REPORTS NOT CONFIRMED
Nothing Authentic About England
' Seising Ports.
New York, Feb. 20. Russian reports
that the British government is threat
ening to sell several Red sea ports are
not confirmed from any official source
here, says a dispatch from London to
the Tribune. The king's speech re
vealed the existence of Important nego
tlations with tM Turkish government
respecting frontiers In that quarter and
there Is evidence that ministers have
b sen seriously disturbed by Turkish in
trigues and neglect to fulfill obllgaitons
for the control of portions of the coast
It Is not clear whether Russian aggres
sion or the meddlesome activity of
Germany is dreaded, but It is certain
that officials here have been more
deeply interested in the Red sea ques
tion than the revival of the Balkan ag
itation. Aden and its approaches are
watched with jealous and anxious eyes.
especially when Russian torpedo boats
have been making experimental runs
through the Dardanelles-,' A Russian
coaling station on the way to India
would be dangerously placed.

BILLS AND RIDERS
Advocates of Canal and Statehood
Manures Trying to Reach a
Compromise.
Washington. Feb. 20. The senate
spent the entire day in an executive
session, considering the Panama canal
treaty and at 6:25 p. m. took a recess
until tomorrow at 11 o'clock, t
No vote was taken on any of the am.
endments which have been prepared by
Senator Morean. A division of the
steering committee against night ses
sions was reached at a meeting of the
committee held during the afternoon at
the requert ot Senator Culloin, who has
the Colombian treaty in charge. The
steering committee advise abandoning
night sessions.
Opponents of the statehood bill nev
er have believed that the measure
could be carried as a rider on the post-
office appropriation bill in the" sen
ate, but friends of the measure have
discovered that they have votes not on.
lv to carry the plan, but to overrule the
phnlr should he deoMe the rider was
not In order. Inquiry about the sen.
ate today made the opposition appre
hensive though not convinced of this
claim, and the committee today said
that if such be the case It would hard
ly mean, an extra session of congress
and that the appropriation bill with the
statehood rider would be defeated. It
was also found that leaders in the
statehood bill fight were willing to as
sume responsibility for this outcome.
With this situation before them the
steering committee began to discuss
th nnmiibilltv of a compromise. Sen
ators Quay and Elklns and other re
publicans who have been favoring the
statehood bill were called m and the
matter was canvassed at length, but
without approaching an agreement.
Tha democrats have not been consult
ed and as they stood out solidly again st
the plan of. a compromise for the crea
tion of two new states they may not
adopt any compromise proposition.
Should the compromise be agreed up
on it is stated that it will include the
ratification of the Colombian and Cu
ban treaties.

Hour Law In Idaho Will
Down Miners' Wages.
Cut
Wallace, Idaho, Feb. 20. The eight-
hour law agitation in the Idaho legis
lature has caused extreme uneasiness
in the Coeur Delin silver lead mines dia
trict. . .
Mine owners said today In view of the
unsatisfactory market .conditions and
the difficulty of working properties at
a great depth which has been obtained
in the mines within the past two years;;
It will result in great hardship to a if
classes of citizens. With most of th
mnies it will result in either a tiroe
down of the plants or else a t iit-down"
in the wages of the miners in propor- .
tion to the reduction nl the hours of
work. The average cut tn wages will
be 20 percent. The increase of mining
one ton of ore over the present cost will
be about so percent,
