IOWA STATE BYSTANDER. VOL. 10., No. 44. CITY NEWS. (N.B. If you have relatives or friends visit in the city or going to make a visit, please inform us we collect all your local news.-Ed.) The beautiful spring weather has come at last. Miss Hettie Alliagan of Colfax came to the city last Wednesday to attend the Masonic musicale. Miss Beulah Marshall of Oskaloosa arrived here last Saturday for a visit. Mr. Peter Bell returned this week from a visit in Dallas county. W. H. Birney, who was one of the depty assessors, has finished his work for this year. Mrs. Mary Mease of 820 W. Eleventh street entertained several of her friends at dinner Easter. Geo. W. Douglas of Colfax made a business trip to the Capital City yesterday. Mrs. Talbert Woods, who has been sick for the past fortnight, does not improve very much. Rev. Wm. Cobbs will preach at the Union Congregational church, Tenth and Park streets, Sunday morning at 10:45. Miss Jesse Walker of Marshalltown spent a few days of the current week in this city with relatives and friends. Mr. Bradley of McLaine, Ill., spent Easter here and attended the musieu given by the Masonic lodge last Wednesday evening. Henry Johnson of Marshalltown was in the city a few days last week. He left Sunday night for Knoxville where he expects to locate. Company A will give a fishing party Monday, April 11, at Corinthian Baptist church. Admission 10 cents. Every paid admission is entitled to a prize free. Refreshments will be served. Mr. Gus Watkins has purchased a house and lot on Twenty-first and Zelline streets, and will soon move into it. Mr. Watkins is the only colored blacksmith in our city. When in Chariton, Ia., stop with Mrs. M. A. Shelton for good rooms and meals, two and half blocks south of the depot, across from the foundry. Mr. D. E. Davis has purchased a house and lot at 819 Twelfth street and took possession of it last week. Mr. Davis is a carpenter. We are glad to see so many of our race purchasing homes. Theodore Andrew, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Wim. Rusa, died at the home of his parent, 505 West Grand avenue, Saturday evening April 2; age 13 months and 9 days. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. T. L. Griffith at the residence. Interment in Woodland cemetery. Mr. L. Henderson, a student at Drake University, spent a part of last week, which was vacation week for the University, at Saylayville with his friends. Mr. Henderson is progressing nicely with his studies at the University and is the only colored man in that large University. He will graduate this summer. Mr. J. B. Rush, lawyer, recently of Des Moines, Iowa, has located in this city, where he will practice at his profession. Mr. Rush was here some years ago, but since that time he has practiced with success in two other locations, Des Moines being one of them. He has energy and push, and from inditions he will not be long jumping in favor—Indianapolis Freeman. Mr. James James, our candidate for city market master, was defeated by the council, and a white gentleman from the East Side was the lucky man. Thus it seems that the colored people secured nothing, as usual, from the hands of the party. This spring Mr. L. M. Jones, candidate for constable, was defeated at the county primaries, and now comes Mr. James defeat by the city administration. Those were good representative men. Your Patronage is Kindly Solicited at the Jewell Restaurant W. Second and Walnut MEALS SERVED AT 18 CENTS. Under management of R. N. HYDE and MISS MARY MONTAGUE Mr. Geo. Logan spent Easter Sunday with relatives in Omaha. We believe there are other attractions there for him. The rally at the Union Congregational last Sunday was a success when we consider that the church was organized last December. The first rally brought them in over $154, and as soon as the pastor arrives the church will let the contract for their new edifice. Mrs. Joe Hocken was hostess of the H. B. S. and the entire membership was present. The afternoon was devoted strictly to business: election was held and the same officers were reelected. Refreshments were served. Program for April 14.

