ST. PETERSBURG GIVEN
 UP TO EASTER REJOICING.

St. Petersburg, April 10-This city to- day was en fete and was given up to Eas- ter rejoicing. The long Russian feasts. which began after midnight and contin- ued almost to daylight, were scarcely ended before the round of Easter visits commenced
 1t is the duty of every Russian at Eas- ter to call on all his friends, and to eat end drink with them. Open house was kept everywhere, and latch strings were out for all Theoretically, the beggar ot the streets enters at will the dining room of the noble and helps himself to the good things of the table. This, however, is no longer the case in the metropolis, and the larger towns of the empire have done away with the custom but still lit- erally true in the villages and rural com munities, where no one is refused admit tance So onerous have official and pri- yate Easter visits become that the Red Cross society this year evolved an inge nious means of relief ana benefit to It's treasury by which a subscription of $5o secures the publication of the donor s rame n the Official Messenger, carrying with 1t immunity from official calls. Many eagerly took advantage of the scheme.
 The masses spent the day in merry making. The sun shone brightly and the sidewalks were thronged with promenad- CTS. The quay along the Neva was crowd ed with sight-seers watching the ice, which is beginning to move out into the Gulf of Finland.

ADJOURNMENT IS
 EXPECTED AP'L 2S
PENSION BILL HAS BEEN RECElV- ED FROM THE HOUSE AND RE- PORTED BACK WITH A SENATE AMENDMENT.

Washington, April 1o.-April 2S has been discussed in committee rooms and among senators and representatives as not at all an improbable date for the termination of the present session of congress. The pension appropriation bill has been re- ceived from the house and reported from the senate committee with an amend ment. Discussion of service pension leg islation 1t Is believed will be exhausted before the bill is placed on it's passage a .t; this measure therefore 1t not consid- cred a barrier to early adjournment. The army appropriation is agreed upon ex- cept as to four amendments winch are in conference and it Is thought these amendments will not result in much fur ther discussion in either body of con- gress. The conference report on the ag- ricultural bill has been agreed to the sen- ate but no action has been taken by the house.
 A second conference has been ordered for on the Notifications bill to the sem ate amendments for the purpose of a submarine boat for instruction in coast defense and making an appropriation for the completion for a certain type Of dis appearing guncarriage. Both the naval and the district appropriation bills are in conference. The conference report on the Indian appropriation bill has been made. and 1t is likely to cause debate for one or two days. Four days additional dis cussion is looked for on the postoffice ap- propriation bill. The amendments adopt ed are not of character that will tie the bill up in conference for more than two or three days.
 It is expected that the sundry civil bill will be reported from the senate com mittee on appropriation on Tuesday and the military academy bill will be ready by the time the sundry bill is passed. It is expected that the general deficiency bill will be reported to the house not later than Tuesday. No call has yet been is- sued, but republican leaders of the sen ate anticipate holding meeting Of the steering committee early next week to agree on a general programme for the re- maining days of the session.

AUSTRIA AND ITALY
 CAME NEAR FIGHTING
AGITATION so STRAINED RELA- TON, SAYS VIENNA WRITER, THAT TWO COUNTRIES WERE ON VERGE OF WAR.

Rome April 1o.-Signor Tittoni, the Italian foreign minister. in an interview today said that he and Count Golucho- wsld. the Austrian foreign minister, were entirely satisfied with their meeting at Abazzio yesterday. the result of which, he said, he would communicate to par liament. The following, telegraphed from Vienna to the newspaper Indepen- dente, causes a sensation:
 "The resurrection of agitation in Italy, in which the agitators asserted the Ital- ian provinces still under Austria were on the point of revolt, so strained were the relations between the two countries, they were several times on the point of declaring war. Austria was indignant when Italy protested to the emperor of Germany, who according to the triple alliance, is the arbiter of Austro-I Italian disputes. The emperor decided that Italy was wrong in not repressing the anti Austrian movement, and that Austria would be wrong If she tried to occupy Albania and thus conflict with Italian interests. There being no appeal from lilS ueClSloI, Italy anu AuSlfld utClutu to complete the accord obtained through the meeting at Naples of Emperor Will liam and King Victor Emmanuel, in whose toasts, contrary to other similar manifestations, Emperor Francis Joseph was cordially alluded to. Besides this meeting at Abazzio, which occurred in one of the Italian provinces subject to Austria, is to be understood as Halys formal renunciation of those provinces.
 Bad Hungarian feeling in which there is a risk of checking the work of diplomacy, has been aroused by an in- cident which occurred while the meeting between the ministers at Abazzio was taking place. The Italian steamer Mol fetta, on arriving at Cattaro "a fortified seaport in the Austrian province of Dal- matia,' was approached by Austrian gendarmes who said they wished to in- spect the vessel. The captain of the steamer refused to allow the gendarmes to come aboard If they carried arms, and the soldiers threatened to attack the ship. The captain displayed the Italian flag over the gangway when the gendar- mes were ordered to fire. Before order could be carried into effect, the captain yielded in order to avoid boodshed. The Italian government will bring the mat ter to the attention of the Austrian gov ernment and will ask for an explana- ton,

