RCSSIA'S BIG AR MY.
A Newspaper Correspondent Says About
100000 Men Will De In tho Field.

PARIS, Feb. ia representative
of the Matin. who has reached the
center of the Russian military concen-
tration at Hardin, confirms the an
nouncement that the place will be the
main base of the Russian operations
Thus far the base has succeeded in
maintaining its communication with
Port Arthur. The concentration Of
troops, the correspondent says, pro.
ceeds Systematically and provision
has been made for the speedy arriv al
of 1900 men from the divisions of
Moscow, Kietf aud Varsovie.
Before twelve days shall have
elapsed the Russians will have dis
posed of an army of 400, 900 men
through Manchuria. Intense demor-
alization exists among the populace
and the people of the surrounding vii.
lagos are aooking into the town, seek
ing to reach western Russia. The
railroad trains, however, are blocked
and over 1000 voyagers are thus held
up. The intense cold prevailing in.
creases the suffering and adds to the
difficulties of bringing forward troops.
LONDON, Feb. l9.-The japanese

necessary repairs had already been
made. The Japanese fleet remains in.

This message also denies the report
that the Japanese were driven from

skirmish in which $50 japanese were
taken prisoners, and declared tn at the

Pigeon bay. 1t says the japanese
forces up to the present time have

sewing machine agent, who has been
on drunken spree for the past two
weeks, committed suicide today about

THE FIRST LAND FIGHT.
Small Detachment Of Japanese Routed
By Party Of Russian Cavalry.

St. PETERSBURG, Feb. 20.-A dis
patch from Port Arthur says the first
land encounter occurred yesterday.
A picket Of Cos acks attacked small
detachment of japanese troops on
Korean territory. The Cossacks cap
tured some japanese prisoners, on
whom they found maps and papers.
The collision was presumably between
accommodating parties. A general en-
gagement is not anticipated immedi
ately.
Military activity is proceeding on
an ever increasing scale and all is in
readiness for the mobilization of the
entire Russian army should it become
necessary. In fortnight 100, 900 ad-
ditional troops will be in Manchuria.
Three army corps Of Siberian rifles
have already been organized and a
fourth soon will be completed. There
is also brigade of Cossack artillery,
armed with excellent mountain guns.
1t is learned that the Russian plan
Of campaign includes the practical
abandonment Of Port Arthur and
Vladivostock and concentration OF an
army Of 400.000 men under the general
command Of Viceroy Alexietf at Har.
bin. The advance is under the direct
command of General Kuropatkin.
With this mass OF 100000 men, Rus
sia aims slowly to force the Japanese
back, establishing bases as her armies
go forward, and ultimately driving
Japan from the mainland, and then to
take formal possession of Korea,
which will be made a Russian pro-
vince.
A late dispatch from Port Arthur
announce that by order of Viceroy
Alexieff, an irregular volunteer corps
is being raised to defend the fortress.
The men will be provided by the state
with arms, rations and the necessary
clothing. 1t is thought, the dispatch
adds, that Japan regards foodstutfs
consigned to Port Arthur as absolute
ly contraband of war, and that she
will undertake to compel the capitula a.
ton Of Port Arthur by siege.

SHORT STORIES OF THE WAR.
Military Experts Believe Russian Army
Will Be Forced to Retreat.

LONDON, Feb. 18.-Dispatches pub
lshed in London newspapers this
morning, purport to give alleged des-
criptions of the embarking of the Jap
anese troops. Instead of the embark
alton occurring secretly, as was the
case during the Chinese Japan war,
the transports are openly embarking
troops from Nagasaki, Moi, Kobe
and elsewhere.
It is now believed in London and
on the continent that Viceroy Alexieff
had decided to fall back on Harbin,
abandoning Port Arthur, Vladivostok
and the whole Of southern Manchuria
to the Japanese, and that he is per
haps hoping that the reduction of
Port Arthur and Vladiyostok will oc-
cupy the enemy while he is concen.
trating his forces at Harbin.
PARIS, Feb. 18.--An eminent mill
tary authority connected with one of
the embassies said today that Port
Arthur was practically besieged, and
it was a serious question whether this
would not compel either the abandon
ment or surrender Of the fortress with
its men and material.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 18.-Official
confirmation is made that an attack
made on Port Arthur on February 16
was repulsed after heavy firing on
both sides. According to the story,
this attack was intended as feint to
cover a landing at Talienwan bay,
but it failed because the Russian guns
were placed to command that shore.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18.-William
McC. Osborne, collector of customs at
Fusan, Korea, is here on vacation
trip. Speaking of Japan. and her
ability to maintain a long war, Mr..
Osborne says she has laid in large
quantities of supplies for her army,

spects is on war footing never be.

