W ASHINGTON, March 13.—Notwithstand- ing the high character of the seven mem- bers of the House who have been detailed by Speaker Cannon to investigate the charges of irregularities by their fellow- members in getting favors from the Post of- fice Department, it is not expected the re- sults will be of a sort to command the con- fidence of the public. Determined as the investigators may be to bring out all the facts in a fearless and impartial way, no matter who may be af- fected, the esprit de corps and the spirit of good fellowship are so strong in the House that the committee will insensibly allow the investigation to put the hest possible face on al! questionable transactions in which membe:s bad any part and, in all probability, the report will be a compre- hensive whitewash, holding that whatever irregularities occurred were the outgrowth of the system, and that members were vic- tims of this system and of the disregard of their own regulations by officials of the De- partment. J Probahly the temporary disorganization of the postal service caused by its sudden extension during the Spanish war will also come in for a share of the blame, as it did at the outset of the investigation of the main postoffice scandals. There will prob- able be enough appearance of trath in these pleas to satisy the conscience of the com- mittee and to give the report some credit with sections of the publie, but persons who are familiar with the way things are done here will nos have mueh confidence in it. Two somewhat similar congressional in- vestigations have been held in 1ecent years and both of them were little less than fare- ical in the way they were conducted and in their results. The first was the investi- gation by a senate committee, which had some men of the highest character among ite members, into the allegations that cer- tain Senators had speculated in sugar trust stock while the Wilson tariff bill was pend- ing before the Senate. Senators who were well-known as con- staut speculators in sugar went before this committee and, through sudden lapse of memory, were unable to throw any light on the question at issue, either as affecting themselves or other Senators. They were unable even to say whether certain orders to buy or sell sugar stock produced before the committee were in their own handwrit- ing. One Senator, who had to admit that a telegram signed with his name had reach- ed a New York broker, alleged that the telegram had been sent off by mistake by ‘his cook or some other house servant. Sen- ator Quay was the only Senator who de- clared frankly that be had heen speculating in sugar. The upshot of this farcical inves- tigation was that a New York broker was sent to jail for a few days for contempt for refusing to answer questions put to him by the committee. : The other investigation was held in the Jast Congress, into allegations that mem- bers of ‘the ‘House naval committee had been bribed or otherwise improperly in- fluenced to make, provision for the pur- chase of submarine boats for the navy. After farcical proceedings lasting a couple of weeks this investigation resulted in a vindication of all the statesmen involved while the man who brought the charges was branded as a liar and perjurer. But no move was ever made to punish him for his perjury. That would have involved, getting the case out of the hands of a com- mittee of Congress into the hands of a, per- haps, unsympathetic grand jury. Fourth Attack on Port Arthur. Japanese Force Was Divided.—One of the Czar's Ships Badly Crippled and Another Observed to be on Fire.—Rumors About Port Arthur. SHANGHAI March 13.—The Japanese in Shanghai show vonsiderable excitement over the report that the Russians have abandoned Port ‘Arthur. TIEN TsiN, March 13.—An unconfirmed report has reached here that Port Arthur has falien. PORT ARTHUR, March 13.—Everything is quiet here today. LonNbpoN, March 13.—A dispatch to the Central News from Tokio says: ‘‘It is as- serted here that the Russians virtually have abandoned Port Arthur. Tok10, March 13.-—1It is reported that a Japanese patrol engaged a party of Russian scouts near Kasan, west of Anju, yesterday. The Rassians numbered thirty. Confirna- tion of the fight, however, is not obtain- able. Af TOGO SAW IT. Tok10, March 13.