WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. A note of warning to European powers which by indirect means continue to dis criminate against American trade; a strong appeal . to the Congress . to up lift the. great foreign policies of Amer ica above mere questions of partisan ship ; a triumphant vindication of the diplomacy of the administration, which is characterized as. that of "dol lars versus bullets;" a masterful, pride in the enormous, expansion of Ameri can trade as a result of the foreign policies of his administration; and an earnest ; appeal for joint j action - by Congress and the- executive to open new markets for. American industries these are the more striking features of President .Taft's fourth . annual message sent to Congress today. . The message is the first" of a ; se ries, of . such communications which he will make to Consrress in the earlV aays or .tne session, and aeais"entrre lys with the " foreign -relations of , the United States. Beginning with . the usual reference to ' the existing good relations with foreign' powers, the President" adds that these have been strengthened by; "a greiterHinsistence upon .

"Flat tariffs are out' of date," says the President. "Nations no longer ac cord equal tariff treatment to all other Nations, irrespective of the treatment from them received. ? , It is very necessary that the ' American government should be .equipped with weapons of negotiation' gnd adapted to modern economic conditions." " The State - Department "an'archaic and inadequate machine," at the be ginning of this administration, the President' says,' has become a new organization, -with highly specialized bureaus and experts dealing with ev ery phase -of American trade and dip lomacy1.

" ' ; The charges against Judge Arch bald arose in connection with private and official acts "both as a judge of the Commerce Court and as United States District Judge f or. jniddle Pennsylva nia. He was impeached by the House; of Representatives, after a full inves tigation of the facts by the Depart ment of Justice, and extended hear ings before the House Judiciary Com mittee. C j . ... " . The- managers appointed by : the House , to .-prosecute the ' case before the Senate asked for an 'immediate trial last" August but the Senate 'de clined to hasten its.; consideration of the case.: During the last week score's, of subpoenas were Issued for witness es 'who will. ' be brought before the Senate by the House managers and by" Judge Archbald's attorneys in con nection with the trial. v , After the. louse. committee 'on -'judiciary had concluded Its hearings last Spring- it recommended;-that; Judge Archbald1 be called before the Senate under impeachment proceedings. The last time; the House had exercised its 1 impeachment powers was , in 1904 when Judge Swane, 'United States judge for the Northern district of Florida, was called' to v account' for misconduct and was acquitted by the Senate. The House of -Representatives on July 11, 1912, adopted articles of Impeachment by a; vote of 222. to 1 and a committee headed, by Represen tative Clayton, of Alabama, .was . chos en Jlo , act, as .managers. .. on.thepart of the 'House to. try the case before the Senate, - : The House managers urged the Senate to grant an imme diate trial but that body, declined to hear the case before the end of the last session. 1 J Basis of Impeachment.

Adrianople was the . obstacie which : threatened to wreck the parleys ' between the pleni potentiaries of Turkey and of the Balkan allies when the first opened at Bafihtche, and Adrianople appeared again at the end of the negotiations as the most serious hindrance to ' the attainment of an agreement. - During the first session of the' dele gates the Turks absolutely refused to consider the surrender ofthe stronghold- of Adrianople and when;, the Bulgarians - later yielded to them on this poiht the Greek delegates shrank back and demanded. time, in whiih to submit the ..' question to the -government at Athens. The reason for. the Hellenic objection to any such sub mission of the desires of the Ottoman representatives is not far to seek, ac cording to the' opinion expressed . in diplomatic -circles. It is pointed out inav it. is oDvioas. tnat iir tne,Buig hJjrla.-riaoetiw bf-Adrianople in-'the' interests of, gen eral peace, they will expect their al lies ' to share their sacrifice, and the only way tin which this can be done is to give , Bulgaria compensation - in the shape of territory conquered, by the Greeks, Cervians and Montene grins, and which they had staked out for themselves. Hence the wail irom Athens that any concessions to Turk ey will "endanger, the fruits of vic tory gained by the allies above all those of Greece and Servia." "-..'-', : RUSSIA WILL ANNOUNCE FUTURE POLICY TO UNITED STATES ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 3.

" The pressure exerted on Russia in the matter 6f Jewish passports and the resulting denunciation yr the- Russo American treaty, aroused the atten tion of the Russian government to th necessity pf protecting 'the interests of Russian consumers. ' itussla, it was pointed out,, now grows more than half the cotton s'ne consumes and in 15 years from now she (will, in this respect,: become self-supporting. Should the United States . con template discriminating , measures against Russian produce , or, shipping, it- is argued here- that- it would be well to remember that Russia is able to seek cotton in Egypt and India, and machinery , in, Englana and Aus tralia. - ; ' " - - WILSON CORRESPONDENTS .

