CARES BUT LITTLE
Naphen Resolution Causes Small
Concern to British Gov
eminent.

London, Feb. 2c-The reported de-
termination of the house Of represent
atives at Washington to inquire into
the question whether the United States
has broken the treaty of 1871 by per-
uniting the expectation of horses,
mules and other supplies to the British
forces i'll South Africa, created more
academic interest than practical con-
Germ in the government departments
here.
A representative of the Associated
Press brought the dispatch on the SUBJ
ject to the notice Of the foreign Office
and war Office The officials of the
latter regarded the possible effects of
any future action in the United States
as being of small import, as about all
the mules and horses required for
South Africa had already been Sc
cured.
During the course of the inquiries
made by the Associated Press repre-
sentative the interesting opinion was
expressed that the end of the war as
an active campaign was now in sight
and that within a few months military
operations in South Africa would as
sumo that stage which for four years
has masked the wal in Burmah,
which wore itself out without attract
ing particular attention.

REGARDED WITH FEAR
Condition of War Revenue Re-
duction Bill Considered
as Precari0us.

Washington, Feb. 19-The status Of
the war revenue bill is causing con-
siderable apprehension among the
members Of the house, as the two sides
are apparently deadlocked in confer
ence with no present indication that
either will yield.
There was some talk today of a con-
ference or caucus of republican men,
bers of the ways and means commit
lee to decide upon a line of action, and
before the bill is allowed TO fail some
such course will be adopted.
The friends Of the bill are sanguine
that it it gets before the house again a
motion to concur with the senate will
receive a united support OF the demo-
cratic side and such scattering support
on the republican side that it will
prevail. The opponents of the bill
also realize that this may occur and
for that reason there is less belief
that the bill will fail, although its
condition is looked upon as rather
precarious.

MAKES SOME PROGRESS.
Senate Continues Consideration of Post
Office Appropriation Bill.


Washington, FEB. 2O-The senate
spent the day on the postoffice approp-
ration bill, making some progress,
but not completing it. The amend
ment of Butler of North Carolina pro-
posing a reduction Of about 9 per cent
in the pay Of the railway postal SER
vice was defeated, IS to 81, after a
debate in which Depew answered But
ler's criticisms on the large profits
made by American roads.
Late in the day a sharp controversy
on the pneumatic tube question was
precipitated by III amendment offered
by Mason extending that service to
Chicago, and n by Vest extending it
to St. Louis.
Hale severely criticised those pro-
noting the system, referring to it as a
LOB and lobby" When he made a
point of order that a committee had
passed on the amendment the advo-
Gates of the extension quickly %circulat-
ed a call for a meeting of the commit

Executive Receives Certified Copy
of Decision in Nc
KenZie Case.

Washington, Feb. 9-President Nc
Kinley today received a certified copy
of the decision Of the San Francisco
court in the Mckenzie contempt case.
1t was taken to him by Representative
Lacey of Iowa. The president prom
ised to examine it closely, but did not
bind himself to any course of action.
The anti-Noyes and Mckenzie peo-
pie are carefully avoiding contact
with Attorney General Griggs now.
They look upon him as being against
them because he has refused to take
any action OH the verbal statements
made by them and the numerous
n%ewspaper" clippings filed with him.
"We have laid the case before the
president himself" said one of the
anti-people today. eff he refuses to
take any action in the face Of the
scathing rebuke in Judge Ross de-

ter for the people to judge. All the

NO LAW VIOLATED
Government May Permit Shipment
of Horses to South
Africa.

Washington, Feb. 20-The answer
of the state department. to the house
resolution calling for a statement of
its reasons for allowing United States
ports to be used for forwarding Ameri-
can horses and other supplies to the
British army in South Africa, a priv
ilege not enjoyed by the Beers, will
point to the well established section Of
international law warranting neutral
nations in selling supplies to belliger-
ents, though these supplies may prop
erly be secured by a belligerent. 1t
also will be shown that no obstacle
was interposed by the United States
government to the purchase of horses
and mules by the Beers, who, presum-
ably. did not do SO because they were
unable to land them in South africa.

China Will Comply with Full

Pekln, Feb. 2O-The foreign ENJOYS
this morning received an unofficial
communication from the. Chinese
plenipotentiaries offering to agree to
all the tersm of the powers. The
Chinese desired, however, to ave the
lives of Chao Shu Chiao and Wing
Men, but were informed that the
ministers insisted upon their former
demands. A complete surrender is ex-
pected tomorrow. The foreign minis
tiers believe the gravity of the situa-
ton is over, but it is expected that
there will be difficulty over the indem-
nifty claims from the various govern
ments, especially Germany's announce
ment that her claims must be paid in
cash before evacuation takes place.

