Des Moines, Iowa, March 5.-The
effort of the remnants of the "old
machine" In Iowa to count the Hull
victory in Polk county Cummins
defeat will come to a head at the coun-
ty convention this afternoon. Gov
ernor Cummins has heretofore been
accorded the courtesy of naming the
forty-one delegates from Polk county
to the state convention. It is the In
tention. to deprive him of that cour-
tesy this time if possible.
The convention will have 1877 Hull
delegates and 81 Prouty delegates. If,
as suggested by the "standpat" news
papers, Hull man is. necessarily an
anti-Cummins man, the governor bids
fair to meet with defeat.
It is practically decided that the
convention will indorse the admins
tration Of the governor without MAX
ing special reference to his tariff ideas.
Captain Hull, in an authorized inter-
view, states that he has no fight to
make upon the governor if the gov
ernor will stay out of seventh district
politics.
The convention to-day will undoubt-
edly indorse Cummins, Allison, Doll1-
yer and Joe Blythe as delegates at
large to the republican national con-
vention. This will be a ''standpat
victory and will be a setback to the
aspirations Of Senator Funk of Spirit
Lake.

Washington, March 5.-Perry Heath

postoffice: officials can get a bill now
pending in the house made into a law,
they will promptly try to indict the
former first assistant postmaster gen
eral and secretary Of the republican
national committee for his alleged
participation in the post office frauds.
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Jenkins of Wisconsin,, chair
man of the judiciary committee. It
provides that the limitations In crimi-
nal cases as set forth in the revised
statutes, in Section 1914, shall not ap-
ply to prosecutions which may be in
stituted against officials, agents or en-
ployees Of the United States.
The Judiciary committee, in making
it's report, says:
There appears to be no good rea-
son why the new legislation should
not apply to offenses already COM
mitted, where no indictments have
been found"
Heath left the postoffice department

law, If passed, will go back five years,

RUSSIANS FACE FAMINE
News of Army in Manchuria Shows

New York Sun Special Service.
Shanghai, March 5.-The first au-
thentic news Of the Russian army in
Manchuria came yesterday, and with
it the report of the tremendous diff
:culties which General Linevitch IS at
tempting to overcome In transporting
his army from Liau-yang to the Yalu
river.
After hosti1ities had begun and
troops were moved down from Muk-
den to protect the Manchurian side Of
the Yalu, all surplus foodstuffs were
seized by the Russian military author
tiles in Kaiping, Dalny, Hal Cheng and
Thet Ling.
The cavalry regiments were moved

whatever was necessary in the Chi
nese towns of Stu Yen, Funghwang
and Kuan Tien. The commissariat
department could not keep up with
the increased service caused by the
additional regiments coming down
from Mukden and Hardin.

BARRY PLACED ON
WITNESS STAND.
Expert Accountant Is Called to
the Capital by a Sub
poena.
Examined Under Oath on His
Work in the State Audi
tors Office.
Public Examiner Saws It Was
Public Examiner Says It Was
Only Way to Get the Work
Finished.

John Barry, the expert accountant
employed by Public Examiner john
son to check over the books of the
state auditor, was summoned back to
the state capitol to-day by sub
pOena. He was summoned at the in
stance Of the public examiner, who
had been waiting two months for the
expert to return and finish his work,
and finally resorted to his judicial
power to compel the unwilling ac-
countant's attendance.
On Mr.. Barry's arrival he was
placed under oath and examined by
Franklin H. Griggs, attorney for Mr..
johnson. He was asked many ques-
tons about the work he had done on
the books and records Of the state
auditors office. While at the work he
made many statements as to what he
had discovered, and turned over VOL
luminous written memoranda to Mr..
Johnson. The examination is for the
purpose of putting this material in
shape for a report to be made to tha
governor, as the law requires.
In explaining the proceeding Mr..
Johnson said this morning:
Mr.. Johnson's Explanation.
II have not seen Mr.. Barry since
Jan. 7 and he promised me then he
would be down on thte 18th and finish
up his work. have expected him
every day since. He did not put in an
appearance, altho his friends frequent
ly promised he would be here.
"As it was necessary to get this
work done and the report made, this
department issued its subpoena yester-
day. 1t was served by the sheriff
last night and Mr.. Barry is here this
morning. These things explain them
selves and there is nothing further to
say at this time" 49,
Barry Does Not Enjoy 1t.
Mr.. Barry's attitude is that of an
unwilling witness. Since quitting the
| work he has made some contradictory
| statements, and does not appear to
enjoy the position in which he is
placed. On Jan. 2 he wrote a letter
| to r. G. Dunn, the former state audi.
tor, saying that he had found nothing
to reflect on that gentleman's integri.
ty. (This letter was published as E
testimonial in Mr.. Dunn's campaign
book. Later, on Feb. 16, he wrote
another letter, explaining that he haG
not finished the examination and tha
his opinion was therefore not final
He has promised repeatedly Ito return
and finish the examination but failed
/ each time.