" " - - : - -.While apparently the offer of the Stephens Company, acceptable to its own directors and so heartily ap proved by the , directors of the club has uninterrupted . sailing, this is far from actual conditions. The under standing prevails that Mr. Paul Chat ham, ' involved in an immense real es tate development at present adjacent to the holdings of the country club, will lead the opposition to the re moval in the fight among the stock holders and will - ?ubmit i counter proposition that irreatly bestir the - champions .-bk 'the transfer, and mud,dy the" waters to a . material :ex-. ent. ; Questioned : today as., to.' his 'die- r. ; Chatham' said: ' "I have - no proposition' ito make to the directors of the' club." 1. 1 fam convinced that it - Is useless to submit any plan to that body, but . I have not quit." Mr. Chatham's Position. , "Have you a proposition pending to submit to the stockholders?" he was asked. , ... "The" stockholders - would be the proper persons to present , any counter proposition to," he ( answered in a non-committal way. ; - . r It was intimated that Mr. Chatham in reality has a positive proposition pending and one that may upset the whole scheme that has so , far been worked out by the Stephens Company, It; is not known what Mr. Chatham's plan in. He would not give an ink ling o the proposition when seen this, morning. - He did. venture, however, the statement that it would be an easy matter to convince -the stockholders of the club that from a purely financial standpoint, he could guarantee a golf course as perfect and as sufficient in its entirety as that laid out in a pros pective manner and furthermore, an enhancement of value to the present holdings of the club, amounting to . 2 17 acres, that would-be vastly greater than the enhancement of the 135 acres which the Stephens " Company will donate. In substance,' Mr, Chat" ham said this when approached for a statement today. It is Mr. Chat ham's 'contention that if the, club, as it is at present constituted will make the concessions in the way of finan cial development which the Stephens Company asks that it make in the event of removal to Myers Park, the valuation of its plant will amount to $217,000, !or $1,000 the acre, against $135,000 or' $1,000 the acre in Myers Park. ( It is believed that Mr." Chat ham lias at his command a proposi tion worked out along Nthis line,, with probably some guarantees on the part of the Chatham Land Company and some, concessions which . that-r com pany will , make in the event that the club stays where it is. . : ' ' Attitude of Directors. V . . iIn - the meantime, ;it is taken for granted by .Mr, Chatham as' well ' as by ali that the directors will favor he 'removal and will so vote this af ternoon. Some of them who had been rather opposed ;to the scheme before itiwas. tentatively outlined at the in formal meeting Monday afternoon, stated afterward , tnat it looked like a favorable ' plan for .-, the club and one along which ; -the club v could achieve : a - successf ul .' career. . i And these, maintaining as , they v have I an attitude of indifference if not of ac tual opposition in the past,' Indicated that they, would : vote, for it; and ; that . the 1 voteVon fthe part of - tide directors would :' be urianinious.

It":' is ' certain that the dfrectors'. of the Stephens Cnip.any,;' who. cial '-capacity1- the.'; proposition .today. consented to it since Mrr - Stephens. president of - the - company, , has been the leading factor in working up all the details of the plan. . ; ; ; : ,he Cflub Acres Feature.

The matter, Mr. Miller thought, should be attended to now. In an swer to a query from Alderman Win gate, who inquired whence ' would come the money for this work, Mr. Miller referred to "the alderman's at tention the way things are done in New - York - where he said .a 40-story building 'would be torn down to widen a street. ' He thbught the "city , hall should be . held up' by iron p.osts on the Fifth street side , and the side walk run under the council chamber and mayor's office to widen this con gested thoroughfare. The board lis tened , to the suggestion and agreed to investigate" further. '. Buys Gasoline Tank.' The : board -last night disposed of the gasoline question and the" erec tion of a tank in front of Woodall & Sheppard's by voting to reimburse Mr. A. L. Bird to the extent of $250, he being one of the prime.' mo.vers in the plan to establish .'this gasoline" station for" automobiles which was granted by ' the ' . board and ' subsequently -revoked, . leaving the promoters with the tank on their hands and a big hole in the sidewalk to fill up. Upon favorable recommendation of the committee reporting through Chairman . E. . W. Thompson, permis sion was voted the.
