With refer ence to the report published In the United States under a St. Petersburg date that Emperor Nicholas has sanctioned the ex penditure of $03,(00,1)00 for the rebuilding of the Russian navy, has elicited the fact that the rebuilding of the navy has not been determined. All that is positively known Is that the plans cover a long period of years. The absolute necessity of a sea power Is one of Russia's latest lessons of the present war and with practically the complete destruction of the Port Arthur fleet the government Is determined not only on filling the gap, but on building up the fleet, which will keep Russia fully abreast of other first-class powers. The press has unanimously supported the plans of the government for the regeneration and reor ganlxatlon of the navy, and to this end it has been determined to build up great ship yards at home. The figures given, how ever, are not confirmed. The Russ, on December 30, speculated upon a five-year program with an expenditure of ia.0U0.000, and on December 31 upon a flfteen-yeur program and 1750,000,000 expenditure. HYMENEAL. Kraiuer-Tlnime.

A LOVELY COMPLEXION New York Lady Proves That Every Woman May Have It By USING CUTICIJRA SOAP Mrt. R. Reicbtnberg, wife of the well-known jeweller of 146 Fulton St., New York, says : " I had a friend who was justly proud of her complexion. When asked what gave her such a brilliant and lovely complexion, she replied, 'A healthy woman can be sure of a fine skin if she will do as I do. use plenty of Cuticura Soap and water.' She insisted that I follow her example, which I did with speedy con viction. 1 find that Cuticura Soap keeps the akin soft, white, and clear, ajid prevent redacts and rougkBC,' WOMEN' FATOR THE CANTEEN y Lttgne f Witm aid Ptighten of Offictn Adopt BesslitioDt. INCLUDE MANY TOTAL ABSTAINERS AH Army C haplalas and Others Who See Soldier as He la Endorse Proposition for Repeal of Claase. (From a Sta.T Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jan. l.-lSpeclal.)-The action of the Woman a Army and Navy league, composed of the wives and daugh ters of officers of the army and navy, in unanimously adopting a resolution provid ing for the restoration of the sale of beer and light wines in the canteens at army posts Is regarded as of the very greatest Importance and it Is expected will have a decided bearing upon the effort now be ing made to restore the canteen.- The membership of the league at present is almost l,0uO, representing women scattered all over the face Of the earth, eauh one of whom is taking an active Interest in the work of the organization. Each neces sarily comes In dally contact with the sol diers and sailors and all are therefore In a position to 1 know what will benefit these men, better In every way than persons who 1 have Ilttlo nr no onuortunltv for close Con tact with the army and the navy. "Every woman IS Interested in keeping our soldiers out of the liquor saloons and degrading associations." said the wife of a general staff "officer the other day, "and everyone who is a member of the league will be found working aealously for a repeal of the so-called anti-canteen law of Febru ary, 19ul, which simply prohibited the sale of beer and light wines. There Is no ques tion In our minds as to the advisability of re-establishing beer as one of the bev erages dispensed at the canteen. At the time the bill passed congress abolishing the sale of alcoholic liquors of every kind there was no question as to what the effect of the bill would be. Congress, through the War department, sent letters of Inquiry to of ficers of the army stationed all over the country and In the Philippines, and 99 per cent of the replies were agulnst the pass age or adoption of any legislation which would affect the status of the canteen as then existing. " Many Are Total Abstainers. "In the Woman's Army and Navy leaguo there are many women who would not per mit liquor of any kind to come into their homes, who are total abstainers in the strictest sense of the word, but who, through their study of the matter from Its practical side, from the side that affects the soldier the most, endorse without reser vation the proposition for the repeal of the anti-beer clause In the army regulations. All the army chaplains are In favor ot It, and there are few others who ever have opportunity to see the soldier as he really Is who are not hearty In their endorse ment. We do not seek subterfuge In bring ing out this petition. ' We aro heartily ana unqualifiedly In favof of the sale of beer In the canteen and every one of us is deter mined to leave no stone unturned to secure the repeal of what we regard as an Iniqui tous law." The officers of the league Include Presi dent, Mrs. George Sj. Sternberg; vice presi dents, Mrs. J. O. Kelton, widow of the late General John C. Kelton, adjutant general of tho army, and Mrs. B. H. Buckingham; honorary vice president, Mrs. Frederick Townsend;, secretary, Mrs. 1 H. Schrelncr; executive committee, Army, Mrs. Adna R. Chaffee,, Mrs. Georgar t-., Gillespie.

