DENIES REPORT.
Cologne Paper Corrects Rumors Cabled . From New York.

Cologne Paper COrFecsS MuEa0r1 CaDte0
 . From New York.
 Cologne, Rheinish Prussia, Sept, 11.--- The Cologne Gazette. in an inspired despatch from Berlin corrects a re- port cabied to one of the Berlin news papers from New York, asserting that President Roosevelt had written to Baron Speck von Sternberg. the Ger man Ambassador at Washington. in forming him that the concessions off- cred the United States by Germany were insufficient to induce the United States government to make a commer- cial treaty with Germany, because the United States would be giving up more than it would receive.
 The paper denies that any such let ter has been written or that Germany has already made specific offers to the government at Washington.
 The German authorities, the des- patch goes on to say, are working assiduously upon the preliminary pre- parations for treaty negotiations. Data regarding the wishes of interested parties is being collected and several of the imperial Prussian ministries will soon begin work on this mater ial. The authorities will then decide definitely as to what position they will take in the forthcoming negotiations.

 Negotiations.
 Tokio, Sept. 11.-(6:30 p. m.)-The special session of the Privy Council to" day lasted for four hours. No bill was presented. only a report from the cab met ministers, Premier Katsura nak- ing an extended statement of the peace negotiations.
 According to the constitution. g treaty with other powers requires to be submitted to the council before rati- fcation. It Is unusual to hold a special setting for simply making report on diplomatic affairs before a treaty as- sumes a form ready for ratification and the sitting today without a special bill was rather unexpected.
 Opposition political parties have ap- pointed an extensive committee to ful- iy report on sufferings alleged to have been caused by the police during the recent riots. The Progressives and their local branches continue to press resolutions against the government. The Shiba branch condemns the gov ernment's assumption of the power to suspend newspapers, declaring the right to be wholly unconstitutional Quiet. however. prevails in Tokio.

 All the data possible was presented to the consulting board. In a few dayu possibly the consulting engineers wilk go to Panama to make personat tn~ vestigation of the conditions there and an examination of the canal zone in the light of the plans of the commission. 1t was the desire of President Roosp- welt to confer with the members of the consulting board before they went to the Isthmus. The President is anxious that the work on the great waterway, should be prosecuted vigorously ana with as little delay as possible. Tho consulting board arrived in Oyster Bay on the naval yacht Sylph which isfe New York at Il o'clock today. On board the vessel were the followin& members

 St. Petersburg. Sept. 11.--No orders have yet been given for the return to home ports of the informed warships In accordance with the terms of the peace treaty. The admiralty can do nothing until notified or the telegraph ic exchange of ratiications. When that occurs, the vessels in condition to hoist the homeward bound pennant will start for the Baltic or Vladivos- tok under their own steam and with their own crews, as the period of ii- ternment has been used to repair all the damage sustained in the battle Of August 10 and in the battle of the Sea of Japan.
 It is absolutely incorrect to say that any steps have yet been taken to- wards the execution of the new naval program, except the orders given for the construction of torpedo boats and for a 15,00O ton cruiser in England as already announced. The next big yes sel will probably be another l5,000 ton cruiser of the same type to be built on the Baltic.