STORY OF FIRST BATTLE
Russian Officer Describes Attack or
Port Arthur by Japs.


Port Arthur by Japs.
ST. Petersburg, March 5.-A letter
from an officer of the Russian cruiser
Pallada has been received here de-
scribing the first attack by the Jap
anese upon Fort Arthur.
The writer denies the story, that
the officers 1.-THE Russian fleet were
ashore. and confirms the statement
that the Japanese made use Of false
lights.
He asserts that at II O'Clock at
night, a practice drill to erepel a tor
pedo attack was executed, and that
do boats headed back toward Dalny,
from which place they had come.
The crews of the fleet had retired,
only the watch remaining on deck.
The ships were in the outer harbor
and the captain Of the Pallada, which
vessel occupied the advance position.
had descended from the bridge for q
last look around before going below.
when he perceived lights advancing.
The lights shown were white above
red-being those Of the Russian war
ships when they enter the harbor.
The captain of the Pallada supposed
the approaching vessels were the RUS
sian torpedo boats returning from
Dalny, and his suspicious were only
aroused when, upon drawing nearer.
they covered and uncovered their
lights at irregular intervals. The sig
nal tower signaled that the lights were
not understood.
At this moment the Pallada's cap
tain made out the outlines Of the tor
pedo-boat destroyers srnokestacks in
pairs, amidships. AS the stacks OF
| the Russian destroyers are in line fore
and aft, the crews of the Russian
ships were instantly called to quar-
| tiers.
In less than three minutes the Pal
1ada's men were at their posts. orders
were given that the guns be charged
| with grape and a. fierce fire was
opened on the oncoming Japanese.
! The battleships Czaravitcll- and
Retvizan, which were in the first line.
a short distance astern OF the Pallada,
also opened fire almost Immediately. i
/ A terrible explosion under the hull
/ ter, which submerged the cruisers
deck and made a breach amidships
below the water line.
Soon afterwards two other torpedos
exploded almost simultaneously. one
under the bow of the Retvizan and
| the other under the stern of the
/ Czarevitch. This double explosion end
! ed the attack, the Japanese vessels re-
| firing at full speed.

Bureau, Colorado Building,

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, March 5.-The pension
bureau informed the Journal corre-
spondent. to-day that DR.. Ames' pen
sion application has been allowed. He
will receive a certificate within the
next two weeks. The exact amount of
the pension was not remembered by
the official with whom talked, and
as the papers had passed out Of his
hands, he had no, way Immediately
Of ascertaining.
He thinks, however, the amount is
SO a month. The maximum under
the law covering Ames' application is
$12 a month for total disability.
Ames does not allege total disa-
bility, so he will get less than the
maximum. The back pay will amount
to about 800, from the time when
the application was filed.

IL . . ri H.a , .
Seoul, March 5.-Japan is ready to
start construction Of the Seoul-Wi-ju
railway at once. Fifteen miles Of grad
ing already had been done by the Ko-
rean government under French engi-
neers, but no rails, locomotives or cars
have been purchased yet. q
The proposed arrangement may
possibly create an issue between the
Korean and French governments, as
a concession was originally granted in
1896 to French citizens, who, failing
to arrange the financing of the. road,
allowed the concession to lapse in
1899. Under the agreement the rail-
way was to be built only by the Ko-
rean government under the French
engineers, with French materials.
A steamer has arrived at Chemul-
pho with thousands Of tons of mate
rails and construction will now be
rapidly pushed by the japanese.

without obeying it. Whether We should
obey the law Of the land or continue to
practice the law of the church was
serious question.
I'VE hold that the president of the
church is entitled to receive revela-
lions inspired by the Almighty God.
President Woodruff sought guidance
from the Lord and the Lord made 1t
manifest to him that It was his duty
to stop plural marriages.
"FIe proclaimed that revelation and
it was submitted to the entire church
and accepted by the entire church and
thus became binding and from that
day to this the law of the land has
been kept so far as plural marriages
are concerned"
But there is great difference be-
tween taking a plural wife contrary to
law and in taking care of the wives
taken before 1t was a violation of the

will run my risks before the laws"
President Smiths voice shook with
emotion. He showed more feeling
than he had at any previous time ex-
bited as he leaned forward and said:
'But it Is to the laws of Titan that /
am answerable, it is the laws of my
state that has the right to punish me.

Chairman Burrows at this point
questioned the witness. He asked:
you say you would not abandon
your wives or your children. Why
do you consider it necessary to have
issue from your plural wives in or.
der to clothe and care for your chill
dren that had been born before un.

Because my wives are like othel

For, do the best she might.
He'd speak the very tryin' words
That robbed her of delight.
She knew her cookin' was correct
And yet her heart would break,
TO think that Still he sighed to have
A piece of mothers cake.
What could she do? At last she sent
And had his mother come
And bake a cake-'twas fearful stuff
But she, ah! che kept mum"
He ate a piece-and died!

Down where the grasses gently wave
The quiet mounds among,

OF him who died so young.

And solemn warning take
