New York, Jan. 12-The revival of

THE TRIAL OF MACHEN
The Government Gets an Advantage

Washington, Jan. 13.-The trial of
August w. Machen, the Croft brothers
and DR.. and Mrs. George E. LOrenz for
completely in the postal frauds, began
in earnest today. At the outset the
government scored two points when
Justice Pritchard refused to make a
rule requiring the district attorney 20
select a specific count of indictment
under which the defendants would be
tried and also when he permitted GER
tain postoffice inspectors to remain in
court after other witnesses had been
required to retire.
Six witnesses were examined, all of
them in the employ of the postoffice
department. Except in the case of
Witness Hawley, chief clerk in the Of
flee of the first assistant postmaster
general, the testimony was devoid of
any feature. Hawley, who had not
concluded when court adjourned for
the day, was rigidly cross-eXamined
by Mr.. Kumler, counsel for the Lo-
renZes.
He admitted that frequently it hap
pened that Machen's signature and ini-
tials were placed on letters, orders and
acquisitions by his subOrdinates and
that this practice had resulted in an
order to all division chiefs prohibiting
their delegating their authority to 9TH

Washington. Jan. 12.-Tha house to-
day for more than hve hours consid-
cred the legislative, executive and

no conclusions on il.
Topics including Panama and the

of the debate. Mr.. Adams Crep. of Pa.)
in referring to a dinner recently given
in New York city at which Mr.. Olney

Germany Thinks There Will
BE No Eastern War
1T is FEARED ELSEWHERE
The Question However Will Be
Shortly Settled-Japan Is Now En-
gagged in Consideration of Latest
Reply From Russia.

Berlin, Jan. 12.-The German foreign
office holds to the opinion that war
in the east is highly improbable. Be
yOnd this official statements do not
go. The unofficial opinion, especially
that of the newspapers. regard the
statements telegraphed of the far east :
extreme tension as part of the great
diplomatic game to make Russia be-
lieve that more concessions must be
made or Japan will attack.
German newspapers have no special
correspondents in the far east and rely
for news. either on outside agencies Or
on official sources here.
Since the official sources consistent
ly aver that war is wholly out of the
question not a single newspaper in
Germany. so far as the correspondent
has seen regards war as likely.
The German foreign office is wellin-
formed, especially from the Russian
side. and it may be inferred that the
positive official optimism here is de-
rived from the knowledge that Russia
will not permit war to break out.

That the Panama Revolution
is an Accomplished Fact
THE SENATE is AGREED
This Came Out in a Motion by Pr.
Bacon for Arbitration of Colombia S
Ciains-AntagOnism to Civil Ser
vice Breaks Out Again.

Washington, Jan. 12.-For almost
five hours today the senate debated
the Panama question and it was still
under consideration when the senate
adjourned. The discussion arose over
a resolution looking to the arbitration
of Colombia's claim on account of the
Panama revolution. 1t was introduced
early in the day by Mr.. Bacon and was
met promptly by a motion on the part
of Mr.. Lodge to table it.
This motion aroused the feeling of
'the senators on the democratic side.
who construed the motion as intended
to cut off debate and said they would
debate the Panama question on some
other resolution if not on this. Final
" Senator Lodge consented to with
draw his motion.
The republican senators in their
speeches referred to the resolution as
a confession OF wrong doing on The
part OF the United States and ex-
pressed an opinion that any agitation
of the question at this time would Civ.
undue encouragement to the people of
Colombia and would misrepresent the
attitude of this country.
Mr.. Bacon Gisavowed any such in
tertion and said that he accepted the
revolution as an accomplished fact. a
ready response to this pronouncemenr
came from Nj. Hale and during the
course of debate, he and Mr.. Bacon
practically agreed on a declaration.
which Mr.. Hale intimated that ne
would offer tomorrow in tne senate.
Other republican senators indicated
an unwillingness to accept any meas
ure looking TO interference with
executive negotiations while the dem
ocratiL senators also intimated objec-
tiOns on other grounds.
The speakers of the day were Sena-
tors Bacon. Spooner, Teller, Carmacb,

ST. LOUIS WON
Place of Holding Demo-
cratic National Convention
SCARED FROM CHICAGO
By Fear Of Influence Of Newspapers,
Presumably Mr.. Hearst'S-hr.B Bryan
Appeared and Refused to Talk Of
Panama and "AnOther Question"

Washington, Jan. 12.-The demo-
cratic committee today furnished a
surprise, selecting St. Louis as the
place for holding the national conven-
ton of 1904. The date for the con-
vention is Wednesday. July 6, at II
O'Clock. Previous to the meeting it
seemed foregone conclusion that
Chicago would secure the convention
but political exigencies entered into
the situation and a majority of the
committee voted for St. Louis.
For some hours previous to the
meeting of the committee there was
talk in the corridors ana among the
democratic leaders that the convention
in Chicago might be subject to the in
fluence of a strong movement, and
a strong newspaper influence in favor
of some particular candidate. Mr..
Knapp of the ST. Louis Republic hint
ed at this In his speech by saying that
the convention if held at St. Louis
would be welcomed by an absolutely
fair pdess. At the committee meeting a
considerable discussion of politics and
the claims of various candidates We're
advocated by their partisans but Moth
iEg like favorinS any candidate ap-
peared in the committee proceedings.
William j. Bryan, when the commit
tee had concluded its labovs, appeared
but his visit was without any apparent
political significance. He did not come
TO the hotel until after the committee
had nearly concluded its business. He
was warmly greeted by the members
of the committee and he invited 4
number of them to call on him at his
hotel and hold a conference with
Chairman Jones at Shoreham.
Asked what he thought of the Pana-
ma situation, Mr.. Bryan said that he
moved with deliberation, and events
occurred too rapidly in some quarters
for him to keep pace with them. In
answer +ohnotber question. he replied
that it WIS yet too early to outline for
the coming campaign. Mr.. Bryan to-
night took a train for the west, leav-
