A resolution to this end intro- duced in the House January 25 last by Representative Hay (Dem., Va.) was duplicated to-day by Representa- tive Cowherd (Dem., Mo.). Cowherd is a member of the Postoffice Commit- tee, Hay is not, and the reintro- duction of the resqlution is regarded as a move to bring the matter to a head in the near future. Cowherd’s resolution provides that a committee of five members of the House ghall conduct the investigation. The hearings had by the committee in the preparation of the postoffice bill, it is declared, developed much informa- tion. The sub-committee before which officials of the department made expla- nation of their estimates is to lay the information before the full committee in the near future. This information includes, it is stated, evidence of sev- eral hundred violations of law by mem- bers of the House importuning the in- crease of salaries of rural Postmasters and the increase of force in postoffices | of which such increase was not abso- lutely justified by the facts, but which were granted by officials of the de- partment. Other violations of law in- clude a limited number of cases where members of the House have leased their property to the Government for post- office purpose. Hay declared that he would ask the House to discharge the committee from consideration of his resolution for an investigation and have the same called up in the House for the consideration of that body. —— e ARE ON TRIAL FOR AN ASSASSINATION Quarrel Over the Rights to a Range Result in Serious Legal Affair. AKRON, Ohio, March 1.—A mur- der trial growing out of a range war between cattlemen, which has much of the aspect of the famous Dewey case, was begun here to-day, when D, W. Irwin, Frank Irwin, George T. Tuttle, Perry Tuttle, Clinton Dansdill and Elmer Shank were placed on trial, charged with responsibility for the assassination of Joseph I. Monan, who was found dead near his home in April last. About a year previous Monan had killed John Irwin in a pistol duel, but was acquitted by the Coroner's jury. From this a feud began. A number of small ranchers took sides with Monan against the Irwins and Tuttles, who are really cattiemen. The whole trouble originated in a quarrel over range rights. The proceedings to-day were confined to arguments on a motion to quash indictments. No decision was reached. —_—— -~ Baseball Magnates in Session.

WASHINGTO! portant conference lasting more than an hour occurred between' Secrétary Hay and Count Cassini to-day. :The growing ill -feeling in Russia against Americans and ‘the continued aftacks of certain portions of the American press upon Russia were the main sub- jects discussed. Count Cassini also inquired infor- mally about the report that the Com- mercial Cable Company had . applied for landing privilege at Guam for a cable from that island to Japan. He was assured by Hay that this Govern- ment at present was considering no such application. The Embassador did not give any intimation as to what the attitude of his ‘Government would be in this matter. The press dispatches from St. Petersburg, however, stated that the Russian Government would view askance the granting of such privileges by this Government, and it is assumed that this Government has declined for the present to consider such an application. To a press representative Count Cassini said that the Russian people long since had learned to regard the people of this country as their best friends and that it had been a bitter disappointment to them to find Amer- ican newspapers attacking the Rus- | sian Government, the Russian people and Russian policies. He said the first feeling of his people had been one of painful surprise, but that this was now crystallizing into a deplorable feeling of unfriendliness. PRESS AROUSES BITTERNESS. “The tone of Russian newspapers,” said the Embassador, “a consequence of the tone of many American news- papers, is beginning to take a very painful direction in its references to the United States, and in my opinion it is in the interests of both countries that some measures should be taken to check this before it is too late. “Fortunately, the relations of the Governments continue, as always, ab- solutely friendly, and for this reason I am hopeful that the present un- friendly attitude on the part of the press of the two countries will not be lasting. The friendliness of the Amer- ican and Russian Governments, it is my belief, furnishes the basis for the restoration and preservation of the traditional friendship of their two peo- ples, and 1 hope some means may be e STRANGER IS ROBBED ON - A THIRD-STREET CAR William Schoechert of Johnson Creek, Wis., Loses His Pocket- book Containing $200. ‘William Schoechert, a business man of Johnson Creek, Wis., was robbed of $200 within half an hour after his ar- rival in San Francisco last night and Joe, allas “Tip” Sullivan, is in the tanks at the City Prison on suspicion of being the robber. Mr. Schoechert, accompanied by his wife and child, boarded a Third-street car at the Southern Pacific depot. Just before the car reached Market street he missed his pocketbook, con- taining $100 in bills, a check for $100 and some valuable papers. He imme- diately notified the police of his loss and said he thought his pocket had been picked by a young man wearing a light overcoat. Detective Taylor was detailed on the case and arrested Sullivan, who will be held for identi- fication. e e MISTAKE OF ENGINEER RESULTS IN DISASTER LOS ANGELES, March 1.—Because an engineer disregarded a semaphore signal which was set against his train, indicating that the derailing switch was open at a crossing, three engines and seventeen cars on the Southern Pacific Railroad were wrecked: to-day at the Twenty-fifth street crossing in this city, J. T. Johnson, a fireman on the forward locomotive was caught between the tank and the cab and very seriously injured. The property loss will amount to many thousands of dollays. —_—— Claims He Was Robbed. ‘Walter Brandon, an engineer from Chico, reported to the police at the Hall of Justice late last night that he had been robbed of $100 by a chance acquaintance whom he met while touring the Barbary Coast, Skt e A , March 1.