given to correspondent of the AS

covering the defense and surrender OF
the fortress. He characterizes the
surrender before the garrison had
reached its extremity as a disgrace.
bitterly criticises General Stoessel
and lauds General Kondratenko, com
mander OF the Seventh East Siberian
Rifles as the true hero Of the defense
pf Port Arthur
The admiral says that Vice Admiral
Makaroff. who commanded the Rus
sian squadron at Port Arthur. and
who went down with the battleship
Petropavlovsk on April IS. dictated
the policy of inactivity on the part
OF the squadron, taking the ground
that It would be hopeless. owing to
the inferiority of the Russian naval
strength. TO engage the feet of Vice
Admiral Togo. and that it would be
unwise to divide the force defending
Port Arthur by running ships to Vladi-
yostok or to neutral ports. The adj
mlral admits that bitter friction ex-
listed between the army and the navy,
and intimates that there is a proba-
bility of inquiry into this matter by
court martial. He insists that the Rus
slams destroyed their warships at Port
Arthur beyond any possibility of sal
wage by the Japanese.

House Democrats Agree to Support
Measure introduced BY Davey.
Washington. Jan. 24.-At a caucus
attended by about 1876 of the minority
members of the house of representa-.
tives, a resolution was agreed 10 by
nearly a unanimous vote to support
the bill introduced by Representative
Davey, of Louisiana, extending au-
thority to the interstate commerce
commission to fix railway rates. The
resolution reads:
Resolved. That we hereby express
our approval of the provisions of Fl. r.
1876 (the Dayey) bill"
The Davey bill was agreed on by the
minority members OF the committee
ON interstate and foreign commerce.
Il Is very shoEt, providing only that
when the commission shall find, after
due hearing, a rate to be unreasonable,
it shall name a reasonable rate in its
place; that this rate shall go into eff
feet after 20 days notice and shall re-
main in effect until set aside by a
competent court of competent review,
and that the case may be tried in any
court taking Jurisdiction upon the
facts and testimony adduced by the
commission.
