JAPANESE CENSORSHIP.
The War Eagles Take Flight from
 Tokio to Shanghai.

Shanghai. March S.--The rigid cen sorship placed by the Japanese author ities on all telegraph despatdles, both press and private, has caused many of the foreign correspondents to seek a field of news on the mainland
 Correspondents who have reached here from TOkiO report that the cen sorship is more perfect than they have ever encountered and it is exercised on intercOmmunication as well as on for eicn matter. The exactions of the censorship and the difficulties of inter communiCa ton have served largely to obscure the view of the correspondents and probably has resulted in much conflicting news frGm various points. It is anticipated that when the corps of newspaper reporters who are TOW at Tol1io are finally allowed 10 go to the front a serious condition of telegraphic service will result as the military available land lines are. not adequate to tho service they will be called on to perform.
 Well informed newspaper men who have reached here express the opinion that there will be no extensive land operations until the naval operations are cOnclusiveIy decided. unless the Russians should cross the Yalu and start south. thus forcing the hands of tho Japanese.
 From the best information obtainable. however, the Russians are not in shape to make such a move in force. Ii is generally held by the experts that should the Japanese sweep the sea three large forces will be put in oper- ation. one against Port Arthur. one through Korea across the Yalu to cut the Russian center to the railway, and the third against Vla1ivostok.
 The regulations for the government of foreign newspaper correspondents have been promulgated and are iron clad. One article provides that if q

NEWS IS MOSTLY RUMOR
Sienificance of Visit of Marquis Ito to Korea Report From Tokio That the Russian Battleship Retvizan Has Been Floated.

London, March S.-The TokiO corre- spondent of the Daily Telegraph, cabling on the night of Tuesday, March 8. says: No details have yet been received of the fight of Vladivostok.' k.'
 The whereabouts of the Vladivostok squadron is still unknown, and it would appear quite unlikely that a naval battle has occurred.
 The sending of Marquis Ito on mission to Korea is regarded here as the most significant news of the day, and is believed to indicate a virtual protectorate over Korea. which will become the Japanese military base and source of supplies. Marquis Ito en- joys great prestige. He visited the emperor of Korea in 1898, and since then has been held in the highest es- teem by the emperor, who often con- suited with him.
 It is reported from Shanghai that Viceroy Alexeff is preparing to remove his Headquarters to Harbin after hay ing in vain ordered the Tartar general to dismiss the Chinese garrison at Mukden. In Shanghai it is believed that the Japanese will attempt the seizure of New Chwang as soon as the ice clears.
 A correspondent of the Daily Express at Shanghai asserts that the Russians are throwing up continuous line of earthworks from Kaiping to Liaoyang.
 The Che Foo correspondent Of the Daily Express reports that a large Japanese fleet has been seen proceed ing in the direction of New Chwang.

A FIGHT IMMINENT.

St. Petersburg, March S.-The where abouts of Captain Reitzenstein's Vladivostock squadron is carefully guarded by the military authorities, but there is a strong impression here that when the seven Japanese warships appeared off the harbOr Sunday and yesterday the Russian squadron was outside, perhaps down the coast, oper- ating with the Russian land force near the mouth of the Tumen river

 All the harbors along the coast which the Russians might seek refuge are frozen and the squadron must event. ually be forced to return to Vladivos- tolC for coal.

ALExIEFF STILL REPORTING
A Repetition of Details of the Engage
 nent Of Sunday.

St. Petersburg, March S.-Viceroy AlcXief has sent the czar the following telegram: "Mukden, March s. I have the honor to communicate to your ma jesty the following details of the events of March 6: The enemy's squdron ap- preached Vladivostok toward II o'clock in the morning, having passed near Askold island. After several maneuv- CTS which involved changes in the squadron's order of battle two cruis- CTS were left to the north of the island and the remaining vessels of the squad ron steamed along the coast of Ussuri bay, parallel to the shore, keeping about ten miles therefrom.
 Upon arriving of Mount St. Joseph and the Ussuri bay battery, the squad ron, preserving the same order, made toward the battery. The ships opened fire from both sides. evidently first using blank cartridges in order to warm their guns. At 1:35 p. m. when at distance of five and one fourth miles from shore the leading ship opened fire with her forward gun, and then the entire squadron steamed along the shore, firing their port guns as they
 went. The enemy did not fire while
 turning. After the third turn the
 squadron at 2:25 D. m. ceased firing and
 steamed off to the souUhward about ten miles to the right of of Askold island. finally disappearing at 5:30 D. m. In all the enemy fired about 200 shells with no effect. No damage was done to the fortress or the entrenchmenUs. and in the town and at other parts of the Qualifications the damage was in significant.
 The garrison is in excellent spirits ] and the operations of preparing the 1 batteries for action were carried out in l perfect order. According to reports of | the events of March 7.. the enemy g ! squadron reappeared at o'clock in the morning near Vladivostok.

