positively that these statements were
secured by two agents of the Russian
government; but the Russian embassy
in. London Thursday night repeated
the denial communicated to the Associ-
ated Press on December 81, saying
that there is absolutely no truth in
the statement that the Russian gov
eminent OF anyone designated by Rus
STA has been endeavoring to secure
statements from the Gamecock fisher
men in support of Russla's position be-
fore the Paris Commission.
It was pointed out, however, that al
though Russia had offered a reward
for information. the Russian govern
ment was not responsible for course
taken by any person desiring to Sc
cure the reward, which would only
be paid in the event that the informa-
ton and the method in which II was
secured were approved by the Russian
government and shown to have been
received from irreproachable sources.

LEGISLATORS m
sPARRINc MATCH
Senate Wins In a maneuver Involving
Holiday Adjournment.

washington: The leaders OF the SEN
ate have had their way. SO have the
leaders of the House. Neither have
have their way. It is in the matter Of
adjournment.
Recently, when certain legislators
decided that It was time to decide upon
the time for the Christmas vacation
and its length, the Senate leaders said
that the 18th day of December was
about the time for adjournment, and
let some Of their journalistic friends
know Of their decision. But this was
without consulting Speaker Cannon,
who does not incline to the opinion
that the Senate should rule in every
thing. He suggested that when It
came time for adjournment the House
would have its say, for the adjourn
ment resolution must come from the
lower body. It being a joint resolu-
ton. Inc House leaders prepared a
resolution, which fixed adjournment
day at December 81. and sent It to the
Senate after the House had stamped
it with its approval
There were suggestions Of a revolt.
but wiser counsel prevailed, with the
understanding that the matter was en-
tirely too trivial to make a protracted
fight over, and the Senate could we'll
reserve its ammunition for something
more important. The Senate nodded
wisely, as though there was some
thing deep and significant behind it's
seeming compliance. What that some
thing was developed Monday, when the
Senate met with less than a score of
its members present, and without even
the President pro tempore to preside.
The senator from California welded
the gavel for the two minutes of the
constructive session, occupied with the
hearing of a message from the White
House, and with the receiving of the
announcement of presidential appoint
ments by Mr.. Barnes, assistant secre-
tary to the President. Then the Senate
solemly adjourned until Wednesday
and left the House undispted posses
sion of the great stone pile.
The House then decreed that the ses-
sion should not close until the middle
Of the week. and gave its time to the
handling of business of interest to the
District of Columbia, and to legislation
under the unanimous consent agree
ment.

TRANSFER FARRlS
AND SMITH CASES
Judge Graves Grants Change Of Venue
in Bribery Cases to Maries County.

Jefferson City, Mo-: Judge W. w.
Graves Monday granted change of
venue in the cases of State VS.. Sena-
tor Frank H. Farris of Crawford coun-
ty and State VS.. Senator c. A. Smith
of st. Louis. Both cases are trans
ferred to Maries County for trial.
The attorneys were unable to agree
upon the county to which the cases
should be sent, and Judge Graves
named Mares county.
There were no proceedings before
the court Monday. except the hearing
Of the argument for the change of
venue. The hearing occupied the en-.
tire day,
About forty witnesses were exam
ined, there being about twenty on each
side. The general trend Of the testi.
::oIy was TO the effect that the Far.
ris case had been'disousssd throughout
Cole county very generally, and that
no one had ever been heard to give his
opinion that Farris was innocent. while
many had stated their belief that he
was guilty.
Upon the showing the change of
venue was granted. it being the opin-
lon of the Judge that Farris could not
receive a fair and impartial trial in
this county.
Upon granting the change of venue
Judge Graves took the recognizance
of Senator Farris in open court, in the
sum Of $4,000, his sureties being Jesse
w. Henry and C. A. Fischer Of this
city. Senator Smiths bond was fixed
in the same amount with the same
sureties.
When the court had concluded the
Farris and Smith cases, Senator James
Orchard was called to the bar to an
swer the charge of contempt lodged
against him because OF his failure to
appear at the last time the Farris case
was called. when the case had to be
continued because of his absence.
Judge Graves called upon him for a
statement and upon Mr.. Orchard as.
surfing the court that no contempt was
meant he was excused. In his state
ment to the court he said that he was
not subpoened to appear at the last
term OF court

KAISER SENDS ULTlMATUM
, TO GREAT BRITAIN
War to Be the Price Of the Continued
Bitter Attacks.

Berlin: Sensational correspondence
has passed between the German and
British governments during the past
four weeks with reference to the
warlike and provocative attitude
adopted toward Germany by the semi
official British press, especially the
Army and Navy Gazette. The kaiser
took a vigorous hand in the negotia-
lions and made his personality felt in
a positive way. He instructed that the
British cabinet should be informed, in
effect, that II England wanted war 1t
could have 1t Immediately; II it was
not DESTROYS Of such an event, the talk
which Germany considered an affront
must stop.
Both Count Wolff-MetteTnich, Ger
man ambassador in London, and Sir
+. G. Lascelles, British ambassador
at Berlin, were called home by their
respective governments to discuss the
situation, which the correspondents
claim, reached most delicate point.
The publications which induced the
German government to assume its
strong attitude were a series Of ar
ticles in the Army and Navy Gazette,
eliminating in the declaration that the
kaiser's navy was so rapidly becoming
menace to Great Britain that war
would be better declared now in order
that the German fleet might be des-
trOyed before It should become still
q greater danger. Both Premier Bal
four and Lord Lansdowne have now
been told that Germany is impatient
OF this distrust Of its naval policy,
which It accuses the National Review.
the Army and Navy Gazette and other
papers of generating among the Brit
ish people. The fatherland wishes
the British to understand, once for all.
that II has not the slightest intention
of abandoning the developments of its
navy and its merchant marine at Brit
ish behest, no matter how much of a
DOGGY they constitute.

HELD IN COLOMBIAN
PRISON FOURTEEN YEARS
Letter Explains Silence Of American
Long Mourned As Dead.

Port Jarvis. n. Y: Like a message
from the dead was a letter received
by Mrs. S. l. Holley of Otisville, from
her son, F. C. Holley, whom she had
long mourned. Fifteen years ago he
entered the employ of the Ingersoll
drill company to sell their machines
in South America. A year later he
completed a $4,000 contract in the
city of Colombia and sent word he
was about to start for home. He
did not arrive and his family began
making inquiry. His employers could
learn nothing definitely about the
cause of his delay, and no word came
from him until the letter was received
Wednesday by his mother.
Mr.. Holley writes from Bucara-
manga, department of Santanda, re-
public of Colombia, saying that a rev.
olution broke out while he was filling
his contract there and on the eve OF
his departure he was arrested and
thrown into prison, where he had re-
manned in close confinement for four
teen years. He is so happy at his re-
lease that the long ana oTedTy lllCdI-
ceration seems a horrible nightmare,
and he does not discuss 1t in his letter.
He makes inquiry concerning his wife
and children and members of his fam
lily, and expresses his earnest desire
to return home. He left the prison
without money or decent clothing, he
writes. but not discouraged. He be-
gan work at his trade to earn money
for his return, which will be a sad
one. He had a coy home at Homo
wack, Ulster county, but his wife died,
mourning his supposed death, and two
Of his sons have been killed in acct
dents. His father. S. J. Holley, a vet
Gran Of the Mexican and civil wars
has also passed away.
