Guns Not In Place.

London. March 21.--A correspondent
follows:
According to Information received
here, the reason the Vladlvostok forts
did not reply to the bombardment by
the Japanese was because the bat.
teries were not provided with guns
Since the bombardment parties have
been working night and day TO place
guns in position. The bombardment
destroyed the the Linevitch battery
The Russian losse we're slight because
the batteries were deserted.
THE same conditions prevail at
vladivostok as at Port Arthur. The
supply of provisions there is running
short and the population is panic
stricken. The ice is considered the
only prtteeIon."

Slow Progress Predicted.

Paris. March 20.-The Figaro's cor
respondent in Berlin telegraphs that
German officer who has just arrived
there from Manchurla says serious op-
erations in the Far East. will not be
begun before the end of juno.
The principal obstacle to Russian
victory. according to this officer. is the
fact that 10000 Chinese troops, well
trained. aBd with German and Japan
ese instructors. are menacing Russia's
line Of communication. Russia. with
the support of Germany. will protest
against this concentration of Chinese
troops.

TORNADO IN MISSOURI.
Fifty Buildings Wrecked in Town of
Hiqqinsville.

Kansas City. March ga special
to the Times from Hlgginsville. Mis-
souri,, says: Fifty buildings are partly
wrecked. one man is mortally wounded
and several others hurt: the town is
On darkness and the streets strewn
with debris as the result of a tornado
and haii storm which struck this place
late yesterday.
The hail on the streets was n foot
deep within five minutes after the
storm came and some Of the hailstones
were phenomenally large.
Dozens of trees In the town were
blown down and several horses were
killed in the street. The storm came
without warning. The wind and hail
came first and were followed by ter
rifle downpour of rain which flooded
nearly every cellar In the town.
The storm came from the West, trav-
cling eastward. 1t kept within mar
row path. at least the tornado portion,
only about two blocks OF the business
portion of the town being damaged.
Two other towns in this section were
in the path of the storm and both hay
ing population OF 500 or 600.
According to meager reports that are
received here last night, several
houses in both places have been
wrecked, but the exact extent of the
damage is not known.
The grocery store of J. w. EMILY. in
the business part of this place. was
wrecked by the storm.
John Holzen. clerk, was mortally
injured and probably will not live
through the day. One leg is broken
in two places and he is internally In
jured.
1t is estimated that 1000 windows
were broken by the storm. More than
fifty houses have been unroofed.
The most careful estimate OF the fin
ancial loss is 100000.

Russian Victory Not Confirmed.

London, March 21.-Nothing has
reached here to confirm the report that
battle has taken place on the Yalu
in which the Russians are alleged to
claim that they captured 1900 prison
ers.
A dispatch from ST Petersburg to
a news agency dated yesterday says
there has been no change in the situa-
ton and that all is quiet. Between the
Russian line from Ping Yang to the
Yalu river and the Japanese line to
Gensan there have been slight skir-
mishes between scouts. but no battle
has taken place, as the distance be-
tween the opposing armies is great
The bulk of the Russian forces, the
dispatch adds, has not yet passed the
Yalu river.

TROOPS REFUSED
NOT TO BE SENT TO TELLURIDE
Governor Advises Deported Miners To
Apply to the Courts for An
Injunction.

Denver March 22-The Republican
this morning says: With reference to
the situation at Telluride. Governor
peabody said yesterday that he was
firm In his intention not to permit the
assemblage or movement OF armed
forces at any part OF the state. He said
no effort had been made to interview
him by members Of the Western FEEDER
alton Of Miners or the committee from
the miners who were deported from
Telluride, which has been in the city.
He advises the deported miners to go
to the proper court In that vicinity. as
was done In the Idaho Springs Difficult
ty. as that is the proper place for them
TO seek remedy in their present trou-
bic. II has been rumored for some
time that the deported miners would
ask for an Injunction from Judge Stew
ems at Ouray. permitting their return
to Telluride without being molested. II
they are determined to return there 1t
is thought more probable at the state
house that this plan would be followed
than that they should mobilize under
arms and make an advance on the city
by main force, thus precipitating fur
ther trouble and perhaps bloodshed.
Adjutant General Bell did not go to
Telluride Saturday night. as was rum
ored and evidently has no intention
of leaving the city at the present time.
The situation at Cripple Creek Is now
quiet. committee from the Mine
Owners Association conferred with
Governor Peabody yesterday afternoon,
but he stated that their call was pri-
vate one and refused to discuss It's OBJ
ject.
Governor Peabody stated in an inter
view yesterday afternoon that he had
received no requests from Trinidad for
troops TO take command in the south
ern coal fields. but that matters APP
peared 10 be very grave there. Sheriff
Clark Of Las Animas and the mayor
pf Trinidad have been in communica-
tion with the governor. the former be-
ing in Denver yesterday. No troops
will be ordered out, according to the
governor, until some urgent demands
are made upon him by citizens of that
county.

line. which plies between that city and
Port Arthur. The ship reached Che
mulpo February sth and anchored near
the Russian cruisers Variag and Ko-
fietz. At that time not a Japanese YES
sci was in sight The subsequent bat
tie Is vividly described in his letter to
q friend in Denver, which reads in part
as follows:
Nothing unusual occurred until
about p. m, when a long line of
Japanese cruisers, torpedo boats and
three transports-twelve in all
steamed in and anchored. 1t was dark
before the troops began to disembark
some 5000 hardy looking fellows,
equipped for active service.
1.-The soldiers landed, the fleet with

channel by which alone heavy-draught
ships can pass in or out-the Asama.
Takashito, Gushirna, Nanivo. Chiyoda,
Nitoka and eight torpedo boats. Be
sides these second line was rumored.
Tuesday, the 9th. like a shock ran
through the city the report that the
Japanese consul had notified the Rus
SLAMS that If they did not sail out by
noon they would be attacked in the
harbor at p. m. Soon after an official
order was made public that the Japa-
nese ships would attack the Russian
men-of-war in Chemulpo harbor II
they did net leave before noon. The
Russians decided to go out at once and
stripped their ships for action.

Editor Journal Miner The modern miracle mentioned in your issue of last week about two men turning to rubber, was eclipsed on Thursday on Montezuma street. During the storm a man of immense avoirdupois clad only in shirt, hat and pants, the latter being more abbreviated than a bathing suit came paddling up the street through the water, swaying from side to side as though the effort wearied him when a dozen men turned to rub Der and a score more rubbered without turning.