GREAT CAUTION NECESSARY.
Progress Made in Irrigation Work by
 the Government.

Washington April 10.-The progress made in the irrigation work of the gov ernment is reviewed in a publication is- sued by the geological survey which points out the necessity of great caution and conservatism in the extension of re- clamation work. It says that of the irri- gation projects favorably reported in 1903 which included those on the Truckee riv- CT In Nevada, on the Salt river in Ari- zona, on Milk river in Montana, on Sweet Water river in Wyoming, and on Gunni- son river in Colorado the Nevada and Arizona projects have been found favora- ble and construction on the engineering works along the Truckett and Salt rivers has progressed to reasonable extent.
 The Mor project however. has pre- sented unt cd engineering difficulties as well as ,licatons regarding water rights so progress is slow It has been foun essary to modify the first plans in to achieve early results. The Wyon. E project. as first outlined. has been found impracticable. A better reservoir site than that on the Sweet Water river, however, has been discov- cred on the North Platte, so that a large scheme of development may be worked out In the future. Very great engineer ing difficulties are encountered with the Colorado project The amount or arid land thereby reclaimabe is less, too than was anticipated.

RoJESTvENSkY TAKES
 CHARGE OF BALTIC SQUADRON.

Paris, April 1.-The St. Petersburg cor respondent of the Petit Parisienne cables an interview which he had with Rear Ad- miral Rojestvensky, chief of the general staff of the navy, in the course of which the admiral admitted that he had been offered and had accepted the command of the Baltic squadron. adding that he was not certain whether the squadron would go to the far east.
 The emperor the admiral said, desires the squadron to sail by July 15 next, but this is considered too nasty a movement in official circles, where it is affirmed that on the departure of the squadron, q certain complication might arise in Flu rope.
 Moreover. there will not be work for the seamen in the far east in September, TOT bv then" said the admiral, the Japa- nese will have conveyed to Korea sum cient cannon, ammunition and provisions to enable them to carry on campaign for many months. The Japanese will not hesitate to spend enormous sums for ap- parently inadequate results, and this rroyes that they can renew their supplies and ammunition. and that they have safe friends who will furnish all they need
 Questioned concerning the Japanese tao tics, the admiral said:
 .syice Admiral Toga Is quite right to remain faithful to his plan. although ap r. pearances are against him. We know from A sure source that he is certain he can repair his vessels and renew his supplies even of heavy artillery"
 Admiral Rojestvensky expressed regret that Russia did not take the initiative in ottac cling even In sacrificing Ter fleet and thereby crippling the Japanese army.

TRIBUTES PAID TO
 DEAD STATESMEN
TOUCHING EULoGIES ON THE DEEDS OF THE ATE REPRESEN- TATIvEs FoERDERER AND sURk OF PENNSYLVANIA.

Washington, April 10.-Pursuant to a special order the house of representa- tives today conducted memorial services in memory of the late Representative Foerderer and Representative Burke of Pennsylvania. In addition to members of the families of the deceased, large number of Pennsylvanians occupied seats in the galleries
 Each of the long list of speakers paid touching tributes to the two departed members, some venturing into the realm of politics to demonstrate that Messrs. Foerderer and Burke had built up vast ,busness and acquired great wealth through the protective tariff system. MT. Adams of Pennsylvania said that pre- vious to the election of MT. Burke, his district, which was the old Samuel J. Randall district, for ages had been mis- represented in congress, and had been d blot on the city of Philadelphia, because 1t did not represent the sentiment or the people, nor the doctrine on which It's vast manufacturer were dependent for success. He declared, however, that the district had been redeemed by MT. Burke from democratic control forever. Those who spoke of the life and character of Mir. Burke were Messrs. Adams, McCre- ary, Patterson, Dalzell and Morrell of Pennsylvania; Scott and Calderhead of Kansas; Tierrell and Powers of Massa- chusetts. and of MT. Foerderer, Messrs. Moon, Wagner, Bates,s Sibley and Nor Till of Pennsylvania; Burgess of Texas, Fordney of Michigan, Hemenway of h. dina.
 Resolutions of sympathy and respect were adopted. following which the house adjourned until tomorrow.

