At the Senate end Of the Capitol It has beer
the general expectation that the session would
close about the end OF April the first OF May.
However, the rapidity with which the appropri

THENEW NAVAL WARFARE
Torpedo Service Most Important
Russia's Sea PO1cer Gone.

Special to The Ne--York Tribune by French Cahlo)

London. Feb. 1S.-There are fresh rumors Of
a renewal Of the assault upon the Russian fleet
at Port Arthur. but no authentic details are pro
vided and such dispatches as are printed from
special correspondents are belated several days.
The japanese admiral can complete the de-
struction Of the main fleet at his leisure BY
means Of a torredo fotiTa, and can concentrate
his forces against the Vladivostok squadron be
fore the Russian reserve feet can arrive Rus
sia's naval arm IS already amputated. and the
ships lost cannot be replaced during the war
nor naval supremacy be regained-
The naval experts assert that her fatal lack
Of readiness doomed Russia to defeat from the
moment OF the first surprise. but that is an I'M
perfect summary Of the situation. The condi-
tions OF naval warfare have been revolutiOnized
In the last ten days The torpedo arm has be-
come the most formidable branch OF the service.
and supremacy IN sea power depends upon It's
efficiency rather than the speed Of armored
or unarmOred cruisers. or the tonnage, armor
and concentrated gunfre Of battleships. Naval
defence is impracticable: initiative is every
thing. and n naval war is won or lost during
the hrst week Of a campaign
This is the frank confession OF the Admiralty
officials. whose construction programme will be
speedily altered and enormous development OF
the torpedo service viii be provided for without
delay. A remarkable proof OF the readiness Of
Japan has been the successful employment Of
the largest and u,Ost destructive torpedo
charges with which experiments are now con-
Quoted at the torpedo stations in the English
Channel
The land operations can only be vaguely con-
jected from the special dispatches OF the Lon
don press. but the correspondents agree that
the morale OF the japanese army IS perfect and
that the Russians are discouraged and the
transportation service completely broken down

FEDERATION
Executive Committee of Amer.
Can Confederation Ready
for Business

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. H.
Prior to going into session behind
closed doors today the members of the
executive committee of the American
Federation of Labor, assembled here
for their annual meeting, declined to
discuss what action If any will be taken
toward aiding the Chicago butcher
strikers. 1t is not regarded as likely
that the federation will extend the
strikers any material aid.
The meeting has Il number of other
important matters besides the Chicago
strike to consider, among them being
the strike of the weavers al Fall River,
and the prolonged strike of miners In
Colorado. The committee will also, il
is said, consider a formidable program
for securing labor legislation from the
next session of congress.

THE BIC CONG SOUNDED
FOR LAST Time RECENTLY
Sale of John 6. Heenan's Belt Which Was Pre-.
sented to Him Before Thousands Brought
Back Many Bitter Memories

number of Kings friends left the
ground under the impression that he
was beaten. However, afterwards Hee-
nan collapsed in a most remarkable
manner, but why has never been made
made known. He retached to great
extent, and was eventually defeated.
Subsequently he was put on trial with
King at Lewes for committing breach
of the peace.
1t is curious thing that at the time
of their deaths both Savers and Hee-
nan were 80 years old. The funeral of
the Englishman at Higngate cemetery
in November, 1865, was memorable for
the enormous crowd that turned out
to witness it. Immediately following
the hearse was dun pony covered by
a black pail with white edging, the only
occupant Of the trap being faithful
mastiff. A month after his death Say
ers effects were sold off. The belt that
had been presented to him at the same
| time as Heenan's was sold for 6 33 12s,
the dog for six guineas more, and the
silver cup given to him by Capt. Web
ster for his great fight on the banks
Of the Midway with Aaron Jones which
extended over eighty-five rounds and
lasted two hours, for E31 los.
Keenan, who died on October %, 1873
at Green River station, Wyo., married
the gifted and beautiful actress. Adah
Isaacs Menken. Shortly after the fight
this lady created a sensation by APP
pearing in the character of Mazeppa at
Astley's, the part of Adder Kahn being
taken by the late Sam Emery--the
father of Mrs Cyril Maude. Enor-
nous posters, showing the lady tied
to the back of the wild horse, attracted
the West End play-goers to the house,
the piece having a considerable run.
Her marriage with Heenan, who was a
very fine man, his height being six feet
one inch, was by no means happy, and
ended with a divorce. Menken was a
poetess as well, and Charles Dickens
held a high opinion of some Of her
writings. Only recently there was a
long controversy in a weekly paper as
to the resting place of this beautiful
| woman.