Mrs. G. I. Holt will be the hostess for April 14. The Easter programme at the Union Congregational church Sunday evening was well attended, and the musical programme was well rendered. Special mention should be given the duct rendered by Mrs. Wm. Coalson and Mrs. H. Burnaugh; also the solo by Mrs. J. T. Blagburn. Than the cornet solo by E. W. Thompson deserves much credit; Mrs. H. W. Hughes was the accompanist on the piano. The bass solo by E. T. Blagburn was good. The programme at the Sunday School was rendered practically as printed last week. Each recitation and musical number was good, considering most of the performers were children. The church was nicely decorated with pains, Easter illies and other flowers. The Easter programme at the A. M. church Sunday was the regular service in the morning. In the afternoon the Sunday School rendered a programme which was not quite complete, however it will be completed nxt Sunday at the Sunday School hour. Mr. Geo. I. Holt rendered a beautiful selection. Mr. L. L. Henderson delivered an address, subject "The significance of the Christian Easter," which was well delivered and well received. Immediately after the Sunday School exercises the Knight Templars appeared in full regalia and held an extended program, after which Rei. Graves preached their annual sermon. A MUSICALE. As announced by the BRYNANDER in several of our previous issues that North Star lodge No. 2, A. F. & A. M. would give a musical on the 0. inst., and as that was last Wednesday night, between two and three hundred people were present, but as usual our people are slow about going to an entertainment. It was after 9 o'clock the program was begur; after it was finished the grand marche was formed, led by Mr. and Mrs. E. Linson, which was the beginning of the promade. It was nearly 1 o'clock when the strains of "Home Sweet Home" was heard. Refreshments were served during the entire evening. Following is the committee who bad charged of the affair, the Messrs. J. H. Woods, Claude Harria E. T. Blagburn, J. S. Wilkerson, H. E. Jacobs, Wm. Buckner, Claude Carr, M. Midgett, N. E. Morton, G. Watkins. Mr. Woods was chairman. CORNER STONE IS LAID. The corner stone of the People's M. E. church, corner of St. Vrain and Oak streets, Colorado Spring, Colo., was laid last week. The church is being erected by a society of colored people, of which the Rev. C. W. Holmes is the pastor, at a boat of $2,400. The Rev. C. B. Wilcox, pastor of the First Methodist church, conducted the services which were opened with a prayer by the Rev. A. A. Burleigh. The Rev. C. W. Holmes made the introductory remark telling of the progress made by the society in the past year, and the raising of $1,200 for the new church building. Dr. Wilcox gave a short address. The Rev. W. E. Gladden assisted the pastor in taking the offering and $40 was raised in a short time. As the corner stone was laid Dr. Wilcox read the service of the church for such occasions. The metal box put beneath the stone held various documents of the usual kind selected for such purposes; upon the stone was inscribed, "People's M. E. Church, Trustees, S. B. Jones, F. J. Loper, Wm. Dunlap, S. B. Gist, Smith, J. J. Bass, G. Taylor, Arthur Rogers and A. B. Williams." Through the kindness of Mr. E. S. Morgan we were furnished the above etm. It will be remembered that Rev. C. W. Holmes was pastor of the Burc's M. E. church in this city for several years.

