BRITISH DISAPPOINTED.
London Newspapers Swell the cho-
rus of Indignation.

London. Feb. "a strong chord Of
indignation is sounded by the London
daily newspapers this morning over the
semi-Official statement relative to the
decision of the North sea commission.
giving to Russia the victory. but il is
still hoped that the publication Of the
full text of the commissions report
may modify the impression produced
by the preliminary version, which is
one Of intense disappointment.
The Daily Mail goes so far as to de
clare it has dealt a death blow to ar
bitTatiOn. Some of the neWspap ers
blame the government strongly for
ever conserving to subject suCh a mat
ter to arbitra ton, while some of the

avoided var with Russia. No question
is raised that the decision must be
respected. and Great Britain's share of
the heavy costs viii be cheerfully paid,
but il is considered that the decision
leaves the question Of a neutraTs right
on the sea in a deplOrably unsatisfac-
tory state. and creates a dangerous
precedent.
The Morning Post says: "A new
dogma of international law is thus es-
tablished. under which the commander
of a belIigerent fleet may attack and
destroy neutral unarmed vessels with
out any other plea than that he con-
ceived his ships might be lii danger.
This doctrine is so mOnstrous and in
conceivable that we can Onfy yet hope
the official report will give a different
reading"

passage of the third Russian Pacific
squadron had been taken. Premier

RUM0RS WERE
PURE FICTION
Burrows Was Not Outvoted in Senate
Committee.
QUORUM WAS NOT PRESENT
SUBCOMMITTEE WILL LIKELY
VISIT UTAH.
Especial to The Herald)


NAI ASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-DurinE the
wv past few days reports have been
current that last Saturday S
meeting of the privileges and elections
committee was not as harmonious as
printed accounts of the proceedings
would indicate. RumOTs have been in
circulation that at the meeting Chair
man Burrows was twice overruled by
a vote of six to one against PROPOSE
lions submitted by him for cOnsidera-
ton. one Of these is said TO have been
a proposition to reopen the case and
10 allow JOhn G.. Carlisle of counsel
for prOtestants to file a brief against
SmOOt in addition TO that filed by At
torney Tayler- Another proposition by
Burrows, said to have no support ex-
cepting his own vote, was motion to
postpone the report in the Smoot case.
Pure Fiction.
In response to an inquiry as TO the
correctness Of these rumors and re-
ports. a member of the committee who
attended Saturdays meeting said to-
day: These reports are pure fiction.
There WAS no quorum of the commit
tee present al Saturdays meeting The
members of the committee who attend
ed were Burrows. Pettus, Hopkins Dill
bingham and Overman. In addition to
these. McCOmaS came in for few
minutes before the meeting ended. No
Ila
either to postpone the report or reopen
the case. In fact. no vote would be
needed on the last-named proposition,
for the case has not been closed and
consequently could not be reopened.
There was some informal discussion as
10 making a report on the case and
several senators expressed the opinion
that the report should be made at once
but did not indicate what the report
should be or whether il should be for
or against Smoot. There was some talk
also in reference to the desire of Mr..
Carlisle to file a brief. but there was
nothing definite decided in reference
10 it. In fact, the entire proceedings
could be summed up in the statement
that the committee did nothing"
PoIygamy Not Charged.
The member of the committee from
whom this information was obtained
was also questioned concerning the re-
port that Chairman Burrows has re-
ceived an offer of testimony from A. L.
Morris which would faSten the crime OF
pOlygamy on SmOOt, and said in re-
Spouse that so far as the members of
the committee were informed no charge
of pOlygamy against Smoot personally
had been given credit. There is much
speculation to the future procedure
of the committee in dealing with the
SmoOt case. and the general consensus
OF opinion seems TO be that a sub COM
mittee viii visit Utah during the COM
ing summer for the purpose of obtain
ing further testimony

QUESTIONS FOR
Mr.. HITCHCOCK
Text of Two Resolutions Introduced
in the House.
OIL LEASE STILL B0THERS
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN
WORDS.

IkIASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-Another
wv chapter in the Usage oil lease
incident developed today when
Representative Stevens of Texas intro
duced two resolutions in the house adj
dressing inquiries to the secretary of
the interior regarding the Foster lease
OF the oil and gas lands belonging TO
the Usage Indians. One resolution
calls on the secretary to furnish the
Rouse with a copy of the Foster lease
and of all sub-leases under that parent
lease, giving the dates of the approval
or rejection and all correspondence on
the subject. The other resolution asks
under what act of congress the Foster
lease was made, and under what au-
thOrity of law the sub-leases were ap-
proved. The secretary is asked
whether he did not ratify the suitcase
10 the Alameda company and whether
this was not the first suitcase so rati-
fed, and whether he had not previous
ly refused to ratify sub-leases.
Relative in the Company.
The resolution asks not only for the
cate of the ratification of the Alameda
suitcase, but also calls for a list of
the officers. directors and stockholders
OF the Almeda company. with informa-
ton as to whether any of these persons
are personally known or in any way
related to him (the secretary and if
related. -
The resolution directs the secretary
70 say whether he did or not on Feb.
Is last, in a letter addressed to the
chairman of the committee on Indian
affairs, write that there is no neces-
sity for the proposed legislation in or
der to protect the existing rights of
the parties VINO hold under the said
Foster lease and it is not deemed ad-
Visable, nor, indeed, would it Be just.
&c renew and extend the said lease for
period of ten years or any other pc
rod, without the knowledge and con-
sent of the Indians"
Pointed Question.
The resolution continues:
And if you did write this letter
please state to this house what infor-
nation you have since received that
has caused you TO recommend the
adoption OF the senate amendment to
the Indian appropriation bill extending
said lease for ten years on $4,000 acres
OF said Usage Indian lands without first
securing the consent of said Indians
The statement recently given out by
Secretary Hitchcock is cited in which
he said that the original Foster lease
was an unheard of monopoly and moth
ing short of a public scandal" and the
resolution asks the secretary if he was
thus correctly quoted and if so to state
why he now recommends extension of
the lease.
