to have left before, are still hesitat-

seeing what little effect the attacks Of
the japanese have had, are writing
for permission to return.
Tt is rumored the Chinese generals,
Chang and Ma, protest against the
neutrality Of China and have written
to Picking begging the government to
form an alliance with Japan.
1t is certain that some time ago the
Japanese attempted to land troops at
Chin-wan-tao, near Shan hai-kWan,
and that the Chinese would not allow
a violation in their territory.

From South Africa.

An Interesting letter was recently
received by r. "A. Miller, general pas
senger agent Of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul railway, from a
wealthy diamond hunter in the Orange
Free State, South Africa, who has just
returned to that place after two
years tour of the world. He says he
covered over thirty thousand miles
during the journey, and that the ride
of 40 miles from st. Paul to Chicago
on the Pioneer Limited in January,
1903, was by far the most enjoyable
part of the trip. He also states en-
phatically that nowhere in the world
can train service be found to compare
with that in the United States and
particularly that of the Milwaukee
road.

CENSORSHIP STRICT
London Newspapers Have Difficulty In
Getting Dispatches Thru.

New York Sun Special Service.
London, March 3.-The news agen-
eies and newspapers are having great
difficulty in getting dispatches from
Korea. The managers who have
made most elaborate arrangements
for covering field operations, admit
that they are receiving meager re-
turns for large expenditures, owing to
the rigorous censorship.
The Japanese authorities have hot
admitted any naval losses, but the
truth is gradually coming out that
they have had several vessels and de-
stroyers put out Of action. 1~>'> =t,@, 80
The dispatch printed to-day con-
tains a fresh budget of contradictions
and surmises. Rumors Of operations
by land and sea against Vladivostok
are revived and something is made of
the advance of the Japanese column
from Yuen-san on the east coast Of
Korea, but a. more plausible theory is
that the bulk Of the invading force is
concentrating at Ping Yang, with
Chinampho as a base, and the pickets
have been pushed forward as far as
ANU.

ACTION DEFERRED.

Commissioners Confer Tomorrow on
Hours Of Service for Clerks.
AT conference Of the Commissioners to
be held tomorrow morning the District au-
thorities will discuss and in all probability
dispose of, the question as to whether or
not employees of the District government
shall be required to work an additional half
hour each day. It is stated that the Com
missioners have deferred action In this mat
ter because of other urgent business, and
also In anticipation that the cabinet at Its
meeting today might decide that the de-
partmental employees should begin work at
$50 and quit at O'Clock, instead Of be-
ginning at am. and closing at 4:3O pm.
The Commissioners state that any action
Dy the District authorities with regard to
the hours of employment will be taken by
the board of Commissioners as q whole,
and upon the agreement of all the members
OF the board. If 1t Is decided to be advis-
able to lengthen the hours Of employment
for the employees in the District service an
order will be issued to that effect.
The impression seems to prevail at the
District building. that If an additional half
hours service Is to be required each day
of District clerks. 1t will be more desfr-
able to begin work at $50 o'clock in the
morning. rather than prolonging the clos
ing time until 4:30 In the afternoon.
While each of the Commissioners has
undoubtedly formed his own opinion fela-
tive to- what Is best to be done in the mat
the District yet all three members Of the
board state that they desire to consider the
matter thoroughly In all it's phases and act
uniformly on the question.

TO HONOR sM1rHsoN.
His Remains May Be Brought From
New York on the Dolphin.

AS the result of correspondence between
Secretary Moody and Mr.. c. G. Grosvenor
of the National Geographic Association, it
is probable that the remains of James
Smithson, founder of tie Smithsonian In
stitution, will be brought from New York
on the U. S. S. Dolphin to this city for final
fnterment.
suggestion to that effect was made by
Secretary Moody and met with the general
favor of those in charge of the transporta-
ton of the remains of Smithson from Ge-
noa to New York. They have suggested
that suitable honors be paid the steamer
Princess Irene. bearing the remains on
her arrival at New York city about the
10Th instant; that the vessel be met out
side the harbor by an American warship
and escorted into port.
Secretary Moody agreed to this plan, but
suggested that as the body was to be
brought to Washington it might be better
to transfer it to the warship at New York
and have 1t brought to Washington in that
way, adding that the Dolphin, now at
Washington, was available for that pur-
pose.

This morning Mr.. Bryan appeared before
the House committee On foreign relations
to advocate policy of having the United
States provide permanent homes for en-
bassies abroad.
On the Senate side Mr., Bryans presence
in the marble room brought out practically
all the democratic senators, who shook
hands with him cordially and had few
words of greeting to exchange. Senator
Lodge stopped and had a pleasant CONVEX
sation with the famous Nebraskan.
Mr.. Bryan was seen by Star reporter
and when it was suggested that his name
shad been used in favorable connection with
practically every candidate who has been
brought out for the democratic nomination,
he replied:
IF anybody quotes me In favor Of any

nearest approach I have made to naming
n candidate was yesterday when I said

democracy will not be questioned during
the campaign and whose fidelity and DEM

his candidate answers that description. 1t

lieth general assembly. Special attention
"as given to the recent capitol fire, and
he assembly was urged to take immediate
tops to repair the damage His recon-
nendations relative to insurance laws of
owa and special examinations bordered
an the sensational. The governor virtually
eelared that 116 insurance companies in
owa had been mulcted by former depart

more than $4,000. The assembly was
Urged TO reimburse these companies for

ions" The message is. in part. as follows:
Gen. Cummins' Message.
AN effort should be made to define what
contract for life insurance is. In these
lays life insurance takes on so many
phases. and the ingenuity of managers is
- great. that every kind OF indemnity and
Investment, fair and unfair. honest and
fraudulent, is offered to the people as life
insurance. A statutory definition can be
devised broad enough to embrace every
egitimate contract and facilitate the work
fraudulent or which belong to some other
ield OF enterprise
Tt is highly necessary for the protection
II the policy holders that the state should
determine the conditions under which one
'ompany should be absorbed by another.
IAN fees paid by insurance companies for
Examinations, or for any other service rem
Tered under the direction of the state,
should be paid into the state treasury, and
whatever compensation was allowed to
hose who performed the work should be
paid by the state. AS the law now Is, the
Insurance companies pay the examiners
whatever sums may be charged for services

There had been much discussion I'm Iowa,
