THE PORT ARTHUR FLEET

ST PETERSBURG, March 4-Govern-
ment officials confirm the reports that
decisive move of the Port Arthur squadron
has arrived there, that torpedo boats es-
pecially will be brought into play, and that
despite contrary reports. Russia is under
stood to have an ample supply of torpedoes
for these craft. The Russians have taken
advantage of the stormy weather which
has prevented further operations of the
Japanese fleet to improve their defenses

VICTIM EATS POISONED
CANDY SENT BY MAIL
Young Woman, in Dying Condi-
ton, Accuses Jealous Married
Woman OF Attempted Murder.
WARRANT FOR ARREST

PIERRE, S. D., March A case which
has just come to light here promises to
equal the celebrated California case in
which murder was committed by means of
a box of poisoned candy sent through the
mails. The victim in the case, Miss Rena
Nelson, who lives with her parents on a
farm six miles north of this city, is not
yet dead. but attending physicians ex-
press little hope for ner recovery. The
box containing the candy was mailed at
Boone. Ia, and according to the State
chemist. the poison used was corrosive
sublimate.
Miss Nelson accuses a married woman,
residing at Boone, Ia. or being the sender
of the candy, and gives as a reason for the
act jealousy because of a friendship which
existed between herself and the husband
of the woman accused Sheriff Laughlin
wired the authorities at Boone to arrest
the woman accused but they refused to do
so without a warrant. The sheriff will
leave with the necessary papers to-mor-
row and arrest her.

HAVE Conveyed ARMY OF
FULLY 100000 TO KOREA
Forty Transports, Escorted by the
Entire Fleet, Are at FuSan

RUSSIANS MORE ACTIVE

VLADIVOSTOK, Wednesday, March 2,
via St. Petersburg, March 4.-According to
information received here, forty Japanese
transports, escorted by the entire naval
fleet, have been energetically landing troops
in Korea at Fusan and Chemupo. 1t is
estimated that fully 100000 men have disem-
barked, and it is supposed that an immedi-
ate advance into northern Korea is con-
templated.
From the fact that the Japanese fleet is
thus employed it is felt that no immediate
attack upon Vladivostok or Port Arthur
will be made.
The reported landing of $500 Japanese at
Song-Chin, Plaksin bay, on the east coast
of Korea, has been confirmed.
There is remarkable rumor abroad that
a quantity. of transport material together
with ninety tons of salt fish, have been
discovered laid away in secret places in
the neighborhood of Nikolaiavak. They
were apparently intended for. the use of
Japanese forces toward the end Of the sum-
mer.

PARIS, March 5.-Telegraphing from
Harbin. a correspondent OF the Matin says
a special staff of officers has started for
Lake Baikal TO meet General Kuropatkin.
'The Central Telegraph office here" the
correspondent continues, will henceforth
be closed to the public. The concentration
of Chinese forces west of Mukden arouses
suspicion, in spite of the repeated declara-
tions Of China's neutrality. Cossacks are
advancing into Korea, where the attitude
of the natives toward them is very Varia-

Quoting from a correspondent who wrote

general order blaming officers who wasted
their precious time in useless criticism of
their superiors and threatening them with
severe punishment.

lanes Street Ground Beneath Cars
Letters Welcoming Him Back
from Loving Mother"
PARENTS ARE. NOTIFIED

With a letter from his mother in his coat

the employ of the Big Four Railroad Com
pany was knocked or fell, from the top
of box car in the railroad yards near the
South Pine-street crossing of the Big Four
Railroad about 10 o'clock last night and
was ground to pieces. The body was re-
moved to the undertaking establishment of
Flanner & Buchanan.
1t is believed by railroad men that Street
was struck by the bridge over the railroad
tracks at Pine street and knocked be-

the engineer stopped the cut and the mem

mother at Memphis, Ind. Though the let

that Street had read it several times.
1t was just letter from a mother to her
son. Lovingly she told her boy how glad
she was that he was once again near his
boyhood home. She pictured in VIVID
phrase how glad she would be to see the
boy once again. Father is not WE'LL" one
part of the letter said. "Come home when