 These were the results of the terri torial convention held here today.
 There was a unanimous sentiment against statehood and harmony with a big H. It would have been good for Arizona could the uninformed con gress have seen the calibre of the rep resentatives of the territory at the re- publican territorial convention today. As pr. Duffield remarked during the proceedings:
 'I never saw so much after ycu, my- dear AlhpOnse' and After you, my heeT GdSJOn, III my Il1e. The sum and substance of it is that the convention was as Governor Brodie said, One that will go into the history of Arizona as one of her greatest conventions.
 The most popular names heard in convention were Roosevelt and BrOdie. When the governors name was men toned and when he spoke, delegates stood on seats and waved their hats handkerchiefs and yelled fer Brcdic. His speech, calm deliberate and con- vincing, seemed to put away the only doubt in the minds of any, namely, as to how his chief stood on the ques- tion of double statehood.
 Everything was pIearranged with out jar; every question had been gone over before hand as far as -possi- ble. The only question left open was the location of the next convention.
 Bisbee and Prescott both havinc strong claims, with willingness on the part of Phoenix to accept it if sna were sufficiently persuaded Out she was noD, this question was settled with harmony and without strife.

THE TURKS HARD TERMS
Imposed for the Passage of the Black
 Sea Fleet.

Berlin, March S.-The Porte has thus far met requests of the Russian ambassador to Turkey, NJ. Zinovieff, to permit the Black Sea fleet to pass the Dardanelles, by naming conditions wholly unacceptable to Russia. One of these conditions naturally is that Rus sia shall break off or evade the ful- fiilment of her agreement with Austria respecting the Balkans, give the sultan leave to settle the controversy by his own methods, and assist Turkey should Austria or the other powers dispute the sultan's decision. Russia rejected these proposals as preposterous. but she renewed her request, to which there seems little likelihood of the sul- tan yielding. as British diplomacy is active at ConstantinOple in urging on the porte a strict observance of the Berlin treaty.
 France, so far as can be perceived here, has not seconded Russia in this matter. Such a step as permitting the Black Sea fleet to pass the Dardanelles would be regarded automatically as a breach of neutrality On the part of Turkey, though Great Britain's opposi- tion to it, being aimed at the malnten- ance of the status qIo, is not so con sidered
 The most that Germany will do in the presence Of a bargain between Russia and Turkey for the release of the Black Sea feet would be to main tain silence, neither advising nor as- sisting either party. The government here is looking ahead. It can conceive of a time when it will be to Germany's advantage to have a portion of the Russian navy locked up.

by order of Governor Herrick in re- sponse to the request of the city and county officials.
 During the afternoon threats were heard that the levee, the negro sec tion, would be burned. It is said the negroes are determined to aVenge the lynching. In one Of the large shops today the white men treated the ne groe employees with contempt, and this resulted in heated arguments and threats being exchanged.
 Fearful of the consequences of the mutterings about the city, a conference was held in the mayors office tonight by the mayor, the sheriff, two members of the board of public safety, the county prosecutor and others. As a result of this, telegram was sent to Governor Herrick asking for six com panies of militia and requesting that the local companies be stationed in their aTmories. In response to this the mayor received a telegram to the ef feet that the request would be com piled with at once, and asking that the governor be kept fully advised of the situation. The saloons were ordered closed.
 At 11:20 the threat of the mob, ire quently made through the day and evening, was finally made good, and Q volume of flame was seen to shoot uD from the rear of a place occupied by Lee Thomas, a saloon keeper. Preced- ing the firing of the building the mob at distance of a hundred feet shot at the front of the building for half an hour, but it is not known whether any of the occupants had remained in the building.
 1 The fire spread both ways from 1 Thomas place. It is thought the mol will not tolerate the effort Of the fire 1 department to put out the fire in ths | levee district, but will offer no resist ance to the attempts to confine the firG to buildings along Washington street known as the levee.
 There are a few branch offices main
 tained by down town firms in the vi cinity. The militia has not arrived il ! sufficient numbers to attempt to quel the mob and the fire is rapidly spread ing to the east and west.
 At midnight the entire block iI
 Washington street from Gallaghe street west to Spring street is on fire
 with no hope of saving any of tn
 buildings. The troops from Cincinnati
 and Dayton will be here on a specia ] train within fifteen minutes. They ar
 urgently nee6ed, as it is entirely prob able that the negroes will make goot
 their threats to fire the business dis
 trict of the city and dynamite the jai
 and ether county buildings.

