relieved me so quickly and so thorough

LOST IN LAND FIGHT
Engagement Said to Have Occurred
ilonday Disastrous to Russians.
St. Petersburg, By Cable.---General
Kuropatkin, in his first dispatch to the
Emperor from the scene of war, an
nounced that offensive land operations
had taken place against the Japanese
upon the sixth aunivers. ry of the oc
cupation of Port Arthur by the Rus
sians. There operatiohs took the form
if a c?vairy attack Tuesday by six
?.ompauies bf Cossacks, lcd p?rson?lly
by General Mishtch?nk? against four
squadrons of Japanese cavalry. whicii
the general believed to be beyond
Chong Ju, but which he found to be In
occupation of that town.
Despite a cross fire which General
Mishtchenko cleverly directed against
the enemy, he pays tribute to their te
nacity and bravery, the Japanese only
?easing to fire afier a combat which
lasted for half an hour. Before the
Russians could follow up their advance
three squadrons galloped toward the
town, of which two succeeded in en
tering, while the third was driven back
in disorder, men and horses falling.
The Cossacks have been endeavoring
?or some days to come in contact with
the Japanese patrols, but the latter re
fused to combat. This skirmish will
lave the effect of encouraging the Rus
sians to relaid as much as possible the
idvance of the Japanese army.
General Kuropatkin's dispatch, re
porting General Mishtchenko's opera
tions, as published, does not give the
olaee of its origin, but lt is presumed
;hat thc commander-in-chief is either
it Liao Yang or enroute to > w

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
Gorman L'?ea Plain Language About
Toe Administration,
Senate?
The Senate Wednesday began consid
eration of the postoffice appropriation
bill and it was the signal for a revival
of the Democratic demand for an in
vestigation into the charges of corrup
tion ia tii? Postbffice Department;
The debate was Initiated by Mr; Gor
man, who spoke for almost two hours
In criticism bf the course of the Re
publican party in the Senate In refus
ing an inquiry. Mr. Gorman referred td
the hasty consideration and report of
the bill and asserted that there bad
been persistent denial of the investi
gation of the affairs of the Postoffice
Department. He urged that it was not
yet too late to take steps to prevent
"further robbery'- and thievery in the
Department.
"It is said," he went on, '"that Con
gress must adjourn speedily; that from
ene source a request amounting to or
ders has gone out; that It Is inconven
ient for ene branch of tho government
to have Congress on its hands; that
if there ls delay there are likely to he
disagreeable inferences from what has
already been developed.
"We have reached* a rime when thera
is much preaching of honesty and high
mindedness, but corruption bubbles
out. It came like a fog, and has not yet
lifted and we cannot tell whether all
the information is yet out"
tor. Gorman referred to the charges
made by the Postoffice Department,
saying he believed they had been made
for the purpose of diverting attention
from the guilty ones who had filched
money from the Treasury .and abused
their trusts. As for himself he was of
the opinion that the members had net
gone more in the matter than their
public duties required. Mr. Gorman
called attention to the habit of criti
I ciBing men engaged In executive work
and he concluded that this criticism
grew, out of a well-directed effort to
build up a one-man, Czar-like govern
ment. '
"So far, indeed, had this pla? pro
gressed that legislation has come to
be practically a farce, all important
measures being dictated by the execu
tive. It was coming to be that only an
executive order was necessary to get
an appropriation. The result*is that
Congress becomes a mere recording
body.
"We are told." he continued, "that
having approved the plans of the ex
ecutive we must adjourn and go home
because of the fear o' damaging dis
closures;. The 'fear is so great that we
are iq be sent away and not to be al
lowed to do anything."
He. then referred to some of the
pending legislation and included iii the
list Mr. Foraker'a bill for the amend
ment to the anti-trust law regard
ing transportation. He referred to At
torney General Knox's statement re
garding this hill, saying that it was not
a department measure. "Think of lt,"
.said Mr. Gorman. "Notice Is given to
Congress that nothing should be done
in the way of legislation without con
sulting the administration."
The. American people do not want
one-man control, Mr. Gorman contend
ed. He hoped that such action would
be taken as would prevent one-man
control in the next four years, whoso
ever, might fill the White House.
" Mr. Gorman closed with the declara
tion cf the conviction that the Post
office Department was ' honey-combed
with corruption and inefficiency."
Mr. Penrose, chairman of the com
mittee on postoffices, said that while
TTe'UWftoriginally favored an inveatlga
tion.^iie has now reached the conclu
sion that none was necessary.
Mr. Penrose challenged the accuracy
of Mr. Gorman's statement that extra
ordinary haste had been exercised by
the committe? on postoffices in the pre
paration nf the bill. The subject mat
ter of the measure had been receiving
attention, he said, since last Decem
ber.
Mr. Lodge sustained Mr. Penrose's
Etatement that there had been no un
due haste in bringing the postoffice
bill, into the Senate. It wat? true that
the committee had clone all In its pow
er to promote an early adjournment.
"The party in power," ho proceed?
ed, "has deemed it beat to bring about
an early adjournment if it could be
done. So far as I am aware there have
been no instructions received from any
body la any quarter. I was not on this
side of the chamber that the expres
sion "cuckoo" originated. That word
IE chargeable to the Senator from Ala
bama and applied to his side of the
chamber." It al?o should be brone in
mind, he said, that thc charge that a
Fresideut has said that he wanted to
get Congress oft his hands was to be
traced to a Democratic President, and
Mr. Gorman had gotten his Presidents
mixed.
In the House.
Substantial progress was made
Wednesday by the House, In the con
sideration of the sundry civil bill,
fifty-one pages being disposed of, leav
ing only twenty-one to be read. No
amendments of general importance
were read.
Mr. Bartlett, of Georgia, briefly re
plied to the statements of Mr. Gillett,
of Massachusetts, made last Monday
on the negro question. He said Mr
Gillett had lectured the South for ter
rain alleged outrages and violations
of the law. He declared that Massa
chusetts was not free from tho charge
of disregard of the law, even though
that ?tate may claim to be . more re
fined than others. He cited an in
stance where a mob In Marlon, Mass.,
In 1902. had tarred and feathered a
man and woman, and he said the
peri'Ortratcrs of the outrage had been
acquitted and marched through the
streets as heroes. He read from sta
tistics of Massachusetts showing the
number of the "disgraceful" marri
ages of whites with negroes in the
ci tv of Boston. If these facts are
true. Mr. Bartlett said, "the teachers
of the gentleman from Massachusetts
and those who believe as he does, are
com in g like chickens, home to roost."
He did not believe, ho declared, that
the people of Massachusetts enter
tained nor re-echoed the sentiments
of Mr. Gillett. While the people of
Massachusetts may have peculiar no
tions as to some things, And may be
stern in their convictions, they at
least have awakened to believe that
the people of the'South are entitled
to wor this problem In their own
way. "as God shall will it." He add
ed these people would work lt out
"with the help of our brethren of the
North. If we ca nhave lt, but If not,
we will work it out without their
help. To such as Mr. Gillett, con
tinued Mr. Bartlett, "we will say thal
your opinion and criticism meet with

