An attempted landing at the head of the Llao Tunc gulf haa been anticipated for torn time, but latterly the Russians have been Inclined to believe that they have eo strengthened their poaltlon there that the Japanese have abandoned the Idea of landing more than a raiding party to cut the railroad to Port Arthur. It la considered possible that the Japan ese may have decided that the time Is ripe to land at. Kin Chou. with the object of cutting off and Investing Port Arthur. The chances of effecting a landing In central Chinese territory on the coast west of the Llao Tung peninsula are now regarded aa remote, as the Russians cannot believe the Japanese wll! dare to risk arousing the Chtneee and thus bring down upon them the condemnation of the powers, whose good opinion they are striving to obtain. The fact la that the Russian seem greatly at set as to the Japanese plana. In the best Informed military quarters the correspondent of the Associated' Press finds considerable skepticism In regard to the reported Japanese landing In Uao Tung gulf, and Inclination to think It has been too widely advertised to prove more than ruse. If a heavy landing occurs now, except In Corea, the Russian authorities are more disposed to believe that It would he near Taku Shan. Japanese transports are expected dally at the mouth of the Talu river. The reports that there are' B.ont) Cos- Barks In the neighborhood of Oen San are denied. The Russian cavalry Is scouting along the east coasts of Corea, but not so far down as Oen San. While there Is almost constant skirmish Ing along the Yalu, the Russians do not anticipate Important land fighting for some time, not believing that the Japanese will seriously attempt crossing the river until their advance can be supported by two corps, which their advices Indicate about represent the strength of the mikado's soldiers In Corea. The general stall la of the, opinion that the Japanese rear must be protected and that a third corpa must be landed and entrenched In a line-across the peninsula before the real forward move merit can begin. Leek of transportation facilities, according to the Russian ad vices, la delaying the Japanese. Both In Japan and Corea the roads are In a dread ful atat.

WASHINGTON. April 19.-After a debate extending through the entire session the house today passed the bill providing for Joint statehood of Oklahoma and Indian territory under the name of Oklahoma, and of Artiona and New Mexico under the ham of Arisona. In discussing the rule which had been reported by the committee on rules providing for Immediate reconsid eration of the bill, Mr. Williams, the minor ity leader, declared that no republican had any Idea that the bill would become a law at this session. Delegate Wilson of Ari sona opposed the bill. It was favored by Delegates Rodey of New Mexico and Mo- Outre of Oklahoma. Following a brief explanation of the bill by Mr. Dalcell, Mr. Williams (Miss ), th minority leader, charged that the bill was but a pretext to stay the demand of the territories for admission. He expressed the opinion that the republicans had no Idea of passing the bill at this session, or In fact any Idea that It will pass at all, In opposing the rule, Mr. Moon (Tenn.) declared that the bill . was an Intensely wlrked and partisan measure which, if passed, would violate the plighted faith and honor of the United States to the five civ 11 lied tribes of Indian In the matter of treaty obligations. Denying that tbe republicans had been guilty of bad faith, Mr. Dalsell said the bill would take Its course aa a party meas ure. He Justified the measure on the ground that "we are endeavoring to sus tain th relative power of the ss.iate and house of representatives in legislation. Mr. Powers (rep., Maine) defended the bill, which he said furnished the only solu tlon of the statehood question that had any prospect of passing the present congress. ARMY BILL PASSES TUB SENATE Mr. Bailer Supports Amendment for Fine Architecture. WASHINGTON, April 19.-The question of additional accommodation In tbe way of office and committee rooms occupied the attention of the senate the greater part of the day. The question arose In connection with the provisions in the civil appropria tion bill, one for an extension of the east front of the capltol building in accordance with sketches left by Architect Walters, and the other for an outside senate office and committee building. Much variety of opinion was expressed and the question was still under discussion when the senate adjourned. Mr. Morgan presented a memorial from missionaries located in the Congo Free State, praying for an Investigation into the unsatisfactory condition of the natives and of the American cltiiens in that country, and In connection with It a resolution re ferring the question to the committee on foreign relations, with instructions to In vestigate and report to the senate. Th resolution was agreed to. Th conference report on the army ap propriation bill was agreed to, which passes th MIL The sundry civil bill was .laid before th senate and Its reading concluded.. ' Several mlndr amendmenta suggested by I the committee on appropriations adopted, among them- the following: ' Appropriating $36,000 to enable the United States to sartlclpate in the Liege (Belgium exposition of 1906: appropriating $20,0u0 for a railroad map of the United States to be made ty the geological survey; authoris ing the Issuance of medals for exhibitors at the St. Louis exposition without cost to ne unuea mates. Th amendment providing for the erec- tlon of an office and committee room build- Ing for the use of senators was opposed by Mr. Barry, who said that before it could be completed the building would cost not less than $4,500,000, or $50,000 each for the members of the senate. This he pro nounced "a piece of extravagance which surpassed anything he had ever seen off ered in the senate." Mr. Bailey supported the amendment. He sold that Mr. Barry's comment as to the cost of the proposed building might be ap plied to the capltol. That building had been ereoted for the congress as a whole. and he considered the best none too good In the way of accommodations. He did not want Oriental magnificence, but he did want splendid buildings. Senators In Wash. Ington should not live In huts nor stop at wagon yards; nor should they have their offices in Inaccessible portions of the cap ltol. He said th senate annex, now used for senatorial offices, was a lire-trap. MORS RAILWAY SERVICE CLERKS Malls Ar Delayed oa Account of Insufficient Help, WA8HINGTON.fi April 19.