JACKIES FOR COLON
! GO ON RUSH ORDERS.
Navy Department Intimetes They
VIII Be Transferred to China.

New York: To the surprise of navy
officers here, the navy supply ship
lCulgoa, which sailed from the Brook
llyn station for Colon Sunday, had to
take 500 bluejackets selected under
rush orders from Washington from the
men OF the receiving ship Hancock at
the navy yard. Nearly all bluejackets
are long-term men. Ostensibly they
are being taken to Colon, so far as the
navy department has given any init
nation of it's intentions, for transfer
to another vessel, which will carry the
men TO the China station.
Officers ut the navy yard smiled
when explaining the departments pur-
poses regarding the shipment of jack
les, several of them expressing the
opinion that the men are likely to
see more of isthmian than Of Chinese
waters.

Washington: When the House con-
vened Tuesday Mr.. Payne moved that
when an adjournment was taken it be
until Friday. After some debate, dur
ing which Mr.. De Almond Of Missouri
said the House had transacted the
business for which it had been called

CONGRESS CONvENES
IN EXTRA SESSION
A CONDENSED Account Of Proceedings
in Both Houses

Washington; While no proposition
has been transmitted to the House from
the Senate looking toward an early adj
journment Of the extraordinary session
Of Congress, this matter was the sub
ject Of several conferences Monday be-
tween leaders Of the House and Speak
er Cannon.
There was but one sentiment ex-
pressed. and that was that adjourn
ment ought not to be taken until the
Cuban measure was finally disposed of,
or extra session lspsed into the regular
session.
With this view Of the case the ten
tative program Of the House will be to
adjourn for three days at a time.
Panama and Cuba engaged the atten-
ton Of the Senate Monday to the ex-
clusion Of all other questions.
Mr.. Hale moved to reconsider the
vote by which the Newlands joint reso-
luton for the annexation of Cuba was
referred to a committee, and several
speeches were made on the motion
without disposing Of it.
Messrs. Hale and Plat Of Connecti-
cut disavowed any desire on the part
Of the United States to acquire Cuba,
and expressed regret that the resolu-
ton had been introduced. MIR. New
lands defended the measure as present
ing a natural solution of the problem
Of the relationship between the two
countries.
The Panama question came up in
connection with the announcement Of
reorganization OF the Senate commit
tees, Mr.. Morgan (Democrat) Of Ala
bama, being relieved from the chair
manship Of the Committee on Inter
oceanic Canals. Before the order went
into effect, Mr.. Morgan took the floor
and his speech proved to be a discus
sion Of the entire canal question, with
liberal criticisms Of the President for
his course. He had not concluded when
the Senate adjourned.
Before adjournment the Senate unan-
imously agreed to vote on the Cuban
bill December 16 next.
