CONGRESS TO ADJOURN APRIL q
Date Being Discussed BY Congress-.
men and Senators.

Washington. April 11.-April 2S has
been discussed in cimmittee 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 received from the house
and reported from the senate commit
tee with an amendment. Discussion of
service pension legislation it is believed
will be exhausted before the bill is
placed on its passage, and this measure,
therefore, is not considered barrier to
early adjournment.

Russians sustained no losses. Nom
commissioned Officers Louchkine and
SouhaschonoV distinguished them
selves in the fight.
On the following day the Japanese
sewered their flag at Win, and their
outposts, which lately have been seen,
fell back.
On the night of April 9 four Rus
SLAMS crossed the Yalu to Yenampo
Vongampho) and made towards a
Russian village, where they found
squadron OF Japanese cavalry. They
remained there IL hours. when they
were betrayed by Koreans, and found
themselves obliged to swim the river,
their boat having struck on a sand
bank. One soldier lost his life. The
japanese pursued the Russians In
pat, but were in turn attacked by
Russian boat, which had come to the
rescue OF the swimmers. The Japa-
neee were all killed and their boat
sunk.
One feature of the message which
s not pleasing to the authorities is
the action of the Koreans in revealing
to the Japanese the presence of the
Russians at Yongampho, and the be-
kef prevails that the Koreans are not
SO unfriendly to the Japanese as has
been announced. Incidents such as
that at Yongampho indicate that the
view held OF the Korean attitude is
mistaken one.

CONSERVATIVES IN IOWA.
State Board Of Control Receives the
Data and Makes Estimate,

Des Moines, Oct. 6.-Iowa has be-
tween 1000 and 5000 consumptiyes.
1t is safe to say the number approx
mates $500. These figures were esti-
mated by Judge l.. G. Kline. of the
state board of control yesterday, after
having received reports from 1,470
Iowa physicians
The last legislature directed the
board of control to compile data re-
garding the extent of tuberculosis in
the state. Blanks were prepared and
sent 10 every physician asking him to
report all cases treated by him, giving
name, age, nature of ailment, success
Of treatment, ETC. These blanks were
mailed three or four weeks ago. 5000
in all having been sent out, The re-
plies are coming in SO rapidly as to
warrant the assumption that much
more than so per cent will elicit re-
sponses. A similar experiment in Mary
land two years ago ELECTED responses
from but 80 per cent, which was con-
sidered good.
The number of cases indicated by
these reports is approximately what
had previously been estimated by the
state board of health and other medical
bodies. The agitation in favor of a
state hospital for consumpt:ves may
be renewed before the next legislature
and the data now being gathered will
be of great service.

Green. of Muscatine, officially declared
to be insane, has broken away from the

letters to friends and to newspapers
complaining of his treatment and in
sisting he is not crazy He enlisted
friends among the State university
alumni and they raised fund by pop
ular subscription to go into court and
get Green out. Green's relatives EN-,

self he was unfit to be at large.
Now he has quietly slipped away.

HoMEsrEADERs WIN CASE.
Secure Decisive Victory At Sioux City
for Possession OF Land,

Sioux City. Oct. O. Homesteaders
of land formerly in the government
grant to the Sioux City and st. Paul
railroad won decisive victory In the
federal court, when eleven cases were
disposed in their favor. The value of
the land involved is $125,00O. 1t is
taken to mean that the homesteaders
in scores of other suits pending
against purchasers from the railroad,
involving over $1,O0O,0O0 for the land
will win. The fight has been in
progress for years. The homestead
ers first got patents and purchasers
from the railroad sued for possession
in the state and federal courts. In the
case of Sands against Knepper, the
United States supreme court seld the
Sioux City and st. Paul railroad never
constructed its line as per agreement,
and therefore never earned the land,
and had no right to sell it. The lands
lie in O'Brien and Lyon counties. The
Omaha railroad now has the roadbed
of the defunct Sioux City and st. Paul
railroad.

LOREE PUSHED OUT
THE MooREs DEPosE PRESIDENT
OF THE ROCK ISLAND
ROAD.

Chicago, Oct. &C. E. McKim, gem
eral superintendent of transportation
of the Rock Island system, has ten
dered his resignation and the resigna-
tion was accepted. w. M. Hobbs, for
merly assistant general superintendent
of Transportation, was promoted to the
vacancy.
Lorcc Resigns.
With additional powers bestowed
upon President B. l.. Winchell of the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific rail
road company and Robert Mather as
chairman of the executive committee
of that road and president of the
Rock Island company, the holding, cor
poration, the Moore syndicate is max
ing an efforts to eliminate friction In
the management and preparing to
make q campaign for an increase in
traffic during the coming year. Under
the new arrangement President
Winchell becomes the supreme eXecu-
tive as we'll as the operating head
of the Rock Island system.
L. F. Loree's retirement from the
presidency Of the Rock Island company
the holding corporation of the Rock
Island system, and from the directory
and craftsmanship of the executive
committee of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific railroad has come
as a surprise, although it had been
known by those close to the Moores
that there was considerable friction
between Mr.. Loree and President Win
chell, head of the operating road.
Mr.. Loree's resignation was practi-
cally forced by the Moores, notwith-
standing the fact that less than a year
ago he was paid 100000 bonus to
leave the Baltimore & Ohio and come
to the Rock Island under five-year
contract at salary of $4,000 year.
This contract was one of the most lib.
eral ever given a railroad president
and the salary was the largest paid by
any system.
