HOUSE COMMITTEE ON MILITARY
AFFAIRS PUTS FOOT DOWN IN
NO UNCERTAIN TERMS
THIS MORNING.
Padded Mileage Accounts viii Be Cut
Out and officers Travelling on
Transports on War Department
Business Will Not Be Allowed to
Collect for Same-Astonishinsly
Small Loss in Transport Meade.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2.-Congress
has decided to cut out all gratis, and
begins with the army. The house com
mittee on military affairs today put its
foot down in no uncertain terms. They
have prepared a bill, which congress
will doubtless act upon, stopping all
leakage in the army, especially in the
mileage accounts, which have been
padded by military officers in the last
year, showing a loss to the govern
ment of $4,000. 1t is proposed also to
stop the use of the army transports
by officials, members of congress or
outsiders, who now use the vessels for
excursion purposes when they want to
take a run over to Honolulu, Japan or
the Philippines. The committee says
that an officer under orders to the Phil
ippines should have his expenses paid
between this country and Manila; that
they have found that officers have
taken pay for their travelling expenses
to Nagaski, Japan, Shanghai or Hong
Kong. China, when they have Travelled
on transports. Sometimes they would
go by way of Europe and charge over
5000 mileage. All this is stopped, and
other leaks in the army are to be
ended.

TYPOS TO JAIL.
Agree to Serve Time for Fine Against
Union.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 2.-Five hundred
members of Typographical union No.
16 have voted to go to jail. AS they
are on strike, they estimated they
they might save the $1,000 fine as,
sessed against the union by Judge Hol
den if they were permitted to work
out the amount in prison.
After the resolution was adopted a
committee was sent to Attorney w. H.
Barnum to learn if there was any hope
for the strikers to break into Jail and
in that manner satisfying justice. They
were disappointed when their attorney
told them that if the fine is upheld by
the higher courts it will have to be
paid, and that there is no prospect of
the debt being liquidated by the strik-
ers going to Jail.

Third Officer Sayer. who was among
those saved by the Mannheim, today
said that he does not believe the full
complement was on board his steamer,
as some Of the crew deserted before
the British King sailed from this port
last Tuesday. He says he believes that
not more than eighteen were drowned
when the steamer sank. The eleven
men who reached the Iifeboat which
carried them to the Mannheim jumped
from the deck of the sinking steamer
into the sea where they kept afloat by
swimming until the lifeboat had picked

Anti-Semitic Agitation in Russia
May Rebound to Benefit of
the Jews.

st. Petersburg, March 15.-Out of the
violent anti-semitic agitation may come
unexpected good to the members of the
oppressed race The entire Jewish
question has been raised in acute form
and may be settled forthwith. The
emperor is said TO be amazed at the
revelations made by the Jewish dep
utation which the premier received in
audience March Z, and to have in
formed Count Witte that it was neces-
sary to settle the question.
Count White is understood to have
talked quite bIuntIy to his majesty re-
garding the innumerable difficulties
which his opponents were raising on
this and other questions and he is said
to have gone to the extent of request
ing permission to resign the premier
ship. The emperor, it is added, would
not listen to it
A bill according the Jews equality ex-
cept in eligibility to possession in the
official and military service, is now said
to have been prepared. Leading Jews
of the empire, like Baron Gunsberg,
however knowing full we'll the hostil-
ity of a large class of Russians to the
Jews and fearing an adverse discussion
which would only further prejudice
the position of their co-religionists, are
opposed TO the submission of the ques-
ton to the assembly.
They maintain that the manifesto of
Oct 80 specifically declared that all
subjects were equal before the law;
that the question is already settled,
and that it is the duty of the govern
ment to Immediately promulgate a
law providing equality and to protect
the Jews in the exercise Of their rights.
Not Meeting With Success.
The efforts of the social and radical
elements to produce another uprising
and a general strike as a protest
against the repressions are not meeting
with much success and seem to be
doomed to failure for the present The
leaders. however, declare that If the
repression continue, as they expect it
will. IT viii require some sudden, sensa-
tionaI development to again set the
country aflame.

pleading, were heard by the wife in the

which ran from this room to the office
of an apartment house and told a maid
who answered her ring to hurry to the
apartment and release her. The maid
entered the apartment too late to save
Miss Reynolds life. As she opened the
door, she heard NOSser saying to the
woman, There's no use for you and I
to live any longer. The best thing I
can do is to kill you and kill myself

the temple and himself in the fore
head, both dying almost instantly.
