SUPERVISION OF HOSPITAL.
Proposed Transfer to the Interior De
partment

The weekly meeting Of the House COM
mittee on the District of Columbia this
morning was devoted to hearing on the
bill providing for the transfer to the De-
partment of the Interior such supervision
over the Government Hospital for the In
sane, Freedman's Hospital and Asylum,
and the Washington Hospital for Found
lings as may have been conferred upon the
board of charities of the District of Column
bia under the provisions of the act estab-
fishing the latter boards This proposed
transfer has been discussed for some time
past. At the last session Of Congress the
House passed such a bill, but it failed or
action in the Senate. The board of char1-
with disfavor upon the proposed legislation,
especially with reference to Freedman 8
Hospital and the founding institution. They
feel that they have superior means for the
supervision of these institutions, and that,
as the District pays one-half Of the cost OF
maintenance, it should have voice In the
management of their affairs.
All the members of the board of charities
were present at the hearing this morning.
DR.. Charles p Neil spoke for the board in
opposition to the bill. Messrs. George w.
Evans and w. P. Pierson, representing the
Secretary Of the Interior, spoke In favor OF
resentatives of the different institutions af-
fected by the provisions of the bill, but the
time was too short for the committee to
hear them. 1t was accordingly decided to
grant another hearing Thursday morning at
1890 o'clock.
The committee did not decide upon any
bills this morning whatsoever.

EuLoGIzEs ROOSEVELT.
New York Republicans Listen t.
Speech From Gov. Odell.

NEW YORK, February I.-Governor
Oden was the guest of honor at the sixth
annual dinner of the twenty-seventh as
sembly district republican club, given last
night. 1t was called Roosevelt dinner,
although the President was not there.
Governor Odell spoke to the toast 1.-The
State Executive" and his eulogy of Presi-
dent Roosevelt was loudly applauded.
From all over this great country there
have come demands for the denomination of
President Roosevelt. In this great empire
state, where he has served faithfully in
many minor offices and as governor, we
know his qualities and his integrity, and it
should be the aim of every republican to
assist our brethren throughout this great
union not only to nominate but to elect him
by a tremendous and overwhelming ma
jority.
He may have made mistakes. Every
man does. But when he discovers no one
is quicker to rectify them than the man
who now occupies the White House We
owe to him, therefore. in every election dis
trict in this city and in this state to begin
now to organize for victory, to show by
our own actions that we disbelieve many
him by selfish interests, to prove to the
people by our own acts and by our own
efforts that we have confidence in him, and
believe that in his reelection our country
will pass through another four years of
safety"
In a letter of regret President Roosevelt
said he was genuinely sorry that he
could not be present. and wished the diners
every success.

NOT A JAPANESE KILLED.
Report of the Chemulpo Fight by Ad-
miral Uriu.

TOKYO. Wednesday, February 10-The
obstruction of the Russian cruiser Variag
and the gunboat Koreitz at Chemulpo on
Tuesday is officially confirmed, but details
are lacking. Admiral Uriu, commanding
the japanese squadron, sent>a a cablegram
to the navy department saying that the
two Russian vessels weighed anchor at
noon, steamed down the bay and encoun-
tered the Japanese fleet while rounding an
island nine miles from Chemulpo. 1t is not
known who first opened fire, but the ex-
change lasted thirty-four minutes. The
Russian ships withdrew to Chemulpo. The
Koretz exploded about 4:3O o'clock 1t is
not clear how the Variag was destroyed.
The loss of life and the effect Of the shells
on the Russians are unknown. 1t is possi-
BILE that the Russian crews aided in the de-
struction of their vessels to avoid capture
and annihilation.
The japanese did not lose a man and
their ships were not injured. The names of
the Japanese ships are withheld for stra-
tegical reasons. The Russian crews, 1t is
reported, surrendered to the japanese at
Chemulpo. Japan is elated by it's success
in the engagement.

King Edward Declares Neutrality
RUMoRs AT ST. PETERSBURG.
Strict Censorship Of War News-Anx-
iety Among Ship Owners.

