LATEST WAR NEWS IS MOSTLY
ONLY RUffOR AND CONJECTURE

London, April 25.--The far eastern
dispatches this morning are chiefly
on reports and speculations concerning
Japanese landings and the plan of
campaign. The Daily Telegraph's To-
kio correspondent says the present de-
lay is more apparent than real, both
as regards field and naval operations.
The Japanese, according to the cortes-
rondent, ARE acting prudently and will
not be hurried. They realize that GER
tain movements must precede the next
coup by land and sea, and they are
awaiting both favorable weather and
occasion, and from Port Arthur to
Nladivostok are on the alert.
Announcing the notification that mil
itary attaches will be permitted to take
the field, the correspondent remarks
that the aJpanese, in matters of equip
ment, etc, are treating the foreign at
taches and correspondents like princes.

Proposed Senate BUILDING.

II think this is an extravaganza
which surpasses everything have
ever seen offered in this Senate"
With these strong words Senator
Berry of Arkansas denounced the
proposition before the Senate to appro-
pirate 100000 for an office building
and site on capitol hill for the bene-
fit Of senator's. The Arkansas senator
dealt the project some powerful blows
and succeeded in postponinig vote.
It is said there Is no doubt about the
passage of the amendment carrying
the appropriation which the Senate
committee has put into the sundry
civil bill. Mr.. Berry stated 1t to be
the ultimate intention of the Senate
to spend nearly S5,000,O00 on the
building, the pending appropriation
being merely a starter This he figur.
ed would be $4,000 per senator
Mr.. Bailey supported the amend
ment. He said that Mr.. Berrys com
ment as to the cost of the proposed
building might be applied to the capi-
tol. That building had been erected
for the Congress as a whole, and he
considered the best none too good in
the way Of accommodations He did
not want oriental magnifcence, but he
did want splendid buildings. Sena-
tors in Washington should not live in
huts nor stop at wagon yards; nor
should they have their Offices in mac
cessible portions of the capitol.
Mr.. Teller opposed the East front ex-
tension. but advocated the new build
ing, saying that as the country grows,
demands on the capitol will grow.
He expressed the opinion that the time
would come when It would be necessa'
ry to provide Accommodations for SEN
ators from Alaska and Porto Rico,
and gave voice to the hope that 1t
might be necessary to make room for
senators from what is now the Domi-
nlon Of Canada.

E. . . r. 3
Des Moines, Jan. 14.-To save his

their firm, and gave them enough mon
ey to enter into composition OF heir
bankruptcy proceeding, which has been
in the federal court here, and came up
for settlement yesterday afternoon.
Money for Creditors.
Sixteen thousand dollars have been
placed in the hands of William C. Me-

trict court to divide among the cref
itors. All bills will be paid, and ~.
cause Of the magnanimity Of THU
father the two young men will agsi I
be launched in business with no handI-
cap It is claimed by some that the
bankruptcy proceedings came because
the young men became frightened
and feared they would not be nble,to
pull out OF their seeming difficult posi-
tion. j. M. Parker, receiver and trus-
tee, was allowed $500 for his services.
The case is therefore practically set
tied with all creditors paid, excepting
the father. who was a heavy loser.
