HAY AT HIS DESK AGAIN

sncnnTAitY of statu discusses CHINESE AFFAIRS W ITH WU. All the Power In Favor of ExpeditingXcKotlutlons ut Peking; Britain ot nn Objector. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Secretary Hay was at the state department to-day for the first time in a week, and although able to direct affairs, he still shows signs of the severe cold he has had for some time. Minister Wu called early and thero was a conference lasting a half hour on the Chinese situatiop. The department has now received responses from all the powers relative to the dispatch recently forwarded through our diplomatic representatives abroad, .v.rgerttly requesting that negotiations be expedited as fast as poslble. All of the powers concur In this view, and express earnest desire to reach a final setlement. It Is rather an unaccountable fact, however, that some of the foreign powers have referred to delays caused by the United 1 States, whereas the efforts of this government throughout have been to hurry matters along. . It wastfor this reason that the recent proposition was made to remove the two points of Indemnity and treaties to Washington, or some other rapltal, although some of the powers seem to have the erroneous impression that this delayed proceedings. The state department adheres to its purpose not to make, known the powers which favored or opposed the recent proposition. But in view or reports to the effect that Great Britain was most strenuous in opposition, it can be stated that the British government was one of those whicll received the suggestion most favorably. The prospect that LI Hung Chang may have to retire from the peace commission because of his Infirmities has led to some canvass among officials as to those available to take his place. Among the informally mentioned are Sheng. the Imperial director of posts, and Liah Kun Ye, viceroy of Nankin. Both of these officials are spoken of In the highest term3 by Consul General Good now, our representative at Shanghai during the crisis. Mr. Goodnow has said to the State Department officials that these officials are men of marked Intellectual ability and of progressive spirit. Up to the close of the official day. Mr. Conger had not advised the department of the final signing of the peace protocol. When this is concluded. It is understood that the. foreign ministers and the Chinese envoys hereafter will meet together and carry forward the execution of the terms of the protocol, probably embodying the final result In a comprehensive treaty of peace on the lines of the present protocol. Iloynl Seal IVot Yet Attached. PEKING, Jan. 14. Prince Ching has notified Senor De Cologan, the Spanish minister, who is the doyen of the diplomatic corps, that the agreement was signed yesterday morning, but that he did not expect to be able to present it to the foreign envoys before Wednesday, owing to the difficulty of obtaining the imperial seal, which he asserted, is in the Forbidden City and In the private apartments of the Emperor, guarded by the Emperor's most trusted servants. He said also that a personal order from the Emperor would be required before those who have the seal in charge would deliver it even to Prthce Chlhg.

PORTO RICO AND HAWAII. Two Innnlar Canes Argued by Senator . Lindsay nnd AV. Wlckhnm Smith. WASHINGTON. Jan. 14. The United States Supreme Court to-day resumed its hearings In the case of Charles Huues vs. the New York and Torto Rico Steamship Company, and Senator Lindsay continued his argument, begun by him on Friday. The action Involves the questions of pilotage, the owner of the steamship claiming exemption on the ground that . orto Rlcan ports have ceased to be foreign. Senator Lindsay quoted from decisions of the court to establish his contention that the term "foreign port" could be used In Its broadest sense and that In early acts the trade between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts was so considered as between foreign ports. Also that the treasury department did consider a port foreign unless the clearance of the vessel coming to this country was given by an officer In a customs collection district established by Congress and exercising his function under the laws of the United States. San Juan, he argued, was never made a domestic port of tho United States and must be considered a foreign port until Congress Includes It In one of the' collection districts of the United States. Following this line he argued that vessels trading between New York and Porto Rican ports were not In the coasting trade. It was further argued that Congress did not intend to make the trade coasting trade, for trade was discussed as between Porto Rico and the United States, which would not have been the case had It been considered that Porto Rican ports were domestic ports. None of the provisions of the act to govern Porto Rico. Mr. Lindsay urged, controlled or mentioned pilotage and could be interpreted as affecting the point at issue. When Senator Lindsay concluded, the case of George W. Crossman et al appellants, vs. The United States was called. This case Is one covering the entry of goods from Hawaii, consisting of whisky, brandy and jam, at the custom house at New York. April 20, 1000, and is the only Hawaiian case In the list. Duty was assessed under the provisions of the Dingley