ATTENDANCE IMPROVING.
General Return of Absent Members
of the Senate.

washington, March 17.-Despite the
fact that it is recognized that there
are not enough votes for the ratit1ca-
ton of the Santo Domingo treaty there
was a general return during the day
of Republican members who have been
absent. Senators Lodge and Kittredge,
who have been away for few days,
were in their seats and Senator Dol
liver is within reach if vote should
be called for. After the reading OF
the journal Mr.. Teller asked if there
were objections to consideration of his
resolution of inquiry concerning Santo
Domingoan affairs. Mr. Cullom, who
had arisen to move an executive ses-
sion, said that an opportunity would
be given later for consideration of the
resolution.
The senate then went into executive
session.

Children Lose Lives in Fire.

Marquette, Mich, March 1.-Two
children of a Finnish settler named
Akkala, living at jerks Spur, east of
here, were burned to death in fire
which destroyed their home. The
mother had gone to store for provi-
sions and it is supposed that the chill
dren, aged six and four, played with
matches and set the place on fire.

a5.-The Russians have abandoned
their advanced positions on the Fan
river, where the desperate attack OF
the japanese March IA was repulsed,
and have fallen back upon the de-
fenses at Tie pass. Previous to tho
retirement the supplies, wood, etc /,
collected there were set on fire
a desperate, bloody battle is now
gaging north of Tie pass.

ENTIRELY FOR HIS HEALTH.
Secretary Hay Going Abroad on Ad-
vice of His Physicians

Washington, March 17.-While Sec
retary Hay has not yet perfected the
details of the trip he is about to take
it may be said that he expects to be
absent from Washington until about
the end of April. Most of the time
will be spent on the ocean, for the
secretary is going away entirely for
the sake of his health and upon the
urgent representations of his physi-
clans. Therefore, though he may in
the course of his voyage touch neces-
sarily at several European ports, he is
charged with no official mission and is
seeking perfect rest from all mental
work and strain. 1t is not part of his
plan to call upon any of the officials
abroad if that can be properly avoided.
Mrs. Hay will accompany the secre-
tary.

WEALTHY WOMEN eAMsLE.
New York PoIies Successfully Raid a
Fashionable "Joint."

New York, March 1.-THE police
ratded a poolroon and gambling house
in Forty-second street which they de-
clare was patronized almost exclusive
ly by wives OF wealthy New Workers..
The evidence was obtained by a wo-
man detective. The alleged poolroom
was situated in a fashionable apart
ment house. The police had to break
down two doors to reach the room.
After obtaining their names the police
allowed the women to go, but arrested
the proprietor.

other Matters Considered.

Other matters beside Santo Domin-
go were taken up by the senate in ex-
ecutive session, it being the general
idea that because of delay in getting in
certain nominations from the White
House time could be used proftably
in the discussion of other treaties.
The Nicaraguan extradition treaty was
ratified and the Russian arbitration
treaty was discussed at some length
Then number of nominations were
confirmed.
The Newlands resolution was agreed
to, calling upon the president, if not
incompatible with the public interests,
to send to the senate certain informa-
tion in regard to Dominican affairs.
Senator Morgan started speech
against the treaty at 1: Is and still had
the floor when recess was taken.
