WARNER GETS SIXTY-EIGHT VOTES TURNERS WILLJJSE ENGLIS-H St. Louis Society Decides to Abandoa the I'ae of German avs tho Official Langnasje. ST. LOUIS, March 17. The members of the St. Loula Turnvereln, the oldest and one of the strongest Turner societies in the city, has taken action agreeing to conduct debates hereafter In the English language. For nearly ten years St. Louis turners have been endeavoring to secure consent of the national body, the Nord Amerlcanlsher Turnerbund, to conduct debates In English, but the national body has steadfastly maintained that all debate and other pro ceedings shall be conducted' in thai German language. The action of the St. Louis Turnvereln was brought about by the elec tion of Julius Seldel to the presidency of the body.' Mr. Seldel Insisted upon a declaration by the society upon whether or not English shall hereafter be the official language of the organisation. He declined to accept the presidency unless English was adopted. After a lenathv debate, in which athrn of both sides argued the point to a finality. the vote resulted in victory for the English advocates. Mr. Seldel was then elected president and accepted. This action Is considered certain to bring the question Iff ore the Nord Amerlcanlsher Turnerbund. as it ia declared ta twi in act opposition to the edict of the national order on that point. A national tournament will be held in Indianapolis in June, and it is predicted the question will come up there ror argument ty the different societies of the country. There are fifteen Turner societies in St. Louis and approximately 10,000 members, and St. Louis is considered the stronghold of the national organisation. RISE ON STOCK FOOD CHECKED Change la Claaaiaeallon Postponed by Ralloas After Objectloa by Manaracturers. The threatened Increased rate by the rail roads on stock food has been postponed and there Is every reason to believe that It will be reduced rather than raised at the July meeting of the olasslttcation committee of the railroada This postponement has been accomplished by a convention of represen tatives of the various stock food companies which met In Chicago recently, at the same time with the meeting of the classification committee. The clarification committee had eliminated classification on stock food In falls and raised that In cartons from the third to second class. The food companies saw that prices would be raised by reason of the raise In rates, thereby lessening competition snd localising trade. Concerns which now do business In many states would be com pelled to reduce their territory to one or two at a tea So a meeting was called of representatives of the companies. George 11. Lee, F. E. Sanborn, M. O. Maberg, Ned Pettit and B. J. McVann were present In ths Interests of the Omaha companies. They succeeded in postponing the new classification until Jftly 1, and a strong effort will .then be made to reduce the rate instead of allowing It to be Increased. Stock food In pails was put back under ths old classtflcatlon. Ko Man Able to Command Fnll Re publican Strength Cockrell Will Probably Be Re-elecetd Today. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 17. After taking Ave joint ballots and once defeaUng a motion to dissolve, the Missouri legisla ture tonight passed the quentlon of select ing a United States senator over until noon tomorrow, the day upon which both branches have agreed to adjourn sine die at S o'clock in the afternoon. Despite all statements to the contrary, the democrats remained firm for former Senator Cockrell all through the eight bal lots taken today and tonight, while the re publicans contented themselves with trying to force the election of one of the candi dates who have been voted on last week. All the members of the Joint assembly but ten were present, and these were paired. Kerens Gets No Votes. Kerens, so far as his name was concerned, was not a factor In tonight's balloting, but his supporters remained united upon their selections, which unfortunately were not in accord with the views of tha other factions. The Nledringhaus men wandered from one candidate to another, never presenting a united front for any one man and their effoits to effect a compromise by means of senatorial timber which had been thor oughly threshed over fur the past week or ten days were not regarded by the Kerens men, who claim that sufficient republicans remained loyal to Nledringhaus to prevent an election, even though all others voted for the harmony candidate. Looks Like Cockrell. Many opinions were expressed after the dissolution of the joint session to the effect that if a senator la elected tomorrow It wjll be former Senator Cockrell, as many be lieve that the republicans demonstrated to night that they cannot get together on a candidate of their own political faith, and that the only solution is to return Cock rell D. W. Hill (rep.), speaker of the house, stated after the joint session that It looked like an election of Cockrell to morrow. Speaker Hill recently declared that he would vote for Cockrell on the last day of the legislature. The sixtieth ballot, which was the last taken, resulted: Cockrell, 82; Nledring haus, 10; Warner, 68; King, 11; Lathrop, 2; Dyer, L Garcia Celebrates Anniversary. LONDON, March 17.

From and after this date the pay of United States court bailiffs and messengers will be S3 per day instead of 82 per day, as heretofore.

These officers are generally appointed by the United States marshal, and already there are several applicants for the privi lege of holdlTig onto a string at the court room doors and to act as guards against any attempt tn kidnap jurors or witnesses.

