laps AND RUSSIANS
RUSH TO YALU RIVER

London, Feb. 22.-The cables are
still absolutely silent with regard TO
the progress OF the war. but there are
vague rumors OF land fighting. AS an
instance. the Paris edition of the New
York Heralds correspondent at St.
Petersburg talks Of a Russian repulse
on the Yalu river with loss OF 2.500
lives. These rumors are unconhrmed
and from a reliable quarter. The
Morning Fost's Chefoo correspondent
says he learns tens Of thousands OF
Japanese are advancing by forced
marches from various parts of Korea
on the Yalu and that severe fighting
is expected shortly. These are the only
references TO actual operations that
have reached London.
The announcement that General Ko-
DANA has been replaced in the Japan

No. Si2 West Seventh street, noted

agony Her face is scalded and she
may never see again.
Saturday morning while opening a

took her to her room. Since that time

About five years ago Mrs. King, who
is an English woman. was awarded a

for the Presidential
Nomination
.HANNA'S DEATH REMOVED RIVAL

Washington. Feb. 2a.--The resigna-
tion OF Perry s. Heath as secretary OF
the national Republican committee.
while unimportant in itself, indicates
a realization upon the part OF the anti
Roosevelt men that. since the death
of Senator Hanna. none but ardent
friends and supporters OF the President
are to have weight in the party coun-
ellis.
With Hsnna's death the President
becomes the dominating influence in
the entire Republican organization.
and, while compromises viii be effect
ed with the so-called conservatives.
they will be compromises with lean
Ing toward the Presidents way Of
thinking.
Heath's resignation from the national
committee so soon after Senator Han
mas death not only shows that he real
ICES this. but also removes any doubt
that might have been entertained re-
garding Hanna's activity in keeping

tion to the President and the Presl-
dents friends.

Instead OF threatening 10 serve as a

out the strength, personally. OF Hanna.
without his force and ability. and
without his leadership, the opposition
TO the Presidents views is rapidly
diminishing and dlsintegratinE.
Heath's resignation was virtually a

that not another voice is likely 20 be

Robbery Suspected.


Tho fact that the young woman's purse
was empty when examined. leads TO the
belief that she was assaulted and robbed.
When she fell in the hallway Of her home
she had her pocketbook in one hand and
a street car transfer in the other When
questioned this morning Miss Hammond
said that she had money In her purse
when she loft the Biggs home. How
much she did not know.
There are many dark places in the vicIn-
ity Of Miss Hammond's home where high
way robbery could easily be committed
without detection. Last night being dark.
and tho weather disagreeabie. was an
ideal time IN which to commit such a
crime. The fact that the unfortunate wo-
man had a transfer in her hand and that
no railway junction is near her home.
strengthens the robbery theory. IT Is pos
si0le that she was awaiting a car. AMI
becoming tired OF standing In the rain. de-
cided TO walk home. The assault prob
ably occurred while she was hurryine
along anxious to see her sister.
Robert Shorts resides at No. Sixth
avenue and the Hammond girls live
there. The injured woman has made her
home with Mrs. Bggs for sometime and
bears good reputation. The matter was
reported 10 the police last night and they
are working on tho case.
Another theory advanced Is that che