Coleridge Taylor Choral society of the sacred cantata, "The Atomement," by S. Coleridge Taylor, are being held on Tuesday evenings, at Lincoln Memorial church. The work was written for the Herford festival, in England, where it was received with the greatest enthusiasm by hearers and critics. It will have its first production in this city by this society at a date to be determined upon later. In the mean time the society will repeat the performance of the same composer's "Hiawata," in the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, on the evening of April 13. The soloists will be Mrs. Kathryne Kneen Mitchell, of Cleveland; Mr. Georgia I. Holt, of Des Moines, Iowa, tenor, and Mr. Stanley C. Gilbert, of Philadelphia, the baritone. Mr. John Layton will conduct. As Mr. Holt has been sick for several weeks, he will go to and assume the part assigned him. WASHINGTON IN CHICAGO. In speaking of Prof. Washington's address in Chicago last Monday, The Record-Herald says: "The Negro must begin back in the soil and come up year by year to better things. Freedom never can be a bequest; it must be a conquest. Slavery presented a problem of destruction; freedom presents a problem of construction. To build ourselves up in all that is best in life we must have a foundation of industrial and material development. Labor must be the stepping stone to the Negro's higher education." Booker T. Washington struck his keynote in these words in an address to an immense audience of white and colored people at Quinn Chapel last evening. He discussed the race problem, touched upon recent lynchings in the South and emphasized the necessity of industrial education among his people. NEGRO A CHILD RACE. "We must face the fact," he said, "that ours is a child race, a partially developed race, when compared with others. This statement carries with it no discredit. A child race must not be confounded with an inferior race. I have the most profound belief that no race in ancient or modern history has ever equalled the American Negro in development in all directions. "In the fullness of time we shall demonstrate to the world that we can become a potential and helpful part of the highest and best civilization. Because of his progress in the present and my faith in his future, I never was prouder than I am today of being a Negro, and of being identified with the struggles and triumphs of the colored race." SOUTH IS NEGRO'S HOME. Arguing that the South is the place where the Negro must win his way. Mr. Washington said: Whatever faults the South may have, it is a great field for people in which to make a living by common or skilled labor. There are bad white men in the South, and there are good white men there. All of them are not our enemies. We should do all in our power to encourage these friendly ones to stand by us and support us. Nine-tenths of the intelligent members of our race will agree that the greatest bulk of our people should be encouraged to reside in the South. The Negro should cultivate the friendship and sympathy of the people by whose side he lives. Any other course would be unnatural, illogical and suicidal. This is what the yankee, Jew or German does: The Negro will gain more through manly co-operation with the white than through needless opposition to him. I do not mean that we should submit tamely to wrong and injustice, for no man respects a strong, honest manly character more than the southern white man. The prosperity of one race is bound up in the prosperity of the other. Useless abuse of the one by the other serves no useful purpose. I do not approve of the Negro's giving up anything that is fundamental or approved by the Constitution. It is not best for him to relinquish any rights. If the Negro is not stimulated by just national and state laws to become the highest type of citizen, the result will be worse for the southern white man than for the Negro. Any subterfuge or makehift in the form of law which gives the ignorant white man a right to express his wants at the ballot box, and withholds the same right from the Negro, is an injustice to both races. Regarding lynching, I repeat what I have said many times in the South—that the taking of human life without due process of law, whether in Georgia or Ohio, is a blot upon civilization. We should at all times stand ready as a race to join hands with all people to see that crime is not committed by our people, and to see that legal punishment follows crime. Bishop Grant who was introduced by Rev. A. J. Carey, presided. T. W. Jones delivered an address of welcome in behalf of the local Negro Business League. Mr. Washington will be entertained at a bauquet at the Waldorf cafe, Thirty-first and State streets, to night by representative colored citizens. Rev. J. D. Underwood, D. D., of Lincoln, surprised his congregation by tendering his resignation as pastor last Sunday. It came like a clap of thunder out of the clear sky. A special meeting was held and they unanimously requested