Paris, April 27. A special to The Journal from St. Petersburg says that a Japanese squadron has got between Vladivostok and the squadron that visited Gen-San, and that the Russian chips are cut off from- their port. Liao Yang, April 27. On April 23 the Russidns observed that the Japanese were making preparations to cross the Yalu river. On the night of April 23 two steamers and two torpedo boats were noticed at' the mouth of the river. They approached the hore at daylight and the Japanese commenced to build a pontoon on the left tributary. A second iK)ntooni was being prepared teu miles up the stream. At 3 o'clock the same afternoon the Japanese occupied the island of Saniolfcdo, to which they carried pontoon boats, etc Itasalans Destroy a Pontoon. The night pissed, quietly, the torpedo boats malniug a careful watch in case Wie troops ashore should be attacked, and examining the mouth cf the river by meann of searchlights. At 3:40 next morning the Japanese crossed the river near the village of TchindJagon, where, however, the Russian outposts commenced firing upon them. The Russian advance guards had been furnished with a small gun. and they' succeeded in destroying the iontoon constructed near Wiju. Another If rash with the Russians. The wrecked pontoon -was carried away by the cunent, and further Japanese bridging - operations ceased,- but the 'Japanese continued to cross by aiaother pontoon southward of Wiju. A Japanese column with a battery of ertillery approached Turenchen at'mldV day, but the Russian skirmishers met them with hurp tiring, evidently giving them trouble, as they retired with the battery, win Ich made no attempt to answer the Russian fire. w New Withheld at SU Petersburg:. St Petersburg, April 27. The censor's committee did not give out dispatches received regarding movements of the Japanese to cross the Yalu river, and stating tliat they had begun. It was intimated that information had been received that the Japanese had crossed the river, but thi" was accompanied by a statement that the success of ike enemy should in no sense be regarded as an Important victory, the Russians having no Intention of vigorously contesting the passage, their plan being to annoy the enemy as much asi possible. Japs Outwitted the Russians. It is evident from the dispatches received'here that in order to render a crossing feasible the Japanese made a feint on Tatimg Kau while the troops actually crossed some miles up the rivcT near Tchangdjlou.

NEW FEATURE AT PORT ARTHUR Next Time the Japs Go There It Will Be Ware Submarine. St Petersburg, April 27. The entrance into the service of four submarine boats at Port Arthur means the addition of a new and formidable weapon for the defense of that stronghold. The. dispatch; of the hoats in sections over the railroad has been shrouded in secrecy, end even today many in St Petersburg are inclined to doubt the report by officials of their presence at Port Arthur, or to accept the information as trustworthy. An effort now to close or blockade Port Arthur will be too dangerous, it is thought for Vice Admiral Togo to attempt The defenders of the port will be able to guard against Japanese submarine veeete entering the harbor and attacking the Russian ships at andhor. The officials here are not certain that the Japanese have submarine boats, as they possessed none before the war, but since the beginning of hostilities they undoubtedly have laid down a numter of them. The Russian submarine boats may soon have an opportunity to demonstrate the value of their type In war, as the Japanese fleet Is reported at Chefoo,,and the Interval of time it is usually absent from Port Arthur has about expired. French Paper lias It Straight. PaTls, April 27. The St. Petersburg correspondent of The Matin says: "I learn from a sure source that the Vladivostok squadron yesterday eann four Japanese transports which, were ccaveyisj 4,000 men. 4

DÄLZELLVS.COCKRAN

Their Controversy Reopened by the Pennsylvania Man, Who Supplies a Hot Roast. DECLARES TARIFF IS THE ISSUE Charges tho New Yorker with Having rieen 011 All SMes of the National Questions. Washington, April 27. The Cock-ran-Dalzcll dispute was given another "whirl" in the house and the remarks were, If possible more personal than they were last Saturday. Dalzeli began the entertainment by replying at length to Cbckran. . He said bunting question in the coming campaign was the tariff and that the Democratic leaders were all for free trade more or less. Then he came to the controversy on Saturday. He said that the press dispatches intimated that he had made an unjust attack on Cockran. "On the contrary,'' he Faid, warmly, 4,he made a mean and contemptible ittack on me." Declare Illniseir Justified. Dalzeli explained his remark of last Saturday by saying that he had been "informed" that it was profitablo to Cockran to support McKinley when he did. lie vehemently declared that ha was so informed. "I say now," io exclaimed, "that I was justified '.n making that charge, because it Is me current belief to this Cay that :ie gentleman received money for political work." To support his charge, he aid he would mention 6ome fact3 and circumstances connected with the history of Cockran. Attack Cockran' Political Record. He then read from a number of documents to show that Cockran started as a greenbacker, and in 1S00 stood with the McKinley sidy because he was for sound money. "For sound money In 1MMJ," he saik amid Republican applause, "traveling all over the continent: in 1900 In support of Rryan; greenbacker. eound money man, free silver man. He has been a Bryanite and an anti-IJryanlte. He was for Bryan in 1IXX). Is he for Prynn now?" So far as he could judge, Dalzeli said, 1 he was for "some, gentleman up In New York, or may be tn New Jersey." '4 ; QUOTES A HEARST NEWSPAPER Also the New York Tribuyj Ends with a -e- . -v .". ueu-uot uoast. The Democratic side of the house, he salt, had gotten hysterical when on Saturday he would not disclose the name of hiß informant. He then read from the New York Journal, published by Cockran's colleague, W. R. Hearst, in August, 1S90, a statement that Cockran was for McKinley, "a iositlon which." said the publication, "to those who remember his career In corfgrcss does not seem to Involve such a strain on hte feelings as might be enpposod, especially with rumors in the air of ?2T0.000 checks out of Hanna's 'educational fund. " He quoted from an article in the. New York Tribune In 1S03, in which the statement was made that Cockraa evidently hadi been deeply inceused by the charge that he had sold his oratory to the fusion cause, but had been hired for a larger price by Tammany. Dalzeli closed amid wild Republican applause with a most bitter denunciation of Cockran. He referred to that gentleman's speech before the Democratic conventiol which sent him to congress, In which Cockran said: "We have reached a point where the country is regarded as an international hoodlum." Factns the Democratic side and looking directly at Cockran Dalzeli declared that that utterance was of as much interest to them . as it was to himself; "If there be ary hoodlums amongst us," he said, speaking with much vehennexice, "they are not the productof American soil, American InstituMons or American civilization." He was Interrupted with loud and prolonged Republican applause. Continuing, he said: "They are to be found rather amongst those adventurers who, having left their own country for their country's good,; 'find in the field of American politics prolific source of notoriety, and pelf; men who without conscience and without conviction fled an opportunity now with one party, now with another, to find a market for their peculiar wares, among wfhich is not respectability." He took his seat amid another storm of Republican applause. COCKRAN REPLIES TO DALZELL Wind Up with a Resolution for an Investigation by the House. Cockran had sat through the speech of Dalzeli unmoved and waited for him to finish. Then, rising from his seat, he was greeted with tumultuous applause by the IJemocrats. He said that he could scarcely realize "that this extraordi'-i-ry display of personal ramcor and vituperation will be accepted by the Republican party as the keynote of this presidential campaign." DalzeK, he declared, had thought it proper to Justify a charge of infamy against a fellow member by searching the various channels "through which anonymous calumlnation circulates in a political campaign, and with hands no cleaner than those with which it deals fourLi it over a body of deliberative men." CockTaa denied the charge that he

