SENATE MAY ORDER AN iNVESTI-
CATION OF POSTOFFlCE
DEPARTMENT.

Washington, April IA proposal
to pass q resolution for a postoffice
investigation has been discussed by
some of the Republican members of
the senate committee on postoffices
and postroads, though a determination
for such an inquiry has not been fully
decided upon by the Republican lead
ers. The resolution which has been
suggested will provide that a subcom-
mittee of the committee on postofii ces
and postroads may receive during the
recess OF congress any specific charges
made against any official or person
and determine whether such charges
should be investigated. Members of
the committee say that the resolution
will provide for a committee during
the recess, at which specific charges
will be taken up when presented, but
that no general inquiry will be insti-
tuted.
President Roosevelt had a confer
ence during the day with Senator Pen
rose, chairman OF the committee on
postoffices and postroads, and, subse-
quently, one with Senator Aldrich, the
Republican floor leader of the senate.

ton that the senate provide for an
investigation of the affairs of the post

ment must be purged from all sus-

RESULT AS YET UNKNOWN
ST. PETERSBURG REPORTS SAY
NAVAL BATTLE Is RAGING
OFF PORT ARTHUR.

ST. Petersburg, April IA naval
battle is progressing off Port Arthur,
the result of which is yet unknown.
The Japanese fleet, including torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers,
totals forty. Vice Admiral Makaroff
ordered his whole squadron out of the
harbor to meet the attack.
According to the Associated Press
informant. while preparing to draw up
his line of battle in the outer road
stead, the Petropavlovsk struck a
mine on her starboard side amidships
and Immediately began to heel. Before
the crew could food the port compart-
ments of the vessel in order to keep
her on an even keel she turned turtle
and sank in a few minutes, carrying
down almost the entire crew. The
four officers who escaped were saved
because they were standing on the
upper bridge. The frightful loss of
life among the officers and men was
due to the fact that they We're all at
their stations ready for action.
When the news of Grand Duke
Cyrils miraculous escape reached his
parents here a TIE Deum service was
held at the Vladimir palace.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press was informed there that Grand
Duke Boris was going to accompany
his brother to Mukden. According to
the advices received there Grand Duke
Cyrils injuries are slight.

MAN OF COURAGE AND ENERGY
Death of Makaroff Casts Gloom OveI
St. Petersburg.


st. Petersburg, April 1.-THE def
mite announcement that Vice Admiral
Makaroff was drowned has cast a
gloom over the entire city. 1t is gen.
orally believed that he will be sue
ceeded by Rear Admiral Rojestvensky,
who was slated TO command the Baltic
squadron, and that Vice Admiral
Skrydloff, commander of the Black
sea feet, will be placed in command
of the Baltic squadron.
The late Vice Admiral Makaroff was
appointed, Feb. 26 last, to the COM
mand of the Russian Pacific fleet. He
was one of the heroes of the fighting
on the river Danube during the Russo
Turkish war. Makaroff and Skrydloff,
who have many times since been hon.
ored by their government, wee at that
time lieutenants in the Russ<n navy
and volunteered to make a night at
tack on a powerful Turkish ironelad.
With a torpedo boat they succeeded
in blowing up the Turkish vessel and,
it was claimed at the time, thereby
made the first successful demonstra-
tion of the usefulness of torpedo boats
in naval warfare.
Makaroff originated the idea of con-
structing the famous ice breaking
steamer Ermak, which was built on
the Tyne from his designs.
Since his appointment to the COM
mand of the Russian Pacific fleet
Makaroff had shown himself TO be a
man of great courage and energy.
Early in March he personally went TO
the rescue of Russian torpedo boat
destroyer which was hard pressed by
the Japanese and inspired the naval
forces under his command with great
deal of enthusiasm. He spent Easter
on board a guardship at the entrance
of Port Arthur and every night per-
sonally supervised the precautionary
measures adopted to prevent the Rus
slams from being surprised by the
japanese The last engagement pre-
vious to the present fight in which
Makaroff took part occurred March
81, when he gallantly repulsed the
second attempt of the Japanese to bot
tie up Port Arthur.
