MAY oIvR UP POSTAL INQUIRY.
Senate Now Looks With Little Favor up
On an Investigation.

Washington, April Is. - President
Roosevelt had an important conference
today with Senators Aldrich, Spooner
and Penrose, the last named being the
chairman of the committee of post
offices and postroads. The conference
related to the proposed investigation by
a senate committee of the affairs of the
postofhce department. Altparties to it
were reticent as to the details of the in-
terview, but7enough is known about it
to indicate that an inquiry into the
postal affairs is not so hkley to be au-
thorized as it was a day OF two ago.
The subject is being considered conf
dentially by the senate leaders, and
definite decision, one way or the other,
may be reached soon. Objections to
congressional investigation have been
suggested which may induce the senate
to abandon the proposition altogether.
A searching investigation into the
affairs of the Washington and New
York postofices is now being con.
Quoted. These inquiries were insti-
tuted by the president himself, and
they are being made very thorough.
In addition to these inquiries, Messrs.
Conrad and Bonaparte, under general
instructions from the president, are
still pursuing their investigation into
postotfice department matters.

Cause No Damage.

gram from Admiral Alexieff from Port
Arthur to the emperor says that from

bombarded the fortress and the town
alternately from the Lao Tshan prom
ontory, firing 1856 proiectiles.
The Russian squadron, including the
battleship Pobieda, replied from the
anchorage by q plunging fire. The
batteries also participated.
The losses on land were seven Chi.
nese killed and five soldiers and three
Chinese wounded.
The Russian warships sustained no
damage and there was no loss Of Life
on them.
This attack is taken here to show
Admiral Togo has not given up his
purpose of damaging the rest OF the
Russian ships, now that there is little
possibility Of them again going to sea.
Unquestionably he is aware Of the
effect Of his previous bombardnent.
and the fact that he has repeated it in
dicates to the officers here that he be-
lievee there is good chance for pro-
jectile hitting target. In order to
drop shell into the harbor or city, q
high angle fire is necessary. This is
the reason the Japanese squadron took
up position at Lao Tishan. Other
commandments were from the same
point, which, at the time, did not
seem to be within the range of the Rus
sian batteries.

CHAPTER XIII

Captain Peterson, merchant service, re-
ceived the ultimatum of Miss Sarah East
bell with his customary sang froid. He
was man whom II took great deal to
disturb, or who concealed his annoyance
by an enviable semblance of imperturba-
bility.
AFTER that, need not trespass further
on your time" he said. II will communi-
cate with Thomas at once"
He unlocked the door and went to the
landing place beyond, closing and locking
the door behind him. Finally he went
down the rickety stairs, which were
crumbling to pieces with the house. halt
ed at the bottom of the next fight, and
listened at the right-hand door, as though
there were another prisoner close at
hand, The door was not locked, and he
opened 1t softly, and put his head into
the room beyond, Withdrawing it In ST.
lence, as II contented with what had met
his gaze; and proceeding down another
fight Of stairs, to room on the ground
floor, where three tall men, In shirt
sleeves, were covering before q FIRE. II
these men were Petersons, Captain Ed
ward had taken the good looks of the
family to himself

said In a quick, sharp voice, ''but there
may be more to do"
"How's thatW inquired scoundrel num-
Der one; we've done enough now to get
ourselves Jagged for ten years."
Its not easy" said Peterson, "but
II must be gone on with at any risk.
Failure means Worcester Jail, success
means ten thousand pounds between us
ALL"
He had mentioned fifteen thousand
pounds upstairs, but he and Thomas
Eastbell were keeping an extra FIVE thou
sand to themselves. Edward Peterson
did not tell his brothers everything when
money was in question.
What more is to be done1" asked the
first scoundrel, who was the worst-tem-
pered and most disputatious member. of
the gang
You will know when It's necessary"
was the short answer; "at present the
young lady Is refractory"
"Will the girl sign the check before the
day is outT that's the question:" asked
number one, "for we can't go on like
this"
II have said that it's her money or her
life, and l mean It'll She will be back to-
night at Sedge Hill, or she will never re-
turn again. Mark that. Do you think
any woman would prefer to be found in
the Severn, to paying away money that
she can afford to part with2"
1--WE don't want to hear anything about
the Severn" said the first scoundrel; "you
know what's safe better than we do, but
We'll have no hand in It. Dennis and |

