AMERICA LEARNS
 MUCH FROM LAPS
JlU JlTSU WILL PROBABLY BE INTRODUCED IN BOTH THE MA VAL AND MILITARY ACADEMY. CONSIDERED BY CABINET.

Washington. January H.-America is learning lessons from the Russo-Japanese war which will prove valuable to both the army and navy of the United States. Some of these lessons were considered at the meeting of the cabinet today and the discussion which ensued will result in definite action within a few days. Sometime ago President Roosevelt direct ca attention through letters to Secre- tares Taft and Morton to the desirabil- ity of encouraging by every means pos sible, the physical development of cadets at both the military ard naval academies,
 Subsequently, the suggestion was made lat instructors be employed at the acad- emes to teach the science of Jiu-Jitsu, the Japanese method of wrestling. At the meeting today the entire subject was con- sidered very fully. It was concluded to appoint a joint military and naval board to study the matter with the idea of supplying the cadets at the two national academies with instructions not only in wrestling but in sword exercises and other forms of exercise which might prove of value to the cadets in personal encounters It was pointed out that the present war ndu deNelopeu an unuSuai number of night attacks in which the attacking force usually was In very close proximity to the enemy before 1t was discovered The result was hand to hand encounters in which swords, lances, re- vovers and personal strength of the com batants figured mat erially In many of these fights, the Japanese, through their superior knowledge of sword play and their remarkable agility had overcome their opponents. It was announced after the meeting that an order forming the proposed board would be issued soon.
 The cabinet also discussed the subject of government supervision of wireless tele- graphy.
 It is likely that Secretaries Morton and Taft will bring the subject to the at tention of Congress in a formal way recommending the legislation they deem desirable

GOV. PEABODY WILL
 FIGHT TO THE FINISH
Says He Could Not Be Driven Out of the Contest With a Pack of
 Bloodhounds.

Denver, Colo, January H.-Former Gov ernor James H. Peabody denied today a report that he intended to withdraw his contest for the governorship or that he had been approached with any proposition for a compromise.
 You could not drive me out of the con- test with a pack of bloodhounds." said the ex-governor. q entered the contest with a determination to probe the frauds to the bottom, and I will be there at the finish. If the legislature in joint session declares me elected, l shall take my seat. If it declares Mir. Adams elected, 1 shall gracefully step down."
 At the hearing of the Peabody Adams contest before the joint legislative com mittee today six handwriting experts re- ported on ten Denver precincts. Accord ing to their opinion 739 out of 2S24 bal lots examined were written by two or three persons. Counsel for the contestor expects to finish this week with the ex- pert testimony in the Denver precincts.

News of the Russian Troubles
 Reaches Manchuria
DETERMINED TO WIN NOW
Officers Are Depressed and Indignant That Aeitators Should Seize the Present Moment to Cause
 Trouble at Home.

Russian Headquarters, Huan Mountain, Manchuria, January 21.-Whle the news of tine strike disorders anl shooting tt St. Petersburg and otle' o.,es has Gnt rermeated the bulk of an and file of the army, it has produced among the higher officers feeling of depression and indignation that agitators should seize d moment when the country is plunged in a war, and when the army is about to enter on a decisive campaign to precipi- tate disorder. and above all endanger the supply of munitions by strikes at the ar senals and outfitting works.
 The time to settle family qparre els and internal problems, it is believed here. is after the war clouds have cleared away and not when the army needs the united support of the country behind it.
 stirring editorial ip the Manehurian Army Messenger, the official journal calls on the army to perform It's appointed task regardless of occurrences at home, and thus shame the malcontents into patriot ism.
 After commenting on the speed with which news. good or bad, half circles the globe and reaches the army, the article goes on: We face the news as warriors. However grievous it may be, our con- science is not clouded. The spirit with which the soldiers learn of ills shows that they look on matters rightly an. with un- ceasing fortitude and manliness. The'stay- at-homes should understand that the events now happening in St. Petersburg and Moscow only show that agitators have banded with the intention of causing more trouble by exciting workmen to dis turbance. These same people not long ago said Russia should end the war and beg for peace. Further than this they drive the workmen to strike in order to hamper the manufacture of munitions of war. They err greatly, for even if they hinder and delay the delivery of supplies the Russian army of half a million in the far east with means on hand ril accomplish the given task. Neither inaehinations nor uprisings will stay our work. More than at any time victory now is necessary to Russia. and victory shall come, no mat ter what it costs

BOND QUESTION
 PLAYS ITS PART
SENATOR BACON, DOES NOT WANT OUTSTANDING SOUTH ERIN BONDS TO BE SUBJECTS FOR ARBITRATION.