—An im- | found for the latter to reach a better understanding.” “What is the cause of the present unfriendly policy of the Russian press toward this country?” the Embassador was asked. He responded: “It is the constant unfriendly feeling expressed in many American. news- papers against Russia. I am sure that | when these attacks, which, se far as Russia can see, are without cause, end the relations of Russia 4nd the United States will no longer be clouded. “I am convinced of this because a careful analysis of the criticisms ex- pressed in this country fails to show any real ground for the bad feeling which evidently prompts them. My peo- ple cannot understand these ‘attacks upon them, and have asked in all se- riousness the reason for them. For ex- ample, one reason which has been ad- vanced is that this country is dis- pleased that Russia was unable to evacuate Manchuria last October. It was the earnest hope of my Govern- ment that it would be possible to with- draw its troops from Manchuria at that time. The necessity of safeguarding our peculiar and predominant position there—a position which has been recog- nized by all the powers—made it im- possible for the evacuation to take place in safety. This, in plain words, is the reason why it has been impossi- ble for the evacuation to take place. FAIL TO FATHOM HOSTILITY. “There have been examples—and it is not necessary for me to specify—whére a nation in.good faith has declared its intention to evacuate a region and has been obliged by unforeseen conditions to postpone the fulfillment of those in- tentions. The Russian people, knowing the situation in Manchuria—knowing, furthermore, that the avowed, prime and sole interest of the United States in that province is commercial, and that the Government of Russia has given to all the powers, including the United States, the most positive assur- ances that their commercial rights will be protected and safeguarded whatever emergency may arise—are unable to ex- plain the continued attacks of certain American newspapers against Russia because she has been unable with safety to effect an evacuation. “It is traditional in Russia to feel friendly toward America. Hundreds of Americans returning from Russia have told me of the marked kindliness with which they have been received in all parts of my country and of the MASKED ROBBER COMES T0 GRIEF Robert McKay, a 17-Year-Old Boy, Holds Up Saloon- Keeper, but Is Captured Robert McKay, a youth of 17, was landed behind the prison bars last night for holding up Dennis Haley in his saloon at 349 Minna street. Shortly after 9 o'clock Haley was talking with a customer, Charles Ren- hold, when the front door opened and McKay, dashing in, with his face cov- ered with a mask and with a pistol in his hand, demanded the contents of the till. Haley turned over the tents, amounting to $4, and then enhold was compelled to deliver up his cash, amounting to 80 cents. The youthful desperado then dis- appeared, almost before his astounded victims could realize what had hap- pened. They ran out into the street and gave the alarm. Police Officers Wilson and Small heard the cries and arrested the | youthful culprit within a few feet of the place where the deed -was com- mitted. 4 —_—— Receipts of the Government. WASHINGTON, March 1. — The monthly comparative statement of the Government receipts and expenditures lhuw that for the month of February, 1904, the total receipts were $45,895,406 and the expenditures $42,654,772, leaving a surplus for the month of $3,240,634. _For.February, m. the nrpm was $5,- lfi.ll. friendliness of which they saw evi- dences on every side for. the United States. These travelers, who have had the oppertunity to study the situation on the spot, are deeply impressed with the sincerity of this feeling, not only on the part of the people of Russia, but the Government at well. A feel- ing of disappointment swept over Rus- sia when American newspapers have arrived there attacking the Govern- ment and the people’in a bitter man- ner. “I have been repeatedly assured by the officials that it is the earnest wish - of this Government that the old tradi- tional friendship between Russia and the United States in the interests of the two peoples should not be dis- turbed.. I have the best assurance that this Government will observe complete neutrality in the Far East- ern war. Indeed, its attitude has in this respect been all that either bel- ligerent could desire, and Russia has no doubt that it will continue abso- lutely correct. ONLY ASKS FOR FAIR PLAY. “Russia does not expect, now that the war is on, that this country shall be anything more than neutral. My country does not ask that you should be pro-Russian and not pro-Japanese, but that you should be pro-American. She expects—and I can but hope—that she will receive fair treatment at the hands of the American press, as you say in this country, ‘a fair showing.’ One of the reasons for the present ‘un- fortunate situation has been the large number of absolutely false reports which have been sent to Russia from the United States about matters affect- ing the Far Eastern situation. These reportss have contributed much in arousing sentiment against the United States. True, they have been corrected, but unfortunately a correction never reaches as many people as do the orig- inal reports. “I have spocken with you frankly, in the hope that something might be ac- complished toward the clearing of the situation.” Miss Clara Barton, president of the American Red Cross Soclety, called at the Russian embassy to-day and of- fered the services of the society to the Russian Government. The Embassador expressed the thanks of his Govern- ment for the kindly offer, but said that outside aid would not be needed, in view of the effective work of the Rus- sian Red Cross Society. e — CITY PATROLMEN WILL SOON HAVE A HOLIDAY ice Commissioners Defer Action on - Proposition Pending Communica- tion From the Mayor. At a meeting of the Police Commis- sioners last evening the proposition to give the members of the force a day off each month was again brought up, but action was deferred until the re- ceipt of a formal communication from the Mayor on the subject. When the commission met Commissioner Regan announced that Mayor Schmitz was considering a plan for granting the monthly holiday. The commissioners thereupon decided to take no definite action until the Mayor had submitted his plan. It is generally understood that the commissioners are unanimous- ly in favor of the proposition and that it will soon be carried into effect.