-Through the action of the senate there I a gleam of hop that something will be done by con gress to relieve the congestion of th ra 1- way mall service, which haa long existed and which Is growing steadily worse, On account of the lack of public Informa tion as to the operation of this servlc the relief, which 1 absolutely imperative, has long been delayed. While the government Is In some Instances paying special pre miums to secure a fast mall service by the railroads, and th railroads are speeding their trains foi prompt delivery of th malls, extraordinary delays In the service occur through Insufficient facilities and an Insufficient force of railway mall clerks to distribute the mall In transit. The trains may leav. on tlm. and make their sch.dul. iu inuiw, vu,. ,ii..iiur wyi-u. that the car containing lb mail, tn de- liw.y Of which Is supposed to be expe- auea, is leu vu m siuuia ii numuiiuu vr elsewhere because It has bsen Impossible lor tn smaii tore oi cieras in u to son th mall, separating that wmcn is to go in one direction from that which is to go in another. Delay of from eight to twenty-four hours occur. A car tnai ougm 10 oe as iar as Alabama on Ita southern rout may b on a siding at Washington, not because ot any delay In th southern train service, but be cause there haa not been provided a suffi cient fore of mall claarks to separata from the southern mall that which Is ta go Into Maryland and to ths east, and the car must be held her until the work has been ! finished. Apparently the Poatoffice dfpirt i ment and th railroads ar doing what 1 they can to keep the service up to the time, but tbe business public wouia d up in arm If it were generally known how bad th service haa been and up to the present time Is. Second Assistant Postmaster General Shallenberger said today, however, that with th assurance of relief through a pro vision In ths general deficiency bill for too additional railway mail clerk to carry them along to th end of th fiscal year, in June, and th hop of suitable provi sions for an Incrsssad fore for th suc ceeding year, th department already had begun th work of Improving th service.

Tea cot tains 171 grains of Urto Acid la very pound. Meat contains only flv to seven grains. Rheumatism la Urlo Acid In th blood, Urlo Add accumulates from food whsm the digestive apparatus cannot create enough Alkaline elements (like soda) t neutralise It This Acid collects urea, or worn-out wast matter, from th system. That Urea enters th' blood when Alka line action haa not -previously-dissolved It. By and by th wast matter reachea th Joints and muscle, through circulation of the blood. There It gradually deposits In solid par tides, like granulated sugar. These solid particles grind between th Joints and muscle at every movement Tills grinding causes Irritation and pain. These In turn may develop Inflammation and swelling. That Inflammation bestirs Nature to help herself. Sh proceeds to coat th hard Urlo par ticles ovsr with cushions of pulpy rouoous, like th first healing strata of an outar sore. This pulpy covering grows to th bones, as well aa to the particles deposited. There It hardens like plaster or sealing wax. Then w have "bony Joint;'' - almost Inflsxtb'.a. and usually fixed Jn a bended position. from 1 the pain and inflammation. That If Rheumatism at Its worst. 1 It Is bad enough before It gets that far. There s but tne sure way of curing Rheumatism. Th first stsp is to neutralise th Urto Acid already In th system. Nxt to dlrsolvs, and carry, away, the hard de posit that grind between the Joints. Then get the digestive apparatus into Such healthy condition that It will, unaided, pro duce less Uric Acid, and more Alkaline. Tht is what doctor generally hav failed to do. It Is what I studied lifetime to acconv bllsh, and achieved only after many fall ure and thousands of experiments. At lost X found. In Germany, a Solvent which was not only, effective, but abso lutely safe to us. Few agents powerful enough to b ef fective in Rheumatism are safe. My dlecofery, now called "Dr. Snoop's Rheumatlo Cur," sets directly, but Inter nally, upon Urto Acid in th Joints and muscles. It dissolves, and carries off, the painful deposits, producing sn Immediate Alkaline oondltlon of the blood, and neutralising the Acid In it which would have fed the Rheu matlsm and axtonded the disease. It won't restore bony Joint to flexibility, and it c-ji't undo, in a week, th damage caused by years of rheumatlo condition. But It will benefit every case, and It will entirely sure most case of Rheumatism. So sure am I of this, that I will supply Dr. Bhoop's Rheumatlo Cure, to any sick one who writes m for it, on a month' trial, at my rls. If it sucoeeds, the cost to him Is only $6.60 for th six bottle treatment. And he alone shall be th ludae shall decide who shall pay. Surely you will not oontlnu to surf as?