the doctor to withhold his resignation. Dr. Underwood is strongly entrenched in the hearts of the people of the church and city and they are using every means to induce him to remain. Another meeting will be held soon, at which time Dr. Underwood will give his final reply. He has a very flattering offer at Toledo, Ohio. DR. GORDON AT THE HEAD OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY. The Inaugural and Other Addresses— Letter Read From President Roosevelt. Men of national prominence, representative of the executive and legislative branches of the national government and of the District of Columbia; educators, representing prominent in the field of education; the leaders of organized labor, lawyers, doctors and a host of other professional men gathered in the First Congregational church, at 10th and G Street, northern Philadelphia, upon the concluding exercises incident to the inauguration of Rev. John Gordon, formerly president of Tabor college, Iowa, as president of Howard university of this city. The president of Tabor college men was a signal tribute to Howard university and its new president. The auditorium of the church edifice was well filled with the representative residents, and the student body of the institution occupied the galleries, which were filled to their utmost capacity. President Roosevelt felt the importance of the President Roosevelt would be in attendance. Pressure of business prevented his attendance, however, and he expressed his regrets in a letter received by Dr. Teusin Hamlin, president of the board of trustees of the institution, which he was a member of. The letter of President Roosevelt follows: "Permit me to extend to President Gordon and to Howard university my congratulations on this occasion. I wish I could be with you in person, for appreciate the kindness of the Howard university has done for the education and uplifting of our colored fellow-Americans, whose strangle for spiritual and intellectual development is of necessity so difficult and often so painful. Letters sent for the absence and inaugurating President Gordon upon his inauguration were also received from Senators Hoar, Allison and Millard, Admiral Dewey and Gen. Oliver O. Howard, founder of the university, and Booker T. Washington, the intellectual in an eloquent manner to the remarks of the speakers and discoursed at length upon the education of the negro race. He said in part: "In accepting this trust, which the president of the board of trustees have carefully held in my hands, I must express my appreciation of the honor done me. You have placed in my hands the keys of Hward university, which were carried, in turn, by the Rev. Charles B. Boynton, D. D.; the soldierly founder of schools and colleges, Gen. Oliver O. Howard; Edward P. Smith; that able executive, Dr. William W. Patton, and that graceful scholar and poet, Dr. Jeremiah Eames Rankin, my predecessors, men and women who have contributed." "There have been only two logical positions as to the relation of the negro and learning. One was that which prevailed so long in so many states, and which made it unlawful to teach him even the alphabet. If that prevailed so long, he was law and could be executed. But, if not, and the schoolmaster he allowed to teach him the alphabet, you cannot stop a man at any line you may draw. If you do not want him to go to the limit forbear an alphabet. Give him the magic characters and magic characters will unite, and reunite, in more and more complicated combinations, until from them shall have proceeded the whole of human knowledge. I do not know that there is a magic character there is, for A means also B, and A, B, C involves, before one can stop, X, Y, Z. SUPERIOR, WIS., BUGETARIAN. We are not asleep up here, if you have not heard from us for some time. The sun has begun to shine. The snow is rapidly covering the snow, though in some places it is four and five feet deep yet. The bay and lake will not thaw out before the first of June, so they say, and then the boats that have been tied up here all winter will pull out. We have a beautiful view of the snow on the shore, and the boats perior. Those who know say the snow remains on some of those hills all summer. Easter dawned bright and clear—a very pleasant day. Despite the snow storm some snow is very much falling. Our services at the A. M. E. church in the evening, a large crowd being present.

His trial is set for April 7th. Mr. Woodson is doing a good business and it is said owing to jealously among the white restaurants his arrest is due. The fine for the first offense is not less than $50 and not more than $200. He will pay this fine, if any, will be too severe. Re.