A JAPANESE LOAN.

Tokio, March S.-The Japanese gov ernment, it is stated, is considering the advisability of seeking to secure i'm mediately 2 loan in America and Eu- rope. Although it is estimated that enough bonds can be sold at home to provide sufficient money to prosecute the war for at least one year and Il half, and although many Japanese statesmen and 1nanciers believe that Japan is capable of waging the war to a conclusion without borrowing a single cent abroad yet it is felt that there may arise in a year or two contin- gency when money may be seriously needed.

Ogden, Utah, March S.-Ogden-Lucin cutoff, eliminating 145 miles of the main line of the Southern Pacific over Promintory mountain, and shortening the road by forty-three miles, was opened to regular traffic this morning.
 The first train to cross the Great Salt Lake was composed of thirty-five cars of freight, and made the run over the new road, which includes forty three miles of trestle through the briny waters Of the lake, in seven hours less time than would have been required by the Promintory route.

 While the lynching is depiored, the community is almost a unit in believ- ing that it has taught the lawIess eie- ment of the city wholesome lesson.

Springfield, Ohio, March 9.-At 2:30 o'clock this morning the fire had burn ed itself out and both mob and spec tators have for the most part dispersed.
 Quiet prevails throughout the city and the mob is good natured and or derly, evidently well satisfied with it's nights work. It is hardly probable that an attempt will be made by the whites to burn the West Washington street resorts out as this section is closely guarded by troops.

SINGLE CURVE
IS PROPOSED
United Railroads Will Con-
slider Plan of Mayor for
Post and Kearny Streets

A conference was held yesterday by
Commissioner Schr1itz of the Public
Works Board, TREY L. Ford, attorney
for the United Railroads, and Mayor
Schmitz in the Mayors office relative
to the removal of the curve at Post
and Kearny streets by the board
named and the maintenance of track
curves at other points in alleged viola
ton of a city ordinance.
Replying to Fords explanation that
the spur track was originally laid and
long used under a franchise granted in
1879, Commissioner Schmitz called at
tention to the ordinance prohibiting the
construction of a spur track within
eleven feet of the curb, whereas in
this case the curve was only six feet
away from the sidewalk. Ford con-
tended that the ordinance was passed
one year after the grant of franchise
and. therefore, could not be applied.
Even if your franchise gives you the
power to put down the curve" said the
Commissioner. I'VE have the right un-
der the general police regulations to
remove it if it is proved to be a men
ace to life and limb. We deem the
public safety paramount to any rights
the railroad company may possess"
"As way out of the difficulty" said
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1904-10-01

Mayor Schmitz, Il would suggest that
a single curved track only be operated
at this corner instead of two as laid
by the. company. This would comply
with the ordinance as to distance from
the curb and would permit OF car
traffic" :.
81 am not competent to Judge of the
mechanical points involved" answered
Ford, but will submit the matter to
our engineers. for report" - =
1t was then agreed to hold another
conference next Wednesday at 5 p. M,
when a solution of the problem will be
arrived at.
MANY other curves violate the or
dinanee," said Commissioner Schmitz,
and it is our intention to REMOVE. them
all If no sufficient reason can. be adj
vanced for. their maintenance" =:
AT Mayor Schn1ftz's suggestion it was
decided not TO take action ON other
curves until the company outlines its
Intentions next Wednesday.
