PRESIDENTS YACHT
Moody Denies That Mayhow-
 or Is For Private Use.
VESSELS HISTORY GIVEN AT LENGTH
Was In Reply to Criticism on ROOse- veIt's Use of Naval Ship Filed by Congressman Williams
 of Miseissippf.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Replying to criticism of the use of the naval steam yacht Maytiower, filed in the house for reproduction in the Con- gressional Record by Representative @ Williams (Miss) in the form of a newspaper clipping, Representative Foss, chairman of the naval affairs committee, has filed, also to be print ed in the Record, a letter from Sec retary Moody giving detailed history of the use of the Maydower by the president. 4:
 He says the Mayfower is not as was stated in the criticism, denominated ''the presidents yacht" Continuing, the secretary says: .-.-
 "She receives her orders from the department in the same manner as other vessels. In accordance with a custom of long standing, however, a vessel of the navy has been placed at the disposition of the president from time to time, as he may desire. The Mayiower has been the vessel select ed for this service under directions from the president that at no time should she be diverted from any naval duties for which she might be needed. It would be an injustice to the officers and men of the Mayf1ower to suppose that her sole or principal use was that of a yacht"
 The secretary details the use of the Mayfiower during the Spanish war at length. He then adds:
 "An expenditures of every nature occasioned by the visit of the presi- dent or any of his family or guests have been paid by him. The Mayfiow- or has never been held for the pres ident's use,' nor at any time has any money been expended on 'refurnishing the ship as the presidents private yacht nor for 'reftt1ng and repairing for the presidents personal use,' nor for keeping the Mayfiower at the dis position of the president since she last went into commission.
 "I have the honor to say in closing that, according to the best of my knowledge and belief, the Mayfiower has not been diverted an hour from any naval duty for which she was needed nor has a dollar of the public money been expended for the pleas ure or convenience of the president or any of his family or guests"

RUSSIANS DEFEATED
Japanese Said to Have Gained
 a Victory on the Yalu.
FORT ARTHUR SHUT UP TOMORROW
twenty-five FirCships Prepared For Sinking In Channel of Russian StrOn@hOld-Peasan Give
 All to the CE@P.


 Sinking In Channel of Russian rOnGhOId-PeasantS Give All to the Czar. LONDON, April 9.-A Paris dispatch says that a report has reached the French capital of a fresh defeat sus- tained by the Russians in the vicinity of the Yalu river. Their loss is said to have been heavy.
 Information received from Port Ar thur asserts that the Japanese have planned a supreme attempt for the in- vestment of Port Arthur on Sunday next, which is the Orthodox Greek Easter. Twenty five fire ships have been prepared for sinking in the chan nel, while the whole Japanese fleet in the vicinity will Lombard the forts. The Japanese are convinced that they will succeed through sheer num- bers. Some of the fire ships, they be- lieve, are sure to, reach critical spots, and if nothing else is secured the har- Dor will at least be completely bottled. The peasants of the small village of Yamakaya, in the department of Vero- noSh, have asked for authority to sub-
 
 penses. This subscription is equiva- lent to the entire possessions of the community. The czar, replying to their offer, said:
 "I thank you for your gift, which I cannot, however, accept, as the present , conditions do not i'll the least warrant such sacrifices as this, which would shake to the foundati the welfare of my people,"
 A Paris report says Vice Admiral Makaroff, with his fleet, has gone out from Port Arthur to attack Japa- nese squadron that has been signaled in the ofing.
 It is rumored that a fight took place, but nothing is officially known.
 Pesttlence is feared at Harbin, the center of the Russian military opera tions in Manchuria, because of bad sanitary conditions.

tiDns with Everett over the long dis

MANY HAVE ALREADY APPLIED
Those Who DID not Finish Last Term
are Also Required to Register.
indications are Schools viii

course, are not required to register,
but all new pupils, as well as those
who did not finish cut the trem last
year, will have to be registered and
set their admission cards before they

stated to News reporter last night
tdat already number Of new pupils
rad made application for seats this
torn, although he had not given any
notice that he was ready to receive
the applications. The books will be
