 neiled to Pnt Back. -r.

peiicd to Put Back.
 London, Dec. 1S.-The Atlantic trans- port line steamer Menominee from New York December for London, which put into Falmouth to-day, reports that she encountered heavy gales and that when 560 miles west of the Scilly isl- ands, December 2, she had a terrible experience. Huge waves broke over the vesesl, one wave smashing the rudder head and rendering the ship totally unmanageable. After the storm had somewhat abated the crew endeavored to make temporary repairs, but the Menominee drifted at the mercy of the sea for several days, 1t being impossible to steer her, and she was driven back within 360 miles of the Scilly islands. Temporary repairs were eventually ef- fected and Captain Lucas decided to return to the nearest port. Tugs were sent from the Lizard to assist the Me- nominee, but she steamed to Falmouth unassisted. It is reported that the pas. sengers are all well.

washington, Dec. iS.-When the house convenes tomorrow considera- tion of the pension appropriation bill in committee os the whole house will be resumed. During the week a number of the more important committees will take up pending bills for consideration. but beyond the passage of the pensions appropriation bill it is not believed that much will be accomplished in the way of general legislation before the Christi mas holiday recess, which probably will be taken at the end of the week. It is probable that some minor matters will be disposed of under unanimous consent after the pensions bill is out of the way, and opportunity will be given during the week for further debate on such topics as members may desire to bring to the attention of the house.

 London. Dec. 14.-Special dispatches from various correspondents in Japan received this morning indicate that the nature of Rrssia's reply to the propos- als of Japan will not be permitted to leak out in the latter country. The Daily Mails Tokio correspondent, how ever. believes the reply to be of a con- ciliatory nature and an amicable ad- justment of the existing difficulties is in sight. The correspondent adds:
 As far as can ascertain Russia has made certain concession. to Japan con- cerning Manchuria and is willing to rec ognize Japanese supremacy in Corea. The relaxation of the tension is shown by the distinctly sanguine feeling on the stock markets Contrary to what might have been expected, the effect of the dissolution of the diet in business circles has been favorable. During the week ending December 8 140O0 tons of coal were sent from Japan to Port Arr thur. Doubtless if the Japanese gov- ernment had anticipated war it would have found means to prevent it's ship nent ..
 The premier has received an imperial mandate to carry the negotiations with Russia to conclusion
 A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from one of it's correspondents in the far east asserts that the warships of / both Russia and Japan now in Chinese waters have been painted black, their war color.
 The Daily Mails Chee Foo correspon- dent says the Russian warships now at Chemulpo are the torpedo boat Petro- pavlovsk, the cruiser Boyarin, the aux Hilary cruiser Poltava and the gunboat Bobr.
 The Tokio correspondent of the Times says it is generally believed that the reply of the Russian government to the proposals of Japan concerning the far eastern situation makes for reap proachment between Russia and Japan.
 Tokio, Dec. 1tS.-The Jiji shimpo's Seoul correspondent reports that Corean war minister Shin Keui Son and M. Pavloff, the Russian minister, have en- tered into an agreement by the terms of which. in the event of an emergency, Russian officers will be employed to guard the royal palace.

ROOT AND HIS TALK OF WAR
DID NOT PREDICT ONE WOULD
 COME "SooN."
Declares Latter Word a MIsquotation- What He Really Did Say in His speech Before Society of Philippine Veterans Fam. Snu,a nowy
Come Some Day.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Considerable comment was occasioned here to-day by reports that Secretary Root at a dinner held last night by the Carabao society, an organization Of army and navy officers who have seen active ser vice in the Philippines, had predicted that a war would come "soon" between the United States and some foreign power, but the interest displayed in the report and the speculation it aroused as to what the secretary had in mind were dissipated this afternoon when it be- came known that the word "soon" was a misquotation. Secretary Root him. self said tonight that he had not pre- dicted that war would soon come, but in his speech of last night merely had stated what he has given utterance to publicly on several occasions, namely. that when the time comes, as we know it will come some time, we do not know when and we do not know whence, buS we do know it will come some time, when you (referring to both the army and navy) are called upon to defend your country you will do 1t with mutual helpfulness and comradeship."
 The speech of last, night, it was stat ed, was merely an expression of corlt1- dence that, in the event of war, the navy and army would cooperate and stand shoulder to shoulder, each in sup port of the other and the common coun- try both are charged to support and defend. .....

DYNAMITING IN NEW YORK
TWO MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSIONS .=. ON BROADWAY.
Onein the New Tabernacle Now Build ing and One in a New structure in Course Of Erection at Forty-third street-PoIice Suspicious of Oppo- sition Union Men.

sition Union Men.
 New York. Dec 13.-Two mysterious explosions in the early hours of this morning puzzled the police and caused much excitement among the residents of hotels on Broadway. The first. which apparently occurred in the basement of the building of the Broadway Taber- naele in course of erection at Broadway and Seth street. occurred about 1 a. m. and was audible for several blocks. A search of the premises. however, failed to reveal any damage or even the slight est trace of an explosion.
 The second occurred about four hours later in a building in course of erection at Broadway and 4Sd street. The con- cussion reused the residents of hotels l and dwellings within radius of several blocks. The only resulting damage, how ever, was slight injury to a steam en- | zine used for hoisting material for the building and the breaking of a. rear window in an adjacent hotel. The ex- nlosive, which is believed to have been dynamite, was apparently placed close to the engine and ignited by means of "a fuse, a fragment of which was found i nearby. >@ szs Members of the new Housesmiths' union, No. 1, had been employed on both the buildings and the police believe that both the explosions were the work of members of the opposition housesmiths' union, No. ?, formerly controlled by Sam Parks. who are alleged to have frequently attempted to interfere with the men at work. The police are still in- vestigating.

 These words were contained in an ad- dress upon sThe Wage Question" made by Carroll D. Wright, United States commissioner of labor, before the so- ciety of Ethical Culture of thIs city to- day.
 Of scarcely less interest than his pre- diction of new labor system was Colo mel Wright's approval os plan to in sure labor against iiicapacity resulting from accident, illness or advanced age.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 27.-The court
of appeals today placed a final negative
upon the attempt of Albert T. Patrick
to obtain the vast fortune of the de-
ceased millionaire, William NJ Rice, for

of the estate, estimated at $4,000, 900
or more being bequeathed to the pro-
posed William NJ. Rice Institute for
