NOT AGREE

Cuban Congress Did Not Know When to Adjourn Its Sessions. PALUA TOOK A HAND The President Exerted Ills Constitutional Prerogative and Adjourned the Bodies. No Objection Was Mad in Either Mouse to This Manner of Solving the Problem. Havana, Jan. 20. President Palma ordered congress to adjourn, yesterday afternoon and the session came to an end soon after the receipt of the order. The presidential message said briefly that as the houses had not arrived at an agreement as to the date of closing the session, he directed an adjournment under the authority of the constitution. No objection was made in either house to this manner tt closing tb-3 session. No other important measures "are" pending" and the members for the most part are glad to get their freedom and to, be able to take part in the election campaign. Prior to adjournment the house passed the senate bill providing for the payment of interest on the revolutionary bonds and declaring the intention of paying the principal. The conference committee has been unable to agree on the bill for the purchase of the national theater; many representatives doubt the wisdom of the government's purchasing private property for sentimental reasons. There was no vote in either houes on the lottery bill, and in any event the attendance was insufScientt to pass this bill over the presidential veto. Unless a special session of congress is called there will be no other session until next April, when the newly elected representatives who comprise half the membership of the house, will take their seats.

The grand jury in the federal court here returned ten indictments against prominent citizens of this and neighboring counties for peonage. Among those indicted were F. M.

HE IS QUITE UPSET

Viceroy Alexieff Much Put Out By Uncle Sam's Recent Action. 31AKES SOME BOLT) TALK Russian Official Declares Consuls Cannot Be Admitted to Recently Opened. Ports. Our Treaty With China Without llussia's Consent Was Unfriendly, Says He. Port Arthur, Jan. 20. Admiral Alexieff, the Russian viceroy in the far East, speaks hopefully of the possibility of arranging a modus Vivendi with Japan. The viceroy's diplomatic ADMIRAL. ALEXIEFF. agent, M. Plancon, however, empha sizes the impossibility of Russia's evacuation of Manchuria, He says: "Orders were given some months ago to evacuate New Chwang and Manchuria provided the Chinese would agree to simple terms, but owing to the intrigues of the Japanese minister with the Wai Wu Pu (Chinese foreign board), these orders were countermanded." M. Plancon declared that the action of the United States in making a commercial treaty with China without Russia's consent under the existing circumstances, was unfriendly and undiplomatic. Russia, he said, would not open or allow consuls at Mukden and Antung under the present regime. If Japan wanted Korea, Russia, M. Plancon said, would not interfere, provided other powers allowed it, and he added: "Russia did not ask Japan's consent to occupy Manchuria, neither was it necessary for Japan to seek Russia's permission to establish a protectorate in Korea," M. Plancon concluded by saying that the United States and other nations were more Interested in the situation than was Russia. The action of the United States government has apparently quite upset Viceroy Alexieff's calculations. LOOKS MORE PEACEFUL Indications Daily. More Hopeful of Diplomatic Adjustment. London, Jan. 20. The German newspapers appear to be paving the way to explain the Russian retreat in the negotiations with Japan, and in all the capitals of Europe opinion now inclines to a peaceful issue in the far East. In a dispatch from Tokio a correspondent there reports that a lengthy conference of the Japanese cabinet -was held Tuesday and says the em peror is receiving the ministers ol finance , and marine and the naval chiefs. The correspondent says he has learned that Mr. Kurino, Japanese minister at St. Petersburg, has sent in a confidential report in which he says that at a recent secret meeting of the Russian grand dukes and the ministers, War Minister Kuropatkln and some of his colleagues declared in favor of peace. Koreans Causing Trouble. Sequl, Jan 20. Riu.'.a coinplsin? that Korean soldiers are causing trouble. Kcres anawers that Russia must not Interfere. The tension in Seoul is increasing and the native press, which probably is inspired, Is more bitter against foreigners than formerly. he emperor's trusted ad risers have a daily coaacii.

