Iapan's Mastery Secrecy.
(By the Associated Press.)


London, March 12.-(Saturday)-Al-
though there is some confusion of dates
in the official messages from the Far
East regarding recent attacks on Port
Arthur and other engagements which IS
probably due to the fact that these affairs
occurred during the night time, 90 fresh
action is known to have taken place on
Friday.
A correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
lat Seoul describes these japanese attacks
on Port Arthur as successful prepare
tory bombardments' thereby ntimating
that greater attempt to reduce Port Ar
thur is imminent.
The official announcement from Mukden
that the Russian army corps which has
arrived at Hardin will be held there be
cause of the landing of japanese troops at
different points and the various reports
of the intentions of the Japanese COM
manders, is an unintentional tribute from
Viceroy Alexieff TO Japan's extraordinary
success in concealing her plan of campaign
and mystifying the enemy as to her move
ments.
A correspondent at Chefoo Of the Daily
Mail gives alleged information of the Jap
anese landing movements up to March 8,
and says that decentralization is proceed
ing at Chemupo and points to the north
ward with marvellous rapidity. During the
last ten days sixteen transports have
landed ten thousand men at town the
japanese call Kaishoe probably Hkang-
Ju, ninety miles by sea from Chemulpo.
Dispatch boats began to run on We'd
nesday between Chemulpo and Chinampo.
The correspondent calculates that up to
the present. 10000 japanese have been
landed in northern Korea

CITY LOSES TRADE
Mis- Connection is
Giving Norfolk Advan-
tage Over Raleigh.

Judge Fred Philips, of Tarboro, arrived
here Thursday morning after a tedious
and tiresome trip from his home, bad CON
nections causing him to be over a night
on this trip of only seventy miles.
Being called to Raleigh to attend the
meeting of the Executive Committee of
the State University, he left Tarboro at Z
o'clock Wednesday night. Reaching
GoldsbOro ne missed connection, trains be-
hind time and in place of reaching Raj
eigh at Has Wednesday night, came in
on Thursday morning about 8 o'clock,
having had to stay over in Goldsboro
Wednesday night.
Said Judge Philips yesterday in talking
about the trip: Il will take a horse and
buggy next time, as I can drive from Tar
boro here in less time than | had to take
OF this trip and can break the time of
the railroads. l can remember when the
old stage coach lines made it in one day,
for it is only seventy miles
Judge Philips says that the inconven-
fence of getting to Raleigh from Tarboro
is diverting much trade and business from
this place to Norfolk. The people in Tar
boro can eat breakfast at home and then
leave there shortly after 8 o'clock any
morning, reach Norfolk shortly after 8
o'clock, spend four hours there on bust
ness or pleasure and then return to Tar
boro in time for supper.
This is a thing for the business people
Of Raleigh to think about, and it shows
that poor connections between the capi-
tai city and eastern North Carolina is
palying havoc with trade. How long, oh
how long, will it be before there is a
change?

making money on the side in the Senate. =

HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Said to Indicate a Per-
s0n's Temperament.

Many people believe that blonde. or
light hair denotes affection and dark
hair constancy. A person without hair
is not devoid OF character; far from it.
The disposition of the average bald
headed man is to show such solicitude
for the welfare of others, that he neg
lects himself. A germ causes badness.
Prof. Sabouraud, of Paris, France, in
nocculated a rabbit with Dandruff germs
causing it to become totally bald i'm five
weeks time. To rid the scalp of these
dangerous germs it is necessary to apply

Tillman Suffers Acutely.
fBv the Associated Press.)

Washington, March 11.-Senator Tlllman
was much more uncomfortable today IMAM
at any time during his illness, though his
condition was not necessarily worse. His
throat is distressing him greatly and the
suffering is most acute. The physicians
again today found it necessary to lance
it and the indications are that another
such operation will be necessary tomor
row as o second abscess appears to be
forming. Still the physicians see no cause
for apprehension and believe careful treat
ment and patience will insure relief. They
think that in a short time Senator Till
man will have recovered sufficiently To
enable him to go South to recuperate.

TO ESCAPE ARMY SERVICE.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, March 11.-Of the two
thousand and sixty-five steerage passen-
gers brought here by the steamship Graf
waldersee and landed at Ellis Island to-
day fully eighteen hundred are Russians,
many of them, it is said, being refugees
who fled to escape possible army service
against Japan. An imperial edict issued
several weeks ago suspended the issuing
of passports to any male between the ages
of fourteen and forty-five, the prescribed
period for army service, the n suit being
according to some of those on the Graf
waldersee, a large exodus from all vii
lagos within reach of the frontier. Every
possible ruse, it was said, is being resort
ed to in order to get acros the frontier
and escape to this country.

NINE DEAD I'm FLOOD.
Reservoir Wall at Winston-Salem Col
lapsed and Left Path of Death and
Destruction.

Winston-Salem N. O., Nov. "a
reservoir of the municipal water
works, located near the centre of this
city, broke at 5 o'clock this morning,
causing the loss of nine lives and the
injury of four or five other persons:
The dead are: Mrs. Matrin Pee
Piles, Mrs. Volger, Mrs. John Poe and
twelve-year-old daughter, Mrs. South
ern, John Southern, Miss Octavia
Bailey, aged twenty; Lucille Malone,
Carolina Martin. The last two named
are colored.
The injured: Martin V. Peoples,
both legs broken; Walter Peoples, in
inry to hack; Giloy Jordan, slightly
bruised.
These are at the hospital. D. L..
Payne, a travelling man, of Green's
boro, may recover, though hi condi-
ton prevents his removal to the hos
pital now.
The north side of the reservoir,
which is thirty feet high, tumbled
over, falling upon the home and barn
of Martin V. Peoples. There were
about 100000 gallons of water in tie
reservoir, and the stream rushed
northeast to the Southern Railway
cut, and thence to Belo's Pond, a dis
lance of a half mile. Four tenement
houses we're washed several hundred
yards by the food.
The thousands of gallons of water
that flowed from the reservoir form
ed a pond in the vicinity, and it was
thought that several people might
have been drowned in this. The City
Council met and decided to drain the
pond in order to recover any bodies
that might lie beneath the water.
