KAISER SENDS TO CAR
A LETTER OF SYMPATHY

although the people understand that
he is at Harbin. General VlakOff is in
command of the non-cOmbatant force
at Hardin. When the Tenth Regiment
is near Kinchow, the Ninth Regiment
near Liauchang, and the Twelfth Regi-
ment near Liaoyang, it is intended to
commence a simultaneous march tow
ard the Yalu River. While Major Cen
eral Plug is advancing the troops from
Mukden to the Yalu he will at the
same time be strengthening his center
and be prepared to defend the railroad
and the north gulf coast in force. The
military authorities are thoroughly
aware of their unpreDarsdness to rush
reinforcements.
IAN enormous consignment of artil-

STEAMSHIP BRINGS
JAPANESE EXHIBIT
FOR ST. LOUIS FAIR

VICTORIA, B. c.. Feb. 2O.-The
steamship Lyra of the. Boston Steam
ship Company arrived this morning
from Yokohama after the roughest
passage ever made by her across the
Pacific. She battled with fierce hur-
ricanes all the way. The Lyra brings
the most valuable cargo ever shipped
from Japan to America, consisting of
articles for the japanese exhibit at the
st. Louis Exposition, including con-
tributions from the Mikado's own pri-
vate collection.
The Lyra left just before the out
break of the war, but the feeling then
was intense. Immense crowds be-
sieged the naval and military offices
demanding enrolment.
A grand parade of imperial cavalry
took place on the military grounds at
Toxic just before the steamship left
and was witnessed by hundreds of
thousands of people wild with enthu-
siasm. For many weeks previous to
the sailing of the Lyra the Japanese
naval vessels had been at target prac-
tice.

The Fate of a Game Cock.

Our friend across the way. George
w. Robards, is having lots of fun with
his American eagle, and the bird is
proving a drawing card. The other
day a farmer brought in a big old
game rooster that had crowed over
many a conquered victim. In fact he
was the terror of all the gentlemen
chickens in his vicinity. His spurs
were three and a half inches long. as
hard and sharp as steel and had drawn
blood from his adversary in many a
bill-to-b bill contest. in which he was
always victorious. When taken to
the eagles cage his feathers rose and
he evinced in other ways his eager
ness to battle with the monster bird.
He was put into the cage and in less
than half the time you have been
reading this his body had been rent to
pieces, his insides swallowed by the
eagle and his les5 and feathers scat
tered about the cage Then the eagle
mounted his perch. wiped his bill, and
said with his eyes): Bring on an
other shorse. e."-Harrodsburg (Ky.)

official escort and visited Port Arthur,
which is closed to all civilians. The
correspondent gives the following ac-
count of conditions:
only 30 per cent of the population
remains at Port Arthur and many Of
these are leaving. The trains are still
crowded with refugees. Railroad con-
ditions are excellent and trains are
running on schedule time. There are
only a few unfinished sidetracks and
one unfinished bridge between New
chwang. and Port Arthur. The penin-
sula of Liaotung is quiet. Adequate
guards are maintained at all culverts
and bridges and preparations for de-
fense are being continued. The troops
in the vicinity of Kinchow are active.
A strong force is guarding the narrow
est section of the peninsula.
THE authorities have mitigated war
conditions at Port Arthur by fixing the
prices of foodstuffs. The prices of
other commodities, however, have ad-
vanced. The authorities have taken
possession of all food supplies in the
stores which were deserted by Chinese
and other merchants. They are pro-
viding for siege by sending wheat
milling machinery TO Port Arthur and
claim that there is sufficient food
supply there for a resistance of two
years.
Japanese refugees, under the per-
sonal supervision of the Viceroy and
General Plancon. are leaving Port
Arthur on released ships. The local
4f BRIT CT ir1e
which were deserted during the Jap
anese attack are endeavoring to induce
the captains of these vessels to return
and reclaim them. The Brand, the
only ship now remaining at Port
Arthur. will leave there on February 81
with refugees and dispatches.
Although the harbors on the Lao
tung Peninsula have been reopened, the
authorities do not expect further ar
rivals. The japanese fleet, which is
sighted at intervals from Gold Hill.

the imperfect police system, all in
comers are treated as spies:
"The repairs to the Russi-1 fleet are
proceeding. The cruiser Novik has
been docked but the condition of the
battleships Cesarevitch and Retvizan
remains unchanged. Engineers say that
the Retvizan will be floated in few
days.
"The official reports commend Cap

Bersan of the cruiser Bayan for gallant
conduct on February and indicate
that. in spite of the fact that no Jap

PAINS. Feb. oo.-Wild excitment pre-
vailed on the bourse to-day as the
result OF startling contradictory re-
ports concerning possible world COM
plicstions growing out Of the war.
These rumors included the prospective
mobilization Of the German and French
armies. The evening papers also said
that serious influences were eXerted by
the report OF difficulties between the
United States and Russia in conse-
Quence Of the refusal of Russia to
grant an eXequatUr TO Morgan as
United States Consul at Dalny. Finan-
cicrs asserted the market was in such
a sensitive condition that the widest
rumors were taken up and might lead
10 serious complications.
Financial authorities say that not
since 1852 has a scene occurred on the
bOurse like that Of to-day. Almost
from the opening the leading securities
began 10 fall. French rentes were par
ticularly affected. Russian imperials
also dropped, as did also other foreign
bonds. During the early hours heavy
depreciation occurred on all sides,
leading UP 10 brutal sacrifices Of val
ucs.
Spanish rcntes were specially affect
ed By the great confusion which pre-
vailed over the fears of international
complications.
EXCITEMENT Is REDOUBLED.
This condition was aggravated during
the closing hour, and the excitement
which amounted to q panic, was re-
doubled. French, Spanish and Turkish

FINANCIERs WILL ACT.

nent financiers will assemble to-mor-

continuance of the panic on Monday.
Their efforts will be assisted by the
authorities, who are publicly denying
the alarming rumors.
The Foreign Office denied the re-
port circulated on the Bourse to-day
of the mobilization of the French army
and no information has been received
that such a step has, been taken by
Germany. All that has been done has
been to take measures of precaution-
airy character, not because of
any fear of immediate trouble,
but in order to be prepared for possi-
bic eventualities. The Foreign Office
officials also declared that the Bourse
panic was utterly without reason.
The Foreign Office here declared to
