MondeII of Wyoming Sponsor for the
Latest Measure.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, D. c., Feb. 21.-Repre-
sentative Mondell today introduced a
new 320-acre homestead bill, somewhat
different from the SmOot bill. reported
to the senate last week which applies
only to Colorado. Idaho. Montana, Ne
vada, North and South Dakota, Ore
gOn, Utah, Wyoming. New Mexico and
Arizona, and permits persons qualified
to make hOmesteads to take up under
the homestead. law 800 acres of nom
mineral, non-irrigable, unreserved and
unappropTiated surveyed public lands
which do not contain merchantabie
timber. Persons who have made
homestead entries under the present
law may acquire additional land up to
an aggregate of 800 acres, and resi-
dence on the first entry shall be deem
ed sufficient to cover the addition. In
making final proof entrymen must
show that one-eighth of entry has been
continuously cultivated and that i'm
provements have been made to the eX-
tent of S125 for each acre embraced
in the entry. Entrymen making 800
acre hOmesteads may commute at the
end of two years and they must take
oath that entry is made for their own
benefit and not for speculation.

STRING TO THE 100000
Administration Wants to Hedge in
the Matter of Relinquished
Chinese Indemnity.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The PROPOSE
tion to retain control of the DISPOSE
ton of the s14,0OO,OOO of relinquished
Chinese indemnity and have it used in
the erection of American colleges iii
China and i'm bringing Chinese stu
dents to the United States to complete
their education has been brought to
the attention of President Roosevelt
and the state department by William
T. Ellis. of philadelphia. who has re-
Gently returned from the orient. The
plan is not original with Mr.. Ellis, but
has been considered as an excellent
idea for some time by the state depart
ment.
How any such plan can be worked
out, especially in view of the action al
ready taken, which commits the ex-
ecutive branch of the government to
its offer to relinquish TO China the sur
plus indemnity. is the. puzzling ques-
ton. To make the offer of the execu-
tive effective requires the sanction of
congress, and unless this body attaches
string to the offer, as indicated,
nothing can be done. The senate has
practically given it's consent TO the
presidents offer and the matter is now
pending i'm the house committee on for
eign affairs.

GIVES DOLLARS FOR Dimes
Supposed Beggar Rewards Those
Who Respond to His APP
neal for Aims.

When it became known last night about
10 o'clock that a man standing at the
corner of Second South and Main streets.
who was supposed to be a beggar was
giving dollar 10 every person who re-
sponded TO his appeal for aims, there
was quick opening of purses and a
scramble to aid the needy. The man was
soon out of dollars.
The supposed beggar appeared at the
corner about 9 O'Clock. He stopped a
number of men. plaintively asking for tee
price of a meal. Some passed on with
out noticing him, and others roughly told
him TO go to work or hunt UP the free
soup kitchens. At last one man gave the
fellow a dime.
Immediately the mendicant drew out a
dollar. Take this he said ''You gave
me dime. I'll give you dollar"
When the urchins about the corner
learned what had happened. they flocked
to the rich beggar and showered him with
offers of assistance.
In very few minutes the mans re-
sources were exhausted and he de-
parted, humming to himself.

MANY ARE RESIDENTS
approximately 10000 Homeless Men
Wandering in the Streets of
New York at Present.

New York, Feb. 21.-It is estimated by
one of the managers of the Associa-
ticn for Improving the Condition of the
Poor that there are approximately go
O0G homeless men in New York today.
OF these, probably so per cent are nom
residents, while it is the society's esti-
mate that about / per cent would work
if they were given employment. Though
the poverty of the deserving unem-
ployed is real, and their need of help
constant. the society has reason to be-
lieve that conditions are improving. the
number of men out of work growing
smaller and, finally. that the total of
the deserving class of the unemployed
has been overestimated. The great ma
JOrity, a society manager said yester-
day, belong TO the Vagrant class and
work" the organization when they can
get a chance to do SO.