That Ellot Zborowski, who was killed on Tuesday in an auto accident at Nice, died as he did, will be no surprise to those in this city who remember him as the greatest daredevil New York and Newport society over had. Even Foxhall Keene, who had hated him in this broken, was not the equal to this American count for his wild, reckless disregard for life. He was born in this city of a long line of Zborowski. Strangely enough, his death is in sleeping with the traditions of his family, for none of the male members ever dies in bed. Back of this remarkable circumstance is a tale of a horse four generations ago launched at the head of the great-grandfather of the author, who in his anger, called upon heason to prevent any male Zborowski ever dying in his bed. None has since. Elliot's father was arricten with paralysis and died in his chair before the son could ride for a physician. One of his uncles, New Haven & Hartford train, New Haven & Hartford train, another, Francis, was drowned in a Williamsbridge pond. Still another member of the family was killed by being thrown from a horse, and so the story has gone. Now comes the drinking on a twentieth-century college—New York World. Jewels Require a Rest Many jewels require an occasional sleep, so to speak, in order to retain their brilliance. Diamonds, rubies and sapphires are among the number. They should be put away in total darkness every now and then. The usual velvet or satin-lined cases are the correct receptacles. It is best to wrap gems in jewellers' tissue paper, then pack in wool and lay in airtight compartments. A number of stones are seriously affected by fumes from furnaces, sewer gas, moisture and sea air. Card of Thanks. We wish to thank our many friends who so kindly assisted us during the illness and death of our son, Theodore. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Russ. "The horrors of war are unappable." So are the names of the generals. In the slow motion of Russia there is always something terribly suggestive of a glacier. A Boston paper has a half column article on Hulah B. Todd. Let's see; who is Hulah Todd? It is said the people of the United States "cat $150,000,000 worth of cardy in a year." Fudge! The Anaconda Standard notes the advent in its town of the first "robin." Craft?—or only pachelbelmets? Thought is the most wonderful thing in the world. No man ever kick a building after stopping to think twice. It was all up with the Barhostchaeli and the Biergeschaeli when they went down entangled with their non-exclosure. Turkey is buying 1,000,000 Mussers, perhaps under the impression that its Macedonian subjects are not enjoying life as they should. The Atlanta Constitution asks, "Should a lawyer enter politics?" Well, as a practical question, it's largely a question of practice. The physicians who insist that eating apples will elevate the moral standard seem to have forgotten what happened to Adam and Eve. College athletes are wounded in St. Louis by the company that has the roller chair concession. This looks like a great chance for pushing young men. A German journalist says that King Leopold of Belgium is the "American among European monarchs." This is the neverest thing said about America lately. Imagine Patti citing in her state room with her husband, cheerfully counting the $200,000, and tipping up the bills in bundles, on her way across. Travelen from Vladivostok report that the winter there has been so unusually mild that the sea is now frozen only six miles from the harbor. How balmy! It has been decided that Washington will have a baseball club this season. All doubt concerning the team that will be at the tail end is, therefore, removed. Perhaps the average man would as soon fail for $17,000,000 as for a paltry $75,000,000. What is the difference is a few millions any way to the man who is everlastingly broke? The town of Brookline, which it costs $122,844 a year to run, consumed 781,279,858 gallons of water last year. Total quantity of champagne consumed not stated. Fear that China will join Japan should the first land battle be won by the misdoed ought not to worry Russia. All she need do is to go out and win that particular battle. Referring, as a Berlin paper does, to King Leopold as "an American among monarchs," as doubtful a compliment as it would be to refer to Harry Lehr as a typical Belgian. A big gun that is being cast at Reading, Pa., is to have a range of thirty miles. It may yet come to pass that a shot may not only be beard around the world but fired around as well. Marquis Ito has been presented with a house in the Korean capital. After looking at pictures of a few Korean houses we are not disposed to believe that Ito has much to brag about. It is mentioned as one of the praise-worthy truths of the Duke of Cambridge that he didn't forsake his wife. It has come to pass that such a sacrifice is worthy of the world's special attention? King Menelik has a glorious future before him. He will bring to the St. Louis expedition some ivory, tropical fruits and the like and take back the cakewalk, the ragtime song, the opossum and the persimmon. A Pittsburgh Sunday school teacher vouches for the story that a New Zealand whale not long ago swallowed a man and then delivered him, safe and sound, to light again.