—- Admiral Togo's report of the first attack on Port Arthur by the Japanese fleet, on March 10th, reached To- kio last Saturday afternoon. It is as fol- lows: ‘Our squadron, as pre-arranged, attack- ed the enemy at Port Arthur on March 10. Our two torpedo flotillas reached the mouth of the harbor at Port Arthur at 1 o’clock on the morning of the 10th. Finding no enemy and waiting until dawn, one of the flotilla engaged succeeded in sinking spec- ial mines in the harbor entrance. Notwith- standing the enemy’s fire,our fleet succeed- ed in sinking the mines. The other flotil- la met the enemy’s torpedo flotilla, consist- ing of six boats,in the Lao-Thie-Shan chan- nel, south of Port Arthur, at 4:30 o'clock. A hot engagement occurred at close range for thirty minutes. The enewy then took flight. “Our fire greatly damaged the Russian ships, one of which was badly crippled by a shot through the boilers and another was observed to be on fire. two flotillas to each other that our destroy- ers, the Assahio, Kasumi and Akatsuki, nearly touched the enemy’s ships and our crews could even hear the cries of agony of the injured men on them. We sustained some damage and loss. The Akatsuki had a steampipe broken and four stokers were killed thereby. Our loss was seven killed and eight wounded. Among the latter is chief engineer Minamisawa, of the Kasu- mi. “Our other flotilla, while leaving the harbor enirance, observed two Russian tor- pedo boats coming from seaward and im- mediately engaged them, the battle lasting one hour. After causing them severe dam- age, one of them effected its escape, but our destroyer, the Sasanami, captured the other boat, which proved to be the Stere- guschtebi. **Notwithstanding the land batteries pouring a heavy fire on our flotilla, the captured vessel was taken in tow. Owing to the sea the tow line soon parted and the Sasanami found it necessary to take the erew from the Russian hoat and abandon the Stereguschitichi, which finally sank at 10.30. The enemy’s cruisers, the Novik and Bayan, steamed out of the entrance of the barbor toward us, but observing the approach of our cruiser squadron retired to the harbor. Our flotilla suffered some damage. but not heavy. The Sasanami and the Akatsuki had two sailors killed, and sub-lieutenant Shami, of the Akatsuki, and two sailors were wounded. “‘Our main and cruiser squadgons arrived at Port Arthor at 8 o’clock and cruisers immediately advanced toward the harbor entrance to protect the torpedo flotilla. The main squadron advanced near Lao- Thie-Shan and opened and an indirect cannonade against the inner harbor from 10 o'clock to 1:40. According to the ob- servations made by one of our cruisers facing the entrance, the hombardment was remarkably effective. Daring our canno- nade the enemies land batteries fired, but none of the ships suffered any damage. Another cruiser squadron went to Talien Wan and hombarded the euvemy’s fortress on Samshanto; damaging the buildings thereof. ‘‘The cruisers Takasago and Chiyado reconnoitered the west coast of the Port Arthur peninsula, but did not find the enemy. The Russian torpedo boat destroy- er damaged in the third attack on Port Arthur, was found to he the Wunshoter- inuy, which had been completely sunk, the mast only being visible above the water. “Our squadron stopped fighting at two o'clock and returned to the rendezvous,”’ Cavalry = Patrol Meets Repulse. Japs Flee After One is Killed, Leaving Behind Gun Cotton. ST. PETERSBURG, March 14.--General Silinski telegraphs as follows, under yester- day’s date: *‘On March 7th, our patrol discovered four of the enemy’s posts on the Chong- Cheng-Aug river and a troop of cavalry acting as scouts near Pateechen, northwest of Anju. A Japanese cavalry patrol fell into an ambuscade, prepared by our patri- ot and were dispersed, losing one Killed. The Japanese left behind them a quantity of gun cotton and some swords and blank- ets. “Tne quiet. “On the night of March 11th, the ene- my’s ships explored Helena bay, and the shore opposite Senntchine, with search- lights. . **According to information which has not been verified, the Japanese have not made any attacks north of Gensan. FOUR RUSSIAN STEAMERS SUNK. LoNDoN, March 15.—A correspondent of the Daily Mail at New Chwang says that after the removal of the battleship Retvi- zan, four Russian steamers, the Harbin, the Hailar, the Ninguta and the Sungari, were anchored at the mouth of the entrance to Port Arthur, in proper position, and sank, leaving only a small channel available, Vice Admiral Makaroff having previously ordered the whole fleet to remain outside population of Manchuria is with steam up, economy in coal being un- necessary. : So close were the | Russians Cling to Port Arthur. Highest Official Quarter Assures the Associated Presg That Tokio Report of the City’s Fall is Absolutely Without Foundation and “Is the Veriest Nonsense’, —Motive Influence Is Japaneses Enthusiasm. St. PETERSBURG, March 15.—From the highest official quarter, the Associated Press has received information that there is absojutely no foundation for the rumors persistently sent out from Tokio, that the Russians are abandoning Port Arthur. “It’s the veriest nonsense,”’ said the official information of the Associatéd Press. *‘Nothing bas occurred there to warrant such 1eports. The Japanese fleet has not been seen for forty-eight hours. The motive of the government at Tokio, in spreading this story is probably to influence public feeling in Japan, in the hope. of creating enthusiasm while a war loan is be- ing floated.’’ The newspapers here manifest the great- est indignation over the report, the Bourse Gazelle characterizing it as outrageous and a British invention. Attention is re-direct ed to the order of the day, ordered by Lieu- tenant-General Stoersel,commander at Port Arthar,in which he declared that the place would never be surrendered, as represent- ing the Russian position. Relative to the ship point, a military officer said to ihe Associated Press : ‘This mere statement carries its own reputatian unless we meant to he at igno- ble retreat all along the line. If we aban- don Port Arthur we leave our fleet there to be doomed. It is too absurd to discuss.” General Kuropatkin expects to reach Muk- den, March 26th. Everything will be side- | tracked in order to get him to the front of schednle time. The general may proceed on a flying visit to Port Arthur, but he is more likely to enter as once upon his duties as commander-in-chief of the Man- churian army. He bears an autograph letter from the emperor to Viceroy Alex- ieff, to whom he will report. It is under- stood that the viceroy then will turn over the entire directions of the land operation to General Kuropatkin who will transmit his reports to the emperor through the vice- roy, but practically this is the only point on which Viceroy Alexieff will maintain superiority. General Kuropatkin bad bis plan of campaign practically perfected before he left here for the Far East. He returned to St. Petersburg quietly from his country seat aud his presence here was not known for four days. These four days he devoted to the elaboration of his plans in conjunction with his staff and with the aid of all infor- mation in possession of the ministry of war, as well as of the special reports from the theatre of war. A superstitious idea prevails here that General Kuropatkin will signalize his birthday, which occurs on March 30, and which is also his patron saints day, with some important act. On account of the difficulty of housing the vast number of troops poured into Mukden, fourteen thousand have been sent forward within the last few days towards the Yalu river. as iteiufoicements for the 7,000 troops already at Kasan and Abpjn, and the stream of soldiers from European Russia are heing held at Harbin. The housing problem will disappear with the advent of warmer weather, but in the meantime the government is hurrying for- ward large numbers of portable collapsible wooden quarters, 1,800 of these having al- ready been despatched from St. Petersburg and 3,000 from Moscow. Prince Louis Napoleon bas goue to the Caucasius accompanied by Prince Merat. Prince Louis Napoleon will relinquish his command of cavalry division of the cau- cuses and then proceed to the Far East, where he will take supreme command of the cavalry under General Kuropatkin. General Niedermuller bas gone to the front to take charge of the military com- munications and was responsible for the regular movement of military trains. The dowager empress today inspected her own Red Cross society which is pro- ceeding to the front. The statement of Mr. Zilinski that the Russians found poisoned swords left by the fleeing Japanese,jhas made much comment. Similar swords were used by the Chinese during the Boxer rebellion in Manchuria and the slightest wound made by them proved fatal. The use of such weapons is prohibited by the Geneva and Hague con- ventions. Miss Harned’s Refusal to Appear Be- fore Cheap House Results Serl- ously. PITTSBURG, March 16.—A small sized panic at the Alvin theatre today, resulted from the announcement that Virginia Harned refused to appear in her advertised part. Fully 2,000 people, mostly women, bad heen seated for the performance at the usu- al ‘‘Bargain matinee’’—350 cents for any seat in the house—and when the annonnce- ment was made that Miss Harned refused to appear before such a cheap honse,a grand rush was made for the box office to get money back. : The theatre officials were powerless to check the rush aud many women were hurt, but none seriously. The Alvin people claim Miss Harned had agreed to abide by the custon of the house and she was advertised accordingly. Copper River Indians Starve. Tribe in General Are Reported Sick and Dying. WASHINGTON, March 16.—Representa- tions bave been made to the Washington authorities that the Copper river Indians, in Alaska, generally are sick and dying from lack of nourishment. Assistant Sec- retary Oliver. of the war department, has telegraphed General Funston, commanding the department of the Columbia, to do anything he can for the Indians in tle in- terest of humanity. The only military post in the Copper river region, is a small post at Copper Cen- tre, used by men of the signal corps, who have supplies sufficient only for their own subsistence. Factory Girls Faced Flames. Buffalo Biscuit Works Wrecked by an Explosion, Panic Follows. Burraro, N. Y., March 16.