DISCI SS GERMAN NAVAL, AFFAIRS
Socialist Leader Objects to Large
Appropriation for Ships.
BERLIN, Feb. 2t.-In the Reichstag to
day, during the discussion of the naval ap
propriation, Herr Bebel, the socialist leader,
said that If Germany accepted the naval
league's guidance it would. It was esti
mated, spend $781,260,000 in additions to the
fleet Germany, he added, had better aim
I at the culture of Ita people and the amellor
, at Ion of social condition rather than waste
the proceeds of labor on useless armament.
"Against whom are these. Immense naval
preparations directed T" asked Herr Bebel.
"England 7 We can never compete with
' England on the sea. We have not the
money, nor Is such rivalry essential to our
security. Bea power Is necessary to Eng
land, but not to us.
"France! The superiority of our land
forces Is a sufficient guarantee of our
safety.
. Russia? It will require decade to recup
erate. "North America? War with It is unthink
able." Herr Bebel affirmed that the Inordinate
increase of the fleet, its doubling as the
naval league demanded, would be in vain
as respect to policy and beyond Germany's
means as respect to finance, and the price
It would cut from the skin of the working
man. . .The speaker critclsed the emperor for tel
egraphing his commendation to the naval
league, and other members of the German
royal families for thiir cordial support of
the league, which wanted to double the
fleet.
Admiral von TIerplti, secretary of the
admiralty, replying briefly, said that Em
peror William only gave hisacknowledg
ment of the alms of the naval league and
not of any specific program. The secretary
added that a navy strong in proportion to
the national strength was an essential part
of the latter's development.

TSINKHETCHEN, Feb. 25. The Japanese
attack on Beresneff hill developed into an
encounter of the most sanguinary nature.
The Japanese pressing forward a bayonet
charge were received with pyroxylin hand
grenades or were blown up by buried mines
and the Japanese machine guns, which
took positions to support the advance, were
silenced for a time and beaten back. The
Japanese came on with greater resolution.

the hill In face of greatly superior numbers
and a determined aeries of attacks which

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 25. General
Sakharoff, General Kouropatkin's chief of
staff, in a dispatch dated today, reports
that when the Japanese attacked and cap
tured Beresneff hill February 24, after
severe lighting, they were In superior force
and advanced literally over the bodies of
their own men. The Japanese loas was
very heavy, the dead lying In heaps. The
Russian looses have not yet been ascer
tained. ,
Belated official reports of the attack on
the Russian left at Tslnkhetchen do not
satisfy the curiosity of the public as to
what is going on in Manchuria, but the
military authorities explain that the Japa
nese probably are attempting only to force
in the Russian advanced position. An As
sociated Press dispatch from Tslnkhetchen
Is interrupted at an Interesting point and
does not give the losses or final results of
the battle, but it Is evident both sides lost
heavily.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 25. Advices
from Batoum say tke prefect of police and
several leading merchants of that city have
been assassinated and that numbers of Ot
toman subjects have been murdered by
Georgian strikers. The ports has drawn
the attention of the Russian embassy to
the situation and the latter has promised
the necessary protection.
Revolutionary manifestos in favor of a
republic are being circulated broadcast In
Batoum. The movement Is not confined to
the city workers, but has many adherents
among the peasants and agricultural
classes who claim that the land owners
are treating them as serfs. The whole of
the Caucasus is said to be seething with
disaffection. Armenians, Jews and people
of other nationalities and creeds are aid
ing the strikers, who appear to be acting
under the orders of a committee at St.
Petersburg.
neporta Are Dlsqnletlnsj.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. io.-The reports
today, both from Poland and tha Caucasus,
are very disquieting.
Owing to lack of direct telegraphic com
munication with many places In the Cau
casus, verification of the countless -rumors
afloat Is Impossible, but it Is positively
known that almost a reign of terror exists
In the territory between the Caspian and
Black seas. Private vengeance has
glutted the streets of Baku, Batoum and
Tiflls with dead Armenians and Mussel
mans. The reports, however, of. the cap
ture of Russian garrisons and of the firing
of the Black sea fleet on Poll, etc., are not
confirmed. ,
In Poland the strike situation Is once
more assuming a critical stage, and It Is
feared the authorities may again be forced
to adopt violent measures.
The railroad strike situation In southern
Russia la also more serious. TrafTio on
half a doien roads has been stopped, caus
ing still further difficulties In the trans
portation of grain and coal and bringing
things to a standstill.
Over 160,000 carloads of grain await move
ment In the. Volga district and several hun
dred thousand tons of coal for the Iron
and steel manufacturers, cannot be budged
from the Donetsky collieries. ' Added to
this Is the dangerous agrarian movement
among the peasants of some of the south
ern provinces as a result of the circulation
of a report that the emperor on March 4
will Issue a manifesto providing for a gen
eral division of lands, which has been the
dream of tin peasants ever since their
emancipation. Here In St. Petersburg the
workmen nre In a constant state of agi
tation. The employers are unable to deal
with the men, who walk out and resume
work on alternate days. There are now
over 40,000 men Idle and walking the
streets.
The Russ says the committee on minis
ters decided at yesterday's meeting to In
definitely postpone the consideration of the
question of convocation of a zemsky sabor
owing to the impossibility of summoning
the assembly until exhaustive rules govern
ing the examination thereof, etc., have been
drawn up.

ness and since that time the father and

MAN MYSTERIOUSLY INJURED
E. R. Morgan Found by His Family
Cneonsclons on His Oni
( Doorstep.
E. R. .Morgan, who Uvea at 1518 North
Seventeenth street, was found lying uncon
scious Just at the door of his own house at
8 o'clock last evening by members of his
family. At an early hour this morning he
was still In an unconscious state.
Morgan left the holise about 7 o'clock last
evening and said he was going to the meat
market of Joe Houska, 2623 Sherman
avenue, and about an hour later some of
the members of his family, hearing what
seemed to be a rap, went to the door and
found the man lying unconscious on the
doorstep. Dr. Vance was at once sum
moned and gave the ma., all the aid pos
sible. An examination showed Morgan's
right Jawbone was probably fractured and
the left side of his face was badly scratched
and bruised, and Judging from the appear
ance of his clothes It was thought he had
been slugged on his way to the market and
had managed to crawl back to the house.
This suspicion was further Increased when
It became known that during the day he
had $70 on his person." This, together with a
silver watch that he usually carried, were
missing.
L'pon mnkjng Inquiries at the market it
wns discovered he had not been to tho
place, nor had he been seen by any of his
friends any time after he left the house.
Later the watch was found at the house,
as he had not taken It with him, and a $20
bill was found In the corner of one of his
pockets. As he was still unconscious the
police at an early hour this morning were
uncertain whether he had been robbed or
had slipped and fallen in some manner.

with Director Wolcott. that there would be
no artesian wells sunk In his district or
any other district during the coming spring.

ton made a significant remark that he un
derstood at least $20,000,000 would be added
to the bill In the senate, "and you know,
with the government facing a deficiency,
we can never stand for that Increase."

day he would appear before the committee
and ask for an appropriation of $250,000 for
the improvement of the Missouri river over
and above the amount carried for that
stream In the bill as It passed the house.
Senator Klttredge gave notive of an
amendment he would make to the bill by
striking out the restriction surrounding
that clause of the bill relating to Missouri
river Improvement by making the appro
priation of general character and stipulat
ing that it should be of a continuing char
acter and changing the amount of the ap
propriation from $60,000 to $100,000.
Representative Martin secured an amend
