SHOWS Bid DEFICIT
IN THE NATIONAL HUIS Of M E S S
CONGRESS RESUMES.
Short Mooting of Fifty-Ninth Sooaion
ot Work.
Washington, Doc. 4.—The 59th con-
groao began ito loot session at noon yes­
terday. It took the senate 15 minutes
to arrange its preliminaries and the
house an hour.
Tho senate received
from President Roosevelt s long list of
appointments for ito confirmation, and
in executive session of 19 minutes de­
cided, as the nominations had been re­
ceived before the body had been organ­
ised formally, to make no confirmations
until the president’ s annual message
had been received-and/the session fair­
ly started.
Senators Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
and Foraker, of Ohio, came forward
with resolutions of inquiry regarding
tb s discharge of the negro troops of the
Twenty-fitfh infantry.' One was ad­
dressed to the president and the other
to the secretary of war. After the rip-
pis of surprise had passed and Vioe
President Fairbanks had suggested that
it was unusual to transact any business
until the president’s message bad been
reoeived, the resolutions went over by
unanimous consent. Senator Dupont,
o f Delaware, took the oath of office.
The opening of the two houses was
witnessed by an animated throng,
which filled the gallaries to their ca­
pacity. Hundreds went away disap­
pointed in not gaining admission to
witness the session of either senate or
house.
Not in years have a larger number of
members-elect of the lower house of
congress presented themselves at the
.speaker’s desk to take the oath of office.
Death has been unusually active among
the membership during the closing days
o f the last session and the beginning of
the present, and Chaplain Couden feel­
ingly called the attention of the body
to the work of the grim reaper during
the months since adjournment.
After the appointment of the usual
committee to wait upon the president
and inform him that the house was or­
ganised and ready to receive any com­
munication he might desire to make of
interest to the public service, the house
adjourned out of respect to the memory
o f the deceased members. The presi­
dent’s message will be received both in
the housq and senate today.
No bills
were introduced in the senate.
In the
house three were 38 public measures
and 350 of a private character.
Work ot Congress.
Washington, Dec. 4.— The reading of
the president’ s message consumed two
hours and 26 minutes in the house to­
day and was followed closely by a large
number of members, while the crowd­
ed galleries gave close attention.
After the customary resolution relat­
ing to the printing of the message, the
house, at 2:53, adjourned until noon
tomorrow.
Washington, Dec. 4. — President
Roosevelt’s annual message to congress'
occupied the attention of the senate for
two and one-half hours today, to the
exclusion of nearly all other business.
The exception to this was the introduc­
tion of a resolution on the Japanese
situation by Raynor, of Maryland, and
the adoption of appropriate resolutions
regarding those members of the house
o f representatives who have died since
the last session. As a mark of further
respect to their memories, adjournment
was taken at 2:54 o ’clock. .
Wednesday, December 5.
Washington, Dec. 6.— The brief ses­
sion of the senate today resulted in the
introduction of many bills, resolutions,
petitions and memorials, and the re­
ceipt of a number of communications
from the executive department. Sena­
tor Foraker’ « insistence that immediate
action be taken on the pending resolu­
tions asking for information regarding
the disclutrge of negro soldiers of the
Twenty-fifth infantry developed discus­
sion, but resulted in postponing action
until tomorrow.
h u r » o i i , Decenb r 0.
Washington, Dec. 0.— The senate to­
day adopted the Penrose resolution ask­
ing the president for information re­
garding the discharge of the negro
troops of the Twenty-fifth infantry,
and also the Foraker resolution direct­
ing the secretary of War to transmit
information on the same subject.
Senator Beveridge introduced a bill
today to amend the meat inspection act
by requiring that the cost of inspection
shall be paid by the packers. Another
amendment requires that the date of
inspection and packing or canning shall
be placed on each n ^kage.
Washington, Dec. 04. — The house
by a vote of 110 to 104 today defeated
the bill of Littlefield of Maine remov­
ing discriminations against American
sailing vessels in the coasting trade.
The debate raged for four hours and a
half and the result of the vote was a
surprise to the friends of the measure,
who openly charged its defeat to the
American Federation of Labor.
%
Friday, December 7
Washington, Dec. 7. — By a practi­
cally unanimous vote the house today
passed the bill limiting the regulation
of interstate commerce between the sev­
eral state« In articles manufactured by
convict labor or in any prison or re­
formatory. The bill was introduced
by Hunt, of Missouri, a practical stone
mason. Ui dsr the Wilson bill, which
became a law in 1890, convict labor-
made goods may enter into active com­
petition with the goods manufactured
by “ free labor” and under this Federal
law a state could not pass a law that
would prevent the shipping into the
state of prison-made goods of other
states.
The sovereignity of the state was the
subject of earnest debate in the house
today, growing out of the consideration
of a bill to establish a game preserve of
nearlyj700,000 acres in the Olympia
forest reserve in the state of Washing­
ton. The bill was passed without divi­
sion.

