UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
DECIDES SENATOR BURTON
MUST STAND TRIAL.
HEARING OF CASE SET FOR MARCH n
DEFENDANT is CHARGED WIFE
ACCEPTING MONEY FOR USE
OF HIS INFLUENCE.

St. Louis Feb 17.--Judge Adams. in
the United States district court, has
overrued the demurrer of United
States Senator Joseph r. Burton of
Kansas 10 the indictment charging
him with accepting money for using
his influence in preventing the issu-
ance Of fraud order against the Riai-
to Grain ana Securities company.
The trial of Senator Burton was set
for March % panel of sixty jurors
has been ordered for that date. Both
Senator Burton and Major Dennis,
president of the Rialto Grain and Sc
curtes company, were In court.
The indictment grew out of the
troubles of the Riaito Grain and Sc
curities company when that concern
had difficulty with the United States
postoffice department and further use
OF the mails was denied ii. II is
charged that for $500 per month Sen
ator Burton was TO use his influence
to have the embargo removed.
In filing the demurrer to the indict-
ment the defendant eontended that the
postmaster did not have the authority
to forbid the Rialto company the use
of the mails or TO issue a fraud order.
Also that there was no substantial
charge of fraud at the time. Both of
these questions were dismissed by
Judge Adams with the remark that he
was not impressed with them. The
question as to whether the United
States was interested in the case
called for a more extended opinion,
but Judge Adams held that it was in
terested He then ordered the case
to be tried March %

Russian Officials at Vladivostock Can
not Resist Attack.
Toxic. Feb. l7.-The German steam
er Batavia has just reached Moji with
1900 Japanese refugees on board, in
Guiding the commercial agent OF Japan
at Vladivostock. The latter reports
that ten Russian torpedo boats are
frozen up at that port unable to move.
The commander of the garrison and
the local authorities at Vladivostock
called on the departing agent and COM
planned that the Japanese had opened
hostilities without having declared
war
When news OF the opening OF the
war reached Vladivostock the squad
ron there was hastily repainted and
cleared for action, leaving port on the
afternoon of Feb. 8. He believed that
It returned to Vladivostock after sink
ing the Lakonoura Maru.
There are no torpedoes nor mines
sunk at Vladivostock and the place is
totally unprepared to resist attack.
Massing of troops on the north bank
OF the Yalu continues, the Russians
evidently believing that the Japanese
intend to make their main attack
there with the object in view of fore
ing their way through the Russian
lines and destroying the railway, there
by cutting OF all communication with
Port Arthur and Vladiyostock. The
Japanese are again agitating the con-
struction of the Seoul-Wiju railway
and great quantities OF material used
on the Fusan-Seoul railway are avail
able. In the event OF prolonged war
a railway between these points would
be of immense advantage.

at Port Arthur.

Investigation shows that the city
and fortress were wholly undamaged
by the Japanese attack. The people,
naturally, are anxious and business is
at a complete standstill, but the ut
most tranquility prevails.
After the religious services Sunday
theraNas a military review before the
vicerOy. Admiral Alexien. who de-
nounced the action Of the Japanese as
bar5arous and expressed confidence
that the Russian soldiers would fully
avenge themselves.
Reports from the interior indicate
that the Cossacks are mobilizing with
great enthusiasm. In the Amour dis
trict they are riding in squads from
village to village. waving Russian
flags and demanding an early chance
to meet the enemy.