DISCUSSION IN HOUSE BITTER Vote Which Killed the Bill Was 50 to 41 — Will Suggest Commission to Report On Board of Control in the Year 1908. Des Moines, April 7 — The state educational institutions of Iowa will not pass under the management of a single board of control by act of the present legislature. So much was determined yesterday in the lower house. By a vote of 50 to 41 that body referred to its judicial committee, the bill passed by the senate Monday and by whose terms the boards of trustees and regents of the educational institutions were used and the institutions placed under a single board of three members. A meeting of the judiciary committee was held immediately after the adjournment of the house in the afternoon, and the committee voted to recommend the indemnity postponement of the measure. At the same time it was voted to recommend the appointment of a commission of three members to inquire into the feasibility, practicability and availibility of adopting the Iowa lowa educational institutions. This commission will be expected to investigate the subject thoroughly and report to the Thirty-first General assembly in 1966. This was the method followed in creating the board of congressional penal and charitable institutions. The debate on the educational board bill was always vigorous, sometimes bitter and now and then a bit personal. In it Representatives Jones, Hart, Temple, Wright, Kendall, Head, Johnson andisman and the opponents of the opponents was plainly apparent from the opening of the question as a special order at 2:20 o'clock. Reference to a committee, frankly, was said to be for the purpose of postponing the effective consideration of the proposition until the next general assembly. But it was a surprise to those who had watched the trend of affairs during the forenoon and the night before. When the house adjourned Tuesday evening it was plain that the proposition had a majority of the house; a change came over them when the vote was taken, and when the roll was called on the test vote, it was plain that defeat was certain for the measure on its merits. STEWARD TO BE REMOVED. State Board of Control Finds Him Guilty of Cruelty. Des Motnes, April 2.—The state board of control has ordered the removal of James C. Brendel as steward of the men's department at the Polk county insane hospital. Revolting acts of cruelty are charged. Evidence submitted to the board has been declared by the board to be good evidence. Brendel's immediate removal will undoubtedly follow. The board is empowered by the new board of control law to enforce its order, which is directed to the supervisors. Brendel is a son of Lew Brendel, steward of the county farm. Specifie charges against him, sustained by the board of control, include the following: That he placed an insane woman in a "erb" for punishment; left her some hours and when she was removed a clot of blood, indicating dangerous injury, was discovered under the skin behind the ear. That he beat an insane man with a whip. The company for five minutes and left him lying in the yard for two hours. that he kicked a patient who had kicked his (Brendel's) dog. That he was habitually rough and obscene in his treatment of inmates. In concluding the board of control and brendel's care the care of the insane" and asks that he be removed "and excluded from all work in connection with inmates of either the poor farm or the insane hospital." Another charge against the institution, sustained by the board is that he is not accused of doing five, wied hands and feet in bed, and left in the care of an idiot. Though Brendel is not accused of doing this personally, he is held responsible by the head of the department. Twelve andavits were nied with the board by the Humane society and were provided with the matron of the woman's department practiced cruelties were not sustained. Accta Must Secure License.

Pretty Prisoner Will Remain in the Penitentiary Des Molnes, April 6—The action of the senate last night, in accepting the report of the senate pardons committee on all applications for pardon with the exception of that of Frank Kahn, the senate chief justice, in case no action was taken, finally defeats any efforts that may be made to secure the pardon of Sarah Kuhn of Kookuk county, the beautiful young widow accused of poisoning her aged husband.

I left the hero and the heroine by the fire, little hibbing brook, and I'm afraid they will freeze to death if I don't get back soon." President Hadley, of Yale, has won a wide reputation as a teller of good stories. One of his favorite tales runs as follows: A Methodist preacher was vigorously expounding the text, "The little hibbing brook and gnashing of teeth: 'Aye,' he said, "there shall be gnashing of teeth! Yes, he snouted, pounding the pulp with his fist, 'there shall be gnashing of teeth!' But I ain't got no teeth!' shirply plumed an old woman who had been worked up to a full realization of her ailment, the gnashing of her head, yelled the minister, turning in her direction, "they will be provided."

On one occasion he was appearing before a master of the law who told him that he was arguing rather elementary law for such a court as his. "You are speaking as if I were a mere tyro in the law, Mr. MaMahon," said the master of rolls, testily. "Quite so, my lord," said counsel, airily, proclaiming that he was arguing to and regardless of what the judge had said.

"I was all right last spring and felt better than I have for over ten years. I am fifty years of age and am stronger to-day than I have been for many years and I give Dodd's Kidney Pills credit for the wonderful improvement."

The kidney secretions were irregular and deposited a heavy sediment. Doctors treated me for rheumatism, but failed to help me. I lost all confidence in medicine and began to feel as if life were not worth living. Doan's Kidney Pills, however, relieved me so quickly and so thoroughly that I gladly made a statement to that effect for publication.

