BURTON TO GO UP.
VIII Probably Be Head Of New Ap-
preparations Committee.

Washington, Jan. 3l.--Never before
in all the time he has been chairman
Of the committee on rivers and harbors
has Representative Burton held out 80
strongly against unworthy projects for
waterway Improvements as he has done
this session. Burton has. from the
first, fought projects which had no
merit, but he has heretofore been com
PEELED TO consent 70 the incorporation
in river and harbor bills OF many items
which he did not personally approve.
This year, however, he has been
flrmer, and has carried his point. He
has succeeded in keeping out Of the
river and harbor bill every item that
was Of ''log rolling" nature. He con-
sented 10 no appropriations except for
projects that have been indorsed by the
war department.
There appears TO be method in Mr..
Burton's course. When the next con-
gress organizes, Speaker Cannon will
have to select chairman for the COM
mittee on appropriations. This chair
man ought to be a man OF discrimina-
ton, a man of force and man OF high
est integrity. He must be the watch
dog OF the treasury" He must be a
man who can dominate his committee
and hold out against all appropriations
which are not necessary. He must be
able to Withstand the personal appeals
OF members.
There is not single member Of that
committee today competent to become
its chairman. And from the speakers
viewpoint, there is not a member in
the house better equipped for that
place than Mr.. Burton. Perhaps the
chairman of the river and harbor COM
mittee had the future in view when he
took the radical course he did in die
tating the terms of the present river
and harbor bill.

Talk New Railroad.

Tillamook--Another railroad propo-
sition has been made to the citizens by
Mr.. Simmons, who says he is backed
by Portland capital, to give Tillamook
county railroad connections. He made
a proposition to build standard guage
railroad from either Forest Grove or
North Yamhill, and have it constructed
within one year, provided the citizens
could get l00-foot right of way, give
$50, 900 subsidy and a suitable site for
a depot in this city. 1t is the inten-
tion to extend the line, provided it is
built to this city, to Netarts bay.

Russian Advance Ends In Dis.
aStPOuS Defeat.
AWFUL SUFFERING OF SOLDIERS
Battle Carried On in Blizzard by Jap
anese When Forced to Fight
10 Save Position.

Toxic, Jan. 81. - The troops which
twice captured Port Arthur, once from
the Chinese and then again from the
Russians, have administered defeat TO
General Kuropatkin's army from which
it cannot possibly recover during the
winter. Field Marshal Oyama has sent
dispatch to the imperial beadquar-
ters indicating that the conquerors Of
Port Arthur we're sent by him to meet
the enemy in the bloody battle just de-
cided, owing to their long practice un-
der arms and their. tried ability to
Withstand the hardships of the awful
Manchurian winter. The result Of
the struggle so far has proved the.wis-
dom Of his course.
Every dispatch received from the
front tells Of winter horrors such as no
other battling army ever had to contend
with. Many inches OF snow cover the
country as far as the eye can see. The
ridges are snow-capped. Avalanche
upon avalanche has tumbled into the
.renchs, inficting untold suffering upon
the soldiers therein.
Field Marshal 0yama's dispatches
have convinced the military authori-
ties here that he was by no means anx-
ious to engage in the battle, and, in
fact, permitted the Russians to take
several positions in his vicinity to save
the troops from the the S;;s.sspcaakahle S;;s.ssp strain
OF fighting in the storm. But the Rus
sian advance was made within such en-
ergy and determination by large bodies
of troops occupying miles of ground
that Oyama finally decided to accept
the challenge.
A large portion of General Nogi's
army, both his regulars and his re-
serves, were placed in the vanguard.
Among them were thousands of veterans
of the Chino-Japanese war, who, hay-
ing done service in Manchuria in TIE
winter, were able to make progress and
use their arms where less seasoned
troops would have been paralzyed.
The victory gained over the Russian
right army is considered here even a
greater feat than was the capture of
Port Arthur, for, while the battle
ragged, there were no trenches to seek
protection in and every shot of>the
enemy was made more deadly by the
indescribable cold. For this reason
the news from the front that Field Mar
shall Oyama is now following up his
advantage with relentless energy has
been received with amazement.

viii Abandon Contests.

Ajax-Few of the score-odd contests
instituted against Gillian county set
tiers in the vicinity at the instance of
William Twilley, of DEVILS butte, will
probably bo carried to trial, most of
the contestors having realized that sem
timent in this community and in the
county generally is against them. In
the past six weeks % homesteads in the
Ajax section have been contested.
Three or four were heard at The Dalles
and the rest were set for hearing before
the Gillian county clerk at Condor,
Feeling isbitter against Twilley.

ALASKA HAS A POOR SHOW.
Senator'S Pay Little Attention to In
terests Of Big Territory.

Washington, Jan. 81. - The deter
mination of the senate to dispose OF
the Swayne impeachment case means,
according to senate leaders, that most
of the time between now and March
will be taken up in court duty, to
the exclusion Of legislative matters,
save only the necessary supply bills.
All legislation which encounters objec-
tion will have to 60 over.
This means not only the defeat Of the
ship subsidy, interstate commerce and
statehood bills, but the defeat OF all
legislation relating to Alaska. 1t had
been hoped that several Alaskan meas
ures might be passed before adjourn
ment, but that hope has been dispelled
Plans had already been laid for bring
ing forward the Alaska delegate bill,
passed by the house last session. But
Alaska will get no delegate by the grace
of the 5Sth congress. Neither will
Alaska get much else, save what is pro.
vided in the regular appropriation bills.
Alaska is weak in the senate for two
reasons: All Alaskan legislation en-
counters opposition from few men,
but what is more significant, few SEN
ators have any real interest in the great
district, and not more than half dozen
men make any effort whatever to push
through legislation which Alaska seeks
There is more opposition to the dele
gate bill than to any other Alaska bill
now pending, and this opposition will
be able TO put quietus on the Cush-
man bill, in the present session.

CITY OF BLOOD.
Battle Rages in Warsaw Streets with
No Respect to Age or Sex.

Battle Rages in Warsaw Streets with
No Respect to Age or Sex.
Warsaw, Jan. 31.-Another day and
half night of horrors have passed.
AS this dispatch is sent, the city is
ruled by savage mobs and more savage
soldiers. Both are intent upon killing.
No official statements are obtainable at
this hour, but when the cost in human
lives comes to be counted there will be
found dead by the hundreds-men,
women and children.
Everybody-young and old, men,
women and children-was attacked by
the soldiers and ruthlessly shot down.
One soldier aimed sabre, blow at a
woman. In self defense she drew re-
volver and fred a shot, which went
wild. A second later volley was di-
rected at her, and she fell dead, riddled
by score of bullets. This is but one
OF hundred instances.
For the most part the soldiers who
rode and tramped through the streets
during the late afternoon of Monday
were drunk. They seemed to take
particular delight in attacking harmless
persons. They killed for the mere
sake of killing.

Kansas City, Jan. 31.-Two hundred

the purpose of raising a fund for the
aid of the working classes of Russia
The czar and aristocratic class of Rus
sia were condemned in the strongest
terms at command. One speaker COM
pared the czar to Ex-Governor Peabody,
of Colorado. Resolutions were passed
expressing sympathy with the op-
pressed and denouncing the czar.

Manila, Jan. S1.-Habeas corpus has

bin is heartily cooperating with Gov
ernor Wright, and is giving him every
possible aid in suppressing lawlessness.
Federal troops consisting of detachments
of picked sharpshooters work in con-
junction with the native scouts and the
constabulary. Federal troops garrison
the towns and martial law has prac-
tically been established, The present
situation in the two provinces is partly
due to raids of ladrones.
