COlOnists Wanted for Venezuela.

NEWPORT, r. l., Jan. 23.-There is un
usual activity at the naval training station
here, and judging from the large number of
men employed it looks as If rush orders had
been received. In the machine shop alone
there are twenty-five mechanics at work,
and in all the departments the work is
being carried on to the utmost capacity.
The work of assembling harbor defense
mines. which are to be supplied to all the
battleships in commission, is being pushed
ahead, and as fast as the outfits are ready
they will be shipped to the various vessels.

Mr.. Sp0ONER CONSULTED
ON ISTHMlAN AFFAIRS

Senator Spooner Of Wisconsin was at
the State Department today In consul
tation with Assistant Secretary Of State
Loonis regarding the progress OF affairs
IN the Isthmus of Panama.
The State Department ridicuIes the
report that Columbian troops will en-
deavor to march from Bogota district

Nothing further has been received by
either the State or Navy Departments
regaIuIng TIE report that Colombian
troops are gathering at Buena Ventura,
on the Pacific Coast. preparatory TO en-
barking on two British merchantmen
for the isthmus.
The only international action taken by
the Stare Department regarding the re-
port that British ships are to transport
Colombian troops from Buena Ventura
10 the isthmus Is the transmittal of a
dispatch stating this fact 70 the British
government. This government has never
intended to prevent the embarkation Of
troops. but strict orders have been sent

HOUSE LEADERS FIRM
ON REVENUE PRINCIPLE
Conference at White House Docs Not
Shake Them on Senate Controversy
on Cuban Reciprocity.

A general discussion OF the legislation
necessary to make Cuban reciprocity ef-
fective. took place at the White House
last night, In a conference between the
President. Secretary Moody. and House
and Senate leaders. Senators Allison.
Aldrlch, Plat of Connecticut Spooner.
Hanna. Hale, Lodge, and Wetmore,
Speaker Cannon and Representative
Payne. DalzeIl, Tswney, and Hemenway
were present. The conference lasted
from $40 to II O'Clock.
The members OF the House dined with
the President. and then went over with
the President parts Of his message TO
the regular session. The Senators came
in at $40. and in the general discussion
that followed the old controversy about
the right OF the House TO originate all
revenue legislation was the principal
topic. The House members claim tina,
by the present treaty the duty on sugar
is not TO be reduced. either by treaty or
contention. during the life OF the con-
vention. Hence. they argue. to concede
the position OF the Senate would be a
surrender OF one of their constitutional
powers. The conference reached no con-
ciusion. but it is said. unless the con-
tention Of the House is allowed, the con-
troversy that win arise may defeat Gu

.LITTAUER MAY APPEAL
CASE TO CONGRESS
Attorney General Has Declined to Re
open the Matter-Question Of
Guilt Not Involved.

Representative Lucius Nathan Lit
tauer. of New York. may appeal to his
brother members OF Congress for the
vindication that he has failed to receive
at the hands of the President and the
Attorney General He asserts that he
wishes to prove to the world that he was
entirely guiltless of any violation OF the
law. either in letter or spirit. in connec-
ton with the army glove contracts
Mr.. Littauer, IT Is said. fears that
unless he IS publicly vindicate1 he will
lose his political grip on the Twenty
fifth New York district. He did not
have a very large majority at the last
election and fears that he may have
trouble in securing the nomination the
next time unless his good name IS
cleared.
In a letter to John C. MiIburn, os
Buffalo, n. Y, attorney for Representa-
tive Littauer. Attorney General Knox
has refused finally TO reopen the case
arising from the alleged unlawful con-
nection OF Mr.. Littauer with the army
glove contracts. The letter Of Mr. Mil
burn. in which he requested the case
be reopened and the reply of Mr.. Knox
containing his decision not TO reopen
it were made public yesterday after
noon at the Department OF Justice
Abiding to the fact he decided that
no part OF the consideration in the
contract for $1,000 pairs of gauntlets
could be recovered by the Government.
Attorney General Knox says:
This was all the Secretary Of War
asked me 10 decide. The question
whether Mr.. Littauer was interested in
the contracts under consideration was
not submitted for decision, and ] did
not pass upon IL directly or indirectly
Nor was it necessary for me to de-
termine that fact, as in any view OF
the case, IN my opinion. the money
paid by the Government could not have
been recovered"
Mr.. Knox points out that the statute
OF limitations stands IN the way OF a
criminal prosecution. even If the statute
had been violated and he shows that
whenever it is certain that prosecution
for an alleged violation Of law Is barred
by Limitation, the question whether
there has in fact been a breach OF law
Is never gone into and il he had done
so IL would have exposed him to the
charge Of having made an exception TO
the presidents of his Office in Mr. Lit
tauer's favor. He says no matter " hat
might be his conclusions in the fats.
he would have no official duty TO per-
form, and the proceeding would be
vain, extraordinary. and without rea-
son or precedent to support IT,"

SCRAMBLE FOR PLACE
ON DISTRICT COMMITTEE
Thought That Virginia Will Get One of
the Five Vacancies That
Exist.

Although Speaker Cannon has not had
time to give the matter much attention.
there promises to be a lively scramble
for the vacancies on the House Dis
trict Committee.
1t is taken for granted that those
members of the committee of the last
Congress who are members OF the pres
ent House will be reappointed. and
there is no doubt that Representative
Babeock will be chairman II member
ship on the committee is based upon
the partisan division of the last Con-
gress there will be FIVE places to I'LL
three with Republicans and two with
Democrats. OF the Republican mem
bers in the last Congress who were on
the District Committee. Mr. Mercer Of
Nebraska and Mr.. Blackburn Of North
Carolina failed OF reelection. while Mr..
Stewart of New York was not candi-
date; of the Democratic members, Rep
resentative Latimer of South Carolina
has been promoted to the Senate, and
Representative Norton of Ohio was de-
feated for reelection.
There are several Republicans who
believe that the District Committee
would be a good berth for them and
who are anxious to be selected for mem
bership thereon. Representative Gooch
of Kentucky is one OF the Democratic
aspirants for appointment. He is now
serving his second term in the House
and takes a great interest In District
affairs. II is probable that the other
Democratic appointment will go to a
member from Virginia. as that is a
nearby State, and since the death of
Representative Otey 1t has not been
represented upon the committee.

After 2 delay of four years, the trou-
bic between the Protestants in Jeru-

the Protestant cemetery there. has been
settled. Four years ago the Protestants
OF the Holy City decided to sell their

adapted to cemetery rLrposes.
For some reason the sublime porte re-
fused TO sanction the sale OF the old