WILL A. MOLTON, 434 St. Clair St., Cleveland, Q. NEW TRIAL IS NOT ALLOWED Judge Found the Jury's Vordict to Be Just and True—Dramatic Scen in Court Room as Sentence Way Pronounced—Declines to Talk. St. Louis, April 7—United States Senator J. R. Burton, of Kansas, was yesterday sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the Iron county jail and fined $2,500, upon conviction of using his influence before the post office department in behalf of the Ritalo Grain and Securities company of St. Louis, and having received payment from the company for his services. Senator Burton, accompanied by his leading attorney, Judge Chester H Krum, came into the United States district court at 12:30 o'clock and through his attorney filed a motion for a new trial and arrest of judgment. Judge Adams, after briefly reviewing the motions, overruled them both. The court then said to the defendant: "Have anything to say as to why sentence should not be passed upon you?" Trembling and evidently suppressing his emotions with a strong effort, Senator Burton stood leaning with both hands on a chair back, as he said. "Your honor, will please allow me to respectfully decline to say anything." The court room was almost empty, with the exception of a few persons interested in the previous case, who had remained out of curiosity, and the silence was almost oppressive as Judge Adams in a low tone began delivery of the sentence to be imposed. The court said: "I am satisfied the jury reached a just and true verdict. The evidence is strong and true. And I find no reason either in the law governing the case or in the proceedings attending the trial, for disturbing it. "Your conviction necessarily results in your punishment. Its importance, in my opinion, is not confined to its effect upon you. Your exalted station in life, and the character of your offenses, is not confined to your conviction. It demonstrates that the law of the land is equal to any emergency and that it can be administered regardless of the personality or station of the accused. It also demonstrates to all people that public office cannot be prostituted. The public office is not a sure or safe passport to private thrift." Attorney Judge Krum immediately filed a bill of exceptions in the case and offered a bond for $10,000, which was accepted, and court took a recess from the court. Senator Burton and Judge Krum then hurriedly departed from the court room. In the corridor Senator Burton stopped long enough to light a cigar and then walked to his hotel. JAPAN, HAS 260,000 READY. That Many Are In Motion And 60,000 More Are Preparing. Shanghai, April 5- A letter received here from Kobe, Japan, says the Japanese government has 260,000 troops in motion and fully 60,000 more under arms in garrisons and at the depots. These numbers are exclusive of the third reserves, numbering 120,000, which have not been called to the colors. The exact numbers of the troops which have left for their reinforcements are unknown. The Japanese general staff still carefully guard the plan of campaign, but it is generally believed that it will operate three armies, each nominally numbering 100,000 men, the second army 100,000 men, the third army east of New Chwang. The landings of the latter two armies will be easily accomplished, for the light cruiser squadrons can protect both movements. The landing of a heavy Japanese force west of the mouth of the Yalu will force the Russians to abandon the fortifications which they have been erecting north of the Yalu for the purpose of opposing the first army of Japan from Korea. It is also anticipated that the three great Japanese forces will operate in conjunction, the third army swinging out to cut the railroad and then engaging in a turning movement against the main Russian position. The Japanese are confident that the supplies sufficient to maintain in Manchuria a force larger than 200,000 men. The heavy detachments necessary to guard the railroad and supra supplies sufficient to maintain the Russian fighting force to about 200,000 men. The Japanese are requisitioning thousands of horses and it is probable that a considered army can carry the Russian company each year. Though the horses of the Japanese seem inferior to the Russians, the Japanese officers say they will skillfully accomplish the work planned Much Japanese artillery is departing for the front. The guns seem light, but it is believed that the Japanese have a number of heavy but not large European field artillery. Japan also possesses a large number of excellent mountain batteries, which in a rough country will have a distinct advantage over the Russians. Admiral Tops's failure to effectually dispose of the Russian fleet at Port Arthun has delayed the Japanese land operations. A general thaw is now proceeding in Korea and Japan, rendering the country roads, impossible and making it impossible to conduct general military operations until the ground hardens. No Japanese Troops Near Vladivostok Vladivostok, April 6. The military situation is quiet. There is no evidence of the presence of the enemy in this region.

