FLIES A MENACE Professor Burrage Demont strates That Tliey Carry ' Contagion. AN INTERESTING TEST Convincing Experiments Show How the Household Pests May Convey .Disease Germs. Every Footprint of the Fly Experimented With. Carried Contagion With It. Lafayette, Ind., April 13. Professor Severance Barrage of Purdue university, has demonstrate! that typhoid fever is carried by flies much in the same manner as malaria is carried by mosquitoes. The fl does- not have the power of inoculating the victim with the typhoid fever, as does the longbilled mosquito,, but Prof Burrage's experiments show that the typhoid fever germs are carried from one place to another by flies, and when carried to the proper conditions multiplication is speedy, making a formerly healthy place strongly polluted. The fact was proved by Prof. Burs' rage by forcing a fly that had been in typhoid fever matter to walk half an hour later through the propel culture media. In every footprint of the fly after the germs had had time to develop, large colonies of typhoid fever organisms were found. Prof. Burrage has photographs of several culture plates showing this growth. TO PLOW UP WHZAT LAND Crops So Poor That Many Farmers Will Not Harvest It. Indianapolis, April 13. Much of the land that was planted in wheat last fall will be plowed up and planted in other crops on account of the failure of wheat this year. Reports from the township assessors that are coming to State Statistician Johnson show that from one-fcurth to one-half the wheat acreage will be abandoned that the farmer may cover his losses in other grains. So poor is the wheat crop in some localities that the yields will not be more than 10 per cent of the normal. Reports from 297 townships out of 1,015 townships, and 87 out of 92 counties, show that there is little hope for the wheat this year. Out of 65 counties, 153 townships show a condition indicating a harvest of GO per cent of the normal. Seventy-seven townships out cf 50 counties show a harvest of 70 per cent, and 47 townships out of 47 counties, a harvest of 80 per cent. Only eleven townships . and eleven counties show the condition to be good. Early Settlement Predicted. Terre Haute, Ind., April 13. The negotiations between the scale committees of the United Mine Workers and the mine operators of the state are now believed to be well along toward settlement and the announcement of an agreement is expected soon. The operators broke off all negotiations last week because the men refused to work pending the agreement. The miners' officers then urged the men to go back, and they did so, although reluctantly. Every mine in the state is now running and will continue at work until the committee makes announcement of the result of its deliberations. Fort Wayne, Ind., April 13.

A MISAPPREHENSION

! Caused Unnecessary Publicity, Says the McCall Report. Washington, April 13. The report of the McCall committee, appointed to look into the report of the postofflce committee of the house in so far aa related to the charge therein contained affecting members of the house contained one interesting conclusion. "That part of the report involving members which related to leases contained more information than was asked for by the house committee on postoffices ana postroads," says the McSAMUEL M'CALL. Chairman of house special committee. Call report. "What was called for was a list of the cases where leases had been cancelled and renewed at a higher rental on the recommendation of members. Instead of this a list was prepared under the direction of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, purporting to give all cases where members of congress had made any recommendation with regard to the leasing of premises or allowances for rent, fuel anu light in connection with postofSces." Continuing, the report says: "Precisely how this came about is not clear. The chief inspector testified that he told the fourth assistant that he thought the inspectors were doing work not called for, but that Mr. Bristow replied that he, nad talked with Mr. Overstreet and knew just what he wanted, and he instructed Mr. Cochran to continue the work as it was being done. "On the other hand Mr. Overstreet states that the only communication upon the subject he had with Mr. Bristow related to the leases from members. Apparently Mr. Bristow misunderstood Mr. O'erstreet and applied what was said to all the leases involved. Bat no duty devolved upon the committee to use more than it desired nor to make the whole or any portion of it public." The committee concludes that the Impression made upon the minds of the members of Mr. Overstreet's committee by the publication in a newspaper of the fact that the report was in its possession, together with the inference that it contained things which were a serious reflection upon members, was the reason for its publication by the committee. "It thus came about," the report continues, "that the report was published containing the names of many members of congress which never should have been associated with the so-called charges set forth .n the Hay. resolution." Court Not Ready to Act. Ouray, Col., April 13. Sheriff Corbett will make no attempt for the present to serve the warrants at Telluride on Adjutant General Sherman M. Bell and Captain B. Wells, adjudged guilty of contempt of court for disobeying the habeas corpus order of Judge Theron Stevens and refusing to bring President Moyer of the Western Federation of Miners into court. Judge Stevens has gone to Gunnison, where he will hold court for two weeks, and the sheriff will await his return here at the end of the Gunnison session before he takes any steps in the direction of serving his warrants.

