Mitchell Sees No Hope of an
 Immediate Settlement
BOTH SIDES DETERMINED
Miners Leader and Governor Peabody Hold Conference at Denver, But No Results Ensue-Order
 Will Be Preserved.

Denver, Colo, December 6.-President John Mitchell and Governor Peabody had a conference lasting three-quarters of an hour today and tonight, but the settle ment of the strike is as far distant as ever. MT. Mitchell informed the gover- nor that the strike would continue to the bitter end, and the governor, just as posi- lively, informed the strike leader that he would tolerate, no violence. and would order out the troops at the first provoca- ton.
 While the conference came to naught both Governor Peabody and President Mitchell expressed themselves as pleased with the interview, each saying he had secured a better conception of the position of the other.
 MT. Mitchell refused to discuss the con- ference other than to say his talk was very pleasant. After the conference he left for Chicago to attend conference there in the interest of the Illinois mi ners As to his return to Colorado he is undecided.
 Speaking of his talk with MT. Mitchell, Governor Peabody said tonight:
 The conference was very pleasant. al though productive of no result. At it's conclusion MT. Mitchell stated that so far as he could see, there was no immediate probability of the settlement of the strike"
 The governor added that when he asked President Mitchell If he had any sugges- tion to make, the latter said that if a committee of the miners could meet with the operators and talk over the situation, a settlement might be effected

age and financial transactions already de- scribed. It is engaged in experimenting the arrangements for an extensive Philip pine exhibit at the St. Louis exposition of 1904. It has conducted an extensive correspondence and answered multi tude of questions asked orally and In writing by the people of the United States and for that purpose has kept up a sys- tematic collection, arrangement and tab ulation of statistical information regard ing the islands and their affairs. It has carefully scrutinized and compiled in in- telligfble and comprehensive form the re- cepts and expenditures. of the fnsular government from the audited accounts as they have been forwarded from time to time The work of the bureau has been most satisfactory.
 Reports Submitted.
 1 submit herewith the report of the chief of staff the reports to him by divis- ion and department commanders, and the annual reports of the heads of the bu- reaus of the war department; the reports Of the board of ordnance and fertilization, the commissioners of national military parks. and the board of commissioners of the Soldiers home, District of Columbia; the report of the inspection of the nation al home for disabled volunteer soldiers; the reports of the board of visitors to the
 
 Point of the superintendent of the United States Military academy, of the Army War college of the General Service and Staff college at Fort Leavenworth, of the artillery school at Fort Monroe, of the engineer school of application at Wash ington. of the school of submarine de- fense at Fort Totten, of the school of application for cavalry and field artillery at Fort Riley, and of the army medical school at Washington.
 Character of Service.
 I wish to express my keen and grateful appreciation of the kindness, generous loyalty, and sincere effort which, with rare exceptions have characterized the chiefs. of bureaus in the war department and their assistants, military and civil, the civil assistants of the secretary of war, and the officers of the army gen. orally, during my entire term of service as secretary. l do not think any govern ment ever had a body of public servants presenting a better standard of personal character, higher average of compe- tency, or more completely controlling sense of public duty. A country is for tunate which has such officers to rely upon in time of need.

CHANGE WILL
 BE VERY QUIET Beginning of Regular Session in Senate Without Feature CUBAN BILL COMES FIRST Reciprocity Measure Will Be the sub- ject of Many Debates Which Will

 tor Culom.
CUBAN BILL COMES FIRST

Washington, December 6.-The senate tomorrow will pass so quietly from the extraordinary session into the first regu- lar session of the Fifty-eighth congress that spectators who are not familiar with the proceedings of that body will scarcely realize that the change has occurred.
 In connection with the terms of Satur days adjournment resolution, the hour of meeting will be Il 80 a. rn when the usual morning business will be transact ed At 12 o'clock Senator Fry as president pro tenn, will announce that as the hour for the converting of the regular session has arrived, the special session shall stand adjourned. The regular routine will be proceeded with as if there had been no interruption.
 The Cuban reciprocity bill will be taken up at the conclusion of the morning hour, and it will continue to be the regular business before the senate, to the exclu sion of all other matters except those of a routine character, until the 18th inst, when a vote will be taken. number of senators have prepared speeches in opposition to the bill, but none of these will speak until after Senator Cullom, who as in charge of the measure, makes statement in support of it. which he will do as soon as possible after the converting of the regular session. He will be fol- lowed by either Senator Teller or Senator Morgan in opposition, and they in turn by the other senators who object to the bill.
 The understanding the senators have, is that the Presidents message will be re- eeved Monday.

 LEADS THE DISTRICT
FIFTEEN NEW MEMBERS lNlTl- ATED INTO THE LOCAL LODGE OF B'NAl BIRTH, THE LEADING JEWISH SECRET SOCIETY.

The Birmingham lodge of B'Nai B Rith, the leading Jewish secret society, yester- day morning initiated fifteen new mem- bers running the membership up to 16O Two weeks from yesterday fifteen more members will be initiated and the Bir- mngham lodge will then have the largest membership of any lodge in district No ( composed of the states of Alabama Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ar kansas, Florida and Texas
 The meeting yesterday was largely at tended and to further dignify the occa- sion all the official chairs were filled by either past or present grand officers. Samuel Ulman, past grand president of the district. acted in the place of M. Williams as president; Joseph Beitmann, past grand president. bcted as vice presi- dent in the place of M. Vols, and Nat Strauss of New Orleans, secretary of the grand lodge acted as monitor in the place of Morris Friedman.
 While the proceedings are not public it is understood that MT. Strauss, the grend secretary was greatly pleased with the progress made by the Birmingham lodge. and he says 1t is probably the largest and most representative body of Jewish citizens in any one lodge of the order.
 On Sunday, December 20, another initia- tion will be held which will increase the membership to 175 and a large attend anee is expected. This will make Bir- mingham the banner lodge of the dis trict

 Both of the negroes arrested yesterday lay all the blame of several burglaries committed recently on the shoulders of Pleas Williams. and they claim that the articles found in their possession were bought from him. If their tales are true Pleas has broken into and robbed several places recently besides the one for which he was arrested Friday

TO FORM SHOOTING LEAGUE.
Arrangements to Be Made for Some
 Real Good Sport.

Arrangements are being made to get up a shooting league in Birmingham with about six teams, and shoot two or three times a week. At present there are only two teams in the city, that of the Birmingham Athletic club and the Nineteenth street shooting gallery, but there are a number of good shots in the city and an effort will be made to get them into league.
 Interest in rife and pistol shooting is being aroused as result of these matches and it also furnishes good practice. They have developed several good rifle and pis- tol shots. In the future there will prob ably be two shoots week between the Athletic club and the Nineteenth street gallery team.
