According to the Scott organs,
our junior senator IS working very
hard now to have a lot of pensions
claims passed for people who can't
get pension through The pension
department. This is an old gag
that has been worn thread bare
years ago by men who want to be
reelected to Office. They all work
this scheme just before election,
after the election they have moth
Ing more to say on the subject. The
man who tries to work this old gag
shows weakness. Its a very small
thing for United States Senator

RUSSIAN BRUTALITY

TOXIC. Feb. 16.-The Government is
receiving additional circumstantial re-
rorts of the alleged cruelty of Russians
toward Japanese refugees from Man
churia. The Japanese Consul General
at Tientsin has just telegraphed to the
authorities here giving a recital of the
story told by thirteen women who had
lust arrived at Shanhaikwan. The
thirteen were residing at Hardin and
started south on February with 300
companions. One-half of these, with
the women, reached Mukden on the
10th and were ordered to leave the train
by Russian soldiers, who cruelty abused
them and detained the party, which
they divided, the men being ordered to
proceed to Port Arthur. The women

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-It is prob

dered shortly to the Far East and will
join the cruiser squadron of the Asiatic
fleet at Shanghai.
Admiral Evans, commanding the
Asiatic station. has notified the Navy
Department that he has dispatched

poses during the progress of the war.

were sent to Newchwang, where United
States Consul Miller provided food and
transportation for them to Shanhai-
kwan.
The women say they saw several
Japanese refugees cruelty beaten and
wounded They say that the Russian
soldiers robbed them of money and
jewelry. Some Of the Japanese escaped
punishment by bribing the soldiers.
The Japanese Government and people
are deeply stirred by these reports.
They point to their own correct attitude
toward the Russians in Japan and de-
nounce the Russians as barbarians.
The sinking of the Nakamura Maru
and the treatment of the refugees are
creating a feeling which betokens a
bitter and relentless war 1t is i'm
probable that the Japanese will re-
taliate in kind whatever excesses the
Russians commit.
The Japanese are unable to under
stand why the men and women refugees
from Harbin were divided. Tt is sug-
gested that Russia intends to hold the
men at Port Arthur in the hope of
avoiding a bombardment. This, how
ever, appears extremely improbable.

captain Of the vessel had placed tor

these papers, but there is a probability
that those which were lost contained

which the others do not.
