TO the Editor
1 cannot keep from expressing my
surprise al the wonderful relief and
benefit 1 derived from the use of
Hyomei. For some years past have
been a victim to nasal and throat
catarrh, and during that time have ex-
pended great many dollars to
specialists, and had my throat sprayed
washed and smoked week after week.
The first time l used Hyomei l was
surprised at the change it brought.
This was few months ago, and /
have used Ii occasionally since. 1t
makes me so well that often forget
and neglect its use for several days,
but each time when l breathe it the
hawking and discharge cease, and it
is wonderful how il acts.
am over eighty-one years of age,
and careful not to praise anything
until / know what / am about.
Respectfully yours,
Alfred Speer.H

The conviction is growing stronger
that the Japanese heavy division is
concentrating close to the shores Of
Japan and it is also believed that
Admiral Togo will decline to give bat
tie in the open sea. This is what
the admiralty officials hope for, as it
sincerely believes Rojestvensky would
have more than an even chance if the
two squadrons lined up in open fight.
They believe that Togo's tactics will
be night torpedo boat attacks in at
tempts to scatter the Russian ships,
putting some of them out of action
and then picking off the damaged YES
sells in the morning, as it is recog-
nized that ii one of the Russian ships
IS injured it might be too dangerous
for the whole squadron to stand by
her and thus offer a big target for
the Japanese torpedoes. Such a run
ming fight, accompanied by nightly
torpedo attacks, therefore is what is
most dreaded

ference during the day with the OBJ
ject OF determining on the course to
be adopted in case OF the Russian

foreign settlement of Annoy, to pre-

this would not be necessary.
The japanese ships which have

st. Petersburg, April 20.-The keen
est interest is manifested in the dis
patches referring to the Russian
squadron commanded by Admiral Ro-

to be as much in the dark as the pub
lie regarding the plans of the admiral.
The report that part of the squadron
was sighted off Hongkong is not cred
tied here, however, as Hongkong is
far off his route. The main question
now agitating the naval officials is
whether Rojestvensky will elect to
proceed northward through the straits
Of Formosa or bear off into the Pa

the island Of Formosa, or Baling Tang

tors Office.
The senate committee on public ac-
counts, which had the reports of Pub
lie Examiner S. T. Johnson under con-
sideration, came in with it's report
Tuesday. The document does not fol-
low the lines of the house committees
report, although it is also something
of a "whitewash." The significant
point of difference between the senate
and the house reports is found in the
following paragraph:
Undoubtedly the result of the ex-
animation made by the public ex-
aminer has been highly beneficial to
the state, having brought about the
adoption Of better methods and more
careful rules in the auditors Office re-
lating to the management of its great
public lands and mineral interests
The remainder of the report is Civ
en- over to an eXoneration of the for
mer and present auditor from charges
of dishonesty
The report of the committee was
adopted without comment
Lieutenant Governor Jones affixed
his signature to the revised code and
| it was then sent to Governor Johnson
for signature.
The senate defeated the resolution
to pay the newspaper representatives
the proposed gratuity.
The committees to inform the gov
ernor and the house that the senate
was ready to adjourn performed their
duties; resolutions eulogizing Lieu
tenant Governor Jones and thanking
employees were adopted, and the sem
ate then adjourned sine die.
w. a. Nolan's reciprocal demur-
rage bill was killed by the senate.
Governor Johnson has signed the re-
vfsed code.