—Thirty girls working at the Ontario Biseunit works were thrown into a pavic today when a terrifio explosion wrecked the plant. The walls of the building bulged out- ward and the floor sank. Fortunately the stairway remained in- tact and the girls escaped. Superintendent Edward D. Howe was so badly burned that it is feared he will die and another man may lose his eyesight. It is believed the explosion was cauneed® by a leakage of natural gae, which was used as fuel in the plant. The loss on the ! building was $50,000. Troops Investing Northern Korea. ‘PARIS, March 17.—The Tokio correspon- dent of the Matin sends this information, which he says comes from reliable author- ity concerning the Japanese military sit- uation up to March 10. “The first army of 70,000 troops under General Kuroki, occupies northern Korea. The brigade landed at Gensan forms part of a second army of similar strength. The mobilization of the latter has been completed and the troops will sail shortly for an unknown destination. The mobili- zation of a third army began on March 7. PORT ARTHUR, March 16.— Another pas- senger steamer, Argun, captured by the Japanese off the coast of Korea, February 7, and taken to Sasebo, rsturned here yes- terday, declares that she saw two damaged warships towed into Nagasaki, February 26, one being the Asuma and the other a cruiser, said to be a flagship, having a heavy list. Other passengers of the Russian merchant vessels, captured hy the Japanese, arrived here tonight fiom Japan. In the course of interviews the passenge.s claimed that they observed diunk-nness among the Japanese troopr, though the sailors main- tained an excellent bearing. They report that the Japanese cavalry makes a pitible appearance, the horses heing weak and sick looking. The passengers hrought evidence that the Japanese had worked ont a plan and date for the commencement of operations at least two weeks before hosiilities began. - The Russians are indignant over the con- duct of an Englishman, who had lived at Vladivostock, who cheered the Japanese transports LoxpoxN, March 17.—No further news of the progress of hostilities in the Far East, have heen received here. Thee is much interest manifested in the report that the Russian main advance is crossing the Yalu, but this is not yet confirmed, and, according to the Daily Chronicle's Ping Yang correspondeut. all the Russian troops have left North Korea, 20,000 of them be- ing concentrated at Kulion Cheng, north of tho Yaln river, in Manchuria. The Daily Telegraph’s Sebastopol corves- pondent says it is semi-officially announced that Ruseia has abandoned the idea of sending her Asiatic sqnadion to the Tar East by the way of Behring straits as im- practicable. A Ports Arthur disiateh says that Admir- al Wittsoeft has heen appointed chief of Viceroy Alexieff's naval staff and has gone in Mukden. Your Dally Meals. If you eat a hearty dinner at the close of each day's work, a dinner made up of food elements which have a chance to build up the body during the night's rest, then you should eat a light break- fast, so that your new energy may go into your morning's work instead of being all used up in digesting your morning meal. But if you have not eaten the proper quantity and kind of food for dinner you must eat a hearty breakfast, or else feel faint from undernourishment. You should not eat meat for break- fast, for meat showdd only be eaten at a time when complete rest can be taken. If you feel the need of meat eat eggs instead or nuts. You should eat a well cooked cereal, but know this: The cereals which can be cooked in three minutes are hardly worth the eating, because they have so little nourishment in them. Oatmeal that has been cooked several hours is very good. Half cooked oatmeal is so poor a food that it is almost a poison. Cornmeal must also be well cooked, too, if it is to do its best work for the hu- man body—and soul. And if you will eat bread for break- fast eat the German zwieback, crisp rolls or brown toast. Hot bread and cakes clog your system and will make you cross and uncomfortable before noon. : Coffee could be a healthful drink if it were properly made and not boiled un- til it is bitter with tannin. Clear cof- fee, one cup of it, may have no ill ef- fects on your nerves. Coffee, with cream, one cup or two cups, will make you bilious. But, whatever else you eat or drink, eat fruit and a great deal of fruit, for breakfast. If you want a fruit tonic drink the juice of an orange and half a lemon. If you want fruit for a food eat apples or bananas. Or if these do not agree with you eat apple sauce, cooked prunes, cooked canned fruit. To Avoid a Tie Vote, In the history of our comic literature