a Thursday by Senator Dietrich with
some slight moililirations and passed
It is doubted if any Mil has had any
such a rapid course through congress
as the so-called Kinkaid bill.
Senator Dietrich, .In calling up the
bill, made a brief 'statement showing
that some 9,w0,oot acres of land In the
territory outlined in the bill was sub
ject to the provisions of the measure;
that under existing law it was wholly
impracticable to enter this land under
the present homestead laws for tho
reason that 100 acres were inadequate
to support a family, but that :f (itu
ncres were permitted to be entered it
might bo possible to support a family
on this number of acres through cat
tle raising and dairying.
senator Dietrich explained the bill
wa3 only applicable to Nebraska and
applied to the great semi-arid region
of his slate. The senator's explana
tion of the bill was clear, short and
directly to the point, lie was nsked
whether it changed existing homo
stead laws and stated that it did not

bill. . .

ed the amendments made In the sen

and that he would move to concur In
them when the bill came to tho house.
Senator Dietrich, in view .of the ac
tion Wednesday by the public lands
committee, began a systematic can
vass of the committee, and when tho

port the bill with the minor' amend
ments suggested. His hnndling of tho

and this morning the Japanese forced
a passage of tho Yahi, two compa

and Saiopousslkhe. Heavy firing was
heard near Tatung Kau. in which it is
believed that the Japanese made a
feint in order to distract attention
from tho real point of passago So far
no bridge spans the river.
LONDON. Inquiries made by tho
Associated Press here reveal no trace
of any effort or intention to intervene
in tho Russo-Japanese war. No step
looking to a pacific settlement of tho
conflict has been taken by the foreign
ofilco, nor, so far as known in Down
ing street, by Kinng Edward himself.
Those who have discussed tho war
with the king within tho last few days
say that such a step is the last thing
ho contemplates.
Such a step, however, Informally
taken, so it Ic Meld here might ser
iously endanger tho negotiations now
progressing between Great Britain
and Russia with a view to tho settle
ment of outstanding difficulties be
tween the two countries.
King Edward and tho foreign office
are fully aware that any offer or even
suggestion looking to peace at the
present stago would bo resented by
both Japan and Russia, and it is de
nied that the king, even in tho family
circle at Copenhagen has suggested
mediation, much less intervention.
His majesty has expressed sympathy
with his royal relative over the losses
sustained by tho Russian fleet, but ho
has been equally thoughtful toward
tho mikado.
Henry Norman, M. P., who was re
ceived in special audience by King
Edward on his return from Russia,
said that any personal or national at
tempt to step in between the combat
ants seemed to him to be outside the
rango of rational surmise and that he
would be very much surprised indeed
if tho king had done or said anything
which would give rise to such a rumor.

only ono appropriation bill to bo

ever, and It is expected there will bo
more or less discussion of conference
reports. The general calendar is very
neavy and an effort will be made to
IKiss as many of these measures as
possible.
There are a number of provisions
in the military ncademy bill which
will be debated at some length. This
bill probably will be taken pp tomor
row, but it may give way to other
business, incliidina: a speech by Mr,
CuIIom on tho country's foreign af

the subject of the tariff and trusts.
There also will be some speeches dur
Ing the week on the desert land bill,
and it Is probable that the conference

"In the guise of beggars, ragpickers

Energy Wasted After Business Hours.
A great many people dissipate more
energy between the time when they
leave their work at night and when
they return to it in tho morning than
they expend all day in their vocations,
though they would be shocked und of
fended if anyone were to tell them
so. They think that physical dissipa
tion Is the only method of energy-
sopping. But men nnd women of ex
emplary moral habits dissipate their
vitality In a hundred wavs. They in

they fret; they fear this, thnt, and
the other imnglnary thing; and they
carry their business home with them,
and work as hard menially after bad
ness hours as during them. Sucev.,