GOVERNMENT MAY CONTROL ALL PLANTS Matter Dlaeassed at Length la Meet- lag Today, bat Ko Degalte Aetloa Is Decided I'poa a Yet. WASHINGTON, April 11-Th most Im portant matter considered at th cabinet meeting today was that looking to th con trol by th government of wireless teleg raphy. The subject was hroaontd by Sec retary Hay In connecilon with the com munication received recently by this gov ernment from Russia. The discussion finally drifted to the expression ot an opin ion that It would be desirabl If not, indeed. absolutely necessary for this government to control, at least in a supervisory way, the operation of wireless telegraphy, par ticularly along the coists. Stations for the receipt of wireless messages are spring ing up at various places along both the Atlantic and tbe Pacific coasts. It was pointed out that In event ot a war with a foreign nation It might be necessary In de fense of the nation for officers of ths United States to hav charge of the sta tion as a means of assurance to the gov ernment that no communication via es tablished with vessels of an enemy' fleet and that the system was not employed to the detriment of United Slates Interests. Thus far wireless telegraphy has not fig ured In International affairs and no con tentions covering Its use hav been con sidered. It is believed that sooner or later the subject will be taken up by diplomatic circle to reaching an International agree ment upon It. The discussion today was tentative In a measure and no definite decision was reached. It Is likely, however, that In the near future some action will be .a ken that will provide for a proper government super vision of the wireless system ot telegra phy. Protests Against British Action, James Dietrlck, manager of an Amer ican mining company operating In Nica ragua, has lodged with Secretary Hay a vigorous protest against the action ot the British government in sending the Warship Retribution to the Mosquito coast to coerce the local Nicaraguan officials, as he alleges. The State department bus taken the protest under consideration. WAST SENATOR 8MOOT REMOVED Daughters of American Revolution Adopt Resolutions. WASHINGTON. April 19.-Tho laying of the corner stone of the Memorial Conti nental hall in this olty, a protest against the continuance in office cf United States Senator Smoot of Utah and the defeat of two proposed constitutional amendments to regulate two local controversies to Intermediary boards were todays features ot the Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Th following resolution, offered by Mrs. William S. Little of Roohester, N. Y., state regent, waa adopted by a standing vote, only one delegate, Mrs. Ida Husted Harper of California, dissenting: Whereas, the Mormon church teaches end many of Its leaders dellantly practice polygamy which la a crime against the government and the United States and tends to- the degradation of women, the destruction of the home, which is the bul wark of the nation's safety and the jeopardy of our sacred institutions, and, Whereas.--an apostle of the Mormon church Is responsible for the teachings of that orgunlzo-tlon, We. the Daughters of the American Rev olution, in congress assembled, in the city of Washington, p. C, April IS, 1904, rep resenting more tnnn o,uu patriotic women of the United States, whose revered an cestors fought and died to create this na tion, most earnestly protest against the continuance of an npostle of the Mormon church In an orTiclnl position In the United States, as by reason or nis position in tnis church he should be disqualified from holding a seat in any legislative body of ur country. Copies of the tesolutlon will be sent to the senate committee on privileges and elections. The Memorial hall ceremonies occurred lata this afternoon. Addresses were made by Mrs. C. W.

Th first meeting of the chorus for th Innes concerts proved to be a gratifying success last night. The chorus met In the larire assembly room on the fifth floor of the city hall, and when Mr. J. H. Blmm and Mr. Ben Stanley, directors of the chorus, called the assemblage of singers to order ther were over 400 present. Mendelssohn s "Hymn of Praise" was th piece presented for rehearsal, and despite the fact that only about 200 books had arrived, the singers made excellent progress for the first rehearsal. Mr. Stan ley wielded the baton and Mr. Slmms pre sided at the piano. They were well pleased not only with the number in the chorus the first night, but with ' the excellent quality of a very large proportion of the voices. This is a gratifying surprise to me, said Mr. Stanley. "I had hardly expected so large an attendance the first night. This 1 a large chorus and a good cm, and we shall be able to achieve results that will undoubtedly delight the people of Omaha and Bandmaster Innes." Another supply of books will be on hhnd before the next rehearsal and th. work will soon be well under way. It seems safe to predict that this great cho rus, In connection with the Innes band. Is destined to make one of the greatest lilts of ths concert season which is to mark th opening of th Omaha Auditor lum.
