JAPANESE BELIEVE BIG ENGAGE.

THE SPRING THAW.
LARGE GUNS CONTINUE At WORK
RUSSIANS KEEP UP CONSTANT

Toxic, Feb. 10.-The impression pre-
walls here that the impending battle
between the armies of Field Marshal
Oyama and General Kuropatkin will
occur before any material thaw takes
place, which would convert the country
into a slushy bog and render the move

HOUSE PASSES EscH-ToWNsENo
BILL FOR REGULATION OF
RAILROAD RATES.
DEMOCRATIC SUBSTITUTE DEFEATED
MEASURE FAVORED BY THE MI.
NORlTY KILLED BY DECl.
SIVE MAJORITY.

Washington, Feb. 10.-By vote OF
1926 yeas to II nays the house has
passed the Esch-Townsend bill extend
ing authority to the interstate COM
merce commission to fix railroad rates.
The Davey bill, the Democratic sub
stitute for railroad rate legislation,
was defeated, ISL yeas to 1856 nays.
Less than twenty-five members were
in their seats when the last days de-
bate on the bill was opened by Mr..
Pierce (Tenn.), who, after announcing
that the president on the subject or
rate legislation, was the greatest lead
er that has lived in the Republican
ranks since the Civil war, said he
would support the Esch-Townsend bill.
He, however, based his support upon
the fact that William J. Bryan and the
Democratic party had declared for
such legislation.
Mr.. De Almond (Mo.), while admit
ting the necessity for legislation, at
tackled the h-Townsend bill as be-
ing an inadequate treatment of the
question. The bill, he said, was sim
gularly lacking in its compliance with
Recommendations of the President.
1t did not reach private car lines and
it was not to be supposed that the
courts would be eager and searching
in the endeavor to find in it something
on that subject which it's authors
themselves could not find
Mr.. Crumpacker (Ind.) said he
would ungrudgingly support the ma.
jority measure, because the power to
regulate railroad companies always
had been recognized, the question now
being simply one of policy.
The closing remarks for the minor.
ity were made by Mr.. Williams
(Miss.), who at the outset congratu- /
lated the house upon the fact that not
only in the matter of rate legislation |
but in several other particulars Presi'
dent Roosevelt, nominated by the Re-
publican party and elected by the peO-
ple,' was beginning to assume dis.
tinctly Democratic attitude. He said
he had begun to hope that the presi-
dent would recommend revision of the
tariff and that the president would see
that it was altogether absurd to keer
10000 more soldiers than were needed

BLOCKADE is EFFECTIVE.
Entrance to VIadivostok Patrolled by
Japanese.

Japanese.
Toxic, Feb. 10.-Entry to VladivOs-
tok from the sea is now limited to
Tsushima straits and Tsugaru straits.
The Soya straits are barred by ice.
Reports received here from Hokkaido
and also from coasting vessels say
Soya straits are not frozen over, but
are filled with foes and bergs, making
navigation practically impossible. To
further increase the difficulty Of reach
ing Vladivostok the Japanese govern
ment announces that the lighthouses
in the vicinity of Tsugaru straits will
not be lighted except occasionally.
The official announcement says this
decision was necessary for strategic
reasons and warns coasting and neu-
trail nayigators that in passing Tsu-
Garu straits they must exercise the
greatest care. The Japanese continue
to patrol Tsushima and Tsugaru straits
and it is believed that the blockade of
Vladivostok is effective. 1t was report
cd from Vladivostok under date OF
Feb. l that the Russian armored cruis-
ers Rossia and Gromoboi had been re-
paired, but it is doubted whether they
will emerge from the harbor on ac-
count Of the extensive seizures by the
Japanese of coal laden ships bound for
YladiyOStok.

PRESIDENT URGED TO ACT
HEAD OF PEACE CONGRESS ASKS
ROOSEVELT TO TRY AND
END EASTERN WAR.

Washington, Feb. TO- President
Roosevelt has been urged to take some
action looking to the termination OF
the Russo-Japanese war. The request
was made by the Interparliamentary
union, through the president OF the or
ganization, Representative Bartholdt
of Missouri. DR.. Bartholdt explained
to the president that the consensus OF
ion and among European parliament
tarians with whom he is in corresponds
snce was that the president OF the
United States was the one man, with
the possible exception OF the emperor
of Germany, who indicated no disposl-
tion to try to bring the war 10 an end,
who might be listened to on the sub
ject with favor by Russia. DR.. Bar
tholdt pointed out that, although Rus
sia had let it be understood that any
offer of mediation from whatever
source would be not only unWelcome
but would be regarded as an unfriend-
Iy act. such an attitude was in viola
tion of the plain stipulations of The
Hague convention, of which Russia
was not only a party but of which the
czar was the moving power. The
president gave DR.. Bartholdt NO def
mite assurances beyond promising to
consider the matter with Secretary
Hay.
1t is known to be quite unlikely that
action looking to mediation until some
assurances have been received from
both parties to the pending conflict
that such action would not be unwel-
come.

NEW YORK BOWLERS WANT
TO. GOVERN THEMSELVES
Decide to Ask for Home Rule at the
National Bowling Champion
shin Meeting

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Coolan, Dumas
and Riddell, New Workers, were in
Chicago to-day. en- route to the ma
tional bowling championship tourna-
ment, which opened at Milwaukee to-
night.
I'VE are bearers of resolutions adopt
ed by the New York Bowling Associa-
tion," said one of the Gothamites at
the Auditorium this evening. What
We want is to be allowed home rule, as
we have what we consider an ideal or
ganization in Gotham. Then, too, we
want the weight of bowling balls linn
tied to sixteen pounds. We would pre-
fer having an atwood ball, for we
think it gives the stronger man an
advantage over the weaker when the
ball is loaded to the limit with lead.
At home we use square cutters, while
cut here you prefer rounded ones. The
square gutter eliminates to certain
extent the luck of the game and puts
the sport on a more scientific basis.
IF we are granted these concessions
by the American Bowling Congress we
are willing to join and put our shoul-
ders to the wheel. We are not out
after the next meet and are willing to
go half way to bury the hatchet.'
