TIE JAPANESE LANDINGS
The Russians Will Have Quarter of Million Men Between Port Arthur and Karbin Today to Watch Chinese and Japanese.

London, March 1S.-A correspondent of the Times at Tokio says the Rus sian and Japanese scouts are now sep arated only by the river Cheng- -Cheng, just north or Anu. The dispatch adds that foreign correspondents will leave for the front on either March 22 or 23. but their destination is unknown.
 A correspondent of the Times at Wei Hai-Wei cables under yesterdays date: 'I arrived at Ping Yang inlet March 15. and proceeded to Chinampo. Nayi- gation was difficult owing to the drift ice I found anchored there both war vessels and transports. Disembarka- tion has been difficult, but the Japan ese have brought all necessary aprli- ances. Pontoon jetties have been built and extend for hundreds of yards and the transports brought their own land ing barges-'
 The correspondent describes the landing movements and the disposal of the forces with some detail, and says: 'Desoite the terrible weather the in fantry march twenty-five miles daily. each man carrying nearly one hundred pounds. It was a severe test, but they cid well. Covered by this force. a larger force Is now disembarking with In easy distance of the Japanese ob- Jective, while preparations are reported proceeding at the only practicable port on the east coast of Korea. The active movement for the front points to 9 further retirement of the Russian for ces.
 "nespite their command of the sea. the Japanese omit no precaution. It would be unfair to the Japanese to give the numbers and designations of their forces, but landings were made long enough ago to permit a general reference to them without prejudice to the operations, The weather gener- ally is improving"
 A correspondent of the Daily Mail at Che Foo. just visited Chinampo Korea, says: "On the way to Chemulpo we passed a constant succession of Jap anese transports. Three thousand Jap anese had landed at ChemulpO at tic end of last week" The correspondent; adds that the Russians are retreating across the Yalu river before the ad- vance of the Japanese outposts, and that their forces in. this district num- her 70.

RUSSIANS ACOUiT LAPS.
Of Charge of Using Unlawful Ex-
 plosiVes.

St. Petersburg, March 1.-The charges against the Japanese of vio- lating the rules of civilized warfare in using explosives forbidden by the Hague convention finds no echo in re- sponsible circles here.
 The Japanese are acquitted on that score by a high naval officer who holds a very responsible position and who said today:
 "The accusation against the Japa- nese Of using explosives to produce poisonous gases is based on miscon- ception. They are employing the same explosives as other armies and navies. It is notorious that the bursting of 9 melinite shell between decks generates fumes from which the men are liable to asphyxiation, but the Russian sheli is no better and no worse than that in use by the Japanese. We have not complained in this respect, whatever we may think about the manner in which Japan began hostilities."

and the captain growing out of a di- versity of views as to the best way of getting to the mine. Neither of them was familiar with the country. Only d part of the expedition succeeded in reaching the mine. Instead of the or dinary implements for mining there were a lot of scraDers with which the ore, supposed to be lying loose on the surface was to be gathered together. The expedition returned to Phoenix in detachments of one and two and the Volcanic Gold mine was thereafter rec ognized as copper property. About that time the belief began to be en- tertained that MT. Lowers brain was giving way under the many schemes which he had under way and he soon after left this part of the country. There was never any doubt in Phoenix that he was a very energetic man.

TRUST REGULATORS.
To Republicans Alone the Credit Is
 Due.


 Washington, March 17.-Just before the adjournment of the house today. Mir. Southwick of New York. pre- cipitated a brief lively debate by hav- ing read an editorial from the New York World giving the republicans credit for all antitrust legislation. and the merger prosecution. It was offered by way of reply to Mr. Will Hams. who asked yesterday if the merger decision was to be used by the republicans as a theatrical political trick
 MT. Williams. after the editorial had been read, declared that the securities prosecution was instigated by Cover nor Van Sant, of Minnesota. whom he styled "a blanket Indian republican, % who refused to consult headquarters. and that for very shame, after he had the case docketed the administration prior to an election could not hold it- self still.
 MT. Tawney, of Minnesota, asserted that the democrats in the Fifty-first congress voted against antitrust leg 1 lslation but a vigorous protest came from Nil. Gaines Of Tennessee and Mr. Williams. each of whom asserted that the democrats unanimously voted for such legislation.
 Throughout the day the postofice appropriation bill was under discus sion and little progress was made. The minority leader declared that the post office department was rotten from tur- | ret to foundation stone and the re- publicans were trying to reorganize it on an appropriation bill. l Mr. Payne, of New York, the re- publican leader, asked: Where does the gentleman get his information?" 1 T get il from their own office" re- | piled Mir Williams.
 Then, you don't get it at all" hotlv retorted MT. Payne
 l Il do, warmly replied MT. Williams. | and I get it from their charges against themselves, and I get it from 1 the charge contained in the presidents message and get it from knowledge | that prevails in this house."
 He said only one division of the 1 postofiice department had been in vestigated 1 believe" said he that the gentleman from New York believes there are other divisions in it equally corrupt"
 Mir Payne said he did not believe anything of the kind and he had not seen single man who knew anythina about it. And still" he said, the gentleman indulges in this extravagan; | language that the whole department is rotten"

THE KOREAN ATTITUDE.
Russians Regard It as too Helpless to
 be BelIigercnt.

St. Petersburg, March IA core spondent of the Associated Press is informed that Russia does not regard Korea as a belligerent and will not do so until there is evidence that Korea is actively making common cause with Japan. Russia now considers the Ko- rean government as being under duress and all it's acts void.
 Although no confirmation is obtain able of the Associated Press dispatch from Seoul saying a Korean official in the Tumen River district had re- ceived notice that Russia considered Korea as a belligerent and would act accordingly. In government circles it is considered quite possible that The Russian commander along the Korean border may have warned the Koreans that they must not impede the military operations under pain of being con- sidered belligerents. Even should Korea throw m her lot with Japan and join in the hostilities, Russia would not deign to regard such an ally of Japan as a second power within the terms of the Franco Russian al- liance.
 The military authorities in the far east have reported here that there IS absolutely no truth in the story that Russian troops are occupying the American mining concession at Unsar Korea. They made an investigation ct the instigation of the authorities here on account of reports circulating to that effect. Besides the Russian | government has already promised, SC far as it lies in it's power. to safe guard American interests. should the sphere of operations extend to Ameri- can concessions.
