All But One Amendment to
 the Army Bill
BACK TO CONFERENCE
The Miles hatter Again Becomes a Subject of Controversy = The Amendment Favorable to the Gen. eral Is Quite Unacceptable.

Washington, Feb. 22.-After a brief but spirited debate the house today sent back to conference the crmy ap- Elents were again disagreed to with the single exception of one appropriating $95,OOO for continuing the cable from Valdez to Seward, Alaska. There was renewed discussion over the provi- sion regarding retired officers serving with militia, the name of General Nel- son A. Miles once more figuring con- spicuOusly in the debate.
 Determined oposition was developed to 2 motion by MT. Ames of Massa- chuSettS to agree to the senate amend ment on that subject which is favor able. to the retention of full retired pay by General Miles and other officers of high rank serving with militia organi- cations. The remainder of the day was devoted to the consideration of the river and harbOr bill.
 A resolution was agreed to in the house, authorizing the president to con vey to foreign governments participat- ing in the Louisiana purchase exposi- tiOn the grateful appreciation of the government for contributing to the success of the undertaking.
 The house committed on public lands today authorized favorable report on the Grosvenor resolution calling on the secretary of the interior for informa- ton as to whether the lands which have been withdrawn for irrigation purposes are by any technicaIity being taken uI under the homestead act.

THE CIGARETTE TRUST
An Attempt to Bribe an Indiana Leg
 iSlatOr.

Indianapolis. Ind, Feb. 22.-When the Parks anti cigarette bill came up in the house of representatives today. Representative Baker of Fulton county created a sensation. In explaining his vote for the bill. he opened a sealed letter which he declared had been sent him by "The Cigarette Trust" and took out hundred dollar bill which he waved before the astonished members.
 The effect was apparent in the inn mediate overwhelming vote in favor of the bin which was passed by a vote of "A to IT. MT. Baker refused to ex- pose the name of the person who had sent him the money for his vote against the bill. He called a page and putting the bill back into the envelope, sent it to Speaker Cantwell. MT. Cantwell later ordered an investigation to as- certain who sent the money to MT. Baker.

It Resulted in Little But
 the Discovery of Peril.
THE QUESTION OF PEACE
No Developments But a Continuation of RumOrs Which Are Regarded as Hopeful Signs Tn the Meantime the Japanese Relax no Efforts.

Mukden, Feb. 22.-A company Of Cossacks which has returned from a long and perilous reconnaissance in tn. direction of Korea, penetrated by mountain paths as far as Agouufn. eighteen miles northwest of YaIu where they found and burned a large depot of Japanese provisions. Turn ing south, the Russians captured a few miles distant a transport of supplies of which the small command was in great need. During the course of the night the Japanese surrounded the command on three sides. The position of the Russians was desperate, but happily for them, their Chinese guide found a mountain pass by which they escaped to khuaizhen mountain, 100 miles due north of the mouth of the Yalu river whence they rejOined the army by way of little known trails.
 The news of General Grippenberg' $ attack on General Kuropatkin has caused great excitement at Russian headquarters and in army circles Gen eral Grippenburgs departure was a surprise as he had received no orders from General Kuropatkin to quit his post. He left Manchuria without talk ing leave of the commander in chief Even General Grippenburg's friends say that no matter whatever grievances he may have had the present is not a fit time for venting personal feelings when the army must bend all its efforts to secure victory.

sion gives no opinion on the question of the presence or absence of Japanese torpedo boats in the North sea declar- ing that the Russian admiral believ- ed his squadron was endangered and that he had a right under the circum- stances to act as he did
 The commissioners refer to the Rus sian governments engag cement to in demnify the victims of the deplorable incident. The report will be sent to- morrow by special messengers to the Russian and British governments not because it is liable to notifications at the instance of one or the other of the governments, the commission decision being without apeal, but the commits sioners do not wish the powers inter ested simply to learn through the press of the public sitting and the conclu- siOns arrived at. There is nothing in this preliminary communication or re- port except an act of deference." A public sitting for the reading of the conclusions will probably be held Sat urday.

LAST HOPE ABANDONED
None Will Be Found Alive in the
 Virginia Hines.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 22.-At s o'clock this evening seyenty-five black ened disfigured bodies have been recov- cred from the Virginia mines, in which an awful explosion occurred on Monday afternoon, entombing more than 150 of the best miners in Birmingham dis trict. Tomorrow will be a day of fun erals in Virginia City, Bessemer, Pratt City and Ensley. The bodies have been taken to Besemer as fast as they were identified.
 The rescuers are heroically at work in the stope and as the diggers advance the bodies further in the mine are found to be worse burned and mutilat- ed than those nearer the exterior. No hope is held out that any of the men can be alive.

OSAGE OIL LAND LEASE
A Texan Develops Inquisitiveness
 on the Subject.

Washington. Feb. 22.-AnOther chap ter in the Osage oil lease incident de veloped today when Representative Stevens of Texas. introduced two re- solutions in the house addressing tu- quiries to the secretary of the inter for regarding the Foster lease of oil and gas lands belonging to the osase Indians. One resolution calls on the secretary to furnish the house with a copy of the Foster lease and all sub leases under that parent lease, giving the dates Of approval or rejection and all correspondence on the subject The other resoIution-asks under what act of congress the Foster lease was made. and under what authority the sub leases were approved.
 The secretary is asked whether he did not ratify the sublease of the Ala meda company and whether this was not the first sub-lease so ratified and whether he had not previously refused to ratify sub leases. The resolutions ask not only for the date of the rltt- ffcation of the Alameda lease. but also calls for 9 list of the officers. direct ors. and stockholders of the Alameda company with information as to whe- ther any of these persons are person ally known or in any way related 10 him (the secretary) and if so the name of such person and how related