Kept Away by Fog.
London. By Cable.-The Times
prints a dispatch from its correspon
dent at Wei ai Wei which says: "Have
just returned after a 190-mile cruise
and I saw nothing of either the Rus
sian or the Japanese fleets, though the
watch reported flash signalling at
about 4 o'clock this morning. 1 was
debarred from running close to Port
Arthur by a heavy fog and I Imagine
that the weather is too thick for toe
Japanese to remain close to Port Ar
thur, in view of the strength of the
Russians in tfusir <orp'do boat de
stroyers."
.g j '? COMMERCIAL LATlM, r\*
Volapuk and Esperanto Already dead
. Languages-Wonderful Discovery.
The necessity for a universal lan
guage has now passed beyond the
realm ol discussion. With the rail*
roads, the high speed steamers, the
telegraph and the telephone bringing
human beings closer together every
day, it ls outrageous that speech
Should still continue to separte them;
Let us, therefore, unify ail langaugss.
But what language Will the trust of
mankind speak? A living language
is not to be considered; the national
pride of too many h?tions would have
td be encountered. Artificial lan
guages have no prospect of success;
they are too arbitrary. Under the
plea of- progress, Esperanto, which
superseded Volapuk, is already op
posed by the "Neutral Language" and
by the "Common Tongue."
Dr. Colombo asserts that only a
dead language has any chance of suc
cess, and that Latin is the most avail
able. To begin with, It ?3 not a lan
guage that is to be made; it is already
constituted; it is taught in all coun
tries. Ten million persons can speak
It, and, being more synthetic than
any other, it is eminently the lan
guage of the telegraph.
But it is said that Latia is a diffi
cult language. Yes, If literary Latin
is meant; and that is why the periodi
cals printed in that langvage in Leip
sic, in Berlin and in Rome have their
subscribers only among ihe learned;
no, if commercial Latin is- meant. Th*?
latter is as simple as anything can
be. The sailors, the soldiers, and the
merchants of Rome, taught It without
difficulty to the barbarians who dwelt
along the Seine, the Thames, the
Rhine, the Nile and the Euphrates.
Tr:. Colombo declares that he has
rediscovered commercial Latin in the
ruins of Pompeii. It has no deponent
verbs; the passive is formed in all
cases by means of the auxiliary
"sum;." it employs the shortest words;
Its grammar is reduced to a minimum,
and It has no amphibologies. This
kind of Latin Is clearness Itself, and
can be mastered in a few lessons by a
schoolboy.
If it should be adopted as the uni
versal language, the weary years
wasted over lt by so many mediocre
students in tbe higher educational in
stitutions will immediately become
time usefully employed.

tic Union of the Cote d'Azur. Dr. Co

THESE BIRDS ARE INGENIOUS.
Use Spectacle Framen and Clock
Springs fer Their Nests.
The crows of the orient are said to
be far advanced in the art of stealing
beyond the crows of this country. The
story Is told of a pair of crows at Bom
bay that robbed an optician of spec
tacle frames, entering his room re
peatedly for that purpose! These birds
camed off eighty-four spectacle frames
of gold, silver and steel, which were
so Ingeniously woven together In their
nest that it was a veritable work of
art.
In the Swiss Museum of Natural His
tory at. Soleure is a wagtail's nest built
entirely of clock springs. Several
clockmakers' shops were near, where
tho waste lay scattered about the I
doors. This the birds had woven with
much ingenuity into a nest more than
for four Inches across and entirely I
comfortable for the little family;
