meeting today, which was held in the
private parlor of the White House and
which was the first one held since the

not be another cabinet meeting, unless
something extraordinary occurs, before the
beginning of the week. The president Is

CALL DOWN FOR PETTlGREW
south Dakotan Attempts to Put Ideas
of His own Into Forakcr's Words
with Disastrous Results.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-There was
another effort in today's executive session
of the senate to secure the confirmation of
Mr.. James S. Harlan to be attorney general
Of Porto Rico and. as on yesterday the
EFFORT failed because OF the absence of "A
quorum.
The attempt to reach vote resulted in
an animated scene, in which Senators For
aker and Pettgrew were the principal ac-
tors. There was a lively exchange of per-
sonalities. The trouble arose over an APP
parent misconstruction OF what Senator
Foraker said yesterday concerning the at
titude of the supreme court on the insular
cases now pending before that tribunal.
Senator Pettigrew today. in the course OF
some remarks opposing MIR. Harlans con-
fimation, referred to Senator Forakers
speech and said that the latter had ind-
Gated a knowledge OF how Justices Harlan
and McKenna would hold in the cases pend
ing before the court.
This statement brought Mr.. Foraker to
his feet with sharp and somewhat excited
interruption. in which he dlsclaimed having
given any such intimation.
1T would be a waste of raw material in
the way OF time" he went on, "for the ad-
ministration to give places to the sons Of
justices OF the supreme court In order to
Influence their fathers to support the ad-
ministration in these matters, for | have

the giving OF official place entirely out
OF the question. and added that it was un-
becoming in the senate to indulge in such
talk. He again referred to the high char
acter Of Mr.. Harlan, as a man and a law
yer, and said that he had been rendered the
same position for which he was now a
nominee a year ago, when there was no
insular cases before the court, and had
declined it.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The State de-
parrment has been advised of the formal
signature by the Chinese plenipotentiaries
of the Pekin agreement, but so far it
knows nothing officially of the difficulties
which arose in connection with the affix-
ing OF the seals. Mr.. Conger's failure to
make any reference to this matter IS
taken here to mean that he did not re-
gard it as involving any serious difficulty.

kin advices to the effect that the formali-
ties have actually been completed.
The next step probably will be a recon
ventlon of the ministerial council at Pc
kin and it is probable the gathering will
be attended by the Chinese representa-
tives. so that the proceedings will from
this point on follow closely in the line of
the usual form OF peace negotiations.

BEWARE OF NEW GRIP.

Physician Describes the Malady That is
Going the Rounds.
There is a new grip going tie rounds

According to well known physi-
clan the new grip possesses all the in
cOnveniences of the more faIHiliardis-
ease with the added discomfort that
comes from its way of concentrating
all its sufferings into a short space Of
time According to physicians it is
not allied in any way with the famous
influenza, but is merely form OF cold
that happens to be more common
this year than ever. lit seizes the
patient suddenly said the doctor,
land the most striking feature of it
is the rapidity with which all the
symtOns of the most serious influenza
are felt.
Two or three hours after the
patient has taken cold the pains that
spred through the body and the dis
tress that he experiences in every
way are compared only to the feelings
OF person with a well developed
case of influenza.
These sensations do not continue
long if the treatment is begun imme-
diately. But in many cases, the in
tensity of the discomfort while the
preliminary stages of the cold last is
greater even than in the case of the
ordinary influenza.

WRESTLING IN JAPAN.
PecuiIarIties Of Art of seIf-Defense
Among japanese.


PeculIarItles of Art of self-Defense
Among Japanese.
A recent attempt to introduce into
England a modified form Of Japanese
wrestling under the name Of "bartit-
su" calls attention to the peculiarities
Of this art of s~elf-defense'' as 1t has
developed In Japan. It is asserted
that the Japanese hold this art Of
theirs IN such reverence that it has
rarely been allowed to be shown pub
licly In their own land, much less
abroad. Wrestling has been a sport
in Japan for more years than can well
be counted. The Japanese wrestler
belongs to a distinct class, and what
he does not know about wrestling in
an orthodox or even unorthodoX way
a scarcely be worth the knowing.
Some of the Japanese wrestlers car
trace their sporting pedigree back for
more than three centuries. They are
all meat eaters. whereas the ordinary
Japanese consumes only rice and fish.
Consequently-this fact is dwelt upon
as one of the strongest arguments
against vegetarianism-they are all
big men. The champions Of Tokyo,
Kyoto and Osaka, when they meet in
annual tournaments, can scarcely
average less than six feet. whereas the
Japanese people themselves are quite
four inches under the European stand
ard. Two hundred and eighty pounds
is not an weight for a ia
panese wrestler, and the heavier they
are the better chance they stand in
championship contests.
