FRENCH PRESS INDIGNANT.
Denounces the Course of the Jap
aneSe.

PARIS, February 1O.-The newspa pers
this morning unanimously denounce Japan S
action in attacking the Russian ships at
Port Arthur before a formal declaration of
war as traitorous, worthy of savages and
contrary TO the laws OF nations.
Pro-Russian sympathies are universally
expressed, but an equally conspicuous note
is the satisfaction with the proba bility,
which is considered almost a certainty, that
hostiiues will be localized to the present
beligerents.
AS the day wore on great wave of popu-
lar sympathy for Russia was brought out
by the news of the engagement off Port
Arthur The newspapers, without excep-
ton. severely arraigned Japan. The Temps,
semi official, said:
'Japan's brutality in making a night at
tack before a declaration of war is her
second OffenSe against the rules of interna-
tionai law
The Journal Des Debats declares Japan's
action was contrary to the accepted rules
Of International law. giving promise that
Japan proposes to conduct the war with
out regard to modern USageS Of warfare.
The Patrie gives sensational prominence
to its assertion that Japan committed an
act of International treason, compares the
attack on the Russian fleet off Port Arthu,
with the blowing up of the Maine, and as
serts that Europe will hold Japan re-
sponsiDe for this treason"
The author ties on international law who
were interviewed on the subject expressed
the belief that Japan committed a breach
of international Law.
Notwithstanding this bitterness however
universal recognition was given of Japan's
audacitV. and IL was evident that Japan's
naval prestige had been materially in
cleJsSd.
The Associated Press was informed by q
high Russian authority that now Japar
has begun war, the Russian government ex-
poets that the various states will issue
proCiamations of neutrality.
In Russian diplomatic circles the success
OF Japan naturally aroused the greatest re-
greet. 1t was frankly admitted that Russia
expected to be defeated upon the sea, but
1T was added that she would certainly con.
quer on land.

ton declaring Mr.. ConneIl elected.
All interest eentered around Mr.. Shiras,
a republican member from Pennsylvania,
when time was granted to him by the
minority. His desk was at once sur
rounded, most Of the minority members
crossing over to the republican side of
the chamber to hear him. He announced
that he was unable to concur in the rec
ommendation of his. colleagues that Mr..
Howell should be unseated, contending
that the finding of the majority was not
justified by the evidence
Mr.. Shras criticised the findings of the
majority of the committee. asserting that
a vast amount of the evidence before the
committee should not have been considered
In reaching conclusions. He was applauded
by the minority
Mr.. Kennedy Ohio supported Mr.. Con-
nell.
Mr.. tanning, republican from New Jer-
sey, dissented from the majority report.
saying he believed Mr. Howell was entitled
to the seat under the evidence.

ADMIRAL w1sE,s INSTRUCTIONS.
Will Protect American Interests in San
Domingo,

Specific instructions have been cabled
Rear Admiral Wise, commanding the train
ing squadron In Dominican waters, regard
ing the protection of American interests
there His report that the Clyde Line
steamer New York had been fired on by
a government gunboat caused Indignation
in official circles here, and it was said
at the Navy Department today that the
probable course of action after such an
outrage would be the seizure of the gun
boat by Rear Admiral Wise, in which event
1t would probably be lowed to Guantanamo.
Drastic measures will be taken by this
government to end the anarchy in San
Domingo. Continued violation OF inter-
national law, destruction of American prop
erty and disregard of foreign interests have
convinced officials that affairs there can be
best improved by force. Its handling has
been turned over to the navy and Secre-
tary Moody has sent supplementary in
structions to Rear Admiral Wise, giving
him wide latitude in the course he is to
follow. He has been told in word. to
protect by force American interests and to
deal with each case on its own merits.
The reports received from the island show,
as an official expressed it, that the con-
dition of affairs there is ''semi -barbaric.

lection from fire will it is thought, appeal
with new force to the average mind
Judging from the inquiries received a.
the offices OF fire insurance companies some
persons have been rendered uneasy by the
losses which have been incurred by some
companies and they are inclined to cancel
their policies and take out new ones in
companies that were not effected by the
great fire. This method of adding to the
weight of the ssster by taking away bust
ness does not meet with the approval OF
ire insurance men, they are not in
cined TO profit by the misfortunes OF their
associates This is especially the case with
companies that are amply able to meet
their losses. owing to the abundance of
their surplus fund
The only local. fire insurance company
that has suffered any considerable loss is
the Potomac Company. 1t is estimated that
lis liabil ties growing out of this fire are
about S1Oo.Wa which can readily be met
as the net surplus of the company is slSs

amounts to Sl9s. making am aggregate
