B1cked up by over a third Of century
OF remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers Of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 In
legal money for any case of Leucorrhea
Female Weakness, Prolapsus or Falling OF
Womb, which they cannot cure. All they
ask is fair and reasonable trial of theii
means of cure.
Very often a married woman or young
girl does not know who to turn to for ad.
vice in circumstances where she dislikes to
talk with the family physician about deli.
cate matters. Al such times write to DR..
r. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y, for free consultation and
advice, and the same will be held as sa.
credly cophdential. II Is foolish to consult
women friends or persons without medical
training.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription con.
tains no alcohol, Is entirely vegetable and
was the first exclusively womans tonic on
the market-it has sold more largely in
the past third Of a century than any othet
medicine for women.
All other compounds intended for women
only are made with alcohol, or alcohol Is o
large component-this alcohol Injuries the
nerves, The little red corpuscles Of the

compounds, therefore, do harm.

DRAMATIC SEQUEL TO DISASTER.
Alexieff Said to Have Killed Officer for
Russian Defeat

A cablegram from London last night says:
The st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Express wires: Il learn from official sources
the news of a draamtic sequel to the Rus
sian disaster at Port Arthur on February 8.
After the attack by the Japanese Viceroy
Alexieff summoned before him the Russian
officers whose negligence was the main
cause Of the defeat.
after cross-examining them as to their
conduct Alexieff was convinced that lieu
tenant among them was most culpably
guilty. 1t is declared that Alexieff drew
revolver and shot the young officer dead be-
fore his comrades. The lieutenant had taken
a party of officers ashore on torpedo boat,
whereas he should have been on guard out
side the harbor."
Dispatches state that Admiral Stark sec
ond in command of the fleet at Port Arthur,
was giving ball in honor of his wife's
name day when the Japanese attacked
about midnight February s. Most of the ma
val officers were at the ball and, after the
alarm, could not reach their ships for one
or two hours. When Admiral Stark, at the
ball. learned of the attack he tainted.
dispatch from st. Petersburg says he is in
disgrace Admiral Makaroff Is to succeed
him.

RUSSIAN FLEET MOVING.
Six Vessels Pass Gothland, in the Bal
tic, Southbound.

A cablegram from Copenhagen last night
says:
A dispatch has been received here from
Wisely Island of Gothland, saying that six
Russian warships passed the island Febru-
airy IL, going south.
The Island of Gothland is in the Baltic
sea, off the eastern coast of Sweden. 1t
lies in the course of vessels coming down
the Baltic from Kronstadt to pass out into
the North sea. 1t was reported last week
from Copenhagen that the Russian Baltic
squadron. of fifteen warships. had passed
through Danish waters en- route for the
far east, but this report was not confirmed.
1t was also reported from Berlin that
Russia had requested permission of Ger
many to send warships through the Kiel
canal. which is one way of getting into
the North sea from the Baltic. 1t was
subsequently announced from Berlin that
nothing was known there officially of the
impending passage of the Russian Baltic
fleet through the Kiel canal. 1t was also
pointed out in Berlin that Russia had but
seven or eight warships in the Baltic that
could be made serviceable against Japan.

USING HEAVY ToRPFDoEs.
Japan's Victories Cause a Stir in
British Admiralty.

A cablegram from London last night says:
Details of the last attack of the torpedo
fiotilla at Port Arthur on Saturday and
Sunday are still meager, Notwithstanding
the official report received by the Japanese
legation tonight. Naval officers await
them with keen interest, as it is evident
that the Russian authorities have sup
pressed the truth about the first assault.
which was more destructive than the Japan
ese admiral understood at the time. Experts
assert that the remnant of the Russian
fleet can be destroyed by torpedoes If it
ventures TO remain outside the inner har-
Dor, and that the man behind the torpedo
will do all the work in future naval war
fare.
The British admiralty has walked up at
once and, not content with supplying the
battle ships now In commission with 14-inch
torpedoes, capable of running 5000 yards
is experimenting with 1s-inch torpedoes
with speed of thirty knots and a radius
of 1000 yards
A prominent naval officer said tonight
that the Japanese are using the heaviest
torpedo charges which have been tested by
the British admiralty, and that an explo-
sion like that officially reported by the le-

STA for the defense of the sovereignty of
the Korean and Chinese empires, would
Hgiously respect that sovereignty IL she
were victorious. He added:
I'VE pledge ourselves to the maintenance
of the open door wherever the fortunes of
war clothe us with ascendancy in the far
east / find commercial Germany exploit
ing the bugbear that If we humble Russia
we shall proceed to slam the open door in
the face of Europe and America and hoist
the banner of Asia for the Asiatics. Japan
has such intention.
1T is fundamentally opposed to our ma
tional ambition TO rank world power
in the general sense of the term. The idea
that Japan plans the organization of the
yellow race for the purpose of crushing
white power In Asia is a ridiculous fam
tasy. Whoever permits himself to be
frightened by the yellow peril is ignorant
of the gulf separating the Japanese and
the Chinese peoples.
.China, indeed. regards the Japanese as
traditional enemies. and the attitude Of
China at this hour most disturbs Japan. /
fear China will find 1t difficult to maintain
internal order in the neighborhood of the
fighting zone"
NJ Kurino added that Japanese finances
We're never in better condition than now,
and that unless the war lasted a long time
Japan would not need to seek foreign
loan.
Russians to Use Chinese for Guard.
A cablegram from Tien Tsin last night
says:
Vieeroy Yuan-Shi-Kai. oommander-in-
chief of the Chinese army and navy. has
obtained permission from the diplomatic
corps to move troops north of Shan-Hai-
Kwan into Manchuria.
1t is expected that twenty trains will be
needed to carry the. first detachment OF
troops which will move at once.
This important news indicates the Rus
slams are willing to trust the Chinese to
be neutral. The Chinese ordered into Man
churia can, if they please, guard the sec
ton of the railway between Newchwang
and Shan-Hai-Kwan
Russia recognizes China's sovereignty in
Manchuria. But should neutrality be in
fringed she has declared the most serious
international consequences would follow.
The significant statement from st. Peters
burg that Japanese bandits" are preparing
to attack the railroad may account for this
precaution on Russas part.

and cheers from the spectators his majesty
made a speech to the departing soldiers,
in which he said:

that you will all uphold the honor of your
ancient regiment and readily risk your lives
for your dear fatherland.

Chinese Troops to Preserve Order.
A dispatch has been received at st. Pc
tersburg from Major General Plug, chief of
staff to viceroy Alexieff, that Yuan Sha
Kai ommander-in-chief of the Chinese
army and navy has ordered $500 men to
Tsin Chou to maintain order. Continuing,
he says everything is quiet at Niuchwang
and that the information that the japanese
are forming bands of chun-chus (bandits) to
attack the railroad is confirmed. Quiet
prevails on the Yalu. Russian scouts did
not find the enemy With ma distance of
thirty-four miles from the river.
