UNDER FIFTY THOUSAND.
Russians Killed in Battle During First
Year of War,

+. -
st. Petersburg, Feb. 15.-The official
returns for the first year OF the war,
not including t1e Port Arthur statis-
tics, show that 130,439 officers and
men passed through the hospitals go
ing north, of which number 1,71O Off
GERS. were wounded and 1908 were
sick: $500 men were wounded and
72,5s1 were sick; 4,0O7 subsequently,
died in hospitals; 6,474 wounded and
1,24S were invalided; 1922 returned
to Russia; Il ,554 are still in hospitals.
Over 1900, therefore, presumably re.
turned to the. ranks. These figures do
not include the numbers of those
killed on the field OF battle, nor prob
ably those slightly injured who re-
NAMED temporarily in field hospitals.
The showing is considered remarkably
good. The proportion dying in hos
pital is very low; total loss to the
active army in wounded and sick be.
ing little over $4,000, of whom al
most half have still a chance of return
ing to the ranks. The other half will
be invalided or returned to Russia
The killed in battle are estimated to
have numbered between 10000 and
$4,000

SENATE DISCUSSES PLAN TO IN
VALIDATE ATTORNEY GEN.
ERALS DECISION.
HAAsBRoUGH THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKER
DECLARES RULING WILL LOWER
THE PRICE OF THE AMERl-
CAN PRODUCT.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Immediately
tural appropriation bill was taken up,
the Hansbrough amendmGet, intended
| to be a legislative Interpretation of
| portions of the Dingley law relating to
the duty on wheat, being first consid-
cred. 1t declares that paragraph 234
of that act, which imposes specific
| duty on wheat, shall not be held to be
affected by the provisions of section 80
of the same act, which provides for
drawback on imported articles used in
domestic manufacture
Mr. Hansbrough spoke in support of
the amendment, going minutely into
the legislation and the decision of the
attorney general, which, in his view,
made necessary the amendment.
| Mr.. Hansbrough contended that the
decision allowing drawback on Inn
lported wheat was wrong, because the
portion of -four made from such wheat
could not be distinguished from that
j made of the domestic product, as, he
argued, was necessary under the draw
back provisions. He said the opinion
would be farreaching, extending to all
articles used in manufacture
Makes Revision Unnecessary.
"We hear much about the tariff re-.
vision, Mr. Hansbrough remarked,
"but if the practice of the treasury de-
i partment in accordance with. this de-
cision is to go on such revision will
be unnecessary because the treasury
| department will make its own re-
/ vision
Coming to the specific matter in
question he said that the price paid
! for imported wheat would fix the price
1 Of the entire wheat product of the
United States.
Mr.: Hansbrough said that the fact
that the wheat grown in the United
States was protected had the effect OF
/ making the price of wheat in this coun-
! try worth from II to 20 cents per
| bushel more than Canadian wheat and
he predicted that the practice in con-
/ fOrmity with the recent decision would
have the effect OF lowering the price
/ of American wheat while it Increased
the price Of the Canadian article.
i Mr.. McCumber On. d. supported
the Hansbrough amendment, saying
the effect of the decision is to estab-
lish free trade and to bring the price
of American wheat to the Canadian
/ level.

/ AskEU TO SEE PRESIDENT.
unWelcctne Visitor Calls at Roose
vets Stopping Place.


yeIt's Stopping Place.
New York, Feb. 15.The first at
tempt of an nnWelcome visitor to call
upon President Roosevelt since his ar
rival III New York occurred early in
the day when William Waldorf Jack
son, Jr., of Lowell, Mass, called at the
home of Douglass Robinson, 422 Mad
ison avenue, where the president
stopped for the night, and asked to
have his card sent to the president.
Secret service men and policemen on
guard about the entrance informed
the man that the president had not
yet arisen and asked him to call again.
He was not arrested, but went to a
hotel, saying he would return later to
the Robinson home.
In answer to questions as to his
identity and why he wanted to see the
president Jackson said he wished to
confer with the president as to re-
forms in government and that he was
a self-nominated candidate for the
presidency in 1896, 1900 and 1904.
Jackson, who is an old man, returned
to the Robinson home a second time
in about an hour. He went to base
ment door and addressed a detective
who was stationed inside the twisted
iron door.
Are you the president 2" he asked
eyes, sir; good morning to you,
replied the detective.
We'll. do you know, ! am William
Waldorf Jackson, Jr., and | am very
anxious to speak with your"
After telling the old man that he
was very busy and that he would pre-
fer to have him call some other time
the detective bade his visitor good
bye" and turned inside the door.
Jackson returned to the sidewalk
and after expressing his disappoint-
ment to those standing near he walked
slowly away.

