Mir. Post of Post Check
 EndedVOr After It
GOES TO SUPREME COURT
He Wants a Restraining Order Co Pre- vent the New York Senator From Sitting in the Senate and at the Head of an Express Company.

New York, Jan. 13.-At a meeting of the Postal Progress league at Cooper Union tonight Chairman Post of Bat lie Creek. Mich. said he had prepar- ed papers and would ask the supreme court of the United States for a re- straining order to prevent Senator Thomas c. Platt from taking his seat
 He said he would take thiS action on the ground that Platt subverts the in terests Of the people he has sworn to represent in the interests of a corpora tion he really represents. The affair relates to the parcels post.
 MT. Post made the announcement in q speech entitled "Our Brand Boy" After having referred to the postal deficit and to the fact that the people of the country pay annually to the railroads $40.OO0.0 900. Mr. Post said. Senator T. c. Platt of New York is president of the United States Express company. The word was passed around among other senators that no definite action should be taken on tine Post check money bill. Mir. Platt was a approached by my representatives to know his attitude on the question and he clearly defined that he was opposed to the measure because it was contra ry to the interests of the express com
 
 taken the oath of office to represent to the best of his ability the people of New York he ignores their interests or the interests of the public where those interests conflict with his own company and would directly affect his own earnings. In still further words. he is drawing two salaries, one from the express company and the other from the people.
 ''We met with strong opposition from a New York state man in a DO sitiOn to lay some heavy blocks in front of the wheels of progress. Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer of the United States
 'I have the papers already prepared and I will ask the supreme court at Washington for restraining order to prevent Senator Thomas c. PIatt Of New York from occupying his seat in the United States senate on the ground that he does not fuIhIl his duties ac- cording to his oath of office, that he subverts the interests of the people whom he had sworn to represent. to the interests of a corporation which he really represents. It is possible that the supreme court may not grant this restraining order. We shall make an urgent effort for it, however. The laws should intervene to prevent any man who prostitutes the mantle of 9 Unit ed States senator from accepting this high position of trust from the hands of the people,"
 After the meeting closed. in answer to questions, MT Post said that his lawyers, D. F. Dawson and Nathan Wilson, would present the matter against Senator PIatt to the United States supreme court next week. but would not specify the day.

THE GENTLEMEN SECEDE
The National Live Stock Association
 Split in Two.

1 Denver Jan. 13.-The National Live ! stock association was rent in twain
 today by the adoption of a new consti- i tuition which admits packers to mem l bership, and provides an open door i through which the railroads of the country might at any time become fac 1 tors in the control of the organiza-
 tion.
 The cattIemen, horse and swine { growers, together with some of the affiliated industries, refused to agree to the new constitution and withdrew
 when they considered it's adoption
 probable and this afternoon formed a new organization under the name of
 the American Stock Growers associ- ation, whose aim will be to wield a dominating influence in the interest of cattle growers.
 Roughly speaking, the sheep grow CTS, commission men and stockyards interests remained with the associa- tion and the actual growers of all oth CT animals for the market have gone with the new association. The new organization elected John w. Springer, former president of the National Live stock association, as president and de- cided to hold a convention on May 2 for the election of officers to serve for the year.
 The meeting of the National Live stock association today was fraught with turmoil and disagreements. The committee reported from cattlemen recommending that only live stock men proper be admitted to member ship but permitting all visiting stock men to vote on the plan of reorgan- ization was adopted after much wrangling.
 The committee of reorganization recommended that the following be allowed membership: Cattle, sheep, horse and swine growers, stock feed CTS, breeders of pure-bred, record ass es, stock exchanges, stock yards pack CTS, and such other branches as may be approved by the central commit tee. This was adopted by vote of 255 to 60.
 At a meeting of the National Live stock association held tonight the cen tai committee which is the governing body, was announced. The committee reelected Frank J. Hagenborth. presi- dent and passed a resolution thanking him for his work and expressing cOnfi- dence in him as an official. The other officers will be chosen tomorrow.

