 Iector of Debts for Nations.
 '. Boston, Feb. 24. Former Secretary of the Navy John D. Long, speaking at dinner of the New England Rubber club tonight, expressed himself strongly as of the opinion that it is not desirable that this country should be "a collector of debts for all the nations of Europe which hold claims against South American republics. He assert ed that while he believed in large navy, he was opposed to the present policy of large immediate increase, on the ground that it would tend to create a reaction on the part of the people, and declared that it would be impossi- ble to secure men to properly man such "a navy as is now in propect under the plans of the administration.
 q think we may we'll rejoice, he said, sfhat our country is now in 8 con dition of peace, that all the tendencies of our national life are ill that direc- ton. .Itsis my earnest hope that it will so continue and that is one reason why I think we are carrying this Monroe doctrine a little too far"

TO APPOINT DISMISSED MEN.
President Asked to Make Five Former
 Army Cadets Second Licutenants.

army Sausts Seconu Hcutenahtss
 Washington, Feb. 24 - President Roosevelt was asked to-day to appoint as second lieutenants in the army five cadets to the West Point military acad- emy who were dismissed on May 21, 1901 The petition for their appoint ment was presented by Representative Hinshaw of Nebraska. The cadets were c. E. Bowlby of Nebraska, John A. Cleveland of Alabama, T. F. Keller of New York, B. O. Mahaffey of Texas, and R. A. Linton of Michigan, all mem ters of tfe class graduated in 1902. A member of their class was punished for an infraction of the rules of the acad- emy When the announcement of the punishment was made, the five cadets assembled on the campus and demon- strated their disapproval of the pun ishment by derisive yeils. Their action was construed as a reflection upon the superintendent of the academy and stlb- sequently the five men were dismissed from the institution Superintendent Mills of the military academy joins in the petition for their appointment to the army.
 Under the law the young men cannot be reinstated at the academy, but, two years having elapsed since their dis missal, they may be appointetd to the army The president promised to con- slider the matter with Secretary Taft.

SIGNIFICANT COMPARISON.
Railroad Accidents in United States and
 In Germany.

In Germany.
 Berlin, Feb. 24.--General Won Budde. Prussian minister of state and public works, in the budget committee of the diet to-day, made comparison between railroad accidents in the United States and Prussia, showing that derailments are three times more frequent in the United States and collisions three and a half times, while the number of per sons killed or wounded was thirty-six times greater. Accidents are growing less frequent on the Prussian roads. The average per million train kilome- tres ten years ago was 6:S accidents, and for 1904, 5:07. The interest upon capital invested in Prussian railways has risen since 1890 from Az to 7.3 per cent. Recent experiments with high grade locomotives have yielded a max mum of eighty-two miles an hour, but locomotives are unable to maintain. this rate. Seventy-four miles an hour is possible, but the government rec ommends that the speed do not exceed sixty-eight miles an hour. @

to his declaration that the report was absurd, they would only say, we have heard that the little father has de- cided.''
 When the proprietor asked what would become of him they replied. ''oh, we will leave you the buildings and for ty acres"
 Once the peasantry become possessed of the idea that the emperor has willed division of land, it will be exceedingly difficult to disabuse their minds, and agrarian troubles on a large scale are feared. The moujiks are likely to turn upon the proprietors as they did several years ago in the provinces of Saratoff and Poltava, when almost a complete anarchy reigned for some time. -
 Among the reservists agitators are spreading the story that the war is over. A case is cited which occurred a fortnight ago at Riazan, where 200 re- servists who had been called in fiatly told the officer they did not intend to serve. '"The war is oyer," said the leda- CT; i've know you simply want to make money out of contract for feeding us. We will not serve and off they march,
 ed. An instance is also given of re- servists who actually left a railroad train after they had been started for the front. ,l.s ~ g.. .z.--
 Private reports also leave no room for doubt that the strikes in the whole region below Moscow are almost entire ly political in character. The situation generally in the south of Russia is be- | a ,SH1 a,N1 contains many factors which are caus- ing the authorities the greatest alarm. The possibility of the necessity for the dispatch of additional troops to the Caucasus is already being considered. Another factor that is causing grave concern is the actual difficulty in trans porting enough commissary supplies for feeding the army at the front, These constantly increasing difficulties are strengthening the peace party.

