RUSSIANS FEAR CHINA.

London, March 22.-A number of
rumors are printed in the newspc-
pers here this morning, but they
must be accepted with great reserve.
The Daily Telegraph's Toxic cor
respondent cables newspaper report
of the japanese occupation of Port
Arthur after combined land and sea
attack Saturday and Sunday. 1t is
asserted that a division of japanese
landed on the Lao Tung peninsula
Saturday and engaged the Russians
near Port Arthur while the feet bonn
barded from Saturday evening until
Sunday morning.
The same correspondent reports a
sharp encounter at Chyong Syong,
ION the Yalu river, about so miles
northeast of WIFI in which the Rus
slams lost 600 in killed or wounded.
The Daily Chronicles Shanghai cor
respondent hears from New Chwang
that the japanese crossed Tatung
Pass, 40 miles from Hal Cheng, and
that collisions occurred with the
Russians.

INCIDENTS OF THE WAR
BETWEEN RUSSIA AND JAPAN

belief that the question as to whether
China will observe her neutrality un-
| dertakings will depend largely on the
| result of the first heavy land fighting.
| \ big victory by the Russian army, it
is believed, will insure the quiescence
of the Celestial Empire, but there are
grave fears as to what might happen
in the event of Il signal Japanese sue
cess in the early stages of the land
| operations.
The recent naval success Fof the
japanese has not greatly impressed
| the Chinese, but if the Russians
should sustain really disastr de-
feat on land the Chinese might sud-
denly be aroused, whether with the
connivance or even with the consent
of the Japanese, against Russia and
| perhaps against all foreigners.
Russia's present plans are based on
| the appreciation of the supreme inn
| portance of the first land battle, and
no fighting on large scale will take
place, if it possibly can be avoided,
until the Russians feel morally GER
tain that they can deal the enemy a
crushing blow.
The Novoe Nremya publishes prom
inently a Paris dispatch declaring it
is believed there that triple alliance
between Japan. China and Korea has
been formed, which was the real OBJ
jet of Marquis lto's visit to Seoul.
! Gen. Zhilinski's official confirmation
of the reports that the Russian out
posts abandoned Anju upon the. ap-
proach of the Japanese in force
causes no surprise here as such ac-
ton is in perfect accord with the Rus
sian plan of action. The Russian
skirmishing and advanced posts were
| thrown forward solely for the pur-
pose of hara ssing the Japanese out
posts, falling back as the main body
moves forward until the strong posi-
| tionS at the Galu river are reached.
The 30 miles of country between Anju
and the Ialu are very difficult for the
movement of large force.
Irkutsk, Siberia, March 22.-Eigh-
teen trains bearing goods of the Red
| Cross Society have been held up to
allow military trains TO go through.
1t is estimated that 1000 men are
reaching Manchuria daily.
| Paris. March 22.-The Russian or
der stopping entry into New Chwang
| NlVloul permit Is uidclSiOou mere
to be military precaution due to the
uncertainty as to which of five places
the Japanese will choose for their
fs.,t extensive land operations. The
i've points are the Yalu river, New
| Chwang, Port Arthur, Nladivostols
and Pigeon Bay. The Russians being
unable to determine where Japan
will make her main attack, are max
ing preparations and taking precau-
| tions at all five points.

Made a New Record,

Washington, March 22.-In letter
received at the navy department from
an officer OH board the Kearsarge
the following remarkable record
made by that battleship in her target
practice just completed at Pensa-
cola is given: One 13-inch gun made
six hits out of seven shots in min
utes and 20 seconds. An eight-inch
gun made ten hits out of ten shots
in ) minutes and 90 seconds and a
five-inch gun made is hits out of IS
shots in two minutes. At the navy
department this record was declared
to be the best ever made by an Amer
lean warship and as far as the officials
know it has not been equalled in any
foreign navy.

JAPS NOT GUILTY OF USING
FORBIDDEN EXPLOSIVES

st. Petersburg, March 1S.-The
charges against the Japanese of vio-
lating the rules of civilized warfare
i'll using explosives forbidden by The
Hague convention find no echo in re-
sponsible circles here. The Japanese
are acquitted on that score by high
naval officer who said yesterday:
THE accusation against the Japan
csc of using explosives to produce
poisonous gases is based on a mis-
conception. They are employing the
same explosives as other armies and
navies. 1t is notorious that the burst
ing of melinite shell between decks
generates fumes from which the men
are liable to asphyXiation, but the
Russian shell is no better and no
worse than that used by the
Japanese. We have not complained
In this respect, whatever we may
think about the manner in which
Japan began hostilities.'
The Chinese legation here has as
sured the Associated Press most posi-
lively that the government at Pekin
intends not only to observe the
strictest neutrality during the war
'>S'' NNi' iN'''F''h anu PuiIf pub
the government thoroughly realizes
the danger threatening the integrity
of the Celestial Empire in case it
should become embroiled in the con-
flict.
The first headquarters of the Man
churian army after Gen. Kuropatkin's
arrival will be at Liao-Yang.
Che Foo, March 1S.-While enter

of the damage done to Port Arthur
during the bombardment of the 10th.
He says the story of a great fire there
is IA base fabrication"
London, March 1S.-The correspon-
dent of the Daily Mail at Che Foo,
who has just visited Chinampo, Korea.
says:
son the way to Chemulpo we pass
ed a constant succession of Japanese
transports. Three thousand Japan
ese landed at Chemulpo at the end of
last week"
The Daily Telegraph's Toxic cor
respondent asserts that the Russian
fleet has returned to Port Arthur.

Tea shlpmenss to Russia Suspended.