Washington, April 1-Political questions took up the entire time of the session. The Carmack resolution proposing an inquiry into the legality of executions old age pension rules was unanimous in a half latter of the day was devoted to the postoffice appropriation bill, but no progress was made. Washington, April 2-Senate.-Mr. Warren occupied the greater part of the day to discuss the speech attacking the Githibu bill to the most of the existing land laws. He contended that the land laws were beneficent and in the main honestly administered and argued that there was no need for a pension bill that concluded his speech on the old age disability pension order of the secretary of the interior. The postoffice appropriation bill was completely sidetracked for the day. The Senate concluded and nineteen pension bills were passed by the house in two hours. Another hour was devoted to rapid fire legislation by unanimous consent, in which a large number of bridge bills were discussed, of minor importance were discussed. Washington, April 4.—Senate.—Considerable progress was made with the postoffice appropriation bill. both postoffice appropriation and postoffice purposes in New York City, as amended by the senate committee, were agreed to. Other important amendments agreed to provide for the transfer of the free delivery service postmaster general to the office of the first assistant postmaster general; struck out the age limit for cars used in the railway mail service and elimination of the second and second class postmasters in the matter of telephone service. House.—In he house today an attempt to secure consideration, under the postmaster general's appropriating $75,000 for the Lewis and Clark centennial expedition to be held in Portland, Ore., failed after the house had divided several times and the roll had been called twice. The governor under consideration during the day. Washington, April 5.—Senate—The senate listened to a two hours' speech by Mr. Morgan on the Panama canal question and then again took up the postoffice appropriation bill but adjourning without completing the consideration. Some important amendments aside from those suggested by the senate, the senate them one increasing from two to four ounces the size of franked letters, and another adding twenty-five members to the force of rural delivery agents. House.—The proceedings in the house today were enlisted by speeches by Mr. DeArmond of Missouri and Mr. Grosvenor, the former attacking the republicans for failure in the postoffice charges and to revise the tariff, and the latter vigorously defending the republican party and lauding President Roosevelt for the part he played in the postal investigation, the passage of the bill to treat with Panama for the construction of an isthmian canal. Mr. Grosvenor frequently was interrupted and was applauded by the republicans when he answered the gibes of several democratic members on the violation of the constitution. The military academy bill was passed without amendment. Washington, April 6.—Senate.—After waiting with patience for many days, Mr. Hehpurn today found opportunity to speak to the senate on pure food. The speech was in support of a bill that would require agriculture to send to the senate the results of the investigations made by his department in adulterated foods, but in reality was in support of the pure food bill. Mr. Hehpurn contended that a large proportion of foods, drugs and other substances many drugs were poisonous. The greater part of the remainder of one day was devoted to Mr. Quarles' amendment for grading the salaries of rural free delivery carriers. Finally, he was determined to implement a committee award bearing on the salaries of carriers and regulating their service for private individuals was accepted. House.—In a five hour session the house today passed seventeen bills relating to the District of Columbia, including incorporating the Carrie Institute. Washington, April 7—Senate—The senate today listened to enologies of the late Senator Hanna. The galleries were well filled and the speakers were given close attention. Those who spoke were Measra. Foraker; Scott, Cockayne; Banker; kilkins Fairbanks; Daniel Perkins, Depew, Beveridge, Dolliver and Dick Senator Hanna's successor. House—The Swayne impeachment proceeding which has been looked upon as the only possible block to an early adjournment of congress, was disposed of in five minutes by the house today. After disposing of the case a special order for December 13 next. In the meantime, the judiciary committee is to take additional testimony in the case. After disposing of a conference report on the army appropriation bill by agreement the house took up the bill extending the coastwise laws to the Philippines, and by a vote of 12 to 10 adopting a vote to the latter after a debate of two hours. This debate was exhausted save five minutes when the house adjourned at 5:30 o'clock. "You don't mean to say you girls have started a secret society?"
