Reported That Japanese Will
Invest Vladivostok, in Which
. Case He Will Be With
out Base.
RUSSIANS ALLOWED TO GO
St. Petersburg, Jan. 4.—It seems now
to be definite that Vice Admiral Ro-
Jestvensky’s squadron will not attempt
at present to reach Vladivostok. The
decision has been reached that he will
await the third Pacific squadron, on
which work Is proceeding night and
day and several ships of whit* are
expected to be ready for service by
the end of January. It Is by no means
certain that Rojestvensky will return
with his ships to European waters; he
may await the third squadron off the
coast of Madagascar and seise and
make as his base one of the uninhabit-
ed coral islands of Polynesia.
In view of the report that the Jap-
anese Intend to Invest Vladivostok,
General Batlavoff, who has been In-
terviewed. has expressed the opinion
that If Vladivostok should be block-
aded Rojestvensky would be compelled
to return.
A Russian Captain
With a Charmed Life.
Many interesting incidents in con-
nection with Port Arthur heretofore
carefully concealed are now com-
mented upon. When the protected
cruiser Boyarin was lost by going on
the rocks here captain, Sarytchoff, was
subjected to considerable criticism.
He appealed personally to Emperor
Nicholas for mercy, saying that if for-
given he would sacrifice his life for
his country.
Thereafter Sarytchoff .volunteered
oh every occasion for dangerous duty.
He commanded the gunboat Gillsk, at
Kiuchou and later the shore battery
Tiger’s Tall. Afterward the cap-
null by any action that may be taken
by relatives of the person making the
bequest.
One of the leaders in the movement
explained that the study of the brain
at present Is chiefly hampered by oh-
Jettons of the relatives of the de
cessed. In the prevailing circum-
stances it Is difficult to obtain, he said,
the permission of the family for the re-
moval. preseravtion and study of the
organ, because the mere suggestion of
an autopsy is looked upon with horror.
EXPLORER NICHOLS.
o Confirmation of Reoort of His
Death in Tibet.
New York. Jen. 2.—A cablegram
from E. H. Conger, American minis-
ter to. China, has been received by
the editor of the Christian Herald in
answer to an inquiry about Francis
H. Nichols of Chicago, the explorer,
whose death in Tibet has been rumor-
ed to have occurred while he was en-
route to L’Hassa. _
Minister Conger's dispatch was ns
follows: “Nichols left China bv wav
of Burmah for India, Sept 6. No In-
formation since then.”
It Is said that the minister was a
personal friend of Nichols and had in-
troduced him to all the high Chinese
officials in Peking, and the explorer’s
personal friends here are inclined to
believe that If he were dead the min-
ister to China, or at least some of the
Chinese officials would have heard
of It. "

Japs Allowed Russian
Boat* to Escape.
London, Jan. 4.— The Dally Mall's
correspondents with General Nogl’s
army before Port Arthur in a dispatch
aaya that the Russian torpedo boat
Destroyers were purposely permitted
to escape from Port Arthur under the
eyes of the Japanese fleet as a trib-
ute to the bravery of the Russian

Kuropatkin of
British Origin.
London, Jan. 4.—The enemies of
General Kuropatfkin are, says a dis-
patch front St. Petersburg, doing every-
thing they can to discredit him at the
present juncture. The latest report
spread toy malicious tongues Is that
the general Is of British origin. His
great-grandfather, a surgeon named
Partridge (Russian ’’Kuropatkin’’) is
said to have settled in St. Petersburg
In the reign of the Empress Cath-
erine 11.
Queer Sect Among
the Czar's Soldiers.
St. Petersburg. Jan. 4.—Among the
interesting letters from Manchuria is
one Just received from Artillery Cap-
tain Ugorsky. who tells of a curious
state of religious exaltation produced
among the uneducated Russian sol-
diers by the strained excitement .pf
the last few months.
“In two of the Siberian regiments,"
he writes, "a sect who call themselves
"Krovoupltsi" (Bloodsuckers) has
made considerable progress. These
men have sworn to accept no quarter,
to expose themselves as much as pos-
sible in the battlefield and to keep as
far as possible an exactly accurate ac-
count of the number of ‘heathen’ they
have killed. To slaughter a race
which rejects Christ they believe to be
a pious act. and many of them dread
any conclusion of peace which would
leave a single Japanese alive. They
stood up in the trenches, screamed
fierce defiance and attempted to rush
out to meet the enemy. One man kept
constantly exposing himself where the
fire was hottest, and <when a bullet
went hrough his chest screamed de-
lightedly, ‘Now I am saved, brothers.’

