 NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-George w. Perkins today laid down an ultimatum to the republican leaders that the har- mony committee plan proposed yes terday would not be acceptable to the progressives
 This committee as proposed would be impotent," MT Perkins said. We want a committee representative of both parties which shall have real powers. This is q crisis in the affairs of the republican party and we want to see what the republicans are going to uo about it.
 If they don't want us progressives with them to oppose the incompetent democratic administration, why, we want to know that. If they won't call together the national committee, why, we want to know that as a basis for our future action. If they do call the committee together and it refuses to act, that will be the basis of our future action. But whatever their attitude, this is the time to declare it, not on the eve of the next national election"
 A telegram from MT. Coleman. Du Pont as given out by MT. Perkins, read:
 You are right The action of the executive committee yesterday worked q great injury to the republican party. :,
 William Allen White of Kansas wired:
 Glory in your spunk. Go to it.''
 Mir Perkins also had conference with Theodore Roosevelt on the matter.

Sur vivors of the destroyed yes sels to the number of 237 have been landed at Per nambuco, and the fate of nearly 450 men is still un- known.
 The first official state ments given out here regard ing the raider were to the eff feet that seven vessels had been sunk and nine captur- ed. ln the communication to the minister of marine, the captain of the port of Pernambuco declared that he had learned the raider had also sunk eight of the vessels which were at first reported merely captured. The crews, the fate of which is not known, numbered All men.
 It is reported that the raider placed these crews on board the British steamer Yarrowdale, which then pro- ceeded for port. It is there fore believed that they will be safely landed within a day or two.

 The Russians in a vigorous attack have recaptured the village of Gadeni, six miles southwest of the important Danubian town of GalatZ, according to Petrograd, and repulsed with heavy casualties a Teutonic allied counter attack. The Teutonic allies also were driven out of the village of Gerleschi near the mouth of the Rimnik river but later the Russians were compelled to withdraw in the face of superior forces. The Berlin war office admits that Field Marshal von Mackensens Turkish advance posts near Vadeni were withdrawn but makes no mention of the evacuation of the village
 In the Kasino and SuchitZa valleys, the Russians still are vigorously on the offensive and at one point have sue ceeded in gaining a footing on a peak. Everywhere else they were repulsed with sanguinary losses.
 Berlin reports that near Smorgon, which lies on the railroad between the Wilma and Minsk, the Russians after heavy artillery preparation, attacked and penetrated the German lines on a narrow front, but later were driven out, leaving the battlefield covered with Russian dead In Galicia, near the SebOrow -Zlochoff railway, the Germans are carrying out an intensive infantry fire against the Russians. In the other theaters there have been no big battles, the operations still consisting of artillery duels and engagements by small parties.
