WAR UNEXPECTED.
A Dispatch to Reuters From Port
 A-thmr SsYs.


 Arthur Says.
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 3.-The convic ton prevailing that there will be no war. which is not desired. although there is "undeniabIc evidence that secret enemy is systematically en- deavoring to hurry Japan into hostili ties" The correspondent says:
 If there is war, the opinion prevails at Port Arthur. that the United States. which for years has been preparing to monopolize the trade of the far east will be the gainer. The Japanese will be food for powder Over their pros sTate bodies America will get a fQCt- hold on the Asiatic continent and eventually her millionaries will get the Chinese viceroys under their thumbs and American machinery will convert Asia into a factory, which will swamp the west with products of Chi nese cheap labor. exclude Europe from the Pacific and leave her a prey to the EamDire socialism

THE NAVY IN MOURNING
The Flag on the Department at KaIf
 Mast for William C. Whitney

Washington. Feb 3.-News of the death of William C. Whitney caused a painful impression here, especially among the naval officers who served under his administration. The naval officials held him in high esteem. be- auze of their belief that to MT. Whit reY was owing in a great measure the present magnificent naval establish ment. He IS regarded by these off cers as the father of the American mod Crn navy. Flags over the navy de- partment and annex were placed at half mast and ordered to remain so until af- ter the funeral.

Kentucky and Indiana Mix
 on the GOebeI Murder
A HOT HOUSE SESSION
The Debate Grew Out of the Consid- eration of the Diplomatic Appropri- alton Bill Which Suggested the Sub- ject of international Treaties.

Washington. Feb. 3.-Indiana and Kentucky locked horns in the house to- day. The debate, which involved near ly every member of both state delega- ti0ns. was fast from start to finish.
 Kentucky demanded of Indiana the return Of W~S. Taylor. that he might he tried for the assassination of Will liam Goebel. The attack was made by MT. James. of Kentucky. and. the de- fense was led by Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana. Partisan feeling rose 70 an extreme tension. The diplomatic aP- propriation bill was under considerl- ton at the time.
 Mir. James fired 10th sides of the house to interest and feeling by de- ciaring at the outset that the Rough Rider" president was ridiculous in his message to congress favoring interna tional extradition treaties. when one state could not get from another fugitive from justice. He had, he said, introduced a bill in which the federal government made extradition comPul- sorry where persons had been indicted for crime. For four years. he sail, Governor Durbin of Indiana, had pro tected Taylor. who has beer regularly
 indicted in Kentucky for the murder of Governor Goebel, and yet I notice that when Gov. Durbin comes to town said
 Mir James. ne is wined and dined by
 this great Don QuiXote on eXtraditiCn, who absolutely confdes the right to give the waiting and anxious world the news that Hanna can run for president if he wants to. And when we all read that, we again declare the king can do no wrong"
 The remarks met with Kentucky ap-
 plause but stirred the opposition 10 ac
 ton and for something like two hours. many members were on their feet at a
 time and the criminal and political records of Kentucky and Indiana were handled without gloves. The demo-
 crats maintained that a state govern ment has no right to take the ques- tioE of flair triaT' into consideration in honoring extradition papers iron. another state, while the republicans maintained that history would justify Indianas S action in this case. When the speaker took the floor in defense of Indiana he was beset by a volley of questions from the democratic side and was hardly able to maintain the thread of his argument on account Of inter- ruDtlOnS.
 The tension was Iessened and better nature restored by the interposition Of | a speech on the reorganization of the consular service by MT. Adams of l Pennsylvania. The storm afterward broke out again under the lead of Stanley of Kentucky only to be again quellcd by long speech against
 Canadian reciprocity by Nolsted oi | Minnesota.
 l The session was concluded at 50, o'clock by a ten minutes appeal by Mir ! Harrison of New York for equal treat
 ment of American, citizens abroad, ana espe ecially for American Hebrews 1T Russia.

Cabinet Secretly Agrees on Person for

Washington, February 5-The cabinet
meeting today was of short duration.
No news had been communicated to the
President from the state department on
the far eastern situation, and this SUBJ
ject was not discussed at the meet
ing.
Much of the time of the meeting was
consumed in the selection of a commits
sioner to fill the vacancy on the Phil
ippine commission caused by the resig-
nation of Governor Taft, and the promo
tons of Messrs. Wright and Ide 1t was
stated that the choice had been made
of a person in the United States, but

