the declaration OF martial law al New
chwang, an official Of the foreign of
fee is thus quoted by the Novosti:
There is no question of Russia's
right to declare Newchwang in a state
of siege. This is purely an internal
Russian affair. We need no approval
of our actions in this matter. nor will
we notice any protests n made, which
is highly improbable Manchuria was
declared to be the possible scene Of
war, and wherever our troops are we
have the right to act as we think best.
We have garrison at Newchwang.
and, consequently, can take any steps
there we think necessary"

These numbers are exclusive Of tht

colors. The exact numbers of troops
which have left Japan for their vari
GUS destinations are not known, bu
the entire first army has been landed
and has established itself in North
western Korea, with its main base al
Chinnampho. The Japanese genera
staff still carefully guards the plan OF
campaign. but it is generally believed
that 1t Will operate three armies, each
nominally numbering 100000 men, the
second army landing west OF the 1alu
river and the third army east OF New
chwang. The landings OF the latter
two armies will be easily accomplished
tor the light cruiser squadrons can pro
tect both movements.
1t is thought that the landing of a
heavy Japanese force west OF the
mouth of the Yalu will force the Rus
SLAMS to abandon the fortihcations
which they have been erecting rorth
OF the Gaiu for the purpose Of oppos-
ing the crossing Of the first army OF
Japan from Korea.
1t is also announced that three
great Japanese forces will operate in
conjunction, the third army swinging
eastward from Newchwang, seizing or
cutting the railroad. and then engag-
Ing In turning movement against the
main Russian position. The Japanese
are confident that the Russians will
be unable TO transport supplies suffi-
cient to maintain in Manchuria force
larger than 100000 men. The heavy
detachment necessary to guard the
railroad and supply bases will, Il is
claimed, reduce the Russian fighting
force to about 2On.000 men The Jap
anese are requisitioning thousands OF
horses and II Is probable that q con-
siderable detachment of cavalry will

SCHEME OF DISTRIBUTION
AFFECTS PRICES.
FLUCTUATIONS DECIDEDLY CONFUSING
GENERAL DOWNWARD TENDENCY
AS RESULT or HARRIMANS
HOSTILE MOVE.

New York, April 5-The petition by
Northern Securities plan of distribu-
tion unsettled the stock market and
caused feverish fluctuations
These seemed due to puzzled efforts
on the part of professional Eaders to
find the market without any clear idea
of the actual effect of the news on
values. The only fact left clear was
that the suppositions on which they
have traded for two weeks We're un-
founded. Their conflicting efforts to
retrieve probable mistakes caused a
very confused price movement, but
the undertone was weak on account of
the apparent hostility between great
groups of capitalists. Union Pacific
opened rs higher and then receded
as much below that level st. Paul
broke 212 on the opening sale and re-
Pacific was running off. Losses ran
to a point in a number of railroad
stocks and specialties and prices ran
downwards and upwards in a hesitat-
ing manner.
me neaFt demand developed lot
Union Pacific revived the impression
of buying for control of that property
as an Offset to the contest over North
ern Pacific control. The sentiment in
the stock market was nervous and ap-
prehensive in consequence of this in
dication and prices fluctuated in very
hesitating manner throughout the day.
On the curb Northern Securities
opened at So. a decline of points,
sold off to 97A then back TO 9S.
Aside from the sale of an odd lot Of
Great Northern there was no business
in that stock, nor in Northern Pacific

JAPs DID LITTLE DAMAGE.
Conditions at Port Arthur Said to Be
Satisfactory.

Tientsin, April 5.--It is stated that
Viceroy Alexieif, who for the past four
days has been at Port Arthur on a
visit of inspection, has found every
thing highly satisfactory. The dam.
age done by the commandments of the
Japanese fleet is said to have been in
significant. Viceroy Alexieff will re-
turn to Mukden shortly.
The coal sales of the Haipinv Min
Ing company for the last week show
q record of over $4,000 tons. which,
considering the existence of war, is
regarded as highly satisfactory.
II Is generally believed that the Jap
anese will not attack Newchwang. II
Is thought that their opportunity has
passed. The Russian forces are ready
and prepared 10 defend the place. The
task Of the Japanese, IL they should
be eventually successful, is becoming
daily more difficult.