A well-known citizen of the
county seat informed us today
that Attorney X. C. Moore of
Middlebourne. had an appoint
ment very recently to deliver a
political address in the western
part of the county at the Buck
worth school house, and but one
lone man was all that assembled
to hear Mr.. Moore discuss the is-
sues of the compagn. 1t is also
stated the speaker met with about
the same reception at Shirley
This is more evidence of the lack
of enthusiasm in the Republican
party in Tyler county.

homes, our rough hillsides, and
glory in the knowledge that they
are ours. That is the reason we
have so tenaciously chung to our
homes when we knew it was los
ing game. Very few more than
barely live and pay taxes now,
when our lands are assessed at
nothing like the actual value that
will be considered the true one,
taking into account the minerals,
oil and gas which may be under
our farms. Now, what are we to
raise these new taxes on? We
cannot realize on the unproduced
minerals, oil and gas. We cannot
sell grain and other products for
better prices than we did hereto
fore, when they were not assess
able property. Tyler county far
mers are generally thrifty, intel
ligent and well-to-do class OF citi-
zens, who live well, and have good
homes and improved farms. Now,
how are they to meet a tax that
catches them on the improvement
of their farms, on their buildings,
on their grain and other prod
ucts. on all of their stock and
fowls, on all their household and
farm belonging at their true and
actual value. 1t is true money IS
not scarce in our county, but how
many farms do you suppose will
be clear of mortgage when the
land is assessed the second time,
January 1, 1902 And if the new
law will bear so hard on us how
will it be in the back counties
where money is scarce and the
valuation under the old law very
low? Low as was the valuation
it was heretofore very difficult for
land owners to meet the annual
tax bill, and many sacrifices had
to be made in order to hold their
farm from being sold. Now we
all know that West Virginia is
rich in unproduced minerals and
oil and gas, and it seems that
the rough lands of the back coun-
ties are especially so, at least in
coal. But the land owners do not !
realize a cent from them, and how
are they to raise taxes on valu-
alton in all probability more than
twenty times greater than even
under the old law?
Does it seem possible that these
hardy, money-poor men OF our
mountain counties can hold their
lands under such an unjust tax
law? Does it not seem more than
probable that the men for whose
benefit the unjust Dawson law
seems to have been enacted will
have, at the end of four years,
stretched forth their greedy fin
gers and drawn to themselves the
valuable lands that have been the
homes of the hardy supplemented
mountain folk for generations?
Does it seem that the Dawson law
was especially enacted in order to
deprive the landholder of his
holdings by placing such an ex-
cessive tax on all West Virginia
farms and farm property?
Now, Mr.. Editor, the foregoing
questions are causing many peo'
pie to feel very anxious about the
result of the coming election.

A CAMPAIGN LIE ONLY.


1t is frequently reported in Re-
publican newspapers and by Re-
publican speakers who have no
regard for the truth, that when
the Democrats turned over the
State to the Republicans that the
State treasury was bankrupt, in
debt, and in a bad way financially
in general. This is campaign lie
that no self respecting newspaper
or orator tells or prints, but the
editors and speakers who will
publish or say anything have very
industriously circulated this false
story. The facts are very differ
ent, and can be easily proven by
the receipt of Treasurer Kendall,
the Republican elected to receive
the money from the ex-Democratic
treasurer, as the following will
show:
When the Democratic admins
tration went out of office on the
18th of March, 1897 the retiring
treasurer, the Hon. John M.
Rowan, took a receipt from M. A.
Kendall, the new treasurer, which
was published at the time in the
Wheeling Register of March 7,
1897, and is as follows:
State of West Virginia,
Office of the Treasurer,
70 'clock noon, March 4, 1897.
Received of Hon. John NJ.
Rowan, retiring State treasu-
rer, eleven hundred and thir-
ty-six thousand, five hundred
and one dollars and ninety
three cents.
: Said sum is given as the ag-
gregate amount of the three
funds Of the State, in the va
rious State repositories, taken
from the records of the treas
urer's office, and embraces the
issuing certificate of deposit
No. 1893, issued on the third
instant, and the writing OF
check No. 1914, written on
the morning of this date.
M. A. KENDALL,
State Treasurer.
It will be observed that this re-
eeipt states the aggregate amount
then in the treasury to the credit
of all the funds but does not
state how much was to the credit
of the three funds separately. But
the reports of the treasury for
the year 1928 shows that the
amount to the credit of the differ
ent funds of the last day OF
March, 1897, were respectively as
follows:
State fund. .......... 1851 ,3l3.5O
General school fund. :. pa, 2O6.42
Uninvested school fund 3O2, 6OO.S9
1t will be noticed that the ag-
gregate of these three funds on
the LIST day of March, amounting
to $1,14S,12O.S1, differ from the
amount in Treasurer Kendall's re-
ceipt by only $12,61S.SS. From
which it may be inferred that the
above amount of 1861, 1880 is at
least within $12,61S.SS of the bal
ance to the credit of the State
fund on the 4th of March, 1897,
the day on which the control of
the State passed into the hands
Of the Republican party.