ceptance is received

a reform in the matter of distribution of
seeds by the government. He eontended
that the present system was bad.
Mr.. Sheppard's first move was to have
struck from the agricultural appropria-
ton bill certain sections providing the
machinery for the distribution of the
seeds authorized to be purchased under
the bill. In this he was successful his
point of order being sustained by the
chair, but by an overwhelming vote the
house promptly added the sections to the
bill by way of amendments. Only three
members voted in opposition to the restor-
alton.
Mr.. sheppards further effort was to Sc
cure an amendment to the restored Sec
lions which would provide for the pur-
chase of rare and untried seeds, but de-
spite his earnest appeal for this amend
ment it failed. and the bill was left just
as the committee brought 1t into the
house. so far as seeds for free distribu-
ton were concerned.
Bill Passed Without Division.
This was the only item in the bill that
aroused serious discussion. and with few
minor amendments it was passed by the
house without division.
Mr.. Lucking of Michigan, calling at
tention to the manufacture and distribu-
ton of black-leg vaccine by the agr:-
cultural department, said ne would offer
an amendment restricting the number OF
doses that may be given away by the
he.
amount now given away is detrimental to
private enterprise.
Mr.. Chandler of Mississippi, defended
the system of seed distribution.
Mr. Sheppard contributed to the mer-
riment of the house in colloquy with
Mr. Chandler by saying that the latter
had received request from a man for
hat for himself and his wife.
Mr. Sheppard said when he first came
to congress. he thought the principal oc-
cupation of new member was to send
seed to his constituents.
To Restrict Vaccine Virus.
Mr. LucIing made an unsuccessful eff
fort to secure an amendment to the
bill so as to restrict directly the distri-
button of black-leg vaccine by the agri-
cultural department..
Alter MT oneppHdfu attempt W eufn-
mate the Objectionable paragraph reat-
ing to seed distribution had been circum-
vented by re-incorporating an amend
ment to the BILL Mr.. Lynd of Mime
sofa, criticized the present seed system
He read from an official report to show
that $4,000 expended in the distribution
OF seeds something like 100000 went to
defray the expenditures Of the distribu-
ton. leaving the remainder for the pur-
chase Of seeds
The agricultural appropriation bill was
then passed. and at 5:I5 p. m. the house
adjour}ed until Monday.

the resolution ordering the postmaster

The resolution was adopted without de-

residents of other insular possessions of
the United States was passed, and the
favorable action of the senate on it was

senate in favor of better buildings for
the departments of state, justice and
commerce and labor. The bill making
an appropriation for these departments
was called up but on objection went over.
The senate then returned to the consid-
GRAFTON of the isthmian canal question,
taking up the Bacon resolution providing
for the friendly adjustment of the diff
ferences between the United States and
Colombia, growing out of the secession
of Panama.
Mr.. Mallory reviewed the events leading
up to the negotiation Of the treaty de-
claring that Colombia had not acted in
good faith in connection with the Hay
Herran treaty. He accepted as final and
conclusive the Presidents denial of the
charge of completely in the secession of
Panama, and took issue with those who
criticized the President for not turning
to Nicaragua after the failure of the ne
gotiations with Colombia. He failed, he
said. to find justification for the plea
that there had been a violation of in
ternational law in recognizing the inde-
pendence of Panama, although he consid-
cred that there had been precipitancy in
that act.
Just Provocation for War.
The recognition given by the United
States under the circumstances, he
thought, was just provocation for war
by Colombia against the United States,
and said the orders issued by the United
States to our naval commanders in 18TH
milan waters were unjustifiable under the
circumstances. Mr.. Mallory denounced the
action of the executive in preventing the
landing of Colombian troops as "a gross
violation of the law of nations" But not
withstanding these objections he said he
intended TO vote for the treaty.
Mr. Hepburn of Idaho said he did not
feel called on to apologize for The course
of the administration in the matter OF
Panama, because he felt everything that
had been done had been within the scope
OF wisdom and good policy. Incidentally
Mr.. Hepburn took occasion to make a
brief argument in support of his resolu-
ton for the acquisition of San Domingo.
which, he said. is right at our door, and
which If 1t were ours. would enable us
to protect not only the canal but Porto
Rico as well.
The senate at 4:15 p. m. went into execu-
tive session. adjourning at 4:35 until Mon
day.

The local Salvation Army corps is now
making preparations for the visit of the
commander.
Capt and Mrs. Breitenbaeh, who were
recently sent to Birmingham to relieve
Capt. and Mrs. Pulen, transferred to
Tampa, Fla, are hard at work in the
local Salvation Army work
Captain Breitenbach stated last night
that he as considering several improve
ments to be made to the Mems Shelter
on Second avenue, between Twenty first
and Twenty-second streets. lac says the
Shelter is entirely too crowded and that
more room will probably be secured inn
mediatey. Captain Breitenoach stated
that the Salvation Army would probably
soon establish in Birmingham a wood
yard, where men without employment can
earn a living by cutting wood This wood
will be sold to the people of Birmingham.
Salvation Army Store.
Capt Bretenbach also has under con-
sideration the advisabiity of opening here
Salvation Army store. AT this store
clothing will be sold to the poor peo-
pie at a few cents per garment. He says
that many poor people had much rather
pay a few cents for old clothing and
shoes than to have these necessities fur
nished them free of charge.
At recent meeting of the officers of
the Salvation Army in the south held IT.
Atlanta, the matter of establishing in
some southern city Refuge Home for fall
len women was discussed. The local army
officers think there is good chance to
secure this home for Birmingham.
The nearest home of the kind is located
! in ST. Louis.
