Daily Mail from Yinkow says Japa-
nese third army is mobilizing at
Hiroshima. 1t evidently involves the
utilization of the second army for the
reduction of Port Arthur, and, there

respondent says it is reported the
Russians are removing stores and pro-
visions to Hardin and that 100 locomo-
tives and 500 cars are collected at
Liao Yang in readiness to convey pas
sengers and food Therefore, he says,
the conclusion is that the Russians
are preparing to retreat. Reports

the Chinese there are alarmed be-
cause of threats made by the Rus
slams that they will burn Liao Yang
and Mukden before retiring to Harbin.
The correspondent adds that the Tar
tar viceroy at Mukden has ordered a

Deer Hunters ia Vermont Must See

Rutland, April IA. Judge J. M. Tyler
Ia county court today ruled that unless .

ter could see them before shooting. IL
would be illegal 70 kin the deer in the
open season. Following the expression Of
this opinion the jury returned verdict Of
guilty ia the case Of the state against El-
mer +. ST Johns OF Hubbardton and be
was fined 500 and costs st. Johns killed
the deer 10 question last fail The testi-
m0ny went 70 show that the horns were
not long enough 10 be seen through the
halr.
Judge Tylerin this case said: 1The
view 4 the court IS that the evidence Of
all the witnesses including the respondent
shows that the deer had no such horns as
gave notice to the hunter that he might
shoot him. In other words the horns must
be visible not merely discoyerable by
touch but they must be OF such length as
to give notice to the hunter that he may
kill the deer 10 open season.
