The martial law followed an order to

due chiefly to the bringing in of ne

A cablegram to Pennsylvania
friends of Rev. B. w. Labaree, the
missionary recently murdered in Per-
STA, makes clear the following facts:
Mr.. Labaree was not travelling reck-
lessly on by-roads or at night. The
murder was a deliberate one, and the
motives for it seem to have been 9TH
er than simple robbery. Whatever
may have been the spirit or object of
the murderers, the people as a whole
sympathlze with the missionaries. If
the weak and inefficient government
of Persia can do anything to punish
the offenders, it will do SO. The health
of the other missionaries, especially
of Mrs. Labaree. is good.

Washington, Feb 13.-'"To Russia

tilities within as small an area as pos
BILE and of respecting the neutrality and
administrative entity of China, that
China may be free from disturbances

This the Associated Press is enabled
to give as the substance of the note
addressed by Secretary Hay on Febru-
ary 10th to the st. Petersburg and the
Toxic governments. On February Sth,
in a note to Germany. Great Britain
and France. Mr.. Hay invited those
powers concurrently to address Russia
and Japan with the same suggestion,
and on February 18th this invitation
was extended to Italy, Austria-Hun-
gary. The Netherlands, Denmark,
Spain and Belgium.
Germany was the first to respond,
with a prompt acceptance of the invita-
ton and the promise that she imme-
diately would address the two combat
ants. Great Britain was heard from
next, expressing adherence to the prin-
ciple laid down in the note. but with
holding formal acceptance pending an
answer to the inquiry whether the "ad-
ministrative entity" of China involved
Manchuria. Japan was heard from
quickly with the answer that she would
act readily on the suggestion of the
United States If similar promise
could be obtained from Russia.
Italy, Austria-Hungary and The
Netherlands expressed sympathy with
the idea and promised an answer after
consultation with other powers. There
is reason to believe that Spain and Bel
gium also will accept the invitation.
Russia thus far has been silent and the
attitude of France is one of hesitation.

During an executive session of the
Senate much time was devoted to gen.
eral discussion of the encroachments OF
the Senate and the President on each

with incidents where he alleged the
President had encroached on the Sen

appointments. aroused number Of the
Republican leaders to the defense OF
President Roosevelt.
Some of the Republican senators
agreed with Senator Teller that there
have been many encroachments from
the White House on the rights of the
Senate. The political phases of the de-
bate were finally eliminated with the
result that several administrations
were discussed and brought under the
ban of disapproval.
The first was the Cleveland admins
tration, in which it was said that the
President used undue influence
fo- the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act; Mr.. Nc
Kinley's influence on the members OF
the Senate for the ratification of the
Paris treaty; President Roosevelts
pressure in bringing about the ratifica-
tion of the Cuban treaty. and also the
influence he has brought to bear look
ing to the ratification of the Panama
canal treaty were cited as instances in
which the Senate has not been left free
to deal with these topics according TO
individual judgment.
The criticism was not alone Of the
executive, several senator's. including
Spooner, Allison, Teller, Dubois, Gall
niger and Platt, of Connecticut. agree
ing that the Senate often had insisted
on the appointment of certain men for
executive positions against the wish of

In possession of Port Arthur a week
from now.
In the best informed Japanese circles
here it is privately thought that the
war will be over by July.
Those British officials who are cog

ness with which Japan prepared for
the war are inclined to share the jap

the struggle.
In spite of the lack of news. it is
confidently held here that the Japan

a most important movement which will
