appropriation bill In the house to-
night, made a sensational attack up
on ' Captain Robert E. Peary, - de
nounclng him as a "faker" and de

' The bitter word used , by the mem-
ber from Arkansas called out a quick
reply from Peary's friends. Repre

Pennsylvania, characterised Mr. Ma
con's speech as "unjust, outrageous
and offensive."
Ho said there was alvsnys some one
to be found to - suspect .every per

age. He referred to .Captain Hob
son's .exploit of the Merrlmac and
to Rewey's victory at Manila bay.
, "Hence like these," said Mr. Moore,

with every dor that barks at their

-,, Mr. Macon declared that Peary's
whole story was "a fake pure and
simple." He said his contempt - for
"fake heroes" was supreme' and he
Intimated that he put the "hero of
San Juan Hilt" In that class. At this
point the newspaper men In he press

Mr Macon denounced the Peary

RUSSIA; TIRED OF
LONG DELAYS MAY
WAR WITH CHINA
Threatens to Bring Immediate Pres
sure to Bear on Slumheiyng Giant
To Enforce Russian Rights,
WASHINGTON, Feb. II. Notice of
Russia's Intentions regarding China
reached the state department today
through the American embassy at,
sla . weareed .of what It regards
Russian warship of what Is regards
as persistent disregard by .China of
Bt. Petersburg. It appears that Rus
sia, la about to bring pressure to
bear to enforce her rights, even to
the extent, of a military demonstra
tion tn the province of Ilijlll, the seat
of the present trouble. '
The Russian government promises
the American embasey to acquaint It
with particulars of the Indictment
against China, ;
The whole Incident comes ss a
great surprise to the diplomatic ser-
vice In Washington, for although It
was known that sharp Issues had
arisen between Russia and China
over connecting claims of jurisdiction
in Manchuria and elsewhere, commer
cial privileges In Mongolia, the situa
tion was not regarded as critical, and
It generally was-believed that In view
of the deplorable conditions existing
-in' China a a result of the frightful
famine and - the terrible ravages of
the plague, Russia 'would generous
ly defer pressing claims to the ex
treme at this tlma '
That war-will not result from the
latest . move of the Russian govern
ment Is the confident belief In diplo
matic circles here, for It is generally
understood that the Chinese are to
tally unprepared to meet such a foe
as Russia at this Juncture. 80 ft la
expected that China t will appeal to
the powers. Including -America,' for
fair play. What amount of support
She will receive cannot ' safely be
foretold. It is pointed oat here that
bur own government cannot act until
it has examined the contentions on
both sides, and before America could
intervene in -behalf of China It must
first mak sure that that country was
guiltless of such disregard ot her
treaty obligations as would warrant
the Russian menace.
8hould It be found that there Is
ground for such action, it is en-
avert war or the working of great
injustice upon China by suggesting a
reference of the issue between Russia
and China to the Hague tribunal.

DOES SECRETARY TO THE
PRESIDENT. EARN MORE
THAN SALM OF 55,000?
Many Representatives De
clare That Present Salary
Should Not Be Raised
SOME CAUSTIC TALK
WASHINGTON. . FU, ,16 The
qualifications that are necessary In
one who Is to fill the post of sec
retary to the president were discussed
in the house of representatives today
in connection with the Item In the
legislative, .executive, and judicial ap
propriation bill, fixing the salary of
that official. The ..nit. had thought !
1 0,600 no more than adequate com
pensation, but the house by a vote
of HO to 93, declared to concur, hold
ing that 16,000, the present salary, Is
ample. The Increase was urged as
a means of lending dignity to the
office. This aroused the Ire of sev
eral members who asked If the office
of secretary to the president, demand
ed any more tact ability or discre
tion than that of senate, represen
tative or of Supreme court judge, all
of which have salaries of lees than
116,000 attached.
Representative Fitxgerald said that
he was loath to believe that the re
publican party could not furnish the
president with a suitable secretary at
16, 004 a fear.- "f know you repub
licans are In desperate straits," he
old, "but I am not wining to ad
mit you hare sunk aa low aa alt
that"
Representative Patney, of Illinois,
a democrat, made a caustic speech
against the Increase, saying ho knew
of flo duties the secretary had to
perform that could not be performed
with equal tact by Speaker Can
non' negro messengers. He also as
serted that some pugilist like Jack
Johnson or John U Sullivan might
perform some of the duties of the
office.