there have been many genuine “Irish bulls” recorded, but rarely one that is of a neater brand than that encounter- ed at a political gathering on Locust street above Broad, in Philadelphia, says the Record of that city. A con- vention of delegates had been called to revise the rules of the party, and in or- der to expedite matters a delegate moved that a committee of fifteen be appointed to draft the proposed rules. Before this was adopted another dele- gate suggested that a committee of fif- teen would be unwieldy and proposed an amendment reducing the number to eight. This was agreed to, but before its adoption an aged delegate, with a rich Milesian brogue, arose and sol- emnly proposed, “Misther Chairman, I move yer that the committee be in- cr’ased to noine, so that in case of a toie vote there’ll be a majarity of wan.” Not Without Distinction. A note of family pride was struck in the conversation between three small Reading boys the other day. The parts played by their respective grandfathers in the civil war were being depicted by two of the boys in vivid colors. 'Fhe career of each, it seemed, had been halted by confinement in southern pris- ons, and it was on the latter fact that the lads lakd particular stress. The third youth, unable to match these re- citals with any military achievement of his own forefathers, preserved an envi- ous silence for awhile and then, not to be outdone, said disparagingly: “Why, that’s not so much. My Un- cle Bill was in jail a long time, and he was never in the army at all!”—Phila- delphia” Ledger. ~~ . FEISS | in bad shape indeed. Stupidity . of Sheep.’ A sheep herder gives some of his ex- perience in handling sheep on the west- ern ranges in the following: We have to watch them every min- ute, and if vigilance is relaxed for an instant the entire flock is likely to com- mit suicide.’ In handling most animals some degree of self help or intelligence can be relied on to aid the owner in saving their lives, but sheep seem to set deliberately to work to kill them- selves; If caught in a storm on the plains, they will drift before the-wind and die of cold and exposure rather than move 100 yards to windward to obtain shel- ter in their corral. To drive sheep against the wind is absolutely impos- sible. I once lost over 1,000 head be- cause I could not drive them to a cor- ral 200 feet away. In the corral they are still more fool- ish. If a storm comes up, they all move “down wind” until stopped by the fence. Then commences the pro- ceeding so much dreaded by sheepmen, known as “piling.” The sheep will climb over one another’s backs until they are heaped up ten feet high. Of course all those on the bottom are smothered. Not one has sense enough to seek shelter under the lee of the fence, as a horse or dog would do. Again, if a sheep gets Into quick sand its fate teaches nothing to those that come immediately after, but the whole flock will follow the leader to destruction. No more exasperatingly stupid animal than a sheep walks. An Ardent Dowlelte. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Bottomley, ardent disciples of John Alexander Dowie, leader of the restoration host, now in New York, recently left Ches- ter, Pa., for Zion City. where they will make their future home, says the Phil- adelphia Ledger. Mr. Bottomley. who is blind helpless, in an interview said: “Yes, we are going back to Zion, a place people generaily have a mistaken idea about. We first went to Zion City when building lots were offered for sale. When I first went there I was All the doctors and | told me before going west that I could not live, and, in fact, [ wanted to die. a I had to be fed and handled like child.

I hope to have the full use of my lower limbs in time and have every reason to believe that my lost sight will return.” Previous to losing his sight Bottom- ley was one of Chester's leading mer- chants. Gifts For King Menelek. Consul General Skinner, who recent- ly started for Abyssinia to make a treaty with King Menelek looking to the introduction of American goods in- to his dominions, took with him a large collection of gifts to pe presented to.the king. says the Washington Star. Among them is a large silver plaque, apon which is engraved the invitation of the Louisiana Purchase exposition to the king to visit the fair next year. There also is a collection of modern firearms, which are samples of the best manufactured in this country. Another present consists of photographs of dif- ferent scenes and industries in the United States. Woman at Her Best. Don’t belong to the “old folks” and nod through the evening hours because your boy is at college. Don't attempt repair and preservation of beauty with paints, powders and veils. Take plenty of exercise, stand erect, sit erect. When you speak, let your voice possess vol- ume and energy; when you think, think freshly. Don’t say you haven't time for the afternoon’s “forty winks.” Take it, and your renewed strength will show in a freshened complexion. A half hour’s nap after luncheon will do more to eradicate wrinkles than all the beau- tifiers in the world. Don’t think that a life of ease and luxury is essential to preserving youth- ful, delicate looks. A certain amount of work and exercise is necessary to keep the muscles firm and elastic and the flesh hard.