Bill Will Go Through House
 With Little Change
NO WARSHIPS GUT OUT
Those Favoring Building in Govern
 ment Yards Are Given a Collier-No
 Preferential in Favor of the Pacific
 Coast Contractors Will Be Allowed.

Washington, Fob. 25.-The building programme of the navy as contained in the pending bill occupied the attention of the house throughout the day and the fight is by no means over.
 The minority members of the naval committee who under the leadership of MT. Meyer of Louisiana first gave en- dorsement to the measure, are cam paigning for reduction in the number of ships to be authorized. The amend ment to strike out the one ba:tleship. made yesterday bE MT. Burton of Ohio. was defeated. The cruisers then were put to the test and enough friends for them were found for their retention.
 Construction of ships in the govern- ment yards proved to be a topic for discussion and an amendment by Mr. Bell, of California, requiring one collier to he built in a government yard was adopted
 proposition for a preferential of four per cent in favor of bids from the Pacific coast was defeated after MT. McDermott, of New Jersey had delivered a humorous speech, in which the ship building trust and the state of New Jersey were put forward for charitable consideration by the house.

JAPANESE SPECULATION.
That Port Arthur May be Made too
 Hot to Stay in.

Tokio. Feb 25.-Advices are hourly here of a third naval en- gagement at Port Arthur. The Japan csc are confident that the place is vul- nerable at three points on the sea side. They cite proof of their opinions by the exposion of shells in the town on the occasion of the night fight. The Jap anese were once possessed of Port Arthur and have most complete infor- nation regarding the distance ranges. A bombardment of the place should prove highly destructive, as it is mar row and cramped. As the Japanese shell is very effective, it is believed possible to render the harbor untenable by Russian war ships. A bombardment would force them to put to sea and fight in the open.
 It is thought here that the with drawal of Alexieff from Port Arthur and the removal of his headquarters and records to Harbin is an admission of the weakness of the place.
 It is evident that the Japanese in- tend to make a vigorous onslaught on Port Arthur. Its possession would de- prive the Russians of a naval base and insure a Japanese base fer future oper- atiOns in the Lao Tung peninsula.

SYMPATHY Vs. TRADE.
Russians Takinz a Commercial Re
 venge Upon the United States.

St. Petersburg. Feb. 25.-The irrita- tion against the United States on ac- count of the supposed unfriendly at titude, of that country against Russia, which was slightly noticeable through out the negotiations, seems to have beome daily more pronounced since the Vicksburg incident of Chemulpo (when the commander of this American gun boat is said to have refused to unite with the commanders of the other foreign warships at Chemulpo to pro- test against the fighting, which re- suited in the loss of the Russian war ships Variag. and KorietZ. The Vicks- burg did not take on board survivors of the Russian ships.
 American business circles here are really alarmed, concerning the possible effect on American trade. Within the last few days orders for American goods have been countermanded, the only reason being that the prospective purhasers did not desire to buy Amer ican goods under the present >eircumE stance.

LAPS PAY A DEBT.
It Was Good Time For This Govern.
 nnent to Insist Upon 1t.

Tolxio. Feb. 25.-The Japanese govern ment today paid the famous White whiskey claim by handing United Sta'es Minister Griscom draft for s115,0G0 in favor of the American Trading com pany. The claim arose from a customs decision rendered in 1900, holding an inn portation of 5000 barrels of whiskey to be alcohol, and increasing the duty from forty to 250 per cent.
 Japan at first rejected the claim for the repayment of the amount alleged to have been overcharged by the customs department, but Minister Griscom on his arrival at Tokio renewed it, and pressed the case with firmness. His success in securing payment is very gratifying to American commercial men, the settlement of the matter be ing regarded as another mark of the friendliness of Japan for America.