Secretary’* Motive In Calling Hague
Convention, Questioned in Oregon.
Portland. Ore., Jan. 2.—At a pub
lie meeting held In this city, called
for the purpose of indorsing the ef-
forts of President Roosevelt and Sec
retary Hay in bringing about the re-
convening of The Hague tribunal,
disturbance was created by the efforts
of a numerous contingent to prevent
the adoption of the laudatory resolu-
tions.
The opposition was led by an ear-
nest speaker who stated that Secre-
tary Hay was dominant in his act by
the money powers of Great Britain
and Eurone. Supporting the speak
ers' attack, the opposition hissed Mr.
Hay’s name vigorously.
When It came to voting on the orig-
inal resolution great opposition was
expected and it was only after four
times that the resolution was passed.
CRUISER NEW ORLEANS.
Now on Way From Philippines, Sister
Ship Albany Accompanying.
Honolulu, via San Francisco, Jan. 2.
—Word has bean received here to the
effect that the cruiser New Orleans,
now on her way from the Philippines,
will leave'most of her guns at Guam
and Midway island for the purpose of
protecting these places in some meas-
ure. The New Orleans has with her a
sister ship, the Albany, purchased 1n
England at the time of the Spanish
war. She is a serviceable vessel but
her guns are not of the American type
and will therefore, be replaced when
she arrives at Bremerton to go out of
commission and to refit.

New Yorit, Jan. 2.—Brain'anatomists

hope will bring about a condition of
affairs more favorable to the study of
the human body. It la for the forma-
tion of a society, modeled on the plan

Washington, D, C., Jan. 4.—The
third day of the American Forest con-
gress opens tomorrow morning with
a discussion of forests and their rela-
tion to railroad supplies. Officials of
many of the largest railway systems
of the United States participated in
the discussions. They discussed among
other things the tremendous demands
of the railroads upon the forests for
ties and other supplies and considered
means of solving this Increasingly seri-
ous problem. In the same connection
officials of the bureau of forestry ex-
plained to the congress what is’being
done in the way of extending the life
of timber by preservative treatment.
This afternoon the congress met In

Washington, Jan.4.—Upon recon-
vening today after the holiday recess,
the senate plunged directly Into a
consideration of the bill for the ad-
mission of two states to be composed
of Arizona and New Mexico, and Ok-
lahoma and the Indian Territory. The
motion by Mr. Beveridge to take up
the hill prevailed by two-thirds ma-
jority.
Mr. Hevburn. who renewed his ef-
fort to get up the pure food bill, voted
with the democrats on one roll call,
with this exception the republicans
voted solidly to proceed to a consider-
ation of the statehood bill and the
democrats solidly against that course.
The motion by Mr. Bate to recommit
was voted down. Mr. Nelson spoke
at length in advocacy of tho bill.
There was an exceptionally largo
attendance of senators when the sen-
ate wa« called to order. President
protem, Frye, being absent, 8enator
Perkins oresfded.
Mr. Platt, of New York, reported a

report a decision of the supreme court
of the United States, which, he said,

On objection to immediate consid-
eration, the resolution went over.

bill and gave notice that he would
ask an early consideration of the bill

Otero Against Joint ,
Statehood In His Report.
Washington, Jan. 4 —In hi* annual
report to the secretary of the Interior
Governor Otero of the territory of New
Mexico takes a decided position
against the uniting of that territory
with Arizona as one state. He says:
“There is no doubt that a great ma-
jority of the people of New Mexico
are opposed to Joining New Mexico
and Arizona Into one commonwealth.
Even a small percentage who would
asquiesce In such a consolidation, pre-
fer single and soda rate statehood for
each territory. This is not due to any
Innate animosity bet ween the two ter-
ritories, but to an Inherent difference
in poulatlon, in legislation, In Indus-
tries. In contour, In ideals and from
an historic and ethnologic standpoint,
not to mention that the consolidation
of two commonwealths like New Mex-
ico and Arizona into one. Is unprece-
dented in .American history . '