Chester. .'. ! - Washington City Shows Gain. When the new Washington city directory makes its appearance In January It will be found that tho population of tho capital city Is now about 320,000, an Increase of from 6.000 to 8,000 over that of last year. The directory will register more than 100,000 names, at least 8,000 more than Its predeces sor. For the first time It has been possible to take the census of employes of the Wash ington navy yard and the government print ing office, which officials have heretofore refused to permit. However, during the progress of the canvassing for the directory many persons left Washington to vote, and the list, which under other circumstances would have been unusually long, has been somewhat curtailed. Last year showed the greatest increase In 'population, the com pliers figuring It at 15,000. Contests for Senatorshlps. Contests over Vnited States senatorships In several states will interest the politi cians from the convening of congress on until helr final settlement. Beginning early In January many legislature throughout the country will be in session, but tho legislatures that will attract most attention will be those of Delaware, Minne sota and Wisconsin , where interesting lights are promised. The Delaware tight, which, like the poor we have always with us. Is raging fiercely. Mr. "Gas" Addlcks has announced the beginning of his bi annual campaign for a seat In the upper branch of congress and In consequence there Is a monkey and parrot time In progress over the distribution of the politi cal plums between the regular ; and the union republicans. The. dispatches from Dover say that th Addlcks faction, num bering twenty-two out of the thirty-one republican legislators, have demanded two thirds of the offices, which demand has been met with a sickening refusal, the minority faction of the republican party In sisting that they must get more offices than one-third, otherwise there will be no organization of the legislature and conse quently no election of senator. In Minnesota It is a three-cornered fight between Senator Clapp for re-election, Governor Van flan! and Judge J. B. Gil Allan. Senator Clapp has the backing of Senator Knute Nelson, who Is regarded as one of the smoothest politicians In that neck o' woods. But Senator Clapp - has Governor Van Bant to figure with and It Is doubtful whether Minnesota ever had a more popular chief executive than this fame Van Sant. The governor Is a fighter from away back, not with damascus blades, but with bludgeons, and he Is after Clapp because he says that he has gone back on the promises made to him. As for Judge GUflllan, he has the big Hennepin County delegation at his bark. Senator Clapp does not have the entire support of the St. Paul and Ramsey county delegation and the presence of Governor Van Sant in the fight splits Up Senator Clapp's 1 country support so that there is no sure thing for anybody. It Is anybody's fight and might re sult In the choice of a dark horse like James A. Tawney, a member of congress or ex-Member of Congress Joel P. Heat wo'.e. Who will come from Wisconsin T There Is a fight alongside of which all other fights pale Into. Insignificance. Senator Quarles, the chief fugle man of the antl iJiFolhtte faction, Is a candidate for re election, but It Is thought by everybody In these parts that his struggle is hopeless. The control of the legislature by the La Pullette faction foreshadows the defeat of Benatnr Quirles. But up to this time the I.aFullette men have not agreed among themselves as to the seiuUorshlp. Repre sentative Escn and the very rich Mr. Uaao N. Stevenson are In the race and each claims strong support. Even though there has been no agreement reached by Governor I-aFollette and his friends as to a successor to Senator Quarles, It is not thought for a moment but that an under standing will be arrived at In ample time to bring about an election, prior to March 4. It is even hinted that should needful legislation be enacted In good time that Governor LaFollette himself might be averse to tackling the Job of holding down a senate seat himself. This might make the boys mad, but as he has been the active, resourceful head of the faction that has been fighting Senator Spooner for years. It might not be regarded as party treachery If LaFollette should accept the senatorshlp himself. Having won such a phenomenal victory as he did in Novem ber last It Is not believed that Governor LaFollette will permit any bickerings or quarrellngs In his camp and that when the time comes a solid and enthusiastic front will be presented to the enemy. "fihste to J. Hampton Moore. The appointment of J. Hampton Moore, president of the Republican National league, as chief of the bureau of manu