apparent to the Austro-H Hungarian
throne, intends to marry Mile. Czuber,

There has been a revival of recon-

memorandums on the subject sent by

TUESDAY EVENING. JAN. 10. 1904.

is the ninety-seventh anniversary
of The birth Of Robert Edward Lee, justly
REGARDED as Que of the galaxy OF the
great military chieftains that has APP
peared upon the earth. As has often
been said. his was a genius equal to any
whose names have come down to US IN
history, while he was devoid Of the fail
inys and bad passions which often ac-
company greatness. He was not only a
great captain, but was OF the highesl
type of man. Possessing the gentleness
Of a m he had the courage OF AJAX,
and after having for four years battled
against terrible odds, he rose superior 70
every disappointment and was as muc
an object of veneration in failure asln
victory. History has perpetuated the
names of many who have sought the
bubble reputation at the cannon's
mouth. Most of them were anxious to
wade through the blood of their fellow
creatures to pinnacles of fame. They
sought the positions they attained often
in a manner which which will not bear
Investigation. Not so with Lee. The
exalted position be filled so well came to
him. We are told that Ulysses, far from
home was so enchanted by the Sirens
song that his followers had to tie him to
the mast in order that he might escape
their wiles. There were Siren songs IN
the air as the war between the States
was seen to be inevitable, and had the
subject of this notice sought his personal
advancement the opportunity OF his
lifetime was before him. But he was
inyulnerable to all the Vaccinations Of
those trying days and realized that his
duty to his State was sacred. He was
a Vispinian ;he belonged on the south
side of the Potomac, and when the clash
of war came he was ready TO answer to
his name as a son of the Old Dominion,
and the faithful manner in which be
PLAYED his part is known to all.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.

There is a strong indication that
through the Cars personal acts the
! peace party in Russia is completely in
the ascendant. The fresh assurances
conveyed through Ambassador Cassini
to the authorities at Washington of the
recognition of the rights acquired by the
Chinese treaty is largely attributed to
Count Lamsdorf's influence. Diplc-
matte circles regard Count Lamsdorf's
conduct of the negotiations under the
Cars direction as a very hopeful sign.
Another strong influence on the side of
peace has been the attitude of NJ. Witte,
president OF the Council of State, who
has been bending his energies to avoid a
conflict.
Russia recognizes Japan's predomi-
nance in Korea, and Japan recognizes
Russia's special position in Manchuria.
There are two main questions still at
issue-the Russian demand for q Deutral
zone on the Korean side of the Yalu
river which Japan met with a proposal
for the similar neutral strip on the Man
churia side. Japan also asks for certain
guarantees covering Manchuria which
Russia thus far has declined to grant.
1t is pointed out, however, that the as
suraDces given a few days ago by Russia
regarding open ports in Manchuria and
respect for treaty rights isa concession
on this point.
That the two countries are not so far
apart may be fairly inferred from the
following statement made by Mr.. Kurino, !
the japanese minister, to The Associated
Press correspondent "War now would
only be disastrous to both countries.
to the geographical situation an
armed conflict would result in a great
drain of the men and treasure of both
Japan and Russia, without being de-
cisiye. Besides, | believe it would not
be worth while to go to war on the
question still in dispute"

To Lengthen Term of Congressman.

New Orleans, Jan. 19.-Several Mis-
sissippi Legislators have concluded the
two years term for Congressman is too
short and that it should be four, despite
the federal constitution which says two
shall be the limit. A plan is being
quietly put forth to pass a State act max
ing the party nomination for four years
instead of two. The Congressman's
term would expire at the end of two
years, but his nomination for another
term would have already been made and
his election would only be a formality.

next to Senator German he is the best

secur absolute accuracy, or at least get

laws, population, officials, and so forth.
There isn't anything missing in the way

legislation, sporting statistics, facts about
universities, colleges, patriotic societies,

THE CONFIDENCE of the democrats
that they will win in the next election
is amazing to the republicans. Con-
sentative reports from all parts of the
country agree that Mr.. Roosevelt is not
as strong as be was a year ago, and that
he is rapidly losing ground. 1t is ex-
pected that he will be nominated, and
the democrats hope so. Senator Platt's
statement that the democrats are return
ing to a 'sane and dangerous condition
gave the President cold chills. He talked
about it for days to his friends and
wondered what Senator Plat meant.
The Presidents worried condition is
trying to the republican veterans who
have fought many battles and they say
privately that he does not stand the
gait, but he is not blind and can see the
tide which has set in against him.

