offered his remarks in the nature of a

assertion." He decried the fact that war
was hell and stated that this assertion
was simply a byword which should be
relegated to the. past. He pictured war
as the supreme court of arbitration.

WASHINGTON. Jan. IS.— The United
States Supreme Court again to-day re
affirmed the ruling made in the case of
Carter V3. the State- of Texas, to the
effect that the exclusion of negroes
from Grand Juries in cases involving
criminal charges against members oZ
their race, is Li violation of the con
stitution and therefore not permissible.
The decision was delivered by Justice
Holmes in tha case of a resident of
Alabama narced Rogers, who was in
dicted for murder by a Grand Jury
composed entirely of white men and
from which it is chargsd that ai!
negroes were excluded because of their
color. Ths Supreme Court of the State
upheld the regularity of the proceed
iigs. but Rogers brought it to the Fed
eral court on a writ of error, with the
result that the decision or the State
court was re**erssd and the case re
manded to the State courts for further
proceedings, not inconsistent with to
day's opinion.
The opinion was based on the Carter
case. In which it was held that "the
exclusion of all persons of the African
race from a Grand Jury which finds an
indictment against a negro in a State
court, when they are excluded solely
because cf race or color, denies him
The inauguration of the new rates
is expected to be followed shortly by
the adoption of an Increased tariff on

inite date has ye: been set for a con
sideration of the advances.
Several of the new ratss that wens
originally Included in the tariff sched
ule that went into eiTect yesterday
have already been changed as a result
of protests from shippers who wer»
able to satisfy the railroad companies
that the industries to which they ap
plied would be seriously aSTected.
It Is expected that* further changes
will be made, but to what extent ia
only a matter for sr^cvilation.

Russia recognizes Japan's predomi
nance ia Korea and Japan recognizes
i Russia's special position in Manchuria.
j There are two main Questions still at
1 issue — the Russian demand for a neu
tral zone upon the Korean side of the
Talu River, which Japan met with a
proposal for a similar strip on the Man
; churian side. Japan also asks for cer
i tain guarantees covering Manchuria,
i which Russia thus far has declined to
; grant. It is pointed out. however, that
I the assurances given a few days ago by
Russia regarding open ports in Man
churia and respect for treaty rights 13
a concession on this point.
That the two countries are not so far
apart may be fairly inferred from the
following statement made by Kurino,
the Japanese Minister:
"War would now only be disastrous
\ to both countries. Owing to the gao
< graphical situation armed conflict
[would result in a great drain on the
I men and treasure of both, Japan and
I Russia without being decisive. Besides
i I believe it would not be worth whil»
j to* go to war on the questions still in
j dispute.**
There is a strong Indication that.
! through the Czar's personal acts, the
• peace party is completely in the as
,' cendant. Bezobrazoff. the head of the
i war party, has grone abroad: Foreign
'. Minister Lamsdorff, who from the-be
| ginning has favored peace, 13 now com
pletely rehabilitated, and Viceroy Alex
} if- ff ha3 been made subservient to the
j Foreign Office In the Russo-Japanese
| negotiations. His extensive powers are
j curtailed and he can make no move
I without the Czar's personal approval.
i In fact the fresh assurance conveyed
j through Embassador Cassini to the
j authorities in Washington of the recog
| nltion of the tights acquired by the
I Chinese treaty is largely attributed «to
' Count Lamsdorff's Influence. Diplo
matic circles regard Count Lamsdorffa
conduct of the negotiations under the
Czar's direction as a very hopeful sign.
Another strong influence on the side
of peace has been the attitude of
Witte, president of the Council of
State, who has been bending his ener
gies toward avoiding a conflict.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. IS.— The

Morgan supported his written state
ment with a brief speech and was im
mediately followed by Daniel with a
resolution declaring against the policy
of reporting any treaty or bill until
each member shall have offered any
amendments he may desire to present.
Senator Daniel declared that the
course of the committee had been both
precipitate and unfair and urged, that
th*> treaty should be recommitted for
further consideration.
Replies were made by Senators Cul
lom. Spooner and Allison. Speaking
as chairman of the Committee on For
eign Relations. Cullom said that the
treaty had been in committee for al
most a month before it was taken up.
He conceded that during the greater
portion of this time Congress was not
In session, but said he had called the
committee to meet on the first regular
meeting: 'lay after the Senate convened
and that at his instance it had been
holding daily sessions most of the time
¦ince. He declared that very careful
cor.siiiera.tlon had been given to all the
details connected with the treaty, and
said that instead of precipitancy being
manifested the committee had given
the utmost consideration to all sug
gestions for amendments and had
adopted some of them.
Ko action was taken on Daniel*3
resolution or Morgan's protest, but be
fore the Senate adjourned Cullctn- gave
notice that he would ask the Senate
to take up the treaty tOi-morrow or
"Wednesday, and. until disposed of, to
consider it from day to day to the ex
clusion of other business.
during the greater part of the present
session, the Panama canal treaty was
not reported until to-day. It had no
sooner been reported favorably to the
Senate in executive session than it be
came the subject of heated contro
versy. Senator Cullom made the re
port in favor of the treaty, whereupon
Senator Morgan, as a member of the
committee, at once entered a formal
protest against the acceptance of the
report, oa the ground that when the
committee decided to report the treaty
an amendment was still under con
sideration, and that he had not had
time to present an amendment looking
to the striking out of article 22 of the
treaty, in which Panama renounces
her right to participation in the earn
ings of the canal wherv built.
Majority members of the committee
say that .for two weeks the treaty has
been under discussion and they felt
that amp!* time had been given to it3
consideration.
ent. The former voted agaisst the
treaty and Money said that he had not
yet had time to consider it, as it was
the first meeting of the committee he
had been able to attend.
The three amendments relate to san
itation, limitation of cities and control
of harbors. The United States, by the
amendment relating: to sanitation, is
granted more direct power in all sani
tary regulations. The amendment con
cerning the limitation cf cities more
specifically defines the limits of Pan
ama, and Colon in relation to the canal
zone. The harbor amendment gives
the United States control of the har
bors for the purposes of improvement.
On Saturday at the meeting of the
Foreign Relations Committee Senator
Lodge offered a motion, which was
agreed to, providing' that at the next
meeting of the committee the pending
amendments should be disposed cf and
the question cf reporting the treaty to
the Senate taken up. Members of the
minority say that none of their mem
bers were present when the motion o*
Senator Lodge was adopted- To-day
when the committee met the absentees
were Senators Foraker, Bacon. Clark
(Mont.). Clark (Wye), and McCreary.
All the amendments were subject to
final acticn. though one or two had
been tentatively agreed to.
After they had fceen incorporated in
the treaty to-day Morgan moved to
strike out article 12. of the treaty,
which provides for the completion of
negotiations with the new Panama
Canal Company for their rights and
concessions en the isthmus. Senator
Lodge insisted that this pas not a
rending amendment under the resolu
tion adopted on Saturday, and it was
ruled out of order. An amendment had
been prepared by Senators Bacon and
Foraker relating to appeals to United
States courts in certain cases arising in
the canal zone. This was voted down.
Senator Morgan protested against this
action, saying that the amendment
should not be acted uson in the absence
cf Senators who had offered it. Pro
test also was made by the minority
against the cutting oft cf opportunity
to vote rn the amendment striking out
article 22.