factures, Department of Commerce and Labor, Is looked upon In Washington as an exceedingly grateful tribute on the part of the president to 'a sterling young re publican whose ability Is particularly well known In the east. Mr. Moore was former city treasurer of Philadelphia, going out of office on January 1, 1904. Up to the time of his election as city treasurer of Philadelphia Mr. Moore was connected with the staff of the Public Ledger, join ing that paper In 1SS3 and becoming the real estate and labor editor under the late George W. Chllds. He has been one of the most active republicans in the (Junker City and as he Is a gifted orator he has been much In demand by political organisations throughout the country. His work as president of the National Republican league brought him particularly to the attention of I'resident Roosevelt, and as he displayed ability as an organizer the president, In casting about for a chief of the manufactures bureau of the Depart ment of Commerce, hit upon Mr. Moore. After consultation with Senator Penrose and the political leaders of the Keystone slate It was unanimously decided to tender the place to Mr. Moore. And he will enter upon his duties shortly after the new year. Irrigation from Green River. The reclamation service has finished a recounalsance survey of Green river be tween Green river, Wyoming, and Ouray, Utah. The survey was made to determine the most favorable location for a storage reservoir which would control the entire flow of the river. A number of reservoir sites were visited and examinations were made of the width of the river valley and the slope of the river for the purpose ot estimating the capacity of these, reservoirs. One of the important sites examined Is known as the Flaming Gorge reservoir, lo cated forty miles south of Green River City, and sixty-six miles below that town by river. The dam site Is in Flumlng Gorge canon, about one and a half miles below the mouth of Henry Fork. The slope of the river above Henry Fork is quite uniform, being two feet per mile at Henry Fork and three feet per mile at Brldger valley. The capacity of the reservoir, with a 100-foot dam. Is between 300,000 and 30,000 acre feet. To Impound the water in Flaming Gorge would require a dam 800 feet long at crest and 3S0 feet long at the water surface. The land covered by the reservoir site Is chiefly unimproved. Brown's Park reservoir, located fifty-five miles south of Rock Springs, Wyo was also examined. The dam site Is in the upper end of Ladon canon, where a 100 foot dam would store 850,000 acre feet ot water. The land covered by this reservoir Is chiefly winter pasture land. - Approxi mately 600 acres of Irrigated " land along BeaveT, Willow and Grouse creeks and In the bottoms of Green river would be cov ered by the reservoir. Examinations were also made of Island Park reservoir, located twenty-two miles northeast of Vernal. Utah, In Split Moun tain canyon; the Narrows reservoir site, located fourteen miles southeast of Vernal In the Narrows, and the bura reservoir site at Utah. The capacity of the first men tioned reservoir is 150,000 acre-feet. The Ouray reservoir site includes the lower valleys of the Duchesne and White rivers. From the preliminary examination the en gineers concluded that Browne park Is the most favorable location for a storage reser voir, 'and a detailed survey was made of the site on a scale of one Inch to 2,(00 feet. With a dam 200 feet high In the canyon the area of the contour Is thlrty-nino square miles, the acreage area 25,2-0, and the total capacity 2,415,230 acre-feet. It is expected that the surveys will be continued during the coming season, with a view of prepar ing plans for a large reclamation project In this section. Omaha Man's Success. Thll Rose was In town last week. That ts Phil M. Rose of New York, but formerly of Omaha and the Union Pacific railroad. Rose came east to go into the liquor busi ness and It was but a short time when he became known to the trade as one of the best agents In the country. The money didn't come fast enough for him, however, and so he kept his eye open for u partner to establish a wholesale liquor company of his own. The partner hus been found and Phil Rose will become a member of the firm of Levy, Rose & Co. efte Janu ary 1, supplying Jobbers all over the coun try with "wet" goods. That's what bound less enthusiasm will do for a man. A new postofflce has been established at White, Hayes county, Neb., with Schuyler D. Cole as postmaster. This service will require a star route from Maywood. Arthur L. Barneby has been appointed postmaster at Cairo, Hall county, vice S. M. Cole, resigned. DOWIE TO F0UNSEC0ND ZION Secures Tract of Million Acres of Fertile. Land In Old Mexico. CHICAGO.

