Novoe vremya publishes prominently
Paris dispatch declaring 1t is be-

between Japan, China and Korea has
been formed, which was the real OBJ

Beyond the movement OF troops to
the far east, which is progressing
satisfactorily and in accordance with
Russian plans, the governments adj

Vladivostok, March 24.-Whlle ,ue
situation at Vladivostok remains quiet,
it is not expected that Vladivostok
will continue to be much longer free
from the vigorous operations of the
Japanese. In anticipation of the ap.
pearance of the enemy and Of a pos
sible siege, woman's circle has been
formed. 1t sits six hours daily at the
ministry Of marine, preparing band
ages of linen for wounded soldiers and
sailors. Most Of the women in Vladi

on the railroad. committee has been
formed under the auspices of the vice
governor to collect donations towards
the increase of the feet.
London, March PA series of mes
sages dated between March 10 and
March II, sent by a correspondent OF
the Mail at Chinampho, kurea, de-
scribes the perfect organization and
arrangements Of the Japanese in Ko-
rea. Elaborate preparations have been
made for landing troops and advanc-
ing them through the country. Pontoon
bridges and stables are built wher-
ever they are found to be necessary.
The greatest difficulty facing the Jap.
anese is the commissariat, as owing
to the poor food supplies Of Korea,
it is possible at present to maintain
only 10000 men.
The Japanese hold two enormously
strong positions at Ping Yang and
near Pongsan, Hwany Ju and Seoul.
The latter, the correspondent says, is
practically impregnable and secures
Seoul from land attacks from the
northwest.
In the event of defeat, it is intend
ed to hold the passes at Kazan, thus
protecting the Ping Yang valley. The
Japanese troops are suffering from
dySentery and pneumonia and many
of the cavalry horses, which the cor
respondent says are poor, have died,
but the army is full of spirit.
There are probably 10000 japanese
at Ping Yang which the correspond
ent points ont, might easily have been
taken when the Russian scouts first
arrived, there being then only $50
Japanese soldiers at Ping Yang.
The Russians intended to make An
ju their base, but, owing to delay in
the arrival Of reinforcements, they
were afraid they would be cut off and
so retired Meanwhile the Japanese
advanced to Ping Yang by forced
marches, the troops being almost
without equipment.
According to this correspondent the
Russians are preparing to prevent the
Japanese from landing west of ANU,
and he saws the Japanese sailors ad-
nit that Port Arthur is SO protected
by mines and torpedoes that it would
mean death to approach it.

RUMOR FAVORS JAPANESE.
Reported Port Arthur Has Fallen and
5- Russians Lose GOO.


London, March PA number OF
rumors are printed in the newspa'
pers h.,fe this morning, but they must
be accepted with great reserve.
The Daily Telegraph's Toxic CORE.

OF the Japanese occupation of Port

sea attack Saturday and Sunday. 1t
is asserted that division of Japan.
csc landed on the Lao Tung penins.

slams near Port Arthur while the
fleet bombarded from Saturday even.
ing until Sunday morning.
The same correspondent reports a
sharp encounter at Chyong Syong ton
the Yalu river, about thirty miles
northeast of Wiju) in which the Rus.
slams lost six hundred in killed or
wounded.
The Daily Chronicles Shanghai cor
respondent hears from Niuchwang

HAD NO GUNS.
That, Was Why Vladivostok Fort Did
.... NOT RenIv


a@ Not Reply.
Losdon,, March 21.-A correspond
ent of the Times at Niuchwang cables
as follows:
According to information received
here the reason the Vladivostok forts
did not reply to the bombardment by
the Japanese was because the bat
teries were not provided with guns.
Since the bombardment, parties have
been working night and day to place
guns in position. The bombardment
destroyed the Linevitcn battery. The
Russian losses were slight. because
the batteries were deserted. The
same conditions prevail at Vladivos-
tok as at Port Arthur. The supply Of
provisions there is running short and
the population is panic stricken. The
ice is considered the only real protec-
tion."
A correspondent Of the Times with
the Japanese forces, by wireless tele-
graphy via Wei Hal Wei, under date
of March 20, sends over column OF
matter which is mostly a description
of the torpedo fight between the Rus
SLAMS and japanese on March 8. He
says that Admiral Togo has since been
comparatively passive, according to
the latest advices, and that Port Ar
thur has been given a respite, al
though the cruisers and torpedo boat
destroyers have kept close blockade.
The correspondent says that Vice
Admiral Kamimura's bombardment OF
Vladivostok was solely intended to
harrass the Russians and to compel
the Russian cruisers to leave the har-
Dor. The vice admiral brought his
ships within range opposite the dead.
point of the forts on the northeast en-
trance. The Russians did not reply
because the Japanese vessels took up
positions beyond the arc of the train
ing Of the guns.

