 til He Quits Politics.
 Washington, Jan. s.-At the request of Senators Teller and Daniel, the Senate Committee on Finance today postponed for one week action on the nomination of Postmaster General Cor teIyou to be Secretary of the Treasury. They did not announce whether they would continue their opposition to his confirmation, notwithstanding that he has resigned the Craftsmanship of the Republican Committee
 In making hls request that action on the Cortelyou nomination be postponed for a week, Senator Teller said that the Finance Committee had nothing but newspaper statements to show that the Postmaster General has resigned the management of the Republican National Committee. He thought that MT. Cor teIyou should communicate the fact that he had severed connection which if continued would make him ob1ec- tionabIe to many Senators for the post tion of Secretary Of the Treasury. Re- publican members assented to the sug gestion made by Senator Teller.
 It was said on the floor of the Sem ate today that a petition soon would he circulated among members of the RepubIican National Committee calling a committee to act on Mir. Cortelyous resignation as Chairman and to elect a successor. This plan is supported by opponents to the action of MT. Cortel- you in designating Vice-Chairman New of Indiana to serve as Chairman.

NEGRO SOLDIERS PLANNED
 TO KILL THEIR WHITE OFFICERS.

dier has been made at Ia Junta, Colo, today.
 Suspicion rests upon negro soldiers at Fort Niobrara. Neb., and at three other points. The arrests of these men had been postponed until the hearing in the case of Corporal Knowles was concluded today at Fort Reno. when it was hoped that some further inform> ation would be secured tending to in- criminate other persons in this alleged conspiracy.
 Following the hearing of Knowles. U. s. Marshal Madzen secured a war rant for the arrest of one of the witt nesses for the defense, charging per jury. The man was apprehended but his name could not be learned. Twen- ty witnesses testifying for the most part for the defense were examined at length. None of their stories coin cided.

 Knowles was bound over to await the action of the Canadian county grand jury at the opening term of court. All of the officers go heavily armed and protected throughout the night
 Every effort has been made by the officers at the post to keep the alleged conspiracy a secret, but it is learn ed that an investigation Is now being conducted at several army posts and important places throughout the coun- try, and within a short time several arrests O. the members of the troop re- gently discharged are expected to fol- low.
 Information was received here to- night that the arrest of Q negro sol-

 MT. Warren followed with amend ments to the same effect and stated there was opposition to the bill in his State. Mir. MacCumber saw little ne- cessity for the measure, especially in his State.
 MT. Bacon questioned MT. La Toilette as to whether the measure was to ap- ply to railways doing interstate com merce or only to trains doing inter- state commerce.
 The reply was that 1t applied to common carriers engaged in interstate commerce. This MT. Bacon asserted was g. tremendous stride in the direc- tion of the usurpation of federal con tro1 over the business affairs of the country.
 The bill was then laid aside for fu- ture consideration.

A man who has shot his way fou1

Many men have chosen many ways

campanari Not to Appear

The much heralded and discussed sea-
son of grand opera by the San Carlo
company is to begin this evening at the
Angelus Palm garden, Eighteenth and
Main streets, with Ponchiellfs La
Gioconda" with the cast given above.
headed by Nine. Lillian Nordica and
the Spanish tenor, Constantine.
Those who expect to attend this first
performance will do we'll to remember
that the curtain is to raise promptly at
40 o'clock (Which does not mean S:15),
but at exactly the hour mentioned.
This early opening has been made
necessary by the length of the opera
and desire to give it in its entirety,
ana II may be mentioned this includes
the complete presentation of the ballet.
The Dance of the Hours"
1t will be happy introduction for
Nine. Nordica for the role of the We
netlan singer is one the soprano is
very fond OF and her voice should show
10 excellent advantage in the dramatic
numbers that fall to her.
wednesday evening will be another

goer and music lover in Los Angeles,
Tor 1t Will be the first appearance here
or Miss Alice Nielsen with proper sur
roundings. AS Gildo in "Rigoletto,"
with its well known arias and in the
popular concert numbers she will be
ttSeiiu at neI DeSL and the role OF the
duke of Mantua affords Sig. Constan-
tino as good an opportunity to display
MS voice as anything in which he has
ever been heard.
Under the leadership of Sig. Arnolod
Cont an orchestra of fifty musicians
We're gathered together for the San
Carlo company and in every city thus
far 1t has won praise. The stage man
agement and ballet work has also been
pronounced f1rst-class. due to the ex-
perience and guidance of Sig. --lberteri,
so long at the Metropolitan opera
house.
One disappointment is in store here
the non-appearance of Campanari. He
left the company in Kansas City, going
back to New York. UP to a late hour
this morning the special train bearing
the singers had not arrived, though pro-
nounced due at any minute. Mile. Tar
quini did come in last night, and put
up at the Alexandria and the rest are
due before daylight.
There is a bare possibility that the
second week of opera will be given in
the Auditorium. This is only possi-
bility, however
The rain has initiated against per-
feet enjoyment in the Palm garden, as
the iron roof does not help to deaden
the sound of the pelting drops. But 1t
is promised that every effort to pro-
vide comfort and acoustic properties
will be taken and that the place will
surprise those who attend by its COM
pleteness. The sales are reported good.
