WAR NEW S IS SCARCE.
Newspaper Correspondents Not Permit
ted to Report Movements Of Troops.

LONDON, April S.-The brief dis
patches from the seat of war in the
far east appearing in the London
newspapers during the last few days
have all been of a curiously stereO-
typed character indicating that an ac-
tive censorship is prevailing there.
This applies particularly to points
under the Japanese control, but from
the Russian side also it is evident tn at
care is being exercised to prevent news
of operations leaking out. General
Kuropatkin's army, according to Ru>
sian advices, is strung out along lh>:
road between Anju and Wiju, its at:'
vance being impeded by bad roads,
which make it difficult to push for
ward supplies. which are dragged by
coolies, requiring eight days march
from Chonju to the Yalu. For 70
miles the river is 500 fathoms wide and
at Yongampho it is ice.laden and
barred by islands whence the Rus
SLAMS can harass the Japanese ad-
vance.
A correspondent of the Times at
Wei Hal Wei, cabling under yester-
days date, says: The result of the
weeks cruise leads me to believe that
the Japanese fleet is engaged in COW
ering arrangements for new landing
of the troops recently modified. A
close blocka ade of Port Arthur is not
maintained, presumably because OF
information regarding the state OF the
channel.
VANCOUVER, B. c., April 8.-Japan
is seeking Canadian South African
veterans for service in the war with
Russia. Secret service agents are ap'
preaching men in various towns,
claiming authority from the japanese
government to offer positions to Can
adams in the Japanese army. Those
who have served in South Africa are
preferred, but any stalwart man, it is
said, will be accepted.

ENGINEER and Fireman to BE Given
Locomotive From Which They
Will Not BE Changed.

There is strong probability OF an
early change in the method of hand
ling locomotives on the Oregon Rail-
road & Navigation Company lines
For some time the practice has been
that known as first-in-first-out for the
powerful engines that move trains OF
all classes over the road at schedule
speed. By this method the crews are
changed from one engine to another,
and the engineer who takes out To-
connective on a run today may not be
at the same throttle again for month.
says the Portland Telegram.
Under the old method each engine
crew was assigned to particular To-
connective, and no other crew would be
placed on that engine unless changes
were made or sickness caused one or
another Of the crew to be off duty.
When the new idea now in vogue was
suggested the plan was opposed al
most without exception by enginemen,
but officials Of the roads that adopted
the idea were obdurate. There was
some excuse for their attitude in that
the requisite power to move traffic Of
fered was not available, and the pur-
pose was to get more service out of
the locomotives. In this the result
was obtained at first, but as time went
on the expense for repairs and loss of
time occasioned by engines going into
shops for overhauling w as increased,
it is said, until the management has
had under consideration reverting to
the old way of doing things.
There is a natural tendency on the
part Of enginenen who have absolute
control Of one engine to exercise care
full supervision over the machinery and
prevent the many little defects that
easily develop and gradually assume
more serious proportions. The old saw
about "a stitch in time" might be par

Two more days and the rush at the

Postmaster Proudfoot this morning.
For the past week or more the clerks
at the postoffice have been working
overtime in order to handle the i'm
mense amount of business which has
poured in from almost every quarter
of the globe. Mail has been received
in Walla Walia from nearly every
country in the world.
At present no statement Of the
weight of the mail can be obtained,
but at the end of the month it Will be
known. The receipts from the sale of
stamps have been very large, and al
ready have exceeded the record of any
former month in the history of the

A week yet remains in which to add
to the big total already obtained, and
during this week the clerks will be
busy, also, in handling the Christmas
packages which usually come late.

BISHOP INVOLVED IN SCANDAL.
Episcopal Prelate Accused Of Disgrace
ing a Rector to Please a Woman.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The Rt. Rev.
~Ethelbert Talbot. S. T. D., LII. D.,
bishop of Central Pennsylvania and
one of the most distinguished of Amer
lean churchmen, is the central figure
in what promises to be the greatest
ecclesiastical trial of many decades
Two years ago the country. was
startled by charges of conspiracy
brought against Bishop Talbot by an
unfrocked rector of his diocese
This accuser was the Rev. Ingram
N. w Irvine, who had been forced from
the pulpit of ST. Pauls church at
Huntington, Pa, by his bishop, and
who told an amusing story that lead
ing churchmen refused to credit.
The story was, in brief. that in I'M
frocking Irvine and expelling him in
ignominy from the ministry, Bishop
Talbot had aimed to please a woman
and to crafty her spite.
Charge Was Smothered.
This astonishing charge was made
in the triennial general convention of
the Protestant Episcopal church held
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-12-27

at San Francisco. 1t was speedily
smothered.
Irvine was almost friendless. while
Bishop Talbot was mighty in influence
and rich in friends The upshot of the
whole matter was the dismissal OF
Iryine's presentment against Bishop
Talbot. after brief consideration by
committee of inquiry.
Then, to all appearances. Irvine, the
unfrocked rector. the dishonored priest,
dropped out of sight But as the Sc
ouel shows, powerful friends were
even then rallying TO his aid.
Two weeks ago their silent, tireless
work of months bore fruit in second
presentment against Bishop Talbot.
Very Different Document.
This presentment is very different
document from the predecessor. 1t is
drawn by Chancellor Henry Budd of
the diocese OF Pennsylvania, and its
seven signers are prominent ecclesias-
tics and laymen of Philadelphia and
New York.
1t not only charges Bishop Talbot
with conspiracy with a woman to ruin
Irvine, but it fatty accuses him of dis
honorable use Of the names of fellow
bishops. The presence of Lawyer
Stetson on. this committee is especial
~ significant, because of his close af-
filiation with J. Pierpont Morgan. Mr..
Morgan was lay delegate to the gen.
eral convention of the Episcopal church
two years ago in San Francisco, where
Irvine ventured his first charge against
his principal foe. 49,.
1t was noticed that Mr.. Morgan was
not one of the delegates who sneered
at the charge. When Mr.. Morgan left
San Francisco at the close of that con-
vention he carried with him a complete
record Of the case.

Several hundred horses will soon be

The regiments now departing for the

tho officers in the local quartermast-

taking no horses with them. This,

and the soldiers enroute to the i'm
nortant posts in Uncle Sans new pos
sessions.
While the additional horses soon to
