Request For American on Court.
CHADWICK IS SUGGESTED
Understood Hero of Manila
 Will Satisfy.
Cassini and Durand Called to Present ReQuest on Behalf of Their Governments-Presid Makes
 No Announcement.

washingto Nov. 28-Count Cassini the Russian Ambassador. and Sir Nor timer Durand, the British Ambassador called separately at the State Depart ment today to present on behalf of their respective Governments a request Tor the United States to appoint hign naval ranking officer as a member oi the court of inquiry, which will inves- tigate the facts in the Dogger Bank in cident.
 It is understood that the term "off- cer of high rank" used in agreement between Russia and Great Britain means any otticer having flag rank
 Under this interpretation, 1t would be possible for the President to appoint & rear admiral It can be announced on the highest authority that the ap' pointment of Admiral Dewey will ot heartily welcomed in either Russia or Great Britain, especially in the latte: country.
 The fact that Rear Admiral Frencn E. Chadwick is soon to go to London or account of his wife's i'll health had led to the belief in naval circles that he might be selected for this mission. The President, however. will make the se' lection and as far as can be learned he has not intimated his attitude II the matter.

CHANDLER ON TARIFF
FORMER NEW LANCASHIRE sENA-
 TOR FOR REVISION.
Says Stand Patters are Foolish For COntendin9 That Duties Should Not Be, Reyised-Fav-
 ors April Session.

Washington. Nov. 2S.-tSpecial. )-- Former Senator William c. Chandler. who used to be a stalwart protectionist who in the Senate often stood forth stoutly against the embattled revenue only tariff sentiment today expressed himself quite positively for revision. The fact that he is a particularly par tiaI admirer of President Roosevelt lends interest to the views of the for mer New Hampshire Senator who is now at the head of the Spanish Claims Commission.
 He said No item in the tariff Is sacred. The tendency of the leaders in Congress for the last few years to say that no line of our tariff legisla- ton should be touched is wholly fool ish and the quicker we get away as a party from that point of view. the better. Whenever men go before Con- gress to urge a change in the tariff, either the rising or the lowering of a duty I care not which. they should be heard respectfully and should they sustain their point. the change should be made.
 Tt Is ridiculous to present stone wall of obstruction against all pro- posed modification of the revenue laws such as we have been doing in recent years.
 ndi tHt IdTln diWdyS De subject to revision. is my point one: point two is that any pure proclama- tion of the Republican party that a general revision of the tariff wasnot re- quired or ought to be conceded. would be very foolish. there has been dem onstra tion that it is necessary, or that the people want it."
 Then you will oppose an extra session in the spring. called especial ly to consider this subject?"
 Called especially for tariff revision. yes. But called for general business. of which tariff changes should be a part. no. This Is T big country and Congress ought always to be called in session in April rather than wait until December before the nominating con- ventions of the next .Congressional contest before organizing the House wish an April session were the reg ular thing and to help the custom along I should like to see one called next year"

President Demosthenes Sam and Twelve Others Charged with Is- suance of Fraudulent Papers Twenty Defendants Have
 skipped.

Port au Prince. Nov. 2S.-The open ing day of the trial of the alleged fraudulent bond case passed without incident. Of the thirty-three persons accused, among whom are former President Sam, his Minister and high officials of the National Bank of Hayti. thirteen were present, the others hav- ing fled.

 History of Case.
 The trial grows out Of an act of the Haytien Congress in 1902, authorizing the consolidation of the national debt 900, ,0O0 and an additional $2l3,2S2 to be paid the bank for financing the deal. Before the transaction was completed. the government of President Alexis Nord came into power. when the off, cials of the bank were thrown into prison on November 3, 1903, on the charge of conspiring with Secre- tary of the Treasury Feine, in fraudu- lently issuing from s2OO,O0O to $s5O, 900 in bonds, and of alleged bribery.
 This alleged over-issue of bonds, it appears from the papers in the case. was received and appropriated by the bankers, which the Nord government charges was unauthorized in the budget. Among the persons accused are J. De la Myre Mory. c. Chirsch. R. Tippenhauser and Jean Batiste de Puy Baudet, the first and last named being Frenchmen and one or both of the others German. These were in the order named. President, Vice-Presi- dent, Chief of Portfolio and Teller of the National Bank of Hayti. They were among the most prominent and wealthy residents of Port au Prince. Others of the accused are Secretary Brutus St. Victor, Vilburn Guillame. Hebard Roy, Lycurgus and Demosthe- nes Sam. of the Sam cabinet and g. former native President of the Senate named Stewart. It Is alleged that in prison the accused were subjected to the greatest hardships and exposed to indignities and sanitary dangers.

ADAMS NOT ANXIOUS.
Believes That Peabody Will Grace
 fully Retire.


 fully Retire.
 Denver. Colo, Nov. Ex-Governor elect Ava Adams came to Denver from his home in Pueblo today and will re- main until after the banquet to be given in his honor tomorrow night. He does not take the threat of the Re- publicans to prevent his accession to the Governorship seriously.
 MT. Adams expressed the opinion to- day that Governor Peabody after an investigation of the election returns would reach the conclusion that he was not the peoples choice for Governor and would gracefully retire. It is an- nounced that Governor Peabody will point the two additional justices of the Supreme Court irrespective of whether he holds office the next term or not
 Under the constitutional amendment adopted at the recent election the court of appeals and the supreme court con- solidate on April next and two of the judges provided for are to be named by the Governor. The legislature will meet one week before the next term of Governor begins. During that time or prior the State canvassing board will declare the amendment adopted. Gov ernor Peabody will make the appoint ment and the Senate. if Republican, will confirm them. Should the Democrats control the Senate Governor Peabody's appointments will be rejected and Gov ernor Adams will appoint the two judges.
 The canvass of the votes in Denver and Pueblo Counties has not yet been completed, but from the unofficial re- turns 1t appears that the Democrats will control the Senate by a majority of two or three unless the Senate can- wasting board throws out two or more of the Democrats who are apparently elected. as planned by the Republicans who are preparing charges of fraud. to seat the Republican candidates.

