Nothing to Prevent Japan-
 csc Going NOrthwdrd
RETREAT OF RUSSIANS
Incidents Following Engagement at Cheng Ju a Week Ago - Russians, not Willing to Give up Port Arthur, Have Been Strengthening It.

Tokio, April 3.-The advance guard of the Japanese army in northwestern Korea occupied the town of Sengcheng yesterday afternoon without opposi- tion. Seng Cheng is on the Pekin road eighteen miles west of Cheng Ju and about forty miles south of Wiju.
 When the Japanese drove the Rus sians out of Cheng Ju last Monday, the Russians withdrew in two columns, one going over the Koak San road and the ether over the Pekin road. The Japanese advanced from Cheng Ju very rapidly. l was anticipated that the Russians would resist this advance but they failed to do so, and now it is not probable that there will be any further opposition south of the Yalu river.
 Cheng Ju, because of it's superior natural surroundings, is the strongest place between Ping Yang and Wiju. Besides these natural advantages there is an old Korean fort there, which, had it been defended with spirit.would have been hard to take. The Japanese are defended with spirit, would have been hard to take. The Japanese are satis- satisfied at the comparative ease with which they drove the Russians from this fort.
 Russian patrols are reported to be in the country east of the Pekin road, but it is not probable that they are there in any considerable force in that section. The patrols are withdrawing gradu- ally to the northward, toward the Yalu.
 It is reported that the ice on the Yalu river is well broken up and that in the future the river must be crossed either in junks or over pontocn bridges.
 A dispatch to the Associated Press from TOkio. dated April 1. said infor- nation has been received there from q private source that the Japanese, after dislodging their enemy at Cheng JU. had advanced to Yong Chun (about 4J miles west of Cheng Ju), from which place they also drove the Russians after brief engagement. It is pos sible that many different spellings in the gazeteers and on the maps has led to confusion, and that Zeng CheEg mentioned in the above message and Yong Chun referred to in the dispatch of April 1, should be the same place. The two towns. however, are quite dis tinct, being about twenty-five miles apart

gas had been accommodating under the floor for weeks. There were two thicknesses of the floor, and they were practically impervious, so that the gas banked up against it. There is a curi- ous circumstance that the lathing of the ceiling was blown downward, as if gas, too, had collected there.
 The doors of the saloon were open at the time of the explosion and they were saved; those of the cigar store were closed, and they were ruined by the uprising floor. The only thing that saved Valdivia ir the cigar store was a collection of empty cigar boxes which fell upon him first. They acted as a buffer for the heavier debris which overwhelmed him the next instant
 The street in front of the saloon was shot full of broken glass, and two win dows on the other side of the street were broken. The shock was felt throughout the neighborhood The horses of the fire department, more than a block away, ordinarily self controlled animals, were paralyzed with terror, and it was with some diffi- culty that they could be got ready to respond to the alarm.
 The chairs in Kane's barbershop were filled at the time of the expIo- sion. The proprietor of the shop broke for the rear. followed by his employees in rapid flight. When MT. Kane reaehed the outside he recovered from his pan ic, there having been no succeeding ex- plosions, and he returned to business. He was followed back by the rest of the barbers, in the order in which they fled. The occupants of the chairs must have been palsied by the shock, for they were still in the chairs, but immediately after the return of the barbers the panic reached them and they jumped from the chairs and fled into the street.
 AS soon as the last rumble of the shock had died away the proprietors of the ruined saloon and cigar store began to inquire who was going to pay for the fireworks. There was an in surance policy of $500 on the cigar store and S1,40O on the saloon, but there was nothing in the policies of either relating to this particular kin9 Of damage. The proprietors turned the matter over to their lawyers, who told them that probably they would have no other recourse than against the light and fuel company.
 It Was reported last nlSnt that the Palace, which has never been closed within the memory of any man now living, would be closed for the summer for repairs. Mir. Perkins, one of the proprietors, was asked about it. He made a deliberate survey of the wreck and saiG that ne thought that there would have to be some repairs. He added that how long the place would be closed would depend upon the extent of the Improvements to be made to the building, which is the property of General M. H. Sherman. A conference with a representative of his will be held today.
 Murphy. the bartender of the Palace on duty at the time of the explosion, said: T happened to be noticing the man from the gas company. I heard him say: I'll find it pretty damned -. I suppose he was going to say quick but the explosion was quicker"
 James Collins said: T heard the gas man say that he had cound the leak l went over to see what it looked like l had never seen a gas leak, and l haven't very definite idea of that one"

HOME MADE THINGS Exports of, Domestic Man.
 ufdCtmeS in February
A Growth of Four Million Dollars Compared With Exports for the Same Month of 1903.

Washington, D. C., April S.-Domes- tic manufactures exported in Febru- ary, 1904. were greater in value than in any preceding February, and form ed also a larger per cent. of the total exports than in any preceding Feb ruary. For the eight months end ing with February the total manu- factures also exceeded the total in the corresponding eight months of any earlier year. The fiscal year 1900 was the banner year in exports of manu- factures from the United States, but from present indications the fiscal year 1904 will show, an even larger total of $3S000,0O0 worth of manufactures ex
 ported, against $34, ,00O, 900 in 1900, while for the eight months ending with Feb ruary the total is $2SS, 100000, against SECS, COG, ,000 in the same months ending with February in 1900.
 These figures, which are presented by the department of commerce and labor through its bureau of statistics in it's publication entitled Advance Sheets from the Monthly Summary of Commerce and Finance" indicate pret- ty clearly that the fiscal year 1904 will show a larger total of manufactures exported than any preceding year. In the eight months for which a record is already made the total exceeds by 20, 000,0OO that of the highest record prev iously attained, that of 1900, while the fact that February, 1904, exceeds by 100000 the figures of February, 1900 also indicates that the increase noted in the earlier months of the year is continuing in the latest available months and thus likely to carry the years total considerably beyond that of 1900. Not only in the grand total of manufactured exports does February exceed that of the corresponding month in any preceding year, but the per centage which manufactures form of the total is also larger than in the same month of any earlier year, For February, 1904, manufactures formed 32.63 per cent. of the total exports of domestic products, while the largest percentage shown by any earlier Feb ruary was that of 1902, when fnanu- factures formed 31.S4 per cent. of the total exports. For the eight months ending with February the percentage which manufactured exports formed of the total is slightly less than in the

THIS IS REAL TREASON
Fun Has Been Made of the Colorado
 Hilitiamen.