LENTZ MAKES COWARDLY AT
TACK ON DEAD.
INVITES MER|TED REBuKE
Scored by Republican for Declaring
Soldiers Were Justified
in Deserving.

Washington, Feb. 2O-The house
finally passed the sundry civil appro-
priation bill today and entered upon
consideration of the general deficiency
bill, the last of the general a%ppropria-
ton bills.
Lentz, dem., O., who in this and the
previous congress has violently at
tackled the administration, furnished
the sensation of the day. He used a
newspaper paragraph recounting the
death Of a federal judge in New Next
co, who had been a member Of the leg
islature which elected Senator Hanna,
as a text for charging corruption in
that election. This called forth a re-
buke from Cannon, who declared that
brave men fought the living and only
ghouls ravished the tombs of the dead.
Grosvenor of Ohio attempted to re-
ply and the two Ohioans we're anxious
for the fray, but Cannon would not
permit it. He thought if "dirty
linen" was to be washed the gentle
men should hire a hall.
Later Lentz made a second onslaught
of a more sensational character and
brought down upon himself the whole
republican side of the house. In some
remarks about the paragraph in the bill
for an appropriation for paying for
%arresting deserters, Lentz made the
startling charge that soldiers in the
Philippines had buried a native alive
and had then beheaded him, and he
read a letter written, he SAID, by a
soldier in the Philippines saying that
he and his companions while on an ex-
petition were ordered to shoot every
man and beast they found. He said if
these things are true, the soldiers were
justified in DESERVING.
Cannon, Mahpn Of Pennsylvania,
Grosvenor of Ohio and Moody Of Mas
sachuserts, amid warm applause,
strongly rebuked Lentz. Cannon de-
clared that were Lentz in the Philip
pines he would be tried by court mar
tial and shot. Mahon said that Lentz' S
remarks were revamps Of copperhead
speeches of 40 years ago, and Moody
read the words of Lincoln, "that a
man who encourages a soldier to desert
is worse than the deserter."
Sherman offered an amendment des-
ignated to prohibit hazing at the naval
academy on penalty of dismissal.
This amendment was pending on a
point of order when the house adj
journed.

SENATE REJECTS PROPOSED
LAW AGAINST HAZING.
FOR AMERICAN OWNERSHIP
Senator Deboe Advocates Construc-
ton Of Nicaraguan Canal
by United States.

Washington, Feb. 19-By the en-
phatic vote of Is to AZ the senate late
this afternoon rejected the conference
report on the military academy ap-
preparation bill.
The action came at the conclusion
of a spirited debate upon the provi-
sions against hazing inserted in the
report by the conference committee Of
the two branches Of congress.
The discussion of the provision
which was precipitated at the close of
yesterdays session by Daniel Of Vir-
ginia occupied the greatest part Of
to1ay's session and the report Of the
conferees was rejected because it was
regarded by large majority Of the
senate as too drastic, and, while no
instructions could be given the con-
ferees by the senate, it was understood
that to ecu favorable action by the
senate a modified provision as to the
penalty for hazing would have to be
presented and agreed upon by the con-
ferees.
Early in the day Deboe Of Kentucky
delivered his announced speech upon
the Nicaraguan canal. He reviewed
at length the proceedings which led
up to the present situation and strong
ly advocated the construction Of the
waterway by the United States. E
Al effort was made to obtain con
sideration for the bill reviving the
grade of vice admiral of the navy,
for the benefit Of Rear Admirals
Sampson and Schley, but it was una
vailing.

Considers Proposed Military Expe-

Peace Negotiations.

Washington, Feb. 19-During the
cabinet meeting today a cablegram
was submitted from Conger, referring
to the proposed military expedition in
China, under command of Waldersee.
1t showed that Conger had protested
to the ministers council against a
hostile movement Of this character,
but that his protest had failed to re-
ceived consideration, the other minis
tiers taking the ground they had no au-
thority to influence military opera
tions one way or other.
Minister Conger has been instructed
by cable to communicate to the for
eign ministers at Pekin the feeling
of the United States government that
further hostile expeditions should not
be INDUCED in at that time.
This action was taken by the state
department after the cabinet discus
sion had developed the attitude of the
administration. It is understood that
this course was regarded best, since
it left room for another appeal to the
powers, directly through their foreign
offices, in case Minister Conger's
efforts are FUTILE.
The state department. officials de-
cline to make public the text of the
note. However, it was said to be in
perfect accord with the policy already
developed and to make manifest the
deep conviction of the United States
government that these proposed hos
tile propositions are in violation of
the rights of individual parties to the
peace negotiations because tending to
