coincidence with Chicago on account of
the theater fire.
A memorial to Congress from the
Massachusetts Historical Society
praying for the restoration of the frig-
ate Constitution, was read and referred.
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi, the mi
ncrity leader, said he was glad that
the precedent had been established
permitting the reading in the open
House of memorials from a sovereign
state, saying that he attempted when
Mr.. Reed was Speaker to secure the
reading of a memorial from his state
without success. He added:
Il cannot fail to express gratifica-
ton at the fact that a New England
Republican Legislature and a New
England Republican representative
are willing to preserve a constitution
of some sort, even if preserved merely
as a relic, as a curiosity, to excite
the patriotism and Contemplated ad-
miration of the American people,"
(Laughter)
Mr.. PaySe called Mr.. Williams at
tention to the fact that the memorial
was from a society, and not a state,
when he replied that he hoped that
the same privilege would be accorded
a state as had been given a society.
Mr.. Payne announced that he would
oppose the reading of memorials in
open House.
The House adjourned until to-mor-
row

OVER A NEUTRAL ZONE
Russia and Japan VIII Split, il
Split They Do.

Paris, JAN 5.-It developed to-day
that the greatest difference between
Russia and Japan arises from the pro-
ncsal made by Russia that a neutral
zone shall be established. extending
from Ping Yang in Corea on the south
to the Russian frontier on the north.
The Russian government has ex-
pressed a willingness to recognize rhe
preponderating influence of Japan in
the remainder of Corea, and the two
powers are agreed respecting the prin-
ciple of the integrity of China and
of Corea.
Japan, however, saw no reason why
Inc proposed neutral zone should be
Established holding that the entire
peninsula should be subject to her pre-
ponderating influence.
The attitude of Russia is believed to
De due TO the fact that If Japan con-
uols Corea she will thereby be able to
more easily menace Port Arthur, as
well as Vladivostock

t,oh' expressed himself as confident

BECKHAM SCORES
YELLOW JOURNALS.
He Wants Men Who Fake" Sensa-
tiOnaI News Prosecuted.


Frankfort. KY. Jan. 5.-The message
of Gov J. w. c. Beckham was read
to the Legislature to-day. He recon-
mended that irresponsible ro-
mancers," who send, grossly exagger-
ated accounts of turmoil in Kentucky,
be made accountable to the law.
1T is not an exaggeration," he said,
Ito say that there was not day dur
ing the past year that human life was
not safer in Kentucky, even in
Breathitt county, than it is any night
upon the streets of Chicago or New
York, from the sanguinary columns Of
whose voracious journals the people
have been told day after day of the
awful condition of lawlessness and
crime in Kentcuky."
In commencing the work of the
Normal and Industrial Institution for
Colored People Ga state aided SCHOOL,
the Governor gives expression to his
views on the race problem in these
words
THE colored people of Kentucky
can solve the socalled race problem for
themselves, if they can reach the point
where their race prejudices cannot be
stirred up in every political contest,
and If they will not allow irresponsi-
BILE demagogues to teach them that
their white neighbors are their enc
mics. rather than their friends. The
negro has never had better friends
than the white people Of Kentucky
have been to them, for although they
pay an insignificant portion OF the
taxes, they have been permitted 10
share equally i'm the school funds with
the white children of the state"

Great ShrinISage.
New York, Jan. 5.-The dividend on
United States Steel common was
passed at the quarterly meeting of the
directors to-day, but the regular one

clared on the preferred stock. This

pected. At the previous quarterly
meeting the common dividend was cut
from a four to a two per cent. basis.

statement after the meeting that the
action of the directors was unanimous.
