Russians Very UnfriendIy.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 2S.-The Bourse
Gazette makes Washington dispatch
saying the United States has under
taken to lay a submarine cable from
the Philippine islands to Japan. to
prevent the latter's isolation in case
the Russians cut the Shanghai cable,

government at Washington for this
new evidence of its breach of neutral

the United States that the landing of
Improvement of trade relations does
not clear Americas skirts" and in
quiring what the Americans would
say If Germany had run a cable from
Kiao Chou to Port Arthur or Vladi-
vostock."
The news that the United States had
assented to the extension of the Pa
cific cable to Japan. with the reasons
therefor assigned in the dispatches
from Washington, still further agra
waited the popular belief that the Unit
ed States is siding with Japan against
Russia. The few Americans at st.
Petersburg have all remarked upon the
changed demeanor of their Russian
friends. Formerly they were treated
with the greatest cordially. but now
the Russians greet them with the
question:
"Is America our secret enemy, and
will we have to fight her also before
the war comes to an end?"

London, Feb. 27.-A dispatch to a
news agency from st. Petersburg says
the official report of Major General
Plug. chief of staff of Viceroy Alexien,
OIL the details of the attack on Port Ar
thur during the morning of February
25th is as follows:
"The enemy's squadron of sixteen
warships approached from the Dalny
side toward the harbor of Port Arthur
about IL o'clock this morning. and at
once opened fired on our three cruisers
outside the roadstead. namely. the Ask
old, the Bayan and the Novik. and
also against the land forts. The bonn
bardment lasted half an hour. At the
conclusion our cruisers retired into the
harbor The enemy then bombarded
one land battery for several minutes.
Then the enemy also retreated, remain
ing out of the range of our guns.
"In the meanwhile. four japanese
cruisers separated from the enemy S
main squadron and went into Golubins-
ia bay, where they opened heavy hre
on one of our torpedo boats stationed
in the bay. and also on the coast bat
teries. Consequently the commander
of the fort sent troops to this point,
but no landing took place. The COM
bardment there lasted twenty-five min
utes, at the expiration of which the
Japanese cruisers retreated. The loss
on our side this day was one man
wounded in one of the land batteries.

Russians Badly Alarmed.

New York, Feb. 27.-The Herald pub
lishes the following from its st. Peters,
burg correspondent:
After days of anxious waiting for
news the people here have at last set
tied down to the idea that 1t is useless
to expect tidings from the seat of war
for some time-weeks at the least.
That is tho official intimation.
The men of the moment, General
Kuropatkin and Admiral Makaroff, will
probably not reach the seat of war for
a month. and operations. on land at
least. are not likely, that Is. as far as
Russian desires are concerned, to COM
mence until General Kuropatkin has
had time to thoroughly take in and
sum OF the situation.
As has previously been indicated,
there is great probability that the Jap
anese may avail themselves of the very
state of unpreparedness in which the
Russians find themselves to hurry on
their military operations.
This is much feared here. The result
of what might happen under such cir
cumstances hangs as a nightmare over
Russia's peace of mind. Meanwhile.
all are hoping fervently that the Jap
anese will stay their hands.
Russia Is pushing her military prep
artions. tardy though they be. with the
utmost haste. but a single railway line
and not very strongly laid one at
that. forbids an enormous traffic being
sent along, for the line will neither
stand great weights nor high speed.
Even with the greatest care, it is rec
ognized that breaks on the road are to
be numerous.
Lake Baikal so far has proved the
weak spot on the line. There has been
great delay in getting the much-desired
rails laid over the ice.
Owing to the cold there is very
large demand for felt. which is largely
used in lining the wagons in which SOL
diers are conveyed. The price has gone
up from 20 kopecks to / ruble so ko-
pecks per archin. The price of provis-
ions is going up all along the line and
especially does meat command high
rates.

President Kruger Dying.

st. Louis, Feb. 2S.-A letter received
in this city by Gen. Benjamin Viljoen,
formerly of the Boer army, announces
that ex-President Kruger of the Boer
republic is slowly dying as an exile at
Mentone, France, and that DIR. Reitz,
state secretary under President Kreu-
ger, is also an exile at Mentone, and
constant sufferer from nervous pros
tration. Speaking of Mr.. Kreuger,
General Viljoen says:
MY information regarding the late
president of the republic comes from
a member of his household. The poor
old mans mind is decaying rapidly. his
health is very poor and it is apparent
to those close to him that the end is
approaching.

New York, Feb. 26.-The Herald
publishes the following from its Lon
don correspondent:
Strategists apparently are satisfied
that the Japanese have landed at Pos
siet bay and that their object is to
either attack Vladivostock or threaten
Kiran, Harbin and the Russian COM
munications generally. Military men in
Berlin scout the report of a landing,
pointing out that the garrison at Hun
chun is reported to consist of two regi-
ments. and that they would not have
fed without firing a shot.
General Plugs report that eleven
Japanese warships had been seen on
Vladivostock tends to strengthen the
reported landing at Possiet. Possiet
bay is a good harbor. but in winter 1t
freezes for five miles from shore. 1t is
fortified and formerly, at least, was an
important military post, as high as
10000 men having been kept there dur
ing 1894, the year of the Japanese-Chi-
nese war. The Notifications alone call
for a good-sized garrison. If the Jap
anese have landed there, they must be
credited with a daring bit of strategy.

