{'Chairman Tatvney of the Committee on Au

♦» the California question: "I would not ex-
Chaxige California for Japan.

t FAVORS KO N-ETtV LEGISLATION.
t Mr. Dalzell, of Penn!>ylvajiln. eaid:
', I am in favor of practically no new legisla
tion at this srsHlon, which will be bo occupied
with appropriation bills that there will be no
ftparA time. I believe the Ship Subsidy bill
ahould be passed, and the President* recom
mendation is excellent.
Mr. Boutelle, of Illinois, said:
Three things impressed me eKpeclally In the
message. The first was that the President's dlfl
. position of th«» matter of the excitement of th«
rJapanew" in California displayed the broadest
and most enlightened statesmanship. Secondly
and thirdly. I was (neatly Interested in the
'deep humanitarianism and intelligent philan
thropy shown In the recommendations for the
restriction of child labor and for the estab
lishment of the right hour day for all rail
roads.
John Sharp ■Williams, the minority leader, re
marked: 'The Democratic party has lassoed
the President."
Other Southern Democrat? disapproved the
dent's recommendation of a national di
vorce law. Representative Richardson, of Ala
hma, Bald: "That question should be left to the
respective state*."
>.:: the Fouthern members expressed the view
that the President had treated the Question of
lynching and th» race problem in the Fouth in
the fairest and broadest way.
"There is no sectionalism in the message," raid
Judge Richardson. "On the lynching question
l! If Found and impartial."
The California members were, without excep
tion, aroused by the President's reference to the
treatment of Japanese in the schools. Repre
sentative MeeAasa paid that California would

firpswd the unrip view.
Members of th« House Naval Committee com
mended the President's recommendations on the
raval establishment. '
"There seems to me to be especial need for
establishing great coaling stations in Hawaii
nd Guam." said Representative Butler, of
Pennsylvania. "With these possessions the
Vnltfd Stales should make the best advantage
of them for maintaining the fleet in the Pacific
in case the emergency arose."
The message occupied the attention of the
Penatf* for two and a half hours to-day, to the
exclusion of nearly all other business. The ex
ception to thin was the Introduction of a reso
lution on the Japanese situation by Senator
Rayner. of Maryland, and the adoption of appro
priate resolutions regarding those members of
the House of Representatives who have died
fjinc*- the-lnFt session.
The reading of the President's message con-
Fumed two hours and twenty-five minutes in the
Home. During most of the time of the reading,
Representative Lacey, of lowa, acted as Speaker
pro tern , belnp the first of the defeated "stand
patters" to be recognized by Speaker Cannon.
"While the House waited for the secretary to the
President to appear with the message. Speaker
Cannon appointed Robert G. Cousins, of lowa,
chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs
to succeed the late Robert R. Hitt. of Illinois.
He also appointed Representative Frank O.
Lowdcn to a place on the same committee to rill
the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Hitt.
Representative Games, of Tennessee, intro
duced a bill raisins the salaries of Members of
Congress to $7,500 annually, the law to become
effective In the 61st Congress. The bill also
provided for reimbursing members for money

ter to Pefior Quesada, the message contains the
additional Ftatement that if Cuba acquires th<»
revolutionary habit it Is impossible that the
Island's independence be maintained, for, since
•he United Htatftg is standing in the position of a
guarantor of the protection of life and property,
It would th<>n be compelled to intervene anew.
Although this statement already has been ex
pressed by Senator P.everidge and Secretary
Root. Its reiteration by President Roosevelt gives
it the final stamp of authority.
Commenting on the message, "The Pont" to
morrow will say:
That part of the message relating to Cuba is
hardly all that whs expected by those who
thought that the present opposition to the Presi
dents Cuban plane would call forth an appeal
Btrongw than usual tor the prompt evacuation
the island and tlie restoration of the Cuban
Republic. Is the President getting lukewarm re
garding Cuba? Possibly not, but whether or
not, there is certainly not that rlns of enthusi
asm in his words regarding Cuba always notice
able in his utterances.
"La Discusion." commenting on the decree '
ipsued by Governor Magoon vacating the seats
of all members of the second series of the Cuban
Congress elected in 1905, says that this decree,
by the total extinction of Congress and the an
nouncement of a general election at a future
date, sets forth clearly that the actual Cuban
pvobton la now to be considered In all lt.s
aspects. Tha essence of the document inspired
by the Washington administration, while com
plying with the agreement Witt tho insurgent?.
la that the United States will now treat with
<"üba as a whole, will listen to the ■whole coun
try ard invite all classes to express their opin
ion? as to the best settlement of the problem.
This is Just, it la democratic, and beyond doubt
it offers the only solution to the problem.
The executive committee of the Liberal party
m«^t this evening to discuss the Magoon decree.
It adjourned without action for the purp*e of
awaiting the furthpr development of public
< I>inl"ii. A manifesto praiping the decree pre
pared by Alfredo Zayas in behalf of the Liberal
party, has been withheld. General Carlos Oar
ria y Velez salu to-day he greatly dtplored the
Intimation In the decree that the elections posi
tively would not be held until next December.
It was Impossible for any political party to
endure such protracted BU9pense, he said, but
he trusted that events would Justify the provi
sional government In holding elections before
that date.