RICHMOND DAILY PALLADIUM,

HE HEARD Fill Steamer Captain Thinks Battle Is In Progress " At Port Arthur. a FIGHTING AT ENTRANCE Firing "Was Continuous, But at a Itegpectful Distance No Ships Were Visible. Russians Score Against a Detachment of Japanese On the Yalu Stiver. St. Petersburg, April 13. According to telegraphic advices a bombardment of Port Arthur and a fight on the Yalu are expected momentarily. Che Foo, April 13. The captain of the steamer Lockshan, which arrived today from New Chwang, reports that he heard heavy firing between 5 and 7 o'clock this morning in the direction of Port Arthur. The firing was continuous, but no ships were visible. From the direction of the sound he judged that there was fighting at the entrance to Port Arthur. The Lockshan was the last foreign merchant vessel to leave New Chwang, sailing at the same time as the British gunI boat Espiegle, at 1 o'clock yesterday rfternoon. Port Arthur is about sixty-five miles to the north from Teng Chow. The Miaotao Islands are on a line between the two points and about twenty-five miles north of Teng Chow. Disi patches received from the far East during the past five days have reported both the Japanese fleet and the Russian Port Arthur fleet to be cruising at sea in the vicinity of Port Arthur. Six Japanese warships were reported off WTei Hai Wei on April 9, and on the 10th inst. Japanese warships were seen on the horizon from Port Arthur. On April 10th the Russian warships at Port Arthur were reported to be patrolling actively, and on the 11th Inst, eight Russian warships were reported to have been seen ten miles outside of Port Arthur. BRISK ENGAGEMENT Jap Detachment Ambushed by Russians on the Yalu. St. Petersburg, April 13. General Kuropatkin in a dispatch to the emperor bearing Tuesday's date, says that General Krasnalinski on the night of April 8 ordered a detachment of sharpshooters to cross to the left bank A TTPICATj COSSACK. of the Yalu, opposite Wiju. The sharpshooters landed on the island Samalind and surprised a patrol of fifty Japanese scouts just as the latter were approaching the east side of tse island In three boats. The Russians allowed the Japanese to land and then fired on them. Nearly all the Japanese were shot, bayonetted or drowned and their boats sunk. The Russians sustained ro losses. Non-Commissioned Officers Louchkine and Souhaschonov distinguished themselves in the fight. On the following day the Japanese lowered their flag at J Wiju and their outposts, which lately have been seen, fell back. On the night of April 9 four Russians crossed the Yalu to Yongampho and made toward a Rus- ( eian village, where they found a squad ron or Japanese cavalry. They remained there twelve hours, when they were betrayed by Koreans and were obliged to swim the river, their boat having struck on a sand bank. One soldier lost his life. The Japanese pursued the Russians in a boat. . but were In turn attacked by a Rus- ! sian boat which had come to the rescue of the swimmers. The Japanese were all killed and their boat sunk. Russians Gratified. St. Petersburg, April 13. General Kuropatkin's report to the emperor of the annihilation of Japanese detachments on the Yalu river is a matter of general satisfaction In cfiicial circles. Again, in the view of the authorities, the Russian soldier has proved his superiority in strategy and in the manner of attack which left no chance for a single enemy to escape.

