L0ND0N'S BUDGET OF
FAR EASTERN NEWS.

London, March 23.-With the excep-
ton of the official dispatches no news
has reached London of the latest bonn
bardment of Port Arthur. The Japa-
nese legation last night had nothing to
communicate.
News is received from New Chwang
that south wind is dispensing the ice
points, which means the beginning of
active operations that at last will re-
veal the carefully concealed Japanese
plan of campaign.
According to the Standards ST.
Petersburg correspondent, the Russian
government has privately informed the
senators that since the outbreak of
the war exactly 100000 troops have
been forwarded to the Far East by the
Siberian Railway.
The Daily Telegraph's Seoul CORE
spondent, cabling under date of
March %, reports the rising of a mob
of Koreans against Japanese soldiers
at Samung, north of Gensan. The
Japanese dispersed the mob, killing
five men and wounding twenty.
The Daily Chronicle publishes I'M
confirmed rumors from Che Foo and
New Chwang of bombardments of Port
Arthur on March Is and March II, five
Europeans and many Chinese being
killed in the former and two guns be-
ing disma ntled and fifty soldiers killed
in the latter attack.

JAPAN WANTS NO
ADVISERS FOR KOREA.

London, March 23.-The Seoul corre-
spondent of the Times says that while
deprecating precipitancy in admins
trative reconstruction, Japan recon-
mends that Korea shall gradually elm
mate foreign advisers of the govern
ment and appoint no more for the pres
ent. Many of the foreigners, who are
mostly French, occupy advisory posts
with emoluments aggregating 100000,
and half of these posts are absolute
sinecures.
The Japanese are displaying great
vigor in the construction of a Tight rail-
way to Ping Yang and other strategic
projects, according to the correspond
emit, who says that as an evidence of
thoroughness of her plans Japan is
preparing for the possibility of mill
tary reverses in Manchuria, but that
whatever happens she intends to hold
fast to Korea. Should she fail to ex-
pei the Russians from Chinese terri
tory and be compelled to defend the
Korean frontier, the existence of rail
way in the rear running to port with
in ferrying distance of Japan Will be
of inestimable value to Japan.

SHOWS THE JAPANESE
ARE LOSING NO TIME.

st. Petersburg, March 22.-Vice Ad-
miral Togos activity at Port Arthur
is being emulated by the commander
of the japanese forces in Korea. The
report of Gen. Mistchenkow shows that
the Japanese have taken the precau-
ton to erect earthworks near Anju,
which are being held by a Japanese
division until the remainder of the
first army corps comes up from Ping
Yang, about forty miles away
The advance of the japanese shows
that they are losing no time and that
they are more rapid than the Rus
slams expected. Nevertheless the for
tifications of Anju shows the japanese
operations are accompanied by all prop
er military precautions.
So far as the Russians are concerned
they have no intention of attacking
Aniu, but the province of the 5000 or
5000 cavalrymen under Gen. Mistchen-
kow will be to harass and retard the
Japanese in every way possible.

pervision of the receivers, go through
the books and accounts.
Looked After Insurance.
Messrs. Miller and Taft together
made a short statement to the effect
that they had been for such a short
time in charge, and their knowledge
of the firms affairs was so meagre,
chat they could say nothing that
would be of interest Mr.. Miller, 1t
was reported to-day, would go to New
Orleans at once and take charge of
the New Orleans offices of the irm
but he said he had not decided definite
ly. Mr. Taft said that the receivers
were ignorant as to the methods of
bookkeeping in the New Orleans offices
and whether or not the situation would
require an ancilliary receiver in LOUISE
ana. He said about all we have
done so far is to settle hard middle
in regard to the insurance on a large
amount Of cotton in storehouses here
On account of the transfer of owner
ship to us, the instance on some of the
cotton lapsed.
con some of the other coteon the
policies had lapsed without this, it
being the custom to get insurance from
time to time. For about an hour there
was large amount of cotton without
insurance."
Mr.. Taft was asked If the spot" cot
ton in warehouses amounted to about
10000 bales. THAT Is very likely the
figure" he said, but / don't know to
a certainty"
The feeling of the street over the
days happenings was that Sully's
hopes of settling with his creditors and
resuming had practically been de-
stroyed, and that the possibilities in
the bankruptcy proceedings were such
as to make it probable that sensations
would develop later
Section II of the United States bank
ruptcy law states that creditors or
others interested may by orders require
any designated person, including the
bankrupt, to appear and answer ques-
tons that lead to the determination
of the 'bankrupt's assets or to possible
assets not in his possession but which
may be recovered by proceedings. Ii
was believed that the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings were brought with the idea.
Of recovering something for the cred
itors from men who were said to have
been in q pool with Sully.

