GATHERING IN AT WASHINGTON
Members of Congress Arriving and Pre-.
pairing for the Coming Session.


pairing for the Coming Session.
Washington, Nov. 26.-Senators and
members of the house of representatives
are beginning to arrive in Washington
preparatory to the meeting of congress
next Monday. Most of the leaders will
be here during the early part of the
week, as the president desires to confer
with them before putting the finishing
touches on his message. Today's ar
rivals included Senators Spooner, Ali
son, Fairbanks and Bailey, and Speaker
Henderson. Senator Spooner spent
some time at the white house tonight
in conference with the president.
Speaker Henderson expressed the
opinion in an interview tonight that
there would be little legislation at the
coming short session aside from the
passage of the appropriation bills. He
added, however, that the president
would have the first inning. The
speaker expressed his belief to some of
his callers that constitutional amend
ment would be the only means of deal
ing with the trust question.

Major Reed Dead.

Washington, Nov. 20 Major Wal
ter Reed, an officer of the surgeon
generals department of the army, died
here last night. Major Reed was sent
to Havana to investigate the yellow
Fever question, and it was largely
through his researches that the deter
mination was reached that the disease
was communicable through the NOS
quito. His death was due to appendi-
citis, for which an operation was per-
formed last Monday.

BLOCKS THE CANAL.
United States May Not Take Up Nicaragua
Route Again.

Washington, Nov. 27- The cabinet
meeting yesterday was devoted almost
exclusively to the consideration of
the status of the reciprocity treaty with
Cuba and the canal treaty with Colom-
| bia. The bitches that have occurred
in the negotiations were discussed, as
were also the prospects of settlement.
secretary Hay, while presenting the
subject of the canal negotiations,
was not able to report that
any progress had been made dur
ing the past week. In fact, it appears
that the negotiations have come to a
dead stop, and while no such thing as
an ultimatum has passed, the precise
situation may be described in the state
ment that the Colombian minister here,
Concha, has distinctly informed the
state department that he cannot, in
behalf of his government, accept the
last proposition of the United States
as basis for canal treaty. The
state department has already let it be
known that it has come to the end of
its concessions, SO the chances of a
renewal of the negotiations in the
near future are not very bright.
This state of affairs will stimulate
the negotiations with Nicaragua and
Costa Riaca for the alternate route,
but it now appears that the diplo-
matte representatives Of those coun-
tries are not disposed to allow them
selves to be used to coerce Colombia.
and therefore are desjrous OF remaining
in the background until it shall be
clearly established that no treaty can
be made between Colombia and the
United States. -
One of the statements of fact in
connection with the Panama route
which has been brought to the atten-
tion of the state department is that the
original canal concession will expire in
1904, and it has been suggested that
the Colombian government has that
fact in mind, and is disposed to re-
frain from II aking treaty now, in ex-
pectation that the franchise will lapse,
and it thus may be in position to
build the canal itself, or to sell new
concession. Such a course would raise
a very serious question between the
government, the Panama
canal company, the French government
and the government of the United |
States as to whether or not supple
decree extending the conces-
sion 10 years from 1904 was valid.

POsTOFFIcE ROBBED.
Probably $4,000 Taken and Daring Thief
Got Safely Away.


Got Safely Away.
Chicago, Nov. 25.-The Chicago post
office was robbed of probably 10000
today in most daring manner. The
robber made his escape without leaving
any clew to his identity. Two regis
tered mail sacks containing the money,
which had just been picked up from
two of the down town substations, were
left in an unprotected wagon in front of
the Masonic Temple, while the mail
carrier went into the building to gather
mail that had accumulated there. The
carrier was gone only moment, but
when he returned his horse and wagon
had disappeared While the carrier
had been in the building the robber,
who had evidently. been waiting his op-
portunity, jumped into the rig and
drove away. The rifed sacks and the
horse and rig were afterward found
where the thief had abandoned them.
The street was full of people at the
time of the robbery, but not one seems
to have noticed the thief.

The manager of the street railway noti-
fed the mayor that the company's en-
ployes were willing to work, and de-
manded that they be protected by the

mex;co getting Tired of Silver.

Mexico City, Nov. 81. - The heavy
advance in the gold premium has
caused great excitement in financial
and business circles. The premium
has been rising all week, and has
reached III. It is generally conceded
that a gold standard cannot be long de-
layei, as silver fiuctuates in value so
rapidly that it cannot be relied on as a
ba sis of currency.

MILES IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Found the Army in a Fair Condition
People Very Poor. -

Manila, Nov. 27.-General Miles will
leave here for China, Japan and Russia
at the end of the week. Discussing the
Philippines with the correspondent of
the Associated Press, General Miles
said: r. Z ..,.. -, NJ
''I have seen 13, 900 of our troops,
and will inspect more of them before
leaving. I found them to be in fair
condition. This is hard country for
campaigning. inspected the princi-
pal defenses of the islands and some of
the harbors which the government may
fortify. I found the people generally,
impoverished from the effects of the
war and the pestilence which followed
it, and fear some may suffer from
famine. The death of farm animals
leaves the people no means of recover
ing.'

TWO DEAD IN MINE FIRE.
Were Overcome by Gas While Battling
with the Flames.

with the Flames.
Trinidad, Colo, Nov. 24.-Two min
ers have lost their lives in fire which
started in the Colorado fuel and iron
company's mine at Engleville. Last
night a severe explosion of gas occurred,
u hich spread the fire over consider
able area. No one was in the workings
at the time. This morning a gang of
Is or 20 men were. put to work some
distance from the fire, but the foul gas
drove them out. Four men were
overcome, one being brought out dead,
and one being carried 200 feet and left
behind dead. Two who were taken out
unconscious have. sirce recovered.
Every available man is fighting the
fire, but it is probable the mine will
have to be closed indefinitely until the
flames are smothered.
