The cau * cus o the republican members of the house was held in the hall of repre sentatives Monday afternoon a nd lastld about three hoursSpeaker Henderson and the old officers of the house were made the unanimous choice of the caucus and the. major portion of the time was devoted to an effort , led by Representative Hepburn of Iowa , to effect some nanges in the ' rules of the last house. Mr. Hepburn has made a similar fight for the lib eralizing of the rules at the opening of each-congress for a number of years , but , without success , and today he was agan unsuccessful. Mr. Cannon of Illnos presded over the delberations of the Caucus and Mr. Loudenslager of New Jersey act ed as secretary. There were 163 of the 198 republican members of the house present. Mr. Lacey of Iowa placed General Henderson in nomination for j speaker and he was unanimously cho- < sen.as the candidate for the caucus. He was escorted to the chair by a committee consisting of Mr. Payne of New York , Mr. Tawney of Minnesota and "Mr. Lacey of Iowa. In response to a very enthusiastic reception , Mr. Hen derson addressed the members of the caucus as follows : SPEAKER'S ADDRESS. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives : To be called "V by your command a 'second time to ii the highest office which under the constitution it will be possible for me si to occupy is an honor which words will e : not enable me to bear testimony to sufficiently. To the old members who have served with me for years and when acting in a1hi the capacity of the presiding officer , I hi must most grateful is express my appre ciation of the confidence you have tl placed in 'me and the unbroken influ tlhi ence , without any effort on my part , hi to bring me again to the chair of this re house , and to the new members who tcm acquiesced in what seems to be the m sentiment of the old members andof es the country , I want to express my of grateful thanks. re The duties before us in this congress dc will be onerous ones : The republican de party never stands still , but keeps at is ; work. The last congress , which start th ed in with thirteen majority , has been its so far approved that the republican be party has again been put in control , starting in with thirty-nine majority. thm This shows the appreciation of the w American people and is a tribute to oc the wisdom of the last congress. GRAVE PROBLEMS AHEAD. We are confronted now with work f\rhich will affect the minds of the peo ple at the elections next year. Every Le republican will be upon his mettle. We Ba will expect the same from the opposi dis tion. There is always more activity of ; at every congress preceding a congres SUi sional election than at any other time. SOI We will require all of the wisdom we jui possess and all of the patriotism , for ne we have a great danger to confront us iou continually , and that is the th surplus in the treasury. I appeal die to my colleagues , republicans , to keep be ; in mind that this is a danger and if we can be wise in the presence of JU that danger we will find approval from the the1 American people. The American am people do not expect any niggardli cas ness from the treatment of the mat era ters that . I do not they require. coun wh sel that , but I counsel that conserva ing tive consideration of every question tes which should be observed at all times ma without reference to the $ $100,000,000 Th that we are soon to have. ter URGES FAITHFUL ATTENDANCE. the One thing more. In the Jast con me gress'with our smaller majority at a sits ; caucus like this , I appealed to the bee members to be on hand at the sessions sel I of the house. The man who is most ina faithful in his place during the ses sions will find in the long run that PRI his constituents will be most faithful to him , ' and do not think that with the larger majority we can afford to Jer be absent from our places. I don't ask Ok forcaucus expressions on this subject , but I appeal to every member present Pn that this is important to each mem ber of the house. The people of the pla country have put the republicans in tha control of this house. They expect much from us , and if we can sink lo Ok cality for country we will find appro am val when we go back to meet our con amC stituencies. I therefore , appeal for ma wisdom and for work and for the con stant presence of the members of the to republican party. Remember that this ter Is the" place after hour of meeting Okl sacli day. * wa Gentlemen , with a full and grateful heart , I thank you for this manifesta ing tion of your confidence and whether I tim am successful or not will depend upon he your feeling free to give me your counsel , each and all , and give to the con country that support which every true sto soldier should give to his flag. I thank bar yoii. km It is stated by an authority that the 11 [ weight of a man's brain has nothing mo to do with his mental power.

