order for February 3, and to continue so

IMPERIAL chinese
SIGNETS At AUCTION
Seals From Peking Placed on
Sale in London.
WERE PART OF RUSSIAN LOOT
Chinese Hcrrificd at the Proclamation
of the RoynI Objects-What the
Articles Sold Probably Consist Of.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-The Chinese i'm
perial seals. formerly owned by Mr.. z. NJ
O'Brien, of Chicago, were sold at auction
here today for 1891. The purchaser was
Londoner named Robinson. O'Brien
says he purchased the seals from Rus
sian lieutenant, who was ii, Peking at the
time of the relief OF the lega tions.
Raised Question in Commons.
These seals were advertised for sale in
the London papers; and in the House of
Commons yesterday Mr.. John Dillon ques-
toned the Government about them. Mr.
Rtchie, the Home Secretary, replied that
enquiries had been made about the seals,
and that 1t had been ascertained that they
were the property of a person not Il sub
ject of Great Britain, and that. therefore,
the Government could take no action.
Mr.. O'Brien was, it is understood, a
quartermasters agent at Manila. 1t is
stated that he Joined the American ex-
pedition to China in a private capacity,
and that he there secured much loot from
a Russian lieutenant.
Mnndarins HOrrifed.
Mr.. O'Brien carried G1,200 worth to
Japan and thence to Shanghai. He there
discovered that he was in possession of
the imperial seals. Great native excite
ment ensued in consequence of his having
them.
Mandarins and high officers prostrated
themselves, and uplifted their hands in
horror when O'Brien profanely dangled
the sacred seals, enquiring how much
they would give for them.
Viceroy Offered to buy.
The Viceroy of Nanking at first offered
to buy. He explained that he thought the
Dowager Empress would be pleased at the
return of the imperial seals, but as they
had been profaned by the touch of for
eigner he did not believe that she would
accept them.
His principal reason, however. for
drawing back was that the eunuchs at
Court were his enemies, and that they
would twist his present of the seals into
an accusation of having stolen them.
O'Brien saw Ii Hung Chang at Peking
and there Earl Ii said to him: Il admire
your nerve in trying to sell the seals to
the Chinese"
The Washington times., 1902-02-01

Senator Blackburn made his maiden
speech on fhe subject. He said that he
was strongly opposed to the bill not so
much because he considered the proposed
salaries too high. but because he felt
that there should be a general revision
of salaries paid to officials of the Govern
ment. He noted many instances in the
departmental service where salaries are
in his Judgment entirely disproportion
ate TO the salaries of members of Con-
gresS.
All Hands Want Money.
4 noticeable increase in the inter-
est in the bill occurred when SEN
ator Stewart proposed an amend
ment increasing the salaries of SEN
ators. Representatives and Delegates
in Congress to $500 year. Mr.. Haw-
ley. in his remarks paid especial atten-
ton to this amendment. He said that he
was strongly in favor of an increase in
the salaries of Congressman. and that he
is not able TO live in Washington with
on, money coming to him from outside.
He said that he believed his State would
he strongly in favor Of the increase. The
amendment did not come to vote and
the bill went to the calendar.

At the meeting OF the Cabinet yester-
day, President Roosevelt, in discussing
the proposed legislation in favor of Cuba,
expressed the opinion that there should
be a reduction. of at least % per cent, on
sugar imported into the United States
from Cuba.
The discussion of the Cuban question
was not long continued. but the Presi-
dent, in a general way. made it distinctly
clear that he is strongly in favor of trade
concessions for Cuba.

internal revenue war taxes was intro

would invade the rights of the House.
and which sought to declare that such
measures were an infringement upon the
constitutional rights of the House.
Mr.. Payne made the point Of order that
no action had yet been taken by the Sem
ate in this direction. He thought when
the Senate had done something 1t would
then be time enough to declare the posi-
tion and sentiments of the House.
Mr.. Richardson argued the proposition
at some length, but the Speaker sustained
Mr.. Payne's point of order, holding that
the resolution was not privileged. and
that 1t would be time enough for the
House to strike when it was struck at.
The Washington times., 1902-02-01

The House Of Representatives had a
narrow escape yesterday from long
constitutional discussion upon the rights
of the House to originate exclusively all
revenue raising measures
Upon the recommendation of the Com
mittee on Rules the resolution of Mr..
Tawney Rep.. Mimi. introduced on
Thursday, to investigate the subject of
reciprocity treaties, was referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means.
This did not satisfy Mr.. Richardson,
the Democratic leader, who wanted i'm

That Government Paid It.

HAVANA, Jan. 31.-Six witnesses testi-
fed in the trial of the postoffice cases to-
day. The principal witness was Mr. Will
mot. Rathbone's secretary who stated that
Neely had paid some CT Rathbone's pri-
vate accounts. He understood that Rath-
bone had repaid Neely, but he had no evil
dence OF this.
Regarding his various trips, Rathbone
said he went to the United States twice
and his expenses were paid out of the
postal accounts. Regarding the trip of
October and November. 1900, witness
stated that when Rathbone arrived in
New York. he received a telegram saying
that the Postmaster General wanted to
see him in Washington before he re-
turned to Cuba. but that ne (the Post
master GeneraD would not be in Wash
ington until November II.
Rathbone went on Western trip
meanwhile. AS he had to be in Washing
ton when the Postmaster General re-
turned. Mrs. Rathbone remained at
a hotel in Washington. where her
expenses were paid by herself
Witness had no reason to suppose that
her expenses were included in the Of
fetal expense bill.

The committee will take up the sub
ject of reduction of the tariff on Cuban
sugar al an early date. and in advance of
at least the first meeting OF the commit
tee, no one, he said, vas authorized to

There is practically no change noted in
