NEWCHWANG. March 25.-The Lao

shipping agents have received notices
of the departure of vessels from ports

Newehwang
The Russian military authorities have
issued an order regulating shipping at

incoming vessels must anchor five and
a half miles below the fort and can
proceed into the harbor between the
hours of 6 a. m. and D. m. after un-
dergoing an examination Of papers and
cargo. The merchants here are pro-
testing against the order in the hope
that ships will be admitted to anchor
within two miles of the foreign settle
ment before submitting to an examina-
tion by the authorities. Although fur
ther compromising the rights of neu-
trails, the surveillance Of all ships pass
ing by the Notifications is considered
by the authorities to be a necessary

CALLS A WELL
KNOWN TEACHER

Miss L. w. Cotton, a teacher at the
Sherman Preparatory School, died
Wednesday at her home, 1855 Green
street, after an illness lasting but a
few hours. On Wednesday, the day
before her death, Miss Cotton taught

Her death comes as a sad shock to
both pupils and fellow teachers, with
whom she was extremely popular.
Miss Hurton. principal of the Sher-
man School, said yesterday after
noon:
Miss Cotton has been a teacher in
my school for over twelve years and
during that time she has never once
been harsh to a child. She was dear
ly beloved by all that knew her and
she seemed only to live in order to do
good.
ON Wednesday afternoon Miss Col
ton and myself were together and I
never saw her in better health
Late Wednesday afternoon Miss
Cotton was stricken with an attack of

FIGHTS REPEAL
OF LAND LAWS
Senator Hansbrough Says
Movement Is Backed by
Holders of Large Tracts

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
HansbroJgh charged In the Senate to-
day that the movement to secure the
repeal of the desert land law, the tim
Der and stone law and the commuta-
ton clause of the homestead act was
mainly of holders of lands bought in
large tracts from railroad companies,
with desire thereby to increase the
demand for their property. Senator
Dubois intimated that the pressure for
repeal was due to large holdings of
forest lien lands by the railroads.
Senator Gibson yesterday advocated
repeating the laws in question. Sena-
tors Hansbrough and Dubois contend
ed that the repeal would be unwise.
Senator Newlands favored modifica-
tions of the law.
Monopoly Of land, asserted New
lands, had been the cause of most of
the series of European wars. He said
concentration of land in California had
interfered with the proper develop
ment of the State.
Dubois said that charges of fraud
in the public land States was a sweep
ing indictment of the administration
of the land laws and that he, for one,
resented them. He never had known
a case of fraud under the operation
of the desert land law in Idaho and in
view of the fact that it was the only
law under which the public land States
could be settled he thought it's repeal
would be a calamity. He declared that
the time for large holdings of lands
had passed away and said the only
legitimate complaint to be made
against the execution. of the land laws
at present was in connection with the
use of forest lien scrip, most of which,
he said. was held by railroad COM
panies.
The District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill was taken up and discussion
followed on the provision reducing
telephone rates. The service given by
the local telephone company was con-
demned. The Senate amendment fix
ing the rate on individual telephones
at $50 year, as against $50 named by
the House. was agreed to.
Senator Hoar offered and the Senate
adopted the following resolution:
THAT the Committee on Rules be
directed to consider the report
whether any amendment be desirable
in the Senate rules relating to i'm
peachments, and reply whether the
rules may properly and lawfully pro-
vide for taking testimony in such cases
by committee in accordance with the
practice of the English House of Lords
in such cases. questions of admission
of material testimony and the final
argument being reserved for the full
Senate
Without completing the District of
Columbia bill the Senate passed a
large number of private pension bills
and after brief executive session ad-
journed.
During the day former Vice Presi-
dent Morton appeared on the floor of

House Adopts the Appropriation
Measure After a Long Debate.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The
House to-day passed the postoffice ap-
preparation bill after a prolonged de-
bate on the paragraph affecting rural
letter carriers which yesterday was
stricken out, but which to-day was
inserted with enthusiasm under spe-
cial order of the Committee on Rules.
Every amendment and substitute Of
fered to this paragraph was voted
down. Moon made an unsuccessful
attempt to recommit the bill with in
structions to strike out the appro-
priations for special facilities over
trunk lines south of Washington and
west of Kansas City.
The bill has been under discussion
since March Z. At times members
vigorously assailed the Postoff1ce De-
partment and General Bristow and
demands were made for an investiga-
ton into the ntire postal service but
Chairman Overstreet, who has borne
the brunt of the attacks, stood as a
barrier to such action.

was left the decision Of the question
whether or not the Helena. or some
other United States naval vessel is, to
be kept at Newchwang, as. requested
by American interests there.
Later in the day the Navy Depart
ment was informed by Admiral cooper
that he had decided that the condi-
tions are not such as to warrant
him in detaining the Helena at
Newchwang. If the town is attacked
by the Japanese navy the Helena
would be in the line of fire. and no
neutral ship has a right there II she
can get away. The Navy Department
has cabled him to withdraw the ship,
and she probably will leave

for Manila, within the present week

Residents of This City Are to Be Pro-

The Board of Health is actively en-
gagged in an effort to give the resi-
dents of the city pure milk. All of
the inspectors Of the food department,
acting under the orders of Health Of
ficer Ragan, are securing samples
from all the dairies, groceries and
other places where the lacteal fluid is
for sale and submitting them to DR..
Bottle, the City Chemist, who is max
ing chemical analysis.
The present standard for butter fat
is 800 and wherever the sample sub
rnitted falls below the standard Deputy
Health officer Levy orders the arrest
of the seller or sends for him and is
sues a warning not to violate the law.
This work has had excellent results.
The people are now getting good milk
and the Board of Health intends to
showNat the end of the fiscal year that
the mortality among infants has been
decreased. The board has recon-
mended that the standard be raised
to $50 and the milkmen of this city
are opposed to this action.
The board is taking uD the honey
question and Professor Bottle has
foUod glucose in the samples sub
mitted. AS this is against the
law the manufacturers will be prose-
cuted. Major Robinson of the food
department is securing samples of jel-
lies and jams and this will also be
tested. DR.. Ward states that it is the
intention of the present board to fol-
low the pure food crusade and he an