For at laest two reasons , the Fifty-seventh congress , the first session1 of which be gan Monday , will be notable in history In the first place , the appropriations ' that will be authorized "by it , If the projected program is adopted , will be greatly in excess 6f those of any pre ceding congress. Ten years ago the "billion dollar" congress furnished a text for econo mists , and , incidentally , great political capital for the demcc- - . The record for the coming congrc s will be near $2,000,000,000 , ' so vast has been "the growth of the country and ii3 nccus. If for no other reason than that liberal expenditures are to be made for public works , the coming session will be rmearkable. But it will have other claims as a history maker , if , as now seems probable , provision is made for starting the construction of the inter- oceanic canal. The inauguration of this great work will in itself be epoch- making. It is expected that this congress will adopt the Hay-Pauncefote treaty ; pass the bill appropriating money to begin work on the canal ; reduce the Internal revenue taxes ; increase the navy ; provide for the improvement of rivers und harbors ; establish a new department of government called the department of commerce ; provide lib eral appropriations for public build ings ; adopt legislation regarding the Philippines ; extend the act prohibiting the immigration of Chinese .Jaborers ; pass laws making an attempt on the life of the president an offense of high degree j ; adopt eulogies on the late President McKinley ; provide the widow with $5,000 pension yearly ; give her the franking privilege during life and pay the bills of the physicians attend ing the martyred president during his last illness. 5ENERALWOOD ARRIVES AT CAPITAL , Washington , D. C. , Dec. 3. General Wood has arrived here. Accompany- ng him were Mrs. Wood and Lieuten- int McCoy. The'general will spend several days in Washington'in confer- nce : with the president and the sec- of war regarding affairs in Since his last 'trip to Washington , ibout two months ago , General Wood tas traveled over practically the whole sland of Cuba and he is able to give he officials here a complete idea of he people's needs. He will reiterate e is recommendations of the need of a eduction of the duties on sugar and * obacco by the United States govern- lent. General Wood believes this nec- ssary for the financial rehabilitation a f the island and to prevent the recur- ° ence of conditions which existed un- er Spanish rule. v Pie will urge earnestly on the presi- ent and the secretary of war that it the duty of the government , now ; tiat it has taken the Cubans under s protection , to encourage them to ecome self-supporting and enable le mto continue the good work of ; ' laintaining ; the excellent" conditions : hich ] have resulted from American : fcupation.

It was "prove nto the , president at Jenkins had accepted stock in the clahoma Sanitarium company to the lount of $10,000. 3ne of the governor's duties is to ar ike a contract with some company > care for the insane people of the bi rritory.

Paris.Dec. 3. The South African war continues to engross attention. Re cent revelations by French officers and newspaper correspondents of the hor- rors of the concentration camps , in which Boer noncombatants are dying like flies , has prompted thousands of petitions , covered with signatures , de manding that the French government interfere. Another movement of this sort is an eloquent open letter to President Roosevelt , which is being circulated all over France for signatures. The purport Is that he alone can initiate a diplomatic movement to "stop the British nation from treating Boer pa triots like criminals and secure for a poor people the right to defend their invaded country. " In compliance with an order issued by the socialist international board , that wherever the socialists are repre sented in parliament the government should be asked why it has not applied The Hague convention in the case of the Boers , Deputy Fournier has been delegated to raise that point here. M. Fournier has already notified Foreign Minster Delcasse that he will demand an explanation of the French governl ment's construction of the arbitration tand mediation clauses adopted by tffe peace congress. Both chambers are overwhelmingly against the war in South Africa. WHAT THE WAR COSTS BRITAIN , lbndon , Dec. 3. The $1,000,000,000 which the South African war will have cost when parliament meets in Janu ary fails to represent what England has lost by this adventure. The Bank ers' magazine , taking 325 representa tive securities , finds that between Sep tember 18 , 1899 , and October 19 , 1901 , their net fall in value has been $719- 730,000. Again , during the period nam ed , certain foreign government and American stocks rose $235,000,000 , while the British and Indian government > funds fell $381,960,000. The drop in these in the month ending October 19 alone was $42,626,000. In two years the ordinary stock in nineteen British rail cl ways has shrunk $39,460,000. ) In short , the aggregate fall in four n teen British and Indian funds and for- si y-six selected railway companies' se- 01tl jurlties has been $870,645,000 , and the tla ; tendency of these so-called gilt-edged a securities is still downward. Among al he few securities not adversely af- isOJ 'ected by the war are shipping ( owing OJ o a false stimulus imparted by un exampled transport operations ) , canal , lock and colonial bank stocks. F BOERS WOULD ONLY STAND. Nothing could well be more helpless- y despondent that the latest dispatch- is from the Times correspondent at 3retorla on the progress of the war.p. . -p. le says : "The enemy never remains tc o be attacked. By means of scouts tcw lotted all over the country , informa- te ion reaches them of the movements ft if our columns , and they generally are ble to move off before our troops lil ome up. "On the other hand , the separate a ommandoes , as is the case in South- ast Transvaal , are near enough to- ether to concentrate in twenty-four ours so as to become equal Jn num- er to our columns. If the enemy , emained divided in three or four com.