HAVE NJ LOVE
FOR CONGRESS
Railroad Men Hope 1t Will
Adjourn and Never Re-
turn to the Capital
GREAT LOBBY GATHERS
Small Army of Corporation
Attorneys to Direct Battle
Against the President
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE rail-
road people of this country would hold
up their hands in thankfulness to
heaven if Congress should adjourn to-
night and never come back again"
was the remark made to-day by one
of the railway attorneys now here to
fight railway legislation of any kind.
This precisely illustrates the attitude
of the railroad presidents and attor-
neys who have been in Westinghouse for
the last few days. They are here in
droves and are united against any in
creased power for the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which the Presi-
dent seems determined to have.
The most interesting feature to-day
of the railroad rate situation, as de-
veloped between President Roosevelt
and the great railroad presidents, was
the appearance of James j. Hill, presi-
dent of the Great Northern Railway
and chief factor in the Northern Sc
curities Company, at the White House.
1t was the first time Hill had been
in any conference with the President
since the Northern Securities suit was
begun. He went to the White House
by appointment, accepted Mr.. Roose-
welt s lnVlIdtlOn TO remain TO luncheOn
and spent an hour and a half in con-
versation. Rate legislation was dis
cussed and Hill is understood to have
reiterated his views expressed in The
Call to-day about the delicate busi-
ness situation and the iniquity of re-
bates. 1t is further understood that
President Roosevelt was unable to
convince him of the wisdom of in
creasing the powers of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to the extent
of permitting 1t to establish railroad
rates.
The most important progress toward
the passing of rate bill has been
made in the House. Colonel Hepburn,
chairman of the House Interstate
Commerce Committee. was an i'm
portant caller upon the President. Sec
retary Taft. who has become a factor
in the rate problem, joined the con-
ference. Colonel Hepburn announced
later that he has prepared a rate bill
which would be considered at a con-
ference next week with the President,
Secretary Taft, Attorney General
Moody and members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Japanese Charge Masked
Battery and Regiment Is
Almost Annihilated.

HUANSHAN, Monday, Jan. 9.-The
Japanese to-day bombarded Liaofantun
and Liutzyatun, and also Lone Tree
and Novgorod hills, which they are ex-
tremely anxious to capture.
TASUDYAPU (undated) ALI day of
January the Japanese bombarded the
Russian positions to the right and left
of the railroad with unaccustomed
vigor.
On January 10, at o'clock in the
morning Japanese regiment advanced
in the face of a furious fire from bat
teries and rifles and drove back the
Russian outposts. The latter drew on
the Japanese TO a masked battery and
later allowed them to come on sudden
ly, when the Russians opened a muir
derous fire. The infantry regiment was
almost completely annihilated and the
remainder fled In disorder, leaving
heaps of dead and wounded on the field.
The Russians pressed the pursuit and
took the Japanese positions on January
10 at noon.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.

For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave US our
daily dose of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy
was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a large
quantity had to be taken to get any
effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form, so that single grain
Is far more effective than a tablespoon
full of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and expert
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold in
drug stores under the name of Stuarts
Calcium Waters. They are small cho-
colate coated pellets and contain the
active medicinal principle of sulphur in
highly concentrated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value Of
this form Of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health;
sulphur acts directly on the liver, and
excretory organs and purifies and en-
riches the blood by the prompt elimina-
ton of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur were often worse than
the disease, and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
of ,l,1l,s Sc fo1,
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for liy-
er and kidney troubles and cure consti-
patton and purify the. blood in a way
that often surprises patient and physi-
clan alike.
DR.. R. M. wilkins while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was su-
perior to any other form. He saws:
For liver, kidney and blood troubles.
especially when resulting from consti-
patton or malaria / have been sur-
prised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, have re-
peatedly seen them dry up and disan-
pear in four or five days, leaving the
skin clear and smooth. Although Stu
arts Calcium Waters Is proprietary
article. and sold by druggists. and for
that reason tabooed by many physi-
clans, yet | know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and
kidney troubles and especially in all
forms of skin disease as this remedy"
At any rate people who are tired of
pills, cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers, will find in Stuart's CAL
cium Waters. a far safer, more pala-
table and effective preparation.

CAPTURED RIFLES USELESS.

CHEFU, Jan. 14.-Midshipman Kliso-
rich, the Russian officer who COM
manded launch which reached here
from Port Arthur on January 8, in
commenting to-day upon General
Nogis report of January IL, giving de-
tails of the Russian property which
had been transferred to the japanese
after the surrender of the fortress, said
that the 2.266,S00 rounds of rifle am
munition, mentioned as among the
booty, were unloaded shells, relics of
the Chinese occupation of Port Arthur
and not fitted for use in Russian rifles.
The $3.50 large shells mentioned by
General Nogi, the midshipman said,
were also Chinese and were of no use
to the Russian artillery. Midshipman
Klisorich further says that the locks
Of the 35,252 rifles turned over to the
Japanese were broken before the for
tress capitulated.
Japanese who visited Port Arthur on
January 10 say that the Russian
wounded were in terrible state, ow-
ing to neglect, which could not be
avoided, when the Japanese entered
Port Arthur. Everything possible, they
say, is now being done for their relief.

CZAR PRAISES GARRISON.
Imperial Rescript Lauds the Defenders
of Port Arthur.

