In an editorial artich- the Morulng Post contends that this railway is to be built with the purpose of enabiiug Russia to conquer Korea and to keep the country.

Investigation for Alleged Partisan Piirjose Demanded by Denv crats.

TILLMAN" AFTER HEATH South Carolina's Pitch forker Says the Salt Lake Editor Is a Tattooed Man. WASHINGTON. Jan. 8.-AlIeged postoffice frauda wpp1 under discussion In the Senate to-day. the subject b-iiiK opened in a -t jH-Th by Mr. Simmons, of North Carolina, who insisted there should b an investigation by the Senate Into th rharxes. Mr. Piatt, of Conn'" tirnt. denied that the Keptiblloans were trying to rovt-r up th' wrong doing In the postoftie' aul said they simply were contending that the poatofflce committee should ascertain whut was to be investigated. The discussion was participated in ny Messrs. Burrows. Doliiver and Quarles on the Republican side, and Messrs. Carmack. Tillman and Teller on the Demoocratie side. Tlu- Republican contention was that there has been a thorough investigation by the Postofflee Department, and that a Senate investigation was now being pressed by the Democrats for partisan purposes. The Democrats insisted that they wanted the facts and charged that the Republicans were trying to Bmother them. Perry 8. Heath was bitterly assailed and former Postmaster OeasfSJ Smith was criticised by Democratic senators. Mr. Tillman, in course of the debate, said that a number of years ago he had asked th.it rural free delivery boxes be supplied to farmers at cost, and that he had submitted a sample box which sold for 50 cents. This box. said Mr. Tillman, was furnished later at $1.26 and $1 ' each. He wanted to know whether any investigation of this case had been made. Mr. Simmons answered that the Bristow report exposed many such cases. Mr. Tillman charged that the opposition to an Investigation was characterized bypartisanship. There was an apparent attempt at congressional smothering. He did not see how honest men could stand up in the face of public sentiment ami try to prevent an investigation and allow the statute of limitations to "prevent the prosecution of the rascals." Mr. Doliiver said the disclosures of corruption in the Postofflee Department Instead of convincing him that general investigation is necessary showed that the business department of the government has been well conducted. The execution, he said, were In cases where private or secret contracts had been made for the purchase of supplies. The fact that there had been no embezzlements or misapplication of government funds, where a strict atiditing system was employed, proved, he said, that the general business Is well conducted. TIDDMAN AGAIN. Mr. Tillman asked why it Is that the Republicans were so anxious to prevent an investigation. "We nre trying to turn the rascals out," he said, "while you are trying to keep them In. You have much to gain by refusing to shed light on the department. We have much to gain by exposing corruption." Before answer was made to the question Mr. Tillman at the top of his voice propounded another question: "What about th -se rural free delivery boxes? The man who had that business In charge has not even been investigated." "You can't convince the chief of the rural free delivery service that he has not been investigated." responded Mr. Doliiver. "No, the inquiry concerning the boxes was confined to boxes for cities." said Mr. Tillman. "And what about Mr. Heath? Brlstow says he needs Investigating, but you could not convince Mr. Heath of that, either, I suppose." Mr. Doliiver replied that he had read the Bristow report and had found no charge that Mr. Heath needed Investigating. Mr. Tillman started to reud the references to Mr. Heath and while looking for the place said, caustically: "Well, if he was not besmirched by the report he was tattoed, and he is a tattoed man." Mr. Teller said the only suggestion of a political purpose of an investigation had come from the Republican side. As for the qualifications of the Senate to make an investigation senators should not sit in their seats unless" capable of conducting such an inquiry and people generally, he said, demand that it shall be undertaken. "If it is not made in accordance with this demand." he said, "you will hear stich a roar as will make you tremble in your seats." At 3:30 the Senate went into executive session and at 5:40 p. m. adjourned until Monde y. $250,000 TO STAY THE BOLL WEEVIL RAVAGES WASHINGTON. Jan. 8 The House today made available the sum of $280.000 to be used to meet the emergency caused by the ravages of the cotton boll weevil and other insects and diseases affecting cotton. The measure was adopted without division, meeting general support. The sum is to be diverted from the half million dollars appropriated last year t eradicate the foot and mouth disease among cattle. Pension bills to the number of 11" wpre passed. The House adjourned until Monday. POWERS'S FATE NOW IN HANDS OF THE JURY It Is Thought that a Verdict Will Not Be Reached Until This Morning.

One Hundred and Twenty British Artillerymen Embark on the Vessels at Genoa.