Comment of English Paper on Sig
nificance of Message.
London, Deo. s.— President Roosevelt's mes
sage to the American Congress occupies the
most prominent place in tho leading newspapers
this morning, and has attracted widespread at
tention from government officials, diplomatists
iu;d the public. The prevailing tone of the com
ment is favorable, particularly with reference to
the President's statements on the Japanese
question, tlit- newspapers emphasizing the Presi
dent's warning of a possible use of the federal
forces for the protection of Japanese. This feat
ure of the message has given especial satisfac
tion in official Japanese quarters, where it Is
point' d out that Japan Is satisfied to await the
outcome of the Issue between the state and fed
eral authorities.
Th.- Dally Telegraph" says the President
■paalrs out reso'utely and fearlessly, knowing
that the democracy likes a man who Is not
afraid to be its master.
"The Standard" says that the most significant

PARIS APPROVES PAPER.
Firmness and Clear Vision Praised
by Press.
Paris, I>ec. B.— The morning papers generally
do not comment upon President Roosevelt's
message to the American CongTeas, but they
give to it the most prominent place on their
pa^es, and publish dispatchesVrom New York
stating that there is a feeling of dissatisfaction
over the President's references to the Ban Pran
clsco situation.
Tho "Petit Parlslen" says President Roosevelt
accentuates his continued efforts for peace and
justice by discountenancing the attitude of the
people of the Pacific Coast.
The "Figaro" 6 ays:
President Roosevelt does not hesitate to con

CANADA CLINGS TO SEAL RIGHTS.
New British Ambassador May Help Clear Up
Bering Situation.
■London. Deo. 4. — President Roosevelt's refer
ence in his message to Congress to the negotia
tions between the United States and Great Brit
ain on Bering Bea affairs relates to tlie long
pending efforts made to protect adequately the
seal herd?. The negotiations have been con
ducted chiefly at Washington with the co-opera
tion of the American Embassy here, and appear
to be part of a general plan to close some out
standing questions in which Canadian interests
are involved.
The ret - % nt trend of the negotiations has been
toward having Canada relinquish such rights as
she poaaessea in the Boring Sea, In considera
tion for adequate compensation or concessions in
other pending questions. However, these ex
changes have not made any notable advance, as
Canada regards her rights in the Bering Sea
in the light of a national asset, and while dis
posed to make a reasonable adjustment, she does
not appear to bs ready to give up her Interests
on the basis of the concessions thus far tenta
tively proposed. Tho negotiations therefore lack
recent definite development, although the gov
ernment officials here hop>j that the appointment
of a new ambassador to the United States may
lead to the clearing up of this and other pending
questions.

TO TRANSFER MR. WHITE
He Will Become Ambassador at
Paris — Mr, Griscom for Rome.
Washington. Dec. 4. — Henry White, American
Ambassador to Rome, will be transferred soon
from that post to Paris, where ha will suc
ceed Robert S. McCormlck as ambassador. Mr.
White will be succeeded at Rome by Lloyd C.
Griscom, now American Ambassador to HraziL
It is stated that beyond these changes the
President has not definitely settled upon the
persons who are to be appointed to fl.ll the
vacancies caused by the promotions and ex
changes. Charles Pag© Bryan, of Illinois, the
Minister to Portugal, has been mentioned in
connection with the post of Ambassador to
Brazil, which will be made vacant by th« trans
fer of Mr. Griscom to Rome. Mr. Bryan was
formerly Minister to Brazil, and his assignment
to Portugal was in the nature of a promotion.
As the Brazilian post has since been raised to
an embassy, his return to Rio would Ilkewl3e
be a decided promotion.
The vacancy at St. Petersburg, which will
result from the transfer of Ambassador Meyer
to tho Cabinet, will probably be filled by the
promotion of a person now !n the diplomatio
service with the rank of minister, though the
change will not be made until next spring, In
order to await the retirement from the Cabinet
of Secretary Shaw and the transfer to tho
Treasury of Postmaster General Cortelyou,
which will afford the necessary place for Mr.
Meyer.