- , . landoes of several thousand each the -ork of running them to earth would e comparatively easy , but as things - re no other course is open except to ontinue hustling them , gradually ex- ending the areas cleared. This work ndoubtedly will be slow , but sure , and to here is no justification for impatience. , towl 'he more men the commander-in-chief ag an put into the field the active army present is only some 45,000 the ooner will the end of the war come. " HEITFELD DESERTS THE POPULISTS. of es Boise , Idaho , Dec. 3. United States th enator Heitfeld of this state has ad- of ressed a letter to D. H. Andrews of bj his city , chairman of the populist be tate central committeee , announcing- st is withdrawal from the populist party CO COw nd his affiliation with the democratic w , arty. The letter says both the democratic M Mw nd people's parties are now striving w < r the same purpose and should com- iy ine. He asks Mr. Andrews to call fir ie state committee together , express- bi biuf ig the hope that it will approve his uf ction and unite with him in an affilia- th ion with the dominant element of the thwi emocratic party. wi Chairman Andrews indicated that he CO COwi id not approve of Senator Heitfeld's wim ction , and that he would reply to the m enator's letter instead of calling the tn ommittee together. 10' Edward Beaupre of the province of Bsiniboine , Canada , claims to be the .llest man in the world.

C. , Dec. 3. The sec retary of war has issued orders and sent them to Manila , ordering Govern or Taft home on leave of absence , so he can recuperate and regain health and strength. Governor Taft is to leave for the United States on the first transport available. At present there are no transports in Manila , but Kil- patrick is due there from New York ( .in , a day or two and will be ready to sail for home in about ten days. The Kilpatrick belongs to the New York line , but if Governor Taft desires to come on that vessel and does not care to go to New York , the Kilpat rick will be ordered to San Francisco. If the governor does not care to come on the Kilpatrick , the Grant will be ready to sail about the middle of De cember and the Meade will follow the Grant. While In this country Gov ernor Taft will be called to Washing ton to give the committees of congress information concerning necessary leg islation for the islands. Adjutant General Corbin has receiv ed the following cablegram from Gen eral Chaff ee : "Lieutenants Feeter and Wetherill , Nineteenth regiment , United States , in fantry , badly wounded with bamboo spikes in a pitfall near Carmen , Bohol. Feeter wounded in foot , Wetherill in thigh. Operation necessary to extract spikes. Second Lieutenant Smith also slightly injured. " First Lieutenant George I. Feeter is a native of New York. He entered the army as a second lieutenant in May , 1899. Second Lieutenant Richard Wetheral and Ira A. Smith were ap pointed from New York in same year. A NEW BLOW FOR AMERICAN MEAT , Berlin , Dec. 3. Symptoms of re newed l discrimination against Ameri can meat are manifest in the new im perial inspection laws , which , when passed , it is generally supposed , will affect domestic as well as foreign pro duce. The new laws will become ef fective April 1 , 1902 , but only as far as imported meat is concerned. The date on which German meat will be subjected to the rigid new system is left open. Just how this distinction has been reached is not explained , but the prophecy is made that the German v butchers will celebrate the fact with a substantial increase of prices. : Anti-American authorities , discussing the new regulations , declare that "ra- bional protection of the public against diseased flesh is once more a matter f hop'J. " Tietgens & Robertson , gen ol olh eral agents in Germany for Armour & h Jo. , telegraph as follows : tl tlw "The new law will absolutely ex- w lude pieces under four kilos' ( eight ounds' ) weight. The American trade n these goods is not specially exten sive , but very valuable. The feature of ' f the law providing for inspection at ei he boundaries of the country is desir- fc ible , but it makes possible a consider- tbly earlier examination of meat than s possible under the present system f inland inspection. " fo cc NS1STS THAT MISS STONE IS ALIVE. in reD D > Sofia , Dec. 3. According to a letter ed lated at Dubnitza , Miss Stone and er line. Tsilka are still alive. lil The letter further says that at a re- CO ent meeting of the committee held in in ubnitza it was definitely decided not o kill the prisoners upon any pretext * whatever. Nevertheless the commit- ee insisted upon the payment of the ' ull amount of the ransom. A naive suggestion is current in po- Ltical circles here to the effect that he United States should force Turkey ( r pay the balance of the ransom , and I soon as the prisoners are in safety arce Bulgaria to punish those persons 5. cli uiltv of their abduction. tr Cairo , Dec. 3.

