tMe transaction of necessary business, un
til after the funeral.

stltuted. The committee now consists of
Senators Nelson, Cullom. Clark of Wyo
xnlng, Bacon, Hansbrongh, Spooner, Pet
tlgrew. Carter and Fpster. The two com
mittees of the House and Senate; In

CANTON, O., Nor. 2$.-Suase William R.
Day, ex-Secretary of Staje, and president
of ithe Paris Peace Commission, of which
Senator Davis was a member, said today:
"The death of Senator, Davis removes
one of he first statesmen of the coup
try. Aajchairman of the Senate commit
tee on foreign 'relations he took a promi
nent and Influential part in the foreign
policy of the country for some years. Sen
ator Davis was thoroughly acquainted
with International law, and was one of
the highest American authorities on this
subject of the present day. His services
at Paris were of the highest value. He
bore a leading part In the discussion be
fore that tribunal, always acquitting him
self with honor. '
"Senator Davis was a man of genial
temperament and attractive personality.
His place In the counells of the Nation
will be bard to All, and his death Is a
personal loss to a wide circle of friends,
who were greatly attached."
May Not Attend the Funeral.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Owlng to the
near approach of the convening of
Congress, many prominent Senators and
Representatives cannot attend the funeral
of Senator Davis, The members of the
ways and means committee will meet Sat
urday, probably to act on the war reve
nue reduction measure, so they cannot
attend. Mr. Tawney, of Minnesota, though
one of the committee to attend the fu
neral, may be unable to go to St Paul,
as he is a member of the committee
framing the war revenue act amend
ments. There is one vacancy, and Gen
eral Grosvenor Is absent, so upon party
lines the committee would be a tie if Mr.
Tawney should be away, unless a pair
could be arranged with one of the mi
nority. The seat formerly occupied by
Senator Davis will be taken by Senator
Hanna hereafter, he having applied for It
some time ago, when Senator Davis
sought a seat not yet vacant.
Severe Loss to the Country.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 2S. Ex
President Harrison today saldt
"I learned with deep regret of the death
.of Senator Davis. While I was in Wash

regarded him as an able man. He was a
man of strong personality and of high
Intellectual acquirements, and had be
come a power in the Senate. His position
at the head of the foreign relations com
mittee was an important one, and his
death at this time Is a severe loss to thei
country."

other country from so doing. On the con
trary, she will Join in such initiative,
taken under such conditions as appear
to her to merit acquiescence. Mr."
Kruger did not intimate what he
intended to do, but It is believed that ho
will take the official diplomatic step at
The Hague. It is not known whether he
will ask Holland to propose mediation or
open other and less clearly defined nego
tiation. Mr. Kruger today drove to the School
of Fine Arts to Inspect the plaster model
of the monument to be erected to the

Kruger Wants to Visit America.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28. Michael DavittJ
cables from Paris to the Evening Jour
nal today that Mr. Kruger, replying to
the question if he had any intention of
making his future home in the United
States, said:
"I never contemplated going to Amer
ica to live, although I have received sev
eral pressing invitations to do so. I am
seriously considering, however, a short,
visit to the United States. The pevere;
hardships of Winter travel would not dT
ter me, old as I am, If I were sure I could
accomplish any good for my oppressed
country."
Mr. Davitt adds that It Is almost cer
tain that Mr. Kruger will not visit Amer
ica, and that the entire Cabinet of the
South African Republic opposes the idea,--
the unanimous opinion being that the Mc
KInley Administration will do nothing
whatever for the Boer cause.

ment here on the arrival In London of
Sir Henry Howard, the British Minister
at The Hague. It is officially explained
that Sir Henry Is taking a holiday, but It
is admitted that his presence ip this city
is not altogether unconnected with tho
approaching arrival of Mr. Kruger at the
capital df Holland, and the promised dem
onstration, which naturally will be very
embarrassing to the British representa
tive at the Dutch capital.

