cruiser lying at anchor cables length
from the RetyiZan, probably the Di-

set on fire. The sailors declare that
eighty persons en- board perished. The
supply of food in Port Arthur is still
sufficient for the needs of the gar

issue daily rations. The Norwegians
insist that when they left the Russian

St. Petersburg. March 1S.-Gen Ku-

He is making very fast time, ayeYag
ing over 532 miles cay, everything
being sidetracked u get him to Muk-
den by March 26, the only stops, except
to change engines, being occasi 4aIlv
to inspect passing troop trains.
The first headquarters of the Man
churian army after Gen. Kuropatkin S
arrival will be at Lao Yang, the gen
eral having selected that point instead
of Mukden, whence to direct the oper-
atoms.
Lao Yang is ten miles west of the
railroad, being connected with the
main road by a special line. which
will be completed by the time Gen.
Kuropatkin arrives. 1t has MANY ad-
vantages over Mukden, being a point
from whence both the telegraph line
and the Pekin road go to the Yalu
river. Another road, not marked on
the maps, leads almost due east tc, an
extinct volcano, Paik-Tou-San, or
White mountain, whose crater is a
sacred lake. The road was built by
the Chinese, whose emperors formerly
went there to shoot tigers, with which
the region is infested. Liac. Yang
commands both the roads over when
troops will be sent, according to ne
cessltles, and has the advantage of
being nearer to the frontier of China
IN the event of punitive measures be-
ing required against the Chinese.
While the Russians are mobiizing
fcr the purpose of working out an Of
1enslve military problem, they will be
prepared to move heavy forces in any
direction to meet the Japanese, whose
command of the sea gives them great
freedom in selecting their points of
attack. If the Japanese land in force
on the coast of northern Korea, Gen
huropatkin will move his headuuart-
efs further north, along the railroad.

charged. The remaining twelve were

commended to the mercy of the court
by the jury. Sentence has not yet
been passed. The taking c'f testimony
having been completed Wednesday.
the trial was resumed yesterday morn
ing with the arguments of the attor-
neys.
In his charge to the jury Judge
Trieber said it is a question of wheth-
er man shall be permitted to en-
ploy whom he pleases to employ, or
whether he shall be compelled to en-
ploy those whom others with whom
he has no relations wish him to en-
plcy. 1t is question, said the court,
that strikes at the fundamental prin-
ciples of our government, that of the
right of every citizen, be he white or
black, to work for living, to engage
in the pursuit of happiness and live
lihood. It is a question of whether
right and law shall prevail or the un-
licensed mob. In continuation, Judge
Trieber dwelt upon what constitutes
conspiracy under the law, mstructing
the jury that in this case only two
things remained to be proven; first,
that a conspiracy had been formed be-
tween two or more of the defendants
to deprive the negrces of their posi-
tions; second, that this deprivation
was on account of their color.
At 12 O'Clock the charge was COM
pleted and the jury was conducted to
the jury room, where they remained
fur hours before reaching a verdict.
The men who were convicted seem to
have been ringleaders in the conspir-
ecy. Reub Hoges had been especially
conspicuous, as he acted as spokesman
for the mob
The general opinion is that the SEN
tence will be light one, the men be-