I - COLD SHOULDER TO IRVINE Dtpoiei Iictor Makes a Hurried Viiit to lis Old Home. STORMY SCENE WITH ONE VESTRYMAN Telegram Which He Denied fendtng Ren-ardln Presentation Against Bishop la Prod area and Confounds. Him. HUNTINGDON, Pa., Jan. l.-Rev. Dr. 1. N. W. Irvine, the deposed pastor of St. John s Episcopal church, who arrived here from Philadelphia last night and Imme diately sought seclusion In the home of Vestryman W. F. Hlllier, one of the men whose names appear on the presentment ot Bishop Ttlbot, left for the east today. Dr. Irvine looked careworn and hag gard. During his short visit he maintained an uninterrupted silence to all newspaper Interviewers. At the station a reporter for the Associated Press was cordially greeted by Dr. Irvine, but the clergyman would give no information concerning the purpose of the visit. Vestryman Hlllier was like wise sTent. Dr. Irvine's nnexpected departure today Is viewed Inexplicable, alike by his friends and opponents. He communicated with none of his former vestrymen or parishion ers and denied himself to all friends. It Is generally believed that the briefness of his visit was due to his failure to Influence the vestrymen who have repudiated their sig natures on the presentment to permit their names to remain on that paper. It is un derstood that an effort was made by Dr. Irvine to communicate with John Langdon, one of the men who repudiated the present ment, but without success. When asked today whether he had seen Dr. Irvine Mr. Langdon said: "No, and I don't want to. He knows better than to come to my houss. I feel deeply grieved at the publicity my name has been given In the matter and , would gladly escape any further annoy ance. It seems that Irvine's sole purpose Is to destroy the tranquillity of our parish." Miller Received Telegram. It Is now definitely known that Vestry man W. G. Miller did receive a telegram with Dr. Irvine's name signed to It asking him to keep quiet and that a letter ex plaining the .misrepresentation would fol low. Counsellor Herbert Noble denies that such a telegram was sent by the deposed clergyman. Since the receipt of the tele gram Vestryman Miller, who received the signatures to the presentment, has brusquely refused to speak further on the subject. In expectation of Dr. Irvine's visit to St. John's church a larger crowd was col lected than the little church could accom modate. The rector, Dr. T. M. Johnson, made no reference to the present contro versy which had Its origin In the parish under Dr. Irvine's rectorship. Mrs. Elliott, whose name has been con spicuously used In the case and who was denied communion by Dr. Irvine, attended the services today. After Dr. Irvine's departure some of the details of his visit became known. It was learned that Dr. Irvine and Mr. Hlllier had some differences over the telegram received by Mr. Miller and that Dr. Irvine left the Hilller house and spent the night at tho home of Mr. Miller. After Dr. Irvine's arrival last night Mr. Hilller called at the homo of James Dcnlthorne ant In formed him that Dr. Irvine would like to see him. Mr. Langdon was present. Mr. Dcnlthorne replied that If, Dr. Irvine wanted to see lUm he knew where to find him. Dr. Irvine, be said, certainly owed him an explanation, but he did not pro pose to hunt up the clergyman to get It. During the rfonvVysatlon the Miller tele gram was mentioned by Mr. Denlthorne and Mr. Miller said that Dr. Irvine had, Informed him that he had not sent such a message. Mr. Denlthorne produced the original telegram received by Mr. Miller, which surprised Mr. Hilller. The latter then returned home and had a warm Inter view with Dr. Irvine, the outcome of which was that the clergyman went to the home of Mr. Miller. Presentment Will Fall. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1. Weary ,and al most worn out from the strain he has been under during the past week. Rev. Dr. I. N. W. Irvine returned here from Hunting don, Pa., tonight. lie was met at the rail road station by his son-in-law and newspa per reporters. He refused to speak of his visit to Huntingdon and went Immediately to his home. After dinner he attended serv ices at the Church of the Savior, of which Rev. Dr. W. B. Bodlne, chairman of the Board of Inquiry, is rector. After the serv ices Dr. Irvine was again met by newspa per men but he persisted In his refusal to discuss his trip to Huntingdon or to answer questions put to him. There is a growing feeling among the clergymen here 4onlght that the proceed- ! Ings brought by Dr. Irvine against Bishop Talbot will fall If the Huntingdon vestry men persist In their repudiation of having signed the presentment. It Is believed that If the Huntingdon men officially Inform Bishop Tuttle, the. presiding bishop, that they did not knowingly sign a presentment, that the St. Louis prelate will officially dis solve the board. BETHLEHEM. Pa., Jan. l.