hadi received $13,000 from the ralmer and Buckncr campaign committee. lie also denied in the most positive manner that he ever had received money for supporting President McKinley's election in 189G. He denied the charge that, he ever was a' greenbacker, and said that in the campaign of 1S90 he combatted with all his energy what he believed! to be a heresy regarding the finances, advocated by Rryan. 11 Dalzeli believed the charges he had brought against him it showed him (Dalzeli) In a pitiable statei He was in Infamy and düd) not know it He had confessed to his own party's corruption. He had proved, if be had proved anything, that the presidential election had been purchased. He added: "I can always protect myiself from the gentleman from Pennsylvania bj choosing my own side of the street Before I sit down, I shall ask this house to agree with me on thiw that If what the gentleman has said is true I am unworthy of its membership; if what he said be false he is unworthy of membership" v. Cockran then offered a resolution providing for a committee of five members of the house to investigate the chargm made against him, and empowering the committee to send for persons and papers, and requiring it to report at the next session of congress.

SCOPE OF INQUIRY 13 LARGE Covers the Election of 1 896 Democratlo Members Go Wild. He then resumed and said that when that resolution was adopted' in all Its termw something more important than his conduct or the action of the member from Pennsylvania would be made clear. "We will pre." he said, "just how the election in 1S9G was conducted, and we will see whether in fact the presidency was bought or purchased whether It was wou In honorable political conflict or whether it represented, as" the gentleman from Pennsylvania would have us believe, the skill in cor ruption- wfh Ich was possessed by the managers of the Republican organiza tion. "If it be true," he isald, "that that campaign resulted) in such use of money as has been described ther? is but one possible safety for the republic." He denied Dalzell's statement that he had referred to the United States as an international hoodlum, and a3 he fat down the Democrats went wild He rose again to ask tlicit the resolution 1h acted.' cm at cwM-e as a matter of privilege, but Repul. Means were immediately on the floor with objections that it was not a matter of privilege. "I make a point of order," shouted Grosvenor, who was prevented from further speaking by groans and Jeers from the Democratic side. Williams aid anything could be done by unani mous consent. Speaker Gannon said humorou&ly that he desired to be absolutely fair to both sid., but in his judgment "we had better have a night's sleep." He did not finish, as the confusion had become so great he was compelled to rap for order. The confusion con tinued for eome time when the speaker vigorously brought hüs gavel down and announced that the "resolution having been presented and the point of order made upon it the chair declines to rule on the point of order until he has had opportunity to examine the prece dents;" and that settled it Senate and House in Brief. Washington, April 27. The senate passed the military academy appropriation bill, the last of the supply measures. An Amendment for the es tabllshment of a number of camp sites was thrown out on a point of order, The senate took a recess until 10 a. m. today. An executive pesslon was held. Dalzeli and Cockran rone wed their dispute in the house, occupying near ly the whole session. Finally Cockran offered a resolution for an inquiry as to wlhether he had been paid for his services in the McKnley campaign. A point of order was pending against it at adjournment. A resolution was adopted inquiring what action had been taken, by the department of jus tice relative to the coal trust, etc. Accuse the Armenians. London, April 20.

Of Interest to Veterans, Commissioner of Pensions E. F. Ware says: "It does not seem to be well understood among the veterans that in calling up claims for pension it is necessary that the number of the claim and the company and regiment in which the soldier served be given in each instance. Hundreds of letters reach the Bureau every day with only the name.given. It is impossible for the Bureau to locate a claim with the name alone.

The clause reads: Says It Was Pay for Nothing. "The late Penjamin Harrison was not called upon to render any services to said company, therefore the delivery of the stock to him from year to year, was only retaining or hiring him not to appear against the company in any litigation, and was therefore not clearly a case of exchange or barter, as he did not pay for said stock, even in services, but simply took engagements not to appear against said company."
