Washington, April 2l.-Desecration
of the insignia of the D. A. R.. the
spinning wheel and distaff, was legis-
lated out OF existence last evening by
an amendment to the bylaws, providing
that the insignia "shall be worn only on
the LETT breast by members, and may be
worn suspended from the neck by Off
GERS and ex-officers." As expounded
by Mrs. Edward H. Ogden and Mrs.
Gatchell, of Philadelphia, and Mrs.
Mansfield, of Massachusetts, the pin has
been abused by thoughtless members o
recent years, who have worn the symbol
in every conceivable way, even at the
packets of their dresses, to bring ridicule
upon the daughters. No sooner had
the amendment become law than a
number of delegates, were seen making
surreptious searches over their clothes
for strayed spinning wheels. Others
were forced to wait until they reached
their hotels before conforming with the
law of the society, for fear of publicly
disturbing the bond between their skirts
and waists.
Reports from State Regents occupied

Mrs Winston, regent of the Army and
Navy Chapter, Washington, offered the
resolutions. A committee was appointed
by Mrs. Fairbanks to petition Congress
in the matter.
A number of State Regents and Vice
Regents were announced as having been
elected by the various State delegations,
among them Mrs. Eleanor w. Howard,
OF Virginia.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate yesterday listened to a
set speech OF almost two hours duration
on the trusts by Mr.. Dolliyer, who said
trusts are circumscribed by natural laws.
He also declared that the republicans
propose to revise the tariff laws in their
own way. Later the Senate took up and
completed the consideration of the sun
dry civil appropriation bill, again de-
voted much time TO the consideration
of the provisions for an extension OF the
east front of the Capitol and for an adj
ditional Office building for the Senate.
The Office building amendment was
agreed to as reported from the commit
tee, but the extension paragraph was so
modified as practically to provide for
plans only, the appropriation being re-
duced to $75, 000
The session of the House was devoid OF
special interest. After an extended de-
bate, the naval appropriation bill was
sent back to conference, the only dis
puted Senate amendment accepted being
that providing for the construction in
navy yards of two GOLFERS. Mr.. Rixey,
of Virginia, insisted that Congress had
appropriated sufficient money and that
the yards ought to be ready to build the
GOLFERS. A bill providing for the allot-
ment of the lands Of the New York In
dams was passed, after much discussion,
and after the committee on rules had
brought in resolution providing for its
immediate consideration.

THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL 81, 1904.

SENATOR FORAKER in a speech before
the Vermont republicans at Burlington
yesterday said:
We are Just entering upon great ma
tional contest, a presidential election.
The question is and will be not alone one
of men. but also, aud more particularly,
whether the party that is now solving the
great problems which confront us shall
he displaced and our political adverse
ries substituted. That is the paramount
issue of the campaign. Speaking of what
we are doing now, | want to say in the
first place. that we are standing pat"
on ali the great fundamental republican
policies.
To say that the republicans are solv-
ing the great problems which now con-
front the country is laughable, to say the
least. They are not only not solving them
but placing them in greater tangle as
long as they remain in power Ihey
haven't even the ingenuity to cut some
oftbe knots. STANDING pat" is a vulgar
expression, and a United States Senator
in using it cheapens himself. The fund
amental republican policies" to which
he referred have long since had theii
fallacy exploded.

The snoot Case.

Washington, April 21.-Brigham II.
Roberts was again placed on the stand
this morning at the inquiry into the
Reed Smoot case before the Senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections. He
was questioned with regard 20 his state
ment yesterday that the elections in
Utah oscillated between the democratic
and republican parties. He said that
the only times when the democrats elect
ed their candidates were in 1896 and in
1898, when the silver question was prac-
tically the only one discussed in Utah
and in fact throughout the West. Since
then the republicans had been success
full in the elections. Witness then
identified an interview published in
Utah during his candidacy for Congress
in which he admitted the right Of the
church to discipline members OF the
church when they entered into poll
tics without first securing permission.
He also admitted that after having been
elected from Congress and his return to
Utah he had been, in 1900, again prose
cuted for polygamy. He was not con-
victed, the matter having been sent to
the Supreme Court and there thrown out.
Calvin Cobb, proprietor of the Boisex
idaho Statesman, was then called. He
said that he had no knowledge except
by hearsay of persons living in polygamy
in Idaho. He did not understand that
there had been plural marriages cele-
brated there since the manifesto. One
third of the members of the legislature
of Idaho, he said, were Mormons. The
leaders of both the democratic and re-
publican parties in the State catered to
the Mormon element.
The effort to adopt new constitution
for Idaho, excluding the provisions Of
the present constitution which prohibits
plural marriages and polygamous cohabi-
tation, and repeating the "test cath
which is the question now uppermost in
the State, was then discussed by the wit.