FLORESVILLE OIL FIELD.
Pickett Well Contains Large Quanti-
ties of the Fluid.
FloresvIUe, Tex., Jan. 2 —There can
no longer he any doubt that the Pick-
ett well contains large quantities of
oil.
Early this morning, when the first
bucket was drawn In baling it, the
rope showed that there was at least
thirty feet of oil, and all subsequent
buckets drawn wen- full of oil, free
from any water. A bucket is drawn
In less than five minute*. Some of
those who have been close observers
of the operations are confident that
the oil will flow from the well when
the baling is completed.
One of the best and most prominent
features of this field Is that all reports
and representations made In regard to
the matter have bcmi free from exag-t
aeration. No objections were made to
people seeing for themselves and
thereby forming their own conclusions
from actual'knowledge of the condi-
tions. Parties of considerable capital
will visit the well tomorrow.
\ represent
Mr. 'Heyburn Introduced a hill for
the regulation of corporations, which
was referred to the committee of ju-
diciary.
When the morning session closed.
Mr. Beveridge moved that the sonate
proceed with the consideration of the
Joint statehood hill. The motion cre-
ated a brief stir and several senators
addressed the chair. Mr. Heyburn
asked whether tho motion made by
him to take up the pure food bill,
which was pending when the senate
adjourned for the holidays. waB not
pending. The chair decided that the
motion died with that day's session of
the senate.
On motion to proceed to a coftsidera
tlon the vote was ,21 ayes to 17 nays.
The reading of the statehood bill
being concluded, Mr. Bate moved to
recommit that measure ’because the
testimony taken before the committee
on territories hail not been reported
rendering it difficult to make A
minority report. Many of the sittings
of the committee, Mr. Bate said, had
been held when the senate was in ses-
sion and this, with other circum-
stances, had prevented the attendance
of democratic senators.
He pleaded against undue haste in
the matter and entered upon an argu-
ment against the consolidation of the
four territories Into two states. Re-
ferring to the proposed union of Art-
zna and New Mexico he said they
would make a state of greater area
than is comprised in all the New Eng-
land states, with New York. New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania added. The
only reason for the consolidation was
found, he said, in a desire to prevent
an increase of United 8tates senators.
In considering the provisions of the
bill relative to New Mexico and Ari-
zona, he quoted statistics to show
the growth of both territories had
been glow and still meagre. The pres-
ent population of the two territories
was 400,000 or less.
He admitted that a large percent-
age of the people of Arizona were
Americans, while many of those in
New Mexico were Mexicans. He did
not admit, however, that the major-
ity of New Mexico people.were Mexi-
cans, and be also contended that there
was no real enmity between the two
nationalities.
Mr. Nelson had not concluded when
the senate adjourned.

Each Territory Must
Ratify Constitution.
Washington, Jan 4—An amend-
ment to the statehood bill has been in-
troduced by Senator Foraker Intended
to permit the inhabitants of either
New Mexico or Arizona to reject the
constitution of the proposed State to
be created by combining the two ter-
ritories.
The bill as reported to the senate
provides that the constitution shall be
submitted to the people of the pro-
posed state for its ratification or re-
jection. and If a majority of the legal
votes cast on that question shall be
for the constitution said canvassing
board shall certify the result to the
president of the United States, etc.
By the amendment a majority of the
vote* must be cast in “each" of the
territories in order to ratify the con-
stitution.
Opponents of the statehood bill—

