not bad Indians before 1877. and have
been Eeaceable and well-behayed ever
since.
The time having passed for them to
get an amendment in the House TO the
proper appropriation bill, they want

WAR NEWS RECEIVED AT LONDON TELL OF
CONFLICTING AND PUZZLlNG ACCOUNTS

London, March 13-Neither the Off
cial nor the Independent dispatches
published this morning add much
knowledge to the progress of the war.
Speculation regarding the military
situation on the Yalu river is most
keen, but no news of a reliable charac-
ter has been received.
The NagasaR correspondent of the
Express asserts that 100000 troops have
been shipped from Japan, and that a
portion of the second army corps is
now on its way to Korea.
The correspondent of the Chronicle
at Toxic, evidently referring to the
same movements, cables that the trans
iaportation to northerB Korea Of three
Of Japanese troops have been
completed and that these men are be-
ginning to advance, while ten divisions
of the second army corps have already
been mobilized.

contradictory character Of reports from
The far East received here. a corre

According to Tian Tsin correspond
ent of the Standard. the Russians are
Withdrawing all their superfuous
troops from Port Arthur to Harbin and
kirin because of the shortness Of pro-
visions and because it is doubtful
whether or not they would be able to
mold either Port Arthur of New
Chwang against a resolute attack.
The spirit of the Russian troops who
are largely recruits, has been broken
by starvation, cold and harsh treat j.
ment from their officers The Russian
losses on the Yalu river are reported to
reach total of 1000 men.
The Standard .his morning pub
fishes an article in which the writer
points the defenseless condition of the
Amur river. Russia never profited from
the experiences of the Boxer outbreak,
he says, and she has no forts or gun
boats on the river. 1t is proba bale that
when the ice disappears the Japanese
Will send fleet y gunboats into the
river and make themselves felt along

Labor on Panama Canal.

The House committee on interstate e
and foreign commerce recently began
series of hearings to determine the
character OF Legislation for the govern
ment Of the canal zone on the isthmu
of Panama.
Rear Admiral Walker said he be
lieved that work on the canal could be
begun in two or three months. By this
time, he said. the question of title
would be cleared and a transfer made
to the United States. The French com
pany now had about 800 laborers at
work on the Culebra cut, and this work
would be continued
The liquor question was injected
into the discussion by the remark of
the admiral that the principal revenue
would come from the licenses from
eating houses and saloons. He was
asked at once if it was necessary to
grant liquor privileges. He replied pos
itively that it was; that the laborers OF
the tropics all used alcoholic bever-
ages. and that 1t would be impossible
to obtain. or retain. laborcrs for this
work If the sale of liquor was prohib-
tied. He said. however. that they We're
not hard drinkers, consuming only
betl dIu iISul NlutS.
Speaking of the class of labor that
it would be necessary TO employ in the
construction of canal, Admiral Walk
er said that the blacks from Jamaica
were undoubtedly the best fitted class
obtainable in the vicinity of the canal
zone. There were not enough Of those
laborers, including the blacks which
could be taken from the southern
states to prosecute the work after it
once was gotten under way Coolle
labor from China and Japan would
have to be brought over for this work.
He estimated that the maximum mum
Der Of labOrers needed would be some
$4,000. Cther persons who would come
with thes e laborcrs would increase the
population of the zone to some $4,000.
The police force necessary to keep or
der on the isthmus, Mr.. Walker sug-
gested, should be organized as that of
an American city. Ore hundred men
at first would be sufficient but this
number would have to be increased to
perhaps 500. In case Of riots or un-
usual disturbances he believed the
Panama government could be relied
on to aid the police force Of the strip,
and he also deemed it advisable to
have 300 American troops or marines
permanently stationed in the zone.

about As miles northwest of Antung, in
Manchuria) as one Of several points of
Russian concentration, while other
correspondents have reported that the
Japanese have captured Fung Wang
Chang. Other correspondents report
that the Russians have mined all points
where it is possible to cross the Yalu
river.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Telegraph says that the Japanese, at
ter Port Arthur is neutraliZed, prob
ably will move to the north simultan-
eously. one from the southern part of
the Liaotung peninsula and the other
from the Yalu river.

graphs of President Roosevelt and

! Mr.. MCIaurin said that the para
| graph grew out out of a statement
made in a newspaper letter written by
A. j. PaxGon, an attorney Of Leland.
Mississippi, who told Of the arrest at
that point of three men who, he said
were engaged in selling pictures of the
President and Mr.. Washington seated
at table together, and also pictures
of an obscene character. These pic
lures, he said appealed strongly to
race prejudice.
Similar arrests. also. Mr. McLaurin
said, had been made at Indianola, and
it was found upon the hearing OF the
cases that Cincinnati concern en-
gagged In publishing the pictures in
question had many agents out in the
interest of these works.
The men were tried and some of
them sent out Of the country, and Nc
Laurin expressed surprise that any
community should have permitted
them to be tried. He said that the
penalty imposed by the law was en-
tirely too small, and expressed the
opinion that the death penalty would
not be too severe. He added that the
arrests We're not because the men were
selling photographs of the President,
or of Mr.. Washington, but because
they were selling lewd pictures.

WORLDS FAIR.
Great Coach Excursions via Penn
sylvan1a Railroad.

June s., Is, %, and 80 are the next
dates for great coach excursions to St.
Louis via Pennsylvania Railroad, on
account of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. The rates for these excur-
sions have been fixed at such a low
figure that they afford those of limited
means an opportunity of seeing the
Worlds Fair at an exceptionally small
cost. The unusual success attending
the first Pennsylvania Railroad excur-
sion indicates that these will be very
popular.
Special trains of standard Pennsyl-
vania Railroad coaches of the most
modern pattern will be run on the
aforementioned dates from New York,
Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Altoona, and
Pittsburg, directly through to st. Louis
with ample stops for meals at conve-
nient hours. Each train will be in
charge of Tourist Agent of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. The rates will be the
same as for The first excursion, May 10,
500 from New York, $3.50 from Phila-
delphia, and proportionate rates from
other stations.
Specific information regarding time
of special train and connections, and
rates from principal stations east OF
Pittsburg, will be announced shortly.

Anglesea is situated at the northeast
end of the island called Five Mile

fish or sail to your hearts delight, or
go around the corner and take a surf

of sense in regard to dress, whatever
he may be in any other respect: but
1 do not think he carries about or
wears more ordinary clothes than any
other gentleman of high position
What keeps the royal Wallets busy
(and the King always takes couple
with him-hke Count D'Orsay) is the
constantly growing stock of official
clothes because Albert Edward is a
stickler for etiquette. If he goes to
an army ceremony he wears the uni
form of the field marshal; and he at
tends naval affairs dressed as an ad-
miral OF the fleet. Similarly, when he
went to Kiel the other day to visit
his nephew (whom the irreverent call
William the Bumptious, and the pune

adsed: Even If you thought you
were alone, I don't see why you should
go along the street whistling."
Don't you?" asked the girl in blue,
innocently. "Why, lots of women do
it. Haven't you noticed them? 1t is
really quite the thing. Possibly few
women whistle as loud as I did just
then, but they walk along with their
lips puckered up all ready for the ex-
ercise, and every little while they
break out into sound. Sometimes the
whistle is a mere emission of breath,