PROPOSED BUREAU
TO AID SETTLERS

Washington, d. C.-Feb. 29.-Com-
mander Booth Tucker of the Salvation
Army is at the capital in the interest
OF a proposed government colonization
bureau which is to be operated in con-
junction with the reclamation act OF
June II. 1902. Commander Tucker
states that he had worked up the pro-
posed legislation under the direction
and with the cooperation of the late
Senator Hanna, who would have intro
duced the bill to carry 1t into effect,
had he lived. Commander Tucker now
IL seeking aid from Senator Fairbanks
of Indiana, who, doubtless, Will take
charge of the measure.
The bill has been carefully prepared.
and has been submitted to eminent le-
gal authorities and pronounced prac-
tieable. and the plan feasible. The
proposition. briefly. is this:
/. The formation of colonization
bureau under the directions of n COM
missioner of colonization, in connection
with the Department of the Interior.
2 The collection by the bureau or
reliable information for the would-be
settlers.
g. The advancing to the bona fide
settlers of from $500 to 81 500 in cash
or materials for the purpose of en-
abling worthy. but poor families, to
make homes for themselves upon the
lands.
4. The issue of three per cent. sixty
year gold bonds TO the amount of $50
600 900, not more than SIS 900 900 to be
issued per year for such colonization
purposes.
g. The establishment of worthy
families on farms which are not to ex-
ceed forty acres of irrigated, or eighty
acres of non-irrigated land, to be paid
for in easy installments.
The main objects of the bill are.
briefly:
/. In the words OF President Roose-
welt. ito give every man who wants it
n chance to get home on the land
q Again quoting the Presidents
words, ito check the trend of the popu-
lation to the cities. and turn ii back
to the land"
g. To place the landless man on the
manless land.
4. To place unemployed labor or un-
employed land by means of unemployed
capital. and thereby convert this trinity
of waste into a unity of production.
s. To mitigate the friction between
capital and labor
6. To assist the worthy poor with
out pauperizing them.
z. To find way out for the middle
aged workingman who is. at present.
not wanted by the employer. and who.
in case of losing his position, finds it
exceedingly difficult to get another.
Commander Tucker states that there
is no doubt that the proposed plan can
b. put on working and paying basis.
He instances the example of New Zea-
land. where, in 1894, THE Advance to
Settlers Act was passed. and where
S1SOO0.0O0 have been advanced on
lands. the same as outlined in the pro-
posed legislation for this country.

JAPANESE FLEET ATTACKS PORT ARTHUR
KUROPATKIN WANTS FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN

The surprising and almost astound-
ing latest news is that General kuro-
patkin will not go to the front as was
previously announced in three days
time, but not for several weeks. The
reason for this, is that it is not worth
while for him to go there until 100000
Russian soldiers are gathered at the
seat of war. In fact, he cannot take
the offensive until that number is
forthcoming. The present force avail
able outside of the heavy contingent
guarding the railroad does not exceed
100, 900 men.
General Kuropatkin, it is remem-
bered, was recently in Japan, where
he formed very high opinion of the
efficiency of the Japanese troops. 1t
may also be recollected that he be-
longs to the anti-war party. At re-
cent audience with the Emperor, Gen
eral Kuropatkin spoke very openly
about the necessity of his having
large number of troops, and he is fur
ther credited with having said. Your
majesty will need me back soon to
look after European developments"
and very propably the key to this is
given in the statement of widely
known Russian international jurist,
who says it is quite possible that Rus
sia will wage war concerning the Thi-
betan question, but with Thibet the
only ostensible cause to be used in
case England should make any move
of too friendly a nature toward Japan.

DON'T PARADE HARD LUCK.
Hard Sense, II Persisted In, Will Over

A very keen politician going abroad
for an extended tour advertised for
ran to relieve him of the smaller wor-
ries of travelling. He reduced the ap-
plicants to one, and was about to COM
plete the negotiations when the for
tunate person began to tell him of his
career his ambitions, opportunities
and misfortunes-a genuine hard-luck
story. The politician listened for
while and then suddenly interposed:
- find that | do not want you" and
when pressed for his reason. replied: Il
never hire bad-luck people. especially
the kind who talk about it.
There seems to be an injustice in this.
and there doubtless is. At the same
time this politician was a judge of men,
or he would not have been successful
politician Most persons who have
achieved success are Obliged to listen
TO bad-luck stories despite their efforts
to avoid them. The main reason tho
modern merchant or manager protects
himself with a guard of doorkeepers
and ante-rooms is to escape callers who
want to take up his time by narratives
Of their misfortunes.
Every large center of population has
its army of bad-luck sufferers, and
among them are men of education,
men who are almost. but not quite.
strong enough to reach success. Their
point of view is out of compass: their
bearings are wrong; their attitude is
that some one who has succeeded must
make amends for their own shortcom-
ings These unfortunates are probably
the most hopeless persons in the world

ideas as in the possibilities of their
