LONDON, April 13.— The House of Commons to-day by 270 to 61 votes adopted a resolution sanctioning the employment of Indian troops on the "political mission to Tibet." Secretary Brodrick in introducing the resolution read a telegram from Colonel Younghusband, ,the political agent at the head of the mission, to the effect that Colonel Macdonald, in command: of the escort, reached his goal, Gyangtse, Tibet, April 11 .with out the loss of a man. The telegram added .that the . Tibetans were highly demoralized and were fleeing from the Gyangtse Valley, that the Chinese del egate was . coming in and that- the Tibetan delegates were on their way to Gyangtse. Brodrick proceeded to defend Brit ish action, saying that while. the Tibet ans were trying to circumscribe their relations with India, they simulta neously -were attempting to open :. up relations with Russia. The. British Government ' could not acquiesce . in any change in the status quo in Tibet nor countenance an attempt on the part of any. foreign government to es tablish a predominant interest there. -' .The British Government. -declared Brodrick, had no desire to occupy. the country or to establish *a permanent mission in .Tibet, but thev Government was- absolutely resolved that if any, power is to be^ predominant', in-; Tibet it must be Great Britain. > The ,- ¦' ¦ Liberal? ¦'? leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Barinerman, - : warmly crit icized "and ; condemned the mission and the' "slaughter of the Tibetans," de claring ! that Brodrick'8 explanation? of reasons: of • the expedition was wholly, insufficient.

Watson, accused of em bezxling $73,000 from funds in the cus tody of the Auditor of the District of Columbia, was abruptly ended to-day by the discharge of the jury and the arrest of one of the Jurors, Arthur L. Orrison," for contempt 1 of court. The trial probably will not be begun again until the middle, of May. The termi nation of the case was precipitated by the request ; of Orrison * to . be informed by the court whether Watson was to be tried on the indictment against him or on public : opinion: Justice Pritch ard replied that public opinion had nothing to ; .do with the jury, which was to consider only the law and the evidence." ¦ Assistant District Attorney Taggart moved, the discharge of the jury on the ground that Orrison's question in dicated a prejudice . against the Gov ernment In-th'e case. The court prompt ly discharged the jury, prefacing the action by saying "that the juror is In toxicated, and not in condition to sit In 'the box." When ¦••. the, juror was brought into court Justice Pritchard adjudged Orri son in contempt of court and sentenced him to two months in Jail. \ Engineer Croak's little son, who was riding with him in the cab, cannot be found and is believed to be dead. Three or four tramps who were stealing rides were also killed. . •SPOKANE, Wash..

"National Morality" was the subject discussed by United States Senator Culberson of Texas. William F. Vilas of Wisconsin, former Postmaster' General, responded to the toast!"Falth and Hope." . At. this point a letter wag, read from Franklin K."— Lane of California, iji which he said: i A letter also was read from John S. Williams of Mississippi, Democratic leader of the National House of Rep resentatives. In tlie present struggle between plutocracy and Democracy the corporations are seeking to control the Supreme Court, and if they can do that the House of Representatives, the Sen ate and the President are powerless to protect the pef-ple.

Martin W. Littleton of New York, who took for his subject "The Empire State, the Hope of Democracy," de clared that if a platform along the lines suggested by some of the other speakers was adopted and Judge Par ker selected as a leader, the" Demo cratic party was bound to triumph in the coming election. The following letter from William J. Bryan was read, dated Lincoln, Neb., April 7:* I thank you for the invitation and regret to Fay that I fhall not be able to attend.

