knowledge the kindly remarks of Earl
Spencer, who had congratulated the
government upon it's conduct of the
negotiations following the Dogger
bank affair.
Speaking on the subject of Mace
donia, Lord Lansdowne said there was
consensus of opinion among the
scheme would be proposed which he
hoped would meet with sympathetic
criticism.
The foreign secretary declined to en-
ter into an explanation of the nego-
tiations with Afghanistan. He said it
would not be desirable at the present
time to lay the papers before the
house
After few words from Lord Gosch-
en-. Liberal, the address was agreed to
and. the house of lords adjourned.
First Division in House
In the house of commons w. A.
Mount. Conservative, and Samuel
Roberts, Conservative, seconded the
address in reply to the kings speech
The first division approaching party
lines occurred in the house of COM
mons when Mr.. Dalziel, Liberal, moved
that the house censure Lord Arling-
ton for breach of privilege by his ac-
ton in the North Dorset election. Pre-
mier Balfour said nothing could be
cl lnXT fi,n.ti
and moved the previous question,
which was carried.
Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman, the
Liberal leader in the house, speaking
on Mr.. Mounts motion, bitterly as
sailed the government, which he said
was evading the fiscal question, as
shown by the failure of mover. He
said that the opposition would shortly
endeaVor to secure a straight answer
from Premier Balfour, showing
whether or not he was in agreement
with Joseph Chamberlains proposals.
He continued almost up to 7:30 p. M,
when Sir Edgar Vincent, Conservative,
took up the debate and was speaking
when the house suspended it's sitting.
BaIfour Makes His Reply
The first hour and half of the night
session was taken up with desultory
speeches in the debate upon the ad-
dress in reply to the speech from the
throne. Premier Balfour rose at 10:3o
o'clock to reply to Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman.
Mr. Balfour justified the govern
ment's actions in Thibet, saying it was
the ministry's earnest desire to main
tain the friendliest relations with
Afghanistan.
He touched on Chinese labor in
South Africa and repeated Lord
Lansdownes pronouncement with re-
gard to the future of the South African
colonies. He also defended the sugar
convention.
Mr.. Balfour protested against bring
ing the fiscal question before this par
lament, and said it was entirely ir-
relevant. He was unable, he said, to
make his position clearer than he al
ready had done. He taunted the OPP
position on the existing confusion con-
cerning it's future program.
The house of commons adjourned at
11.12 n m

VAST RUSSIAN FORCE
Japanese Estimate 1t at Nearly Half
Million
BY Associated Press.


TOXIC, Feb. 14.-Reports from Lao
Yang place the total Russian force
between the Shakhe river and Harbin
at 100000, of which 2SOOOO are on the
fighting line. The condition of pris-
oners and of the bodies OF the dead
indicate that the Russians are short
of winter clothing and shoes. Some
of the officers are wearing Chinese
shoes. 1t is believed that exposure to
the cold is greatly increasing sickness
among the Russians.
Later estimates of the Russian losses
at Heikoutau place them at $4,000.
Vice Admiral Togo departed from
Kurs yesterday, February 13, his des-
tination being kept secret. 1t is pre-

Son Tells Of Shooting
Sam II. Champion, the son Of the
deceased Champion and an eye wit
ness to the killing, told story Of the
affair as follows:
His mother had advised her hus-
band not to go near the defendants
house or he would be killed. He did
not heed the warning, however and
Mrs. Champion called young Cham
revolver which had been left there by
her nephew, S. D. Jeffers.
They drove away to put up their
team, and while at the defendants
house he came out and challenged
Thomas Champion to fight a duel with
knives.
This the challenged man declined to
do and c. G. Champion went into the
house but returned armed with Il
shotgun. An alteration ensued,
whereupon Sam Champion handed his
father a revolver and advised him to
use it if necessary.
While Thomas Champion was look
ing at the weapon the fatal shot was
fired.
Mrs. Olive Champion, the widow OF
the deceased, and S. d. Jeffers,
nephew, also testified against the de-
fendant.
1t is probable that counsel will pre-
sent arguments to the jury today and
the case will go to the jury either late
this afternoon or Thursday morning.

TypicaI American Gatherina

Tonight l wish to greet you most
warmly and to say that I doubt if we
could find more typical American
gathering than this. Americanism is
not matter of birthplace of ancestry,
of creed, of occupation; Americanism is
matter of the spirit that is within the
mans soul Since the time when We
first became an independent nation to
the present moment there has never
been a generation in which some of the
most distinguished and most useful
men were not men who had been born
on the other side of the Atlantic, and
it is peculiarly appropriate and to me
peculiarly pleasant that in addressing
this club of the men upon whose efforts
much of the future welfare of this city
of this state of this nation, depends,
should be addressing men who show by
their actions that they know no differ
ence between Jew and Gentle, Catho-
lie and Protestant, native-born and
foreign-born; provided only the man.
whatever his creed, whatever his birth
place. strives to live to do his full duty
by his neighbor and by the country as
a whole"

Speech of President

When silence was obtained he said,
in part:
'It is nearly ten years ago that 1
first took dinner here in the immediate
neighborhood of where 1 am dining
now and at that time 1 remember per-
fectly when L was brought up here. 1t
was by Mr.. Jacob Riis and Mr.. Jim
Reynolds, and 1 was told that I would
get an awful good dinner and hear
some very good music, and both proph
estes proved true; and it was about
that time that L grew to be acquainted
with so many of my hosts and fellow
guests of this evening. The others
had known before. With one of my
fellow guests, General Grant, I was
then working in common and at diff
ferent times I spoke at meetings pre-
sided over by or held in the club houses
of various of the gentlemen here pres
ent, sometimes on political subjects
much oftener on matters of good citi
zenship affecting us all as good cit-
zens. L grew in these years. gentle
men, to have a very close feeling of
sympathy and affection and regard for
the men and women of the great east
side of this city, and l needed no urg
ing when l was invited to come and be
the guest at club of the east side

A Hungarian orchestra especially
pleased the president with its inspiring
music throughout the dinner.
kilograms Of Greeting
Among the kilograms read at the
dinner was one from the Hungarian
club Of Kansas city to President
Roosevelt. which read:
Hungarian hearts beat for you be-
cause they always find you true. We
hope you viii find the Tokay right and
God will bless your appetite"
An amusing incident of the early
part of the dinner was furnished by Mr..
Taursig. a prominent member of the
club. He is a tall man with long black
hair and a rather striking countenance.
He was sitting down in front of the
president and started up to shake
hands with him, when there was an
immediate rush Of secret service men
to the rescue. This caused great
amusement among members of the club
and the president gave him a most
cordial greeting.
A letter from Count Apponyi, one of
the opposition leaders in the Hun
garian Diet, in which he said he would
have liked to attend the banquet and
paying a high compliment to Ameri-
cans and President Roosevelt, was
read.
Kossuth, the Hungarian statesman,
sent the following telegram which was
read amid great enthusiasm:
Deliver at banquet congratulations
of our party to President Roosevelt"
1t was 10:3O o'clock when Mr.. Braun
raped for order that he might intro
duce the president.
Amid loud cries Of "Elben," and the
playing of the Star Spangled Ban
ner," Mr. Braun proposed the presl-
dents health.
The applause was deafening as the
president arose and faced the crowded
room.