Ing was the order Of the day.
No one confoundcd the name Of Jack
son with Peterson--and Il was possibly

own name when he went with Thomas
Eastbeli 20 Sedge Hin. II kept matters
clear and distinct, though he had not bar
gained for Sarah Eastbell's good MEM
ory, or imagined that be was known 10
her by sight.
IL was he who unlocked the door Of
Sarah's extempore cell at seven In the
morning, and stood before her, the ayow-
ed agent Of her captivity.
Il have come to apologize for my
friends rough treatment Of last night"
he said, reclining languidly against the
wall. and crossing his gloyed hands, one
with a very glossy hat IN II, "and 10 cx-
press hope that you have suffered no
Inconvenience from your temporary with

customed TO adorn. !, for one," he add
ed with low bow, should regret very
much 20 hear one word Of complaint"
This Ii your work then" said Sarah
bitterly; ''it ls as I suspected. Tell me
what my brother wantsT'
II would say a fair redress for the
Injury which you have done him. Your
grandmother Is rich, and will leave you
oil her money. And your only brother,
man Of many admirable qualities
will be left TO drag on his life In Indi-
gence, and 10 die In utter abjectness Of
spirit, without you assist him as fairly
and literally as a fond sister should do.
Thomas, who Is In difficulties, wants If

Sarah drew sudden and deep breath,
but did not reply. The thin face Of the
woman STOPPING over the FIRE peered
round at her, horrible In its eagerness
and greed.
Fifteen thousand pounds only from
that immense fortune which must come
TO you when old Mrs. Eastbell dies, the
simple conditions being that tho Eum
must be paid at once, as your brother Is
very poor, and there ls a balance Of six
eight pounds lodged at your bankers, in
your name, for the convenience Of a cur
rent account"
How do you know what money Is
lodged In my name at the bankT'
Thomas tells me--that IL all. He
sent me here with your check book--he
found that In your desk, too, he tells me-
You have only to draw a draft for the
amount, and you are free, Miss Eastbell.
promised friend of yours that you
should be at Sedge Hin this evening.
Miss Holland will tell you everything to-
night" he said as he drew the check
book from his pocket and pitched 1t care
Iessly upon the deal table that was there.
Il have left everything for that young
lady to explain. 1t Is story apart from
yours, and suits not my style of narra-
tive"
This money Is held In trust for an
other" she said; ''it belongs neither to
me nor to my grandmother"
'If TO Mr.. Culwick, we--I should say,
your brother Thomas objects to the title"
Let him." cried Sarah with a sudden
outburst Of anger.
"Am to understand then"
THAT l will not sign one of those
checks. Yes, understand that for your
friend. You may kill me-" she cried,
but you shall not touch penny of Reu-
ben Culwick's money"

WAR LOSS srUNs.
RHssia Finds japanese Also Sunk 6
Torpedo Boat.

