ment in the District of Columbia of a

of the senate. The countries making

many, Italy and Spain.

Small Chance of dongress Passing a
Bill at This Session.
Washington, Jan. 7. Members of
congress interested in securing river
and harbor appropriations are becom
ing uneasy over the repeated warnings
of Speaker Cannon and other Republi
can leaders that the strictest economy
must be observed from now until ad
journment. hue talk of this sort is
always in evidence at the beginning of
each session, there is more seriousness
u the tones of the speaker and party
leaders than usual, and the fear is
spreading that they mean what they
say.
So far as waterway appropriations
are concerned, the fear is ' not alone
based on the attitude of the party lead
ers, but the further and very signifi
cant fact that the rivers and harbors
committee, though it has been in ses
sion more than a month, has accom
plished absolutely nothing. One of its
members declares that, notwithstand
ing almost daily meetings have been
held, not a single line of the bill has
been framed, not a single item agreed
upon. He declares that in past ses
sions, when bills were reported and
passed,. the committee did more actual
work in two days than it has done this
winter in more than four weeks.
This dawdling policy, this postpone
ment of action, is w hat causes the real
alarm, and no member can understand
what it means, unless it is that the de
lay is inspired by the speaker for the
sole puropse of staving off action until
it is too late to put through a river and
harbor bill. If it is found that this
policy of delay is continued, there is
apt to be a general revolt of members
from districts which are sorely in need
of money to continue the improvements
of their waterways.
Asks Fee of $200,000.
Newark, N. J., Jan. 7. A fee of
$200,000 for James Smith, Jr., for act
ing as receiver for the United States
Shipbuilding company- was asked of
Judge Lannintr in the United States
District court here today. Counsel for
the Sheldon reorganization committee
opposed the application, and said that
the sum demanded was exhorbitant.
He said all the money Mr. Smith han
dled in the receivership was not more
than $1,125,000. The credit for the
resurrection of the company, he said,
is due to the reorganization committee.
Another New Russian Loan.
St. Petersburg. Jan. 7. Official an
nouncement of the issue of a new loan
is published here for the first time.
The amount of the loan will be $115,
750,00 . bearing interest at 414 per
cent from January 1 . The first call of
oonas will not be made earlier than
1917. The whole loan will be extin.
guished in 1985. .
WILL FIGHT IT OUT
When Fcace Is Wanted, Roosevelt
Will Be Mediator.
ALL HAVE CONFIDENCE IN HIM
Europe Agrees Our President Wilt Be
Chosen to Bring About Peace
When Time Comes.
Washington, Jan. 9. Japan lias not
made overtures Kir in-nee to Russia, di
rectly or indirectly, through the Unit
ed State or any other power, and con
templated no such action, and now
that Port Arthur has fallen, purposes
to press the war in the North all the
more vigorously by reinforcing the Jap
anese armies at Lino Yang with the
greater part of the troops which have
been Jiesicging Port Arthur. This, in
brief, represents the views of Mr. Ta
kuhira, the Japacso minister.
"The fall of Port Arthur," said the
minister, "is but a step in the war
whifh Japan is waging for a principle.
Certainly it is an imortant step, but
nothing could be further from the
truth than the assumption that, tie
cause Japan has captured a stronghold,
the fall of which ban King been expect
ed, the Japanese government will now
make overtures for peace. Japan is too
busy fighting. We are as much in ear
nest today as we were at the outset of
the war. We have made no overtures
for peace, either directly or indirectly,
nor have the powers approached us
M .... ... -. I. ...
The Russian embassy reiterated that
Russia would tight all the harder in
view of the temporary loss of Port Ar
thur. EuroiH', it is learned, is firmly of the
conviction that, however dark the out
look for caco at this moment, when
the prospect brightens, it is to Presi-
liiit Rouscvclt that the neutrals as
well as the belligerents, will look as
the intermediary through win mi (tcace
negotiations will be initiated. As a
KurojH'an ambassador said today, the
American government is practically
the only government to which lioth
belligerents will be willing to look for
assistance in reaching a settlement
when that time comes, and, aside from
this fact, the high personal regard in
which the president is held, Isith at St.
Petersburg and at Tokio, makes it all
the more probable that through him,
when Russia and Japan have (ought
their fight, the powers hoc for cacc.
. SUBMARINES FOR JAPAN.
She Has Had Thirty Shipped From
Seattle in Sections.
Victoria, Jan. 9. The steamer Kan-
agawa Maru, which arrived today from
Japan, took a cargo of submarine I Hints
on her last trip from Seattle. These
were shipped in sections. It is under
stood that the Japanese government
now has about 30 submarine vessels,
many of which are now ready for ser
vice. Others are Ix'ing put together at
Kure. Home foreigners will assist to
man them.
Captain Orlan Cullen, inventor of
the Cullen ball-bearing gun, arrived on
the Kanagawa Maru, from Tokio, after
taking a cargo of submarines and heavy
ordnance to Japan. He left Trieste in
November on an Austrian steamer via
Constantinople, having the guns mani
fested as agricultural implements.
TO FORTIFY AGAIN.
Japan Already Has Men and Material
for Port Arthur.
Chefoo, Jan. 9. General Nogi is pre
pared, through agents who have been
recruiting for months, to put a horde of
Chinese coolies at work in the reforti
fying of Port Arthur immediately that
the Russians are disposed of. Vast
quantities of cement and timlier are
ready on the Yalu river for this pur
pose, while steel plates and other man
ufactured necessaries are ready in Japan
for transportation to the fortress.
The Japanese are confident that the
refortifying of Port Arthur will place
it in a better condition than ever.
Worn by Grief and Labor.
New York, Jan. 0. General Nogi is
visibly affected by the tremendous sac
rifice of Japanese lives in the success of
his plan, according to a dispatch from
a correspondent with the third army.
IIib very outward appearance has
change. lie lias grown careless in
dress, and strangers often find it diffi
cult to pick out the aged, haggard man
as the man who refers to General Stoes
sel as the hero of Port Arthur, notwith
standing he surrendered the fortress.
General Nogi, it is recalled, lost two
sons, his only children, in the war.
Conference on Reclamation.
Washington, Jan. 9. The engineers
who are employed in the government
reclamation service began their second
annual conference here today. Kepre
sentatives were present from all parts
of the West.
