Mfr. Fitzgerald of New York Makes Pointed Statements in Speak ing to the Pending Ap-
 priation Bill.

Washington, Feb. 1s.-The House today began consideration of the naval appro- priation bill. ten hours being allowed for general debate.
 During the general discussion. Mir. Fitz- gerald Dem., N. Y.) declared that our naval program was to procure q naval force greater than that of Germany. He further said:
 Tn all sections of the country the con- viction. rightly or wrongly, is firm that the present occupant of the White House Is apt to involve us in war with some other. nation." adding that the same belief had been with respect with the head of another great nation, which may ac- count" he went on, flor the fact that al a dinner on LAncoln's birthday at Grand Rapids, Mich. the highest compliment that Baron won Sternberg thought that he could pay to President Roosevelt, was to declare that he very greatly resembled the Emperor of Germany"
 Mir. Fitzgerald said further that If the prevailing belief Is justified and # the President Is to be given four years of power in his own right, now that the great representative of the conservative force of the Republican party, the late Senator from Ohio, Mir. Hanna. is gone to his re- ward, it may be wise for us to outdo even Great Britain in our naval program. should he (the President) not be made to feel that the sentiment of the country is for peace and not for strife.

FIGHT WILL BE FIERCE
STRUGGLE FOR POLITICAL CON
 TROL OF NEW STATES.
Republicans Admit That the Chances Are in Favor of the Democrats. Burleson Has New
 Bill,
Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building,


 It Is thought now that the long fight of the people of Oklahoma, Indian Tel ritory. New Mexico and Arizona for ad- mission into the Union Is soon to come to a close.
 The program of the Republicans Is tc admit Oklahoma and the Indian Territory as one State and the other two territories as another State. It is expected that C report of this kind will soon be made but formal action may be delayed until the short session.
 Residents of all the territories have brought immense pressure to bear on the present Congress.
 The program as outlined will not be entirely satisfactory, and the single Statehood contingent will strongly op- pose the bill. It is thought the plan that seems to have been agreed upon will be put through without much change.
 The contest has been long and bitter Several times, 1t seemed, the Territo- ries would win their struggle, but the fear of political reverse caused eact party to move with caution.
 The battle for the political control oi the two new States, after they are ad mitted, is expected to be the fiercest tht Democrats and Republicans of the Soutf west ever Waged. The Republicans con cede that the chances favor the Demo crats, but they no longer have a goot reason for opposing statehood and ar' afraid further delay will be used agains them.

POLICE ABET BETTING
ATTEMPT TO PREVENT POSSE FROM RAIDTNG POOL BOOM.
Riot is Precdpitated in Which sev- eral Men are injured Injured, One of Whom May Dis of
 Wounds.

St. Louis, Feb. 19.--In an effort to close up a pool room that has for long time operated in the outskirts of Madison H., across the river from St. Louis, three constables, augmented by a posse of cit izens and bearing warrants for the arrest of six men connected with the pool room, precipitated a riot late to-day which resulted in the shooting of six men. One may die.
 Wounded: Lee Harlan. druggist. prob ably mortally; William Schooley. posse man; Edward Harris, spectator, not se- riously: Edward Downs, seriously; two unknown, not seriously.
 Warrants had been sworn out before Justice of the Peace Isemeyer. of Gran ite City, adjoining Madison. and placed in the hands of Constable John Glass and two other constables for the arrest of Whitfield Brooks and Eugene Wall, of Granite City, and Thomas Riley, Charles Greenfield, Thomas Manley and Martin Johns, of St. Louis. charging them with being connected with the pool room.
 After the failure of the Madison coun- ty Grand Jury, which recently investi- gated the pool room. to return indict- ments, citizens took the matter in hand with the intention of having the room closed. r+t
 Several days ago warrants were issued for State Senator David Nelson. of Mis- souTi, charging him with being a pool seller, and Victor Schuler. charging him with conducting the pool room and be- ing custodian of the funds. Schule was arrested yesterday. and gave bond of $500 pending a hearing.
 The additional warrants were sworn out to-day. and the three constables ap- peared at the pool room to serve them Two policemen were within and declared they had arrested the operators of the pool room and were guarding them.
 Betting was going on as usual at the time. The constables were ordered to leave the premises. which they did after argument. Proceeding through the neighborhood for the next half hour the constables organized posse of armed citizens numbering about fifty persons
 The constables and posse then return ed to the pool room and entered. They were at once ordered out and the doors were ordered locked. The posse demurred and words followed. One posse man, it is said, pointed a shotgun at Policeman McCembridge. who fired a revolver point ed at the ceiling. Firing then became general. The policeman was badly beat en.

