MATTER OF CONJECTURE
Cabinet Holds Mysterious Meeting
Which Members Refuse
to Discuss.

Washington, June 1O.-In response
to messages from the president late
this evening, after an hours talk with
the secretary Of state, all members Of
the cabinet now in the city assembled
at the white house at 5 o'clock this
evening. There were five of them
present. They came in evening
dress. The cabinet Immediately re-
paired to the cabinet room where
they remained less than an hour.
They took occasion to express their
qualification at the continued i'm
provement in Mrs. McKinley's condi-
ton AID also discussed another sub
ject which none of them would di-
vulge, each member saying it was a
personalmatter and some of them Civ
ing out Negative information that the
meeting had relation to the Cuba, Chi
ma, the Philippines, Porto Rico, the
supreme court decision, Boer war, or
any other important public question.
The personal injunction on each mem
ber to say nothing about the matter
prevented any information on the
subject being had.
Several cabinet officers said their
calls had something to do with Mrs.
McKinley's continued Improvement.
Some said the matter was either of
a social or personal nature and chief
ly concerning those present.

AMERICAS POSITION ON CHI
NESE INDEMNITY.
PRESIDENT IS RESTRICTED
Constitution Prohibits Him From
Committing the Nation
New Concert.

Washington, June lO.-The govern
ment has formally communicated to
the foreign powers the impossibility
of joining in a joint guarantee for the
payment of the Chinese indemnity.
The difficulties in the way Of such an
arrangement are set forth in the COM
munication, particularly those relat-
ing to the constitutional restrictions
on the president making joint guar
antee of this character impossible.
In view of the determination Of the
United States not to be a party to
a joint guaranty, there is anxiety
shown in diplomatic circles as to the
outcome on the question of indemni-
ties. One view is that the majority
of the powers, being favorable to a
joint guaranty, will execute this joint
instrument and thereafter carry on a
concert of their own. In that event, it
is said, the United States would ar
range directly with China as to the
American portion of the indemnity.
The representatives of most of the
European powers do not believe that
a resort to The Hague tribunal, as
proposed by the United States, will
be acceptable to their governments.

HIS JUDICIAL IRE up
Denver Judge Administers Severe
Rebuke to Delegation Of
Reformers.

Denver, June 10.Judge Peter L.
Palmer today addressed severe ju-
dicial rebuke to more than one hum
dred 'reformers" who appeared in
his court, as they had previously an
nounced through the newspapers they
would do, to protest against the grant
ing of injunctions against the city and
police boards in the cases of restaur-
ants claiming the right to serve
drinks with meals and saloonkeep-
er who held that under the law he
was entitled to sell liquor to women
at his bar.
The Judge closed his remarks by
declaring that he intended to make
judicial inquiry into the question OF
whether or not certain clergymen OF
Denver, who denounced him in their
pulpits yesterday, were in contempt OF
court and that if he satisfied himself
that they were he would Immediately
take their cases up and give them the
full punishment under the laws.

BRECKENRIDGE :es NEXT MA.
TIONAL ISSUE.
HIS POLICIES ALL WRONG
Kentuckian Believes People Will
Never Endorse Nebraskan Cur
rency or Other Views.

Lexington, KY, June 10.-In let
ter in answer to one asking for his
views on thes reorganization of the
democratic party and future issues,
Colonel w. G. P. Breckenridge, ex
democratic congressman, says:
"The American people will never
consent to such legislation concern
ing the currency as will put into the
statutes the views of Mr.. Bryan. 1t
is equally true that the American peo-
pie will not approve Of the territorial
policy advocated by Bryan. 1t is ina
possible to win without such a nomi-
nee and platform as will secure the
support of those democrats who re-
fused to vote for Mr.. Bryan in 1896
and 1900 and it is also impossible to
win without the support of the regu-
lar democratic party.
1T has occurred to me that the is
sue in 1904 might be our relations
with our new possessions. That these
will be retained is now certain. That
the principles promulgated by the
supreme court in the late opinions
will be accepted by the people is Ger.
tain"
After outlining the questions in
volved, Colonel Breckenridge says:
"To adopt this policy does not re.
quire that any democrat should re.
tract any utterance heretofore made
or apologize for any course heretofore
pursued"
