kUROPATklN EXPECTS VICTORY.
Believes He Will Wipe Out Japan's
Army Inside of a Year.

Paris, March 16.-The st. Peters,
burg correspondent of the Echo de
Paris says that rumors to the effect
that the Vladivostok and Port Arthur
sGuadrons have been united are re-
ceived with incredulity by the general
staff. The correspondent believes that
the rumors are probably due to Vice
Admiral Makaroffs frequent sorties.
He says that General Zahlinski is
now Viceroy Alexieff's chief of staff
and is acting under his orders in sue
cession to General Plug.
"There was an error in the transmits
sion of my dispatch Of March H." adds
the correspondent, (which attributed
to General Kuropatkin the statement
that he hoped to finish with the Japa-
nese before the end of July. What he
really said was: I do not know
whether any great action will occur
before July, but hope to finish before
the end of the year and leave the field
clear to the plenipotentiaries entrust-
ed with the drawing up of the condi-
tions of peace.'"

WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
Rumors That Russians Are Abandon
ina Port Arthur.

lnQ Fort Aftnuf.
st. Petersburg, March 16.-From the
highest official quarter information has
been obtained that there is absolutely
no foundation for the rumors persist
emily sent out from Toxic that the
Russians are abandoning Port Arthur.
1T is the veriest nonsense" said an
official here. Nothing has occurred
there to warrant such reports. The
Japanese fleet has not been seen for
forty-eight hours. The motive of the
government at Toxic in spreading this
story is probably to influence public
feeling in Japan for the purpose of
creating enthusiasm while a war loan
is being floated."
The newspapers here manifest the
greatest indignation over the report,
the Boerse Gazette characterizing it
as outrageous and a British invention.
Attention is redirected to the order of
the day issued by Lieutenant General
Stoessel, commander at Port Arthur,
in which he declared that that place
would never be surrendered, because
it represented the Russian position.
Relative to this point a military officer
said:
"This mere statement carries it's
own refutation, unless we meant to
beat an ignoble retreat all along the
line. If we abandon Port Arthur we
leave our fleet there to be doomed. It
is too absurd to discuss

fleet has evaded the Japanese fleet
and is now on the open sea. News of
a great naval battle is hourly expected.

torneys have had an opportunity to
advise us as to our course of proce-
dure the officers of the company can
make no further announcement than
to declare their purpose to promptly

Northern Securities company of Can
ada was to be the successor of the

ment was given out.

st. Petersburg,' March 16.-General
Kuropatl1in expects to reach Mukden
March &c. Everything will be side
tracked in order to get him to the
front on schedule time The general
may proceed on a flying visit to Port
Arthur, but he is more likely to enter
at once upon his duties as commander
in-chief of the Manchurian army. He
bears an autograph letter from the
emperor to Viceroy Alexieff, to whom
he will report. It is understood that
the viceroy then will turn over the en-
tire direction of the land operations to
General Kuropatkin, who will transmit
his reports to the emperor through the
viceroy, but practically this is the only
point on which Viceroy Alexieff will
maintain superiority.
General Kuropatkin had his plan Of
campaign practically perfected before
he left here for the far East He re-
turned to st. Petersburg quietly from
his country seat and devoted four days
to the elaboration of his plans in con-
junction with his staff
A superstitious idea prevails here
that General Kuropatkin will signalize
his birthday, which occurs on March
81, and which is also his patron saints
day, with some important act.

Against 2. p. G s. w. R. R. In Favor
 of Kelly.
 The Ei Paso Herald says: By the civil court of appeals the default juds- ment granted by Judge Goggin in favor of F. R. Kelly against the Fl Paso & Southwestern Railway company, has been affirmed. When Kelly brought suit for damages for personal injuries, the attorneys for the railroad failed to file answer to the charges made by Kelly within the required lime, and Kclly's attorney moved that judgment be granted by default Judge GOggin granted judgment for S9OOO against the railroad company.
 When the attorneys for the road learned of this outcome of the suit, they immediately moved that the Judg- ment be set aside. Upon Judge Cog gins refusal to do so, the case was appealed to the higher court. with the result which has just been learned.
