RUSSIAN ILERY INFLICTS LUtt Pat ml Rr fere Ai to RaulM Headqnar. It Illowa la Rall- Bad Destroys graph Una. TOKIO. Jan. 17 The note of the Rus sian government to the powers calling at tention to the alleged violation by China of Its declared neutrality, which, Russia charges, haa neon at the Instance of Japan; the raid of Lieutenant General Mistchen ko'a cavalry southwest of Llao Yang, re sulting, aa the Japanese claim, In the deliberate Invasion of neutral territory, and tlie alleged violation of French m-utrallty by vessela of the Russian second Pacific squadron In making a prolonged stay at ports of the Island of Madaguscar, have created the Impression In official quarters here that the Russians are trying to In volve France, China and other powers In the Russo-Japanese troubles In the fur eaat, ao that Russia may be enabled to take Ita defeat with greater grace. A prominent Japanese official said to the correspondent of the Associated Press today: France recently denied that vessels of the Russian second Pacific squadron were stopping at Madagascar, but since then it has not uttered a wprd, and the situation la one railing for explanation. I cannot believe that sane Frenchmen will be seriously influenced by the docu ments allrged to have been prepared by General Kodama, showing a plan of cam paign for a Japanese Invasion of J rencn lnl)-Chlna. which are forgeries. If it should be Russia's scheme to first embroil France with China, It would be more easily understood than to provoke England Hlone, which act would not bring assurance of French support. A dispatch from Toklo, January 14, said that the Japanese were sharply criticising the French government for permitting the ships of the Russian second Pacific squad ron to make a prolonged stay at Madagas car; that such action was considered little lean than hostile, and that further tempor ising for the purpoao of rendering assist ance to the Russian vessels must be con sidered a serious breach of neutrality. A dispatch from Paris of the same date said that officials there declared that the Japaneao criticism had no Importance, as the Russian squadron was no longer In French waters. A dispatch from Paris January ( related that the Echo De Paris printed d.iouments alleged to have been prepared by the Japa nese goff'tIU''Kdprnir,J formerly governor of Formosa, showing that Japan had a plan of campaign for the Invasion of French InJo-Chlna. The documents were of extra crdlnary length and gave the reasons for first turning toward Manchuria, and, after crippling RuEBla thero. attacking the smaller French forces farther south, pre paring meanwhile a powerful navy to meet reinforcements that might be sent from Russia or France. Next day the Japanese legation nt Paris pronounced the alleged disclosures In ths Echo De Paris to be fabrications and added: We declare once for all that Jopan has never had designs upon the Aslntle posses slona of any European power. Its present mar against Russia Is soli ly for national defense against the menace of Russian In vasion In the far east. Koaropatkln Report a Victory. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 17. General Kouropatktn, telegraphing yesterday to Emperor Nicholas, reported an attempt of a strong Japanese detachment of Infantry, cavalry and artillery to cut oft the column of General Mistchenko's cavalry January 14 aa the latter was about to retire northward. The Japanese, under cover of a mist, out flanked the Russians. A battle ensued, the Russian artillery Inillctlnfe heavy looses on the Japanese at short range and then re tiring. The Russian losses were five offi cers and forty men killed or wounded. General Kouropatkln also reported th2 re turn of a Russian patrol after blowing up the railroad and destroying a mile of tele graph two miles north of Tutchckluo. Deny Violation of Xeutrullty. 8T. PETERSBURG, Jan. 17.-The govern ment has not renewed the state of slrge In Manchurlan cities, at the opening of the new year, civil, law in such places replacing military rule. The Russian papers protest Hgulnat the Imputation that General Mist chenko's cavalry violated Chinese neutral ity, even If, of which there Is at present no evidence, they crossed the Llao river above New Chwang, clulmlng that a small . strip on the west bank Is distinctly re kerved as Included in the sphere of hostili ties. While the daring cavalry raid on the line of Japanese communications was wel comed as a happy augury of the opera tions of the new year the general staff does not give encouragement to the Idea that It was a precursor of a serious Russian movement.