Washington, January N-Arbitrat ton treaties were considered today by the Senate committee on foreign relations and Senator Bacon made the assertion that action on the various treaties can not be had until they are amended to protect the interest of southern states in the matter of outstanding bonds held ia foreign countries, which bonds have been repudiated by the states. He offered as an amendment to the treaties the pro- visions of the Olney- Pauncefote treaty for the maintenance of state rights. Senator Bacon's amendment proposes to add article one of the arbitration treaty as follows:
 Nor shall any claim against any state of the United States, alleged to be due to the government, or to any citizen thereof be the subject of arbitration un- der this treaty"
 second amendment proposes to add to article two. the following:
 Provided, that any agreement to sub init, together with it's Foundations. shall in every case before it becomes final be communicated by the President of the United States to the Senate for it's ap- proval and to be concurred in by two thirds of the senator's present"
 The committee adjourned with the un- derstanding that the case would be taken up again at the meeting.

O., January 27.-Judge Wing of the United States circuit court today handed down a decision in the test case brought by the interstate commerce com mission against the Lake Shore and other railroad companies to compel the latter to restore hay and straw from the sixth to the fifth classification in freight rates.

MANCHURIA HAS
 BITTER WEATHER
RUSSIANS HAVE PICKED OUT A BAD TIME FOR THE ATTACK NOW BEING MADE ON THE JAP ANESE.

General Kurokis Headquarters, Jan uary H.-Regular Manchurian weather prevails tonight, intense cold with cut ting winds swirling the snow in every direction. Cannonading was heard at in- tervals along the entire line this morn- ing. The Russian artillery was feeling out the whole Japanese line. It is un- certain If this will bring a general en- gagement or not. The Japanese guns re- trained from replying to the Russians. except on the left where the fighting which ceased at dark yesterday was re- sumed this morning
 The clouds of fog and snow made it impossible to see more than a few hun dred away. The Russians gunnery fire was largely guess work Early this after noon the firing stopped.
 If the Russian operations were pre- Iiminary to a general attack, as was nos sible, their plan was frustrated by the storm and fog. They could not have chosen a worse time The hardships of the soldiers camping on the plains, where there is no shelter or fuel and but little water are the worst yet encountered in this war;.

RUSSIANS ONCE MORE
 BECOME AGGRESSIVE

St. Petersburg. January N.-General Ku- ropatl1in, under date of January 25, tele- graphed as follows to Emperor Nicholas:
 ''The advance has commenced of our right flank agai,,st the enemy. We have occupied Khailatosa and Khaigoutaya."
 General Kuropatkin adds:
 'No details have been received of the losses at Khai,atosa and Khaigoutaya, which are several verts south of Sande- pas. We occupied Khaiatosa without firing, the Japanese being bayoneted. Khaigoutaya was braVely defended, but we finally occupied it at 10 o'clock at night. Our cavalry pursued two regi- monts of Japanese dragons, which fled southeastward
 "On our left flank detachment re- pulsed the Japanese and occupied a defie between Khatandiensan and EXpansan. Another detachment sent against the e.iemy's flank ;4ear Hindkecheng forced the Japanese to retire and captured 200 e tile"
 supplementing the foregoing General Kuropatkin says:

TOMORROW MAY BRING TROUBLE Further Demonstrations Are
 Expected in Russia SOME RIOTIAG IN WARSAW Many Strikers Have Returned to Work In Moscow, But Employers Fear
 They Will Strike Again
 Sunday.
SOME RIOTING IN WARSAW