UNDER SEALED ORDERS GEXOA. Jan. 8. When it became known that the Niasln and Kasaga warships that were built here for the Argentine republic and purchased by Japan, would depart tonight, there was great excitement throughout the town, and crowds of people flocked to the harbor to bid farewell to the ships, of whose strength and speed they are Justly proud. An especial interest centers in the warships, too, because half of their crews are Italians and because the engines pre of Genoese construction. Contrary to what has been asserted, the Niasin and Kasaga have kept the Japanese colors hoisted from the moment they were turned over to the Japanese authorities. The vessels are commanded by two Englishmen, Captain Bonlle and Captain Lee, and the other officers are also English, with the exception of five Japanese. The Srows, numbering UN men to eac h ship, are about equally divided between Italian and English nationality. One hundred and tu.-nty English artillerymen embarked on the vessels last night. The commanders of the NMasin and Kasaga have received sealed orders, which will be opened on the high seas. At the last moment the departure of the warships was delayed to await the receipt of money from the Japanese legation at London, but it Is expected the vessels will sail early to-morrow morning. On board each warship the utmost gayety prevails and the crews are extremely impatient for sailing orders. The Japanese officers are particularly jubilant and swear by their ships and by all their gods that no Russian shall ever set foot in their country. JAPAN HOLDS OPTION ON TURKISH CRUISER PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 8. The Philadelphia Record to-morrow will say: "The Japanese government has secured an option on the new Turkish cruiser Medjidie, now hurrying to completion at Cramp's shipyard. Both the Russian and Japanese governments have been negotiating with the Sultan for the cruiser for a month through the Ottoman Lank, an English corporation in Turkey. They have been bidding higher and higher as the war fever Increased until it is said the Japanese offered $500,000 more than the cruiser cost, after which the Russian representative withdrew. The Medjidie cost about $2.000,000. Should the sale be made the cruiser will be turned over immediately to the Japanese, who are at Seattle awaiting order from home to proceed to Philadelphia. The Medjidie has a speed of 22.L'4 knots." SHOOT TO KILL" 11 GIVEN FOUR POLICEMEN Men and Women Searched for Weapons Before Entering CourtRoom Bandits on Trial. CHICAGO. Jan. 8. The third day of the trial of Van Dine, Marx and Niedermeier, car barn bandits, ended with the selection of only one juror, the first one chosen. Two policemen stood at the entrance of the courtroom and searehed every one who entered, including women, for weapons that might be given to the prisoners. Six of the men searched were found to be armed. Their weapons were confiscated. Mrs. Van Dine and Mrs. Niedermeier, mothers of two of the men on trial, were among those forced to go into an anteroom, where a police matron searched them. Four crack shots of the police department were also on guard in the court building with instructions to "shoot to kill" if any attempt to rescue the three bandits was made. The police believe that the bandits, especially NeldermehT, have numerous friends throughout the country. If these men. while the prisoners are being taken to or from the courtroom, should begin shooting it would cause a panic among the guards and others and possibly enable one of the bandits to escape.

ORDERS

Cabinet Decides the American Navy Shall Observe "Good Sea Manners."

WILL GO TO SUBIÄ BAY WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. The far Eastern situation was discussed at the Cabinet meeting to-day, special consideration being given the movement of the Asiatic squadron, which it is desired shall be so shaped as to emphasize the absolute neutrality of this country In the event of hostilities between Russia and Japan. After the meeting it was announced that orders would be cabled Rear Admiral Evans upon his arrival at Guam to-morrow to proceed thence to Subig bay, it being desired that the American navy shall observe "Good sea manners." by not going to Japanese or Russian waters just now. The order to Admiral Evans was prepared by Secretary Moody and was approved by the Cabinet. The consideration of the Orental situation, which consumed practically nil of the time of the President and the Cabinet last Tuesday, did not consume much time to-day, the Cabinet being in fessiou only a little more than an hour. TAFT COULD NOT MAKE PROMISES TO JAPAN WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. A cablegram has been received here from Governor Taft at Tokio, now on his way home, to become secretary of war, giving a brief account of his reception by the Jnpanese Emperor and officials, indicating that he was received with the greatest cordiality and consideration. Referring to publications in one of the London papers to the effect that Governor Taft promised that the attitude of the United States should be friendly to Japan in the event of hostilities with Russia, and that Japanese vessels should ba accorded special privileges in Philippine ports, It Is said, at the State and War Departments, that while it Is possible that such a conclusion may have been drawn by Japanese officials from the affable manner of Governor Taft, it is quite certain that he did not in any way commit the United States government to any policy. Not being an officer of the State Department nor President, he has no authority to commit this government. Seeking: Subsistence Stores. MANILA, Jan. 8.

Jan. h.-The town of South Peru has been urging the Indianapolis Northern Electric Railway Company of late to have the grade through the suburb lowered to the street levels.

On Saturdays only, during the months of July, August and September, the hours w-M be from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m. The question was raised by appropriations committees of the House and Senate on applications made to them by the heads of several departments for additional clerks. It was pointed out by the committee that the law distinctly provided that employe of the departments should work seven hours a day and that, under the present system, the government was getting only six and one-half hours of labor. The committees urged that, as s matter of economy in th employment of additional assistance in the departments the present employes ought to be refiulred to work full seven hours. The subjact was considered carefully by the Cabinet and the decision reached was announced. It will affect approximately, it la stated. lOO.Ono employes of the government. Considering only actual working; days and eliminating the thirty days of leave granted annually to employes, and tho hours to ! deducted on Saturdays during the summer months, each employe will give the Government under the new ord r 1144 hours more labor each year thai, he has given heretofore helhlll leleKata.
