described himself to the police as Michael
Tokmee, laborer, twenty-five years old.
While the surgeons We're examining Lewis

OBSERVATIONS IN MANcHUR1A
Report of Capt. March, Who Was With
the Japanese.

capt. Peyton C. March of the yener
staff, who served as a military attache with
the japanese army in the Manchtffian cam
paign, mas nied report of his observa tons
at the war Department. The ONLY part of
thls report made public at the present time
as having bearing on the pending lesisla-
lion providing for an increase of the med
zeal department of the army is as follows.
Ihe sanitary problems arising on a mod
ern battlefield are of the first magnitude
Inc tremendous number of wounded ey
,hausts the capacity of the medical depart-
ment not only to actually treat the cases
out TO handle the administrative problems
arising from having to take care of the
records and equipment of an army of
wounded men. i desire to add that. what
ever may be the theoretical arguments Of
Iefed IN opposition to the increase i'm our
medical corps asked for by the surgeon
general last winter, my experience hc-e has
convinced me that the general staff shoull
put ltseil on record as approving and rec
Ommend1ng such an increase Our present
medical corps, assisted by the volunteer and
state surgeons, upon whom we could ralv in
Tune OF war; will, in my opinion be wholly
inadequate TO the task of handling the SAM
tary problems of a great war. and in tha!
emergency it will be extremely i'll for .te

that the number and grade of officers de-
sired by the surgeon general to render his
corps able to handle those problems have
not been authorized because of the opyos,-

may not grant such increase. That is

COAL FOR CAVITE.
Increased Cost Of Transportation in
Steam Vessels.

The Navy Department is having consider
able trouble in the transportation of coal to
the Asiatic station on account of the
statute which requires such shipments to
be made in American bottoms. Contracts
have been awarded to Louis Luckenbach of
New York for the transportation of 5000
tons of coal ana to the Atlantic Transport
Company for the transportation of 9,3oO
tons TO the naval station at Cavite The
shipments are to be made in January and
February III three steamers. The contract
price in each case is $50 a ton which is
30 cents a ton more than the rate paid for
previous consignment and one dollar a
ton more than If transported on sailing YES
sells. The necessity for. prompt deliveries
required the use of steamships in spite of
the much greater cost. None of the sailing
ships would have been ready to sail before
May and would then have consumed about
six months on the voyage.
Rear Admiral Manney. chief of the bu-
reau of equipment, has again recommended
that authority be given for the shipment of
coal to the Asiatic station in foreign bot
toms until the supply of fuel in storage at
Cavite shall be sufficient to justify the de-
lay caused by the difficulty in obtaining
American bo.,o-ns at reasonable rates.

REFUGEES IN BERLIN.
Opinion of Arrivals From ST. Peters
burg-Suggestive EXPRESSIONS.

BERLIN, January 2S-Foreign residents
of St. Petersburg beginning to arrive
in Berlin to await developments. Some
Americans and Englshmen and many
Germans who are obliged to remain there
to attend TO business are sending their fam
ilies here.
The opinion of the arrivals is that the
present half calm is only period of prepa-
ration for greater resistance TO the gov
eminent, and that active smuggling of
arms and dynamite is going on across the
Austrian frontier.
that more serious events. and even revo-
luton, are impending. The wife of lead
ing American of ST. Petersburg, who has
arrived here, relates how a princess who
was expressing the most positive views
concerning Gov. Gen. Trepoff to countess
was interrupted with the remark
You talk like an anarchist
Are you not one?" replied the princess

countess.

A Report to the Senate Not Expected

Question Involved.

The investigation of protests against Sem
ator Smoot of Utah retaining his seat in
the United States Senate was closed today
by the committee on privileges and cleo
tions, and when report is drafted by the
committee the investigation will pass to
the whole Senate. One question of great
moment which will be fought over on the
foo" of the Senate is whether a two-thirds
vote or majority of the Senate is required
to expel a member. Judge Tayler, counsel
for the protestants, holds that majority
vote will suffice in the same manner that
a majority vote will prevent senator from
first taking his seat.
Ii will be several weeks before the COM

TRANSPORTATION OF CATTLE.
Discrimination in Rates and Poor Serv
ice Alleged.


Murdo Mckenzie, an eXtensiZe cattle man
of Colorado and Texas. made complaint
before the Senate committee on interstate
commerce today of inequalities discrimina-
tions and poor service on the part of the
railroads in the matter of the transporta-
ton of cattle. He cited instances of de-
lay in shipments to the markets, saying
that such delays often mean the loss of a
had protection under existing law. but said
that in most cases the cost of legal pro-
ceedings would be greater than the value
of the stock. He said the cattlemen want
power given to the interstate commerce
commission not only to fix rates, but to
regulate the character of service.
In continuing the statement begun by
him yesterday, Judge s. H. Cowan, rep
resenting the southwest cattle men, took
up the question of railroad rates on cat
tie shipments. He said that there had
been general increase since 1898, the
average increase in rates from Texas
points being o1a cents per hundred pounds.
Questioned by Senator Elkins to
whether there had been a corresponding
increase in the price of beef. the wit
ness said that the reply to that question
would depend upon the vieWpoint ITO the
man who buys beef there has been an in
crease" he said, but to the man who
sells there has been a decline"
Mr.. Cowan urged that a commission
would be just as competent to adjust rates
as were the railroad traffic men, because
the data upon which rates must be based
were as available to one man as to an
other.
but" suggested Senator Efkins, 1.-The
consolidation of railroads destroys cDinpe-
tition.'' To which Judge .Cowan assented
most heartily, saying that was the point
of his contention. He claimed that through
it's decisions the Supreme Court of the
United States practically had repealed
the third and fourth sectiens of the inter-
state commerce law relating to prefer
ences.
