here, who are conducting series of
arrests in house searches as the result
of the information obtained from the

ing almost nightly battles. with the
terrorists and fighting legion organi-
cations of revolutionists. During the

the police had one man killed and a
lieutenant, sergeant and patrol
man wounded The most serious af-
fair occurred in the most respectable
quarter on Basil street, a short dis
lance from the scene of the bomb ex-
plosion of Jan. II. A detachment of
police, which attempted to storm a
suspected dwelling, was met with con.
tinuous volleys from revolvers and
rifles and was finally compelled to
withdraw with the loss of three men.
A force of cavalry was summoned and
after three voneys the revolutionists
surrendered. An attack on house
occupied by revolutionists of st. Pc
tersburg island was repulsed, police
man being wounded, and the garrison
escaped in the darkness before the
arrival Of troops which had been sum-
mOned.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The house

hearing during the day to Represen-

of California, the committee named by
Pacific coast representatives to oppose

Chinese at ports In China from which

they resent any revision or change, as
they fear that it will lead to a further
relaxation of the exclusion act.

charge of piracy he also represented
the owners of the vessel and even
instituted action in the United States
district court for the District Of Co.
lumbia to insure the payment of his
fee out of the money awarded to the
vessel owners.
Charges to-Be Looked Into.
Representatives Champ Clark and
John Sharp Williams questioned Mr..
Elliott carefully about the charge and
said that it reflected so seriously upon
the administration that it must be
looked into carefully.
The chief purpose of Professor ELI,
OFT in appearing before the committee,
he explained, was to have the United
States annul the lease of the sealing
privileges on the Pribiloff islands
which it has granted to the North
American Commercial company. He
stated to the committee that the off,
GERS of the company perjured them
selves when they obtained the lease,
as they swore they were not engaged
in pelagic sealing. In spite Of this
oath, he says, they equipped the J..
Hamilton Lewis, in command of Cap
tain Alexander McClain, which Pro-
fessor Elliott alleges was rightfully
seized by the Russian government.
This seizure was in 1901 and Mr.. ELI
oft made the statement that Mr..
Peirce's activity in collecting fee
from the vessel owners was in 1903.

TAKEN BEHIND CLOSED DOORS,

Foraker Objects to Evidence Against
Negro Troops.
Washington, Jan. 15.-Immediatel
after the reading Of the presidents
message on the Brownsville incident
In the senate Mr.. Foraker discussed
the subject briefly. He said he was
not going to make a speech, "but
few remarks" and observed that the
testimony amounted to a great deal,
for the president tells us it is con-
clusive. But it does not remove the
objection I have had from the begin
ning of this proceeding.
What I have been trying to con-
tend for, and hope it will be success
full, is to secure hearing for the
men charged with this serious crime.
This testimony has been taken as the
other was, behind closed doors, with
out anybody representing the men.
THAT Is the reason I shall not de-
sist, notwithstanding what the pres
ident has said as to the character of
1t, from pressing for an investigation
of the subject where especially the
men who are charged with the crimes
of murder, perjury and conspiracy can
be heard to the end that if they can
establish any facts in their favor they
may have an opportunity to do So"
Mr.. Foraker added that he should
reserve his discussion Of the new EVIL
dence submitted by the president un-
til after the investigation, If we shall
order one, Ito be made in accordance
with the spirit Of American institu-
tions,' where every man, no matter
how humble he may be, shall have an
opportunity to be heard"
After that investigation, Mr.. For
aker said, he should have something
to say about the present testimony.
Later in the day Senator Mallory of
Florida, addressing the senate on the
Brownsville affair, remarked that in
his opinion the proposed senatorial in
vestigation would amount to nothing.
The evidence that negro soldiers shot
up the town was sufficient, he said, to
secure a verdict of guilty by any i'm
partial jury.

San Francisco, Jan. 15.-A quaking
of the earth's crust, more severe than
any one that has ever been recorded,
is reported to have been felt at Apia,
Samoa, Dec. II, according to a report
brought from there by the Australian
liner Ventura, just arrived here. For
three hours the seismograph of the
German scientists stationed at the
South Pacific island recorded a shock
that for violence has never been
equaled SO far as has been registered.
It is estimated that the center of
the disturbance was 900 miles south
of Apia. The news of the Instruments
record was brought to the Ventura by
Captain Allen Of the Maori, the boat
that runs between Page Page and
Apia. The point of disturbance was
submarine.

An election contest case has
recently been decided in Clay
County by Judge M. D. Taylor
that is of unusual interest.
Archie WhaIey was a candidate
in the primary election for the
Office of sheriff, but failed to get
the required mum Der of votes,
J. M. Bayer winning the nomi-
nation. At the general election
Whaley's friends were busy and
his name was written in on
enough ballots to give him the
election on the face of the
returns.
It is generally understood that
the primary law provides that a
person who has been a candidate
at the primary election can not
become a candidate at the gen.
eral election for the Office pre-
viousIy sought. On this ground
the case was taken into court,
and was heard by Judge Taylor.
In a long memorandum Judge
Taylor recltes the facts proven
in the case holding that mas.
much as the legality of the cleo
ton has not been questioned nor
the legal qualifications of the
voters, the minor part that it was
proven Sherlff-elect WhaIey took
in the campaign will not deprive
him of the Office to which be
was elected.
The holding is to the effect
that the fact that the law pro-
vides for blank spaces on the
ballots is sufficient to sustain the
election where Whaley's name
was written in by a majority of
the voters.

Germany.
Berlin, Jan. 15.-The campaign Of
the Socialists apparently is making
Roadway and in official circles it Is
stated that the kaiser Is worried. The
Socialists are confident Of victory, but
they are not permitting their CAM
paign to lag. They are we'll supplied
with money and are contesting 1913
out of the 1917 election districts in the
empire.
The government adherents are using
the foreign bugaboo in their campaign,
but it seemingly is having little effect.
The contrasts between the candi-
dates in some of the districts is strik-
ing. In Gotha Socialist shoemaker
is running against the hereditary
prince, nephew by marriage Of King
Edward. In another district a So.
cialist miller is contesting against one
Of the kaiser's favorites.
The Socialists are using arguments
against the great increase in army
and navy expenditures, but their
strongest point apparently with the
electors is that which they make
against the increased power the kaiser
exercises in governing the empire.

Washington, Jan. 15.-When the

senate Senator Gallinger, who had
given notice of an amendment increas-

cause of the intention of some SEN

the amendment he should not present
it, but rely on separate legislation to
accomplish this purpose.
Mr.. Dubois regretted that nothing
was to be done. He was one of the
senators who lived on his salary and
knew the difficulty of SO doing. "A
number of senators delivered lectures,
he said, in order to make the neces-
sary addition to their senatorial sal
aries. The notice given by Senator
Gallinger Is taken as an indication
that no action to raise congressional
salaries will be successful at present
