Greater Feat Than Nogi’a. More Indictments. The Federal grand jury, late Tuesday afternoon, broke the long silence which has shrouded it lor the past month, by returning four indictments, three of which were made public. The other was held from the press by the court while bench warrants were issued for the arrest of the men indecled. The principal indictment in importance brought Tuesday was practically an amendatory indictment proved to take the place of thecharges presented against United States Senator Mitchell, Repre­ sentative Binger Hermann, and the I’uter Watson conspirators, returned some time ago. It is a voluminous doc­ ument, exhaustive in detail and most definite and certain in allegation. This indictment charges that John H. Mitchell, Binger Hermann, Stephen A. I). I’uter, Horace G. McKinley, Emma i L. Watson, Dan W. Tarpely, Elbert K Brown, Mrs. Nellie Brown, Henry A. Young, Frank H. Walgamot, Clark E Loomis and Salmon B.

The victory gained over the Russian right army is considered here even a greater feat than was the cap. ture of Port Arthur, for, while the battle raged, there were no trenches to seek protection in and every shot of the enemy was made more deadly by the indescribable cold. For this rea­ son the news from the front that Field Marshal Ovama is now following up [ his advantage with relentless energy I has been received with amazement. a^iee that the Russian casualties were twice as heavy. Ordered to Win at Any Cost Thi» fact lead, the authorities heie to believe that General Kuropatkin was umier orders to win the battle, no matter w hat the co*t, and that he be. gan his movement with a disregard of human life even more appalling than that which characterized the Japanese attack upon Port Arthur. It is pointed out that, if Kuropatkin acted under social instructions, he has been sent to defeat for the third time by those who desire to wipe out every setback ( ai. home and on sea by compelling a victory in Manchuria. The Russian commander, it is believed here, would I not of his own choice have sent his men into battle at this time. Every ill-j dication but a week ago pointed to his desire to prevent a clash during the winter. _______ CITY OF BLOOD Battle Rages in Streets of War­ saw. I W arsaw , Jan. 31.—Another day and half a night of horrors have passed. As this dispatch is sent, the city is ruled by savage mobs ami more savage soldiers. Both are intent upon killing. No official statements are obtainable at this hour, but when the cost in human lives comes to be counted thero will be found dead by the hundreds—men. women and children. Every principal street has been turned into a battlefield. It is impossible to re­ cord the events of the past 24 hours in chronological order, for many conflicts occurred at the same time in sections of the city widely distant from each other. Throughout tha day and night the fight­ ing the streets continued unabated. Everybody — young and old men women and children—was attacked by the soldiers and ruthlessly mowed down. One soldier aimed a saber blow at a woman. In self-defense she drew a re­ volver and fired a shot which went wild. A second later a volley was directed at ' her, and she fell dead, her body uddled by a score of bullets. This is but one of a hundred instances. For the most part the soldiers who rode and tramped through the streets during the late afternoon on Monday were drunk. They seemed to take particular delight in attacking harmless persons. They killed for the m**re sake of killing. Every hour brings new reports of acts of almost inconceivable biutality com­ mitted by individual soldiers. One druuken Cossack killed two children be­ fore his comrades could deprive him of his carbine. As the night wore on, the | strikers grew bolder. The red flag was raised over several houses ami large bodies of men made open attacks upon the military. Shortly before midnight fusillades were directed at passing soldiers from windjwsjn various streets Charles W. Walton, the boy bandit, who held up a Willamette Heightscar and shot Policeman Nelson last Summer, has been taken to the Penitentiary to serve his sentence of 25 years’ imprison­ ment. * * * An unconfirmed report is in circula­ tion that it has been officially ascertained that the discharge of grape from a saluting gun during th«» ceremony of the blessing of the water on January 19. which imperiled the lives of the Emperor ami members of his family, was a delib­ erate act of the terrorists, their tool being a private soldier of the saluting battery. * * * 1905^ SEEK HOMES WITH L'S Gcod Times in the United States Swells Tide sf Immigration. very Immigration bas become heavy of the good heavy as as a a consequence < times enjoyed by the United States since 1898, but it continues to be of about the same character which it had when the movement of popula­ tion across the Atlantic was cotn- paratively small. There is no sign that the old conditions existing when most of the Immigrants came from Germany, the British Isles, and Swe­ den and Norway will ever be re­ stored, states the Cleveland Leader. In the year ending June 30, about 648,700 entered the country. Nearly all of this multitude were from Eu­ rope, the rest being natives of Asia, mainly Japan and Turkey, the West Indies. Canada, and other countries, in various parts of the world. The immigrants from Europe constituted more