READY FOR WAR.
Our Army and Navy Prepared if Japan
Wants to Fieht.
Washintgon, Dec. 4.— Nothing which
has been said in the whole range of
comment on the possibility of war be­
tween the United States and Japan has
surprised certain Washington officials
so much as the seeming unanimity of
opinion in the country that we are ut­
terly unprepared for a fight with the
Orientals.
There is a prayerful hope that no war
will come, but, if it should come, the
strong probabilities are that the pessi­
mists, and they seem to abound in
every section of the land, will find that
they have looked upon the prospect with
blue glasses.
Congressmen have come into Wash­
intgon from every district and all of
them seem burdened with the belief
that, if trouble comes with Japan over
the California school question— which
is a minor matter— or over the enact­
ment of a Japanese exclusion law—
which is a major matter— the Philip­
pines will be lost to us, temporarily at
least, within a month.
The Japanese will not take the Phil­
ippines, or, if they do, they will be suc­
cessful in an exploit that will bring
them such honors of war as few people.
FRANTIO APPEAL FOR COAL.
Spokane Dealers Hear From Entire
Inland Empire.
Spokane, W ash., Dec. 7. — Stimu­
lated by the heavy fall of snow
throughout the Big Bend, Palouye,
Walla Walla and Coeur d ’ Alene coun­
ties last night, local coal, dealers were

Worse Treated In Mexico.
San Antonio, Tex., Dec. 4.— A dis­
patch to the Express from Eagle Pass,
Tex., says: Three hundred Japanese
have entered the United States from
Mexico through Eagle Pass since No­
vember 1. They are leaving Mexico
because of ill treatment which they re­
ceived at the hands of Mexican employ­
ers. The Japanese say they were lured
into Mexico with promises of good pay
and pleasant work on farms. Ho invit­
ing were the promises that Japanese
immigration societies worked to get
Japanese for agricultural work.
Utah Coal Land Withdrawn,
Salt Lake City, Dec. 4.— The Utah
state land board has received notice
from the general land office at Washing­
ton of the withdrawal from all forms of
appropriation under the public land
laws qf 184,21 acres of land in Utah.
This land had been selected by the Utan
land board for transfer to private par­
ties as argicultural land, but it is now
withdrawn ¥y the government on the

Must Appear in St. Louis.
Ht. Louis, Dec. 7.— The clerk of the
United States Circuit court today re*
ceived notification from the United
States marshal’s office in New York
that service had been ordered on John
D. Rockefeller and others in the gov­
ernment suit against the Standard Oil
company recently filed in Ht. Louis. In
addition to Rockefeller, the followiivg
joint defendants with him were served:
Henry H. Rouen», William Rockefeller,
John D. Archbold, H. M. Flagler and
Oliver H. Payne. They will lie requir­
ed to enter an appearance here.
Postal Department Runs Behind BIO,-
610 996 04 in Y-ar.
Washington, Dec. 11. — The annual
report of Postmaster General Cortelyou
shows receipts for the past year were
$107,932,782.96, while expenditures
were $178,449,778.89.
The deficit is
$10,610,995.94.
Th postmaster general discusses the
deficit but says be is less concerned
about that than about the efficiency of
the department.
He attributes the
failure to show a profit to the growing
public demand for increased postal fa­
cilities. The deficit is not charged to
any one branch of the service.
The remarkable efficiency of son
departments is commented upon, par­
ticularly of the registry service. For
half a century all causes of loss, in­
cluding burglary, theft and fire, have
shown a loss of only three one-thou­
sandths of 1 per cent.
Mr. Cortelyou
recommends that a deputy postmaster
general be Appointed, who shall relieve
the burden borne by the postmaster
general and bis four assistants. The
department has 320,000 persons in its
1 employ and it is recommended that the
deputy’s position be made permanent
and that he shall be general manager of
the postal service. Greater accuracy in
statistics is recommended and Mr. Cor­
telyou auks that provision be made for
expert statisticians and accountants.
The congestion of mail in New York
City is indicated and attention called
to the new postoffice building, a site for
which has been acquired at the pro­
posed terminal station of the Pennsyl­
vania railroad.
FROM PRESIDENT'S VIEW.
Gives Reasons for Dismissing Former
Ambassador Storer.
Washington, Dec. 11. — President
Roosevelt tonight made public a long
letter addressed to Secretary Root, giv­
ing correspondence between the presi­
dent and ex-Ambassador Bellamy Stor­
er, in which he says that Mr. Storer’s
refusal to gnawer his letters and the
publication of various private letters
justified the ami tssador’s removal;
that Mr. Storer’s publication of private
correspondence was peculiarly ungentle-
manly and that he (the president) had
stated with absolute clearness his posi­
tion, the reason why it was out of the
question for him as president to try to
get any archbishop made cardinal,
though expressing his admiration for
Archbishop Ireland as well as leaders
of other denomination.
The president’s action follows the
publication of a “ confidential pamph­
let” which Mr. Storer last week sent to
the president, the cabinet and the sen?!
ate and foreign relations committee.
PRESIDENT CASTRO ILL.
Chief Executive of Venezuela Removed
to Seecoaat Town on^a Bed.
Fort de France, Martiidque, Dec. 11.
— Reliable advices here from Venesuela
set forth that PresidentV Castro was
moved down to the little seafcoask 'Yil
lage of Macuto, near La Guayra, last
week. The president is described as
being very ill. He made the trip from
Caracas in a bed. When he arrived at
Macuto, he appeared to be abeolutely
unconscious. It is generally believed
that be has no chance of recovery.
Violently worded posters have been
circulated in Caracas declaring that no
one is today deceived regarding the
gravity of President Castro’s illness,
and insisting that the exercise of the
executive power be assured through a
vice president, which is provided for in
the constitution.
For a long time
past the poster continued, only routine
government matters have been attended
to, and important questions are being
hel in abeyance.
General Parades, an ex-revolution-
ists, now in exile, is organizing a seri
t)us insurrectionary movement, and de­
clares that he will soon take the field.
He claims to have 16,000 rifles at his
disposition.
