Monday, February 20.

The house passed the naval appro-
priation bill carrying a total of $685.
914,S59. The provision for two battle
ships as reported by the committee on
naval affairs was retained.
Whether the senate conferees on the
statehood bill shall represent the party
that defeated joint statehood for Ari-
xona and New Mexico or the party that
fought for the retention Of that provis-
ion was debated at length today, but no
decision was reached.
The Swayne trial was taken up at 2
o'clock. Two witnesses were exam

ida statutes relating TO suits Of eject
ment or disqualification Of judges had
been read it was announced that the
case OF the house managers was con-
cluded. The preliminary statement

Chairman Burton Sure AppfOpfla.
tIOn Bill VIII Pass.
ITS FATE RESTS WITH SENATE
Only Danger 10 that Load Of Amend
msnts May Sink II In the
Upper House.

Washington, Feb. 2S. - Chairman
Burton, Of the rivers and harbors com.
mlttee, expressed the belief today
that his bill, consideration Of which
was begun In the house yesterday, will
pass both houses and become law before
March 4.
There has been growing fear that
this bill would be sidetraeked, not only
because OF the demands Of party leaders
for economy, but because Of the un.
precedented late date In bringing II up
for consideration. Only eight days re-
main to pass II through both houses
and through conference, less time than
was ever before given any river and
harbor bill.
Burton, however, says the shortage OF
time Is n strong factor in favor Of the
passage Of the bill. II will induce the
senate to make only slight amendments,
for fear Of losing what is proposed by the
house. He says that unies= the senate
loads the bin down with large amend
ments, II will pass without material
objection, carrying practically the ap-
preparations agreed TO by the house
committee.

Russian Raiders Violate Neutrality

Tientsin, Feb. 90. - About 800 Rus
sian raiders slightly damaged the rail-
way between Haicheng and Tatchekiao
on Monday night and again disregarded
the neutrality of the territory west Of
OF the Lao river. The presence OF Chi
nese soldiers was not reported. II is
evident that the villagers kept the Rus
slams well informed as TO the disposi.
tion OF the Japanese troops. 1t was ex-
pected that the raiders woud repeat
the attempt to destroy the Japanese
stores at Niuchiatun, but they retired
without an engagement.

LIFE IN ONLY ONE.
6lackened and Mangled Corpses Re-
moved from Alabama Mine.


Birmingham, Ala, Feb, 22.-The
scene at the Virginia mine this after
noon, where a terrific afterdamp explo-
sion yesterday afternoon imprisoned
ll6 men 700 feet below the surface,
was the most gruesome and narrowing
that has ever been witnessed in this
section of Alabama. OF the miners
who entered the mines yesterday after
noon, so far only so bodies have been
recovered. The recovery already OF so
many dead bodies precludes the idea
that any living men remain among the
unfortunates still in the mine. The
corpses are frightfully mangled and
disfgured and Identification is almost
impossible.
Out OF the 80 bodies recovered up TO
this time, one was found about
O'Clock which was barely alive. The
body was carefully taken from the mine
and heroic methods resorted to TO bring
the man TO consciousness. He is still
alive, but scant hope 10 held out for
his recovery.

FAVOR COAST sHIPYARos.
Humphrey Pleads for DifFerential on
Naval Contracts.

Washington, Feb. 2l.--An earnest
effort is being made by coongressmen
from the Pacific coast to have inserted
in the naval appropriation bill a pro-
vision for a per cent differential in
favor OF shipyards on the West coast in
the contract price for warships con-
structed in these yards. Representa-.
tive Humphrey, of Washington, today
strongly urged the president to advo-
cate such differential. II adopted,
the differential would increase the cost
TO the governmnt of battleship con-
structd on the Pacific coast about $3.50.
600. This sum, Humphrey explained,
would not be in the form of additional
profit to the constructing company, as
the shipment from the East OF neces.
sary material entering into the vessels
would amount to $165, 900.

TERMS OF PEACE.
They Have Bean Practically Agreed
Upon by Japan and Russia.

upon pf Japan ana Nuesle'
st, Petersburg, Feb, 29. - Despite
the official denials, the Publishers'
Press correspondent is In a position to
state that the czar and his advisers
have Of late not only discussed the
question Of peace with Japan, but have
also practically agreed upon certain
terms, which are acceptable to the EN-.
peror, and, II is alleged, are almost
identical with those which have been
submitted by the Japanese government
to Russia through the agency Of the
German emperor. II ls still denied
that such terms were submitted, but Il
is nevertheless true that they have
reached the hands OF the cEar.
The terms acceptable TO both nations,
and practically agreed TO by the cxar,
place Korea under Japanese suGerainty
and cede Port Arthur and the Liao
Tung peninsula TO Japan.
Vladivostok, under the stipulations,
is to be declared neutral and open
port in place Of Port Arthur, the neu.
traliEation Of which Japan would not
agree to. This feature, Iit is stated,
proved one OF the most Objectionable to
Russia, as II was hoped that the dis
armament of Port Arthur and its trans
formation into purely commercial
port, open 20 all nations, would end the
vexing Manchurian question,
The Eastern Chinese railway Is TO be
placed under neutral international
administration, and, In order TO pro.
vide some sort Of safeguard for future
peace in Manchuria, that country, as
far north ~ Harbin, is to be restored
as an integral part Of China.
The main difficulty in the way OF
bringing about immediate peace seems
to be the question Of indemnity. II is
known that Japan will insist upon n
considerable money payment, and Rus
STA is not willing TO submit 10 that con-
dition. The difficulty, however, is by
no means insupcrable, but II IL should
prove 10 be q serious obstacle, the cxar
will perhaps be willing TO risk another
battle in the hope of gaining a victory
which may make the Japanese more
amenable to the Russian arguments.

along the Austrian border is also caus-
ing great uneasiness.

PRIZES OFFERED BY NATIONS
For Killing Off Cactus, Establishing New Business, Finding New Methods.

From Tit Bits.
 Many persons, no doubt, will con clude that there is practically no chance of securing such desirable prizes as the large sums of money five prizes, each worth GS000-offered by the Noble bequest where it is abso- lutely needful to have attainments of a learned and brilliant nature; yet, a study of the following particulars of prizes which are being offered today will show that there are other splen- dl. opportunities we'll within the scope of most people.
 Among the many varieties of cactus there is one which is known as the prickly pear; it is ra..ler attractive looking plant, but its leaves are GOV cred with hair sharp enough to pierce the hands of any one who is so rash as to touch it. The plant came origi- nally from America, but after it was introduced in some manner or other into Queensland it spread so rapidly and to such an extent that in some districts it has practically destroyed all other vegetation. The Queensland government is still offering reward OI d oUUU lO duy Oue WuO Cdu ucfiSe method by which it can be complete | ly eradicated.