1t is reported that a resolution Will be
offered in the Senate in a few days pro-
vidiDg for the investigation OF the
charges against Senator Dietrich. 1t IS
reported that it will receive the support
of the Senate, and it is believed by
many of those who favor its introdue-
SION that the result of the whole matter
will be the avr"l-;~- VI cue NeoIaeA"
senator. In the old and better days a
man who would plead a technicality
in defense to a criminal charge would
not have been allowed to retain his seat
in the Senate, but many men are now
made senators who then could not have
been elected town councilmen. Dietrich
pleaded. and successfully, that when ne
accepted a bride he had not taken his
seat as a senator, though he had beer
elected to that Office. Such a bubble
is beneath the dignity of an honest man.

SENATE.


A House bill, providing for the APP
pointment of a customs appraiser at
Pittsburg, Pa, at a salary of 50, 900,
was passed.
The resolutions, providing for a con
gressional investigation OF the Postofice
Department, which have been before
the Senate for several weeks, were re-
ferred to the committee on p~ostofices
and postroads, without objection.
When the German resolution, request
ing the President to inform the Senate
when military power was first used by
this government under thetreatY of 1886
was taken up, Dir. Quarles spoke in de-
tense of the administrations policy.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Hepburn asked unanimous con-
sent for the immediate consideration Of
the pure food bill.
Mr.. Smith objected.
There being no other business before
the House, the Speaker ordered a call of
committees.
The call being completed, Speaker
Cannon laid before the House the Pana-
ma correspondence, which was sent to
the Senate by the President yesterday.
Mr.. Hepburn then renewed his mo-
ton to consider the pure food bill in the
committee of the whole.
This time there was no objection, and
his motion was carried. 81
By agreement, debate was limited to
four hours.
Mr.. Mann who reported the bill to
the House, said hat the measure was
identical with the one which passed the
House in the last Congress. He said
that there was a national demand for
the legislation. Mr.. Mann's desk was
covered with bottles of liquors, oils, cans
of fish. and meats, and resemSled a
small sized grocery store and ''speak
easy' combined. AS he told of the
deliberations of wines and foods, he dis
played samples.
Mr.. Adamson opposed the bill on the
ground hat the legislation was unneces-
sary. The several states haze complete
power to remedy the evils, he declared.
Mr.. Shackleford said hat the bill was
too broad and would operate to promote
the interest Of the food trusts.

To SEPARATE RACEs.--Mr. Kerbin,
of Worcester, introduced two Jim
Grow" bills in the Maryland House of
Delegates last night, one applying to
steamboat, the other to railroad travel.
The measures are almost identical in
their provisions. The steamboat bill re-
quires the captains of vessels TO separate
the whites and negroes, as far as the
construction of his boat will permit, and
provide each with sitting, sleeping and
eating apartments. The act is not to
apply to nurses or attendants travelling
with employers. A violation of the act
is a misdemeanor, and punishable with
a fine of not less than $25 nor more than
$50. A traveller refusing to occupy the
location assigned TO him may be fined
not less than IS, or be confined in jail
80 days, and he may be elected from the
boat at the next place of landing.

THE LEGAL VIEW.

4 fractional mining location has no greater nor any less rights than those of full-sized claim, and for that req sen there is no law particularly referr- ed to fractions. Where two fraction al claims are located by the same per son, with no intervening space between them owned by another locator, the To- catioCs can not be aTeLded to con5ti- tute a single claim. Each fraction re mains a single location. They may be held u1Cer speaTate amended locations however, So formed as to secure parral- lelisn Of end lines, if this can be done without conflicting with others. and consequently, the exercise Of the extra lateral right privilege, presuming that the fractions are located on a vein CT ve.Is. a prerequisite to location. The only conditions under which fractional claims may be included in a single lo- cation in the manner described, is ID the case of fractional placer claims oc- curing within the same forty-acre tract and separated by a quartz lOca- tion. In such cases the land depart m0nt has permitted such consolidation though there is nothing in the statutes referring to anything of the sort.