POLITICAL GOSSIP

Some of the Things Being Discussed by State Politicians. Indlanarolis, Jr.n. 20, Adam Beck of Hunt'r.ie"., ir-rrrier member of the Republican stMe committea In the Eleventh district, who w-as defeated by Elam Neal in a memorable fight, is to be cared for. Chairman Goodrich has decided to appoint him as a member of the executive committee of the state committee. Beck was popular In his district, but lost because Major Steele, who backed Neal, had a larger following. His appointment as a member of the executive committee will give general satisfaction. Warren Bigler of Wabash and Sidney Cantwell of Hartford City are members of the executive committee, and, like Beck, they are Eleventh district men. So it is very probable that the appointment of Beck will mean the retirement of either Bigler or Cantwell, a3 it is not very likely that Chairman Goodrich will give three of five appointments onthe executive committee to one congressional district. W. D. Ryan of the Illinois miners' state association is easily one of the most influential men at the big convention. Next to President Mitchell and Secretary-Treasurer Wilson he i3 perhaps the most interesting figure. He is heard very frequently, but always to good effect. He is regarded by the miners as a man of calm and deliberate judgment. He was chairman of the joint scale committee at the last convention. Some miners thought he might spoil matters by being too belligerent, but the outcome was a monument to him as well as to President Mitchell and the others who obtained the big concessions. Ryan might be termed the "prince of financiers of the labor world," for It is largsly due to his keen foresight and business judgment that the Illinois miners' association is in a class by itself the world over. It is the richest state labor organization in this country. But one other labor organization in the world, the Durham County (England) Miners' association, equal3 it in discipline or effectiveness in its field. A few years ago Ryan's oQce as secretary was wherever his hat was off. Today the Illinois organization has a fortune of over ? 600,000 carefully invested in good securities. During the anthracite strike they gave away $100,000 and later they gave $50,000 to the West Virginia strike. Ryan bad charge of the investment ofthis money. He will be a member of the scale committee this time. Judge Penfield of Auburn, solicitor for the state department at Washington, has entered the race for the Republican nomination for governor, and Union Banner Hunt ha3 withdrawn. Judge PenSeld says: "If nominated I shall devote my energy to the success of the whole ticket, and if elected I shall try to maintain the high standard set by the distinguished men who have occupied the position, and I shall do my best to assure a clean administration of .the state government in all its branches." The judge is a man of high character and will appeal to many people, but politician 3 as yet are unable to figure where he will win out. BUSY RUMOR Reports of Death of the Pope Have Started Early. Rome, Jan. 20. The rumor of the death of the pope which was circulated in Madrid, having come to the ear3 of the pontiff, his holiness exclaimed to a friend: "What, already? Leo wp.s left in peace for five years after his election, while with mo these rumors have begun at the end of only a few months. It may be a good thing to look at this from a superstitious standpoint, but I am quite the other way and think it may even prolong my life." He Was Pleased to Announce. Berlin, Jan. 20. The lower house of the Prussian diet re-elected by acclamation Herr Kroecher to be president and Herren Porsch and Krauz to be vice presidents of the house. When Finance Minister Rheinbaben introduced the budget he said he was able to make the gratifying announcement that owing to the revival of trade a surplus of $5,500,000 was expected for the year 1903 Instead of the anticipated deficit of ?17,750,000. The government also hoped to be able to dispense with a loan in 1904. Baker Claims Self-Defense. Anderson, Ind., Jan." 20. The trial of Andrew J. Baker of Elwood for killing Fred Kiser at Elwood, Dec. 3, is In progress in the circuit court after having been postponed twice. Baker Is charged with manslaughter. He will assert that he was attacked in the street and that Kiser struck him, after which he shot him In self-defense. Cincinnati Distillery Destroyed. Cincinnati, Jan. 20. The large plant of Mihalovltch, Fletcher & Co., on Pearl street, used as a distillery and for compounding liquors, was burned. Loss, $250,000; Insured for $100,000. Enforcing the Ordinance. Chicago, Jan. 20. Eight more churches and a number of halls have been closed by order of the city buildins com rsr loner for violation of the city ordinances Big Wool F-'irs in Doston. Boston, Jan. 20. Fira .ast nisnt destroyed the four-story vroui warehouse of IT. P. Gurrity &, Co. Total loss was about !fG,O0U.

Machen and the otliers indicted with liim for conspiracy to defraud the government is proceeding rapidly. The government put in evidence a number of documents having direct bearing on the dealings of the GrofE brothers with Machen's division in the postoffice department, and bank officials gave testimony concerning the deposits of the Groffs and the checks drawn against these deposits. The fact was brought out by two witnesses representing firms which manufactured the GrofE fastener that the price to the GroJTs of the complete fastener was 25 cents, with a rebate of 5 cents cn each fastener, conditioned on prompt settlement of bills. The price at which the fastoners were furnished to the government at first was fixed at $1.50 each, but lter it was reduced to $1.25 each. A flurry was created during one stage of the proceedings when Attorney Kumler, representing the Lorenzs, complained to the court that Postofllco Inspector Walter S. Mayer had been talking to witnesses before they came on the stand. Mayer denied the charge. WThen, subsequently, the matter cropped out again and Attorney Kumler said he had positive evidence that Mayer had committed the offense, Justice Pritchard rebuked the inspector and warned him against its repetition. District Attorney Beach demanded an a.Hdavit to prove the assertion, which Mr. Kumler said he would furnish later in the day, but the matter apparently was allowed to drop, as the affidavit was not presented.