law. The importers protested against collection of duty on the ground that the Hawaiian Islands were a part of the United States, that the provision of the annexation resolution which 'continued the customs laws of the Republic of Hawaii until Congress should legislate was unconstitutional. Appeal was taken to the Board of General Appraisers, to the United States Circuit Court and to the Supreme Court. Mr. W. Wlckham Smith presented the case for the appellants. POSTAL COMMISSION REPORT. Several Important Iteeommendatlona Made by Congressmen. . WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The postal commission of the House and Senate, which has been investigating postal matters for the past two years, made Its report today. The commission unanimously reports in favor of excluding from the secondclass mall rate, first, books, whether bound or unbound; second, newspapers and periodicals unsold, sent by a news agent to another news agent or returned to the publisher; third, sample copies of newspapers above a certain small fixed proportion of the circulation. The commission also unanimously reports against the continuance of the system of transmitting malls in the pneumatic tubes under present conditions. The commission unanimously recommends that neither a change In letter postage nor the establishment of a system of parcels post is practicable under existing conditions of revenue and expenditure even if otherwise desirable, upon which no opinion is expressed. Upon the question of railway mall pay there are five reports. First, a report signed by Senators Wolcott and Allison, which declares that the present rate of railway . mail pay is not excessive and ought not to be changed except by the discontinuance of the appropriations for special facilities, which it declares should be discontinued; second, a report signed by Mr; Loud, concurring with the last named report except that it recommends the adoption of railway mall rates In accordance to the space occupied Instead of the methods provided by law; third, a report signed by Mr. Moody, which declares that upon further Investigation as to the prevailing methods of loading postal cars and inquiry into the question whether the methods may not be correctedv so as to result in a saving without injury to the carrier (in this report Mr. Catchings concurred); fourth, a report signed by Senator Martin apd Mr. Catchings, dissenting from the views of the other members of the commission with regard to the discontinuance of appropriations for special facilities; fifth, a report signed by Mr. Fleming, In which he states that he thinks that there should be some reduction in the present rate of railway mall pay, either by a 5 per cent, reduction generally! and a still further reduction on the routes where the volume of traffic Is greatest, or, in case these suggestions are not .adopted, by a change in the special pay for postal cars. Senator Chandler does not concur. in any report owing to his absence from Washington. Mr. Fleming also holds that the government should pay for the transportation of postoffice officials when traveling as passengers in passenger cars. Free transportation for mail men he held should be confined to mail cars. DEVERY A WITNESS. Chief of Police Testified nt the Trial of Cnptnln Herllhy. NEW YORK, Jan. 14. Chiefof Police Devery was the first witness to-day in the trial of Captain Herllhy, who Is charged with neglect of duty and unbecoming conduct. Ex-Judge Olcott, for the prosecution, asked: t "Did aptaln Herllhy, while In command of the twelfth precinct, report to you that he had good grounds for believing any house, room or premises within his precinct was occupied for lewd Or obscene purposes, and ask you to authorize in writing the members of the force to enter the same and to arrest all persons there found offending against the law?" The chief started to give a long answer, and Mr. Olcott interrupted him, saying: "Say yes or no." 'I never heard of any captain making such a request," answered the chief. The witness was turned over to Mr. Grant, whose first question was: "Mr. Chief, how long have you been connected with the police department?" "Twenty-three years." "And In your whole experience have you ever known of a warrant of that kind to be applied for?" "I never did." Rev. Albert Heyhoe testified that Captain Herllhy called on him last October and took him to task about an interview that had appeared as coming from him In an evening paper shortly before. He said he had at that time complained to Captain Herllhy about a house rear the Camp Memorial Chapel, of which he Is the pastor. Captain Herllhy said he would t-ee to it that the house was closed. It remained open, and Mr. Heyhoe afterward wrote a letter of complaint to Captain Herllhy. In response an officer -had called on Mr. Heyhoe and told him that' If he would speak the word 'the whole business would be stopped." This testimony is considered damaging to the defense, as it establishes one of the points the prosecution is striving, to prove lhe power of Captain Herllhy to break the reign of vice in his precinct had he chosen to do so. At the conclusion of Mr. Heyhoe's testimony the trial adjourned until next Wednesday afternoon. WILL BE REORGANIZED. London nnd (ilohe Finance Corpora tlon to to Into Liquidation. LONDON, Jan. 11.
