cision may be reached before March

What action Japan will take In the
event she decides Immediately to take
"independent action" Is matter of
speculation In diplomatic circles in
Toxic. 1t is believed that it is en-
tirely improbable that Japan will
make any effort TO retake the Tatsu

While war is considered most improb-
able, the naval base at Sasebo is ex-
tremely active. 1t Is announced that
a part of the first squadron will leave

Chicavoda suddenly left port Sunday

At the office of the admiralty ii is

Sasebo should not necessarily be con-
sidered in connection with the Tatsu

Senate Provides 40 Per Gent Raise for
Enlisted Men.

The army pay bill was passed by the
United States senate Friday. The bill
provides for army officers a graded in
crease OF pay ranging from per cent
for lieutenant general to 25 per cent
for junior officers.
1t also provides that the average
pay Of enlisted men of the army az
now established be increased 40 per
cent"
This amendment. suggested by Sem
ator Culberson. of Texas. takes away
the discretion of the president In fix
Ing the pay of soldiers.
Senator Scott read letter from a
banker who stated army officers pay
rer cent interest per month to have
their salaries discounted because their
incomes are so small
An amendment was offered by Sem
ator Bacon and adopted giving six
months pay to families of officers and
enlisted men upon their, death. a

pay of officers of the navy and marine
corps with the pay of officers of the

GRIEF FOR BRIDAL COUPLE.
Both Husband and Wife Made


tenpts to Commit Suicide.
Married life does not appear to bel
running smoothly for a youns, couple
who began their matrimonial career in
Aberdeen less than two weeks ago A
few days after the wedding the bridc
secured possession Of some carbolic
acid with the declared intention OF
committing suicide. Whether or not
this was a bluff is not known. but Ia
the light OF subsequent events it 10
more than likely she would have at
least tried to end her earthly exist
ence. Friends, however. preferring to
take TO chances, took the poison away.
1t was believed that whatever trouble
had come to mar the pleasures Of
these newlyweds would soon pass away
and that Cupid would have an oppor-
tunity to repair the damage he had
caused. The little god Of love appar-
emily made another blunder. for ths
husband made an attempt to end his
life by taking a dose of strychnine.
Fortunately for him he took an over
dose and it was possible to save him.
The cause of the trouble is not made
public, but both of the young peopHs
have promised their friends to give
Cupid another chance to make good.
Their names are Mr.. and Mrs. George
Tyler. The husband is employed in .

YANKToN ASKS ACCOUNTING.
Litigation Probable Between City and
County. @ ..

Mayor Reedy, of Yankton, has
startled the councilmen by producing
statement showing that the city
since 1872 has paid to the county the
sum of $45,000 In taxes for which
the city has had no returns. The
council will now consult legal advice
to see what 1t can do to recover the
money loaned the county. The city's
need for funds for bridge building is
urgent at present. and as most of the
$4,000 was spent on county roads
and bridges when the county had no
money the city fathers think Its bread
cast upon the waters ought to be re-
turning.

STEAMER WRECKS BRIDGE.
Boat Breaks from MOorings and
Crashes Into Toledo Structure.


Friday afternoon the big steamer
Yuma was torn from her moorings by
the rush of ice and water in the Mau-
NEE river and crashed into the bridge
connecting the two sections of To-
ledo, O., tearing out a span and carry
ing 1t into the river. The harbor mas
ter, Page, was on the span and was
thrown into the river. He was finally
rescued.
The Yuma was freighter and is
laden with $4,000 bushels of flax. She
was held by nineteen hawsers and her
cable chain, but the movement of the
ice snapped them like pipestems.
The bridge was the main artery
connecting the east and west sides of
the city and was used by street cars
as well as vehicles and foot passengers
The river is now falling in front of
the city, but the streets along the
docks are flooded. ~
