St Petersburg, March 27.-The En-
peror has received the following tele-
gram from Vice Admiral Makaroff. un-
der date of Port Arthur, March 26th:
Il have the honor to report that l
left port to-day with battleships, cr,sis-
crs and torpedo boats in order to make
reconnaissance of some adjacent is
lands"
A Port Arthur correspondent writes
that repairs to the battleship Retvizan
and the protected cruiser Pallada have
now been completed, the battleship
Cesarevitch being the only remaining
lame ship in the squadron.
The preservation of Admiral Makar-
offs squadron intact is regarded as OF
vital importance, as 1t is now certain
that the admiral's plans contemplate
sending powerful reinforcements from
the Baltic during the summer. Six bat
tleships. the Orel, Borodino. Kniaz.

tackled Port Arthur. The correspondent
says that the smallest japanese force
could easily have capured and de-
stroyed enormous stores OF coal, 600,-
600 pounds Of tea and six Russian mer-
chantmen lying in the harbor. As the
japanese failed to attack Dalny the
Russians at once mined the approach,
the haste with which the work was per-
formed being the cause Of the blowing
up of the Yenisei. Many of the mines
were badly laid, SO that the protected
cruiser Boyarin struck one Of them
during storm. The correspondent
says the Boyarin was not sunk imme-
diately. Her captain succeeded in
placing collision mat in position SO
that the Boyarin was beached. The
Boyarin has since been taken to Port
Arthur, where she has been repaired,

capital and among all classes the gal

 This resolution inquiry. which Is all that Representative Crumpacker pro- poses at the present time, is in com plete harmony with the paragraph of the Republican platform adopted in Chicago last June. which says:

 If special committee should be con- stituted 1t probably would not go to the Southern States at all. As I have explained. it would not concern itself in any way with questions of intimida- tion or discrimination or maladiminis- tration by election officers, but would limit It's inquiry wholly to a discus- sion of the different statute laws en- acted by the legislatures with the idea of determining approximately how many men were disfranchised by the operation of law alone. For this reason the special committee would not have to go outside of Washington.
 All data necessary can be obtained direct from the census bureau in a few days time. A collection of election laws of every State already has been made but not submitted officially to Congress, and the census figures, 1t is said. will furnish all statistics neces- sary.

Representatives, made since the open ing day on Monday. seems 10 snow large majority of the Republican rank and file is in favor of the idea of a special committee to investigate the subject. An equally large majority favors a reduction of the representa- tion merely as an abstract proposition but almost an equal number are op- posed to action on the ground that the fourteenth amendment was intended merely to assist in the reconstruction of the South and that conditions have develoned there since which render 1t inadvisable to enforce the provisions Of that amendment.
 Leaders to Determine Action.
 Within the next day or two some irn- portant conferences of leaders will be held and they will determine among themselves whetheg the Crumpacker resolution shall be passed at the present time or not. That is merely the House resolution. It does not have to go to the Senate. It pro- ,vides only for the creation of a special committee of the House which will re- port only to the House and which will be naia for out of the contingent fund.

manded that representation in Con- gross and in the electoral college shall be proportionately reduced as directed by the constitution of the United States"
 The House leaders are opposed as a general rule to any action at all, be- cause they fear an investigation will produce more radical action in the future. and old heads in Congress gen. orally believe the South has about all 1t can do to handle the race question at present without arousing new anil mosities through the limitation of suf- frage. On the other hand. several Southern men have told me that they always expected their representation would be cut down, and they were pre- pared to accept such action, because they believed their States would be bet ter off without negro suffrage, no mat ter how much the representation in Congress and in the electoral college should be cut down.

Three times I have seen Mrs. Bal 1ingtou Booth, and each time picture clear and unfading remained In my memory. One morning was going through Washington market. New York City. A man and woman wear- ing the uniform of the Salvation Army were walking past meat stnad in the market. Some big. burly, coarse faced fellows jeered at the pair. mak- ing the horse laugh of ignorance. Plainly. too. the animus of theological hatred was behind the behavior of the burly rowdies.
 The Salvation Army pair were only walking past the stand, looking neith- CT to the right nor left. The feelinG that came uppermost in the outsiders mind was that the jeering men ought to have had their mouths slapped. But the woman only turned her face toward the men and smiled. the smile Of ar angel Her face was beautiful. cu. that smile, radiant and sweet. giorineo 1t. From portraits had seen recoG- mixed that she whom the men had in- suited was Mad Ballington Booth.
 The second time I saw her she spoke in Plymouth Church. Brooklyn, the old meeting house within whose walls somehow the eioquence of Henry Ward Deecher still seems to finger unforgot- ten. But never even Beecherian elo- quence impressed an audience in the old church more than the words of crowded and silence unbroken even by the church cough. Those people lis tened as though they feared to lose g. word of that singulariy sweet. thrill- ing voice. First the uncommon beau ty of the woman speaker impressed the throng, then the music of her voice. then the devoted earnestness and en- thusiasm with which she had given herself to the mission of helping those whom other people seemed to have for gotten. Tears came to some eyes there as she talked to us. And after the meeting closed none there was but went away with a deeper reverence for womanhood, a hope for the higher de- velopment of humanity.
 Balllngton Booth and his wife, Eng fish though they were, came to like us in America so well that both became naturalized citizens of the United States. Maud Booth as well as her husband went through the legal for malities that transferred her allegiance from Great Britain to this republic. After a time occurred the separation from the Salvation Army and the for nation by MT. and Mrs. Booth of the Volunteers of America.
 A dozen years ago Maud Ballingtop Booth was in San Quentin. Cal, where the State prison is While there she received a letter from a number of the convicts in the penitentiary asking her to come and address them. She went. She talked to them and moved them as hardly any other living speaker can do- She met them not as one patronizine them from superior heights of virtue. but as one who felt toward them as sister might feel toward brother.
