Minister of Marine Pre- dicts an Ultimate Victory. —— TOKIO, March 25.—The House of Representatives to-day listened to a significant speech by M. Yamamoto, the | Minister of Marine, and passed with ! enthustasm and without a dissenting voice a vote of thanks to Vice Admiral | Togo and his officers for their services | to the countrv. When- the vote was | taken the members of .the House arose nd cheered the navy. In the course of his remarks the Min- ister of Marine said it was no new thing to be prepared for emergencies {in time of peace, but that since last | October the Japanese navy had been under the necessity of imcreasing its strength and had been constantly ready for action on account of the actions of Russia. This the Minister regretted. Continuing, be said it had been mani- fest to every observer that Russia had constantly increased her strength in not purchased the cruisers Nisshin and | Kasuga from Argentina her naval strength would have been below that of Russia. SHIPS OF RUSSIANS. | Referring to the result of the work of Vice Admiral Togo and his fleet, M. Yamemoto tcld the House of Repre- sentatives that to blockade a port suc- cessfully the blockaders should be at least twice as strong as the defenders | of the port. He said the latest reports showed that the Russians had four battleships, five cruisers and ten tor- pedo-boat destroyers afloat at this time, frem which it must be concluded that the work of repairing at Port Ar- thur was being carried -forward' effi- ciently. The latest attack on Port Ar- thur, had enabled the Japanese to ob- serve the actual strength of the enemy there. Continuing, the Minister of Marine said that while he hoped for a speedy termination of the war, he must warn | the members of the House not to be | oversanguine. The united efforts of | Japan’s soldiers and of civilians of high {and low degree, he concluded, would | surely carry the war to a glorious and | successful ‘termination. | ALLEGED TREASON INQUIRY. | The committee of the House which ‘is investigating the charge against | Tiesuke Akiyama, a member of Par- the Far East, and that if Japan had | James L.

Senator Dubois intimated that the pressure for repeal was due to large holdings of forest lien lands by the railroads. Senator Gibson yesterday advocated repealing the laws in question. Sena- tors Hansbrough and Dubois contend- ed that the repeal would be unwise. Senator Newlands favored modifica- | tions of the law. Monopoly/ of land, asserted New- | lands, had been the cause of most of | the series of European wars. He said | concentration of laxd in California had interfered with the proper develop- ment of the State. Dubois said that charges of fraud in the public land States was a sweep- ing indictment of the administration of the land laws and that he, for one, resented them. He never had known a case of fraud under the operation of the desert land law in Idaho and in view of the fact that it was the only law under which the public land States could be settled he thought its repeal would be a calamity. He declared that the time for large holdings of lands had passed away and said the only legitimate complaint to be made against the execution of the land laws at present was in connection with the use of forest lien serip, most of which, he said, was held by railroad com- panies. ® The District of Columbia appropria- tion bill was taken up and a discussion followed on the provision reducing | telephone rates. The service given by | | the local teiephone company was con- demned. The Senate amendment fix- ing the rate on individual telephones at $60 a year, as against $50 named by the House. was agreed to. Senator Hoar offered and the Senate adopted the following resolution: “That the Committee on Rules be directed to consider the report | whether any amendment be desirable {in the Senate rules relating to im- peachments, and reply whether the rules may properly and lawfully pro- vide for taking testimony in such cases by a committee in accordance with the practice of the English House of Lords in such cases; questions of admission of material testimony and the final argument being reserved for the full Senate.” ‘Without completing the District of Columbia bill the Senate passed a large number of private pension bills and after a brief executive session ad- journed. During the day.former Vice Presi- dent Morton appeared on the floor of the Senate and was warmly greeted. e CERIRERE A MINORITY FILES REPORT. Congressman Lucking and Associates Oppose the Shipping Subsidy Bill. WASHINGTON, March 25.—The re- port of the minority of the House com- mittee on Merchant Marine and Fish- eries, prepared by Representative Lucking of Michigan and signéd by Representatives Spight, Goulden, Me- Dermott and Lucking, declares the bill to be a step in the policy of subsidiz- ing our merchant marine. The report says that outside of the goods trans- ported in vessels owned by the Govern- ment there was paid in freights for such carrying in the year 1901, $4,523,- 954, and that “this carrying is done principally to the Philippines and, like the major portion of all our war ‘and naval expenditures of the present day, has been rendered necessary by the ill-advised subjugation and retention of those islands.” The revort says the bill is a most barefaced misappropriation of public moneys, and adds: : S RUSSIANS | STRONGLY | 'FORTIFY . |Rapid Work Being Done ~ in the Vieinity of Antung. {Troops Have Scant F\ and War Horrors Begin, PR L TOKIO, March, 26.—A private tele- gram from Korea states that the Rus- sians are establishing a strong position in the vicinity of Antung. They are #aid to have seven fortresses completed and to be engaged in erecting six ad- ditional ones. It is also reported that four batteries of artillery have been established at Chyansyong. The Russians are reported to be ex- periencing great difficulty in transport- ing army supplies, particularly from Liaoyang. The roads are in bad con- dition and it has been necessary to re- pair them and construct a number of | new bridges. Food is said to be scarce and cattle are unavailable and the Rus- sians have been killing and eating horses. o < The report concludes that, “in some respects this bill is worse than any pronounced subsidy measure which has been advocated in Congress, because it glves an absolute monopoly to a few corporations and individuals who may and probably will form a combine and hold up the Government for all it will stand.” FE(CIEr RS SUNDRIES FOR THE COAST.