The War office greatly fears that more of the seige and field guns which Kouropatkln managed to save at Mukden have been sacrificed. Question of Supplies Is Vital. The question of ammunition and food is also vital, as it is known that the Russians were compelled to burn further stores at Tie Pass, where the commissariat was only beginning to feed the half-famished troops when the new retreat was ordered. But even In the face of the possibility of the complete loss of the army and the admitted fart that Vladivostok Is already possibly lost 'the emperor still shows no signs of yielding. Preparations for continuing the war on a larger scale than ever are pro ceeding. The dictum has gone forth that another army of 450,000 men Is to be de spatched, to the far east and In order to avoid delay it has been decided Instead of sending only reserve men to form new armies largely of regular units leaving the reserves to replace the regulars in garrison duty at home. Throughout the war many military men have contended that It waa a fatal mistake to send reserve men to the far east. A division of the Imperial guard will be sent to tha front. It Is not Improb able that some of the csar's conscripts will be sent. Separate armies are to be organ ised under Generals Grockoff, Grippenberg and Kamaroff. Even in the moat optimistic quarters, however, it Is realized that a gen eral mobilisation is likely to be accom panied by widespread disorders unless the composition and functions of the popular representation under the Imperial rescript are more satisfactory than now appears "The Bronce Buatar" One of nine illustrations b Frederic Remington in Collier's Remington Number 44 Remington it not merely an artist: he is a national treasure." Owen Wister Oa Bale Everywhere, March probable. Practically no progress is being made by the Boullgan commission. The emperor has been so much occupied with the war situation that he has twice post poned action on Governor General Boull gan's recommendations and the latter is represented to be so dissatisfied that he desires to resign and turn over his work to his assistant, M. Vatatsl. The war council, it is also understood, has definitely decided that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky shall continue his voyage and give battle to the Japanese In the forlorn hope of wresting control of the sea from Admiral Togo. One Convert to Peace. If Rojestvensky is successful It is claimed that an entire new complexion will be placed on the situation. In the meantime the completely disheart ened ranks of those who are crying for peace are growing, the strangest convert being Prince MestchenBky, who, as shown by his article in the Grashdanin this morn ing, has become suddenly an advocate of reform, declaring that to make an end of the war would not realise more heroism than to conclude peace after victory. He thanks God for sending defeat instead of victory, which, he says, would only cost on with laurels the gaping wounds and miseries of the poverty-stricken people and the "badly fed and badly clothed, but heroic, soldiers, justified robbers of a peaceful country.;' The "glorified, though faithless, servants of the emperor" are exhorted to penitence for the present trials and urged to "give re birth to honor and duty." Oyama Enters Mukden. GENERAL OKU'S HEADQUARTERS, Wednesday, March 16. (6 p. m.) Field Mar shal Oyama and staff entered Mukden this afternoon. They were met at the south gate by many troops encamping near Muki den, displaying their tattered battle flags. The Chinese officials welcomed Field Mar shal Oyama and thousands of Chinese con gregated In the streets to witness his entry. The buildings and streets were decorated and thousands of Japanese flags were ex hibited. Japs Are Moving; Northward. CHANGTUFU, March 16. ( a. m. (De layed.) The rear guard action is continuing almost uninterruptedly. Soldiers wounded In the last fight, to the number of 1,700 were dispatched north from- Tie Pass on March 15. On the morning of March IS the Japanese made their principal attack on the Rus sian left, and in the evening attacked the right also. It is reported that several col umns of Japanese Infantry, with cavalry, are moving north a considerable distance west of the railway with the Intention of cutting the Russians from their base. It seems evident that the advance movement of the Japanese has continued for a long time and perhaps uninterruptedly. The Russians, though fatigued with three weeks of constant fighting, are offering a stubborn resistance In their withdrawal, though not attempting to hold a position which Is naturally open to a turning movement. The wagon trains are gradually assuming order, but many carts are missing, including those carrying private supplies of food. The distribution) department, which has done good work at Kalyuan, will leave today for the north. Capture Mea and Stores. TOKIO, March 17.-( a. m.) A telegram received today from army headquarters in the field says: The railway station at Tie Pans Is a splendid structure and Its arrangements equal those of the atatlou at I.iao Yung. The enemy's provisions and fodder, piled around this station, were set on Are and two-thlrda of the material was destroyed. We have captured numerous spoils, but have had no time to lnveHtlgate Hum. A great number of prisoners have been taken in the direction of the right wing, but the details of their capture nave not yet been received. Port Arthur Refugees Arrive. SAN FRANCISCO, March 17.-V. V. Gra jensky and A. D. Pospetoff, officials In the Rusxian postal service, who have been in Port Arthur for several years, have arrived on the steamer China on their way to Rus sia. Both the officials refused to comment upon the conduct of military affairs at Port Arthur. NEW TORK, March 17.