' COLON HAS SURRENDERED. , f Americans Secure Surrender of tiie City tc Columbian Government , i Terrfls of the Agreement Reached In Conference on a Gunboat , Amnesty for Rebels. Colon , Dec. 3. Government . troops are now in peaceful possession of Co lon , and life and liberty have been guaranteed to the Colombian revolu tionists who seized the city last week. Under direction of representatives of the naval authorities of the United States the transfer of authority was made according to the agreernent reached on the gunboat Marietta. The manner in which this peaceful climax to a gravely threatening situa tion was reached is a striking com mentary upon the influence of the United States in the affairs of her sis ter republics in the western hemi- spere. spere.CAPTAIN CAPTAIN PERRY'S WORK. Captain Perry of the battleship Iowa , the I senior officer of the United States naval ] contingent now in Colombian waters , not only was the chief factor in I arranging the conference at which theliberals * agreed to surrender the city , but was also the official overseer at the carrying out of the agreement. Ever since the seizure of the city by the liberals after their surprise march , the American naval officers have been active in their efforts to secure a peaceful solution of the problem. Pend ing a settlement their marines have been on land to protect the rights of Americans , and this evidence of the determination of the United States to fulfill her treaty obligations and keep open the traffic across the isthmus has had an excellent effect upon both the warring factions. RECEIVE REBEL ARMS. Just before noon"this morning the signal was given on the American na- fal vessels' and a force of marines and sluejaekets landed from the Iowa , Ma- hias and Marietta. Marching to the 3arracks , they drew up in order and Lwaited the denouement of Colon's Irama. Senor de la Rosa , as representative > if the liberals , soon appeared at the lead of the insurgent forces , , and as he little band marched by the arms I vere laid down close to where Captain Jerry stood. Grouped about as intert sted witnesses were the American , lii British and French consuls in their li libt 'fficial capacity , while the sympathiz- bt rs with the liberals were present in orce , but making no demonstration. SURRENDER TO ALBAN. a. a.PI Early in the afternoon General Al- PI an , commander of the government ; orces , arrived from Panama , and his omingwas the signal for the last act the drama. Senor de la Rosa , as the tl epresentative of General Domingo iaz : , whose secretary he is , surrender- it d his soldiers and received from Gen- tl ral Alban the promise of life and ri berty which had been exacted at the riSs anference as a condition of the change Ss rule. be behe The bravery of De la Rosa and the he nyielding determination of many of se le liberals to keep up their struggle tu tum 'as evidenced by this declaration m hen he handed his sword to General Iban : re "I accept the conditions of the trea- to safeguard the lives and liberty Pfl my soldiers in Colon. As for my rother and myself , we personally de- ine to accept the conditions of this fe eaty. " SYMPATHIZE WITH REBELS. As the sword was passed to General : Iban a signal was given to the gov- ry nment gunboat Pinzon , anchored in an ic harbor , and noisy notes on her ighorn marked the triumph. There as no answering jubilation in the ; tyt though , because the majority of sp le < residents sympathize with the in- ac irgents , who have gained additional en estige < by their conduct while in pos- tu ssion of the city. A little band of American marines- he imains guarding the piers and tht tw abroad stations , but the act is a mere irmality. As far as Colon is con- jrned , all trouble in Colombia is now ilieved to be over. * A detachment of marines from the na rench cruiser Suchet is on the propPr < ty of the French Canal company , but for le move indicates no hostility. Colom- wo ans and Europeans alike seem con- tio nt to place their interests under the 3 otection of the United States. taJ ' M'C Thousands of Perch. 3W eat Watervliet , Mich. , Dec. 3.

More than wo scores of lives were lost in a col- ision between the ferry boats Sausa- ite and San Rafael. The exact num- er of dead is not known , but is be- ieved to be forty-two. The San Rafael was plowing Its way icross . the bay in a dense fog which revailed when she ran into the Sau- alite , both boats striking bows on. The San Rafaql was the worst in ured. It began to fill at once after he collision and in a few moments had unk. The mortality is greater than would have been through the fact hat ; a number of the passengers were iding inside the vessel. Tugs went to the assistance of the SausaliteAwhile a number of small oats at once started for the scene to ielp in the work of rescuing the pas- engers.
