There is much speculation in the Indiana
delegation as to the assignments
of Mr.. Oyerstreet. He is supported Dy ms
colleagues for the chairmanship or post
offices and post-roads, and hepupican
members generally express the opinion tnat
no better selection could be made. There is
great rivalry for this chairmanship, and,
among Others, Representative sherman, Oh

PEACE IN THE FAR EAST.
Russia and Japan Are Settling Their
Differences

BERLIN, Nov. THE negotiations be-
tween Russia and Japan have so far ad-
yanced that the announcement Of a settle
ment may be expected soon. The terms Of
the agreement are not disclosed here. 1t
is only reported that a friendly adjustment
Of the differences between Russia and
Japan is as good as reached, and that all
prospect of war mas disappeared. The
Foreign Office, in consequence of this knowl-
edge, has received the Vienna report that
the Car and Emperor William have signed
a far Eastern agreement with smiling in
credulity. The officials here say it is one.
of those idle inventions that follow any
meeting of soyereigns. No such agreement
has been signed. Germany's interest in the
far East is regarded as being of too slight
a character to justify her in even contem-
plating war in any ev~entuality. Russia
could not offer consideration, now or in the
future sufficient to bring Germany into a
war with Great Britain.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. THE chief
interest which St. Petersburg now seems
to take In the far Eastern situation is IN
regard to the attitude of the United States.
There Is a growing belief that American
sentiment is distinctly unfriendly. This feel
ing In the official world undoubtedly ex-
tends to business circles. Americans here
are constantly asked if 1t is true that
America Is the enemy of Russia. This
sentiment is undoubtedly attributable chief
ly to the American attitude as given By
the English newspapers, but the publica-
ton of Secretary Hays reply TO the B'nai
are fairly voiced by NJ. Souverike, editor
Of the Novoe Vremya, the most powerful
Russian newspaper. In expressing amaze
ment at the nti-RusSian agitation in Amer
lea, which, he declares, is Incomprehensible
here, he says:
Russia proved her friendship for Amer
lea in the trying days OF the revolutionary
Alaska. After the Spanish war she offered
no obstacle to American expansion in the
Philippines. Now, when Russia is dealing
with the difficult problem of Manchuria.
America seems to forget and sides against
Russia. Is that treating Russia fairly?
American interests in Manchuria are insig-
nifcant compared with ours. Russia hay-
ing poured in millions for the purpose of
civiliZing the province, is entitled TO the
fruits of her labors. Personally, L think il
childish to ever r~elinquish it. We want to
preserve the friendship of America. Does
America count-a possible rupture so lightly
as to be unwilling to consider our vast
interests? In spite OF the far Eastern tele-
grams of the British press, l think the
danger is over for the present. Russia
desires peace. but If Japan forces war She
will be able to meetfft."
YOKOHAMA, Japan, Nov. Ut is re-
ported semi-officially at Toxic that Admiral
Alexieff. the Russian viceroy of the far
East, will shortly remove his headquarters
from Port Arthur. to Vla6ivostock and
resign the viceroyalty in favor of a certain
Russian prince, and that V1adivostock will
be made an oren port.

CONFERENCE WITH PRESIDENT.
Senators Discussed Legislation with
the Executive.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA conference to
review the work to be done at the extra
session Of Congress and to discuss matters
of legislation during the regular session
was held at the White House to-day be-
tween Senators Allen, of Iowa; Aldrich, Of
Rhode Island; Cullom, of Illinois; Plat, of
Connecticut; Hale, Of Maine, and Spooner,
of Wisconsin. The conference lasted over
an hour, but 1t was stated by the senators,
on leaving the White House, that the exact
form of legislation to put Cuban reciproc-
ity into effect had not been decided upon.
In view of the prompt action of the adj
ministration In recognizing the new repub-
lie or Panama, 1t was stated that no legis-
lation on that subject would be absolutely
necessary, although II might DE desirable
to give the President authority to conduct
canal negotiations with the new republic.
An Endorsement by Congress OF the Presi-
dents action in recognizing the republic OF
Panama may take the form of providing
diplomatic agents for the new republic.
The question of financial legislation was
discussed, but no conclusion looking ITO a
change OF the general understanding that
no general nnancIal legislation will la I'M
dertaken at the called session was reached.
The Cuban reciprocity legislation was dis
cussed Tor some time and the possible diff
ferenceS between the Senate and House con-
sidered. All agreed that it would not be
wise to have a contest with the House over
the form of legislation and that an under
StanulHS sHouiu De reached III Is believed
no question will be raised by senators as
to the form of the bill and that the legisla-
ton will be passed as speedily as possible.
Member of the House agree that the bin
will contain Articles Il" and "II' of the

reduction on certain goods imported from
Cuba. The bill also will enact the provi-
sions of Article s, which provides that there
shall be no further reduction Of duty on
sugar from Cuba or FROM any other coun-
try during the life OF the treaty, which Is
five years. 1t is evident from the opinions
expressed by senators at the White House
conference to-day that they will avoid any
contention with the House on any point that
is likely to lead to an indefinitely long con-
stitutional debate. The Senate therefore
Will be inclined to accept any measure the
House may pass that will put the treaty
into effect and will indorse the eighth
article regarding noninterference with the
sugar duty during the life of the treaty.

Fish Hatcheries May BE Closed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-United States
Fish Commissioner Bowers has recon-
mended to Secretary C~ortelyou that the
five fis-h-propagating stations in Michigan
be closed until the disputes with the state
game warden cease. Three OF the stations
are owned by Michigan and are operated
by the government authorities. The United
States fish commissioner has the support OF
the Michigan fish commissioner, but the
state game warden under the laws OF the
state is permitted large discretion. The
closing of the stations would mean the loss

dred million commercial food fishes.