-BIshop Ethelbert Talbot of the central Pennsyl vania diocese filled his offices at the cathe dral at Mauch Chunk today. There were no developments here today In the Irvine Talbot case. The bishop, his family and their friends continue to remain silent. Bishop Talbot denies the report that he had finally decided to Issue a statement regard ing the charges made against him. FIGHT CROWS WARM (Continued from First Page.) While the action of Burkett's managers may not result In any serious trouble for Butkett at this time, In so far as his can didacy for the senate Is concerned, It will have the effect of placing him in the senate, not as the personal choice of the members of the legislature, but as the object of circumstances and he will be elected with out the personal regard of many of the legislators, whom his managers have whipped into line. One of the busiest men around these days j is iieiiry 1.. in. vuiirai, uunirman ot ine republican state committee. Burgess pos sesses the happy faculty ot trying to get on all sides' at once, without allowing the right hand to know what the left hand doeth. Burgees wants to go to congress when Mr. Burkett shall have been promoted and he can only go by the grace of the voters of the First Congressional district. Just at this time the legislators in. this dis trict ars desirous of placing a South Platte man In the speaker's chair. The Union Pacific-Northwestern railroad Is responsible for Burgess being chairman of the state committee and also for thj vote of thanks tendered him by the committee. This or ganization la for Douglas for speaker and in this contest every vote will count. Con sequently Burgess is between the devil and the deep sea. If he doeun't get In the South Platte combination he Is forever lust In so far as a seat In congress Is concern tl and If he does get In this combination he will have the Union Pscltlc-IIummonda, 81xer-Burkett-Norlh Western combination on his back like a pack of wolves. Mr. Chair man Burgess Is having a strenuous time. An interesting envelopment 1 today, was that Koetter, who wants to be serges nt-at-arms of the house. Is not a part of the machine that Is trying to make Westberg chief clerk of the house. Instead, West berg's friends are afraid of Koetter. Lnt night one of them called upon him te withdraw and throw his Influence tn West berg. Koetter turned down the proposi tion with scorn. Koetter realizes that If Westberg Is made It will hurt him. be cause these two could not possibly land. "It would be a pretty out for me to come down here and work for Westberg." he said, "wouldn't It? I want to be sergeant-at-arms of the house and if Westberg Is elected It will hurt my chances." Koetter hai changed considerably since he was here two years ago In that he announced todity that he was opposed to the railroads or ganizing the legislature and was of the opinion that the member should do the organising. Among the outsiders here looking on la former Representative Spurlock of Cass county. Two years ago Mr. Spurlock was quite a factor In the house, but at the close of the session he removed to Omaha and became the law partner of Tom Black burn, against the advice of many of his Cass county friends. This morning he expressed himself as being extremely snrry that he was not now a member of the old guard. He and Blackburn, however, have dissolved partnership. Before gnlng to Omaha Spurlock was looked upon as good congressional timber from this district, but he has missed his opportunity, v Seme Fnn with Knox. Represrntatlvs Knox of Buffalo county, one of the strong members of the last house, came In last night and was abused shamefully, though good-naturedly, be cause at one time during the campaign It was reported that ho was afraid of the outcome. Judge Aaron Wall, senator from the same district, was called upon to verify the chargo against Knox. The latter retaliated when Wall stood against him by charging that