PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS.
House Members Will Probably Offer
Many This Week. IS

Washington, March 14.-An extend
ed period of personal explanation un-
doubtedly will occur during the con
sideration of the postofice %appropria-
ton bill, which will be called up Mon
day by Chairman Overstreet. Mon
day rightfully belongs to the District
of Columbia, but there are few local
matters on the calendar and MI. Bah
cock will abdicate in favor of the post
Office bill. Many members of the
house feel that the Congressional
Record should contain statements in
regard to their alleged misconduct
with the p%ostofice department, with
regard to salaries, rent and postofice
quarters, and this has led the house
to adopt the most liberal policy in gen.
eral debate on the postofice a%ppropria-
ton bill. When these statements are
out of the way the p%ostofice bill will
be disposed of and not before. When
the %postofice bill is out of the way
the bill for the support of the military
academy will follow.

ALL THREE FOUND GUILTY.
Chicago Car Barn Bandits Convicted
and the Penalty Fixed at Death.

and the Penalty Fixed at Death.
~ Chicago, March 14.-Hanging for all
was the verdict Of the jury in the MUIR
der case against the so-called "car
barn BANDITS" Harvey Vandine; Peter
Neidermeyer and Gustave Marx, who
attained notoriety by a desperate all
day battle that started in a dugout
ear Liverpool, Ind, where the trio
had taken refuge after a series of re-
markable crimes, including the muir
der of two employees of the Chicago
City railway at one of the cor oany's
barns in this city, the motive in each
instance being robbery.
Emil Roeski, who was with the ban
dts in the dugout and who partici-
pated in many of their crimes, is to
be tried separately, not having been
implicated directly in the particular
murder for which his associates were
first arraigned.

0UsTAvE MARX ADMITS RoBBING
A TRAIN NEAR DEkALe, ILL.
FOUR YEARS AGO.
KILLED A MAN in WISCONSIN
SHOT 4 TRACK WALKER WHILE
WAITING TO ROB A TRAIN
AT EVANSVILLE.

Chicago, March 14.-Gustax Marx,
one of the three car barn bandits now
under sentence Of death, declared in a
confession made Sunday that he was
one of the three men who held up the
Chicago and Northwestern express
train at Tower w, neal Dekalb, four
Xadts ago. The crime, which has
passed into history as n Of the most
desperate ever committed in or about
Chicago, has neve been fastened up
on any one of the many suspects ar
rested, and the identity Of the bandits
has remained a mystery to the police
until now. No
Marx says both his confederates in
the crime are dead and refuses to give
their names. One Of them, he de-
clares, "died with his boots on" The
railway authorities admitted a loss of
100000 by the robbery. Marx says
the robbers secured only $4,000, the
rest of the money having been destroy
ed by the explosion of dynamite used
to crack the safe.
In a sort of footnote to this startling
confession, Marx admits the killing of
five men in his career of crime.
Besides John B. Johnson, killed at
the a barns, Detective Quinn, killed
at the time of my arrest, and Otto
Bauder, whom Roeski is generally sup
posed to have killed, I have killed two
other
Eight years ago Niedermeyer and
I went to GAINESVILLE, Wis, to rob a
train and hid our dynamite alongside
the track. A track walker, or rail
way detective-I have never learned
which-came upon us and asked us
what we were doing there. I shot him
and we threw his body into the Rock
river. The other man whom l killed
I had done criminal work with in Mich
igan. l met him at Camp Goldfield,
Colo. when Niedermeyer and l were
there last fall. He knew too much
about me and / killed him and left his
body lying in the suburbs of the camp.
Both these crimes can be verified by
the police"

Rumored That Port Arthur Has Been
Evacuated.

Rumored That Port Arthur Has Been
Evacuated.
London, March 14.-The rumor of
the evacuation Of Port Arthur is re-
peated this morning from different
confirmation. ~
According to the st. Petersburg cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph,
vague rumors are current there that
later kilograms describe the lombard
ment Of Port Arthur as much more
serious than has been admitted off,
cially. Special dispatches from Toxic
and Yinkow also give reports of heavy
Russian casualties at Port Arthur
amounting to 40 men killed and 100
wounded. but they are SO conflicting
In details that it is not wise to give
them much credence.
In q dispatch from Toxic, dated
March 13, a correspondent Of the Daily
Telegraph says that in the latest at
tack on Port Arthur two Russian tor
pedo boat destroyers were sunk and
great damage was done to the docks,
forts and arsenals, including the ex-
plosion Of a powder magazine. Dalny
is reported to have been almost en-
tlISly uSSLTOyeu, SOVeTal guns Lu0T0
were dismounted and the crew of four
torpedo boats in the inside harbor are
said to have deserted.
The Daily Telegraph publishes a dis
patch from a correspondent at Yinkow,
who reports that the Russian battle
ship Retvizan at Port Arthur was hit
five times by Japanese projectiles and
that there were twenty casualties on
board.
This correspondent declares further
that the presence of Japanese at Feng-
huancheng, the Manchurian town about
forty-ive miles northwest Of Wiju, has
been confirmed.
The Yinkow correspondent of the
Daily Mail reports that serious dis.
putes occurred daily between the Rus
sian naval and military officers at Port
Arthur. the latter reproaching the
former with incompetency and COW
sardice.
The correspondent describes the
floating Of the battleship Retvizan and
says the dock at Pork Arthur is too
small to repair her. General Stoessel,
In command at Port Arthur, has been
ordered to the Yalu, the correspondent
concludes, and he will be replaced by
General Smirnoff.

CONFUSION IN MANcAuRlA.
Russians Seize all Food Supplies and
Other Necessities.

Russians Seize all Food Supplies and
Other Necessities.
J Peking, March 14.-Private Chinese
reports that are being received here
state that the whole of Manchuria is
in a state of utter confusion owing to
the Russians having seized all food
supplies and other commissariat necesr
stiles. AF
The natives are streaming south to-
ward the ports and are suffering great
hardships. The late military govern
or at Kirin has committed suici G ow-
ing to his inability to relieve the peo-
pies distress or stop the Russian
depredations.
The reports that have been ~circulat-
ed regarding a Russian force occupy
ing Kalgan are absolutely untrue,
moreover the Russian garrison at
Urga has been reduced to thirty men.

LIKE A CITY OF DEATH.
Port Arthur Deserted and Consigned
&c a Fiery Doom.

London, March 14.-In q dispatch
from Chefoo, dated March 10, a cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail describes
an inspection of Port Arthur made on
March II from a boat. The new city
seemed to be on fire, three columns of
smoke were ascending from it. The
Bread Hill fort appeared to have suf-
fered terribly, the defenses were shat
tered and the earthworks torn up.
No guns were visible. The line OF
forts on the Tigers Tail also appeared
to have suffered damage. At sunrise
no sign Of life could be seer any
where and Port Arthur looked like a
city of death.
The torpedo boat destroyers inside
did not appear to have steam up.
Special dispatches from Port Arthur
say there are rumors among the Chi
nese population that the projected
descent on the Liaotung peninsula is
imminent.
The Tientsin correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle reports that 10000
Japanese are nearing Newchwang.
