Memphis, March 2o.-A special to the
Commercial-Appeal from Grenada, Miss,

An anti-lynching crusode has been in
auguarated by the w. r. Barksdale
camp, United Confederate veterans of

JEWISH MERCHANTS
DRIVEN FROM HOME
ARE FORCED TO SELL THEIR BUS
INESS AT VLADlVOSTOCk AT A
HEAVY SACRIFICE AND LEAVE.
DEFENsEs STRONG.

Victoria, B. c., March 20.-The Boston
Steamship company's steamer Shawmut
arrived this morning from Manila via
China and Japan. Among the passengers
were Augustus Libby and Cornelius Hoff,
Jewish merchants al Vladivostok, VINO
received twenty-1our nours notice from
the Russian military authorities to leave
the country. They had to abandon their
business sell out at heavy sacrlhce'
an travel by sleds more than a thousand
miles to the nearest port on the Korean
coast. No sooner had they gotten into
Korea than they encountered the special
service officers of the japanese war de-
partment and they were in more trouble,
their story not being accepted. After en-
during many nardships and much annoy
ance, they embarked on the Shawmut In
Yokohama. All the time the two Jewish
merchants were in Japan they were shad-
owed by special service men.
Messrs. Libby and Hoff say that the
winter at VladiVostock has been excep-
tionally mild. The sea had been frozen
six miles out from the harbor entrance
and the ice-breakers go out every morn
ing, returning at noon, clearing chah-
mel. The Russians just before the war
had strong forces at work on the fortifi-
cations making new entrenchments,
building bomb-proof store houses and
placing big guns. The place is immense
Is strong by nature but has been rem
dered inIpregnable by the forti1cations
which command the entrance and chan
mel to the harbor. This garrison in jan
uary amounted to about 10000 or 10000
men of all arms, mostly artillery
The whole sea front 'of Vladlvostock Is
a network of submarine mines. Since the
outbreak of the war, very few vessels
have entered the harDor from the SOUTH
owing to the fear Of Japanese commerce
destroyers. The Russians appeared to
be greatly annoyed when it was learned
that the railroad between Vladivostok
and Harbin had been torn up and the
bridges dynamited. Apparently no at
tempt was made to repair the damage
The Shawmut encountered japanese
torpedo boats and destroyers hundreds of
miles out at sea. and these vessels are

SLIGHT SKIRMISHES BUT
NO BATTLES REPORTIR
Military Authorities Startled by At
tempt of Japanese to Land in
Helena Bay, and Energetic
Measures Are Taken.

London, March 21.-Nothing has reached
here to confirm the report that a battle
has taken place ON the Yalu in which the
Russians captured 1900 prisoners A dis
patch from St. Petersburg to news
agency, dated yesterday. says there has
been no change in the situation and that
all is quiet on both land and sea between
the Russian line from Ping Yang to the
Yalu river, and the japanese line to Cen
san There have been slight skirmishes
between scouts, but no battle has taken
place, as the distance between the op-
posing armies is great.
The bulk of the Russian forces, the de-
spatch adds, has not yet passed the Yalu
river.
The ST. Petersburg correspon',er, Of tha
Daily Telegraph says that the military
authorities were startled by the attempt
of the Japanese to land in Helena bay
as the nearest Russian force that could
have been used against them consisted
of three rifle regiments at New Chwang
The weather having hindered the Japa-
nese landing, energetic measures are now
adopted to prevent such descent. Among
the other devices adopted has been con-
centration of troops at Foo Chow, twenty
two miles south of Helena bay
In cabling the fact that all British and
American residents at New Chwang must
remain within the walls, correspondent
of the Daily Chronicle A. New Chwang
says;
Il was. arrested while attempting to
leave yesterday"
The correspondent says 1t is reported
that japanese squadron arrived at the
mouth of the Lao river Saturday night
and landed a party which after recon-
noitering, re-embarked.

co-Eos. ARRAIeNED.
English Professor Angry Because They
Showed Little Appreciation.

University of California, Cal. March
20-Prof. Charles Mills Gayley. head of
the English department, who has been
given prominence recently on account of
his pronounced stand against co-educa-
ton, has taken his poetry class Of 100
young women severely to task. In his
arraignment of the '-co-eds' the profess
sor said:
If God Almighty or the Angel Gabriel
wrote a poem, il would not interest you.
You are nothing but giggling girls. Half
of you ought to be made to pay tuition.
Class dismissed"
Professor Gayley was trying to tell the
class about the glories of some new poe
try, but they were apparently not inter-
ested. When Professor Gayley had de-
livered his admoniton, he tossed his
books into a hand-grip and left the class
in a state of bewilderment. There Is
now great Indignation among the Co

Washington, March 2O.-The postoffice,
the military academy and the sundry APP

mapped out for the house this week.
On Monday the house will adjourn ear
lier owing to the death of Representative

The military academy bill is not expected
to consume much time.

consideration will extend into the follow

VLADIVOSTOCK WAS
TAKEN UNA WIRES
FOREIGNERS ARE
DENIED FREEDOM
ARE FORBIDDEN TO GO BEYOND
THE MUD WALLS OF NATIVE
CITY BY RUSSIAN COMMANDER
AT NEW cHWANG.

New Chwang, March 20-The foreign
consuls today officially notified their gov
ernments Chat the Russian commander of
the garrison has forbidden foreigners to
go beyond the mud walls of the native
city with the single exception that they
are allowed to use the river bank be-
tween the foreign settlement and the
foreign gunboats. This exception Is
made on account of the presence Of the
United States gunboat Helena and the
British cruiser Espiegle, which otherwise
would be entirely cut off from commune
cation with their respective settlements.
The Russian order particularly forbids
visiting the forts on the Lao river and
also Wutatsu, village two miles south
of the fort. The above order is declared
to be a necessary military measure on
account of the arrangement being made
for the defense of the coast.
Foreigners still have access to the west
and north shores of the Lao, and use
the railway and telegraph lines, although
the Chinese managers of the telegraph
line have instructed their employees to
withdraw to Thien Chuang Tai in the
event of hostilities. This action and also
the threatened withdrawal or the railway
staff, has been severely condemned on
account of their being outside Of real
danger.
The German consul at Tien Tsln, in an
official statement, says the purpose of his
visit here is to investigate the causes of
alarm and the danger to German resi-
dents.
The Russian authorities have given no.
tice that no consular communications on
affairs originating In or connected with
Dalny or Port Arthur will be received.
Responsible Russians here have we'll
defined impression that the American or
other consus will not be allowed at Muk-
den, Antung, or elsewhere in Manchuria
