UNSAFE TO r. DJtE pRlSoEEa
stand Is Taken under Rcpresenta- tfons Made by General Bell, Who Declares Thcre Is Plan of
 Rescue by Union Men.

DENVER, April 19.A-After confer ring with Attorney General N. c, Mil- Ter, Attorney John L. Waldron and General sherman Bell Governor Pea body has, decided that he will not pro- duce Charles H. Mover, president of the Western Federation of Miners, be- fore the supreme court on Thursday, as commanded by writ of habeas corpus issued last Friday
 Mir. Waldron. will appear before the supreme tribunal and ask that the court issue n modified order He will set up in his return that under the present circumstances it is unsafe to produce the petitioner and will ask the court to proceed with the case the same as if the petitioner were in court.
 This stand was taken because of rep resentations made by General Bell. He told the governor and attorneys that he was satisfied that a plan had been formed by union men whereby Mr. Mover would be rescued from the GUS tody of the few soldiers who would be sent in charge of him or harm might come to him through the actions of men in San Miguel county opposed to the Western Federation of Miners and ko union men in general.
 At a conference held here representa- lions that will be put in the reply to be made to the supreme courts writ by the state officers were decided on. The answer will maintain that the power of the governor is supreme in such cases. It will be maintained that he has the authority to arrest and impris- on at will for the good of the state, and he may inearcerate any person for kn indefinite period. It will be said it Is necessary to keep MT, Mover in GUS tody for some time yet, as it will be Impossible to bring about peace in San Miguel county unless he is continued Nm confinement

ARMY ON TIE MOVE
Russian Detachment at Moer-
 shan--No Enemy Found.
CARS TROOPS HOLD YALU ISLANDS.
Attempt of Japanese to Disembark Troops Korean Bny Defeat ed by Heavy Fire From
 Lan6 Batteries.

LONDON, April 19.-A St Peters burg dispatch says that detachment of Russian troops which left southern west bank of the Yalu river, 175 miles north of Pingyang, without having encountered any of the enemy The detachment has occupied mountain pass between Manchuria and Korea, which it is fortifying with mountain batteries.
 An official telegram states that there is no change in the situation on the Yalu river at Wiju. The Russian out posts are now on islands of the river 100 yards from the Japanese outposts, which are preparing to retire.
 Major General Pfiug, chief of the military staff at Port Arthur, tele- graphs that all statements regarding a siege and fall of Port Arthur are un. founded
 An attempted landing by Japanese troops on the shores of Korea bay be. tween Port Arthur and the Yalu river has been frustrated by the Russians. A Japanese torpedo boat fiotilla scout ed the shores of the bay, but was re- ceived with such a heavy fire from land batteries at Takushan, Ching taitse, Tchanhe and Bedzino that it retired
 Vice Admiral Togo's flagship then re- called nine transports which were on the way to'land troops. A squadron of. ten warships protecting the transports withdrew with them. The Russians have 10000 men concentrated at Taku- shan.
 A force landing between Takushan and Chingtaitse would have been in a position to isolate the defenders of Port Arthur and cut their line of com munication. Takushan is in Manchu- ria, about fifty miles to the westward of the estuary of the Yalu river, and Chingtaitse is about twenty-five miles west of Takushan, or about 15O miles from Port Arthur.
 Vice Admiral Togo's immense supe- riority enables him to hold the Russian squadron in Port Arthur, and Japanese transports, therefore, can safely pass through the strait of Pechili and at tempt to land at the head of the gulf Ol 141dOLuAk lIC guns Ol LAG warships, as did General Shafter's ar- my at Daiquiri Cuba. If this should succeed the Japanese will be in an ex- cellent position to execute a flank movement on Liaoyang or cut off Port Arthur
 General Kuropatkin recently inspect ed Newchwang. He is familiar with the strategic position there and dis posed strong force to contest Japa- nese move at that point, and if such move is made it is believed he will be able to check it.
 The foreign office has received a communication from the Russian gov ernment relative to the use of wireless telegraphy by war correspondents It is identical with the note received by the government at Washington and says Russia does not contemplate any Immediate action in the matter.

VERTICAL OR SLANT WRITING

forward slant. Good penmanship in any system is largely a matter of con stant practice. We find that the best results are obtained up to the fifth grade; from that point on as written work rapidly increases the penman- ship falls off and by the time the pu- pills have reached the High school their individuality in writing has de- veloped to such an extent that they have q system of their own which does not conform to any standard. If we should examine the writing of l0O of Waterbury's best business men, all of whom were brought up on the slant of fifty-two degrees, we would find it very difficult to determine un- der what, if any. system they had re ceived instruction.
 l question very much if 1t is the function of the public schools to try to make skillful penmen of the pupils. Of the 1,2OO pupils who enter our schools each year, probably not one per cent of them will ever depend upon their penmanship exclusively to earn their livelihood. Our policy should be the greatest good to the greatest number. This is not a ques- tfon that can be decided offhand. For several months 1 have been making Investigations along this line and shall continue to do so. It should be kept in mind that no system will of itself produce good penmen; it must be properly taught, and doubt if any properly taught system will make good penmen of all children. As to whether there has been any improve ment in the pupils penmanship, I have prepared an exhibit of the best work sent to the words fair and the same work copied by pupils grade to grade in our schools at present re spectfully ask the board to compare the two forms as to neatness and leg ibility.
 If 1t Is the desire of the board to secure still better results in penman- ship, I should recommend that an in structor of Writing be employed, who should give special instruction to teachers and pupils in the upper grammar grades and in the conner cial department of the High school

 NEW YORK, April 19--Tom Me Guire, veteran theatrical man and pol itician, told yesterday with a pencil how it feels to be tongueless. Nc Guire's tongue was cut out about three weeks ago to save him from dying of cancer caused by excessive smoking. How is your appetizer was asked. Great. eat everything can. The doctors let me have chicken broth with egg, two minute boiled eggs, calves foot jelly, soft toast, milk punches, eggnogs, cereals, junket or rennet, cof- fee. tea and cup custard I get away with five eggnogs and i've milk punches every day. Do you have any craving for cigars or tobacco in any form?' "No,' said the pencil. There's nothing left to crave with. The taste is all in the tongue, you know, and my whole tongue is gone except a piece about this size" And he held up the pencil, indicating DOT ton of it almost infinitesimal, much less than small fraction of an inch.
