Will Have Reached Age Limit of 70 But is Still Active, and It is Doubtful if He Will Step Out. K, C. Star, Under the federal statutes Judge John F, Philips of the United States district court is entitled to retire on full pay at the end of the present year. The law does not require him to retire at that-time and—he-may choose not to do so, but on that date he will have filed the require- ments for retirement on full pay. The law provides that a federal judge who has reached the age of 70 years and has been on the federal bench ten years may retire and receive tbe same salary for the re- mainder of his life as though he had continued on the bench. Judge Philips was born December $1, 1834, and is now in his seventieth year. He was appointed to his present position by President Cleveland June 25, 1888, so that he has already been on the federal bench nearly sixteen years. He has intimated several times that he meant to retire, but many friends doubt whether he will be willing to give up active life so soon, Judge Philips is vigorous physically and is as fond of working out interesting and intricate legal questions now as he was when the old law firm of Philips & Vest was famous throughout Missouri, A man who has been an active force in Missouri affairs for half a century and retains the power and energy that Judge Philips has is exactly the man who is likely to surprise would: be successors by continuing for years in active performance of his official duties. RUSSIAN TO HAVE 400,000 MEN. Was a French Correspondent Handed covers That Illegal Methods Were Used in Electing Him, and Retires. Washington, Feb. 15.—In volun- tarily relinquishing his seat as a member of the House of Representa- tives, Mr. Shafroth of the First Dis- trict of Colorado, furnished a pro- | found sensation, durmg the forty minutes’ session to-day. The manly and earnest words of the Colorado member fairly took “the breath of the House as he pro- ceeded to put the first case on record ip that body where a member gave up his seat, acknowledging that his selection had‘been tainted by fraud. For this fraud Mr. Shafroth declared he was not in any way responsible nor was he aware that it had been perpetrated until the evidence had been adduced by the Elections Com- mittee of the House. It was not done, he said further, for the purpose of causing his election. As he announced the conclusion of eight years’ service in this manner, most unsatisfactory to himeelf, his voice betokened the emotion he felt. The hush which spread over the floor ecuting Attorney of Cole County to His Office. Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 15.—Pros- ecuting Attorney R. P. Stone of this county, who was suspended several weeks ago while under indictment on four different charges of bribery, re ceiving illegai fees and riding on rail- road passes, was replaced in oftice to-day on a motion of his attorney. which was sustained by Judge James Hazell of the circuit court. Mr. Stone had been acquitted of all the charges filed against him. The attempted impeachment of Prosecuting Attorney Stone grew out of the boodle investigations which were begun in Jefferson City after the last legislature adjourned. He was charged with having received a bribe while actiug as a county official and suspended from office, the court appointing Mr. F. M. Brown to act as prosecuting attor- ney. The charge of bribery and receiv- ing illegal fees was tried some time ago, resulting in both cases being thrown out of the court. Two other charges came up to-day against Stone, being heard by Judge Sam But when he sat down with words of thanks on his lips for the treat- ment he had received from his col- leagues on both sides of thechamber, says that 600 Russian while marching across Lake Baikal, Eastern Siberia.

Thus far the base has succeeded in maintaining its communication with Port Arthur. The concentration of troops, the correspondent says, proceeds sys- tematically and provision has been Kieff and Varsovie. Before twelve days ehall have elapsed the Russians will have an army of 400,000 men in Manchuria. Intense demoralization exists among the populace and the people of the surrounding villages are flocking into the town, seeking to reach Western Russia. The rail- way trains, however, are blocked and more than 2,000 travelers are thus held up. The intense cold increases the suffering and adds to the difti- culties of bringing forward troops.