Operations by CossacI<s in the Japan
 ese Rear.
 TOkio, Jan. 13.-Bodies of Russian cavalry raiders are actively operating southwest of Liao Yang, evidently de- sirous of harassing the Japanese rail- road communications and interrupting the transportation of 'Nogi's army to reinforce Oyama at Liao Yang.
 Japanese army headquarters In re- porting Thursday said that on We'd nesday morning the Japanese cavalry encountered four companies of Rus sian cavalry southwest of Liao Yang, and after a fierce engagement re- pulsed the Russians with heavy losses. The Russians were subsequently, rein forced by several companies of cav airy and eight guns. The Japanese drew them to Liuerhpas, where they engaged and pursued them.
 Wednesday night a small body of Russian cavalry tore up the railroad tracks between Anshantien and Hei- cheng and Tatchekiao and Yinkow The line was immediately repaired and reopened to traffic.
 Wednesday afternoon two thousand Russian cavalry with guns attacked New Chwang. The Japs were forced to retire temporarily, but being rein forced attacted the Russians and are still pursuing them. The Russians also attacked Niuchiatun, but were rcpulsed.
 report from Oyamas headquarters today says the Russians who have been conducting raiding operations south west of Liao Yang evidently belong to Cen. Mitchenko's Cossacks.

PORT ARTHUR's FALL.
A British Correspondent Thinks it
 Wasn't Necessary.

London. Jan. 13.--The correspondent at Port Arthur of the Times says: ''The total number of soldiers, seamen and civilians at Port Arthur at the be- ginning of the siege was 55,0OO. There are no signs of privation. There was food sufficient for two months and the surrender of the Russian garrison is ineXplicable."
 The Daily Mails Tokio correspond ent gives a story to the effect that all the none-. in Port Arthur was divided among the Russian officers and when this was discovered bitter feeling arose in the army and navy which feeling is largely responsible for the fall of the fortress.

Politicians Laugh at It.

The report that Mr. Thomas Il. Ryan.
Of New York. who holds his legal resi-
dence in this State, is Il probable asplr-
succeed Senator Daniel Is laughed at by
local politicians. In any event the
prophecy is a long distance one. since
Senator Daniels term In the Senate
which began last March, does not expire
until March ;4th, 1n11, SIX years hence
or course, death may cut short the bril-
liant service OF Senator Daniel, as 1t may
the career Of any man, but such u con-,
tingency is not such as to form the
foundation for; senatorial ambitions.
Mr.. Ryan owns a home in Nelson
county, Va, and was elected a delegate
to the. national convention in 1901, but so
far as known in this city, there is no
more foundation for the assertion that
he will be d candidate for the Senate
from Virginia than there was IN the re-
port recently wired, from Washington that
Captain John $. Wise would be can
dillate.

HEAVY RAINS IN THE
JAMES River Valley.
Water Thirteen Feet at Lynch
burg and Nearly Seventeen
at Columbia.

The heavy rains and showers Of the
past two days throughout the state, and
especially In the valley Of the upper
James and in the Rivanna Valley. have
given rise to fears OF serious freshet
in the James at this point. Erroneous
reports as to The height OF the water al
Lynchburg appear to have been chiefly
responsible for tho alarm felt In soma
quarters, 1t having been stated that tho
height OF the water there was nineteeI
feet.
4 Inquiry from various sourcs last night
elected information calculated TO allay
fears of Il serious rise here. At p. NJ,
reliable reports from Lynchburr placed
the height at thirteen feet. and the fall
had then commenced, Indicating that tho
worst Is over there. unless immediate and
long continued rains fall In the next
forty-eIght hours.
At 10 r. M. tho water at Columbia
marked a height of 10 $40 feet and was
slowly rising. It would rake a rise OF
nine or teA feet there to prove serious
in this clty.5and further serious rise was
not anticipated. Seventeen feet Of water
lnt Columbia would indicate rise OF
only six or seven feet at this city, ac-
cording to the statements OF experienced
Waterman. An old rlvcrman stated last
night that the water was higher here In
In fact, no serious rise Is anticipated
Tho heavy rainfall here yesterday isSre-
ported to have been local and not gen..
eral, though showers have fallen during
the past gthirty-sx hours,,in the upper