- Don’t let go of love and love of ro- mance. They are amulets against wrinkles. Not all of the world’s hom- age is poured at the feet of girlhood. Don’t fancy that the dew of youth, with its complexion of roses, is alone able to inspire passion. A woman's best and richest years are«from thirty to forty. The old saw about “sweet sixteen” is exploded. Don’t be glum if you want to be young. Dance and sing and, above all, laugh. Ride, drive, row, swim and walk a mile—or make it three—daily. Keep your heart young gnd thus defy Father Time.—Pittsburg Dispateb. Returning of Caribou to Maine. It's goad news for the sportsmen tha: C. C. Garland, managing director of the Debsconeag [Fish and Game club, brings to Bangor, Me., for ne says that deer and moose throughout the great game country are to be seen in even greater abundance than last year. “Ev- ery one I've seen says game is plen- tiful,” said Mr. Garland to a Bangor Commercial reporter, “and, so far as my section of the country is concerned. I can testify that both deer and moose are to be seen in greater numbers than a year ago. We've seen an occasional caribou, too, and it looks as if these animals are coming back to Maine aft- er having deserted us for the wilds of Canada. The other day we ran across a curiosity while ascending Katahdin. It was a black caribou, just as black as my hat. We found tracks which showed that caribou have been haunt- tug Katahdin during the summer,” nl pert w——— Emmet’s Burial Place. Dr. Thomas Addis Emmet of New York has probably solved the mystery of the burial place of Robert Emmet, his great-uncle, the famous Irish pa- triot who was put to death by the Eng- lish for high treason at Dublin on Sept. ‘20, 1803, says the New York Herald. In the Emmet family vault in St. Pe- ter’'s churchyard, Angier street, Dublin, Dr. Emmet is convinced, the bones of his ancestor lie. . In his three months’ trip abroad, just concluded, Dr. Emmet was unable to obtain permission to open this vault. He finally and positively proved, how- ever, that Robert Emmet’s body is not in St. Michan’s churchyard or in Glass- neven. Tradition has never gone out- side the three in designating the pa- triot’s last resting place. That Emmet’s body lies in the family vault Dr. Emmet is assured from the elimination of the two other supposed burial places and from several other facts. Robert Emmet’s sister was the wife of Robert Holmes, a noted bar- rister, who, returning from England on the night of the uprising for which Emmet was hanged, was arrested in Dublin and thrown into the tower prison. His family knew he was in Dublin, but learned noc more of his fate. A year later, months after Em- met’s execution, Holmes was released and, going home, was met by his wife. She fell dead in his arms, killed by the shock. Mrs. Holmes was buried in the dead of night, contrary to all custom, and her body placed in the Emmet vault in St. Peter's, where lay her parents’ bodies. Dr. Emmet believes this was done to enable the removal of Robert Emmet’s body from the receiving vault in the same churchyard and its burial in the family vault. When an edict prohibiting burials in Dublin was issued in 1840 the head- stones and tomb covers in St. Peter's churchyard were taken up and the sur- face covered with a thick layer of cement. The stones were replaced pro- miseuously, merely indicating that the bodies they commemorated lay some- where in the churchyard. Objections of families whose ancestors are buried there prevented Dr. Emmet from ex- cavating. aa. Bad Ventilation. Bad ventilation deforms more chil- dren and destroys more health than accident or plague. There is reason to believe that not a few of the scrofu- lous diseasex common among children proceed from the ignorant habit of be- ing put to sleep in beds and perambu- lators with the head under the bed- clothing and so inhaling alr already breathed and further contaminated by exhalations from the skin. “Madam,” said a doctor to a woman, “you are smothering the life out of your child's lungs. How would you like to drink the water you wash in? Well, when you cover the baby’s head up you force him to use air that is just as bad and just as impure.” | Innovation at a Wedding. Mention was made some time ago of the use of silver paper horseshoes and slippers instead of rice as missiles of luck at fashionable weddings, says a London cable dispatch to the New York Herald.