PLANS Of JAPANESE.
Want to Drive the Russians Across
the Amur.


St. Petersburg, March 22.-Vladivo-
stok papers which have just arrived
here say that a member of the Japan
csc consulate declared on the eve of
his departure that it was Japan's am
bition to drive the Russians across
the Amur, restore Manchuria to China
and annex Korea.
The Vladivostok editors find it al
most impossible to get out their pa.
pers. The supply of paper is prac.
tically exhausted, they cannot get up
steam in the press boilers because
the horses which carted the water
have gone, most of the reporters and
compositors have either been called
to the colors or have bolted and no
advertisements are being received.

st. Petersburg, March 23.-United

been instructed by the state de.
partment, at the request of M. Taxa.
hira. the Japanese minister at Wash

ment what facilities will be afforded
to the 10000 Japanese in Siberia to

According to information received
here comparatively few Japanese are
now in Siberia. Most Of them left
there just prior to or after the break.
ing out OF the war. The United States
embassy, which is charged with safe.
guarding Japanese interests, has thus
far only responded to the appeals OF
a score OF Japanese coming from Sib
eria through European Russia.
The last, batch Of twelve, coming
from irkutsk. was sent to Berlin Sat

Tested, but it is considered safer that
the Japanese be placed beyond the
region OF possible danger. No appeals
nave been received from Japanese re-.

The Saskatchewan Valley Very Highly

An interesting feature OF Western
Canada is its climate. Those who
have made study Of It speak highly
Of It. The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas. and

Canada is about 1900 feet above the
sea, about 'twic> that OF the average
for Minnesota. It is I yeryA,desass. able
altitude. The country has very
equabls climate taking the seasons
through. The winters are bright and
the summers are pleasantly warm. r
F. Stupart, director Of the meteorologi'
cal service for Canada, says:
1.-THE salient features of the climate
Of the Canadian northwest territories
are q clear, bracinS atmosphere dur
Ing the greater part Of the year, and
medium rainfall and snowfall. The
mean temperature fer July at Winni'
peg Is &C, and Prince Albert 81. The
former temperature is higher than at
any part of England, and the latter Is
very similar to that found In many
parts Of the southern countries"
AT Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is 76 and the mini
mum 4S. Owing to this high day tenn
perature with much sunshine, the
crops come to maturity quickly.
Moisture is ample in the Saskatche
wan valley, being about Is inches an.
nually. 1t is notable that about rs
per cent of the moisture falls during
the crop months. Thus, Western Can.
ada gets as much moisture when 1t IL
needed and with several hours moro
sunshine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season. 1t Is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield beautifully.
Winter ends quickly. sowing is done
during April and sometimes in March.
Harvest comes in August. about the
middle. Cyclones. billiards, dust and
sand storms are unknown.

For GROWING Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 2l-
Mrs. A. L. Smith of this place, says

remedy for growing girls. Mrs.
Smith emphasizes her recommends.
ton by the following experience:
"My daughter was thirteen years
old last November and it is now two
years since she was first taken with
Crazy Spells that would last a week
and would then pass off. In month
she would have the spells again. At
these times she would eat very little
and was very yellow, even the whites
of her eyes would be yellow.
1.-THE doctors gave us no encour-
agement, they all said they could not
help her. After taking one box Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, she has not had
ono bad spell. or course, we contin-
ued the treatment until she had used
In all about dozen boxes, and we
still give them to, her occasionally,
when she is not feeling well. Dodds
Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