HER POLICY MODIFIED
GERMANY'S RETREAT TROM
HER
DEMAND FOR DEATH PENALTY:
The Powers Debating on the "Wls
dom of Sending- an Ulti
matum to China.
BERLIN, Nov. 28 The semiofficial Ber
liner Post, In the course of an evidently
Inspired article replying to the suggges
tlona 'of more lenient punishment of the
guilty officials in China made by the
United States Government says:
"Since doubts have been expressed here
as to whotbftr It Is advisable to insist
upon death for the ringleaders of the antl
forelgn 'movement as an irrevocable de
cision, it should'be pointed' out that such
a doubt cannot be traced to considerations
of humanity, as If some powers regarded
such a punishment aa too severe. The
fact Is rather that alk the powers are con
vinced that the ringleaders deserve death;
but the question has been raised on vari
ous sides as to whether such a measure
should be insisted upon from tho stand
point of political expediency. So far as
Germany ia concerned, she has never In
sisted upon the execution of specific per
sons, but has repeatedly declared that she
laid chief emphasis upon the harmonious
action of all the powers in punishing the
guilty. This attitude corresponds wi.h
the guiding principle of Germany's policy,
which seeks above all el3e to preserve the
harmony of the powers." .
The FreiBsinnige Zeitung describes the
Post's declaration as ''Germany's retreat
from the demand for the death penalty."
ThoMilliar Wochenblatt, discussing the
charges of cruelty on the part of the Ger
mans In China, says:
"The usages of civilized warfare are
not alwavs applicable with the half-civilized.
A commander' must deviate from
the laws of nations w here observations I
of It is rendered Impossible through the I
nenavior or the enemy or ms own situa
tion. In a critical situation, where care
for prisoners would endanger self-preservation,
prisoners must either not be
taken or must bo got rid of. The Ger
man Army should not be accused of cru
elty without considering the facts in the
light of the conditions."
The papers this evening resume their
criticism of the course of the United
States Government, based upon the latest
news from Washington. The Berliner
Neuste Nachrichten, says: "The United
States, with Russia, is China's chief de
fended" Tho Lokal Ahzeiger says: "It is re
newed evidence of the separate policy of
the United States."
The Freissinnge Zeitung lnfex-s from
Ambassador White's visit to the Foreign
Office, and Dr. vote Holleben's call upon
President MoKinley and Secretary Hay
that a serious difference of opinion exists
between tbe United States and Germany,
Ambassador White reasserted today that
In his rbcent Interview with the Secre
tary of Foreign Affairs, Baron von Rlch
thofen, he did not present a new note, but
only made an informal suggestion, which
did not reaulre an answer. He doubts
that Germany will give an answer to
those suggestions. His instructions from
Washington directing him to seek the in
terview with the Foreign Secretary were
not, he says, a repetition of the Conger
instructions.

ULTTM3.TU3I TO CHINA.
The Powers Debating; on the-Wisdom
of Sendlntr It.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 It developed
today that the chief point in the ex
changes concerning China which have
been on during the last few days among
the powers relates to the wisdom of de
livering an 'ultimatum" to China, using
the express word "ultimatum" in the text
of the demand to be handed to the Chinese
envoyB, involving tho possibility of a re
sulting declaration of war against China
in caso the demands of the ultimatum be
not complied with. It appears that some
of the powers desired the express use of
the word "ultimatum" in the demand rel
ative to th decapitation or other ex
treme punishment of 11 of the princes and
other high officials responsible for the
outrages, and this View of using the most
expressive term of diplomacy seems to
have found favor with the Ministers at
Pekin.
When it became known at the several
capitals, considerable dissent became man
ifest About a week &eo Japan took the
initiative In an appeal for moderation
and this received the favorable consider
ation of the United States, France and
Russia, and probably Great Britain, al
though a pqsitjve statement as to Great
Britain Cannot be made. At about the
same time Secretary Hay took step3 to
express the view of his government that
it was inadvisable to proceed to the ex
tent of an ultimatum against China, but
that the demands should not be beyond
what China reasonably might have the
power to comply with.
The unanimity of sentiment among th
powers Klves ground for the belief that
the demands of the Ministers will be mod.
ifled by the omission of an ultimatum, al
though It Is not yet clear what the final
attitude of the remaining powers Ger
