DO NOT CREDIT THE REPORTS.
Rumored Reduction of Steel Preferred Divi-
dends to Per Cent.

Wall Street showed little interest yesterday in
reports that the United States Steel Corporation
would declare dividends its common
stock and would reduce its dividends the pre-
ferred stock to 5 per cent. The reports were re-
garded as purely Imaginary and mere Guesswork.
No one connected with the management Of the
Steel Corporation would give credit to such state
ments. Some of the officials OF the corporation
have said that with the severest reaction in the
steel business possible the corporation could earn
enough to pay at least per cent on its preferred
stock, and that believed to have been the
basis OF the reports about stopping the dividends
on the common stock and decreasing the dividends
on the preferred stock.
Tho next dividends to lie paid by the corporation
viii be at the OF per cent year for the pre-
ferred and 2 per cent year for the common.
These dividends have already been declared. De-
cision IS 10 the next quarterly dividend be de-

USE OF DELANCEY-ST.
Temporary Occupation by b. r. L.
FaCored by Sub7cGy Committee.

President Orr OF the Rapid Transit Commis-
sion, Commissioner John II. Starin and Con-
troller Grout. the commissions Subcommittee
on subways. yesterday had a conference with
President Winter of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company, and agreed TO recommend to the COM
mission and the city officials that the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company be allowed to use De
lsncey-st. temporarily for overhead trolley
tracks.
The subcommittee also formally indorsed
Chief Engineer Parsons's plan for subway con-
nection between the end of the Williamsburg
Bridge and the Park Row entrance TO the Brook
lyn Bridge. through four track tunnel extend
ing through Delancey-st-, across the Bowery to
Centre-st.. and down Centre-st. to Park Row.
Such a subway would accommodate the elevated
and surface cars from Brooklyn
The action by the subcommittee Is important
chiefly as showing that the Rapid Transit Com
mission and the Brooklyn EapiG Transit Off
cials are disposed TO maze the new Williams
burg Bridge something better than orna-
ment 1t is question whether anything can
be done toward giving TO the Rapid Transit
Company, even temporary use of Delancey-st,
without the consent of the Metropolitan COM
pany which has surface tracks in Delancey-st.
Furthermore, there can be no subway exten-
sons until the aldermen consent to 1t, and the
old Board OF Aldermen had decided to do moth
ing for the remainder of the year in granting
franchises and permits for relieving traffic con-
gestion.
Delancey-st is being widened Possibly the
city. account Of providing for an expenditure
OF several millions fer widening the street fifty
feet. may have power to grant to the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company = permit alongside the
tracks Of tie lnterurban company. The latter
company Is not showing many courtesies toward
the Brooklyn company, however and if there is
sny way to prevent extra tracks from being laid
in Delancey-st. the Interurban company is likely
to use Il.
Controller GrOut said that subway would be
cheaper than the Martin elevated spur plan, as
there would not be any expense for condemning
right OF way

Regarding the dispatch with which the new treaty
was drawn up and signed by Secretary Hay and
Minister Bunau-Varilla. Mr. Pavey said: THE other
treaty had clauses that would have caused dispute
sooner or later. We began work of making a
treaty Monday at noon, and II was ready
for Secretary Hay Tuesday. Not twenty words
were changed in the document The rights OF the
United States now straightforward and clear

Ex-senator Pavey made the statement that DR..

came to this country q few days ago as a COM
mission from the Republic of Panama, presum-
ably to ratify the canal treaty, will not assume
this responsibility.
The commissioners will forward the treaty to

Senator PIatt and Governor OdeI1 did not meet

there was no furthsr consultation about political
matters of Importance in the State and city, When
Governor Odeu accepted Senator PIatt's invitation
to dine at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last evening he
did so In ignorance Of the fact that Mrs Odell had
already made engagement for him Shortly be-
fore o'clock last night Major Harrison K. Bird,
the Governors military secretary, called at the
Fifth Avenue and explained to Senator Platt that
Mrs. Odell had made previous engagement Tor
the Governor and therefore he would be unable
TO take dinner with the Senator. Senator and Mrs
PIatt dined alone and went TO the theatre after

THE DIETRICH CASE.
Report That the President Intends
to Dismiss Summers Denied.
rFRo,t TIE TRIBUNE BUREAU.I

