odelI-Platt. Et Als.

Governor Odell of New York has come and gone back to his post, and the occa- sion of his visit at the invitation Of the President has caused much political spec ulation here.
 Odell was invited to perform in little harmony concert with Senator Platt. The Governor came here fretting and com ulafning of the obvious annoyance Of having to renew avowals of allegiance 10 a man to whose cause hehad already conl- Inttted himself This plainly meant that Rooseyelt's demand to know how he stood on the main question at the present writ ing was decidedly distasteful to the Gov ernor. It Is said he went home in better humor. having got such concessions from Platt as to New York as placed him In command of the situation.
 The friends of the Senator, who. with excess of good nature, yesterday came ont strong for Roosevelt, admit the ven- erable benedict has practically put aside his old passion for bossing things In York State and given himself over to new found charms of domestic felicity. Others say the Senator got the worst of the har- mony deal, and had to play minor part to the lead of younger men-Roosevelt and Odell-
 The most interesting effect of Odell s visit is the fact it appeared to afford particular pleasure to the Democrats of the New York delegation. They say the harmony effort was not a success; that 1t was played by note; was without heart and void of inspiration.

 The Countess, during the closing argu- ments. sat unmoved in the prisoners en- closure, occasionally examining the faces of the jurors through a lornette or glanc- ing through the window at the gathering crowds of, her Polish countrymen who assembled in, the neighborhood of the court house, with the design of making political demonstration if she should be convicted.
 Race feeling has been notable fea- ture of the trial as the 300.0o0 Poles resi- dent in Berlin never forget an opportun- ityr to protest against Prussian Justice. The Polish newspapers asserted that if the Countess was convicted 1t would be caused by partiality. The authorities ex- pecting rioting should the result be conviction. filled the court and adjacent squares with police.

MUST CHANGE VOICE
RESULT OF KAIsER,s THROAT
 TROUBLE.
Method of Speech Must Be Altered in Order to Give Wound in
 Throat-An Opportunity to

Berlin, Nov. 2D.--Efnperor William has changed his voice moduiating 1t So as tt6 reduce the pressure on the vocal cords. He now speaks in q somewhat lower pitch, his utterances resonAting against the cavities of the mouth. He has not yet trained himself fully, and he may take the services of teacher, so that he can apply correctly the method taught in voice culture. His throat specialists have explained to him the theory of voice production which he has practiced with success.
 The Emperor heretofore has been using his larynx in the ordinary fashion, that Is, expelling the air against the cords without counter pressure produced by q rebound from the resonatins cavities.
 It will be possible when the Emperor's 8 voice is trained completely for him to speak easily, more clearly and longer without the slightest injurious strain. The cords will be able to carry quite as far, or even further. The Emperor's advisers have accepted the theory of pr. H. H Holbrook Curtis of New York, which has been made familiar to the German phy- sicians by Prof. H. Krause. the throat specialist, who attended the late Emperor Frederick. Professor Krause believes that several throat diseases can be obviated. and in some instances cured by using the voice scientifically.
 The official announcement that the Elm peror had begun course of voice cul- ture was contained in the following bulle- tin:
 New Palace. Potsdam, Nov. %, 19OS.- The surgical wound on the left vocal cord has been scared over since November 10. His majesty. the Emperor and King. will still require careful use of his voice for considerable time, until the scar be- comes sufficiently firm.
 Ills majesty is now undergoing mas- sage treatment of the larynx along with voice exercises. His majesty probably will recover the entire use of his voics within few weeks.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Although basis of settlement of the strike of the employees of the Chicago City Railway Company was decided upon at 1:30 o'clock this morning, and the agreement was ratified by the men few hours later. not a single car Is in service on the entire sys- tenn tonight ' 'E
 The only cars operated to-day were manned by non-union men under the same conditions that have prevailed since the inauguration of the strike a week ago last Thursday. For some un- explained reason. the management of the Chicago City Railway was not officially notified until tonight that the strike had been declared of. While the men were ratifying the agreement decided upon early this rnorning by which the hIen were to return to work, the company continued to operate its cars under po- lice protection on. the five branch lines that had been opened for trafic since the inauguration of the strike.
 Manager McCulloch finally received word from President Mahon of the strik- CTS union that the strike had been de- clared of. The trainmen have been or dered to report for duty at o'clock tomorrow morning. This makes the time elapsed since the walkout fourteen days to the hour and minute.

THE HOUSE.

