Destruction at Dalny.
Chefoo, May 31=7:3O D. m.=Five
hundred Chinese refugees from Port
Dalny and Talien Wan arrived here
today. After sitting their conflicting
stories it appears that the Russians
| left Talien Wan May % for Port Ar
thur, after burning everything likely
to be of use to the japanese Bandits
later took possession of the town and
were pillaging when the Japanese cav
airy appeared May 81 On May 26
the Russians left Port Dalny, previ-
ously burning the Office and resi-
dences, destroying the railroad and
scuttling three large merchantmen,
the Seid, Boreia and Nagadan and all
the dredgers and launches.
Some of the refugees also say the
Russians destroyed the gunboat
Bobra, which is said to have taken
part in the battle of Thursday last at
Kin Chou, and three torpedo boats.
/ Others say these vessels returned to
/ Port Arthur. The docks and piers at
Dalny were not destroyed Bandits
occupied the city after the Russians
/ left and levied tribute on the inhabit-
ants A Chinese contractor who had
built most of Dalny for the Russians
was held for ransom and his clerks
were killed. The town was still burn
/ ing May %, when the refugees start
ed for Chefoo. The japanese had not
! appeared at Dalny up to that time.
One junk which was leaving Dalny
was sunk by bandits and fifty persons
were drowned.
The Chinese who have arrived here
/ did not leave Dalny or Talien Wan
| because they were afraid of the Rus
slams or Japanese. They fed from the
| bandits who entered those towns.
To Relieve Port Arthur.
Tien Tsin, May Sit is reported
here that the first brigade of the
First Russian division, consisting OF
the First, Second. Third and Fourth
Siberian regiments, left TashichaO, a
point on the railroad about 20 miles
south of New Chwang, for Kin Chou
yesterday. The purpose of this move
/ ment is not known, but it is believed
that the troops are moving to the re-
lief of Port Arthur. They are to be
followed by an entire division.

they sold it.

This compromise which continued in
full force and effect for thirty-four
years would have been quite sufficient
to meet all eXigencies had it not been
for the Mexican war a war undertaken
at the instance of the southern stotes
for the purpose of securing additional
territory below the parallel named in
the Missouri Compromise for the ex-
tension of slavery. In the Mexican war,

which brought it about. The law an
nexing Texas provided for possibly
four states to be carved out of that
territory, which would of course large
ly increase the political power of those
favoring slavery. It was supposed at
the time of the Mexican war that the
additional territory extending to the
Pacific coast obtained from Mexico
would be well adapted for the introduc-
tion of slavery, but it became apparent
from the organization of the territory
of California as a free state and a

Western Canada Will Soon Become

:
New York, Feb 29.-An interesting
phenomenon in banking circles is the
way certain national banks on the
Pacific coast are engaged in taking out
note circulation and shipping it to the
Philippines. The war department has
no positive information, as to the rea-
sons for this. but the assumption is
that it means that the war in the east
has caused drain upon the Mexican
silver in the islands, and that the
Pacific coast banks are Selling this
opening for their notes. which are
actually needed to fill void, and
hence are eagerly welcomed.
For the larger denominations our
paper money is always popular on the
islands. The present emergency, it is
believed, will add to the favor in which
it is held commercially; and as the
Mexican dollar, once out of the Philip
pines, will not be permitted to return,
our paper is bound to become a fixture
and have wider and wider usefulness
as local industrial development pro-
ceeds. The ultimate result counted on
is currency system which will APP
proximate that of the United States,
with our paper covering the highest
levels and the local silver coinage
taking a subsidiary place.
At the treasury the phenomenon is
regarded as open to another explanai
tion-the universal preference of ma
tional banks for sending their notes
where they will never, or scarcely ever,
come back for redemption. It is noted
that, while California banks are ship
ping notes to the Philippines, Hawaiian
banks are sending them over to our
mainland. In Hawaii, as on our gold
coast, the people have never taken
kindly to the use of paper currency;
but the banks find profit in taking
out notes and sending them here, on
the ground that the distance is too
great to justify their return, except in
emergencies, or when so soiled and
mutilated as to require exchange for
fresh notes. It is thought that possibly
the shipments from California to the
Philippines may be explained on this
theory. The full truth may lie some
where between the two ideas