ST. PETERSBURG, February IA
rigid censorship still prevents the newspa-
pers this afternoon from receiving war news
from either Russian or foreign sources
No news has been received since Vlceroy
Alexiff's dispatches. and the pubic con-
seauently Is still completely IN the oark.
All manner of rumors are afioat. The gov
ernment. however, has taken measures to
counteract their publication, forbidd1ng the
retail sale of the principal offender, the st.
Petersburg Gazette. The government eX-
pressed great displeasure at the publcauon
of the report of Russian victory and the
raising of false hopes among the popula-
ton.
Nevertheless, the rumors circulated YER
bally are greedily swallowed. According TO
one report here the Russian armored
cruiser Gromoboi recently sailed out of
Vladivostock, destroyed twenty Japanese
transports off southern Korea and was her
self sunk by Japanese cruisers.
Another story claimed that four of the
Vladivostock warships. under Admiral
Stackelberg, had sunk four japanese trans
ports.
The most circumstantial story current in
St Petersburg is report of the sinking of
the Russian cruiser Variag off Chemulpo
Still another is to the effect that the re-
cent Japanese attack on Port Arthur was
a feint to protect the passage of trans
ports bound to Shan-Hai-k to land
Japanese troops there and effect a junction
with the forces of Yuan-S -Shi-Kai, the Chi
nese commander-in-c chief, and attack the
Russians in the rear.
These are but samples of the reports cur
rent in the Russian capital.
All the Russian navigation companies
having vessels in far eastern waters are
anxious about their fate. The volunteer
fleet is particularly concerned regarding the
Ekaterinosav, which left Vladivostock
February 1, and the Voronej. which left
Shanghai, tea-laden, for Singapore, Feb
| ruary /. No news of either vessel has
reached here.
All the naval officers in st. Petersburg
this morning attended a service at the
| Church of st. Nicholas.
The tone of the press comment today is
less bitter against Japan, which is perhaps
| significant.
The report circulated here that the United
States has offered her good services is COM
mented upon only by the Novosti, which
| emphasizes the previous statements that
| Intervention is impossible. and says 1t
doubts whether the offer of good services
| in the strictest sense would have any re-
| suit. The paper adds that it considers it
strange that the United States has made a
| distinction between China and Korea,
which, it points out, is also an Independent
| country.
Russia Entitled to Compensation.
! Respecting the charge that the Japanese
| attack on Port Arthur was made from

REJOICING AT TOKYO.
Japan Newspapers Publish Extras
With News of the Victories,

TOKYO, February. 1O.-Undaunted by the
absence of official confirmation, Japan is
rejoicing over great naval victory at Port
Arthur. A cable report from the Japanese
consul at Cheefoo says that early Monday
the Japanese torpedo boats destroyed three
large Russian warships off Port Arthur.
Thereafter Admiral Togo's fleet of sixteen
warships engage dthe entire Russian fleet
remaining off the port. The consul was
unable to give the result of the main en-
gagement, but said when the steamship
Columbia passed the scene of the action
all of the japanese warships were preserv-
ing their alignment and lighting vigorously
and steadily, and apparently uninjured
The newspapers here published extra edi-
tions containing news of the battle and
produced the first popular demonstration
of the war. Flags were raised everywhere
and excited crowds thronged the streets
Later in the day came a cablegram from
Paris saying the Viceroy Alexieff had re-
ported to ST. Petersburg that three Rus
sian ships had been injured by torpedo
attack.
The newws was accepted In official circles
and transmitted to the palace. This, COM
bined with the bottling and destruction of
two ships at Chemulpo Tuesday, stirred the
populace to the highest enthusiasm and
gave additional confidence as to the out
come of the war. Up to nightfall the navy
department had not received any report
from AdmiraFTogo or other direct sources,
and was disnclined to accept unofficial
statements. but was keenly anxious to learn
the details of the result of the main engage
ment, although confident that Admiral
Togo scored a sweeping victory. The de-
partment anticipated early advices. If the
Russian feet is crippled or destroyed, 1t is
anticipated that an order to advance the
army will be given promptly.
The Japanese have captured at least five
Russian commercial steamers, including the
Ekaterintoslav, Moukden, Russia, Argun
and Alexander. They were captured by
