REFORM TO CLOSE
RED CROSS FIGHT
Senator Proctor Submits Pro.
posals for Reorganization Of
Society by Congress.

Washington, May 4.-Senator Proc
tor has a plan for the reorganization
of the Red Cross society which he.
hopes will reconcile the differences
which exist with regard to the affairs
Of the organization. a-.. -
He proposes the issuance by con-
gress Of a new charter vesting the con-
troll of the affairs Of the organization
In a central governing body of eigh-
teen persons. Of these six are to be
appointed by the president, who also
is to designate the presiding officer.
The plan, generally speaking, is
along the lines followed in some Of
the European countries.
Former Secretary Of the Treasury
Charles Foster drew up these propo-
sails and they were considered yester-
day at a meeting attended by Senator
Proctor and General Ainsworth of the
Investigating committee, and by At
torneys Hopkins and Stebbins, repre-
senting Miss Barton and the Red Cross
\ organization, and by General Wilson
and Attorney Robinson, representing
the element known as the remon-
strants.
After the conference Senator Proc
tor expressed the opinion that there
was an excellent prospect for success.
If the reorganization is effected 1t
will bring the pending investigation
to clcse and Senator Proctor an
/. nounced that ir any event the matter
4 would not be pursued further before
next autumn.

Death By Slow Poison
Chronic Sufferers From Constipation
Are Slowly Poisoned to Death-A
- Sure and Rational Cure.

sure ana ttaLlOnal cure.
If those who suffer from temporary
bowel torpidity generates all kinds Of
malignant and dangerous poisons
within their systems they would feel
the necessity Of effecting a cure.
These poisons develop very insidi-
ously, sometimes undermining the
whole constitution before their pres
ence is shown outwardly. Subsequent
ly they manifest themselves in great
variety Of ways, such as eruptions of
the skin, intense headaches, lassitude,
nervousness and nervous .prostraion
in all of it's dread forms. Dyspepsia
and indigestion, and imperfect nutri-
ton, all result from chronic and neg-
lected constipation.
Cures (so-called) without NUNS
Der are daily placed before the public,
The majority Of them act simply as
as they are from powerful and often
poisonous drugs, which greatly harm
the delicate tissues and the mucous
membranes frthe stomach and intes-
tines. In Iron-Ox Tablets really ra-
tionaI mild, yet marvelously effective
remedy for constipation Is offered
That they positively effect q cure in
every instance has been proved over
and over again by the undisputed tes-
timony Of thousands and to those
sufferers who have tried in vain to
cure themselves Of this distressing
condition, we say in all earnestness
and with a conviction born Of posi-
tive knowledge, try "Iron-Ox Tablets"
Your system needs them. Your
health demands them.

the enemy Monday night, with the OBJ
port, and that it was successfully re-
PEELED.
''At o'clock five torpedo boats
were perceived near the coast from
the eastern batteries. Under the fire
of our warships and the batteries,
they retreated southwark.
"At 1:45 o'clock the first freship,
escorted by several torpedo boats, was
sighted, and we opened fire upon it
from the batteries and the warships
"Three-quarters of an hour after
ward our search1ights revealed a num-
Der Of f1reships making for the en-
trance to the harbor from the east and
southwest.
"The coast-defense vessels Otvashni
and Gremieschi and the gunboat Gil
liak repulsed them by a well-directed
fire.
Altogether eight ships were sunk
by our vigorous cannonade, by White
head torpedoes launched from our
torpedo boats and by the explosion of
several submarine mines.
Further, according to the reports
of the officers commanding the bat
teries and the gunboat Giliak, two

cluding two mortally wounded officers
who took refuge on a launch, or were
rescued from the hreships by us, have

ARMIES ARE RESTING

st. Petersburg, May 4.-since the
emperor's removal to Tsarsk oye-Selo
a new system has been introduced Of
communicating official messages in
tended for publication to special
commission of military and naval CEN
SOrs.
f Formerly all kilograms addressed to
the emperor received direct at the
Winter Palace were sent to Admiral
Abaza, who deciphered them and for
warded them to a committee sitting in
the telegraph office.
The censors read the messages care
fully, omitted a word or a passage
likely to prove useful to the. enemy
and then duplicate was given out to
the correspondents quartered in an
adjoining room.
The only delay arose from the cen-
sors adjourning from 2 p. m. to q
p. m.
Further Delay.
The present arrangement involves
further delay. Messages have to
come back from Tsarskoye-Selo after
being deciphered.
Those relating to the land opera
tions go to the war ministry and those
referring to the sea movements are
are respectively entrusted to give them
out. 5e.--,-

istry at noon, but the official in charge
had taken a train to Tsarskoye-Selo to
report to the emperor and consequence
ly the dispatch did not reach the pub

General Sassulitch's force is resting
at Feng-huang-cheng. No renewal Of
the attack has been made. It is be-

There is a strong Russian position
back Of Feng-huang-cheng on a line

where troops are concentrating and it

To force the pass beyond Feng-huang-

General Sassulitch only had forty
guns altogether and sixteen Of these
left Antung early Sunday morning and
reached Feng-huang-chen safely.
The second and third batteries Of the
Sixth brigade lost all but two guns,
namely twenty-five. Eight machine
