Death of Former Secretary
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 5.-When the
senate convened at 11:15 o'clock this
morning it concurred, by rising vote,
in the action of the assembly in adopt
ing resolutions lamenting the death OF
the late Walter S. Melick, former Sec
re tary to the state board of examiners.
The appointment of the following at
taches, representing the Democratic
minority in the upper house, was duly
confirmed.
Stenographers at S. a day-N. B. San
ford, Joseph A. Vaughn, Grace Holt, X.
/. Barlow.
Sergeant at armS-J. G. Mccall.
Porter-w. H. Muncie.
Senator Woodward's resolution, pro-
viding that when bill is to be
amended the portion proposed to be
eliminated be included in brackets and
the new matter underscored, which was
made special order for this morning,
was the subject of considerable debate.
Senator Leavitt said that the resolu-
ton would not do what it purported.
l. would permit nefarious measures to
go through under misapprehenslon, as
it would allow misleading matter to be
inserted
Senator Simpson of Alameda made
his maiden speech ON the floor against
Woodward's resolution. He said he
had been in consultation with the state
PRINTER who had declared the plan to
underline and bracket portions of bills
to be impracticable. Simpson was in
favor of the existing method of con-
sulting members in regard to changes
iii bills.
Senator Curtin favored the spirit of
the Woodward resolution and urged its
adoption if it could be amended in a
few particulars.
Senator Shortridge claimed that if
the resolution were adopted consider
able additional expenses would be en-
tailed at the state printing office
An end was brought to the debate
when concurrent resolution by Sena-
tor Ralston, providing that committees
OF three from both houses be appointed
TO report on the mooted question was
adopted. Senators Belshaw, Short
ridge and Woodward were named on
the committee.

Send Away Nonoombatants

By Associated Press.
CHEFOO, Jan. 3, night.-Japan-
ese Consul Mizouno tonight notified
Russian Consul Tiedemann that the
first portion of the 1000 Russian nom
combatants at Port Arthur who are
to come to Chefoo will arrive Friday.
II will be some time before the entire
thousand reach here, owing to short
age of transportation facilities.
Most Of these non-combatants are in
good health, although some of them
are merely sufficiently convalescent to
reach here.
The authorities at Toxic having re-
fused a proposition made by the Rus
sian minister at Pexing, Paul Lessar,
to send ship loaded with medical sup
plies and food for the. invalids, it has
been suggested that this ship be d-
verted to Chefoo for the benefit of the
expected non-combatants.

TO FORCE czAR's HAND
Russian RevoIutionists May Cause
Government to End War


BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 5.-Emperor
Nicholas returned today to Tsarskoe-
Selo from Minsk.
The revolutionary agitators have de-
cided to take every advantage of the
governments embarrassment and the
moderate Liberals who are trying to
force the governments hands and COM
pel the summoning of a national as
sembly are beginning to redouble their
efforts.
In spite of the loud protestations OF
the official world that peace is impos-
sible, the opinion is held by exceedingly
shrewd observers that the government
may be forced to conclude peace with
Japan in order to have free hands to
deal with the internal situation.
With the increasing complications M.
De Witte, president of the ministerial
council, looms up larger as the strong
man to whom the emperor will turn in
the present crisis
1t is remarkable that the dispatches
from the front are absolutely silent on
the subject of the army's reception of
the news of the fall of Port Arthur, in
dicating that the announcement has
been withheld.

Japanese Officers Believe Vessels Sunk
at Port Arthur Are Salvable

BY Associated Press.
TOXIC, Jan. 5.--The japanese naval
officers have not examined the sunken
Russian warships at Port Arthur, and
therefore nothing is known of their
condition and possibility for further
use.
1t is expected that careful examina-
ton of the vessels will be made at the
earliest possible moment. The Jap
anese are keenly anxious to know the
condition Of the sunken ships and it is
believed some of them are salvable.
The Russians ingeniously blocked the
drydock. They towed the transport
Amur inside the dock. blew her up so
that she partly turned turtle and sank
sldewse and then they destroyed the
dock gate.
The Russians surrendered possession
of the dockyard and other naval prop
erty yesterday and turned over to the
japanese ten small steamers available
for immediate use. All the other craft
had previously been sunk.
The work of clearing away the mines
was began as soon as the Russian
charts provided for in the eapitulation
agreement were delivered to the Jap
Gnese.
The official figures giving the Russian
and Japanese losses at Port Arthur are
not yet available. The original strength
OF the Russian garrison is not known,

Future Is Bright

with what is rapidly getting to be
behind this forest policy and with the
unbroken support of the great indus
tries behind the general policy of the
conservative use of the forests, we
have a right to feel that we have en-
tered upon an era of great and last
ing progress. Much, very much, yet
remains to be done but the future is
bright and the permanence of our
timber supplies is far more nearly as
sured than at any previous time in
our history. To the men whom this
congress contains and represents this
great result is Que.
In closing 1 wish to thank you who
are here not merely for what you are
doing in this particular movement, but
for The fact that you are illustrating
what 1 may call the typical American
methods of meetings of greatness and
Importance to the nation-the method
of seeing whether the individuals par
ticularly concerned cannot by getting
together and cooperating with the
government do infinitely more for
themselves than it would be possible
for any government to do for them.
"I believe in the future of this move
ment because think you have the
right combination of qualities-the
quality of individual initiative, the
quality of individual resourceful-
ness, combined with the quail
ity that enables you to come to-
gether for mutual help, and having SO
come together, to work with the gov
ernment; and pledge you in the full
est measure the support of the govern
ment in what you are doing"