Pueblo, Colo., Jan, 4.—At the annual
meeting of the Business Men’s associ-
ation held tonight ! resolutions were
adopted requesting the Bar associa-
tion to disbar District Attorney J. H.
H. Istw from practicing in the city,
county and state courts.
Tho action was taken as a result of
the action of the district attorney in
entering nolles in 4k indictments
brought by the grand jury, which Bat
during the Mar term or court. Ail of
the indictments were against city and
county officials am! wore the most Im-
portant of the ilndtpga of the grand
Jury,
The attorney refused to offer any ex-
planation of his action. Mr. Low re-
tires as district aitorney on January

Denver, Jan. 4.—No action was
taken by the legislature today looking
toward a settlement of the guberna-
torial contest, and it is not likely that
anything In this direction will be un-
dertaken at the first session tomor
row. The house progressed rapidly
with its work and effected its organ-
ization by electing William H. Dick-
son as speaker.
Just prior to 2 o'clock it seut word
to the senate that it. was prepared to
enter Into a Joint session tor the pur-
pose of receiving the governor’s mes-
sage amt of canvassing the vote. The
senate made no such progress as the
house, and when It adjourned at 3:20
was not prepared to enter upon a Joint,
session, its troubles came through a
report of the credentials committee
which declared that all members were
entitled to their seats except Senators
Horn and Healey, who were arbitrarily
seated by the democrats two years
ago.
Lieutenant Governor Hsggott, who
presided over the senate, declined to
receive the report, saying that while
In his opinion that had been Illegally
seated, still they had been seated, and
it would require something strong r
than a report of the committee on cre-
dentials to deprive them of their seats.
After a tong debate adjournment was
taken until tomorrow, when an at-
tempt will be made to oust tho two
senators,
ll requires a two-thirds vote to de-
prive a member of his seat, and (he
republicans have hut 19 senators
against 15 democrats. The plan most
In favor tonight is to reconsider the
vote by which they were seated two
years ago.
Lieutenant Governor Hsggott de-
clared that a motion to reconsider
could he made only by gome member
of tlie senate, who two years ago
voted in the affirmative on the ques-
tion of seating Senators Born amt
Healey. There I* -but one member
who In In a position to make the mo-
tion. lie Is Senator Uaslmoro Barela
of Las Animas county, who, two years
Ago, voted with the democrats, hut
who has this session been classed
with the republicans. m
It Is not likely that any Joint ses-
sion will be held either to receive the
mesage of Governor Peabody or to
canvass the vote until the senatorial
fight is set tled.

independent party, whose president la
brands Kosuth. This news will
doubtless cause a great Hensatton In
political circles here, as rumors of the
count’s Intentions have uot been taken
seriously, but only as a threat. To the
independent party the acquisition of a
politician of the prominence and ex-
perience of Count Apponvt will be a
great gain.
GRAY WOLVES AT NUECES.
Large Steers in Some Pasture* Have
Been Killed by the Brutes.
Brackett. Texas, Jan. 2.—Charles
Yeates was in from the Neuees a few
days ago and reports gray wolves as
very troublesome In his section. Other
rachmen make similar complaints and
some have been trapping for the pests
hut with little luck. Hunters after deor
this season In several instances saw
doer pursued by large wolves, and It
Is thought that this is one cause of
the great scarcity of deer about here.
The shortening of the hunting sea-
son gives the wild animals a better
chauce to encroach and drive the game
away. One pack of wolves In a pas-
ture will drive out more game than
several hunters. In some pastures
large steers have been killed by tobo
wolves.

New \ ork, Jan. 4.—Not In eeveral
years has New York been visited toy a
storm of such proportions as that
which commenced yesterday and con-
tinued until early today. Nine inches
of snow fell, paralyzing traffic, and a
marked drop In the temperature
brought untold suffering to the city’s
poor.
The blizzard caused seven deaths in
New York amt vicinity, while many
persons, overcome by cold, dropped In
the street, some of them receiving
fractured bone*.
Five of the seven men who met
death as a result of the storm died
from exposure, another slipped on the
ley platform of an elevated station,
fell In front of an approaching train
and was ground to pieces. The sev-
enth, L. IV. Eller, a conductor on the
Pennsylvania railroad, blinded by tho
driving snow, stopped In front of the
congressional limited train at South
Amboy, N. J., and was instantly killed
It Is estimated that the storm will