CHICAGO, April 13.— Ways and means to bring success to the Demo cratic party in the Presidential cam paign this fall were discussed by prom inent Democrats, representing every part of the country, at the . Iroquois Club banquet at the Auditorium to night ln celebration of Jefferson's birth day. Tariff reform, antagonism to trusts, independence for the Philip pines and rigid economy in public ex penditures were some of the sugges tions offered by the speakers to bring about this result. A feature* of the banquet was the following letter from Grover Cleveland, who had j been in vited to attend, but was. unable to be present: I very much regret the necessity which compels me to decline your courteous Invita tion to attend the celebration of Jefferson's blthday under the auspices of the Iroquois Club. It is especially fitting at this time of confusion ln political ideas and misapprehen sion as to the meaning of true Democracy that the character of the great exemplar of Democracy should be fully appreciated and that his political opinions should be better Interpreted and uoderstood. His devotion to the Interests of the people, his wise conserv atism, and his constant adherence to the public good, always the guiding star of his career, commend his acts and his beliefs to the careful study of those who in these days patriotically seek the welfare of our country through the ascendency of safe and sane De mocracy. The Premier added that the strictest supervision would be exercised to pre vent agents from holding out improper inducements to prospective emigrants. BUDAPEST, April 13.— In the lower House of the Hungarian Diet to-day Premier -Tzima made a lengthy state ment" regarding the proposed extradi tion law. which he said would be In troduced In a few days. It was not intended to promote : emigration, but to surround emigrants who absolutely ref usfed to ; remain ln Hungary with governmental protection and keep in touch with them 'with the view of their ultimate return. Owing to the.',de mands of the steamship companies the Government- had intended^ to institute a line under state control, but, in the meanwhile a contract had been con cluded with - the Cunard line. . .The terms provided for a ten years' con tract, terminable by notice at the end of five' years or in the event of the emigration, falling below 50,000 persons it shouldbe canceled at the end of the third year. In the event of the United States prohibiting immigration the contract was void. The Cunard com pany undertook to make twenty-six trips annually from , Flume to New York, I accommodating 2000 immigrants per trip. Should the total be less than 30,000 persons the Government agreed to pay 100 kronen (about ?20) per head deficit. The Premier said that, the Government would gladly pay the pen alty because it would indicate a fall ing off in emigration. V Prominent Democrats Dis cuss Politics at the Iro quois Banquet in Chicago Hungary Will Offer Induce ments to Emigrants to Re turn to Their Native Land LONDON, April 14. — The Times cor respondent at sea 'off Port Arthur, un der yesterday's date,, reports a ¦ Jap anese torpedo attack, followed .by ; a desultory bombardment. He does not mention the. disaster to the battleship Petropavlovsk. His wireless messages, dated yesterday morning and-after noon, state that Japanese -torpedo boats attacked Port Arthur in the early morning. The bombardment ; ; of the port began at 9:45 o'clock and at 10:40 the fleet was -still shelling the forts. CHEFU, April 14.— An unconfirmed report from Japanese sources states that the Japanese reopened the bom bardment of Port Arthur at 8 o'clock cm Wednesday morning, the vessels maneuvering in a circle before the port. This, action evidently followed the one reported earlier in the day. ' , A private dispatch from Port Arthur says the Japanese attacked, that place at daylight yesterday and that the Russian fleet, assisted by the fire of the forts, drove off the enemy. The dispatch adds that the town was not damaged." The effect of the bombard ment of the forts and fleet was not mentioned. WEIHAIWEI, April 13.— The British gunboat Espiege, which arrived here from Newchwang,. reports. that at 5:45 this morning she sighted five Japanese warships engaging the Russian cruiser Bayan, which was making for Port Ar thur from the direction of the Yalu River. The Askold and another cruis er with three funnels came out of Port Arthur to assist the Bayan. At 6:45 the Russians got under the shelter of the forts, but the Bayan was evidently damaged, as quantities of steam 'were seen escaping from her. At ~$:05 the Japanese ships "opened fire with their heavy guns upon the forts, but the latter did not reply. After a fifteen minute bombardment the Japanese re tired toward the east. It is rumored here to-night that, fol lowing.