WAR CONSIDERED
As HARDLY BEGUN
Land Fighting Not Expected
Before the End of
April.
RUSSIA Is TAKING NO CHANCES
Plans to Roll Back Japanese BY Force
of Numbers-Acknowledge Japan's
Superiority On the Sea, Rut Are
Confident of Issue On Land.

st. Petersburg, March 7.-Although
almost four weeks have elapsed since
the Japanese first attacked Port
Arthur, here the war is considered
hardly to have begun.
Heavy fighting, upon which the fate
of the campaign depends, is not ex-
pected much before the enl Of April.
BY this time Russia will have in the
field, exclusive of the large army of
men required to guard the railroads,
four army corps, each with a cavalry
division and an artillery brigade. All
that has happened SO far, or Is going
to happen until these forces are in the
field, Is considered, according to the
Russian view to be nothing more than
the prologue to the real drama.
The Gripping of the Port Arthur
fleet was unfortunate that ii gave the
enemy command of the sea at the
very onset 1t Is, however, relatively
of small Importance from the stand
point of the main struggle Of the war
whether Port Arthur stands or falls.
AS long as it holds out and the fleet
Is harbored there 1t will constitute
potent menace which will restrict
and hamper the Japanese operations,
and the Russians are determined to
defend Port Arthur as heroically as
they did Sebastopol.
The Russian plans do not contem-
plate taking any chances on the score
Of inferior numbers. By sheer weight
of men and guns II nothing else, when
the proper time arrives, Russia counts
hal mi hn and
rolling them back through Korea.
1t is realized that the vastness OF
the theater of war will make the pro-
lection Of the railroads, the sole
means for the transportation Of troops
and supplies from Europe, one of the
most difficult phases of the Russian
military problem. With the Japanese
In command of the sea there Is always
the possibility of their landing small
bodies Of men in unexpected places to
make incursions into the interior to
cut the railroad telegraph lines and
blow up bridges. but adequate meas
ureS are believed to have been taken
to guard against such misfortune.
Russians underestimate their ad-
versaries. They admit the fine marks
manship of the Japanese and their
ability in determining ranges; yet the
Russians do not believe that the jap
anese can face successfully the leg
ions of the car. On the sea the mari
tine life of the Japanese gives them
a natural advantage; but on dry land,
where belong all the traditions of
the Russian army, the men of the
empire have perfect faith born of
their numerous experiences with pag-
an tribes and the fatalism inherent in
the Russian character. They believe
that Asaitics cannot meet Europeans
in battle array. that the yellow race
cannot triumph over a white, OF heath
ems over Christians

London, March 5.-Little change in
the far eastern situation Is reported
this morning. II Is apparent that the
Japanese are busily engaged In trans
porting their forces into Korea. and
this work Is being facilitated by the
enforced inactivity of the navy.
According to the Sebastopol CORE
spondent of the Daily Graphic, Ad.
miral Skrydloff has learned privately
from Port Arthur that the Russian bat
tleship Retzivan lies in such a posi-
ton as to block effectually the exit of
battleships from the harbor, the pass
age being practicable only for cruis-
ers.
The correspondent adds that Rus
sia's new battleshipa now building on
the Baltic will not be ready for active
commission before the end of August.
The Japanese official who has
charge of Japan's financial and COM
mercial interests in England declares
that his government foresaw the pos
sibility of coal being declared contra
band Of war and that 1t had been col
lecting large stores of Welsh steam
coal for years, so that today it has a
supply sufficient for the needs of the
navy for years to come.

DELANo BILL KILLED.
Stock Shippers Measure Is Indefinite
Iy Postponed.

W FoStponed.
Des Moines, March 4.--The railroad
committee of the house yesterday
voted to recommend the indefinite
postponement Of the DeLano bill.
This was the measure backed by
the stock shippers association, which
was designed to compel the railroads
to transport loaded stock cars In Iowa
at speed of not less than twenty
miles an hour, and to issue return
passes to stock shippers who accom-
panied their stock into Chicago.
The bill received but two or three
votes, it was said, when the motion to
postpone Indefinitely was offered. The
roll was not called for and was not
taken. Representative Doran is I'm.
derstood to have been one Of those
who opposed postponement.
After the motion to postpone indefl.
nitely had been put and carried with
but two or three dissenting votes, Mr..
Doran complained that the vote had
been taken before he had an oppor.
tunity to present substitute bill
which the stock shippers had en-.
dorsed.
To permit him to do this the vote
for indefinite postponement was recon
sidered and Mr.. Doran offered his
measure In the hope of making 1t a
committee bill. Objection was raised
The bill was said not to be in the form
that Mr.. Doran or the stock shippers
desired. 1t provided that the loaded
stock cars must be transported twenty
miles an hour. Mr.. Doran said frank
ly that the shippers had instructed
him to have inserted instead of twenty
miles, seventeen miles an hour on
main lines and fifteen miles on
branches. This change had not been
made and 1t was not thought desirable
to put the bill in in the form in which
1t was 1t was said by those opposing
the DeLano bill that the new measure
was practically duplicate of the De-
LanO bill.
The committee proceeded again to
vote on the DeLano bill. Again the
vote was in favor Of indefinite post
ponemcnt. 1t was stated that no men,
Der voted against the postponement on
the second ballot.
Members OF the railroad committee
held a conference last night and de-
cided to present minority report to-
day. This will leave to the house
the minority or majority re
port will be accepted.

Mr. Moon also submitted views of his
own, condemning railway mail sub

The report then stated that this In

With Revolver.

WIKI nCVoiNcEs
Corning, March 5.-Frank L. Larue
president of the Corning State Saw
ings bank, now In the hands of a re
ceiver, shot and killed himself about
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. This
savings bank closed its doors Febru
airy Is and it's affairs were found to be
badly tangled, it being claimed that
fictitious securities had been foated
The strain and worry of the weeks
preceding the failure had affected Mr.
LaRue, both physically and mentally
and he had been confined to the house
for ten days or more. Yesterday after
noon he locked himself in the bath
room and shot himself in the temple
death being caused instantly. He had
long been one of the leading business
men Of Corning and had many friends
to whom his self-destruction Is ter
rible shock.
LaRue attempted suicide about q
week ago, using poison. He was un
successful.
His insurance amounted to $4,000
He had taken out $4,000 during the
past year. This Is all payable to his
wife.
It is said that the method followed
in floating fictitious securities was to
furnish good securities for the face OF
the loan secured and double the
amount of the security by adding spu.
rious paper. II resources had not fail
ed and loans could have been taken
up, of course no one would ever have
been the wiser as to the bad paper.