Washington. Nov. 25.-Until the Senate either passes the Cuban bill or rejects it, no proposition to adjourn the extra ses- sion of the Fffty-eighth Congress will be entertained by the House of Representa- tives. This Is the declared position of that body today and indicates no change of the stand taken by Speaker Cannon and his colleagues. As this has now be- come understood by the leaders of the Senate there Is likely to be no effort made by that body to bring the extra session to an end until it lapses into regular ses- sion December 7th.
 Speaker Cannon is making all possible speed in the organization of the House. Today he received the recommendations of MT. Williams, the Democratic floor leader. for the minority assignments, and that phase of tho work was practically concluded at an extended conference with the minority leader.
 The committee assignments will be an- nounced Monday. it is anticipated.
 On taking the stand of not adjourning the extra. session until the Cuban legisia- ton Is disposed of, house leaders declare they are simply emphasizing the purpose for which the session was called in good faith, and with no disposition to reflect in any way upon the Senate.
 On the Senate side 1t Is said that an agreement to fix the vote assures the passage of the Cuban bill, nothwith- standing the fact that no proposition of final adjournment will emanate from the Senate. All resolutions heretofore have originated In the House. and the Senate does not wish to break that unwrftten law.

 Washington, Nov. 2s.-Representativ Curtis of Kansas, introduced to the Pres ident to-day C.. E. Foley of Elfaula. I. T.. who recently was designated by Q convention of the inhabitants of the In- and lay before Congress their desire to have the territory represented in Con- gress by c delegate.
 MT. Foley has presented to Congress petition that the people of the terri tory bc authorised to elect . delegat9 who shall have c seat in the House of Representatives and be empowered to represent them in matters of concern to them pending before Congress. All pres vention which selected Mir. Foley and the form of statehood for the territory and all mooted political questions were elim- mated from consideration by the ccnven- ton.
 The resolutions adopted by the conven- ton which were presented to the Rresi- dent urged him to recommend In his an- nual message that the territory be granted q delegate to be elected by the people. the man so elected to have the power and privileges exercised by. other delegates in the House. The need of suca a delegate Is indicated. particularly in the deliberations incident to providing some form of local self government for the territory. It is pointed out that ai- though the territory has a population of 60o,000, 1t has no free school system. 100000 children. in the rural districts be- ing without school facilities; no asylums for the insane and no provisions for the caring for the helpless. homeless and the incompetent.
 The people of the territory claim the right of representation in the couaidera- ton of such matters as are of vital concern to them. The President promised Mir. Foley to give the matter careful con- It is recognised that some obstacles may be in the way of acceding to the re- quest, but they may be surmounted.

and that he hoped that the next time any one claimed Cuba to be dependency of the United States that the Senator would be prepared to fortify his position with facts.
 Hale Calls It Dream.
 Mir. Hale declared the elaborate picture of Cuban statehood to be one of fancy and impractical in every feature. He made protest against 1t on the ground that the agitation was injurious to Cuba at the. time when that republic is trying to negotiate a loan to clear off obfiga- tons which accrued in her revolutionary period and that any scheme for a change of government which is not a part of the Cuban program makes 1t harder for her to conclude her financial arrangements.
 Mp. Carmack declared that the Cubans could take no alarm over Mir. Newlauds 6 resolution or what he could say on the subject.
 ''lf they are alarmed" he said, 'it Is because of the action of tho United States in using the navy of this country to as- sist a lot of French adventurers in dis an American republic. It Is such conduct as this on the part of our that makes the Cubans and others suspicious of us.''

 Bunder Abbas. Persia. Nov. 25.--Whiie on his way here, the vieeroy of India. Lord Curzon, held durbar at Shargah. which was attended by many prominent Arab chiefs of that coast. He made significant speech, re-afiirming the inten- ton of Great Britain to maintain her su- premacy in the Persian gulf and declar- ed the government adhered to it's policy of guardianship and protection of the chiefs.
 The viceroy reminded the chiefs of engagements not to enter into agreements or correspondence with any other power than Great Britain, not to admit agents of any other gevernment. aud not to ailenats any part of fheir territory.
 If the chiefs adhered to these eiiBage- merits as they had done in the past no one would be allowed to tarnber with their rights and liberty. The viceroy concluded with emphasisink the fact that the influence of the British govern ment which maintained the independ- ence of the chiefs and made the gulf a shore to all nations. must remain su- preme.
 The speech of the viceroy to the Brit ish Indian traders who have arrived here similarly asserted British ascendency in trade and other interests in the Persian gulf, which had been won in competition with other nations. who 'heid or aspire to hold' ports on the India seas.