Army and Navy Journal Ois-
 cusses Captain COW|es
COMMANDED TIE MISSOURI
His Exhonoration by Court of Enquiry is Alleged to Have Been Favor itism-CoIIision Could Have
 Been Averted.

Washington, April 10.-(Special.) )-This weeks Army and Navy Journal continues the discussion of the case of Capt. w. S. Cowles, President Roosevelts brother in-law, whose exoneration by court of inquiry is alleged to have been to fa- voritism. Captain Cowles was in com mand of the Missouri when that vessel was in collision with the Illinois. The regular proceeding would be court mar tial.
 The Army and Navy journal in discuss ing the matter says: No proceedings may be a worse blow to the reputation of an officer than proceedings which, however trying in themselves, serve to bring all the facts to light for the bene- fit of the accused if the circumstances justify such a course. and in any case for the instruction of the navy. It is not true that courts martial are organ ized to convict and circumstances may arise In which they offer the only cer- tain means of clearing the reputation of an officer and showing where necessary, that he has not escaped through favorit- ism.''
 Continuing the paper denotes consider able space to show that the collision could have been averted entirely if Captain Cowles had steered his ship by propellers. Several cases in which big twin screw ships have crossed the Atlantic steering along with their propellors are cited.
 Probably the most important feature of the army bill which will shortly become law is the promotion of Brigadier Gen eral Ainsworth to the rank of major gen eral and the creation of the office known as military secretary, thus virtually abolishing the adjutant generals office though the title will continue to be held by Gen. H. H. c. Corbin in command of the department of the east.

Japs Were Evidently Warned of
 Russian Precaudon
PORT ARTHUR STILL SAFE
kuropatkin's Plans Given Out by an Expert Who Says the Land and Sea Campaign Will Con-
 verge Next Summer.

st. Petersburg, April 10.-The generally anticipated attack on Port Arthur did not occur last night, although a telegram received from Grand Duke Cyril reports that the enemy's ships were sighted on the horizon. It is presumed that the Jap anese were warned of the extra precau- tions which had been taken to guard against surprise.
 There was no Easter merry making at the front. By special dispensation the soldiers and sailors there were relieved of all religious observances on account of the necessities of the military situation.
 Vice-Admiral Makaroffs torpedo fo- tilla patrolled the open sea- while the war ships with full steam up remained out- side Port Arthur.
 Elsewhere throughout the theatre of war all is reported quiet.
 A high military authority in conversa ton with the Associated Press correspon- dent explained why General Kuropatkin s plan of campaign does not contemplate a heavy resistance to the Japanese advance at the Yalu, saying:
 Either Would be Unfortunate.
 E4ilHtT ueledl UT NiCtoiy III pdlliS there would be disadvantageous to us. If we lost we would have to fall back through difficult country. If we won and I say to you that Russian stategy is based on the idea of victory and not on that of defeat-success would be frutless We could not follow 1t up without expos ing the army to too great risks. On ac- count of the Japanese control of the sea, if we pursued the enemy into the penin- sula of Korea, we would open both Hanks to a possible attack from the rear No; the Japanese must come to point in the interior, which, with this emu In view. has been selected where we can follow up crushing defeat to the bitter end with blow after blow. and seal the fate of the campaign.
 Our plans of campaign on sea and land will converge at a time next summer, when Vice-Admiral Makaroffs fleet will be relieved by the arrival of reinforce ments. Then, if successful on land. We can clear the sea of the enemy, cut his communications and the Japanese in ko- req and Manchuria will then be at our mercy.

 It is understood that as result of General Kuropatkin's visit to New Chwang, endorsements of 100000 men will be sent forward from Laio Yang
