Concentration of Russian Troops

Harbin, Mancuria, Feb. 18, Thurs
day.-The Russian troops are concen-
trated in the lower Yalu valley. Every
body is in high spirits and daily ex-
pecting reinforcements.
Russian families are leaving Man
churia owing to the dearness of pro-
visions, all OF which are required for
the troops.
The Manchurian, and especially the
trans-Baikal railroad cannot cope with
the demands for them Women ana
children are unable to get trains a
many are waiting at the stations suf-
fering from cold and hunger.
The Chinese are quiet and are bring
ing in provisions. The rise in price
is due to some extent to the fall in
the value of paper money, which in
some places is altogether refused. 1t
is expected that there will be suffi-
cient supplies of bread and meat, but
ter, petroleum and fodder, but not
enough sugar, preserved meats and
linen, and that there will be a great
scarcity of boots. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that such stores can arrive
for some time.
The Manchurian railroad officials
have applied for extra allowances OF
pay

Governors Plan Not Needed.

Jackson, Miss, Feb 19.-Though
Major James K. Vardaman was elect
ed governor of Mississippi on a plat
form having for it's chief plank the
division Of the school funds between
the races in proportion to the taxes
paid by each, the legislature has Just
passed a bill appropriating $1,25O, 900
for the state public schools, the gov
ernor's division scheme not being con.
sidered at all.
This fund will be divided between
the races as before, in proportion to
the number of children each furnishes
the public schools of the state. 1t
was freely predicted during the cam.
paign that Governor Vardamans S.
scheme would not go through, even
If he were elected by big majority.
AS soon as the complexion OF the
legislature was known it was seen
that such action would be an impos.
sibility.

Paris, Feb. 20.-It is announced Off

Ships Encounter Rouoh Seas.

New York, Feb. 19.-Battered by
heavy seas and her captain and sec
ond officer injured by an enormous
wave which swept over the lofty
bridge, the steamer Lain reached port
today after a tempestuous voyage
from Genoa, Naples and Gibraltar. She
had very rough passage throughout,
being under reduced speed every day.
On Sunday, Feb. IA, the weather
was very squally and stormy, and
seas repeatedly broke over the fore
deck One immense sea struck the
bride and knocked Captain Bolte and
Second Officer Blund down, fractur.
ing two ribs. The bridge was dam
aged, stancions bent and part of the
rail carried away. The Italian steam
er Stella, also from Italian ports, had
a similar experience.

THE iRooUols INVESTIGATION.
Grand jury Returns "No Bill" Against
w. c. SalIers, the Fireman.


w. c. Saliers, the Fireman.
Chicago, Feb. 19-The first tangi-
Die result of the sepcial grand jury
inquiry into the Iroquols theater dis
aster has been the exoneration of w.
Z. Sallers, fireman at the theater,
and one Of the eight persons held by
the coroners jury. The decision to
return mo bill'' in the case of the
fireman was followed by the issuance
OF subpoena for Sallers to appear
as a witness. Sallers' evidence will
practically close the inquiry.
The task before the jury, after COM
pletlng the hearing OF witnesses and
the study of evidence OF those held
by the coroner and not called, is one
OF many complications. In order to
hold any person for manslaughter the
jury, it is said, must first determine
that that person was, through culpa
BILE carelessness or neglect, response
bic for conditions which were the pri
mary cause of the death of one or
more persons in the audience.
Having determined who of the the.
ater management was responsible for
the absence of adequate fire protec.
ton, the jury will face the question
as to whether the city officials who
failed in their duty to enforce the or.
dinance are also amenablo to homi.
eide charge. Ii these officials cannot
be held for homicide, they may be
held for malfeasance
The jury has accepted the theory
that an electric fan operating in the
air vent OF the rear wall drew the
wave of fire from the stage into the
auditorium.

ter Fred D. Beall, OF conder, Justices

al position north of the great wall,
but the note stands or falls with the
reality OF Chinese neutrality. So long
as China honestly and successfully

unwilling to violate it."
W. N. KOkovzoff, who yesterday was

be fair to capital He knew well
that no endeavor in the solution OF
the present industrial crisis could be
OF permanent value unless it proved
to be OF benefit to both capital and
labor. He was Republican in politics,

Go0o LABOR PLATFORM.
Buffalo. N. Y, Feb. 19.-Carroll ..
Wright. United States commissioner
OF labor, in speech here on the ques.
ton lis there any solution of the la.
Dor Problem?" said
Law has always failed 20 adjust
wages, and its efforts in that direction
have done more harm than good So
cialism is an ambitious remedy, but it
is not a vital principal. 1t is not a
constructive force.
The decalogue is as good labor
platform as any. In religion we find
the highest form of solution offered.
Next to religion comes constructive
evoluticn-that evolution which be.
lieves in the potency Of effort. We
are to have new law OF wages, grown
out OF ratious thought. The applica.
tion Of this religious idea IS the true
solution Of the labor problem"
Mr.. Wright said that the late Abra.
ham S. Hewitt and the late Senator
Hanna were two OF the greatest
friends that labor had ever known.