cordingiy. the Imperial Chinese Govern nent may rest assured that the mauso- lems and palaces at Mukden and Hsing- Kiang and public buildings in China ev. anywhere will be secure from any injury not attributable to ths action of Russia.
 Furthermore the rights of Chinese of- ficials and inhabitants in the sone of military operations will in their persons and property be fully respected and pro- tected by. the imperial forces, so far as military necessity permits. In the event however. that they should extend aid or comfort to the enemy of Japan, the im- periai government reserves to themselves the right to take such, action as the cir cumstances require.
 It remains to say in conclusion that the war Is not being waged by the Japanese for the purpose of conquest, but solely in defense of her legitimate interests and consequently the imperial government have no intention to acquire territory at the sexpense of China as result of the conflict.
 The imperial government also wish the imperial Chinese Government to clearly understand that whatever action may be taken by them on Chinese territory which Is made the theatre of war Is tho result of military necessity and not im- pairment of Chinese sovereignty.

NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Little Credence is Given Reports by
 London Press.


 London, Feb. 20-No great importance is attached to the stories published In Paris and elsewhere on the continent of alleged intrigues looking to the coalition of Russia France and Germany, the be- lief being that 1t is to the interest of all the powers to take steps that the strug- gle be localized. At the same time 1t Is recognized that in all three of those countries there is very strong feeling against Great Britain on account of her alIiane with Japan and as Germany and France joined win Russia in 1895 against Japan, it was natural for Russia to seek assistance in her difficulties. This argu- nent is. therefore. made that ie behooves Great Britain to be prepared for any and all eventuaiities
 The important news of the absolution of the Russian censorship has not yet reached the English newspapers.
 Russian dispatches to the London press record the rapid growth of anti-British feeling. According to the KieR corre- spondent of The Standard, many English boys have been withdrawn from Russian schools owing to the annoyances and in- suits to which they were subjectew, and there is evidence in the restaurants and other public resorts that the position of the British residents in Kieff would ve very dangerous should Great Britain be- come involved in the Russo-Japanese issue
 The Tientsin correspondent of The Daily Mall supplies a new version of the loss of the Russian cruiser Boyarin, obtained from an officer who survived the breking up of the Russian torpedo transport Yenisei. This ofiicer says the day following the Eenesei's capture February IS. a violent storm brought many mines to the surface of the waters at Port Arthur. The Boyar- in was sent to assist in securing them. but she got caught in the storm and was driven on the rocks and totally destroyed.
 If this account is correct it explains the Russian, ofiedai deniaIs that the Boyarin was torpedoed by the Japanese or she was bIewn up as a result of accidental contact with a Russian mine at Port Arthur.

St. Petersburg. Feb. 1s.-The Russian Government today abolished the censor ship upon all news and other telegrams going abroad.
 The lifting of the embargo which has existed for generations upon the free transmission of news from the Russian empire. came aa direct result of cen- sideration of the subject by the Czar himself, and in some respects this abolition Is regarded here as the most important act since the emancipation of the serfs.
 Under q regime allowing perfect free dom to the foreign press, it is believed that Russia will soon cease to be con- stantly subject to underground attack and that she will see herself through honest spectacIes.
 The Victims of Islanders.
 .'For years," said a prominent official to the Associated Press today tour country has been the victim of every imaginable islander and misrepresenta- ton because 1t was known that tele- grams addressed to foreign news sources went through the hands of the Russian censor. Any story. no matter how bass- less or exaggerated that was sent sur- reptitiousfy across the border. was greedily accepted abroad, especially by the Russophohes, as true, because the government would not put It's of1cial stamp upon it.
 "Regular anti-Russian news factories have been in operation in Berlin, Vienna and elsewhere and these have spread the most absurd and preposterous Iibels sup> piled by the enemies of Russia. Every act of the government has been twisted and distorted. Insignificant student af- fairs or workmens' riots such as would not attract general attention elsewhere. have been magnified Into great move- nents of popular discomfort. By such things certain portions of the world have been led to believe that Russin was per- .petually on the eve of . great revoluti ion.