FOUND THE JAPANESE
WERE IN ENTRENC HMENTS.

st. Petersburg, March 22.-The fol-
lowing dispatch has been received from
Vicero yAlexteff, dated Mukden, March
%:
Gen. Mistchenkow reports that on
March II our scouts approached ANU
and observed on the left bank of the
Cheng-Chang river, opposite entrench-
ments made by the enemy Up to that
date the enemy had not appeared at
yong Pion (fiftaen miles northeast of
AhJu) 1t is supposed that there is
one Japanese division at Anju, and that
the remainder of the first army corps
is at Ping Yang.
In consequence of the report that
Two squadrons of the enemy had ar
rived at PAX Chon (fifteen miles north
west of Anju), 200 of our cavalry were
dispatched for the purpose of prevent
ing the enemy from crossing the PAX
Chon river. Our cavalry overlook the
Japanese squadrons on the left bank
OF the river. but they withdrew to-
wards Anju on the arrival of our de-
tachment without fighting. The Jap
anese squadrons number about 100
each.
ION the night of March 10 two dis
patch riders encountered a Japanese
patrol. between Kazan (about fifty
miles north by west of Ping Yang). and
Chenchi (about twelve miles north of
kazan). The patrol opened fire, but
our dispatch riders escaped unhurt.
According to a report 5000 of the
enemy's cavalry occupied Yong Pion
March 10. and material for pontoon
prldges has been placed in readiness
north and south of Aniu."

into the afternoon. There were pres
ent at this meeting, President Hill,
George F. Baker, William p. Clough,
Edward H. Hartman, d. Willis James,
Daniel L. Lamont, John S. Kennedy,
George w. Perkins, N. Terhune and
one or more other directors.
Heavy Dealings in U. p.
Dealings in the Union Pacific COM
mon on the stock exchange aggre-
gated over 40 per cent of the total out
standing issue. 1t was declared in
various quarters that the Hill-Morgan
party had for some reason deemed
it necessary to buy heavily into this
stock.
The belief in this rumor was hight
ened by the fact that brokers who
often represent Morgan interest on
the exchange weres heavy buyers of
Union Pacific all the way up. Large
amount of Southern Pacific shares
also changed hands and sales of Great
Northern preferred, of which the
floating supply is very small, amount
ed to 1000 shares.
After the close of the market a long
conference was held at the office of
J. P. Morgan e Co. Those who at
tended included Messers. Morgan, Har-
rinan, Hill, Lamont, Perkins, J. P.
Morgan, Jr., Francis Lynd Stetson, of
Judge Bum of Minnesota, Mr.. Hills
personal legal adviser.
Messrs. Hill and Hartman left the
Morgan banking house arm in arm and
apparently in the best of spirits.
Both declined to make any statement
beyond saying that a perfect under
standing had been reached all around.
Mr.. Hill denied that there had been
any differences respecting the dis
solution plan.
Mr. Morgan and his partners had no
comment to make, but Mr.. Morgan
seemed pleased with the days events.
At the banking house of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co, the chief financial back
ers of the Hartman system of rail-
roads, no statement of any sort was
forthcoming. A report that the firm
had, as the Hartman representa-
tives, received substantial cash bonus
for agreeing to the distribution plan,
could not be verified. The street heard
that Hill-Morgan interest would be
given representation in the Uuion
Pacific road, in return for which
Unon Pacific interests would be asked
have place in the Northern Pacific
directory.
Sales of Union Pacific common ag-
gregated over 100000 shares at a net
advance of 81 points. Southern Pa
cific was traded in to the extent of
over 161, 900 shares, gaining net 2%
points. The advance in the 1000 shares
of Great Northern preferred was 7k
points. All the Pacifics in the general
market went higher.
On the curb, Northern Securities
made net gain of 6 points on sales
of about $4,000 shares. The stock
touched 99B, and closed at SO.

EVENTS IN THE FAB EAST.

Fifth attack of the Japanese fleet
upon Port Arthur has been made.
Reports of the action thus far re-
ceived are from Russian sources,
which fail to show the conclusion
satisfactorily.
An unconfirmed rumor from To-
kio has it that the Japanese have
at last succeeded in effectually
blocking the entrance to Port Ar
thur.
Japanese land forces are advanc-
ing more rapidly than the Rus
slams had expected. They have
erected earthworks near Anju, but
it is said that there is no danger
of a Russian attack upon them.
For the present the Russians are
to follow waiting tactics.
1t is said that since the opening
of hostilities the Russian War De-
partment has dispatched 100000
troops to the scene of war.

NO NEGROES THERE.
They Had to Split on from the Texas
Republican Convention.

Dallas, Tex, March 22.-In the Texas
State Republican Convention held here
this afternoon, the feature noticeable
was the absence of negroes, who here
tofore, have taken much more prom
inent part in the convention than was
the case to-day.
In the morning a meeting of the
State Executive Committee was held.
While the regular convention was
being held. there was held a session
composed chiefly of negroes, with a
few whites. and a bolt from the reg
ular convention was effected, two white
and two negro delegates being chosen
to represent the state at large in the
national convention at Chicago
In the convention proper the follow
ing delegates at large for the state
to the national convention were elected:
Cecil A. Lyon of Sherman, chairman
of the State Executive Committed r
b. Hawley of Galveston, national COM
mitteeman; @. M. Ferguson of San
Antonio, and M. NJ. Rodgers of La
Garage. The alternates were: David
ADner Of Seguln, II. j. Goree of At
lanta, Thomas Hall of Palestine, and
Judge r. f. Hannay Hampstead.
The convention proper was often
marked by scenes that threatened fur
Their trouble. but harmony was even
tually secured.
The result OF the election OF dele
gates is regarded as a decisive victory
for Chairman Lyon, who also received
the Endorsement for national commit
teeman from the state. The resOlu-
tions commend the national adminis-
trati0n and instruct the dolegafpa m
vote for Roosevelt's denomination.

porting Senator Fairbanks OF Indiana
for the vice presidency was defeated.