TOday's Telegraphic News
WARM THE FAR EAST.

Rome, April 21.-A telegram from
Chefoo received this morning states that
Admiral Togo has a Especial boat prepared
and will make another attempt to bottle
no Port Arthur harbor tonight. If the
effort is successful, the japanese Adj
mirars plan is to dismantle the Russian
forts one after the other, and thus have
the Port Arthur force completely at his
mercy.
Berlin, April 2l.-The newspaper
Die Post reports that the Russian gar
risou and the population ofVladivostock,
Siberia, are threatened with famine.
The report is in all probability true, as
dispatches received in the past few days
have stated that the supply of food at
this Pacific port of Siberia is so meagre
that many of the population have been
compelled to leave in an effort to obtain
the bare necessities of life. Railroad
communication with the city has been
irregular and it is impossible TO get sup
plies there sufficiently fast to relieve the
unsatisfactory state of affairs.
St. Petersburg, April 21.-As the re-
suit of an opinion expressed by Admiral
Skrydlof, the new naval commander in
the far East, it has been definitely de-
cided to send the Russian squadron in
the Baltic Sea to the far East. There
has been considerable hesitation regard
ing the dispatchiDg of this squadron to
the seat Of hostilities. 1t was decided
to send the fleet, but afterward the ad-
visibility of such move was questioned
by the authorities. Admiral Skrydlof,
according TO reported interview with
him, plans to combine all the Russian
fleets and, if possible, clear both the
Pacific and Yellow Seas of japanese
vessels by combined effort.
Berlin, April 2l.-The FrankfurteT
Zeitung prints a dispatch from its Man
churian correspondent this morning re-
porting that bitter anti-American feel
ing is prevalent throughout that section
of the Chinese domain This feeling, he
says, is so strong that the lives OF Amer
leans are endangered. The Russians,
he continues, are prosecuting the Amer
leans who failed to flee before hostilities
were thoroughly under way between
Russia and Japan. Four unarmed Amer
leans were detained at Mukden on a
charge of espionage in behalf of the Jap
anese. An American named Rally, OF
New York city, has disappeared from
Mukden, and his fate is unknown.
There is similar feeling against the
English. An Englishman who was ar
rested at Port Arthur on a charge of act
ing as spy, has been hanged at Mukden.

churia is also hot

President Scolded.

Miss Mary c. Ryan, Of Elizabeth, n.
j., created a sensation yesterday after
noon in the blue room of the White
House, where President and Mrs. Roose-
Welt we're shaking hands with AGO
Daughters of the American Revolution,
of whom Miss Ryan is one. Pointing a
stern finger at Mr.. Roosevelt, she asked,
rather shrilly, why the President had
not attended the laying of the corner
stone of the Memorial Continental Hall
Tuesday. Mr.. Roosevelt blushed, and
attempted to explain that he had been
too busy. "YOu shouldn't be so busy
as all that" cried Miss Ryan. ''You
should remember that if it hadn't been
for our Continental fathers you would
not be President of the United States to-
day, but yassal of Great Britain" In
his confusion the President was glad to
psss the wrathful Jersey patriot on to
Mrs. Roosevelt, and the line of Daugh-
tiers began moving again.

RoRBING ofrailrOad cars seems TO nave
become an epidemic in Virginia. In
the City Court at Winchester yesterday
Henry Mckinney and David Hook, two
Young white men, pleaded guilty to the
theft of large quantity of liquor from
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ware
house. and we're sentenced to ten months
each in Jail. They stole l44 bottles OF
whisky, and it was while they and their
friends we're enjoying it that the thelt
was discovered and the thieves detected.
Quite number of persons have been
arraigned in different places in Virginia
during the past few months charged WIN
pilfering from railroad cars. In some
instances people in the employ oil the
companies have been theaccused. Many
of the latter class are not naturally
thieves. but they unconsciOusly fall into
the habit Of helping themselves to the
contents of cars, seemingly not regard
ing such acts in a serious light because
the company will be compelled to pay the
losses. Pilfering is pilfering, whether
from a company or a private individual,
and now that examples are being made
of some of the accused, it is hoped tina
Others may take warning and proh'
thereby.
