ITALIAN BARK WITH A CARGO OF SULPHUR SEIZED WILL PAR- LIAMENT ASSEMBLE TWO WEEKS EARLIER THAN EX PECTED? London, Jan. 12. News from South Africa grows less and less every day.

Washington, Jan. 11. The substance of the answer of England to the repre sentations of the United States con cerning the seizure of flour at Delagoa bay was received today from1 Ambas sador Choate. England! concedes the principles which the United States sought to have established in regard to the inviolability from seizure of neu tral goods in time of war and goes fur ther by acknowledging that foodstuffs destined for an enemy's country are ex empt from seizure or detention when not intended! for the enemy's military force. The illegality of the detention of foodstuffs on two of the vessels con cerned is admitted. This assures the payment of damages for the seizure. Mr. Choate says: "This virtually concedes, the' Ameri can contention that the goods were not subject to seizure and practically dis avows the seizure." With regafldi to the seizure of food stuffs on board the steamship Beatrice, Choate says that England deferred an answer pending a definite determina tion of the ownership, the question be ing raised as to whether the ownership of the flour on that vessel had not passed from the American consigners. England assumes responsibility for the payment of dlamages for detention of the Beatrice's flour and therefore no loss will ensue toeither consigners or consignees.

SKIRT SLASHER MAY GO TO JAIL FOR TEN YEARS Washington, Jan. 11.

' PETTIGREW WOULD NOT LISTEN TO HAVING HIS RESOLUTION WITHDRAWN CENSUS BILL is CALLED UP AND PASSED. Washington, Jan. 11. The feature of the proceedings in the senate today was the debate on iSenator PettieTew'a resolution calling ror information re garding the alleged interview between the Filipino general, Torres, and Gen eral Otis, at which the former, it is alipged, requested a cessation of hotll- l.' es. Previous to the commencement of the debate Senator Lodge suggested the withdrawal of Senator Pettigrew s resolution and Senator Lodge's substi tute therefor, and urged that the ouft offered by Senator Hoar, covering the s.-'me subject, with c-jr'.a'.n amendments ceJMng for'other Fil'pmo c-mimunica-ti .ns, be adopted. In his remarks on the subject Senator Lodge referred to the efforts made to influence American soldiers in Manila as 'dabbling in treason." Senator Rollins suggested that if the ' resolution was to be burdened hy not make it Include all preliminary n- ; , gotiations with tbe insurgents before the 'war began ?v Senator Lodge said that was what he was trying to procure at "full and' complete account of all occurrences from January 1, 1898. Senator. Hoar expressed a concur rence in this, provided the correspond ence between the president and Phil- ippine commission was included. -' Sen ator Pettigrew, however, insisted) on his ' o?n resolution, and' in his speech charged the imperialists with con foa.iding the American people witn "their puny president." He declared the people had a right to know what the resolutions request ed. He asserted that Aguinaldo's own efforts to restore peace had been cen sored out of General Otis' reports. He asked what was the use of quib bling about what started the war when the president's proclamation In "all its brutal phrases" asserting the sovereignty of the United States pre cluded peace. Senator Pettigrew insisted upon sep arate action upon his resolution. He referred feelingly to the manner in which the resolution of December 14 . was shelved on the ground that it would be immediately telegraphed to the insurgents, but in reality to prevent " the American people from knowing the facts. Mr. Pettigrew said: "The resolution of Senator Lodge should . J read, 'if not incompatible with the interests of the candidate . for re-election. The whole con- duct of the administration senators here," said Mr. Pettigrew, "is In the line of the policy of concealing' news and suppressing facts." Mr. Pettigrew charged that vital parts were suppressed in Otis report, that news of the Sulu treaty was sup pressed until the Ohio election, and that Otis had altered the president's proclamation before he issued it; that Otis defrauded the Filrpons and the administration and had humbugged the American people. During his remarks Pettigrew referred to the insurgent government as a "sister republic." Continuing he referred to the letter of R. H. Collins, the Associated Press correspondent in Manila, about the Strict censorship in Manila as further proof 'that the administration was seeking to keep the trutn rrom tne -American people.' Pettigrew said he refttsed to leave to the president's dis cretion the question of answering in terrogatories. . An American who woultf suppress the truth from the public would not hesitate to conceal facts from the serrate. He closed by declaring that if he "was a Filipino he would fight until he was ray, if not killed before, against "this unholy, Infamous aggression." - The house bllltto: define aasd -te the standard of values was taken np, the morning - hour haying , expired and Stewart spoke thereon.
