RUSSIA'S MOVEMENTS
 ARE CLOSELY WATCHED
BY ALBERT HALSTEAD.

Washington, March 27.-(special.)- .)-Rus- sia's evident purpose to dominate Korea is being watched closely by authorities In Washington, because of the apprehen- sion that such a result would seriously interfere with our growing commerce with that country The removal of McLeavy Brown, director of customs, is an impor- tant step In the Russian programme of controlling Korea. Great Britain has pro- tested against it, as she did some time ago when Russia had about persuaded Korea to remove him. The British pro- test then prevented his removal but Brit ish prestige is not so great as 1t was then. Japan Is perhaps more vitally in terested in preventing Russia from gain ing ascendency in Korea than Is either Great Britain or the United States and Is also opposed to Browns removal It is quite possible that Japan's opposition to Russias plans may prevent that na- tion from carrying them out just at pres ent. With Manchuria and Korea in her control, Russia would seriously jeopardize American and British trade In the East
 Russia is probably the more tenacious
 
 mestic troubles at home which, it is evil dent, despite the rigorous character of the censorship of press telegrams, are very serious. The students are always more or less dissatisfied and demonstra- tive, though more so just now than in some time, but with the workingmen ir- ritated and dissatisfied, the situation is <~~<<<<%<%<-<~<- well known to our leading men and should be so also by our public, as 1t is but short time since he made an address here, in company with Senator Pettus. His home Is spoken of as having been a most happy one. His affliction is indeed most heavy.
 The hearts of our people beat in sym pathy with the Rev. Dr. Dickinson and Mrs. Dickinson of this city, in receipt of the news that their son, Walter. Is also one of the victims of the storm. The young man Is reported seriously injured, and he may die, but fervent prayers are said that he may be spared to his lov- ing parents and to a life of usefulness, which had been auspiciously begun.

more critical The workingmen are re- senting the long hours they must labor and the poor pay. Should the working men throughout the empire catch the fe- yer of dissatisfaction and become rebel lious accordingly, the Russian govern ment would have its hands full. With such situation a foreign difficulty would distract attention and cause the present domestic difficulties to become less trou- blesome.
 That grave difficulties are to arise out of Russia's Korean plans is not yet ev:- dent, but Japan is apparently in no mood to acquiesce in Russias control of Man churia, much less Korea. With Russia entrenched in Korea, Japan would be se- riously menaced. Even though Japan's financial condition is not very good just now, she Is in far better shape for the contest with Russia, which many stu dents of foreign affairs anticipate, than she would be when the Trans-Siberian railroad Is completed. Then Russia could utilize her enormous military forces to great advantage. At present. not only is Japan's navy in home waters stronger than anything Russia can bring there, but Japan's army is much more formida- ble. Just at present it does not appear as if a war between Japan and Russia were likely, but the situation is such that it might easily result, but such war has been expected ever since Japans tri- umph over China some years since and Russa's activity in the East has in- creased.  storms But the tornado at Birmingham Is one of the most violent recorded in the Gulf States. It is also an exception to the marked general tendency of tor nadoes to develop in the afternoon or evening rather than in the earlier and cooler hours of the day. The intensity of a tornado Is doubtless increased when 1t occurs In the hottest hours of the day, because ordinarily the apprehension then in the atmosphere it greatest and the as- cending current in the vortex of the whirlwind is most stimulated But the terrible whirl is virtually independent of during it's career of violence as it rushes forward over the earth's surface.
 The outbreak of tornadoes in the Gulf States marks a distinct northward ad- vance of the season Temperature rose in a marked degree yesterday as far north as the Ohio Valley, the government reporting maximum temperature of "A degrees at Cincinnati and so degrees at Nashville As the general disturbance in the West Is curving northeastwardly the Atlantic States will feel today some of it's heating effects.
