SENATE REJECTS
BLAND NOMINATION
Plea to Abandon Attitude Of
Hostility to White House
Without Effect on Vote.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Turning a deaf
car TO the pleas Of Democratic leaders
for harmony with the White House in
the matter Of patronage the Senate
tonight rejected the nomination Of Ew-
ing c. Bland to be United States mar
shall for the Western District Of MIS-
souri,. The vote was taken without
rollcall, and the decision was appar-
emily unanimous.
Senator Reed took the most agrees
siye stand against Bland. although the
objection TO the appointment came for
the most part from Senator Stone, who
regards him as a political enemy OF
long standing. At the time that the
appointment was made the President
wrote 10 Senator Stone expressing the
hone chat he would understand"
None the less, Senator Stone, with
Senators Williams and Thomas, took the
initiative in flying the flag of truce and
urging the Democrats 70 abandon their
attitude of hostility toward the White
House. The split between the two
branches of the government controlled
by the Democrats would eventually,
thew said. result IN disaster.

MORGAN WILL QUESTIONED
Action Over Word Ministry"
in Legacy to St. Georges.

Justice Cohalan reserved decision
yesterday on the action of the trustees
and vestrymen Of st. Georges Church
for a construction of that part of the
will Of j. Pierpont Morgan in which he
left the income from a trust fund Of
100000 to the ministry" Of that
church.
One word, ministry" is the cause Of
the proceeding, as there is some uncer-
tainty whether the financier meant that
this income, amounting to $4,000 a
year. should go to the church as an in
stitution or to the Rev. Carl Reiland
and his four assistants, constituting
the ministry" The clergymen believe
that Mr.. Morgan intended that the
money should go to the church, so that
the action is of thoroughly friendly
nature.
William Foulke, treasurer Of St.
Georges Church, testified that Mr.. Nor
gan was too familiar with the needs Of
st. Georges to leave the income on
such large amount to the clergy alone.
John Reuchert, secretary of the board
of trustees, also was certain that Mr..
Morgan meant the church when he said
the ministry" as he always spoke Of
the church as the ministry"

BRITISH SEIZE
AMERICAN ship
Take Steamer Denver at
Sea and Detain Her in
Scotland Port.
[From Tho Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Jan. 6.-The agent of
the Mallory Steamship Company called
at the State Department to-day to adj
wise Solicitor Cone Z. Johnson that the
steamer Denver, Of that line, which
sailed from Norfolk, Va, on December
3, for Bremen with cotton, had been
seized on the high seas by a British
cruiser and detained at Kirkwsll, Scot
land. She carried a certificate from
the British Consul at Norfolk with re-
gard to the character of her cargo.
The Mallory Line officials were
greatly disturbed by the British &C
ton, in view of the announcement yes
terday by the Treasury Department,
approved by Secretary of State Bryan
and Secretary OF Commerce Redfield, OF
a new policy. 1t was pointed out at
the State Department that the certiti-
cation was an altogether pro forma act
of the British Consul at Norfolk and
it was unlikely that the officers Of the
cruiser had been apprised OF the recent
action of his government
Nevertheless. the Denver has been
detained and the matter is now before
the State Department, although IL has
not yet Deen Cdileu 10 StCIeLIIy DRY -
ans attention. The Mallory Line agent
stated that since the sailing of the
Denver other vessels of his line had
also left for Bremen with loads of cot
ton, but latterly, after the cotton had
been loaded in the holds, the British
Consul had placed seals on the matches
bearing his signature for the attention
of the British naval authorities.
The City Of Macon, with $500 bales
Of cotton, recently left New YORK for
Bremen with sealed matches. The City
of Memphis, now loading at a Gulf
port for Bremen, and the City of Sa-
vannah, for Rotterdam, both with cot
ton only, will all with matches sealed.
Secretary Bryan was unable to en-
tighten callers this afternoon as to the
probable result of this novel sort of
guarantee of the innocuous character
of cargoes destined for German ports.
As in all previous instances when the
question of seizure has been brought
to his attention, the Secretary insisted
that he was not prepared to discuss the
question at present.

