PLEADED NO PERMISSION
Why American Naval Officers Did not
 Assist in Rescue.

Odessa, March 31.-Russian steamer Malaya has been guaranteed at Con- stantinople. Consequently the sur vivors of the Variag and Korietz, who are on board the vessel will not ar- rive here until tomorrow. A letter from Chemulpo is printed here today. describing the fight
 l. contained the following regarding the rescue of the crew of the Variag and the Korietz:
 Before destroying their ships the Russians signalled to the foreign war ships to take the crews and. wounded on board which they readily agreed to. All ships sent out boats to the Variag and the Korietz to transport the crews. excepting the American cruiser Vicks- burg. Although she did send a surgeon to dress the wounds, she did not take one member of the crews on board. explaining that no permission to do Sc had been received from the American government"

that l know who constitutes the lobby of which he complains, he speaks hasti- ly and without justification. There is not one word of truth in that state- ment."
 MT. Clark replied that he had meant merely to say that Patterson must have observed the lobby, and he withdrew the statement that the Colorado sena- tor had had positive knowledge of it's existence.
 Replying, MT. Patterson admitted his sympathy with a movement for the repeal of land laws, and said that this sympathy was due to the fact that he lies in a public land state and had had the opportunity to observe the operations of these laws. He express ed an opinion that eight out of ten acres of land in Colorado and Wyom- ing had been secured through fraudu- lent means.
 MT. Clark: ''I know nothing about conditions in Colorado, but what the senator says of Wyoming is unquaH- fiedly untrue"
 With this the incident closed
 The postoffice appropriation bill was taken up. MT. McCreary read from the message of the president in regard to the first assistant postmaster gen erals office, and the indictments against Beavers, Machen, Tyner and other officials to show conditions in the department, which he said war ranted and made necessary an lnvesti- gation.
 Ut has been a strange. spectacle, ' said MT. McCreary, when members of the house of representative who have demanded an investigation and reform have been compelled to aban- don the request and themselves have had to go before an Investigating com mittee."
 The policy of the republican party in regard to immigration and statehood for Arizona, New Mexico and Oklaho- ma was severely criticized by Mc- Creary. who said that republican pledges had. been broken. The reasons, said MT. McCreary, are that the re- publicans are getting the ignorant for | eign vote and they fear that they will not get the votes of the new states if they are admitted.