-Tn mystery of the letters addressed to the emperor by revolutionaries which were constantly found In the palace of Tsarskoe Selo has been solved, according to a Herald dispatch from St. Petersburg. The solution came about through the arrest of a page named Verk hovskl, who was examined a few days ago on complaints of his fellow pages and de clared to be mentally disordered. News at Washington. WASHINGTON, March 17.-The Japanese legation has received the following from the Foreign office at Tokio: The railway station and other facilities for communication at Tie Pass are still In existence nearly as much as at Llao Yang after its fall. Of the large number of the Russian provisions and fod der stored near by, two-thirds have been burned by the enemy. The trophies are considerable, but have not yet been counted. The prisoners taken in the direc tion of our right are numerous, but the exact number Is not yet reported. Newton A. McCully, tne representative of the United States navy with the Russian forces in Manchuria, was heard from to day for the first time in three months. For a long time he was with the bealeged forces In Port Arthur, but before the fall of that fortress he was permitted to go to Vladivostok, from which rlace he subae quently proceedod und Joined Kouropat kin's army near Mukden. Today a cable message was received from him, saying that Captain HudBon and Colonel Havard probably have been captured, but that Major McComb was "all right." The prisoners named are Amreican army officers, engaged In observing the opera tions of the Russian forces. The cable message is dated at Aomyna. Fear Trouble la Warsaw. WARSAW, March It. Much uneasiness Is felt here and at Lodz In view of the forth coming mobilization of reserves. The gov ernment has requisitioned all the horses in this district. The workmen ' in the big factories here threaten to strike tomorrow and some of the men In the smaller fac tories walked out today. Japan May Borrow in Germany. NEW YORK, March 17. Negotiations are now under way in Berlin looking to the placing of a Japanese government loan by German bankers. Advices to this effect were received by New York bankers today. The negotiations, it Is understood, have been under way for some days and a definite announcement on the subject la expected shortly. BERLIN, March 17. Inquiries made of bankers here failed to confirm the report that Japan has actually begun negotiations for a loan In Berlin. A similar report ap pears to have arisen simultaneously in Lon don, Paris, Berlin and New York. Although no negotiations have yet been made Japan la probably testing the feelings of Germany towards a loan. The German government does not seem opposed to the project, be cause Chancellor von Buelow today, reply ing to criticisms of Germany taking up the last Russians loans, said it was plainly a private matter and that in the same way Japan was privileged to obtain a loan. NEW YORK, March 17. If satiafactory terms are agreed upon. New York bankers will participate with German financiers in arranging the proposed Japanese loan. Fast Work by Japanese. WITH THE JAPANESE LEFT ARMIES, Thursday, March 16.-U0 a. m., via Fusan, March 17.) The pursuing armies fully occu pied Tie Pass at midnight after a severe fight. The Russians retired north In great confusion after setting fire to the rullway station and supplies. The successful con clusion of the armies' mission makes the movement the greatest of modern history. The armies covered almoHt ninety miles In a fortnight, fighting practically every Inch of the way. It is not probable that the Russians will make another stand south of Harbin. 'Sympathy for Kiruropatkln. LONDON, March 18. No further news re garding the situation lrv Manchuria or the whereabouts of Vice Admiral Rojestven sky e squadron has reached London. The greatest sympathy Is expressed by the Brittxh preea and public for General Kouropatkln, and there ia strong rrltlclxm for the manner of his dlsmlsHal without a word of thanks for past services. General Kouropatkln 1 held to have been to a large extent a victim, throughout tha campaign, of tho interference of former Viceroy Alexleff and tho grand ducal party, and never to have had a free hand or proper support In men and measures. Little or nothing is expected from the appoint ment of General Llnevitch, whoo task is ' admitted to bo almost superhuman. All the St. Petersburg correspondents of London newspapers are most pcsslmlstlev The Mall's correspondent tliinks the cen tral fact of the situation Is that since the blessing of the Neva, January 19, the em peror has been a prisoner at Tsarskoe-Selo and never once has ventured to the capital. He says: In the moment of the greatest national emergency, needing the greatest sympathy between the government and tho people, the ruler remains; secluded behind triple bars and bayonets, as remote and absolutely aloof from the people as if ho were in an other planet. Men Chop Off Fingers. The Post's and other correspondents make gloomy predictions that Internal trou bles will prevent tho continuance of the war. The Telegraph's correspondent says: If the command to mobilize Is oboyed the war will be prosecuted Indefinitely, desplto the failure to flout foreign loans; but nil thlnKH point unmistakably to the spirit of resistance growing among tho people. Men are unfitting themselves for military service by chopping off lingers In such wholesale manner that Uronu Duke Vladimir has turned his attention to that matter. In a word, I am positively con vinced that an Insurmountable obstacle to the continuance of the war will be found In the dogged decision of the people to prefer the risks o open disobedience at home to death In Manchuria or Siberia. This consummation will mark the simul taneous victory of the Japanese abroad and liberalism In Russia.