Jacobson, an advocate of the Paris Court of Ap- peals, has published a pamphlet on the sittings of The Hague Arbitration Tri- bunal in the Venezuelan matter, to which Professor de Martens, the Rus- sian member of the tribunal, has con- tributed a preface, in which he touches on the Far Eastern question. . Professor de Martens says the fact that Japan was a party to The Hague convention of 1889 and that she at- tacked Russia without having made a declaration of war will make many persons ask, Of what use is the Arbi- tration Tribunal? He explains that the first Japanese attack at Port Arthur was not merely Japanese ships attack- ing Russian ships, hut Asia attacking Christian Europe. These two civiliza- tions have totally different ideas on the subject of arbitration, the Russian member cf the court continues, and, al- though the Port Arthur incident seems to ‘be discouraging, there is no doubt | that the future will bring arbflr&tlon in Asia, at least in Europe. + SMALLPOX IN RUSSIAN ARMY, ———— % Continved From Page 1, Column 6. -+ this morning from - Suez, has been blocked in the canal since midnight, probably by other vessels.

How difficult, how su- perbly fastidious, one realizes only when the Harold Bauers come along. She yields a .little with so de- ceitful frankness. Much is granted also to the fervent worship of her thousands. But the little more, the tremendous lit- ference, she yields only to the one in ten thousand. Harold Bauer is one such. The thing of wood and wire, felt and | ivory that we know so well, lashed into hard rhapsodies, whipped into wooden preludes, slapped into flat nocturnes, becomes under his hands a supple, liv- ing body, capable of an infinite sensi- tiveness of song. One can’t feel the wheels go round, for they seem to have vanished into-a thing of nerve and blood, a vocal creature. For his tone it is that pre-eminently distinguishes Mr. Bauer as a master of his instrument. The pianist—it should have been re- marked . before—made & most fortu- nate debut last evening at Lyric Hall His fine mane, obstinately curled, is Mr. Bauer's sole pianistic concession, and his man- ner is cordial simplicityitself. He is ab- solutely without pose, and obtains tech- nical tours de force with marvelously little obvious effort. Mr. Bauer’'s first number was the Mendelssohn Pre- lude and Fugue in E minor, than which «nothing more indicative of his resources was given. ' His tone, as be- fore said, is his most distinctive char- acteristic. forte as in his lightest planissimo, it sings throughout. And this is only ome side of the artist's equipment. The handling of the first few meas- ures of the Mendelssohn made evi- dent the fact that here was a pianist at once scholarly and temperamental, with a mental balance as.finely just as his emotional sehse. The architec- ture of the fugue was no less lovely than its ravishing tone color, outlined with .a masterly intelligence. The Schumann sonata (¥ sharp minor), that came next, brought into promi- nence the dramatic faculty of the artist. How humorous and delicate- Iy fantastic the last movement, and again full of the wildest caruiva' spirit! The andante, with its tense emotion, held one breathless. The Chopin group again reminded one of De Pachmann—a larger De Pach- mann. . There was the De Pachmann grace in the lighter passages, but with a massive strength, a processional gran- deur in the fuller moments that De Pachmann hardly knew. The F sharp minor nocturne exquisitely sung, and Round, absolutely - without | corners or edge, as pure in the fullest | gether lovely, tender, deep, resonant in eéach and every phase. His interpre- tations are masterly. in their adequacy, and altogether to Mr. Bauer must be conceded the highest possible rank as a pianist. He Wwill be heard twice again, to- morrow evening and Saturday after- noon. It Is needless to recommend himi to attention. Each one of last night's audience means ten of its friends.+ BLANCHE PARTINGTON. e — RECEIVES FRACTURE OF SKULL IN FIGHT Percival Hendricks May Die as He- sult of Altercation With Martin Shaughnessy. Percival Hendricks and Martin | Perry pedaled marvelously, formed -nnother-l of the Chopin group, with a brilliant handling of the C minor etude, that was played again only because could not be twice repeated. One of the waitzes satisfied the imperious de- mand for more. The little Gluck-Brahm& gavotte was another number, its staccato trio most beautifully played. and the A flat impromptu ‘of Schubert, and Me- phisto waltz of Lizst completed - the programme. In the bravura splendors of the Lizst, too, Mr. Bauer was equal- ly compelling. His is, in truth, one of the most finely rounded arts we have been fortunate enough to know.
