Germany's attitude toward China is to be

RUSSIANS In KOREA.
TOXIC Hears of Some Interesting Move.
ments and of the Squadron's
Activities,

Toxic, March lit is believed the Rus
sian Vladivostok squadron is now in the
vicinity of the mouth of Tumen river, en-
gagged in covering the movement of troops
from Possiet bay to the valley OF the
Tumen. Russian scouts are reliably re-
ported to have penetrated south as far as
Kiung Sung. Ihe earlier Russian move
ments into northeastern Korea were re-
garded as q diversion, but it now appears
that a considerable force participated.
1t is thought the Russians may occupy
and fortify some strong position IN the
Tumen river. Reports regarding Russian
movements in northwestern Korea ara
meager and unreliable. The forces north
of the Ialu are being increased, but it is
doubted If any considerable number OF
Russians have crossed the river.
The Japanese cabinet will meet tomor-
row to consider finally the program Of
financial legislation made necessary by
the war, which is to be submitted to the
special session of the diet. Construction
Of the railroad from Seoul to Ping Yang
will be commenced March 10, and the line
completed by September.

JAPs CHARGE CRUELTY
Refugees from Port Arthur Tell OF
Suffering and lndi9nities Suf-
feraJ There

Nasasaki, March S.-Refugess from
Port Arthur report that 10000 Russian
troops We're dispatched to Korea at
the beginning Of February and that
there were $4,000 troops In the fortress
in the middle of February.
Some of the Japanese refugees from
Port Arthur give a piteous description
of the suffering and indignities inf1ict-
ed on their countrynlen by the Rus
sian soldiery. 1t appears that on the
afternoon following the naval engage
ment the soldiers completely looted the
japanese quarter, returning to bar
racks With their booty. Houses were
stripped of valuables, and they robbed
people Of money and jeweiry. Mcn
even We're robbed OF their clothes.
The rough handl2&g of the men and
the i~ndignities toward the women
caused the Japanese to fly to the sea-,
shore, where they embarked on sam
pans and endeavored to reach Dalny.
The weather was bitterly cold, with a
rough sea. Several We're drowned, the,
remainder eventually escaping in a
British ship to Chefoo.

Concerning Onions.

Washington Star: The experience of
those who have tried the onion cure is
that it works wonders in restoring a
cold racsed system to its normal state.
An onion cure breakfast includes a
poached egg on toast, three tablespoon
fuls OF fried onions and a cup OF coffee.
Luncheon of sandwiches made Of brown
bread, buttered and filled with finely
chopped raw onions, seasoned with
salt and pepper, makes the second meal
on the schedule. For supper the onions
may be fried as for breakfast and eaten
with a chop and a baked potato.
The efficacy of onions is well known
to the singers Of italy and Spain, who
eat them every day to improve the
quality of their voices and keep them
smooth.
Onion plasters are prescribed to break
up hard colds. They are made of fried
onions placed between two pieces of old
muslin. The plaster lis kept quite hot
until the patient is snug1y In bed, when
It IL placed on the chest, to stay over.

Onion sirup is claimed BY some to be
~unequaled as cure for d bad cold In

RUSSIA is UNEASY.
Advance of the Japanese in Manchuria
Causes the Greatest of Con-

St. Petersburg, March S.-Much I'M.
nasiness has been caused in high cir,
cles here by making public the fact
that japanese troops are practically
p~verrunning Manchuria along the head
daters of the Yalu, and are now within
$50 miles Of Kirin and Mukden, and
have control of most of the country
On the upper Yalu and along the Turn
zen river.
1t is officially stated that $500 Jap
pnese landed February 10 near Song
thfn, half way between Yuen-san and
Nladivostok.
Immediately after landing the Japa-
rese started aross Korea, leaving a.
small force 70 go north along the coast
-pnd Connect with troops tina are be-
lieved to be at Possiet bay.
The main body, despite Russian as
Eurances, had good roads through the
country. 1t is now believed to be at
iSalnsu, where it is resting, preparatory
TO a descent upon the fortified town on
the M~anchurian side Of the Yalu, at
the junction Of the tram roads that lead
to Kirin and Mukden.
Along either road the Japanese can
send raiding parties or, on the contin-
uation of the Kirin road south along
the Korean side of the Yalu, they can
harass any Russian troops that are th
ere.
That raiders who have gone north, as
well as those who have landed at Pos
Siet bay, have not been idle, is shown
by the report that they have destroyed
a portion Of the Siberian railway.

a DOUBLE RESURRECTION.
Each Of the Generals Thought That
the Other Was Dead.

