st. Petersburg, March 9.-The undo
fined misgivings existing in very high
quarters here regarding the ultimate aims
and purposes of the foreign policy OF the
United States were voiced in the following
remarkable statement to the Associated

(By the Associated Press.)

Springfield, O., March 10.-The race dis
turbances which have terrorized the town
for the last three days as the result OF the
murder of Patrolman Coils and the sub
seQuent lynching of the negro Dixon, who
shot Coils, are held well in check by the
thirteen companies Of State militia. and
the authorities are of the opinion at nine
0 clock tonight that no more troops will
be needed to control the situation.
Both Chief of Police O'Brien and Sheriff
Routsahn believe however, that it would
be mistake materially to decrease the
number of troops now on hand. There
are unmistakabe signs that there is an
ugly feeling on the part OF the men and
the boys who have composed the mobs OF
the last three days and the authorities
realize that the shooting of either white
man or negro, or even a street fight be-
tween men OF opposite races would be suit
ficient to start the mob again on killing
and burning expedition.
This evening the police arrested a ne
gro claiming Cincinnati as his home and
giving Y. w. Smith as his name. He was
accompanied by several strange negroes,
and wherever they could gain an audience
of one or more negroes on the street,
they read a highly iniammatory type
written paper urging the negroes TO
avenge the lynching of Dixon and to
apply the torch to the white business and
residence districts in retaliation for the
burning of the negro quarters on the
Levee. The police, however, do not fear
trouble from the native negro, as this
portion of the colored population has been
prompt oil day to keep the police IN
touch with any signs of an uprising on
the part Of the strange negroes
In the opinion of City Solicitor Tatum,
neither the city nor county can be held
responsible for the burning OF the lovec
district by the mob. 1t is an admitted
fact that. While public sentiment is
against the means employed to put the
negro out of the way there is universal
rejoicing that he is dead and it is real
lied that it will be extremely difficult to
secure jury that will assess more than
nominal damages if any at all While
81 ecial grand jury Will sit Monday to M
vestigate the lynching it is thought that
it will be impossible to indict either the
leaders of the mob which did the lynch
ng or the subsequent burning.
An immense throng OF people was in
and about st. Raphaels church today to
attend the funeral service of Charles Col
lis, the murdered policeman. The best
order prevailed and Father BucKlcy's ser
mon made no reference TO the way in
which Coils met his death.

IN THE RUSSIAN REAR?
This Looks as If Japan Has Again

~
London, March -(Thursday.)-N
further news has reached London of the
reported fighting at Port Arthur, or OF
the fate OF the Russian vlsdvostock
squadron. Up to a late hour last night
the Japanese legation here had heard
nothing OF the reported occurrences but
it is considered significant that none of
the Russian official dispatches make any
mention of the Vladivostock cruisers.
The news from Washington of the ap
pearances of Japanese forces at Flung
Wang Chang, about forty-fiyc miles north
west OF Antung, in Manchuria, and fash
an, a few miles inland from the mouth
OF the Yalu river, is regarded as most
important.
According to the Tien Tsin correspond
ent of the Daily Telegraph, the Japanese
advanced from the Yalu river, captured
Flung Wang Chang and drove out the Rus
slams in the vicinity of the TaKu-Line
eastern pass and are in force seventy
miles cast of New Chwang. The Russians
with 81, 900 men, are entrenched strongly
at Lao Yang and Hal Cheng, where fight
irg is imminent. Some small engagements
already have been fought, the Russians
retiring with losses.

Homeless, Destroys ST 100000.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 9.-The city of
Wilkesbarre and the Wyoming Valley
was in a turmoil today. The mighty flow
Of water spread out north and south, east
and west, making the north branch of the
Susquehanna river a vast, maddened
coarslng lake, sweeping in its path what
ever there was to invade, and the scene
was even more terrifying than on Tues
day.
At Plymouth the entire business sec.
ton OF the town is under water Only
a few business houses escaped the flood
and as a result the merchants have lost
thousands of dollars worth of goods. The
ice is gorgcd there and the water backed
up so rapidly this afternoon that many
families found it impossible to leave their
homes, and are living on the upper floors.
Over million dollars worth of property
has been destroyed in the Wyoming Val
ley and over 2,000 families rendered home
less.
Though the river is falling at Wilkes
barre tonight, towns in the vicinity Of
bloomsbury arc experiencing the worst
flood in their history. Three spans OF
| the steel bridge erected by the State al
Catawissa were swept from their piers
early IN the Afternoon, and carried 400
ysrds by the ice and this evening Tho
two remaining spans collapsed.
| Mill street, at Danville. the business
thoroughfare of that city is under water
tonight for its whole length, more than {
mile. The ice moved at Danville earl.
in the afternoon and carried the grea
covered river bridge from its piers. Th'
water-works at Danvillc are under watc
and the city is without electric light am
gas. Two hundred families have beer
forced TO leave their homes.

Springfield, o., March 9.-The situation
early this evening was considered by the
orities to be more threatening than

Ten companies of Ohio National
are on picket duty and seven moro
mics are expected The saloons with
Exception have been closed all after
and many other lines of business
practically ceased. 1t is estimated
that fully $4,000 people thronged the
streets today, visiting the county Jail, the
telegraph pole at Main and Fountain
Avenue, where the negro Dixon was
strung up and the burned out districts OF
the Levee.
AS the result of repeated requests from
influential citizens Mayor Bowlus has fl.
nally consented not only to close the re-
manning negro saloons, hotels and lodging
houses, which are UNDER the ban of the
mob, but has ordered the propretors IN
every instance to move out all the intoX-
icating drinks and in some cases even the
fixtures, including gambling apparatus.
Mayor Bowlus today issued proclama-
tion warning people to keep off the
streets and refrain from congregating in
public places.
The mob has at no time shown any dis
position to burn property other than on
the Levee.
The Kentucky relatives of Dixon, the
lynched negro, have already engaged in a
dispute as to which of them should come
into possession of his body.
Rev. j. B. Frazier, Of Harrodsburg, &
brother-in-law of Dixon, has been active
in his demands to have final disposition
of the corpse.
At II p. m. the militia had dispersed the
crowds in the central part of the city, but
it was feared they would form elsewhere
for later movements. While there arc
$4,000 negroes in this city none was seer

the negro, to Kentucky, his remains were
privately inferred here this evening. The
order for saloons to remain closed is oh
served, but no attention is paid to the
mayors proclamation for the people to
keep from congregatiHg or remaining off
the streets.
The colored people here now are afraid
to be seen getting kilograms or mail.
When the west end of the Levee was
cleaned out today no white man would
work with moving vans and no white man
would accept the goods in storage. The