MOSCOW, March 2l.-Owing 10 The
discontinuance of the. trips of the
volunteer feet no tea is coming from
Ccylon by water. The practical sus-
pension of freight trains over the
trans-Siberian railroad makes il al
most impossible to get tea from
China. One merchant who has 10000
chests of tea Ell route in Manchuria
offers to sell it at nominal price
to the government for the use of the
soldiers. Because of the difficulty in
delivery-here the merchants have de-
cided as last resort to return to the
old Mongolian caravan route.

A Warming TO the Suitan.

Constant:nople, March 21.--The
Russian and Austrian embassies yes
terday renewed their pressure upon

Austro-Russlan scheme of reform in

pointed out that the counter pro-
posals of the porte made on March
II, which objected to the placing of
foreign officers in command of the
gendarmerie in Macedonia, did not
tally with Turkeys original accept
ance of tho reform scheme. The note
warned tho porte of the grave conse-
quences that would follow any fur

PEOPLE OF PORT ARTHUR
USED TO BOMBARDMENTS

st. Petersburg, March ia cor
respondent of the Associat ted Press
who has just visited Port Arthur,
telegraphs from Mukden as follows:
despite the various bombardments
at Port Arthur the external appear
ance of the city remains unchanged,
although the enemy fired an cnor-
nous number of projectiles. The bat
tleships and cruisers bear marks Of
the fighting.
six hours of firing by the heaviest
guns during the last bombardment
but cost few lives. The husband
and child of the Baroness Frank, who
was decapitated by fragments of
shell flying in through the window,
were unframed.
THE enemy in endeavoring to
stand as far as possible outside the
range of the Russian batteries rem
dered their own fire ineffective. The
people are getting used to the bonn
bardments and the japanese squad
ron cruising in the offing causes little
alarm. Occupations are resuming
their wonted course and many stores
have been reopened
The land defenses are being
strengthened every day and the
troops are eager to fight. During the
engagement between the Russian and
Japanese torpedo boat destroyers
the boats came into very close quar-
ters, being within only few fathoms'
length of each other. A torpedo from
the Russian destroyer Vlastini tore
off the stern of one of the enemy's
destroyers, her captain standing on
the bridge as she sank"

A Lion starves Himself.

st. Louis, March ia lion is
starving itself to death in a zoologi-
cal exhibit headquarters here because
it's mate was taken away last Mon
day. Since then the lion has refused
all food and all day and night has
kept walking around the cage in a
ceaseless vigil, occasionally giving
vent to low growl. The carcass of
an OK, killed but few minutes be-
fore was refused by the lion yester-
day, the beast simply walking over
the carcass and through the blood,
apparently without notice. The mate
was taken to Canadian geological
Tarden.

SAID TO
BE ALMOST TIMPREGNABLE

London, March 21.-Nothing has
reached here to confirm the report
that n battle has taken place on the
Galu in which the Russians are al
legged to have captured 1,S00 pris-
oners.
/ a dispatch from st. Petersburg
dated yesterday says there has been
no change in the situation and that
all is quiet on both land and sea. Be-
tween the Russian line from Ping
! Yang to the Yalu river and the Jap
anese line to Gensan there have
been slight skirmishes between
scouts, but no battle has taken place.
Victoria, b. c., March 2l.-The
steamer Shawmut arrived Sunday
from Manila, via China and Japan.
Among the passengers were Angus
tus Libby and Cornelius Hoff, Jewish
merchants of Nladivostok, who re-
ceived ~ hours notice from the mill
tary authorities to leave the country.
Messrs. Libby and Hotf say that
the winter at Nladivostok has been
exceptionally mild.
The whole sea front of Nladivostok
is a network of submarine mines.
Since the outbreak of the war very
few vessels have entered the harbor
from the south, owing to the fear of
Japanese commerce destroyers. The
Russians appeared to be greatly an
noyed when it was learned that the
railway between Vladivostok and
| Harbin had been torn up and the
! bridges dynamited.
The Shawmut encountered Japan
ese torpedo boats and destroyers
hundreds of miles out at sea. and
J these vessels are evidently keeping a
! strict watch on commerce.
| Toxic. March 21.-With stately
ceremony the session of parliament
convened to provide the money need
ed to wage the war against Russia,
was opened yesterday. The emperor
rode in the great state coach to the
/ parliament house and personally
read his address to the peers and
commoners.
Paris. March 21.-The Russian EN-
bassy has received from st. Peters
burg and has handed to Foreign Min
| lister DelcaSse for transmission to the
French minister at Toxic, who is en-
trusted with the protection of Rus
sian interests in Japan, n protest
against an alleged infraction of the
laws of war. 1t appears that duriag
the attack on Port Arthur March 10
the japanese fired over 80 projectiles
at the quarantine station on the
island of San-Shan-Tao, resulting in
the injury of numerous persons.
New Chwang, March 2l.-The for
eign consuls yesterday officially noti,
fled their governments that the Rus
sian commander of the garrison has
forbidden foreigners to go beyond
the mud walls of the native city. with
the single exception that they are al,
| lowed to use the river bank between
the foreign settlement and the fer.

Every great disaster has its com
pensations, and the horror of the IrO-
quois theatre fire has brought some
good results. Theatre -goer realize
that but for the panic which ensued
in the Chicago playhouse, hundreds
of lives would have been spared. The
result has been to impress upon the
public mind the necessity Of acting
with judgment under such trying con-
ditiOns. At Procter's theatre in New
York City the other night fire broke
out, and In q short time the tneater
full OF smoke, and the stage a
mass OF flames. The audience refus-
ed to become panic~stricken. Exits
promptly opened, policemen
and firemen pointed the way, and in
than six minutes 100 people
had marched out of the theater and
away from the danger zone. So cool
" did the people act that moi q wrap
was found in the theater after the
flames were subdned. and only one
woman's hat was found. Had the aud
lence become panicsstricken many
deaths would have been the rfsuH.