the Other Was Dead.
Pittsburg Dispatch: General Barlow of
the union army fell wounded and, it was
thought, dying, during the first day OF
the battle of Gettysburg, and within the
confederate lines. General Gordon, can
tering by, saw him and recognized him.
D~ismounting, he approached the PROSTATE
man n inquired what he could do for
him.
81 am dying aid Barlow. Just reach
into my pocket, draw out the letter you
find there, and read it to me. 1t is from
my wife"
Gordon read the letter.
Now, general" said Barlow, please
destroy that letter. I want you to notify
her-she is in the town over yonder-
what has happened to me-"
Il WILL replied Gordon.
TIe sent for Mrs. Barlow, giving her
safe conduct through the southern lines,
and then rode away, certain that Bar
lows death was a question of only a few
hours at most.
But Barlow did not die. His wife came
promptly. and had him removed to the
town of Gettysburg, where she nursed
him so faithfully that he recovered.
Many years passed, until one night both
generals were guests at a dime in
Washington. Some one brought them to-
gether and formally introduced them.
Time had altered the personal appearance
of both.
Are you any relation to the General
Barlow who was killed at Gettysburg? p
asked Gordon.
Yes; a very near relation" answered
Barlow with a laugh. IT am The, very
man who was killed. But I have been
informed that e man named Gordon lost
his life in battle later on. He saved my
life at Gettysburg. Are you any kin TO
that mani"
Il am he" was the reply.
Both heroes laughed as they gave each
other Il heartier handshake.

AS GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE.
some Of the Odd Reasons That Are
ASHAMED in Petltions.

Assigned in Petitions.
Galveston News: The Chicago mar
who recently applied for a divorce and
gave as one OF the grounds, at least,
the fact that he could not stand the
jokes of his wife's female friends d.
reefs ttentio again to some Of the
odd facts In connection with the Amer
lean divorce system" remarked a pop
ular young lawyer yesterday; and
really some Of the reasons assigned as
ground for divorce are ID IN the ex-
IRENE.
Persons who are engaged in fight
ing the divorce evil,' as they call it,
could spend the time no more profit
ably than by tnquiring into the meth
cd in which the legal grounds for d.
vorce have been interpreted by the
courts of the country. 1 was looking
an English writer, and was much
amused at some of the allegations set
forth in divorce petitions. Really, 1t
is a mixture of the comic and the
tragic. A husband accused his wife's
sister of theft and the injury to the
w1fe's feelings is made ground for di-
vorce. During our whole married
life says another. my husband has
never once offered to take me out rid
Ing. This has been a source Of great
mental suffering and injury The hus-
band whose wife complained in another
petition that he did not wash himself,
thereby infiicting on plaintiff great
mental anguish must have been a
disciple of the Chicago physician who
recently declared against the oath.
The complaint of another petition,
fled by the wife, was that the husband
quotes verses from the New Testament
about wives obeying their husbands.
He has even threatened to mash the
plaintiff and has drawn back his hand
to do it. Still another wife, according
to the author quoted, alleged in her
petition chat her husband did not come
home till 10 o'clock at night, and when
he does come home he keeps plaintiff
awake talking 1t Is also charged that
he keeps a saloon, which sorely grieves
mind of plaintiff These are only a
few Of the cases which might be men,
toned to show the liberal manner in
which the courts of the country deal
with the question of mental anguish
or mental cruelty"

SOLDIERS OF THE CAR.


The uniform of the Russian soldier
Is the simplest uniform in Europe. In
winter a sheepskin coat goes ON be-
meath the gray one. In summer, or
during campaigns in hot climates, the
Russians, like the Japanese, fight in
white dress. To critics who say that
this renders them needlessly conspicu-
Gus, they reply that it Is better than
khaki; for man dressed in earth col
or imagines himself invisible, and be-
haves accordingly. He gets shot;
whereas the man who knows he can
be seen keeps under cover and comes
off with whole skin. A writer in the
Boston Transcript describes the SOL
diers of the Gear as follows:
The Russian campaigner marches
somewhat heavily laden. He has his
kit-bag with clothing slung over one
shoulder, his haversack with two DAYS
rations of bread and salt slung over
the other, his greatcoat strapped under
one arm. Including his water bottle,
arms and ammunition, a section Of tent
aAAA NAO uAAAOA LII AS cldlluS Ill, he C4r"
ries something over sixty-slx pounds
The advantage which offsets the bur-
den Is that at a pinch the Russian
foot-soldier is practically independent
of baggage train. He can transport
his modest necessities upon his own
back.
The Russian cavalryman rides so
laden with cornsacks and blankets
and greatcoats and wallets and saddle
bags and things that he puts one in
mind OF the much incumbered White
Knight in Alice in Wonderland" Al
together his impedimenta weigh 119
pounds. Fortunately what would Cd
press another soldier is no burden to
the Russian He is sturdiness itself
Russian soldiers have been known to
march thirty miles without rest, and
then go directly into an engagement.
Severity is accounted the prime fac
tor Of Russian military discipline. But
