WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. President Roosevelt Informed several members ot congress yesterday that he would not con sider the appointment of any other man to the office of commissioner of pensions until he had received final answer from Major William Warner of Missouri, to whom a proffer of the position had been made. The entire Nebraska delegation In the senate and house of representatives called to urge the appointment of Judge Lee Estelle of the Nebraska state Judiciary, and Representative Rodenber of Illinois urged the appointment of Representative Vespasian Warner of Illinois. Cunningham Calls I'poa Brlatow. Frank II. Cunningham, president of the National Rural Letter Carriers' associa tion, who has been under investigation by the Postofflce deportment with reference to charges of political activity, has called at the Postofflce department to explain hit case. Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Brlstow told him to submit his state ment through a postofflce Inspector. Drawback oa Exported Floar. Secretary Shaw and Assistant Secretary Armstrong are preparing regulations under a section of the present tariff law which will allow millers a drawback on exported fiour made of Import! wheat mixed with domestic wheat. Up to this time millers have been ablo to operate only under the provisions of the law which permits the exportation of flour made from Imported wheat brought Into this country In bonded cars, ground In bonded mills nnd taken out of the country constantly, under cus toms supervision and at the expense of the mills. The law also requires that the by-products, such as bran, middlings, etc., shall be exported. In consequence of the fact that these by-products bring a better price In the United States than In Canada, the millers have frequently suffered los by the transaction. The secretary finds no difficulty In affording the millers the same relief that is enjoyed by the smelters In the matter of Imported ores except In determining the exact amount ot flour produced from a given quantity of Im ported wheat by each Individual mill, ai It is well known that some mills produce appreciably more than others. Another factor, however. Is the determination of the quantity of by-products produced by each mill, such Information being Indis pensable In calculating the amount of drawback to be allowed on the exported fiour alone. The new regulations, It is thought, will be ready for promulgation early the com ing week. Considers statehood BUI. The senate commltte on territories was In session two hours yesterday considering the Joint statehood bill and adjourned to meet again Monday without action on any part of the bill. The people of Arizona have made protest against the feature of the bill which consolidates that territory with New Mexico as one state and have asked for a hearing, which the committee evinces a disposition to grant. Senator Balrd of California, a member of thecommittee today announced his oppo sition to consolidation, -.expressing the opinion that statehood should not be forced on the people of Arizona in opposition to their wishes and saying that the failure of the bill Is preferable to Its passage in Its present Bhape. As the committee now stands, It consists of six republican and four democratic members, and If the four democrats oppose the measure, as Is ex pected they will, the vote of the committee will be a tie. This result can be averted, however, by filing the republican vacancy on the committee caused by the death of Senator Quay and It Is expected that this action will be taken. The bill probably will not be reported until after the holiday re cess. Will Ask to Advance Cases. The solicitor general will today present to the supreme court of the United States a motion for the advancement of the hearing of the rases of J. A. Benson, F. A. Hyde and H. P. Dlmond, now pending In that court on proceedings Instituted by these men. In an effort to avoid the re moval of their cases to the courts of the District of Columbia for trial. They were Indicted In the supreme court of the dis trict for conspiracy to defraud the govern ment In connection with the entry of pub lic lands on the Pacific coast. , As president of the Interparliamentary sourl yesterday brought to the attention of aourl today brought to the attention of Secretary Hay the resolution adopted by the union at St. Louis September IS urging the powers which signed The Hague treaty of arbitration to Intervene for the stoppage of fbe war between Russia and Japan. Mr. Bartholdt suggested the propriety of the United States taking the initiative In urging a cessation of hostilities and he pointed out that the treaty, which was signed by Russia and originally suggested by that power, contained a provision that Intervention by a third power should not be considered an unfriendly act. He con tended that In resenting the proposal for mediation Russia had violated not only the spirit, but the letter of this com pact. Secretary Hay promised to bring the action of the union to the attention of the president at an early date. In accordance with the agreement arrived at when the resolution was adopted It will be presented to the authorities of all the powers which signed the treaty. Following Is the full text of the resolu tion as translated from the original French and presented to Mr. Hay: The Interparliamentary conference shocked by the horrors of the war which Is now being waged In the extreme orient between two civilised nations and regret ting that the signatory powers of The Hague treaty have failed to remember the clauses which Invite them to offer mediation on the otitbreak of hostilities, now request those signatory powers of The Hague treatv to intervene either collec tively or individually between the belliger ents In order to hasten the re-establtah-ment of neace and direct the Interparlia mentary bureau to bring this resolution to the knowledge of said powers. NO EXTRA SESSION IN SPRING Presldeat Announces Declsloa as to the Matter of Calling Congress. WASHINGTON, Dec. II. No extraordi nary session of congress will be held next spring for a revision of the tariff. That haa been decided definitely. The question of an extraordinary session next fsll Is In abeyance. President Roosevelt announced this de cision to his callers today. The president said he had abandoned any Idea of calling congress Into extraordinary session in the spring, as It did not seem practicable to hold a session for tariff re vision at that time. He Indicated, how ever, thut he might call a session for next fall, although no absolute determination of thut point yet has been reached. In view of thla decision the president told Representative Cooper of Texas that be hsd decided to make a southern trip neat spring. JAPAN STATESITS POSITION Foreign OHIee Makes Statement as to rr.ps.es International Peace Conference. TOKIO, Dec 11 The Foreign office has Issued the following statement on the posi tion which the Japanese government has taken In regard to the proposed Interna- j tional peace conference: An Invitation from the president of the United States, having been received by the government of Japan at Tokio on De cember 1. o take part In the proposed second International peace conference, th government at once replied to the effect that, being fully alive to the urgent ne cessity for more exact definitions and uni form practices than now exist, in respect to some of the questions about to be sub mitted to the proposed conference, end find that the fact that the nation Is now engaged In war Is not sufficient reason why it should not take part In the work , of the conference. It has been decided upon the part of the Japanese government to a"cept the Invitation. This action Is taken however, with the distinct reservation that the proposed con ference shall not assume to adopt any measure which will In any way affect the present conflict.