And the signature. Just the simple words.

the story of a mothers love for her wan

of the letter, showing he had read it while
at work.
1t is believed Street forgot the location
of the bridge and was standing with his

crushed and the body ground into pieces

THREE TRAINS LOST FOR
TWO WEEKS IN A STORM
Twenty Passengers and Train
Crews Held Prisoners by Big
Snow Drifts in Montana.
ONLY HOPE is A THAW

LEWISTOWN, Mont, March 4-Some-
where between here and Lombard, nobody
knows just where, three trains, one
freight and two mixed passengers, have
been buried in snowdrifts for two weeks.
For three weeks the railroad to Lewistown.
the famous "Jawbone" road of central Mon
tana. running 115 miles through Fergus
county, has been completely blocked. Snow
plows, with big gangs of men, have been
bucking the drifts night and day, but snow
falls almost daily. The missing trains have
not been reached. and IL Is probable they
will not be until a thaw sets in. The two
mixed trains carried about twenty passen-
gers. The crew of the freight train man
aged to reach Harlowtown and procured
provisions. and it is believed the snowbound
passengers on the other trains have sue
ceeded in reaching some of the ranches
where they are being taken care of.

CAPT. FRANKLIN WILL NOT
LOSE SHOULDER STRAPS
Finding of Court marital Is Taken
as Vindication, Only Slight
Repri1nand Being Given.
WANTED AN ACQUITTAL

After three hours deliberaton, during
which Capt. Harry M. Franklin was called
before the body. the court-martial sitting to
hear charges of malfeasance against him
reached conclusion yesterday afternoon at
3:45 o'clock The finding was transmitted
to Brig Gen. VIII ]. Mckee. the conven-
ing officer, after the members of the court
martial had paid their respects to Governor
Durbin.
Under the finding Captain Franklin will
be restored to his rank, will not be visited
with penalty and beyond slight reprimand
for a technical violation of Charge will
be cleared of all blame in connection with
the charges.
This information was given the Journal
yesterday afternoon by leading member
of the court-ma rtial, who confirmed the re-
port that Captain Eranklin would not lose
his shoulder scraps.
Behind the verdict, the terms of which
are here given for the first time, lies a con-
tention which prolonged the court-martial
long beyond it's allotted length. over the
question of Frankln's complete exonera-
ton, or of partial acquittal, the members
were at issue.
The majority of the court-martial, in
Guiding all the younger military officers.
contended for complete acquittal, while a
few Of the others wished Captain Franklin
to be reprimanded for Charge ?
The finding is a compromise and the pen
atty is based upon technicality. This is
accepted by the officers friends a COM
plete vindication and one which the captain
accepts as eXoneratiOn.
The terms of the finding cannot be con-
firmed until General Mckee issues general
orders on the court-martial accepting their
finding When this is done the incident
will be closed and Captain Franklin will
be restored TO full military rank.
He will resume his position as soon as
General McKee's orders are issued" was
the statement of another member of the
collrt-mnrtial Yesterday.

CLEVELAND. o.. March 4.-With the
temperature only few degrees above the
zero mark, thousands of people dependent
upon natural gas for fuel in their homes
here are suffering intense cold to-day be-
cause of the washing away of the gas
mains of the East Ohio Gas Company lead
ing from here to the West Virginia gas
fields. The supply of natural gas falIed
early yesterday morning owing to destruc-
tive floods and landslide near Sandyville,
o., where the big pipes were broken and
carried away. In addition TO suffering from
the low temperature many people were
compelled to eat cold breakfasts to-day.
Manufacturing plants in which natural gas
is used have closed down until the mains
are repaired. Similar conditions prevail at
Akron and other towns supplied with fuel
from the same source.
