RAILWAY IN DANGER.
Belief the Japs Wait Only for Signal
to Attack IL.

London March 81. - The military
expert of the London Times declares:
The most surprising thing about the
events in the far east during the last
few weeks is the apparent immunity
from attack of the Russian railway
lines. 1t had been promised by the Jap
anese before the war began, he declares,
that the railways would be impeded,
and even in part would be demolished.
The japanese had made thorough
study of the country before the opening
of the war and knew more about the
country outside of the Immediate vi
cinityg of the garrisons than even the
Russians themselves.
There has been ample time to dis
patch bold rajding parties, who would
be landed from small warships, or even
merchant ships, at points along the
coasts, and the assumption is that the
Japanese are wanting in resource and
audaclty, or that preparations have
been actually made, and given sig
nal is awaited before the blow is
struck.
Nothing that has yet occurred justi-
tles the belief that the Japanese are
wanting in intelligence aud resource,
therefore we must fall back on the as
sumption that the Japanese believe
that the hour to strike has not yet ar
rived.
In what position, therefore, will
the Russians stand if they awake some
fine morning and find the railway sew
cred, not at one place, but along the
entire line, and a hostile army threaten
ing Vladivostok? If the Russian army
can exist in the Liao valley, with its
line OF communication severed, it Will
surprise many people, and it is general
ly conceded that if this happens it will
have to retrace its steps to Hardin.
The Russian army is in fact as
much tied up to its railway line as was
the British army in the Transvaal, and
1t has to depend on single line of
track, while the British had three, and
the Japanese are not whit less enter
prlslng than the Beers -

way to prevent the spread Of the
disease--and that 10 by vaccination.
1t is dificult to get tho con- ent of
I'eople to DO vacinated until tho
disease is almost upon them.
Within the last fortnight there
seems to Lave been a great spred

counties IN the eastern part Of the
State whore the solored popula>
tion is dense. Gov. Hayward has
been in receipt Of numerous let
ters and kilograms sc4ual.ting
him with tho condition of affairs
in respective localities, and he has
referred the communications to
the secretary of the State board
Of health, DR.. James Evans of
Florence.
The Legislature has made an sp-
preparation and tho State board
of health is authorised to use
that fund In stamping out tho
smallpox, but communities can
help a great deal by having vaci-
nation, without falling back on
the State to fui nish the vaccine
