There are now three senators who
were formerly secretaries Of war. They
are Proctor. Elkins and Alger. Should

secretary OF war in the senate. 1t is
rather remarkable that three men

senators. Root would no doubt find
the senatorial life congenial. although
il is said that he will not again leave
New York unless the whole nation
should call him to the presidency.

. Chi-fu, March 22.-The Japanese
campaign Is swiftly disclosing itself in
western Korea and the sudden move
ment of the army north since last
"wednesday has been revelation to
military men. AS If they dropped out
of the sky, three of the cruiser divi-
sion Of Togo's fleet appeared Sunday
afternoon off the islands west of Ka-
san, accompanied by twelve trans
ports. Where they came from is ut
ferly unknown to the army corre-
spondents at Chenampho, but the sud-
den movement Of this body was timed
exactly with the forward movement
of the troops Saturday from An-ju to
Cheng-ju, fifteen miles.
Before the first brigade was barely

Thus the Japanese in two days got
on both sides Of the valley toward the
Yalu, control the only roads thereto
and are ready to carry out the next
plan Of their secretive commanders.
The most timid Of the native Ko.

full that the Russians will attack.

New York, March 22.-The report
is current that the Northern Securities
company within a short time. will ap-
ply to- the circuit court of Minnesota
for an order permitting the company
to extend the period within which the
decision Of the supreme court may be
carried out for at least six months
and possibly: a year. It is said to be
the Intention of the company to ask
the circuit court to maintain the COM
pany's status as it existed prior to the
decision of the supreme court until
such time as a feasible plan can be
adopted. The point is made that the
company has no s plan at the
present time which IS can be put
into effect forthwith and that
the terms Of the decree are
exceedingly difficult to be carried out
within a short time. Hill and his as
sociate directors Of the Northern Sc
curities company are in receipt Of
various suggestions regarding the
proper manner of winding up the af-
! fairs of the: corporation. A pro-
among the holders of N orthern securi-
ties shares as to their prospective
rights. While large majority Of
these shares are held by the Morgan
Hill-Harriman interests, considerable
proportion of the stock has become
widely distributed.
While Hill and his associates are
waiting for advice of counsel, an eff
fort is being made in Wall street to
form a animation Of the smaller
holders of Northern Securities stock
with view to having q voice In the
future course Of action.
The idea is gaining ground in Wall
street that Northern Pacific stock will
not be turned back into the hands OF
persons who deposited it with the
holding company. Individual holders
of Northern Securities stock have sug-
gested that the assets of that company
4 be redistributed pro rata among al
Northern Securities stockholders.
If this method Of distribution II
adopted there will be wider diffusion
of Great Northern stock and a sig
nificant mixture of that stock WITT

st. Petersburg, March 22.-Feverish
activity prevails in naval circles here.
strengthen the Russian fleet in the far
east within a definite period. For
this reason the Russian squadron
under Admiral Wirenius, on it's way to
the far east, received orders to remain
in the Mediterranean until August,
when Russia will send an extraor-
dinarily strong squadron to the far
initiate or capture the Japanese fleet.
This squadron will consist Of the
most powerful vessels in the Russian
Baltic fleet several transports and
eight steamers of the Volunteer fleet
with coal supplies for squad tSs !.
the existing Japanese squadron mas
much as three first-class battleships
now being built will be included.
Torpedo boats and submarines are
being built at the 1shora yards so the
Russian squadron may sail with four
torpedo boat divisions.
! The whole fleet will proceed to the
cut off all retreat Of the Japanese
army to Japan by annihilating the
Japanese fleet, if that be possible.
It is estimated that the war will
cost 5000, 0GO, 900. It Is realized
now in all official quarters that the
was was a mistake.

realizes the impossibility Of carrying
the war into the enemy's country and