^ the los's of the Petropavlovsk, Rear Prince Ouktomsky, act ing comander of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur, ; engaged . eighteen; Jap anese, warships' off i. Port' Arthur, this afternoon. . ' ' '• According to later reports Grand Duke Cyril was more seriously Injured than at first believed. He has been re moved to a hospital at Port Arthur for treatment. Despite the statements in the dispatches the Grand Duchess Vladimir believes that her son is dead, saying: "Everybody has been killed, and I cannot believe that Cyril was saved." It is said that Viceroy Alexieff will assume comand of the naval forces in the Far East, presumably pending the arrival of Rear Admiral Rojestvensky. No details as to how Admiral Maka roff met death have been. received. It is said that the Grand Duke Cyril owes his escape- to the fact that he was on the bridge, whence he leaped into the sea and was picked up by a boat from another warship. was due to the fact that the vessel was stripped for action and all of the men were at their stations. * BRAVES TALK OF CAMPAIGN LAW PROTECTS THE SUBJECTS Continued From Page 1, Column 5. EIGHT HUNDRED MEN IRE DROWNED "From every point of view," says the Daily Telegraph editorially, "the dis aster Is* the gravest which has be fallen Russia since the beginning of the j war, even ' If it should prove \ to have been limited to the destruction of the Petropavlovsk. ;. "Admiral Alexleff's dispatch makes this significant addition: 'The full cruising strength of the Port Arthur squadron put to sea in pursuit of Ad miral Togo's fleet' The Japanese, how ever, seem to have deliberately played upon Admiral Makaroff's; enterprising nature to lure him into ; a . fated trap, probably among the Miaotos Islands. "Admiral Togo's command was pres ently discovered to be rapidly concen trating in full strength ahead. ; The Russian admiral, "endeavoring to es cape danger, returned to ; the roadstead. It was evidently, amid the hurry and difficulty of an . attempt to- crowd the squadron through the half choked mouth of the harbor, with the Jap anese pursuit pressing up behind, that the flagship met its fate. "There is thought tor.be -.a singular absence of assurances as to the condi tion of the Russian ships which re turned to the harbor and as to the safety of all except the Petropavlovsk. The Russian narrative is exceptionally lacking in clearness, there being- not to hand that the Russian flagship had been badly handled '• in battle if " she was sunk. "Independent reports keep coming in from merchant ships that heavy firing was going on ; early yesterday morning between Port Arthur and Chefu." 31 AK AROFP LED INTO TRAP. "The loss of the Russian flagship ap pears to me to be an affair big with fate and has been the result of fleet action at sea in the open. The Rus sians have been constantly at sea late ly, and they .generally have been re ported as being some distance off land, mostly to the south, between the end of Liaotung Peninsula and Chefu, and the report that a new searchlight had been erected on the tip of Liaotung seems to corroborate this idea. So it seems that Admiral Togo determined on fleet action, and I think it will be found when the later telegraph conies LONDON, April 13.— That Admiral Marakoff fell Into a trap set for him by Admiral Toga is the . thory which Loridon^is inclined to build upon, the few facts so far known- regarding the Russian disaster at Port. Arthur. At the news of the death of Vice Ad miral Makaroff himself no expressions save those of eympathy and regret for the loss of a brave man and a brilliant officer are heard. Rear 'Admiral Inglis, who knows Admiral Togo personally, writes ln this morning's *Daily Tele graph: "We know for a certainty that no one deplores Admiral Makaroff's loss from a personal view more than Ad miral Togo, and if the, gallant Rus sian's body could be found a'nd rever ently buried by his foes it is quite pos sible "the Japanese Emperor himself would have attended the ceremony." Of the circumstances which preceded and possibly led up to the loss of the Petropavlovsk, Rear Admiral Inglis says: Special Cablegram to Tfce Call and New York Herald.

Why is this concealed and is it the whole of the concealment? It must be assumed that Admiral Makaroff : came out in chase of the five Japanese ships which ." had been worrying the Bayan, and that they had led him on « with admirable judgment. ¦ EVERY 'VESSEL DAMAGED. '"Finally an Italian agency. Issued, upon the authority of its representa tive at Chef u, a sensational report that Admiral Makaroff's escape was cut off among the Miaotos Islands. The Rus sian squadron was surrounded and every vessel was damaged." It looks, according to the Dally Mall, as though the Japanese had stolen in behind 1 the Russians and dropped some contact mines off Port Arthur, for it is difficult to believe the Russians can have been so careless as to lay electro contact mines. ' Fred S. Jane writes in the Daily Chronicle: "Some time ago Admiral Togo claimed to have laid blockade mines off Port Arthur. This claim was probably a bluff, designed to make the Russians think that -none had been laid. The actual laying. is very likely to have taken place the : other night, when the supposed bottling expedition took place." . Spencer Wilkinson in the Morning Popt agrees with the theory that there was a sea fight; that Admiral -Maka roff unexpectedly found himself in the presence of a very large Japanese force and had to retreat.
