 There is no need for alarm over the blockade of Port Arthur. The war will not end until not a single Japanese is left alive in Korea. The success of the Rus sian arms will reassert the international laws defied by London and Washington, which ave recognized Japan's subjuga- ton of neutral Korea"

It is claimed on behalf of Turner that he is only a theoretical anarchist. He came to the United States to engage 9n featuring and writing The application for release on bail was partly to permit Turner to i'll his engagements in other countries.

REASON FOR THE HASTE
Leaders Want No Good Roads
 Bill.
Measure Establishing Civil Pension f List is Also Looked on With
 Alarm by the Heads
 of the Party.
Advertiser Bureau. Colorado Building,

Washington. Feb. %. It Is matter of some speculation here
 why the Republican leaders as well as
 thePresident are so very anxious to bring
 the present session of Congress to an early end.
 It appears to be the one topic of con-
 versation both at the Capitol building and at the various hotels where the na- tfonal legislators are wont to congre- gate. We must get away soon," is the rel frain to the song which Is being sung by the Republicans members of high and low degree everywhere. until those not in their confidence begin to suspect that there is ''nigger In the woodpile" some where,
 There does not seem to be any very ur- gent reason why the long term of Con- gress should be so abruptly terminated. though 1t cannot be denied that excep- tionaily rapid progress has been made by Congress thus far in the consideration and disposition of the several appropria- ttons bills It begins to be suspected, however, that method Is in this undue haste. The administration is said to be very much alarmed at the public clanor for the passage of good roads bili' at this session. as well as at the determined effort which Is being made by interested parties to have 8 service pension law placed on the statute books before the close of the current session.
 Thousands upon thousands. of commu- nications are pOUrning in upon the mem bers of the national legislature in support Of both Of these two measures, which, it Is, estimated. will cost the government millions upon millions of dollars. The national exehequer Is in no condition to stand this drain and 1t Id to prevent if possible further discussion of the subject that the order has gone out that Con. gress must hurry and set away
 Representative Daixeli of peuansylvania one Of the House ehieftains, has notified the RtpnblIcan leaders of the S2rkte thai ]se win bs prepared sS 5sAvS fy < J5s "A prfation bill out of the House and in readiness for action by the Senate by March IS, g suggestion which has been
 met by a counter one from the Senate that, in that event, an adjournment of Congress may be taken by April |, as only two weeks will be needed to dis pose of the last appropriation bill after It's receipt from the House.
 This will be rushing things with a de- gree Of atrenuousness characteristic of the present occupant of the White House and. 1t Is inferred, cannot fail to be hish- ly gratifying to him. It is not a pleasing prospect, however, to the smaller fry who have little local bills pending and who would like to get them out of the way. They find themselves unable to get consideration on these measures hy inc various committees, or where fayorahIa reports have been made, are vainly seek ing to get recognition from the Speaker for their passage.

 It is estimated that so.0o0 Japanese troops have landed at Chemulpo. The transports now are not escorted by war vessels.
 The Japanese sailors who manned the merchant vessels which were sunk at Port Arthur. on landing here, shaved their heads as a mark of the disgrace they felt at the failure of the project.

There seems to have been a mis-.
