GOVERNMENT DEFEAT.
I.Iish Leaders Hasten Downfall of
BalfOur Cabinet.

ILiSh Leaders Hasten Downfall of
Balfour Cabinet.
London March 16.-Premier Bal
tours government yesterday was de
feated in the house of commons by the
combined Liberal and Nationalist vote.
This reverse was due to the prohibition
by Mr.. Wyndham, secretary for Ire
land of the teaching of Gaelic in the
junior grades of the Irish Nationalist
schools.
Mr.. Balfour, although defeated by a
gard the vote as one of want of conf
dence. and he will not resign on this
account Has determination not to
resign was strengthened by the fact
that shortly after the foregoing defeat
he was able to secure majority of 25.
The failure of the government to
carry the house with it ON the question
of purely administrative policy in its
Irish department is generally admitted
to greatly weaken its already waning
prestige with the country, although it
is not thought probable that any i'm
mediate dissOlvement will ensue. In

ton. 1.-THE artillery of thee government

der Office
The Associated Press learns that Pre-
mier Balfour regards it as one of the
essential principles of his party to hold
onto the reins of government, for the
present at any rate. What he may do
after Easter still remains in doubt.
The blow administered makes the task
of the premier in holding his party to-
gether doubly difficult, and many sup
porters of the government frankly said
last night that they favored an early
dissolution of parliament rather tina n
again undergo similar humiliation.

Recall of Correspondents Prcsages
Early Advance.
London, March 16.-The dispatch
from Welhaiwei stating that the har-
bors of Korea were nearly free of ice
closely following on the report lhat the
japanese have recalled all correspond
ents from the headquarters of the army
at Pingyang, indicates that an import
ant movement is contemplated. The
japanese commanding general, Baron
Hasegawa, who, with the impreial
guards, will take the lead in the move
ment against the Russians north Of
the Yalu river, is strongly opposed to
permitting any correspondents to ac-
company his column until after the
first land battle has been fought, and
it is known that he has succeeded in
winning over to his way of thinking
the members of the staff.
1t is therefore argued that the north
ward movement, while possibly not
actually in progress, is but a matter
of short time. Gen. Hasegawa was
chief aide of Field Marshal Oyama
during the operations which resulted
in the capture of Port Arthur by the
Japanese i'll 1894, and is expected to
strike quickly and effectively. against
the Russian Notifications which COM
mand the passage of the Yalu. His
! advance column consists of four regi-
ments of infantry, three squadrons of
cavalry and an artillery force of 36
guns, a regiment of engineers, twelve
companies of heavy fortress artillery,
battalion, ammunition and supplies
columns, etc.
The advance will be supported by
the entire twelfth division of the jap
anese army, commanded by Maj. Gen.
InOuye.

SENSES OF REPTILES.
Hearing IL Much Poorer than Sight,
If pOuaihle.


If Possible.
In some aspects the reptile is SUI
perior to man. \ Vienna naturalist
named Werner has recently reported
the results of observations that he has
been making for some time on the
senses Of inferior vertebrates.
On certain points the conclusions Of
NJ. Werner are very surprising. and in
all they are worthy of notice. Werner
has observed 1856 individuals. of which
0ne-third were at liberty. and he took
all possible precautions not to let the
creatures know that they were watch
ed. One general fact is very evident
reptiles and amphibians are strongly
attracted by water. They go straight
toward it, even when they are at dis
tances so great that they could not di-
vine its presence by any of the senses
known to us. 1t seems really that
sense of which we have no knowledge
informs them Of the direction in which
water may be found. There
seems to be a sort of chemical attrac-
ton. says NJ Werner. But how does
tntS act, ana on WHdt part OI tut CIca-
ture! This remains n mystery.
Reptiles also seek the light. but in
dependently of that: they are positive
ly heliotrOpic. and in winter they often
leave comfortable and warm retreats
to seek the sunlight. Sight is generally
not good with them. 1t is probably
the finest sense they possess. but it
would still appear to be very limited.
The caymans and the crocOdiles cannot
distinguish a man at distance of
more than six times their length ac-
cording to Werner. In the water
fishes see only at very close range
about half their own length. This will
seem perhaps unlikely to anglers. al
though some of them can cite instances
showing that fish cannot see far.
Snakes seem to have very mediocre
sense of sight. The boa for example.
does not see at more than a quarter or
third Of its own length: different spe-
cies are limited to one-ffth or one
eighth Of their length. Frogs are better
off; they see at fifteen or twenty times
their length. Frog catchers know this
from experience.
Hearing Is much poorer than sight
II possible. Most reptiles are notice
ably deaf. except caymans and crO,o-
diies; the boa appears to be absolutely
so.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.
