisions giving
the Government the right to appeal
from decisions of the Commissioners
and the further right of the Govern
ment to bring it's case before any Com
missioner. Under the present law a
Commissioner may be unjustly in favor
of the Chinese and may decide that the
Chinese may remain in the country,
even though the evidence is strongly
to the contrary. From such decisions
there is no appeal. A bill to correct
this state of affairs was drawn up in
the Department of Justice and sub
mitted to Chairman Ray of the Judi
ciary Committee, who referred it to a
special committee, of which | am a
member. l shall insert these changes
in my bill and shall introduce the bill
probably next Monday"

NILES REPLIES 70 ALGER
SAYS MANY FALSE STATEMENTS
ARE MADE.
Thinks That 100000 Soldiers Have
Made the Public Familiar with
Facts About the Embalmed Beef

WASHINGTON, December 3O.-Lieu-
tenant-General Nelson a. Miles says
that former Secretary of War Russell
A. Alger made false assertions in the
article written by him and recently
published. The commander of the
Army today returned from South Car
DINA where he has been on a hunting
trip. He said he had not read the Alger
article but he talked like a man who
was quite familiar with all it contained.
General Alger says he was told,
that you knew two or three months in
advance that bad canned beef was be-
ing sent to our soldiers; that while you
were at Tampa you were perfectly
familiar with such facts as you later
made public, but gave the Secretary of
War at the time no hint as to scandal
There are many false statements in
that article answered General Miles.
Il do not care to reply now in detail
to what General Alger has accused me
Of He took two years to think up his
attack on me, and it is reasonable to
suppose | would take a little time to
frame a proper reply to him. As to
his article i'm general, l think the people
of the country are pretty well aCquain-
ted with the facts as to Army beef.
There are many things not yet
known which may be made public when
l make a reply if | decide to do so.
But as l say, the neople of the Nation
know a good deal about the kind of
beef our men had to eat during the
war. There has been much published
and there have been witnesses and a
thorough investigation, and the cOun-
try formed an opinion long ago. But
] say that 100000 soldiers who have re-
turned to their homes since the war
probably know something of the quality
of the canned beef. They have told
their story in every corner OF the Ma
tior and it need not be told again
| by me. Therefore, l cannot say what
steps | will take in the matter.
"As l understand it, the article which
has just appeared is a chapter of a
book to be published soon and written
| by General Alger | may wait until
! that book comes out, so that l can OBJ
tain complete information as to what
has been said AGAINST me. But ! may
determine not to reply at all"

CHINA ACCEPTS.
Note of the Powers Accepted in It's
Entirety.


WASHINGTON, December 31.-The
State Department has received a dis
patch from Conger at Picking, dated
yesterday, announcing that the Chinese
plenipOtentlaries have notified the rep
resentatives of the powers that the EN-
perOr DEGREES acceptance of their de-
mandS as a whole, and Prince Ching
requests a further conference. They
also desire that military excursions to
the interior cease. This last request is
in accordance with the views of the
President.
In diplomatic quarters the acceptance
given by the Chinese ENJOYS is regarded
as a most ingenious stroke of diploma
Cy. In diplomatic quarters il is said
that this is not an unconditional aC-
ceptance, although it is such a concur
renee in the general principle of the
note that the powers cannot well set
ii aside. 1t appears to be directed to-
ward reopening the word "irrevOCable"
and securing more definite, and, if pos
sible, more moderate conditions on
some of the points involved. 1t is not
clear whether the ENJOYS Will sign the
note first and then ask for negotia-
lions or endeavOr to ameliOrate the
terms before the final signatures are
affixed. In any event, it is felt that
the graVest features of the trouble are
overcome by the submissive attitude
of the Emperor, and but little remains
now but to perfect the details of the
peace treaty on the general lines here
tofore laid down.
Minister Wa is back from his trip to
MOntclair, y. j., but is still without ad-
vices from Picking as to what has been
done. The report of an ediCt from the
Emperor directing an acceptance has
not reached the Minister, SO that he had
no occasion today to confer with the
State Department.
