The Senate passed the Notifications
appropriation bill yesterday after a three
hours discussion of the amendment au-
thorizing the purchase of an experiment

was restored, and the sum increased from
5000, 900 as fixed by the House, to
1926, 100.

scandals ia threatening to result badly
for number of them. The committee
having charge of the inquiry has decided
that the report of the Postofice Depart
ment shows that only ffty-iour members
of the House can be charged with obtain
ing from the department excessive clerk
and rent hire allowances. Some left
little room for doubt that they knew the
law was being violated, and therefore
we're implicated in its violation. The
fifty-four in question include some of the
leading members of the House. Eight
are democrats, the others are republicans,
and among the chief offenders are mem
toned Hemenway, chairman of the
committee on appropriations; Dick, of

as prominent.

THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST.

London, March 16.-According to a
dispatch received this morning, the
general staff of the japanese army has
not yet left Japan. This would tend to
confirm the dispatch sent from ChefoO
yesterday, to the effect that the move
-ments in Korea, thus far, have been but a
blind to cover the proposed movements
on the Liao-Tung peninsula, and that
the main affair on Korean soil had not
yet been inaugurated.
st. Petersburg, March 16-The
Journal today prints most interesting
article, comparing the opposing forces
of Russia and Japan in the far East
Russia, says the paper, has the SUI
periority in land armament, by seventy
six cannon, but she is inferior in war
ships. Without counting the squadron
of Admiral Wirenius the superiority of
the japanese is represented by seven
teen ships, and 81 guns. Continuing,
the paper says; '1his is largely COM
pensated for by the artillery in
the Russian forts, the valor of the
Russian sailors, and the necessity
for the japanese to set apart a number
of warsbips to escort transports to guard
communications and to guarantee food
supply for the troops in Korea. There
is no doubt as to the issue of naval
war being the destruction of the Japan
csc feet. 1t is only question of time.
The Baltic squadron will make its ap-
pearance in eastern waters in few
months under the most brilliant of Rus
sian admirals. The japanese will not
run the risk of a combat on the high
seas, when the Russian feet is reinforced
by such battleships as the Nicholas |,
Alexander II, Alexander III, the Sissoi,
the Vetiki and the Orel. In any case
the issue of fight on equal terms will
be fatal to our adversary who has not
sufficiently understood the valor of the
nation it had defed." The article
was, to all appearances, written to calm
public opinion, which is beginning to
be one of fear that serious injury has
been inflicted on Russia's feet.

Senator Martin had no hesitation in

fate of the bill. He said
II have never read the Machen bill
and am not at all familiar with its pro-
visions. During the session Of the

the Record was simply a repository of