EXPLAINS HEARST CHARGE.
REPRESENTATIVE SULLIVAN RE.
PLIES TO ACCUSATION OF
NEW YORK EDITOR.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The Sullivan
Hearst episode had another airing in
the house during the day~when Mr.
Sullivan, again rising to a question OF
personal privilege, declared that Mr..
Hearst had ignored his offer to make
statement concerning his connection
with the homicide to which Mr.. Hearst
alluded.
Mr.. Sullivan admitted it to be true
that on Nov. "a, 1855, his father, Eu-
gene j. Sullivan, and himself were
convicted of manslaughter in the SUI
perior court of Middlesex county,
Mass.
Mr.. Sullivan explained that while
his father was conducting licensed
hotel i'll Boston he was attacked by
drunken man. He (Sullivan), then
seventeen years old, went to the res
cue of his father. The man was
| knocked down and struck his head
against the curbstone, became uncon-
scious and never recovered His father
was sentenced to three years impris-t
onment. Sullivan was held to be only
technically guilty and was neither i'm
prisoned nor fined. His father was
pardoned after serving a year and q
half.
Mr.. Sullivan declared that the most
that could ever be alleged against him
was that he was technically guilty Of
the offense charged, the district aLtor-
ney having admitted that he was not
even morally guilty.
Mr.. Sullivan received loud applause
from both sides of the chamber when
he declared that he walked out Of
court a free man and had not been
imprisoned a day nor fined cent. The
applause broke out afresh when he de-
clared that under similar circum-
stances If his father were alive he
would go to his defense He took his
seat amid renewal applause, several
members going to his seat and shak-
Ing hands with him.
When MIR. Sullivan concluded his Re
publican colleague, Mr. Gardner, feel
ingly spoke of his Intimate associa-
tfon with Mr. Sullivan in the Massa-
chusetts senate and testified to Mr.
Sullivan S worth as man. IS

OPPOSE HOUSE RATES BILL.
Holders of Railway Securities Object
to Legislation.

Washington, Feb. 15.-When the
hearing on railroad rates before the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce was resumed Daniel Daven-
port of Bridgeport, Conn.,, speaking on
behalf of an organization of holders of
railway securities, confined his discus
sion to the Esch-ToWnsend bill. The
concentration of his remarks on the
bill before the committee was by di-
rectiOn of Senator Foster of fLouisiana,
who said he understood that this meas
ure was passed by the house in re-
sponse to the presidents last message
on rate legislation.
Mr.. Davenport said there were con
stitutional obstacles in the way Of
carrying out the views of the president
as expressed in his message and he
read from supreme court decisions in
support of his contention that judicial
powers cannot be conferred on the
interstate commerce commission

to the People.
Chanote, Kan, Feb. 15.-The ad-
visory committee of the Kansas Oil
Producers association has given out a
statement in which the Standard Oil
company is denounced and an appeal
is made to the people to fight that con
cern.
The producers assert the company
has not kept its promise made at the
time CT its entrance into the Kansas
oil fields. The producers assert that
the promise was made to them by rep
sresentatives of the Standard Oil COM

would be selling for So a barrel. In
stead, they say, the Standard has cut
the price several times and that it is
now less than 81 a barrel.

SCORE or LIVES LosT
Cold Spell Results in Many Deaths in
Southwest.

-SOQltIvsCSks
Chicago, Feb. 15.-Although details
are lacking it is estimated that about
a score of people have lost their lives
during the cold snap, the majority OF
the fatalities being in the Southwest.
The less of cattle on the ranges,
particularly on lnose lying in the
northern part of the southern tier of
states, will be heavy.
". e. Bolton. secretary of the Okla,
homa Live Stock association, de
clares that the live stock losses in the
present cold weather will be the great
est since the blizzard of 1896.
He places the number of head lost
on the ranges in Western Kansas,
Western Oklahoma and the Panhandle
of Texas at $4,000 head.
Farther north in Nebraska and the
Dakotas and Montana the stockmen
are better prepared to shelter their
stock, their cattle are better Injured to
cold and it is not expected that their
losses will be anything near as heavy
as those on the ranges farther to the
south.

BRITISH PARLlAM MENT MEETS.
Kings Speech From the Throne a
Commonplace Document.


London, Feb. 15.-The sixth session
of the first parliament of his reign was
opened during the afternoon by King
Edward with all the historic pageantry
which has marked the ceremony since
his accession. The sovereign himself
read the speech from the throne to the
assembled lords and commons in the
upper chamber. The document was
commonplace.
The only reference to the Russo
Japanese war, which the king said
.unhappily continues" was to an
nounce that my government has been
careful TO observe in the sstrictest man
ner the obligations incumbent upon a
neutral power
The lengthiest paragraph, devoted to
the Balkans, says the situation con-
tinues to give cause for anxiety The
measures adopted at the instance of
the Austro-Russian governments have
been instrumental in bringing about
some amelioration in the state of the
disturbed districts, but these meas
ures have still to be supplemented by
radical reforms, especially of the finan-
cial system, before any permanent inn
prov enenLs can be effected in the adj
ministration of these provinces of the
Turkish empire"

NEW VERSION OF INCIDENT.
kuropatkin Said to Have Accused
Gripenberg of nsubordination.

T. E
st. Petersburg, Feb. 15-According
to the latest gossip at the war office
General Kuropatkin has charged Gen
eral Glipenberg, former commander of
the Second army, with insubordina-
tion in leaving his command without
authority, but the story cannot be
traced to a responsible source and
perhaps represents simply a new YER
sion Of the incident. While definite
information continues to be lacking
it seems TO be generally accepted that
General Gripenberg, after the recent
flanking operation, blamed the COM
mander-in-chief for his failure to sup
port him and after stormy scene
started for Russia to personally report
to the emperor.