HOW THEY STAND Strength of Each District In Republl can State Convention. Indianapolis, Apr. 13. The strength of each district In the Republican state convention has been reduced to the following figures: First, 102; Second, 102; Third, 84; Fourth, 08; Fifth, 120; Sixth; 119; Seventh, 124; Eighth, 134; Ninth, 132; Tenth, 132; Eleventh, 121; Twelfth, 98; Thirteenth, 122. The Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth have candidates for governor; the Fonrth, Sixth and Eighth candidates for lieutenant governor; the Third, Fourth and Fifth candidates for supreme judge; the Seventh, Tenth and Eleventh candidates for statistician; the Third, Sixth, Ninth and Fifth candidates for reporter of the supreme and appellate courts; the Second for state treasurer; the Ninth for state auditor; the Thirteenth for attorney general, and the Sixth for superintendent of public instruction.' The First is the only district that will not present a candidate for something. According to an estimate made today by Chairman O'Brien over 800 delegates have already been selected to the state convention May 12, and that less than 100 are for W. Randolph Hearst. Over at the Hearst headquarters at the Claypool hotel a far different estimate is presented. His representatives declare that they are breaking even and that they expect to do better right along. There will be 1,547 delegates in the Democratic convention, which is more than the Republicans will have. The Republican convention will have 1,488 delegates. The apportionment was the same in both calls, but the Democrats selected their delegates according to the vote of 1900, while the Republicans are going according to the vote of 1902, an off year when it was, much below normal. The estimate of O'Brien that over 800 delegates have beeen selected is surprising, as it was the general supposition that less than half that number had. been named. The intimate friends of Jerome Herf? of Peru, the well-known Democratic politician who ran twice for state treasurer, were considerably amused at a report unwittingly started by a correspondent here that he will be a delegate on the Hearst slate in the Eleventh district to the national convention. Herff is a candidate for delegate, and it is said that he will be elected, but he is an out-and-out Parker man. He became a candidate before there was any talk of a fight between the Hearst and Parker forces, but he has made no secret of his prefences and the fact that he was unintentionally mentioned as a Hearst man has given his friends an opportunity to make it very interesting for him. It is said that B. F. Louthain of Loganspcrt will be the other Parker delegate in the Eleventh district. COMMITTEE OF INQUIRY Will Look Into the Red Cross Squabble. Washington, April 13. The books and accounts of the Red Cross society will be taken to the United States capitol on Thursday, where they will be examined by a committee of inquiry appointed to look into the affairs of the society. The committee then will engage an expert accountant to examine the books and report to the committee. Counsel for the remonstrants in the Red Cross controversy have been asked to submit a list of witnesses and what they expect to prove by each. With all this matter before the committee it will determine the course it shall take in the effort to straighten out the trouble in the society. Negro Boy's Crime. Kansas City, April 13. Roy Martin, aged seventeen years, a high school boy of Kansas City, Kan., was shot and killed last night by a negro boy named Gregory. Martin with his schoolmates was playing ball when Gregory and other negro boys made insulting remarks to the white boys. The white boys resented this and Gregory drew a revolver and firedlnto the crowd of white boys, sending a bullet through Martin's heat. Indiana Grand Lodge A. O. U. W. Fort Wayne, Ind., April 13. The 21st biennial session of the grand lodge of Indiana, Ancient Order of United Workmen, is in session in this city. Grand Master T. D. Nea.1 of Indianapolis states that it is the most thorougn representation the order in the state has ever had, very few lodges being without delegates in attendance. Mutilated in a Charivari. Princeton, Ind., April 13. At a charivari Francisco Ireland, aged nineteen years, had an arm blown off with a stick of dynamite which he Intended to explode near a residence. The explosive went off prematurely, resulting In the accident. Ireland is a son of a prominent physician. Business Badly Behind. Berlin, April 13. The reichstag resumed its settings yesterday, after the Easter holidays, with business badly behind, owing to the protracted general political debate during the budget discussion, whicn is still unfinished. Child Killed by Falling Limb. Roachdale, Ind., April 13. Harry Gleason, the four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Dee Gleason, was instantly killed by the tailing of a limb of a tree. Allentown, Pa., April 13. The body of Martin Leskowski, the murderer who recently escaped from Jail at Mauch Chunk, was found on the Lehigh Valley railroad track above here.