NEWCHWANG, March 25.—The Liao River became navigable to-day and shipping agents have received notices of the departure of vessels from ports along the entire coast of China for Newchwang. The Russian military authorities have issued an order regulating shipping at this port. The order provides that all incoming vessels must anchor five and a half miles below the fort and can proceed into the harbor between the hours of 6 a. m. and 6 p. m., after un- dergoing an examination of papers and cargo. The merchants here are pro- testing against the order in the hope that ships will be admitted to anchor within two miles of the foreign settle- ment before submitting to an examina- tion by the authorities. Although fur- ther compromising the rights of neu- trals, the surveillance of all ships pass- ing by the fortifications is considered by the authorities to be a necessary military precaution. - HEALTH BOARD STARTS A PURE FOOD CRUSADE - Residents of This City Are to Be Pro- tected Against Adulterations in Articles of Diet. The Board of Health is actively en- gaged in ap effort to give the resi- dents of the city pure milk. All of the inspectors of the food department, acting under the orders of Health Of- ficer Ragan, are securing samples from all the dairies, groceries and other places where the lacteal fluid is for sale and submitting them to Dr. Bothe, the City Chemist, who is mak- ing chemical analysis. The present standard for butter fat is 3.20 and wherever the sample sub- mitted falls below the standard Deputy Health Officer Levy orders the arrest of the seller or sends for him and is- Sues a warning not to violate the law. This work has had excellent results. The pedple are now getting good milk | and the Board of Heaith intends to show\at the end of the fiscal year that the mortality among infants has been decreased. The board has recom- mended that the standard be raised | to 3.50 and the milkmen of this city are opposed to this action. The board is taking up the honey question and Professor Bothe has fouid glucese in the samples sub- mitted. As this is against the law the manufacturers wiil be prose- cuted.

Court- Martial Visits Severe Penalty on a Traitor. ST. PETERSBURG, March 26.—Cap- tain Irkoroff of the Manchurian com- missariat service, who was arrested on a charge of selling information in con- nection with the quartermaster’'s de- partment to the former military at- tache of the Japanese legation at St. Petersburg, has been tried by court- martial and found guiity. He has been sentenced to twenty-five years’ penal servitude. It transpired that Captain Ikroroff had the most friendly relations with M. Kurino, formerly Japanese Minister to Russia, and with other members of the Japanese legation, where the mego- tiations for the sale of the information by the captain were conducted. Captain Leontieft of the artillery, who was arrested on the charge of selling military secrets to Japan, was employed at the Warsaw fortress. He was arrested in the act of communi- cating plans of the Kovno and War- | saw fortresses to Austria, similar to the case of Colonel Grimm.
