nl-Feeling Between the Bear and Uncle
Sam Is the Topic.

Sam Is the Topic.
Washington, March Am important
conference lasting more than an hour
has occurred between Secretary Hay
and Count Cassini, the Russian am
bassador. The growing ill-feeling in
Russia against United Statesans and
the continued attacks Of certain parts
Of the United States press against Rus
STA was the main subject discussed.
Count Cassini also informally inquired
about the report that the Commercial
Cable company had applied for landing
privileges at Guam for a cable from
that island to Japan. He was as
sured by HaY that this government at
present was considering no such appli-
cation.
The ambassador did not give any in
timation as to what the attitude of
his government would be in this mat
ter. The Associated Press dispatches
from st. Petersburg. however, have
stated that the Russian government
would view askance the granting Of
such privileges by this government dur
ing the present war. 1t is assumed
that this government has declined for
the present formally to consider such
an application.
To a correspondent of the Associated
Press Count Cassini said that the Rus
sian people long since had learned to
regard the people of this country as
their fast friends, and that it had been
a bitter disappointment to them to find
United States misrepresentation the
Russian government, the Russian peo-
pie and Russian policies. He said the
first feeling of his people had been one
Of painful surprise, but that this is
now crystallizing into a deplorable
feeling of unfriendliness.

81. Petersburg Reports Russian Victories
In Skirmishes with the Japs.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 29.-The Off
cial announcement by Major Gener-
al Plug, chief of staff to Viceroy Alex
Jeff, that Russian cavalry had crossed
the Yalu river is expected to be fol-
lowed shortly by news of rather heavy
lane fighting, as according to seem
ingly trustworthy reports General
Lenevitch has sent a whole army corps
of infantry to support the Cossacks,
who have penetrated to a point below
Anju, and who are reported to have
beaten the japanese in several skir-
mishes.
Nevertheless, if this movement in
force is progressing it must not be as.
suIned that the Russians have taken
the offensive, but rather that they are
Korea in order to check the advance
of the formidable army of Japanese
landing on both shores of Korea while
the concentration of Russian troops
behind the Yalu is being completed.
This concentration is making better
progress than is generally believed
abroad.
The movement of troops eastward
owe the t~rans-Siberian railroad will be
greatly accelerated henceforth, as tele-
graphic reports say that the fee rail-
roa owe Lake Baikal was completed
yesterday. Up to this time the tracks
have been used as far as laid, the
soldiers marching from the terminus
of the line to the other shore.
Grave rumOrs in circulation here
concerning the sufferings of the troops
crossing Lake Baikal were communi-
Gated to the officer in charge, who tele-
graphed that there were no cases of
severe frost-bite occasioning either
death or a~mputation. He says that
the journey of twenty-five miles, which
takes twelve hours, is broken at a re
lay station i'm the center of the lake,
where a hot dinntr is served, and that
particular care is taken of the weaker
men during transit.

Seemed a Choice of Deaths.
About 3:45 O'clock Saturdaymorning,
while off the mouth of the Columbia
river, the Queen caught fire in her aft
er saloon in some unexplained way.
With indescribable swiftness the fire
gained Roadway. and threatened soon
to envelope the whole ship. To add
to the horror the heavy seas running
meant death to any SEM away in the
hfe-boats. The flames became more
and more threatening until-when it
seemed. a choice of deaths-Captain
Cousins ordered thelife-boats launched.
They were manned by the crew and
ordered to remain close to the ship.
Flames Are Quenched at Last.
In these the women and children
were placed. Hardly, however, had
the boats been cast loose than, unable
to weather the fierce waves, two of
them were capsized. The passengers
and those of the crew who remained
on board continued their fight against
the flames with increasing success, UNI
til at TAO a. m. the fire was brought
under control. When it was thought
the danger from fire was past Captain
Cousins recalled the life-boats and the
occupants were taken aboard
More Trouble Ahead.
The Queenwas headed for the mouth
Of the Columbia river, and about
a. m. the steamer Santa Monica wal

asked to stand by until temporary re.
pairs could be made. When everything
had been made safe the Queen con
tinued on to the mouth of the Colum.

Bloomington, Ind, March 2. = The
investi cation of James Mcdonald, for
the murder of Miss Schafer, at Bed
ford, began before the Lawrence coun-
ty grand jury In that city today. 1t is
expected that an indictment will be
returned ON Saturday. The state will
press for an immediate trial, and is
confident that Mcdonald a be con-
victed and sentenced before the pres
ent term Of court expires. b state
ment was made by Prosecutor Miller,
certain that Mcdonald is the guilty
man. beyond all doubt. We have the
testimony to convict him, and we want
a speedy trial."
Morally Certain Of His Guilt.
Detective Reed has obtained a state
ment from Mcdonald in which the lat
ter details his whereabouts on the
evening Of the murder. Detective Reed
did not seek a confession, but simply
to get McDonald's own story accurate
ly. He at ono went to Iedford to
look up the man whom Mcdonald ac-
cused of the crime, and also the differ
ent persons named in the alibi. These
men failed to account for Mcdonald
between the hours of 6 and Z o'clock.
The man whom Mcdonald accused Of
being guilty is a citizen above sus-
picion, who proved an alibi beyond all
dispute. The inference is that the story
told by Mcdonald is Ii that exactly
fits himself.

st. Petersburg, via Emden, Prussia,
March 2. = News has been received
here that the Japanese attacked Port
Arthur yesterday and were repulsed
with heavy losses.
Toxic, March 1.-THE general staff
and d regiment of the guards left ia
pan yesterday for a port on the west
coast of Korea, probably Chemulpo.
London, March 2.-The dispatches
from the Far East are hard to make
out. One from Chefoo, dated yester-
day, says that the japanese renewed
the attack on Port Arthur on the morn
ing Of Feb. 20. The fleet kept beyond
the range of all but the most powerful
land batteries. The engagement last
ed n hour, the japanese then retir-
ing. Their loss is unknown. The Rus
sian steamer Askold had one gun dis
mounted and two men killed.
Contradictions in the News.
Another cable from Chefoo says that
the Russians have found the wreck
Of q japanese torpedo boat destroyer.
This was discovered Feb. %. Dis
patches from Japanesesources say that
the Japs have not lost a single vessel
Of any kind. Then st. Petersburg ad-
vices of yesterday say the government
there has no news confirming the re-
port that on Monday the Japs bonn
barded Port Arthur, sinking a Russian
torpedo boat and doing great damage
TO three Russian warships. In con
trast to this lack of news the dispatch
from st. Petersburg, via Emden, tell
ing of a Japanese repulse yesterday is
puzzltng.
Means the Opening of the Land VA
The report hat the Japanese gen.
eral staff has left japan for Korea
is accepted at Paris as showing hat
all the troops necessary for the for
ward movement have been landed in
Korea, and it is expected hat the
movement OF troops forward will begin
the last of this week. With respect
to the Russian force which will con
test the way it is said that there will
be some surprise manifested at the
| strength the Russians are able to COM
mand.
Silence May Mean a Battle.
No confirmation Of the report that
the Japanese had bombarded Port Ar
thur Feb. 20 has been received from
any point. The wires from the cen
of wal have been practically silent ro-
the past t~wenty-four hours, and in some
quarters this silence is supposed to in
dicate that Japan'S great attack ON
Port Arthur is actually in progress,
and that consequently the use of the
wires has been discontinued.