Southern Senators Fear Interference
tcith States' Rights.
fFrom Tttu Tribune Bureau.]
■Washington, Dec. 4.— There Is a general dis
position among the Southern Democratic mem
bers of the Senate to fly to the rescue of Cali
fornia and to oppose vigorously any effort the
administration may make to coerce the people
of that state into admitting Japanese pupils
into the same schools with white children.
Senator Rayner, who introduced In the Sen
ate to-day resolutions on this subject, believes
that he will have the entire minority behind
him. He 13 preparing a speech on the subject
which he believes will create considerable ex
citement, provided he is not compelled to deliver
It in executive se3slon. The Democrats see in
what they believe to be the Intended course of
the President a radical Interference with states'
rights, and they probably fear the establishment
of a precedent which might be used to compel
them to grant social equality to the Negroes.
Senator Rayner's resolutions are aa follows;
Resolved. That In the opinion of the Senate
this government has no rluht to enter Into any
controversy with any foreign government relat
ing to tho public school system of any of the
states in the Union;
Resolved, further, That it is the opinion of
the Senate that there is no provision In the
treaty between the United States and the gov
ernment of Japan that relates in any manner to
this subject or In any way Interferes with the
right of the State of California to conduct and
administer its system of public schools In ac
cordance with its own legislation; and
Resolved, further, That it Is the duty of the
President of the United States to notify the
government of Japan and to notify any foreign
government with which th<> question may arise
that the public educational institutions of the
states are not within the Jurisdiction of the
United States and that the United States has
no power to regulate or supervise their admin
istration.

No Harm in Action of Japanese, Washington
Officials Say.
fFrom Ttn» Trlbuiu* Uureau 1
Washington, Dec. 4 —A report that the Japan
ese government had sent agents to Urooklyn to
learn the secret of the Bliss-Leavltt torpedo was
Circulated In Washington tills afternoon, and
occasioned some excitement among the hysteri
cal although It was laughed at by naval officials
and others. At tho -Navy Department It was
Bam that the Japanese naval attache, accom
panied by a Japanese naval engineer ht»l re
cently visited the Brooklyn navy yard, with the
permission of the Navy Department, such visits
being customary and a part of tho courtesies
extended by all governments to Jho naval at
taches of friendly nations.
The officials had no knowledge of Japanese
having visited the BUas-l«eavltt torpedo works,
nil were disposed to doubt the story. These
iks are not under the government and Japan
ese officers would lie entirely at liberty to visit
them if the proprietors were willing, but •■»* i'<*

PLAN TO DEFY GOiII'ERS.
Home Leaders Likely to Support
Only Anti-Injunction Bill.
[From The Tribune Bureau.]
Washington. Dec. 4. — There is a disposition
among tho House leaders to throw down tho
gauntlet to Mr. Gompers, president of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, and the programme
which Is being: seriously discussed Is to report
unfavorably from the Committee on Judiciary
every labor measure but tho Gilbert Aiiti-Injuno
t!on bill and to report that favorably. Tha Gil
bert bill, which Is well known, will, with a few
amendments, accord with the President's views
and will doubtless be carried through as aji ad
ministration measure.
The Speaker and other leadera of the Hous«
are- delighted with the manner In which the
President handled labor and the subject of in
junctions In hie message, and thf-y bf-lleve that
to follow up his recommendations In a fearless,
manly way, to report, discuss and reject all of
the radical labor bilis. and then to pass the »;::
bert bill, with such amendments as are necessary
to bring It into entire accord with the Presi
dent's views, will prove by far the wisest method
of dealing with this troublesome question.
The members of the Judiciary Committee are
known to be in perfect harmony with the House
leaders, and there Is ample reason to believe that
the Senate will accept tho measure approved by
the President and passed by the House, while
It is felt that to vote for this measure arvl
against all others will work no possible injury
to members of the House.
