Monday closed the extraordinary ses-

regular session, but the transition was
so natural as to be scarcely notice
able. The unusual features were the
close of the called session by an
nouncement from the chair and the
offering of two prayers in the senate
within a half hour of each other. The
business transacted consisted of the
reading of the presidents message
and the beginning of the discussion
Of the Cuban reciprocity bill. Mr..
Cullom, who has charge of the Cuban
bill. made a speech, advocating it's
passage in the interest of American
trade.
The Panama canal treaty was sent

JOyOusness at Christmastide.

JoyOusness is the keynote of Christ
mastide. 1t is time for Faith to sing
her highest songs of praise. Some
times and in some countries the glad
some spirit of the season has degen-
Grated into boisterous mummeries out
of harmony with the character of a re-
ligious festival, but the great truth of
the incarnation of Jesus has ever been
beneath the various manifestations of
joy. AS the celebration Of Christ's ma
tivity it must always remain one of
the great festivals Of the Christian
year. This is a time for charita BILE
deeds, for smiling faces, merry greet
fngs and exchange of gifts, and it is
certainly fitting opportunity for US
to accentuate the truth that our re-
ligion is one Of hope and cheerfulness.

SENT TO GULF. OF DARlEN.
Commander of Cruiser Atlanta 4
Watch Developments. 81,


Watch Developments. r,r
. Washington, Dec S.-The dispatch
Of the cruiser Atlanta to, the Gulf Of
Darien is of; great Importance and in
terest in connection with the rQmor
from Colon Of the departure Of Co
lombian soldiers for the Isthmus of
Panama. This is about $50 miles
east of Colon and the cruise in these
waters will enable her commander to
keep In close touch with develop
ments In the Colombian situation
originating in and about the vicinity
Of Cartagena, from which place it is
rumored the soldiers are to march on
the Isthmus. Naval officials decline
to say whether the dispatch of the At
lanta to the Gulf of Darien is the re-
suit of any intimations of warlike
operations on the part of Colombia,
contenting themselves with express
ing the opinion that it will be impos-
sible for Colombian troops to march
overland to Colon or Panama because
of the impassability of the country to
be traversed. Nevertheless the de-
parture of the vessel is regarded as
significant as indicating the intention
of the officials of the United States to
be on the alert.
To the Colombians in Washington
the reports from Colon produced
mystifying effect. They will not say
whether they believe the rumors or
not. The Colombians believe there
are 5000 or more soldiers at Carriage
ma and at the various points along the
seacoast available for such a purpose
as that stated in the dispatch from
Colon should the government desire
to use them.

American Minister Holds Conference
With Emperor.


Seoul Korea, Dec. 7.-United States
Minister Allen had a long interview
with the emperor of Korea during the
day on the subject of the request of
the United States for the opening to
the commerce of the world of the
Korean port of Win, on the Yalu
river. No definite decision was ar
rived at.
The government has been placed in
a dilemma by the demand of the Unit
ed States.
Wiju was selected by the United
States as a prospective port instead Of
Yongampho because, lying forty miles
above the latter port, which is at the
mouth Of the Yalu river, the country
within that limit will likewise be open
to traffic and neutralized, a substan-
tial gain in the extent of the market
afforded.