ESSEN, Germany, Jan. 17. According to reports received at the official mine office, 122,812 men from 187 coal mines are out on strike today. The leaders of the strike had a meeting with the government commissioners this afternoon and explained the grounds for the strike. The expectation still continues that the dispute may be ended soon owing to the government's strong desire to settle the controversy. Chnncellor von Ruelow's speech In the Prussian Diet affirming that the govern ment's two duties toward the strike were to preserve order and assist in a settle ment so as to save German Industry from a grent calamity, gives the miners hope of obtaining concessions. The executive committee of the socialist party has Issued a general appeal to Ger man workmen to stand by the strikers, "as they are striking not only for dally bread, but for the rights of all men." The socialists have never been assisting In the Rhine country ns In other Industrial districts. The central party has always kept a strong hold over the worklngmrn In that part of Germany and both the mem bers of the center party and the socialists are now looking for political advantages.

ELIAS CASE IS ON TRIAL Absence of Defendant Docs Not Stop Opening- of Salt for Damages. NEW YORK, Jan. I7.-The trial of the suit . of John R. Piatt, the evtegenarlan millionaire, to recover from Hannah Ellas, a negress, nearly $750,000 which he alleges she extorted from him during a period ex tending over more than twenty years, was begun before Justice O'Oormsn In the supreme court today. Mrs. Ellas was not In court when the case waa called. Mr. Piatt was present with his counsel, how ever, and It was decided not to allow the absence of the defendant to delay the pro ceedings. In opening the case for the plaintiff At torney G. B. Warren said that Mrs. Ellas, sometime before proceedings were begun against her, succeeded In getting from Piatt a number of letters and books which would have been extremely valuable to hint In proving the case against the defendant, but that he hoped even In their absence to prove their contents and thus establish the Justice of his client's claim. Former Gov ernor Black, senior counsel for Mrs. Ellas, moved that the case be dismissed on the ground that the plaintiff had been guilty of Inexcusable delay In bringing his com plaint. The motion was denied by Justice O'Gorman, as was another motion asking for n Jury trial. When Mr. Piatt arose In response to a call from his counsel he appeared to be very feeble and was assisted to a chair in the witness stand. Guided by questions from his counsel, spoken In a very loud tune, the witness told of his first meeting with Mrs. Ellas, more than twenty years ago, when, as president of the volunteer firemen's association, he took the visiting California firemen out "to show . them a good time," and recounted incidents which occurred during their long friendship. His story was practically the same as that told when he was on the stand In the magis trate's court last summer, when the pro ceedings against Mrs. Ellas were begun. His memory was extremely poor and he could not remember the amounts of money he had loaned to Mrs. Ellas. Mr. Piatt said he had no unfriendly feel ing against Mrs. Ellas and that he would never have brought this suit. He declared that the present suit was brought by his brother. When Mr. Piatt left the stand the hearing was adjourned until tomorrow. OVERTHROW 0F. AUTOCRACY Samuel Woolner Predicts Revolution In Russia aa Resn.lt of Vuu- . ar ' - - '-' ' ere of Jenrs. CHICAGO, Jan. 17. "The overthrow of the Russian autocracy will be the lust echo of the voice of Klshlneff." This waa a prophecy made In passing over the subject of Jewish civil and religious rights In America by President Samuel Woolner of the I'nlon of American Hebrew Congrega tions In making his report to the nineteenth council of the organization today. He ad vised united effort to oppose possibly futura immigration legislation which might be Inimical to Jewish Interests. Speaking of the work of the hoard of delegates on civil and religious rights Presi dent Woolner said: While the Kishlneff protest was not offi cially the work of our board of delegates, yet our chairman, Simon Wolf, was one of the workers who, together with the lute la mented Leo N. Levi, framed this historical document and stirred the American citizens to Indorse It In righteous wrath. The over throw of 'the Russian autocracy will be the last echo of Kishineff. More than a year ago our board of delegates met In Wash ington to lay before the president of the I'nited States and the Department of State the continued disregard on the part of cer tain foreign governments of the passport when presented by American citizens of Jewish faith. So successful has this In formal petition been that the matter ha been brought before the new Russian min ister of the interior, from whom the whole world now expects a favorable recommen dation to the czar. The Interpretation of the Immigration laws which often works hardships to Jew ish Immigrants has, through the agency of Chairman Wolf, often been modified in favor of the violations of religious perse cution. There is no doubt but that the Im migration question will soon require the combined wisdom of the American Jews to prevent th framing of national laws which might prove Inimical to the Jewish Immigrant. In the course of his report President Woolner styled President Roosevelt "cham pion of humanity." LEGISLATORS ARE AT WORK Sonth Dakota Senate Asks for Open ing of (he Cheyenne River Reservation.

