Unearth inc BabyIonian civ

Prof. Robert Francis Harper, of the
University of Chicago, who is director
OF the expedition ofthe oriental explora-
ton fund, now in Assyria, has received
telegram announcing that the work of
excayating the ruins of Bismya, which
was suspended last autumn, is to be re.
sumed. The dispatch was from Victor
Persons, engineer in charge, and stated
that the sender started for Bismya from
Bagdad on March 9 The excavation
was begun in December, 1903, and con-
inued until several mouthSago, when it
was abandoned by order OF the Turkish
government. The permissian to resume
work is the result of DR. Harper's recent
trip to Contantinople Bismya, which
has been identified as the Adab of an
Gent inscriptions, is one of the most
ancient of Babylonion cities, and -four
ished possibly as early as 4, 900 or 5000
B. G. No history Of the place ever has
been discovered, and tradition does not
record the name of lis ruling dynasty.
The site of the excavation is between
the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, 80 miles
southeast of Bagdad 1t is large ruin,
second in size only TO Nippur, Warka,
and possibly Babylon. The length Of
the entire mound under which the ruins
are buried, including small, low hill
200 metres to the northwest, is 1,G95
metres, and the width $40 metres.

Japanese Coyet the Philippines.

Congressman j. A. T. Hull, of Des
Moines, Iowa, chairman of the House
committee on military affairs, in sensa-
tionaI interview, declares that the Jap
anese are even now planning to insist ON
possession of the Philippines as soon as
convenient after the conclusion OF their
war with Russia.
81 know whereof / speak" said Con-
gresham Hull. "There is every reason
to fear that we will be facing just this
situation sooner than any of Us are viii
ling to realize. The japanese feel that
they could handle the Philippines better
than any other nation; they need the
commerce and the business opportunities
of the islands, and they feel certain now
of their ability TO defeat any western ma
ton. They are getting ready to enforce
a policy OF Asia for Asiatics, and that
means expulsion of the United States
Just as soon as they are free in Man
churia. The situation is regarded at
Washington as menacing; not immedi-
ately so, perhaps, but certain to develop
dangerous phases as soon as the present
war is over. The United States will
have to sell the islands or fight to keep
them. If we-haye TO fight it will be at
a tremendous disadvantage owing to our
distance. We will be 10 the same situa-
ton that Russia is, aud the only thing
that will save us from defeat will be to
possess a navy that Japan will not dare
to fight. For this reason | feel that we
cannot afford to stop naval development,
but rather should accept a plan of ex-
pansion based ON keeping greater
force in the Pacific than japan can main

The Russian Loan.

London, March 16.-TEe sensational
reports heard that Russia will not be
able to float new loan, seem TO emanate
from irresponsible sources, to which the
English newspapers have been giving
undue prominence on account OF their
Strong anti. Russian sentiment. The
view which is accepted in impartial cir
Giles is that French inanciers are seizing
the opportunity of Russia's difficulties
to obtain the highest terms possible.
The question now is whether Russia
will consider it more economical to accept
the high French terms or to raise an
internal loan. The stories about Russia s
approaching bankruptcy, which origi-
mated in the columns of the bitterly
anti-Russian London Times, are gener-
ally scotfed at. The theory that the
loan has been delayed owing 20 the de-
mands Of French 6nsnciers for better
terms is the view held at the japanese
legation, where your correspondent
was informed that no belief ia en-
tertained that Russia will have the
slightest difficulty in securing what
money she needs at the present time.
London, March 16.-A news agency
dispatch states that the details of the
Russian loan have been settled. The
loan will bear 5 per cent, interest, and
will be redeemable in eight years. The
fnanciers who have engineered the
floating of the loan, are to receive large
commissions.

THE WAR.

The newspaper correspondents have
been starved out OF Tie Pass, the censor
has removed to Santenpu and the next
objective point OF the Russians seems to
be Hardin.
A Russian journalist wires that with
the japanese occupation of Mukden,
Russis's prestige with the Chinese has
been destroyed.
A correspondent attributes the Rus
sian defeats to the babbling of young
officers, who allow advance information
about important military movements to
leak out, and to want of accurate knowl-
edge of the country in which the armies
are operating.
The reluctance of the French fnan-
ciers to conclude the negotiations for the
Russian loan is attributed to the inau-
ence OF the French government, which is
said to be inspired by the desire to force
Russia to look favorably on peace pro-
posals.

similar TO those which occurred at Kish-
enef. 1t is said that the Russian gov

ties in Russia, is investigating, and, in
fact, planning a campaign of such riots
so as to weaken the revolutionary move
ment, which, though quiet on the sur
face, is growing more and more danger
Gus every day. The message received
by the New York Bund came from
southern Russia by underground methods
to Geneva, Switzerland, whence it was
sent to New York. The dispatch reads
as follows:
"The police in Russia are organizing
and arming the populace for a systematic
series of attacks upon Jews. Bands Of
vagabonds, gendarmes, policemen, spies
and soldiers, allin citizens clothes, mas
querading as Russian workmen and
peasants are being sent out to assault
the Jewish population. At Kishenef po-
lice captains are heading bands Of agita-
tors spreading anti-Semitic literature,
calling upon the christian population to
slaughter"

Fifty-ninth Congress.
Washington, March l6.
SENATE.

The Senate was in open session for
only seven minutes this morning. Dur
ing that time Senator Teller called up
the resolution which he offered yester-
day asking the Secretary of State TO
furnish to the Senate copies of all in
structions sent to Commander Dilling-
hrm or Minister Dawson relating to
Dominican affairs. He asked whether
the chairman Of the foreign relations
committee was ready to have it con
sidered.
Senator Cullom suggested that it go
over day. In response to the sugges-
ton from Senator Teller, that the infor-
nation called for should be available to
the Senate before the treaty was acted
upon, Mr. Cullom said that the Colorado
Senator would have an opportunity 10
secure action Oh hisresolution tomorrow.
The resolution accordingly went over
with the understanding that it should be
taken up and disposed of at tomorrow's
session.
The Senate then closed the doors for
the consideration of the Santo Domingo
treaty.
So far as todsy's prospects at this
session are concerned the Senate might
as well adjourn now. 1t is understood,
however, that the President has request
ed that the Senators remain for at least
another day so that he may have an op-
portunity to consider several nominations
which he wishes to send in before adj
journment. Accordingly the Senate will
