GUNB0AT WHEELING SAFE,
REACHES GUANTANAMO
Officers and Crew Wholly lgno-
rant of the Anxiety Felt for
the Past Few Days.

After the entire country had been STIR
red for three days by baseless rumor
that the American gunboat Wheeling had
been blown up at sea, the little vessel
with its human burden of 100 men yester-
day dropped anchor in the harbor of
Guantanamo, Cuba, perfectly safe and
her officers and crew totally ignorant of
the anxiety which her voyage from New
York to Cuban waters had caused.
Arrived Yesterday Morning.
The Wheeling reached Guantanamo at
IL o'clock yesterday morning and her ar
rival was reported in a wireless message
" before 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon
from Commander Hall of the Guantana-
mo station The officer merely report
ed the arrival Of the gnnbOat, which,
naval officials explain, means that the
ship reached port in normal condition, for
otherwise the fact would have been
specifically recorded

the origin Of the rumor that the gun
boat had met with disaster and naval
officers are very severe III their condem-
nation of the authorship of the ground

Of the vessel is critically i'll i'm this city,
and that every measure was adopted to
prevent any hint of the rumor reaching
her ears for fear of it having a disas-
trous effect.
While the rumor was discredited in
Washington officials of the Navy De-
partment. nevertheless, were extremely
anxious to hear from the gunboat i'll or
der to allay the fears TO which the re-
port had given rise. All of the wireless
naval stations along the route of the
Wheeling were instructed to send con-
slant inquiries seward III the hope of
getting into communication with the gun
boat. These eHorts, however, failed of
results, undoubtedly because the wireless
set of the Wheeling was not powerful
enough to reach from her patch at sea
to the shore stations.

OFFICIALS ARE HOPEFUL.
P. 0. Department Predicts Parcel:
Post Agreement With France.

As the result of long negotiation postal
authorities say they are hopeful that a
parcels post agreement will shortly be ar
ranged between the tn'sed States and
France whereby the limit of weight OF
parcels that are sent in the mails may be
increased from four pounds to eleven
pounds. the weight governing other coun-
tries. and the value OF a parcel from $50
TO $50.
The French government. 1t Is said. has
indicated a disposition to favorably con-
slider an extension of weight and villa
ton.
Conventions with Brazil and Haiti are
also likely soon TO be effected which will
remove the valuation restriction and make
the weight limit eleven pounds. The ne
So;iatioas with Brazil have been in prog
| ress since 1857. and the new convention
! has already been ratified by the Brazilian
congress.

so aroused the high school students of
Washington as the questions raised as
to the moral standing of the high

precipitated by three things: state

member of the Y. NJ. C.. A., that the
high schools in all parts of the coun-

taking of an automobile belonging to
Representative Foster by some high

BUDGET AND VETO BILL
WORRYING THE CABINET
Question of Estimates One
That Is Interesting Brit
iSh Statesmen,
Special Cablegram to The Star.

special CaDlegram 10 Inc STAR.
LONDON. January oS-The cabinet is
at present much concerned over the uues-
ton as to whether it shall in meeting
parliament take the bold step of appropri-
ating the entire time of the house for
estimates on the budget and the veto bill.
If it does, this may get the crisis over be-
fore the coronation. But private members
will protest vehemently against the con-
fscation of their privileges, and the la
Dor PARTY threatens a revolt unless it is
allowed time to discuss its pet measures.
The militant suffragettes are also on the
warpath but, notwithstanding all these
protests. Mr.. Asquith will be able. if he
has the requisite stiff upper lip, to force
the veto bin through.
1t may interest Americans to know
that, according to the leading British stu
dents of American politics the democratic
party Us regarded as most likely to carry
the next presidential election. DR.. Woodrow
Wilson is first favorite for the White
House on this side of the Atlantic. Mr..
Harmon is believed TO be his most for
midable opponent. while Champ Clark,
who to US is a rank outsider. lately has
been recognized as in the running.
Trouble Over Preamble.
There is trouble brewing over the pre-
amble to the veto bill The preamble
ought to be limited to the reasons for and
the interests of the act Of parliament to
which it is prefixed, but the preamble
is enlarged by the Introduction of foreign
matter, such as a declaration as to the
intentions Of the ministry with regard
to another bill not yet drafted, and a
statement as to what the bill ought to
contain. The demand is made by an in
fiuential section of the party that this
extraneous matter shall be struck out.
1t is unprecedented to include a program
in a preamble. and it will directly invite
attack and obstruction on the part of the
lords. who, IL the preamble is not made
to fit the BILL will have excellent excuse
for making the bill fit the preamble.

The postmaster at Anaconda, Mont,