BRITISH ANSWER
TO NOTE DRAFTED
fBy Gable to The Thbune.I

London. Jan. 6.-The British response
TO the American note has been drafted
and will be considered by the Cabinet
tomorrow and presented 20 Washing
ton before the end of the week.
There will, in reality, be two notes.
The first will deal with the general sit
uation, replying 10 the American rep
reservations in generalities, and broad
ly outlining the British position, as
we'll as expressing Grea. Britain's
friendly feelings and her appreciation
of the friendly spirit of the American
note. This will be followed by a fur
Their note, taking up the problem in
greater detail and probably making
suggestions for its solution.
Washington's latest regulation con-
corning the inspection of cargoes has
been we'll received in official circles. It
is considered that the application Of
these regulations will minimize the ne
cessity for such thorough search as has
been necessary until now.

BRITAIN OPPOSES
DACIA TRANSFER
Will Protest if Steamer Is
Sent to Germany Under
United States Flag.
rBy Gable % The Tribune J

London, Jan. ct seems quite GER
tain that Great Britain will at once
protest if the proposal which appeared
in the British press this morning Of
transferring the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
steamer Dacia 10 the American flag
and sending her to Germany laden with
cotton is carried out. According to
reliable informant. the British govern
ment would consider that this would
constitute a direct effort of the Dacia
to escape the consequences of being an
enemy ship, and Britain would there
fore object.
If President Wilson succeeds in pass
ing the bill providing for the purchase
of foreign ships and then buys German
vessels lying in American harbors, he
will not find the British government
placing obstacles in his way, provided
certain things are not done. The Brit
ish government holds that the transfer
of German ships to the American flag
would be in violation Of international
law, which provides that no action is
permissible which would permit these
ships to escape the consequences of be-
ing enemy ships.
1t could be held, in British official
opinion, that the transfer of German
vessels to the American flag, even If
the purchase payments were not made
until after the war, would be escapi ng
the consequences of being enemy ships
as such action would at least release
German firms from the obligation Of
paying insurance and large charges for
upkeep while the ships were lying idle
The government here apparently is
willing 70 overlook this and not OBJ
iect TO the transfer to the American
flag, provided Germany or Germans DO
not get the money at once, and also
that the ships are not used in Germa n
trade. Should the ships be placed in
the Latin American trade there would
be no objection.
After the passage Of the act the
British government doubtless will
make known its views to Washington
officially. Possibly it has informally
done so already, although it has been
careful to make no protest before the
legislation is enacted.

Austrians and Russians at
Standstill Around CracoW

Berlin via The Hague to London,
Jan. 6.-The correspondent OF the
"Tapeblatt in dispatch from the
Austrian headquarters says:
simultaneously with the cessation
Of the Russian offensive southwark IN
the direction Of Nowo Sandeo, the Aus
trian offensive in Russian Poland came
TO a standstill. This was due less TO
force of arms than the unfavorable
weather conditions. Much rain has
fallen, resulting in a thaw which has
converted the whole country into vast
morass. 1t is physically impossible TO
bring up heavy artillery, without when
the Russian position along the Nlda
River is not capable Of being forced.
"The Russian lines on the east bank
of the Nida follow the heights, which
are admirably suited for intrenchments
amid well covered with positions for the
Russian artillery fire. The Austrians
have intrenched themselves on the OPP
posite bank. There is little fighting,
however, except an occasional artillery
duel when the fog permits, and also
sporadic local infantry firing. NJ
change in the situation is imminent,
unless developments in the operations
upon Warsaw should cause one, or a
freeze should permit the moving Of the
heavy artillery"
Mark Time on Donajec.
The correspondent of the "Lokal An
zeiger" sends a similar report on the
conditions TO the east of Cracow. On
the Donajec River, he says, the al YER
saries are well intrenched, usually on
the opposite banks of the broad stream.
MS stated here that General Gerarl
n 40 in
Alsace. visited Warsaw in the latter
part of December. The object of his
visit was to make arrangements with
the Russian staff which, it is reported,
may lead 70 combined control of fur
Their operations.
To-day's official announcement deals
with minor German successes in Pc
/ land, including the capture OF 1,4OO
prisoners The text follows:
an the eastern arena of the war
/ there were no changes yesterday on
| our eastern frontier or in Northern Po-
! land. In Poland west of the Vistula
our troops penetrated as far as the

were left in our hands.
"The situation on the eastern bank

There is a little boom in progress on