Moscow. January 27.-The day passed off quietly It is now almost certain that the strike movement in Moscow and it's im- mediate vicinity will wear itself out with in a few days. The printers returned to work this afternoon, and two more fac- tories south of the river have reopened. but it Is suspected that t e men are try ing to evade the order that they should not be paid unless they resumed work, and that after receiving their wages to- morrow they may again strike. The man. ufacturers, therefore, will not be quite re- assured until Sunday has gone by, but they remain confident of the ability of the troops to put down disturbances. Their confidence, combined with the an- nouncement that the minister of finance is studying the statement of the mems grievances, explains the eeeision of the manufacturers meeting not to make col- lective concessions.
 The Douma in an extraordinary session this afternoon decided to take precaution- ary measures to safegurd the water. gas and electric works in the event of riot ing, and also appointed a special com mittee to investigate the causes of the present movement. This committee Is likely to become an intermediary for mas ters and men. and help them to adjust their difficulties.
 Alarming reports have been received from Ivanovo-V -Veznesansk, the Russian Manchester. There are 2O0,00O factory hands there. and only a few hundred troops. Endorsements will be sent there immediately. There is no confirmation so far of reports of serious disturbances

FINE RECORD IS
 MADE BY CRUISER Maryland May Prove Fastest
 of Her Class SHE GOES ABOVE 22 KNOTS Warshlp Showed Herself Remarkably Steady Under the Severe Winter Conditions-Has Quick Work
 Ing Steering Gear.
SHE GOES ABOVE p KNOTS

Boston, January 27-With wintry north west winds striking her abeam, the ar mcred cruiser Maryland. which was built Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry dock company, attained on her official trial trip today an average speed of p. 30 knots per hour. thereby exceeding her contract requirement. of 22.0 knots. The Maryland is the fourth and last type of fast cruisers to have a trial over Cape Ann. Of the three which have preceded, the Pennsylvania, the speediest, averaged a speed of 22.0 3-5 knots an hour. It can not be said. however. at this time, that the Pennsylvania is queen of the class, for 1t was unoffcially announced by the trial board today that the tidal correc- tions for the Maryland are in the ships favor by from Il to 1s-one-hundredths of knot If this tidal correction is over
 124 of a knot, the Maryland will become the holder of the speed record for the class.
 The Pennsylvania and the Colorado, which made 2224 knots, were built by the Cramp Shipbuilding company of Philadel- phia. The West Virginia, the third sis ter ship of the Maryland, was built by the Newport News company. This ship averaged a speed of 2214 on her official run.
 The Maryland's third trial was attend ed by circumstances of unusual interest, as her builders endeavored to prove her the speediest of the four cruisers of this type. The trial was regarded as most successful, particularly with reference to the general sea behavior, the warship showing herself remarkably steady under the severe winter conditions.
 The trial course extended from Thatch- CTS Island of Gloucester, to Cape Por- boise, A knots, and the run was out and return, SS knots.
 As the warship cut her way through the seas the water was sprayed in geat masses over her bow, and falling on the deck and rigging froze immediately.
 The Maryland was found to have quick working steering gear. The ship estab- lished a record for the throwing of helm hard over when she described a figure eight at the conclusion of the official run. During the trial the two engines of the cruiser developed an average horse- power of 27.000.

 From the nature of the evidence sub mitted to the committee 1t is clear that litigants who have been before the court and fancy theselves aggrieved because of the rulings of the judge or the final adjudication Jf the case frame up their charges along the lines on which they counted the court should have proceeded, rather than by presenting proofs that would stand legal scrutiny as showing where the judge erred. In other words, it is declared that the charges submit ted are in the nature of personal griev ances and are not sufficiently broad and comprehensive to be of any use what ever in impeachment proceedings.

straw from the fifth to the sixth class. The railroad companies refused to com ply with the order and the interstate commerce commission brought a test suit against the Lake Shore.
 In the course of his decision Judge Wing said:
 T find that the order as an entirety is beyond the power of the commission to make, and, therefore, Is not lawful order and is not an order which this court is 1apowered by the statutes to en- fq'%N
 "A eS. .uing Judge Wing said:
 .|nS action of the railroad in estab- $S the freight classification was pure- So oluntary on their part and was not S luired of them by law. The classifica .ons were merely the means that the railroads employed to comply with the interstate commerce commission rule rel alive to publishing freight classifcations.
 Tt is undeniable that the commission has not the lawful right to fix freight rates on railroads. That is admitted"
 The court then went on to say that the action of the commission in ordering a change in the freight rates amounted to fixing these rates. As such it was ua- lawful, he declared.