tVFPeao DoaL
st. Petersburg, April 16.-On the
heels Of the announcement Of the sink
ing Of the battleship PetropavIovsk
comes the news that the Japanese sur.
rounded and sunk the torpedo boat dss-
troyer Bezstrashni. Only FIVE Of her
crew escaped, although 1t is probable
some were taken prisoners.
News Of the reverse was communi-
Gated to the car by Admiral Oukoms- s
sky. He wired today that the destroy
ers and four cOnsorts were outside
scouting during the night. The Bees
trashni Jagged behind and became lost
in the mist. When day broke. she
tried TO creep in along the coast but
was discovered, cut off, overpowered
and sunk. Admiral 0ukomstky's dis
patch concludes as follows:
~ have taken command provision
ally Of the feet since the disaster to
the Petropavlovsk. During some ma
neuvering of the battleship squadron
the Pobieda struck against a mine
amidships on the starboard side She
was able to regain port by herself. No
one on board of her was killed or
wounded"
The Russian word in the text Of the
official dispatch describing the accident
to the Pobieda means either "mine" or
torpedo" but the qualifying adjective
indicates something moving toward the
ship. This dispatch puts an end to
the idea prevailing here that there had
been an engagement following the dis
aster to the Petropavlovsk. 1t is con-
sidered remarkable here that the jap
anese did not take advantage Of this
terrible accident to attack Port Arthur.

Thirty'nine Cents Is the Cost of Max.
ing One In the Old Dominion.
A local business man who was once
the representative of one of the big
mercantile agencies tells a story of
how he became a member of the bar
in the State of Virginia a number of
years ago. He had occasion to 60 to
one Of the inland counties of the State
to make an examination of the county
records in order to ascertain the stand
ing In the county Of number of coun-
try merchants. Upon reaching the
railroad station he found 1t necessary
to drive distance of ten miles or more
over road which was a mere apology
for a highway, Reaching the county
seat, he went to the clerks office In the
courthouse and proceeded to look oveS
the records as he had done in many
other places without any objection be-
ing offered. While he was still ON his
first book he was asked by one Of the
clerks II he was member of the bar.
ANVb IA Virginia. AS answered IN q
tone indicating that he was a member
of the bar elsewhere.
'T'm sorry" said the young man,
"but in this county 1t is against the
rules for anybody other than a lawyer
to handle the books"
1t was explained to the clerk that the
legal talent in the firms employ could
not be found, and as the lawyer lived
more than two miles away he would
not have time to get him unless he
missed the next train.
"There will be no trouble In arrang-
ing the matter" the clerk informed the
Washingtonian.
Entering private room, the oath
subscribed to by attorneys was .ad-
ministered and a certificate showing
the stranger was full-hedged lawyer
was handed over to him.
''What shall I do now?" the clerk
was asked.
"Pay the fee," he answered.
"What Is the amountf"
"Thirty-nine cents" was the clerks
prompt response.
The money was paid and the man
from Washington returned home and
told how he became lawyer for the
small sum of 80 cents.--Washington

PENSION ITEM is $4,000. 900.
House Committee Completes General
Deficiency Appropriation Bill

Deficiency Appropriation Bill.
Washington, April 1o.--The house
committee on appropriations today COM
pleted the general deficiency appropria-
tiOn bill, carrying total of $40, $685.
744. The largest item in the bill is
$4,000, 900 for pensions. OF this sum,
81 SOC, 900 is an estimated deficiency
which will be caused by the execution
OF the recent service pension order.
The minority members of the commit
tee made fight against this amend
ment, and it was ordered reported by
PARTY vote.
AS the item is included, a minority
report accompanies that Of the major
ity to the house. Ths minority views
are signed by Underwood, Brundige.
Benton, Livingston and Pierce. Tay-
lor of Alabama, was absent. The con-
clusion of the minority is that there
was no warrant of law for the appropri-
alton of the million and half dollars
requested by the commissioner of PEN
sions requested for the purpose herein
stated. 1t quotes the recent order in
full, and says that while there are
members of congress who favor serv-
ice pension law. it is not wholly the
jurisdiction of the appropriations COM
mittee to consider the question. "0ur
duty" the report says, sis confined to
providing the money to pay the obliga-
tions of the United States contracted
under the law. The point we desire to
make is that there is no law on the
statute books of the United States that
allows the $1,50O,O00 appropriation
asked for by the commissioner of PEN
sions to pay the deciency caused by ex-
ecutive order, and We will move on the
floor of the house to reduce the appro-
priation asked for pensions to the ex-
tent Of 81, 100000 for that reason"