than 95 per cent, of the total. Twenty years ago the Europeans w.ould have been chiefly natives of the Britsh Isles, the German empire, and the Scandinavian peninsula. Those countries would have fur­ nished probably 75 per cent, of the whole number. Italy, Austria and Russia were then just beginning to make large contributions to the pop­ ulation of the United States. Now 171,999 of the European im­ migrants who landed in the fiscal year are credited to the Austro-Hun­ garian empire. No fewer than 178,- 375 came from Italy. Over 107,000 were natives of the Russian empire. The total for these three countries was about 457,000. Only 191,000 re­ mained for the rest of the world, in­ cluding the sources of nearly all of the immigration received down to 1880. The British Isles sent less than 50,- 000 immigrants. Germany contrib­ uted about 28,000. Sweden and Nor­ way gave the American republic 48,- 000 of their people, in round figures. Little Greece sent over 1,000 emi­ grants in the single month of May, or more than France, Holland, Bel­ gium and Spain taken together. It is not long since a Greek was a curi­ osity. even in the largest cities of the United States. These changes are making the American nation more than ever a condensation or amalgamation of the civilized world. The elements of the population which were formerly in almost exclusive possession o_f this country are receiving comparatively few accessions from Europe, while the large additions made to the American nation are from parts of the old world which have been least adequately represented in the great composite which is the chief hope of human progress. It is a part of the general equaliz­ ing process going on all over the world. The countries which are most progressive are leading others upward, and those which are most backward are struggling toward bet­ ter conditions than they have known in the past. They are sending many of their most enterprising sons and laughters to distant lands, and the currents of migration and commerce alike are doing a vast work for the development of civilization and the welfare of the human race. I A housekeeper suggests the follow Ing di-hes for a cold luncheon on a hot (luv. ruy* the New York Tribune. With such a bill of fare the meal may be prepared long before the gue.ts ar­ rive: Sandwiches spread with chopped meat, veal loaf, deviled eggs, vegetable salad, cottage cheese, gela­ tin with cream, custard or ice errant and angel cake. Olives and radishes may accompany both courses. Maple fudge is liked better by many­ persons than chocolate. Put into a saucepan one-half cupful of granulated sugar. I'/i cupfuls of »craped maple sugar and a cupful of milk. When the sugar's melted and the mixture hot add two tablespoonfuls of butter and boil for 20 minutes. When it hardens in cold water, it is done. Upon removing it from the fire add a teaspootiful of vanilla. Begin to beat as soon as it comes from the fire. When it shows signs of granulation turn into but­ tered, shallow tins, and when cool enough mark into squares. Two table­ spoonfuls of grated coeoanut and a cupful of walnut or hickorynut« may be added, if they are wanted-, with the vanilla. .Mint bags for the linen closet are liked by some persons. Put into littly silk bags a mixture made of a pound of dried lavender, an ounce of thyme, an ounce of mint, an ounce of ground cloves and caraway seeds and a table­ spoonful of dry salt. A woman who has tried it avers that a watermelon may be kept for any length of time by varnishing its en­ tire surface, leaving no spot untouched and open to the air. Panned tomatoes are an excellent accompaniment for a roast of lamb or veal. Peel and cut in two six plump tomatoes. Put them in a pan with a tablespoonful of melted butter, and cook slowly on top of the stove for ten minutes. Then brown in the oven. Arrange the tomatoes on a hot plate and serve with a sauce made in the pan in which they cooked. For the sauce put another tablespoon fill of butter into the pan. and when it ba« melted cook in it for four minutestwo tablespoonfuls of flour, stirring it con­ stantly. Then add two cupfuls of milk, salt and pepper, and turn it over the tomatoes. Some housekeepers vary the flavor of potato salad by boiling the potatoes for it in stock, or. if it is more con­ venient. in the soup kettle. Dainty and seasonable sandwiches may be made of thin slice« of brown bread with mayonnaise and separated by a thin slice of a tart apple. Stewed okra is one of the dinner pos­ sibilities. Select the small green pods, and remove the stems and discolored tips. Put into boiling salted water and cook until tender. It will take about half an hour. Then drain; add a heap­ ing tablesnoonful of butter and a tablespoonful of vinegar, and season with jieoner and salt. Simmer until the blitter is absorbed, and serve hot. Experiments in canning pea* report­ ed in a government bulletin show that heating under pressure to secure a higher temperature than the ordinary boiling point. 212 decrees Fahrenheit, is necessary to insure keeping. Where a temperature of 242 degrees Fahren­ heit was maintained for about 30 min­ utes very few swelled cans resulted: at 232 degrees a much Inrger number spoiled. This shows that it ic hardly wise for the average honsekeener to attempt to can any of the fruit» and vegetable« most liable to spoil. STEALING IN CUBA BEGINS.
