It is said that these will be rounded up, as measures have been taken to keep a careful watch for the men who failed to report for duty.

NCHINEsE WILL SURRENDER.
Seized Japanese steamer to Be Re- IeamNd

kGUHGu.
 Pekin, March Lit is announced the Chinese government will surrender the Japanese steamer Tatsu Maru which was seized on February by the Chi nese customs cruisers outside of Macao while unloading large consignment of rifles and ammunition, the rifles numbering several hundred.
 It was originally charged that an attempt was being made to bring war supplies into China for revolutionists.
 The statement is made by officials in the Chinese government that a con- spiracy is on foot to import seven or eight hundred rifles and ammunition therefor, and the government believes that the munitions on the Tatsu Maru were intended for rebels on the Ton king border. but it has not been able to prove the act of smuggling.
 A dispatch from Tokio. yesterday stated that the Japanese Government was determined to maintain a firm po- sftion in regard to the seizure of the steamer. and that 1t would demand both an apology and an indemnity from China. It was stated also in this dispatch that the Chinese Foreign Of. flee wished to submit the entire ques. tion to mixed court. To this, how- ever, the Japanese Government would not consent unless the vessel was first released.

NOTFy MAN LEAD IN BED Body of Judge Hamilton
 Is Found. NEW YORK LEES LAWYER Defender of the Big Insurance
 Companies. He Wa. the Corporation Atto~ney Who Returned from Europe te Ap- pear Before the Investisat-
 ing Committee.
 

Albany, N. Y, March i.--Alexander Hamilton. formerly counsel to the New York Life and other insurance compa- nies and in charge for many years Of insurance legislation and litigation Tn ail parts of this country and Canada was found dead in bed this morning at his home in this city.
 He was about the city yesterday arter- noon apparently in normal health anu his death was unexpected. although he had been failing to some extent ever since the death of Mrs. Hamilton last July
 An autopsy disclosed an acute dila tion of the heart.
 Judge Hamilton, who was so called because he was twice elected Judge of the Albany City Court. was mott widely known in popular way Dy the connection of his name with discl0y- ures regarding political and Legislative matters during the insurance investiga- tion of 1905. He was at the time abroad, but returned while the Arm strong committee bills were still un- der heading before the Legislature and made sensational appearance before the committee.
 Tn a speech of great vehemence he denounced by name the directors of the New York Life, who, he claimed, had evaded responsibility which be- longed to them for acts which had been Fcriticised and had left the stigma to fall especially upon himself and upon President John A. Mccall. whose then recent death he attributed largely to the acts of these directors. Judge Hamilton's speech upon that occasion was a sensational climax to the sem sationaI investigation in which Cover nor Hughes as counsel to the Arm- strong committee first came prominent ly into public view.
 Judge Hamilton was b4 years old, having been born in Lansingburg, Aprtl 90. 1854 He was formerly Dis trict Attorney of Albany County, Clerk of the state Court of Claims and dur ing the past, ten or fifteen years had become widely known as an authority upon ccrp6ration and especially upon insurance law. The most celebrated ease in which he won and which first brought him iri- to confidential connection with the New York Life, was that in which the Court of Appeals sustained his contention that the pension contract of that com pany with former President W. H Beers providing for a life pension oi sa7. 500 a year, was invalid and against public policy.
 He was the guiding figure in import ant litigation for the New York Life and other companies in many other States and even in Europe.

 The French expedition had pene- trated far into the country when 1t was attacked with the greatest fierce ness by hordes of tribesmen, both mounted and on foot. who kept the French troops at bay throughout the day. At one time the French cavalry was surrounded by the enemy but the troopers succeeded in cutting their way out by most brilliant charge.
 The Madalxra eventually showed signs of fatigue and were beaten off. A column of the French troops push ed the advantage and gave vigorous pursuit for a distance of several miles. infiicting severe losses on the enemy.

 Washington. March 1.-In a quiet way naval officers in Washington are endeavoring to arrange a most agree able surprise for Admiral Evans when the battleship fleet under his com mand. sails through the Golden Gate and completes the Pacific cruise.
 It is proposed to greet the Rear Ad- miral with commission as Vice Ad- miraI of the American navy. Of course, the success of this undertak- . ing depends upon Congress. but the President has done his part in mak- ing a proper recommendation to that body for the re-establishment of that naval grade and it is not doubted that Congress can be induced to act upon the recommendation in season to en- sure the issue of Admiral Evans's com mission before the completion of the present cruise so that he may bear the title of Vice Admiral for the few months that will intervene between his arrival at San Francisco and his re- tirement from active service.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
 ADMIRAL COGHLAN
Whose Literary Performances Ten
 Years Ago Got Him Into Trouble.

New York, Dec 5.-Rear Admiral Coghlan's death this morning was en- tirely unexpected. He with Mrs. Cogh- Ian was living at the home of Charles Chamberlain, a former New York newspaper man in Sutton Manor. in the residence section of New Rochelle, while waiting for his new home in that city to be made ready for him.
 The admiral was seen about the streets of New Rochelle yesterday and he appeared to be as well as usual. His death occurred early this morning and was due to apopleXy.
 He had been in command of the New York navy yard since 1904. Ad- miral Coghlan, then Captain COghlan, came into some unpleasant notoriety ten years ago by reciting at ban quet in this city a poem "Hoch der Kaiser" ridiculing the emperor of Germany. This incident closely fol- lowing a friction at Manila between the commanders of German and Amer ican warships resulted in the repri- mand of Captain Coghlan by the de- partment.
