NEW cHwANe IN READINESS.

New Chwang, April 6.-General Ku- ropatkin arrived here today and re- viewed about 4,OGO troops on the parade ground at the fort. On account of the fact that the river has been mined and because it is expected that the forts will indulge in practice firing, merchant ships are not using the lower reaches of the river. General Kuro- patkin, in command here, is prepared for Japanese attack and it is evident that the authorities expect an en- slaught.
 The command of General Kuropat- kin embraces the scout patriots on the west Liao river district to the south including the Raj Chou district to the ncrth. including the railroad and Hai Chang. A report was received through the Russian secret service that the Japanese intended to attack New Chwang yesterday but the day passed without evidence of such an intention.

WORKS BOTH WAYS
Law Relating to Parallel
 Lines of Roads
It Is Now Being Employed to Prevent Hartman From Securing Control of the Northern Pacific.

St. Paul, April 6.-The Dispatch to- day says: Laws of various western states, prohibiting parallel lines from owning cr controlling each other and which were so vigorously attacked by the Securities company when the mer- ger was being formed, have suddenly been found very advantageous to the merger interests, inasmuch as they may be employed to prevent the Har- riman people from getting control of the Narthern Pacific. Laws which once threatened to break up combina- tions are employed to prevent their breaking up.
 This somewhat paradoxicaI situation come to light today when it was learn ed that Attorney General Donovan of Montana, who had been hastily sum- moned to St. Paul by the Great North ern interests, was importuned to use the strength of the Montana laws to prevent the Hartman interests, through the Oregon Short Line, from getting control of the Northern Pacific
 Attorney General Donovan was clcseted with the Great Northern off, cials for some time. It is supposed that as soon as he returns to Montana
 
 be commenced if necessary, bringing into play Montana laws prohibiting such consultations. There are one or two other western states which have similar laws and the legal departments of these states will be interrogated as to their willingness to act. That Mon tana has been asked to take the mat ter up. is confirmed in a seemingly off, cial statement by Great Northern in terests as follows:
 "The question of the legality of the purpose outlined in the petition will be fought in the preliminary battle, and is adm ttedly the ground on which the company will oppose the petition. The right of the Oregon Short Line to acquire a majority interest in the Northern Pacific will be questioned, since under the laws of Montana and other states, to which the western line is subject, there is grave doubt that it could legally hold Northern Pacific if it SO desired. These laws, the com pany will contend, prevent the Oregon Short line from either owning or vot- ing the stock which it demands"

Waterbury, Conn.,, April 6.-Thc prattle of a year old child, the voice of whom had been a loving mem 'ory for the lonely year she had been separated frcm it, awakened a new sense Of reason in Josephine Traunski.

A FIRE IN THE SUBWAY
A Half Hour of Serious Subterranean
 COnfiasFation in New York.

New York. April 6.-F'or half an hour traffic on lower Broadway. near St Pauls chapel, was blocked today by a fire in the new subway, volumes of smoke that poured through the few openings to the streets driving pedes- trians away and making difficult work for the fremen. who were called out in a large force because of the location Of the fire. Telephone and telegraph ser vices were badly crippled as a result.
 The fire started by the the fiaring up of a small banjo" lamp used by one of the laborers in the underground work The burlap that covered some of the pipes along the sides of the subway caught fire and the blaze spread to the temporary timbering of the tunnel. This was damp and a dense smoke resulted, soon filling all the nearby workings of the subway and pouring out into the streets above. The fire broke out near the corner of Fulton street and Broadway, which besides St. Paurs chapel is the prin- cipal entrance to this section of the subway, the workmen entering the tunnel at that point, so that the smoke shut, off their usual means of egress, and for a time fifty or more worknen were Denned in and in q desperate con- dition.
 However, one block further down the street, at the corner of Dey street, it had been found necessary to open the street and build Q massive wooden platform in place of the usual paving. After a few minutes work an opening was made and the laborers were help ed out to safety.
 Through the regular opening into the subway beside St. PauTs chapel and through the openings made from the cellars of the buildings adjoining the subway, a fcod of water was poured down on the smouldering fire, and within half an hour the blaze was ex tinguished and traffic on the streets was soon afterwards resumed.
 Telegraph and telephone cables under the street were exposed to the fierce heat of the fire, and the insulation was quickly burning. More than 6,000 tele- phone wires in the Cortland telephone exchange were put out of business and both the telegraph companies suffered, communication between the down town and up town offices being entire ly cut off and the out of town service hadly crippled.
