VicerOy AIexief to Have
a Final Word About
the Chinese.

ST PETERSBURG, Feb. 12.-An i'm
perial ukase dated February 10 was
issued to-day. II commands that all
the troops in the military districts be
placed in readiness for war, that all
The divisions in the Far East may be
brought to war strength and that the
army and navy reserves in the Sibe-
rian and Kaizan districts be called out
for active reserve The authorities are
empowered 10 requisitiOn the necessary
horses.
Russia is evidently not prepared at
this time 10 give an answer TO the
United States TO Secretary Hays note
cn the subject OF the neutrality OF
China. AS previously stated in these
dispatches. hostilities having begun, the
military authorities must be consulted,
and the Car doubtless viii refer the
matter TO NicerOy AleXieff, if he has
not already done so.
Russia. il can be said. is certainly
as anxious as the United States that
The war cause no risings or disorders
in China: indeed. the attitude of China
is already causing some misgivings
here. as she has not declared her neu-
trality.
Il is thought here that the action Ct
the japanese in flooding Peking with
posters relating their victories is part
of a well laid campaign projected from
the beginning TO break down Russia's
prestige in China for the purpose Of
ultimately affecting a union Of the two
races. which would make the yellow
peril a reality. Russia has already
learned Of the position taken by sew
eral powers regarding Secretary Hays
note.
Germany and Great Britain, it is un-
derstood. both express sympathy with
its purpose, but with an important res
ervation concerning Manchuria, which
IS now the theater Of war. Germany's
views in this respect were interested,
but Great Britain fails to give Secre-
tary Hay unqualified support and this
has caused surprise here.
BAKERSFIELD. Feb. IA num-
her Of Japanese residents OF this city
expect to return to Japan for service
in the AIikado's army. Several OF
them are veterans Of the Chinese war
and members Of the reserves. They
anticipate a call at any time through
the japanese Consul at San Fran
cisco.

RUSSIAN MINISTER
AND LEGATION GUARDS
DEPART FROM SEOUL

LONDON. Feb. 12.-The advices OF
the Japanese Minister announce that
the Russian Minister at Seoul and the
Russian legation guards have departed
for China The telegram adds that all
survivors of the Variag and kOrutz
and the transport Sunguri were taken
on board the British. French and Ital-
ian warshiDs off ChemulpO. This is
the first reference made in Far Eastern
dispatches to the loss of the Sungari,
Russian transport.
Baron Hayashi summing up the
events in the Far East, so far as they
have gone, said to-day:
Whatever may be the eventual re-
suit of the war, Russia. in allowing US
to occupy and fortify Masampho. has
created for herself another Darda-
neues With fortifcation of Masampho
the integrity of Japan is assured for
ever. No fleet can now pass there
against Japan's wishes. Even if We
are beaten we would not give up Ma
sampho."
The Associated Press understands the
Japanese are advancing toward the
YaIu River. There. it is expected, they
will engage Russian forces. The jap
anese declare the number Of Russian
troops i greatly exaggerated The plan
Of the japanese appears to be to take
the road which leads almost to Muk-
den. They profess to have no doubt
that they will be able to drive back the
Russian forces toward Harbin- Pro-
ceeding diagonally, the Japanese intend
to cut the line Of communication be-
tween Port Arthur and the mainland OF
Manchuria, not only preventing rein
forcements from reaching Port Arthur
garrison. but inficting damage on the
Manchurian Railroad.
The British view that the japanese
will in the meantime be able to occupy
Port Arthur is chiefly based on the
latest information that Russian guns
cannot be brought to bear on any force
landing at Pigeon Bay, which is on
the western side of Port Arthur, and it
is believed that the Japanese admiral
will follow tactics almost exactly sim
liar TO those pursued at Santiago. the
troops storming the batteries in the
rear. while the japanese fleet lies wait
ing for the ships of Viceroy Alex
Jeff. which, in the event Of land at
tack being successful, must either
make dash for liberty or fight where
they are against practically hopeless
odds.
In spite of the lack Of news il is con-
fdently held here that the Japanese
land forces are actively engaged in
most important movement, which viii
come to a climax as swiftly as did
Japan's first naval attack.

out from Empress Marie calling
for subscriptions for the Red

LONDON, Feb. I3.-Com-
plete silence has fallen over the
Far East. Not a word of news
is to be had here except the re-
port given out at the Japanese
legation of the shelling of the
Japanese merchant vessels by
four Russian warships, and the
report from Viceroy Alexieff Of
the blowing up of the Russian
torpedo transport Yenisei. This
long silence has given rise to the
belief that important events are
transpiring.

similar reports.

By reference to an article taken
from the State and published
last week, it will be seen that
about 10000 acres of land have
been sold to parties in interest who
propose to divide these tracts into
convenient homesteads and settle
colony of Scandinavians thereon. This
land, as we understand, lies along the
Southern Extension Railway, about
nine miles from this place, in the sand
fats, the most fertile section of Lex
ington county, the garden spot OF
the world. These people, it is said,
will engage in truck farming on an
ex tensivescale for the home and for

to be By persons acquainted with
their habits and customs and their
mode of living, honest, industrious
and law abinding and as q whole,

Applications are beginning to come
in on the fair authorities for space On
the midway. It has been planned to
make this part of tho greater fair
more of success than ever before,
and the strictest sort of scrutiny will
be made of all shows before the ap-
plications are acted on favorably.
There have been a number of letters
received from the carnival companies

grounds or up in the city. As it is
nearly time for the City Fair associa-

COUNTY is NOT LIABLE.
Supreme Court UphoIds Decision of
Judge Hazen in Parr Case.

In the decisions handed down Satur-
day by the supreme court was one
sustaining the Shawnee district court
in the suit of J. w. Parr against
Shawnee county for damages.
The suit has been contested through
all the courts to the supreme court.
Parr was injured by a bridge near
Tecumseh giving way beneath a load
of hay on which he was riding. He
claimed damages. The county COM
missionerS refused to pay any damages
as no notice had been given the board
of commissioners that the bridge was
unsafe Parr claimed some sort of a
notice had been sent to the board
concerning the bridge. Charles WEIGH,
then county auditor, was engaged by
the board to represent Shawnee coun-
ty in the suit. Parr appealed from the
district court which gave a verdict
against Parr. The supreme court sus-
tanned the verdict for Shawnee county
by holding that actual notice of the
weakness of a bridge must be filed
with the board of county commission
ers before the board is responsible for
any damages resulting from injuries
from the collapsing of a bridge.