Wall was more scared than he. "I was a little frightened over Knox's chances," replied the Judge, "that's a fact, though of course I never felt the least bit of uneasiness concerning the outcome of my own fight." Knox went off by himself to study up needed legisla tion. Convenes at Two O'clock. The legislature will convene at 12 o'clock Tuesday, at which time the sec retary of state will call the house to or der and the lieutenant governor will call the senate to order. A committee of five will be chosen In the house and a com mittee of ihree will be elected In the senate to pass on the credentials of the members. When this Is done the mem bers of each house will proceed to a pVr manent organisation. The oath will be administered by Chief Justice H'olcomb of the supreme court. The statutes limit the house to seventy-five employes and the senate to sixty-five. This Is going to cause much grief and consternation among the applicants for places, for they are more numerous than klnfolks and Just as insistent. In the matter of employes both houses will keep the number down to the lowest limit,' and there Is going to be some sore spots before the session is over and there will be plenty of dis appointed and aggrieved members to see that the majority does not overstep the bounds of economy, unless the minority gets In, and the minority won't. In this case the minority does not mean fusionlsts, but losing republicans. Knslonlsts Are Ioneome. Diligent search was made last night to get a line on the fusionlsts to find where they were In conference, but without success. Even a rumor to the effect that a telegram had been received from Tom Taggart ask ing whether the fusionlsts would caucus in the Oliver theater or the Auditorium failed to disclose their whereabouts. It was rumored that Gerdes of Richardson county would be given a complimentary vote for speaker, but even this could not be verified. In the meantime a careful watch Is being kept for the fusionlsts for either side In the speakership fight be able to land them all and thus- break a slate fixed up In the caucus. Among the legislators here last night and today were: Members of the house: W. H. Wilson of Pawnee, H. R. Howe of Nemaha, William Deles Dernier of Cass, Frank Fltle of Douglas, Robert A. Smith of Burt, J. C. McElhlnney of Burt and Washington, Frank P. Voter of Pierce, H. C. M. Bur gess, Joseph Burns, James G. Holllett. John R. McClay and Chancey J. Warner of Lancaster; Delbert A.

PROSPEROUS BUSINESS YEAR New York Life Insurance Company Makes av Itecord to Be Proud Of. NEW YORK, Jan. l.-(Speclal Telegram.) The several financial reviews Indicate that 1904 has been a year of very great prosperity. Tho president's message, with Its recommendations ss to the tariff and control of the public corporations has been very favorably commented upon by the business interests and no fear Is expressed that extreme opinions on either side will prevail In congressional enactment. The great corn and cotton crops have made the west and south prosperous and comfortable and the labor situation In the manufactur ing districts ot the north and east is most satisfactory. The banking Interests in all sections report excellent results for fhe year. The insurance business, except for the Baltimore fire, has never been more prosperous. The life part of It is mani fested by the yearly report of the New York Life company. President McCall states that the year has produced the largest business ever reported by any similar com pany. The policy holders are nearly 1,000, 000 In number, and the Insurance in force approximates 12,000,000,000 In. amount. The last quarter of the year added nearly 13J, OOO.Ouo of applications for new Insurance In a total exceeding fo00,C00,000 for the year. The company's policy reserve securities Include government, state, municipal and railroad bonds to the extent of 1290,000,000. No stocks of any kind are held as Invest ments, and no bond In the list is In default of interest. The company during the sixty years of its existence, has paid In claims to policy holders over $460,000,000. The enormous exports of the fiscal year, 1,400,JS,000. and the advance orders In the steel and iron trade all Indicate that 19u5 will be a record year, unless labor troubles, which are not looked for new, arise to change tae situation. r PR0GR1MS OF TWO HOUSES Hill Currency Bill Hai Eight ef Way en the Hen.se Side.