TWO ATTEMPTS MADE.
Gang of Train Robbers Operating iH
 Colorado.

Salida, Col. Nov. 2S.-It has devel- oped that attempts were made to hold up two west t=bound Denver and Rio Grande passenger trains instead of one at Gordon Siding Saturday night. Only the attempt on No. 1. known as the Denver and ogden express, was report ed to Superintendent Lukes at Salida This was the second and principal as- sault by the train robbers.
 The first attempt was made on sec ond section of No. 5. known as the California Limited. This was not re- ported to headquarters Saturday night as the train crew thought the shots fired into the cab came from guns in the hands of persons who wished to be revenged on the railroad for either 9 fancied or real cause.
 Some Of the trainmen still cling to this theory but others hold that a gang of train robbers is operating in Chafee County. Of the two shots fired at No. 5. one plowed through the cap of Fireman Arthur and tore away q tuft of hair

UPHELD TEXAS LAW.
Contention ns to Unlicensed Pilots
 Turned Down.


 Washington, Nov. 2S.-An opinion in the State pilot law case of Otto Olsen against A. D. Smith and others was rendered in the Supreme Court of the United States today by Justice White
 Smith is a pilot of Galveston. Tex. licensed under the State law and he brought suit in the Texas courts to recover damages alleged to have been caused by the action of Olsen. who is unlicensed. in offering his services to vesselssas pilot in and out of the har- bor of Galveston. The points involved in the case are the following:
 Whether the State had power to en- act laws regulating pilotage in the ports of that State. and whether, if that power existed, the State laws are void because they conflict with acts of Con- gress and the Constitution of the United States forbidding combinations in restraint of trade. The court up- held the State pilotage law as con- strued by the Court of Civil Appeals for the Fourth Supreme Judicial Dis trict of Texas. On the constitutional point, Justice White said:
 The contention that because the commissioned pilots have a monopoly of the business and by combining among themselves exclude all others from rendering pilotage services, the law is unconstitutional, is but a denial of the authority of the State to regu- late. The contention that no monop- oly or combination In legal sense can arrive save from the fact that the duly authorized agents of the State are alone allowed to perform the duties de- volv'ng upon them by law considered in its ultimate aspect. amount simply to the contention not that the Texas laws are void for want of power, but that they are unwise. If an analysis of the laws justified this conclusion, the remedy is in Congress and cannot be judicially afforded by denying the power of the State to exercise its au- thority over subject concerning which 1t has plenary power until Cont gress has seen fit to act In the prem ises

 The Governor wired back a reply containing the following:
 Tt is of course gratifying to the people of Mississippi to know that they have done one thing that the President of the United States approves. Doubt less the Presidents admiration of the Mississippi building is due to his adml- ration of Jefferson Davis, of whose last home 1t is a replica"

Enxnrement Insixnificant.

Mukden, Nov. 2S.-There seems to be undue importance attached to the three days fight between the Japanese and General Reanenkampff's men. It was in reality an unimportant advance guard affair in which the Japanese were repulsed with a loss of 100 men. This advance of the Japanese against Da Pass need not be considered as a big hanking movement toward Tie Pass, which so many imagine Is the route the Japanese intend to take. Both the Japanese armies are united near Mykden and as heretofore are simply awaiting developments.

LAPS ON OFFENSIVE.
Cannot Allow Russians Time to Rein-
 force.

St. Petersburg. Nov. 2S.-General ku- ropatkin reports that there have been actual skirmishes on the left flank for three days. The opinion is now ex- pressed by the general stan that the Japanese intend taking the onensiVe as thev cannot afford to wait until the Russians are further reinforced.
 It is held that the fighting to the eastward Is doubtless with the purpose of feeling out the Russian positions preparatory to an advance in that d. rection, but as there are 1000 Russian troops southwest of Sintsintin, where fighting occurred on November 2s. and probably twice as many more Tn the mountains between Pentsiaputze and Sintsintsin, any Japanese move from this quarter would entail serious fight ing. At the same time correspondents at the front continue to scout the idea of serious fighing being imminent.

Snow Stopped Fight.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 2S.-General Sakharoff today telegraphed as fol- lows:
 The Japanese attack on Tsinketchen was checked by our artillery fire and the fighting ceased at o'clock in the evening of November 21. At no point did the enemy advance nearer than within 500 paces of our position. In the midst of the battle a binding snow storm caused a suspension of hostilities and when the weather cleared at o'clock in the afternoon a turning movement against our right flank was observed.

Press Condemn. MessaRe.

Jackson. Miss. Nov. 2s.-Both the daily papers of Jackson, which are Democratic. condemn the telegram of Governor Vardaman. The News says
 The people of Mississippi expect more of their Governor than dis play of small petty hatred. They ex- pect him to be a broad minded man who. in every relation of life. will meet courtesy by courtesy"
 The Clarion Ledger says: Governor vardaman has made the mistake of mixing politics. sectional feeling and personal dislikes with State. national and business affairs when he makes a sarcastic reply that will be quoted from Maine to California; from New Orleans to Kalamazoo. to the injury and dis. credit of the great State of Missis- sippi.'
 Tonight large number of telegrams from prominent citizens of Jackson were sent to President Francis of the Worlds Fair expressing their hearty disapproval of the language and the spirit of the Vardaman telegram, and thanking President Roosevelt for his kind expressions.