(Special Telegram.) Receiving 118 of the 1S3 votes of the Ne braska legislature, Elmer J. Burkett of Lincoln, congressman from the First dis trict, this morning, both house and senate balloting separately, was chosen to succeed Senator Charles II. Dietrich In the upper branch of the federal congress, and tomor row In Joint sefslon the legislature will ratify this action. Richard L.

At the conclusion of the roll call In tha house the clerk announced the vote, lining up Tucker of Douglus with the Rurkett list. "Mr. Speaker," said tho mayor of Flor ence, "I am recorded as having voted for Mr. Rurkett. I did not so vote. I cast my vote for J. A. Douglas, and would ask that It be so recorded." Merely Matter of Rontlne. The selection of Rurkett was merely a matter of routine. The proceedings wera devoid of Interest and carried out with, stilted formality. Save the two republican votes cast for outside men, there waa not the slightest Jar to the program arranged, weeks ago for the execution of plans ante dating the convening of the leglslat ire. No speech waa made In either house of senate. Men on the floors of both houses had some days ago chafed under what they regarded as tight-fltting collars, bu( not a man was there today who raised hie voice or hand against the beneficiary of on of the most adroit schemes which political ganlua, haa yet devised. Mr. Burkett bar ing been endorsed by the republican atatej convention, the several county conventions on the ballot by the voters at the polls and on petition individually by many of tha majority members of the legislator and backed by combined powers so great as to overawe forces of questionable strength, there was none who cared to precipitate an opposition, and his selection was ob tained with hs much facility as If he had been the personal choice and favorite ot every republican In the legislature and tha state of Nebraska. There was talk, and Indeed evidences, the night before of m movement to overthrow the Rurkett com bination at the last moment, but before morning these subterrannenn rumblings had subsided as completely as possible and tha political firmament was as clear aa tha midday sun so far as practical purpose went. Lancaster's First Senator, Mr. Burkett will be the first United States senator ever elected from Lancaster, the haven of politicians, the mecca of publlo officeholders. Still Lincoln takes its newly acquired honor or the one about to b finally acquired with philosophical mod cat y. For all an outsider could tell, nothing out of the ordinary haa happened. Th galleries und lobbies of the house and ten ate were fairly well filled with spectators) when the time arrived to vote for senator, but there was no demonstration. Mild ap plause of very brief duration in each house greeted the formal announcement of th vote und the houses then adjourned. The house had convened as usual at 10 and the senate at 10:30 and within on hour each houHe began balloting. This was don simply by the calling of the rolls. After the roll cull Lieutenant Governor McGUtOn In tho senute and Speaker Rouse In th house announced the vote and stated that their respective bodies had chosen Elmer J. Rurkett for election to the United State senate and that the election would he rati fled at noon Wednesday by the house an4 senute In Joint session. Mr. Rurkett was not present this morning-, but will be tomorrow and will be escorted to the speaker's stand after he Is finally chosen and make a speach. His term of office as senator will begin March 4, when his term ns representative and that ot Senator Dietrich terminate. U nines there Is a special session of congress, Rurkett will not take his seut In the senate until fall, nor his successor to the house be elected before that time. CARi:i:il OF THE KKW SEXATOA Rise of Burkett fro-.: Oosrarltf t Political Promlaeuce. Elmer J. Rurkett secured his Introduc tion Into politics by a nomination from a caucus which was doing business while he had gone home Innocently and put him self to sleep. This was in 1895.

He had up to that time been active In his ward In bringing the voters around to a right understanding of the republican ticket. The machlno needed a man In Bur kett's w:ud to head off the opposition and make the delegation sure. Burkett was given the chance and made a campaign which w is a model of e nergy. Ho landed his delegation and considered he had done uil that whs expocted of him, and had won all the reward dee him. Tho night before the convention a cuueus was held. Burkett was chosen to run for the leg islature. He served one term only and next year was proposed by Lancaster county for congress to succeed J. B. Strode und has been there ever since.
