CHWANG SURMISED.
Place Said to Be in Perfect State Of
Defense-Attainable Only After
Long Siege.

TOKYO April 12.-S p.m.-It is believed
here that fighting has commenced on the
Yalu river 1t Is known that the Russians
occupy the right bank of the river in force.
No direct information from the Yalu dis
trict has been received here, but the posi-

1t is doubted that they will be able to pre-
vent the Japanese from crossing the river.
1t is regarded as certain that they will
offer some opposition. 1t Is not believed,
however, that there will be a serious en-
gagement during the japanese attempt to
cross the Yalu.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Immediately after the House met today
Mr. Morgan Ohio explained his vote on
the Cochran resolution last Saturday
which formed the subject of comment by
Mr.. Williams yesterday. He voted for
tabling the resolution. he said, because
he was not aware that he had been paired
with his colleague Mr.. Shook, and he de-
sired the record corrected accordingly.
The House conferees on the Indiln ap-
preparation bill were severely criticised by
Mr.. Robinson Qnd) and he made 81 pom.
or order against the printing of con-
ference report in the Record, because he
charged the first report of the conferees
already had been printed. but that with
out authority of the House and without
Its having had an opportunity to act on
the report, the conferees had held another
conference. These conferees. he asserted,
had violated the confidence of the House
In an elaborate opinion the Speaker over
ruled the point of order.
Mr.. Dalzell CPa-), from the committee on
rules, reported a resolution declaring 1t to
be in order Immediately after its adoption
to take UP and consider a bill to ratify and
confirm an act of the Hawaiian legislature
granting an electric light franchise on the
Island of Oahu.
The resolution was agreed to after brief
discussion and the bill was taken up and
passed.
A similar bill was passed ratifying the act
of the Hawaiian legislature granting a gas
franchise in Honolulu.
The Alaskan delegate bill was then taken
up for further consideration.
The Booker Washington Incident.
Mr.. Scott (Kan) devoted himself to re-
ply to Mr.. Gilbert Q<y), whom he said had
animadverted severely on President Roose-
welt regarding the so-called Booker Wash
ington incident at the White House. He
referred to the recent letter of ex-President
denying emphatically that he had extended
courtesies to c. H ]. Taylor, Kansas ne
gro politician. as Mr.. Scott had charged in
the House.
Mr.. Scott read several extracts from
letters he had received from persons in
Kansas and elsewhere, which, he said,
would make 1t clear that the statement
made by him was not fabrication.
These letters, he said, contained state
ments that it was the common boast of
Taylor in Kansas that he had lunched or
dined with Mr.. Cleveland, and that Tay-
ior made no secret of the intimate per-
sonal relations existing between them. He
did not, he said, cite the letters to i'm
peach Mr.. Cleveland and gave Mr.. Cleve
truth, but he hoped that what he had pre-
sented would convince the House that he
also told the truth when he previously said
the allegation was based on widespread
rum0r.
Mr.. Bartholdt (Mo) spoke of the fact
with a formal invitation to dinner at his
family table. The only reason that fact
Is not generally known. he said. was be-
cause nobody thought anything Of II, and
no one saw flt to criticise Mr.. Jefferson

A FOUR YEARS TERN.

One point made by Hon. John Tenn
pie Graves in his letter declining to be-
come a candidate for the nomination
for Governor is that the Governors
term ought to be four years, instead Of
two. 1t seems to us the point is a
good one for the reason that he is
given four years anyway, and what is
the use of going to the trouble and ex-
pense of two elections when one would
suffice?
1t may be said of course that il the
Governor proves unsatisfactory he can
be got rid of in two years, whereas
if the term were four years he would
have TO be endured for that length of
time. The answer to that is that there
is hardly q probability of a Governor
making himself so unpopular that he
couldn't get a second term as long as
present political conditions exist in
this state. Therefore whoever is elect
ed Governor is about certain to fill
the Office for four years. Why, then,
not elect for four years at once and
be done with it? The chance that a
Governor will not be given a second
term is so remote that it is hardly
worth considering in connection with
the question whether or not the term
ought not to be four years. Besides,
Governor, as a rule, has further po-
ntical aspirat tons, and will endeavor to
retain his popularity.
In considering the question of maxi
ing the gubernatorial term four years
the people ought to make up their
minds whether or not they want an
nual sessions of the Legislature. We
are now having too many elections
and too much legislation. OF course
the people ought to keep themselves
informed i'm respect to state and ma
tional questions, but in. order for them
to do that it isn't necessary to have
elections so frequently.
OF course we wouldn't have the cleo
lions put so far apart that the people
would lose their interest in the ballot
box. There Is happy medium. and Il
seems to US in arranging the term Of
the Governor and the sessions OF the
Legislature the people OF this state
ought to- seek that medium.

-Elihu Root served as Secretary of
War at great peeuniary sacrifice. His
salary as a government official was a
mere drop in the bucket compared to
what his income as7 a corporation law
yer would have been. AS soon as ii was
announced about two months ago that
Mr.. Root would leave the War Depart
ment on Feb. l letters began to pour
in on him asking for his legal services.
Retaining fees were forced on him be-
fore he even had a chance to talk with
persons who sought to engage him.
This thing kept up to the day he left
the War Department. He was Obliged
to turn down many of the offers he re-
ceived, and it is safe to say that he
could have taken on enough work that
came unsolicited to keep him busy for
the next two or three years.

two miles from there, and 1 should
advise you to take a cab"
rs it So far as that?" inquired the
woman. Then I'll have to walk" and
she sighed heavily as she drew her
shawl more tightly over her Shout
ders.
The senator's heart was touched.
Let me assist you, madam" he said.
Here are two dollars"
God bless you. SIR" said the woman
fervently.
Two nights later the senator again
was stopped near the hotel by the
same woman.
Please, sir, can you tell me the way
to Harlem?" she asked.
Good Lord, woman, haven't you got
