st. Petersburg, April 4. - A press
correspondent en- route to the front,
writing from Harbin, March 13, de-
scribes the scene there as he observed
1t.
From all sides soldiers were pour
ing into Harbin, The uncOmpleted
railroad station there had been trans
formed into a barracks, and almost
every house in the town was occupied
by soldiers.
Pristan, a short distance away,
which until recently had been a small
village on the bank of the Sungari
river, had become a city with tenn
porary buildings which were being
used by the troops and with stores, a
hotel and restaurants.
The snow-flled streets of the two
cities, at the time the correspondent
wrote, were thronged with picturesque
Cossacks, bearded Siberians, sharp
shooters and galloping orderlies, all
imbued with the fever to get to the
front. Merchants and restaurant
keepers. the correspondent adds, were
accused of eXtortion but money was
cheap.
Spring was coming on though vio-
lent snowsrorms continued to rage.

CHANCES FAVOR JAPAN.
Siberian Railway Failure and Rus
sian Administration iioneycombed
With Corruption.

Victoria, b. c., April 5.-R. L. Nc.
Gowan, an American business man
who has spent many years amongst
the Russians both in Europe and Asia
has arrived by the steamship Agamem'
non from Yokohama. He says taht
nothing but a miracle can save Russia
from humiliating and disastrous de
feat at the hands Of the Japanese
Russia's army, navy and civil services
are honeyccmbed with corruption and
mutiny to an extent utterly beyond be
lief.
The Trans-Siberian railway is
complete failure The Japanese know
to a nicely Russias strength in East
Asia and count upon a siX-years' war
They know the Russians have no sup
plies and cannot get any except by
dribbles from Europe.
The Japanese scheme is to drive the
Russians out of Manchuria, seize Sa
galien island, wrested from them
many years ago and forming the AL
sace-Lorraine of the Far East; take
Kamchatka peninsula and so settle the
vexed sealing question, with which
Russia has grievously interfered, dom
mate in Corea and have free entry tC
Pekin as demanded after the war with
China and blocked by Russia.
The Japanese count Port Arthur anG
Vladivostok as mere incidents in the
campaign and look upon them as al
ready theirs. The Japanese have
made vast preparations and every
move has been calculated.
In his opinion the contest is most
unequal one with every advantage or
the side of the Japanese. Mr. Nc
Gowan when in the Orient had eXceD
tional opportunities of acquiring eX
elusive information. He says the Jan

BOOM FOR WATSON.

His Name to National Convention.
Pittsburg, April 4.-The Democracy
of Pennsylvania may have a candidate
of its own to present to the national
convention for the presidential nomi-
nation in the person of d. T. Watson
of Pittsburg. While the party leaders
in this county believe now that an un-
instructed delegation will be sent to
the convention the launching Of a
boom for Mr. Watson is likely 70 prove
dangerous to any such plan.
No definite steps have been taken
to have Mr.. Watson's name presented
to the state convention Of April 19,
but this is largely due to the uncer-
tainty surrounding his desires in re-
gard to the matter.
1t was pointed out by Democrats
who were interviewed on the subject
that the eminent Pitsburg attorney
who was so largely responsible for the
success of the governments enOrt to
enforce the Sherman antitrust law on
the Northern Securities company
should be one of the strongest candi-
dates that could be presented.
Local Democrats of all factions who
were approached on the subject de-
clared that Mr.. Watson was the logical
candidate While the followers Of Ma
tional Committeeman Guffey were
chary about being quoted, largely be-
cause of his attitude for an uninstruct-
ed delegation, the private opinions
were decidedly complimentary to
"Pittsburg's candidate"