Imperial Rescript Lauds the Defenders
of Port Arthur.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 14.-Em-
lowing rescript to the army and navy:
Port Arthur has passed into the
hands of the enemy. During eleven
months the fight had been going on in
it's noble defenders had been cut off
from the rest of the world. Without
any positive assurance of relief they
continued to fight and did everything
in their power to check the progress
of the enemy. sparing neither life nor
hearts blood to uphold the honor of the
Russian people.
Russia, with pride and admiration,
followed each move in the contest. The
whole world was astounded at their
gallantry, but daily their ranks were
thinned, their power of resistance di-
minished, and under repeated attacks
by the enemy they were forced to give
way.
Peace, honor and undying memory
will be the portion of you Russians
who have fallen in the defense Of Port
Arthur. Far from home you have laid
your bodies upon alien sofia sacrifice
to the dictates to your honor and the
demands of your Emperor.
Peace and honor be your portion.
Always will you be so held in our
hearts and memory.
Honor to the living! May God re-
store you to health and strength and
give you patience to face this disaster
with which you are confronted.
My gallant troops and sailors, do not
let this sorrow dismay you. Our enemy
is strong and daring. This fight against
him occurs 1000 miles from our home;
but Russia is powerful. In the thousand
years of its existence there have been
still heavier trials, worse and more
threatening dangers. but Russia ever
arose from trial with renewed force
and strength. Do not let your souls be
troubled by lack of success and heavy
losses. Russian strength grows with
adversely.
With all Russia, join in the belief
that the time is coming when God will
give strength to our glorious army and
navy to arise and break the forces Of
the enemy. NICHOLAS"
New Years reviews by the various
newspapers admit frankly that the
Japanese have had the better Of the
war so far but the whole tone Of the
press is summed UP in the following
statement in the Russ:
"They have done well, but not well
enough. They have intrenched them
selves in Korea as though they were at
home, have captured Port Arthur and
made conquest of most of Southern
Manchuria, but are face to face with
a Russian army Of equal numbers, and
they are checked. The new year will
show the Russian flag raised again
along the borders Of the warm water. "
On the occasion of the Russian New
Year Emperor Nicholas bestowed upon
Grand Duke Sergius portrait of Alex
ander III, to be worn on his breast
with the ribbon Of the Order of st. An
drew.
Prince John Obolensky, the Governor
General of Finland. was given the
Alexander -Newsky order, set with bril-
liants.

appointed Secretary Of State, and re-
tains his present post.

RAID COSTS CossACKs DEARLY.
More Than Three Hundred Lost In
Attack on Newchwang.


TOXIC, Jan. 4.-The Japanese cas-
ualties in the fighting with the Cos
sack raiders at the old town of New
chwang, Niuchiatun and other places
southwest of Liaoyang last Wednes-
day were one man killed and fifteen
wounded. The Russian losses were
more than 300. The Japanese report
that the supplies Of war munitions

GENERAL KUROKTS HEAD
QUARTERS, Jan. IA body of Rus
sian cavalry made raid south this
week for the purpose of harassing
the Japanese lines of communication.
They occupied the old town of New
chwang, whose population is entirely
Chinese. On Thursday, Japanese in
fantry attacked the Russians and
drove them from the town. They left
fifty dead. One Japanese was killed.
The raiders, who crossed the Lao
River into neutral territory, are sup
posed to have numbered about 5000
men. There was some interruption of
railroad communication with the south

were received by a guard of fifty police
and several officers and gendarmes.
The general looked we'll and walked
with a stately step.
Preceded by a few police officers
and followed by his retinue, General
Stoessel slowly wended his way up the
hill to a prettily situated bungalow on
Inasa Hill, where he will be quartered.
Dozens of Russian officers, finding that
their late chief was arrived, ran up
from all directions and saluted in re-
spectful silence. The party then en-
tered the house.
The closing act Of the drama caused
a feeling of sadness which was not
dispelled by the glorious weather,

ton accorded to the Russians by the

declined to give any expression or
opinion.
In diplomatic quarters the circular is
regarded as move to forestall COM
plants Of Russian transgressions or
Chinese territory, coming from Japan,
but not as indicating any Immediate or
serious action on Russia's part.
AT the Chinese Legation it was as
serted that China had maintained
neutrality such as few European pow
ers could have kept in the face d the
most trying circumstances.
IF China violated the neutrality,
it was asked what have Germany and
France done? Why select China for
such formal charge TO the powers
1t is not question of preference upon
the part of the Chinese populace, for
| assure you that a great mass or the
Chinese do not favor the japanese any
more than they do the Russians.

CITY OF MARYSVILLE
FILES OSS-COMPLAINT
Seeks to Recover Damages From Con-
tracting Firm That Brought Suit
Against the MuniciDality.

MARYSvILLE, Jan. 14.-The most
important case heard here in several
years closed this afternoon after a
two weeks trial before Judge E. p.
Mcdaniel in the Superior Court. The
action was brought by the City Street
improvement Company against the
city of Marysyille to recover, $4,000
balance due on the sanitary sewer sys-
TEN built by the plaintiff last year. In
a cross-complaint the city asked dam
ages and endorsement for rebuilding
the sewer, the total amount being s50,-
600. The ecross-complaint was amend
ed to-day by increasing the amount
to $60,977 62, which almost equals the
contract arice of the sewer. Expert
testimony showed the very faulty con-
struction of the sewer. The plaintiff
apparently depends upon the point
that the work was accepted and ap-
proved by Engineer Marsden Manson
and the inspectors employed by the
city. The testimony was completed to-
day and arguments will be heard next
Friday.

SO Says Pope in Letter Concerning
People of Central and South
America.

WILLEMSTADT, Jan. 14.-Advices
received here show that the Arch
bishop of Caracas, the Most Rev. G.
B. Castro, has learned from the Vat
lean that the Pope approved of the
Archbishop's suggestion and is about
to issue a most important encyclical
letter addressed to the episcopacy,
clergy and people of Latin America.
The Pontiff recognizes the unhappy
condition of the Central and South
American republics and attributes it
to civil and internal discord. The let
ter condemns what South Americans
call the right of rebellion" as being
the origin of all evils, urges peace and
the observance of Christian principles.