STOESSEL THE SCAPEGOAT
Press of St. Petersburg Demands
That Alexieff and Kuropatkin
Be Brought to Trial.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 21.-The passa &c
of sentence of death yesterday by a
court-martial upon Lieutenant General
StOessel, who was tried on charges of
oowardice and treason in surrendering
Port Arthur TO the Japanese. is re-
ceived with little satisfaction in the
Russian capital where il is felt that
the trial of Generals Stoessel, Fock,
Reiss and SmyrnOff has done practically
nothing toward establishing the real re-
spOnsibility for the fall of the fortress.
The court, indeed, fixed the extent OF
the guilt of Stoessel and others, but
neglected to judge the situation of
which they were the product.
1t declined to admit testimony re-
garding the preparedness of the fort
ress at the beginning of the war. the
role of the navy in the defense Of a
marine stronghold and other underlying
factors i'm the humiliation of Russia.
The newspapers today express SYM
pathy with General Stoessel and de-
clare that the death sentence will I'M
doubtedly be committed. They demand
also that General KurOpatkin. Viceroy
Alexieff and other officers still more
intimately responsible for the loss of the
war be placed on trial.

SENATE WILL PASS
THE ALDRICH BILL

Washington, Feb. 21.-Senators AID
rich and Bailey believe the senate will
probably vote on the Aldrich currency
bill on Friday or Saturday of next

When half a dozen speeches have
been delivered Senator Bailey will Of
fer his bill as a substitute for the Aid
rich bill. and when it is voted down. as
it's author comedies that it will be, the
committee itself will bring in some
amendments. The bill will receive the
almost unanimous vote of the Repub-
lican senators. but ii is conceded that
a few of those from the far west will
cast their ballot in the negative.
When the bill goes to the house there
will be an effort to have it accepted
as a substitute for any bill that may
be reported by the house committee
on banking and currency.

ONE Of THE -FOUR
TUBES COMP ETE
Pennsylvania Road Will Soon
Be Running Trains Under
East River.

New York, Feb. 21.-The first of the
great systems of tunnels and subways
by which the Pennsylvania railroad will
be enabled to run a train from Phila-
delphia under the Hudson river across
Manhattan island and under the East
river 10 Long Island City. was COM
pleted today. The two ends OF one of
the four tubes connecting Manhattan
Island with Long Island City were
brought together under the head of the
middle of the East river off Thirty
fourth street before noon today, and
the steel rings composing the shell of
the tube were for the first time bolted
in one continuous string from shore TO
shore. This tube was begun in August,
1905, and is four thousand feet in length.
Two other tubes will be completed
within few days and the fourth will
be finished within three months, ac-
eOrding to an announcement made by
the company.
The completion of the first tunnel
was celebrated in Long Island City by
a display of flags about the works of
the company. Workmen who were dig
ging the tunnel from the Long Island
City side broke through into the end
of the tunnel extending from the New
York side last night, but the two ends
were not competed until today.
SO accurate were the measurements of
the engineers that the ends came to-
sether with a variation of only three
eighths of an inch.
This system of tunnels under the East
river will connect the Long Island rail-
road with the Pennsylvania railroad
terminal now being constructed at
Thirty-third street, New York. A con-
Meeting railroad is TO be constructed in
Long Island City and Brooklyn to con-
meet with various stations of the Long
Island railroad.

hall is supplied with ninety-three fire
proof scenes. which cost about $4,000
and the electrical appliances are superior
to those of most theaters, even those of
New York.
After the entertainment refreshments
were served and there was dancing.

INDIAN WAR VETERANS
FINALLY RECOGNIZED

Washington, d. c., Feb. Ex-senator
Sutherland has secured the allowance
of a pension of IS monthly from the
pension bureau for gilbert King, of
Coyote, who was a participant in the
Walker Indian war In 1853. Applica-
ton for this pension has been rejected
four times because the roster of troops
which was made by Brigham Young
gave Kings name as Kenny. King has
finally satisfied the pension bureau
that he was the soldier in the Indian
war in question and the pension was
thereupon granted. He gets $3.50 back
pension.
