RUSSIA IN NO HURRY
TO END THE WAR.
Thinks She Can Extsrmlnate the Japan.
ese In Five Years.

Toxic, April 5.--Con6rmation reached
here today of the report that the Japanese
had entered Wiju, on the southern bank
OF the Yalu River. Coreans residing in
Wju informed the Japanese tina. the Rue
SLAMS on the upper reaches of the Yalu
consist Of but small parties. This infor-
nation also tends to confirm the report
that the Russians have left Corean soil and
retired across the Yalu line into Manchu-
ria. Reports from apostolic Wears in
Corea and Manchuria have been received
by the Propaganda and say that Russia is
in no hurry, but is preparing for FIVE
years struggle. In that time she thinks
she can exterminate the japanese.
The remains of Commander Hiroee
Takeo, the officer who lost his life during
the sixth bombardment of Port Arthur on
March 20, and whose heroic but vain
effort to save the life of a sailor cost him
his own, arrived at Toxic today. The
moving Of the funeral cortege through the
streets was most impressive. The body
was escorted by marines who participated
in the fight. The men wore their blood.
stained uniforms as mute testimonials of
the awful experience through which they
passed in endeavoring to bottle up the
Russian vessels at Port Arthur.

HEARST SUSTAINED
United States Supreme Court Decides
AuaInst Coal People

Washington, April 4.-The case OF the
interstate commerce commission against
Baird, commonly known as the anthracite
coal case was decided by the supreme
court of the United States today in favor
of the contentious of the commission, the
decision of the United States circuit court
for the southern district of New York be-
ing reversed. This is the case instituted
before the commission by W. r. Hearst,
of New York, who alleged determination
by the railroad companies which reached
the anthracite coal mines in Pennsylvania.
During the hearing some Of the witnesses
refused to produce certain contracts bear
ing upon the business of the railroad COM
panies and the coal mines which action
was upheld by the circuit court OF New
York. The United States supreme court
held that the contracts should have been
supplied. The opinion was handed down
by Justice Day.
After deciding the question of jurisdic'
ton in favor of the complainant, Justice
Day in his decision considered the coal
purchase contracts. These contracts we're
made with coal companies owned princl'
pally by the railroad companies, and fixed
the price of anthracite coal, shipments to
be made as called for by the purchasers.
While the contracts we're produced for in
spection the witnt sses refused to permit
them to be given in evidence. In passing
upon this point Justice Day said;
''The railroads are all engaged in inter-
state commerce, and into their affairs and
methods OF doing business the commission
sought to and Is lawfully authorized by
the commerce act to make investigation.
The commission has the right to know
how interstate traffic is conducted, the re-
lations between the carrier and its ship
pers and the rates charged and collected.
We see no reason why contracts of this
character, which have direct relation to a
large amount of carrying trade, can be
withheld from examination as evidence by
the commission"
AS to the Temple Iron Company con-
tracts the court said -.
''It is argued that these contracts, Il
given IN evidence, will tend to show
pooling of freight in violation of the fifth
section of the commerce act. While thil
testimony may not establish such an ar
raneement it has in our opinion a legltl
mate bearing upon the question. There
a division of freight among several rail
roads whereby agreement or otherwise
the companies have common interest ii
the source from which it is obtained. Fur
thermore, we think the testimony compe
tent as bearing upon the matter in whicl
transportation rates are fixed, in view o
determining the question of reasonable
ness of rates into which the commission
b has a right to inquire. To unreasonable.
hamper the commission by narrowing tn
field of inquiry beyond the requirement.
of the due protection of the rights OF tn
decision will be to seriously impair its use
fulness ald prevent realization Of th
salutsry purposes for which 1t was estab
lishe1 by Congress"
Justice Brewer dissented but did not de
liver an opinion,

ADVENT OF FIRST STREET
RAILWAY IN PHILADELPHIA
FIftleth Anniversary Celebrated Yester-
day-PhenomenaI Growth Of the
Business.

Philadelphia, April 4.-The fiftieth an
niversary of the first street railway in
Philadelphia, and practically the first
line of any extent established in the coun'
try, was celebrated today, 1t was on
April 4, 1854, that the Philadelphia and
Delaware River Railroad was chartered.
The road began with very small capital
1t was equipped with ten dummy engines
and a few horses and mules. About three
miles of track were operated and less than
100 men employed. The NUMBER Of pas
sengers carried was very small
The extent and business of the road de-
veloped rapidly, however, and its present
day successor, the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company, represents more than
$lOO, ,OOO, 900 of capital. 1t operates more
than 1000 cars, which run over 500 miles
of track. 1t employs nearly 5000 men
and carries about 375, 900 passengers every
wear. Moreover, the group Of capitalists
who own the company control fully one
third Of the mileage and capital OF every
street railway in the United States.

Paris, April 4.-TEe St. Petersburg cor
respondent of the Echo De Paris tele'
graphs as follows:
"Rumors are current IN high circles OF
fresh dissensons between Viceroy Alexieff
and General Kuropatkin. 1t is alleged
that the viceroy wants his views on the
subject OF the quickest way Of Kidding the
country of Japanese adopted, whereas
General Kuropatkin insists on retaining
sole responsibility for the conception and
execution of military operations.
"There is reason to believe that General
Kuropatkin will be left free, Viceroy Alex
Jeff being too judicious to create trouble
on account of a mere supposed slight"

Washington, April 5.-Argument in the
suffrage case of William S. Selden and
others vs. Governor Montague of the State
Of Virginia, was continued in the United
States Supreme Court today by Attorney
General Anderson and F. w. Christian,

ceeding.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1904-04-07
CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS.

Mr.. Anderson dealt especially with the
constitutional questions involved, arguing
that as the suffrage provision makes no
discrimination on account of race, color
or previous condition of servtude, 1t does
not conflict with the fifteenth amendment,
and that when that amendment is not
violated each State has an unquestionable
right to regulate its own electorate.
Mr.. Christian confined himself largely
to the presentation of the question of ju'
risdlction, holding that the procedure was
not such that it was competent for Fed
eral Court to act.

JAPANESE ARMY NOW
NUMBERS 100000.
This Force viii Be Divided Up Into
Three Parts.

Shanghai, April A letter received
here from Kobe, Japan, says the Japan
ese Government has 260, 900 troops in mo-
ton and fully 10000 more under arms in
garrisons and at the depots. These mum.
bers are1nxclusive of the third reserves,
numben 10000 which nave not been
called to the colOrs. The exact number of
troops which have left Japan for their
various destinations are not known, but
the entire first army has been landed and
has established itself in Northwestern
Korea, with it's main at Chinampho.
OPERATE THREE ARMIES.
The Japanese general staff still carefully
guards the plan of campaign, but it is
generally believed that it will operate
three armies, each nominally numbering
100000 men, the second army landing
west of the Yalu RIVER and the third army
east of New Chwang. The landings oI
the latter two armies will be easily accom-
plished, for the light cruiser squadrons can
protect both movements.
1t is thought that the landing OF
heavy Japanese force west of the mouth
| of the Yalu, will force the Russians tc
abandon the Notifications which they
have been erecting north of the Yalu FOL
the purpose of opposing the crossing o
the fret army of Japan from Korea.
1t is also anticipated that the three
great Japanese forces will operate in con
junction, the third army swinging east
ward from New Chwang, seizing or cut
ting the railroad and then engaging in
turning movement against the main Rus
sian position.