Denver. April 3.-A special to the News from Trinidad, Colo, says that a clash occurred tonight between the soldiers of the regular army and the members of the state militia Two com panies of the Fifth cavalry, United States army, arrived in Trinidad today enroute overland to Fort Apache, AriZ. from Fort Logan. Several of their officers were entertained at din- ner by Major Hill. commanding the national guardsmen. During this time a number of the regulars came into the city on leave of absence. They came upon the night patrol of the militia and began hurling epithets at them. Captain Scholz, of the state guards. happened on the scene and ordered a sergeant to arrest enc of the most abusive of the regulars. The latter's companions prevented the sergeant from carrying out the orders, at the same time drawing their six shooters and surrounding the patrol.
 Scholz hurriedly dispatched Q mes senger to the cavalry officers, and Lieu tenant Mosely came quickly to the scene and ordered his men to their camp. They explained to him that they were just having a little fun with the militiamen. The matter will be in- vestigated and the guilty ones dealt with.

A Standing Still of Disasters, but thc
 Danger Not Yet Over.

Bellefontaine, Ohio, April 3.-The levees of the Lewiston reservoir al- though weak and insecure in many places, did not give way during last night, notwithstanding a wall of water three feet in height was whipped over the embankments by a strong north wind which blew throughout the en- tire night. Today the wind abated and the pressure of water against the levees was so greatly reduced that providing there is no more rain or wind during the next fortyeight hours the danger of a break will be at an end.

The Presque Isle Star-Herald says
that "the Bangor & Aroostook railroad
seems to be assured of having in the
year to come one of the busiest and
most prosperous years in it's history"
There is estimated to be at least twenty
five per cent. more potatoes in Aroos-
took county at the present time than
ever before at this season of the year
the yield in many cases is unprecedent-
ed and the crop free from shrinkage
caused by rot or any considerable per-
centage of small potatoes-and nearly
the entire crop will be shipped over the
B. & A. There is also large crop of
hay to be shipped, and the lumber bust
ness continues good, and with the in
creased facilities for manufacturing
which have been established during the
past year there will be large increase
in the shipment of lumber products. 1t
is entirely safe to predict that the al
ready large shipments from the Garden
of Maine will be greatly increased in
the near future. Much of the virgin
soil remains to be titled, vast forests
are untouched by the lumberman's ak,
and the number of manufacturing
plants must greatly increase. The ne
cessity for deep water outlet for the
B. & A. becomes increasingly evident,
and those in a position to know predict
that the road will be built to Cape Jel-
lison at no distant day

DIR. Harris Fortunate Experience of Special
Interest to Many in Belfast.
The happiest man in New England to-day
and one who is receiving congratulations
from his friends, is DIR. Philip T. Hart of
Laconia, N. II.
Probably no physician is better known in
all parts of the United States than DR..
Hart, as he has been great traveller and
knows the best people wherever he has
been. For years he has suffered with
catarrh in its worst form.
Although he resOrted to the latest scien-
tific treatment, and consulted many of his
brother physicians, DR.. Hart finally said,
81 might just as well have thrown my
money in the river, for l grew worse and
worse. It is really due to my wife'S good
judgment that tried Hyomei." The Doc
tor, in his emphatic way, added, 'Thank
God that ! did, for Hyomei cured me CON-
pletely. My wife and ! will swear that
HyOmei cured me of the worst case OF
catarrh that ever existed. l used to cough
constantly at night, and had a dropping in
the throat, which kept me awake great
deal. I raised thick .phlegm and was in a
horrible condition. However, am entire.
ly cured, solely through the use of Hyomei.' %

him to show you the strong guarantee under
which it is sold.

Bryan's 'whirlwind campaign" in
Indiana recalls an incident of life in
San Antonio, Texas, in ante bellum
days The mistress of a we'll known
boarding house had little colored boy
stand beside her chair and fan her dur
ing meals. He would begin vigorously,
then turn the fan to himself and go to
sleep as he stood, requiring vigorous
shake to bring him to sense of his
duty. Bryan began his campaign in In
MANA with vigorous speech in behalf
of Parker; but in succeeding speeches
he famed Bryan. 1t is now in order
for the National Democratic commit
tee to shake him.

1t appears that the Maine State Fair
Association is $40, 600 in debt, on which
it is paying per cent. interest, and that
the receipts this year were about 81, 500
less than the expenses. But for the un-
favorable weather on the closing days
it is thought that the fair might have
made expenses; as it was, the debt has
been increased to $21, 800. The Cover
nor and Council were asked to turn
over to the Association the 81, $50 ap-
propriated for the Bangor fair, in ad-
dition to its own appropriation of 49,
600. Governor Hill and the members
of the council, however, did not feel
that they had the authority to do this,
and could only recommend that the
Lewiston management come before the
next Legislature with its request. This
will doubtless be done.
