Over 50,000 pounds of ink had been brought at an increased price when 1t previously had taken only 21, 500 pounds. The binding twine purchases also were commented on. MT. Metcalf, superintendent of the money order system was mentioned in connec- tion with the printing contract for money order blanks.
 Did not we have a right to expect some recommendation from the department from those disclosures for change in the methodist" asked MT. Cowherd 'Yet no recommendation came" This was his reason for demanding a Congressional in- vestigation of the department. As em- phasizing this necessity still further he called attention to the item of $1,OOOOOO in the bill for separating the mails in third and fourth class postoffices. This item last year. he said, was $1,30c,0OO, and it was in the disbursing of that apropria- tion that Bristow charged that Beavers had used 1t to advance his political stand ing and to give away to his personal and political friends"
 The expending for rent, fuel and light referred to by Bristow as being extrava- gantly used by Beavers was another mat ter cited. MT. Cowherd maintained that the estimates in these cases had not been reduced by the department.
 MT. Cowherd touching on the reasons why certain devices were adopted by the department, read an extract from a let ter of Miller, the Washington agent of the Time Clork Company, to Bradt of that company as follows:
 q am satisfied that we have the as- surance of and friendship of both parties General Heath and Mir. Beavers-and all that is necessary is to cultivate that friendship, if not by kind words, by dol lars and cents and I think that the latter will be the most positive. However, the lines, we have out now will result in a change of program which means our ultimate success"
 MT. Murdock CKas.) said the deficit that has grown up in the Postoffice De- partment was because Improvements in the service had been pushed ahead of the revenues. He said if there had been Theodore Roosevlt to cut a canal across the isthmua so Columbia could sail through and discover the United States on the western coast. the people of New England now would be asking for admission to Statehood.
 The committee rose and the resolution by MT. Martin (S. D.) directing the Secretary of Commerce and Labor to in- vestigate the causes for the differences which exist between the cost of live stock and dressed beef was passed without division or debate.

 "A half a mile or more to the north ward of Shaw's corner, on a road leading to East Andover, and on the charmed banks of Punch Brook, where the birds sing sweetly in May, Is the birthplace of Daniel Webster. Here Judge webster coming up from Kingston, located his farm in the wilderness. It was average land for tillage and pasture, and was quite valuable on account of It's fine tim ber but by years of neglect and waste the farm has become very ordinary. The log cabin was demolished before Daniels birth, but the spot where 1t stood Is still visible as we'll as the foundation of the grist mill which Captain Webster erected on Punch Brook.

 Captain Ebenexer Webster settled in Salisbury, N. H., building loghouse and grist mill. It was to this loghouse that inc great statesman referred in the cele- hrated passage in his Saratoga speech m the Harrison "logcabin" campaign of tsi0. On August 1e of that year, Mir. NVepster, who was at Saratoga in at- tendance upon a session of the Court of Appeals, was invited to address the peo- pie upon the issue of the campaign. It is well authenticated that the famous speech that followed had been prepared for a mass meeting to be held in Sails bury earlier in the campaign. The mass meeting did not come off, and the speech was delivered at Saratoga. It was in this address, by many considered his best effort on the stump, that he referred as follows to his father, his brothers and sisters. and his rude home in Salisbury:

sToEssEL's LAST REPORT.
Dispatch From the Commander of Be-
sieged Port Arthur


ST. PETERSBURG, June 6. The
Ministry of War has received a dis
patch from Lieutenant General Zelin-
sky, chief of staff, to General Kuropat-
kin, dated June 3, in which he summer
ICES a written account by General
Stoessel OF events preceding the battle
of Kinchou:
The situation May 81" says General
Zelinsky, appears TO have been that
the japanese army had arrived before
Mount Sampson, but had not begun
the attack on the town of Kinchou.
which was occupied by our troops.
THE enemy had occupied Kerr
Peninsula and had sent large lighters
to Khumeza Bay. These, however, had
been obliged to retire, owing 10 the fire
of our artillery. Our troops occupied
positions on the southern shore of
Khumeza Bay, at Talienwan. at Nan
kuenling station, at fDalny and on all
the bays. The enemy's squadron
blockaded the entire coast and fired
heavily, sometimes cupon one bay,
sometimes on another.
There was heavy bombardment of
Port Arthur on the night of May IS, in
which one soldier was killed and four
wounded. The Japanese attempted a
landing at Kerr Bay, but were Pepulsed
on May IA, losing one cruiser, which
sank.
Japanese columns began the ad-
vance southwark on May Is by two
routes, marching from Sanshilipu,
north of Kinchou, and Kotsiallnui.
Moving. as they did, in close order, they
suffered severely from our artillery fire.
The Kotsialinui column also came under
our infantry fire, which inflicted heavy
losses.
LAS the enemy's advance developed,
we perceived that they had six bat
teries of artillery and twenty-four
battalions. In view of the enemy's SUI
periority our detachments began to re-
tire. General Stoessel speaks in the
highest praise of the officers and men
participating.
"A force composed of Cossacks and
Chasseurs occupied the heights OF
Kinchou on the morning of May II, and
isolated bodies of the enemy began to
appear on the mountains. On May Is
two companies of Japanese infantry at
tackled 100 Of our Cossacks on the west
ern slope of Mount Sampson, but were
repulsed.
"Our intelligence showed that the
whole Japanese army north Of Sanshil-
fpu was composed of $4,000 infantry and
1900 cavalry.
.'Our losses between May and Il
were ten officers and 175 men,"

SEOUL, Korea, June 6.--I to-day in
terviewed an American who left Feng-
wangcheng on May 81. He says that
it will be impossible for the First Japa-
nese army. whose headquarters are
there, to make any further advance
toward Liaeyang, until considerable re-
Inducements arrive, as both horses
and men are much fatigued.
The Guards and the Second division
the Twelfth division occupies strong
position six miles northeast. The en-
tire army is apparently disposed with
a view to considerable waiting before
attacking by any further advance.
Russian scouting parties are appear
ing on all sides. A small tramway is
to be utilized for the transportation of
supplies from Antung to Fengwang-
cheng and thirty-two miles of line are
nearly completed. The transports may
use Antung as their principal base.
On May 25 a Russian officer with
seven men broke through the line of
communication near Antung, evidently
with the intention of making a COM
plete reconnaissance around Feng-
wangcheng. The Japanese are alarm
ed at the comparative ease with which
this was accomplished.
From Gensan it is reported that the
main body of Russians on the eastern
coast of Korea has turned westward,
probably with the object of moving on
Pingyang.
