Washington, March 1.-THE Repub-
lican leaders in the house have hastily
arranged plan for an Investigation of
the connection Of members of that
body with the postofice department.
This investigation, if the plan sue.
ceeds, is to. be conducted by a. special
committee to be appointed by the
speaker. 1t will have authority to in
quire into the details Of every repre-
sentation which has been made to the

the house Of representatives. Each
member whose case is takeniup by
the committee will be given an ioppor-
tunityr to be. heard. i II; ~: 9
In this way it is believed that the
injustice which members feel has
been done them by the publication Of
the report from the department may
be remedied.
The Indignation at the publication of
the report has by NO means siibsided
and the general belief is that had q
vote been taken during the session

have prevailed., This plan has not
been abandoned by, the minority and
when the Republican proposition is
presented an effort will be made; to

Harrisburg, Pa, March 11.-Four
unidentified men were burned to. death
in a box car containing gasoline which
caught fire at Branch Intersection, ten

men were carried, contained five bar
rels of gasoline and other lighting
materials to be used for night work.
The men were nearly all asleep as the
train was pulling into Branch Inter
section One of the men struck a
match to light his pipe while near one
of the gasoline barrels. A spark must
have landed On the barrel, for in an
instant the interior of the, car was a
fiery furnace. The men, awakened by
the intense, heat, could not at once
realize their situation. There was a
scramble to get out, but four were
unsuccessful They were trampled on
by the others and their bodies were
afterward found burned to a crisp.

MUST NOT IRRITATE. coMBATANTs
SHOULD ABSTAIN FROM ANY Ac-
q TloN OR SPEECH LIKELY TO
a e. GIVE oFFENsE.

Washington, March 11.-President
Roosevelt, after a conference with
Secretary of State Hay, has issued the
following executive order respecting
the observance of the proclamation re-
Gently promulgated declaring the neu-
trality of the United States between
Russia and Japan, the two combatant
nations in the Far Eastern war now
in progress:
"All officials of the government,
civil, military and naval, are hereby
directed not only to observe the presi-
dents proclamation Of neutrality in
the pending war between Russia and
Japan, but also to abstain from either
action or speech which can legitimate
ly cause irritation to either of the COM
batants. The government Of the Unit
ed States represents the people of the
United States not only in the sincerity
with which it is endeavoring to keep
the scales of neutrality exact and even,
but in the sincerity with which 1t de-
plores the breaking out of the present
war and hopes that it will end at the
earliest possible moment and with the
smallest possible loss to those en-
gagged. Such war inevitably in
creases and inflannes the susceptible
ties Of the lcombatahts to anything in
the nature of an 1TR 'F fiAl
injury or Slight by Outsiders. !
Too often combatants make conflicting
claims as to the duties and. obligations
OF neutrals, SO that even when dis
charging these duties and obligations
with scrupulous care tits, difficult to
avoid giving offense to one or the other
party To such unavoidable causes OF
offense, due to the performance OF ma
tional duty, there must not be added
any avoidable causes. 1t is always un-
fortunate to bring old world am
tipathfes and jealousies into Our life,
or by speech or conduct to excite an
ger and resentment toward our nation
in friendly foreign lands: but in a
government employe, whose. official po-
sition makes, him in some sense the
representative of the people, the mis-
chief of such action is greatly in
creased. A strong and self-confident
nation should be particularly careful
not only of the rights, but of the sus-
capabilities of its neighbors; and
nowadays all the nations Of the world
are neighbors one to the other. Couf-
.tesy, moderation and self-restraint
should mark International, mo less
than private, intercourse.
'"All the officials of the government,
civil, military and naval, are expected
so to carry themselves both in act and
in deed to give no cause of just Of
tense to the people of any foreign and
friendly power-and with all mankind
we are now in friendship Itii

a heavy force south of the line be-
tween Liaoyang and Mukden, and they
are also occupying strong positions