THE ALLEGED WRECKERS
Case Against One of the Accused
 Union Leaders Failed.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Feb. 25.-After the introduction of evidence was con- cluded by the prosecution today in the conspiracy case against the miners union leaders, Sherman Parker, Thos. Foster and w. F. Davis, charged with attempting to wreck a Florence and Cripple Creek passenger train, the court ordered Davis discharged. It also ordered the charge against Foster of participation in the alleged second at tempt at train wrecking dismissed, no having been made by the pros ecution to connect him herewith. A motion of the defendants attorneys that the charges against Parker and Foster also be dismissed was denied.
 D. c. Scott, special agent for the Florence and Cripple Creek railroad was on the stand, and corrobcrated the testimony of Special Agent Sterling of the Mine Owners association concern ing the alleged crime and arrest of the defendants. He was followed by Con ductor Rush. of the train the men were charged with attempting to wreck, who testified that Scott had asked him what point the train wreckers would most likely try to ditch a train on his road.
 This is considered the most impor- tant admission drawn out in the cross examination as it tends to prove. so the defense claims. that others than union men made the attempt at train wrecking.
 Sterling was recalled and asked as to the hatred supposed to exist for each other by the Mine Owners asso- citation and the Western Federation of Miners as organizations, but an objec- ton to the question was sustained.
 The defense will begin the introduc- tion of testimony tomorrow

DEATH IN THE DEPTHS
Five Men Killed in 1,000-Foot Level
 ofthe Minnie Healey.

Butte. Mont. Feb. 25--Five lives were lost by a cave in of earth and rock in the famous Minnie Healey mine this afternoon.
 The dead are:
 THOMAS HAGGERTY, shift boss.
 THOMAS FURLONG.
 WILLIAM DIVER.
 IKE ABRAHAM.
 ANTON TRINETTT, all miners.
 The accident occurred on the sixth floor of the 1000 fcot level. Early in the day Foreman Joseph Kane was in formed that the ground in that place was soft and in danger of falling. He withdrew all the miners working there. This afternoon Shift Boss Haggerty took four men to bulkhead and other wise strengthen the weak spots. Just how the fall came will never be known, as not one of the men was left to tell the tale.
 The bodies of Haggerty and Trinetti were found early this evening but it is likely to be days before the others are recovered.

New Haven, Conn.,. Feb. 25.-Wm. ]. Bryan came here today from Wash ington or business connected with the will of the late P. S. Bennett, of which he is executor. He was in consulta- tion this afternoon with Judge Cleve- land, of the probate court. A new de- murrer was filed in the superior court today by counsel for Mrs. Bennett, widow of P. s. Bennett. The demurrer was to the answer recently entered by MT. Bryan to the suit for a construc- tionNof the Bennett will.
 MT. Bryan said he had informed Judge Cleaveland that all parties in- terested in the will have agreed upon plan for the disposal of the personal estate which. however has nothing to do with the matter now in litigation.

SENATE BY PLAY.

Washington, Feb. 25-The senate to- day passed both the agricultural and the legislative. executive and judicial appropriation hill. An amendment to the agricultural bill suggested by Mr. Hepburn of Idaho caused an animated discussion. It contemplated a super vision of interstate commerce so as tO prevent the transfer Of plants or seeds fraudulently marked from one state 70 another. The amendment started a de bate on patriotism. 1t was ruled out on a point of order.
 While MT. Tillman was addressing the senate Senator Warren tiDtoed to MT. Tillman's side and abstracted bottle from the South Carolina sena- tors pocket
 The bottle contained a cOlorlesS liquid. MT. Warren removed the cork, smelled the contents, replaced the cork and unnoticed by MT. Tillman returned the bottle to the latter's pocket. The senate and galleries were convulsed with laughter. MT. Tillman was un- conscious of the by play until told oe the incident. He therefore walked to the seat of Mir Warren, and taking the bottle from his pocket. offered 1t in the attitude of one proffering drink of liquid. The offer was declined.
 Mir. Tillman again referred to the incident and explained that the bottle contained only a throat gargle. If had known" he said, that the senator wanted drink I would have provided him with something stronger" Ex- blaming the incident, MT. Warren said everybody knew that Tillman neither tastes nor handles it.
 Don't go too far interrupted Mir Tillman. T sometimes taste it but don't get drunk except at banquets. and then l don't get so drunk that I have to be carried home.
