Eliot isles would cover this movement.

Chino-Japanese war, landing simulta-
neously at Talien Wan and Kin Chou,
thus cutting off Port Arthur from each
side of the Lao Tung peninsula.

Japanese OmciaIly Deny Various
Reports of Losses.

London. Feb. 1S.-The Japanese le-
cation here received an official dispatch
from Toxic tonight saying it was not
true that any Japanese vessels had been
destroyed, so far, in any of the various
naval engagements, and that all nee

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON COLLECTOR CRUM.
The Democrats, However, win
Carry the Fight Into the Senate.
BY r. M. Larner.

BY r. M. Larner.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-By a strict
party vote. the Senate Committee on
Commerce to-day decided to report
favorably the nomination of DR.. Crum
as collector at Charleston.
The result was preceded by a sharp
exchange of political views between
Senator Frye. chairman. in support of
Crum, and Senators Clay. Berry and
Martin of the minority. Senator Frye
denounced the opposition to Crum as
unjustifiable and beneath the dignity
of the Senate. He not only paid tribute
to Crums ability, Intelligence and high
character, but took occasion to indulge
in a general criticism of the white peo-
pie of the Southern states for their
treatment of the negro race.
The Democratic senators resented the
attack upon the white people of the
South, and plainly told Senator Frye
that he allowed his political bias to
blind his Judgment in dealing with the
race problem in the South. upon which
he was evidently either misinformed or
carried away by extreme partisan zeal
Considerable bitter feeling was en-
gendered and the Democrats propose
to carry the fight into the Senate and
stave off confirmation for an indefinite
period.
Senator Tillman was greatly incensed
at the partisanship displayed by Sem
ator Frye.
When the committee was polled it
uyac found fbaf Garatn porIriy,s 0e
ifornia, who had previously voted
against Crum. had absented himself
from the committee meeting rather
than vote against the members of his
party.
Senator Stone was the only Demo-
cratic absentee, so that the vote was
eight to five in favor of Crum.