SENATE MAY VOTE ON
 SWAYNE CASE MONDAY
BELIEF THAT AN AGREEMENT
 WILL BE REACHED To-DAY.
NIT. Higgins Vigorously Defends the Judge - Explains Latters Absence from His Court as Due to Calls on Him to Preside in Other states--Com- pIete Lack of Malice on swayne's Part in the O,NeaI Case.

Washington. Feb. 24-The time of the senate to-day was divided between the Swayne impeachment trial and the mo- tion of MT. Beveridge to appoint con- ferees on the joint statehood bill. In the Swayne case Messrs. Perkins, Clay ton and Powers made arguments in be- half of the prosecution and MT. Higgins responded in Judge swayne's behalf, leaving MT. Thurston still to speak for Judge SWayne and Messrs. De Armond and Palmer for the house. The trial will be resumed at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
 It is the expectation of the senators who are managing the impeachment trial of Judge Swayne that an agree ment will be made tomorrow to take a vote on Monday. Senator Morgan an- tagonized the motion to. appoint cons ferees on the statehood bill and held the floor in opposition when the senate ad- journed for the day.
 MT. Powers concluded his argument in the SWayne case at 3 o'clock, having devoted most of his time to the COZ tempt proceedings in which the judge had been involved. He was followed by ex-Senator Higgins, who made the first speech in defense of Judge Swayne.
 MT. Higgins quoted at length the res- olutions adopted by the Florida legisla- ture in 1903 demanding the impeach- ment of Judge Swayne, and said that of all the changes made in them none were left except those relating to residence and dealing with the contempt cases. Taking up first the contempt matters, he said that in the Belden- Davis case Judge Swayne had been actuated to do what he had by the conduct of the at torneys. He contended for the jurisdic- ton of Judge Swayne in the O'Neal case. and said that there was a com plete lack of malice on Judge Swayne's part. He explained the judges ab- sence from his court as due to calls on him to preside in other states. When, at 4.50 p. m, MT. Higgins concluded and MT Thurston was about to proceed MT. Fairbanks moved the adjournment .of the trial until tomorrow at 10 o'clock and the motion prevailed.
 This was done to afford the senate an opportunity to return to consideration of the motion for a conference on the statehood bill. @

CLOSING ON THE EAST FLANK.
Japanese Active and May Participate
 Another Great Battle.

Shenking, Manchuria, Feb. 24.-Via Mukden.-It is reported here that the Japanese are closing in on the Russian east flank. As the result of this move ment it is possible that there will be either a general engagement or at least a counter movement by the Russians along some part of the line, especially, as thought, the Japanese have returned to their original tactics of making fianking movements from the noun tains. The early advent of spring now makes possible operations in and from the mountainous districts.
 For the past three weeks the Rus sians have suffered no material dis turbance, with the exception of com paratively unimportant damage to the railroad and to a bridge near Kanchia pass, as the result of Japanese raids, aided, it is alleged, by Chinese bandits.
 Since the receipt of the news of the movement Of an unidentified force of unknown numbers behind the Russian right wing, the Russians have taken measures for the purpose of minimiz- ing the opportunities for brigands, in the belief that Chinese bandits are to some extent organized and directed by the Japanese cavalry.
 Reports of activity at VIadivostok in anticipation of an attack on that place by the Japanese are confirmed, but the town continues in it's accustomed gave tty in which the civil and military ele- lnents participate.
 The channels of business continue there in their normal state, notwith- standing the fact that the stringent patrol by the Japanese of the straits between the islaind of Sakhalin and the coast Of Japan has completely inter- rupted the movements of shipping.
 Supplies at Vladivostok, it is report ed are plentiful, though prices are high. The naval attaches of foreign governments are leaving Vladivostok, by request of the Russian authorities. The number of refugees at Mukden has been geratly reduced because of their transfer to the government resev- yation east of Kuachengtzu. The very considerable number remaining at ,Mukden, however, are now in receipt of adequate cars, this being rendered possible by the free import for their use of grain from the north.

outpoints Hanlon at All Stages of
 Their Bout.

Philadelphia, Feb. A.--Abe Attell had much the better of the six-round fight with Eddie Hanlon tonight at Industrial hall. Attell outpointed Han Ion at all stages of the bout, and at no time was he in q tight place. Al though Hanlon slightly outweighed his opponent he could do no effective work except in the clinches Attell was quick on his feet and was in and out before Hanlon knew what he was about, With the exception of the fourth and fifth rounds in which most of the work was done, the fight was a very ordinary af- fair. Neither man was punished to any extent. A small crowd saw the bout. -s sl5.