Washington, Nov. 2l.-A report, credited to
the Editor of The Omaha Bee" Mr.. Rosewater,
to the effect that the President intends to dis
miss District Attorney Summers. who procured
the indictment of Senator Dietrich. was circu-
lated in Washington to-day. but appears to be
without foundation Mr.. Rosewater, who saw
the President to-day. is quoted as saying when
he left the executive offices that the Presiden'
was displease6 with Summers. and he be-
Ieved the prosecution could be as ably con-
Quoted by the Assistant United States District
Attorney, Sylvester r. Rush. or by some other
man, he had determined to remove Summers.
That Mr. Rosewater was mistaken in his i'm
Iression Of the Presidents intention appears to
be the case from the attitude OF high official
Of the Department Of Justice. who Indignantly
denied the existence of any such intention, at
tributing it entirely to wild newspaper specu-
lation" and declared the report utterly un-
founded
That the Attorney General censured District
Attorney Summers for delaying the indictment
of Senator Dietrich for several months is a fact,
but that he believes such delay merits dismissal,
or attributes the indictment TO political motives,
is untrue. 1t would appear moreover, that the
Attorney General believes the removal Of Sum-
rners might be misconstrued as discipline Of a
federal official who had procured the indictment
of a Senator, when Such was his pam duty.
District Attorney Summers arrived here to-
night having been summoned for consultation
with the Attorney General. Persons familiar
with the inside of the case against Senator Die
trich fear that he is deeply involved in an ugly
scandal.
Great interest attaches to the case of Mr.. Die
trich in the Senate, as his conviction On the
charge for which he is indicted would mean the
loss of his seat in the Senate, under United
States Statute 17S1. This is old statute. and
was enacted in the early COS. presumably as a
result of certain scandals in connection with the
contracts for army supplies. appointments, etc.

BRITAIN INTERESTED.
Inquiries Made as to Fate Of Colon
bian Bonds.

washington, Nov. 21.-The British government
Is showing an interest in the fate Of the bonds
issued bv Colombia and taken UP by foreigners,
mostly British and Dutch holders. Mr.. Ralkes,
the British Charge d'Afaires here, had half
hours talk to-day with Secretary Hay at the
state Department and IT is believed that this
srhject was discussed Baron Gevers. the Meth
erlande Minister here. also has talked with Sec
retary Hay in the last two days.
The position Of the department is. IN brief.
that il cannot dictate 10 the new Republic Of
Panama what disposition shall be made Of the
money which is to be paid over by the United
States fl consideration Of canal rights but it
certainly holds that il is only right and just that
Panzlna, In concluding a treaty II peace with
colornbts, shall make provision for the assurnp-
tion Of a fair share Of the national debt. So 1t
is expected that the moral force Of the Depart
rnent viii be ezerted in that direction.
The State Department has not yet been in
formed officially of the result of General Reyes's
mission to the isthmus. and indeed. it is said
that there have been nc advices from that quar-
ser for the last two days. Neither has Mr.
Reaupre been heard from, but there is no appre-
heneion on the sore OF his safety. It is be
lieved here that the principal purpose Of the
visit Of General Reyes is TO try to effect an ad-
iustnent OF his countrys troubles by securlhs
for the Colombian governments some snare OF Ihe
money which the United States under the new
treaty viii pay to Panama.
II was said positively at the State and Navy
departments to-day that there is no intention Of
reinforcing the naval force in isthmlan waters
beyond the original plan. and. so far from send

CUBAN BILL VOTE DEC. 16.
Special Session of Congress Likely
to End Before Thanksgiving.
LFRoM TIE TRIBUNE RuREAu.l

Washington. Nov 21.-The final vote on the
Cuban treaty enabling act will be taken on De-
Cember Is. and after the Senate convenes in
regular session on December no other subject
will be considered until the Cuban bill becomes
a law. An agreement TO this effect was reached
to-day between the managers of the bill and the
Democrats. In the estimation of the Senate
leaders this renders Cuban reciprocity an accom-
plished fact, much if the bill had been
passed and only required engrossng or some
other detail to make it technically perfect
Having effected such an agreement, the lead
ers do not regard it as of material Importance
whether adjournment is taken on November %
or December 5. or whether the intervening time
is expended in ostensibly listening to Demo-
cratic speeches. intended entirely for home con-
sumption, interspersed with protracted recesses.
While prominent Senators express willing
ness 10 defer entirely TO the wishes Of the
House in the matter of adjournment, there are
many evidences that diplomatic negotiations
looking to a respite from the continuous con-
vening and adjourning which have thus far
characterized this session are in progress, and
it is not unlikely that the Speaker will yield
gracefully and permit adjournment of the
special session in the near future In view of
the ability Of the Democratic side of the Senate
to Kill time the agreement on a date for the
vote is the occasion of relief and rejoicing.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
Cuban Reciprocity bill The motion to report
the bill favorabiy was not opposed by any mem
ber of the committee. and the decision was
reached in less than ffteer, minutes. No effort
was made to amend the bill, and it will ac-
cordingly, be reported TO the Senate next Mon
day just as II came from the House Of Repre-
sentatives The report viii be made by Senator
Cullom chairman OF the committee.
Action was also taken on the treaty for the
cession OF the Isle of Pines to Cuba, and It will
be favorably reported to the Senate at the next
executive session
The committee had under consideration the
treaty with Cuba embodying the Platt amend
ment and also the naturalization treaty with
Hayti, but did not take action either of them.
A legal question was raised in connection with
the Cuban treaty, and it was reffered to Sen
ator Spooner for investigation. The Haytian
agreement was referred to senator Lodge.
