New Chwang Feb. 16.@VicerOy Alexieff left Port Arthur today, pro- ceeding to Harbin with General Pflug. chief of staff, and the general staff. It is said that the Russian army and navy commands will be reorganized and that General Kerpditslly will com nand the Yalu division which is eS- pecting to be attacked by the Japanese forces.
 Atrocities are daily perpetrated on foreigners and natives both by the or ganized police and the incoming troops which makes it impossible for the civil administrators of New Chang to con- trol he situation. It is feared that a reign of terror will be precipitated if the neutral powers remain inactive. A captain of the police with ten soldiers, without any provocation, destroyed the contents of q hotel owned by a German where three Japanese had registered under protection of the civil adminis- traitors.
 These Japanese were bound, stabbed and robbed of food. money and jewelry They were rescued with difficulty by United States Consul Miller, together with three women refugees. who the civil administrator had assured MT. Miller would he protected. The ad- ministra ton admits the gravity of the situation but declared that Niceroy Alexieff alone can remedy it. It IS be- | lieVed here, however, that the main- tenance of order at this treaty port and the prevention of these violations of International rights can be insured

The correspondent at Chemulpo of the Daily Express, makes the astonish- ing statement that Japan has already landed 120,000 troops in Korea, SO,OO0 of whom are extended along the fight ing front south of the Yalu river. No war news of importance appears in the London papers this morning, but the press attaches the greatest significance to the departure of Viceroy AlexieIf from Port Arthur and comments upon the sudden throwing of Russian troops into New Chwang as indicating Rus sian apprehensions that Port Arthur is in danger and the Japanese attack may not after all be made where it is ex- pected, OF the Yalu.
 All the reports tend to confirm the impression That Russia has little ol nothing to expect from sea ~opel a. tions.
 According to a dispatch To the Pari: edition of the New York Herald, 40t torpedoes, being two thirds of Rus sia's available supply of these articles were destroyed on board the Russian cruiser Variag.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 16.-Capt. Sep anoff, who was blown up with the torpedo gun boat Yenisei and who himself invented the system for lay ing submarine mines which is con sidcred responsible for the catas- trophe had caused the Yenisei to be fitted with his device for the rapid laying of mines whereby trolley line extended beyond the vessels stern, along which the mines slid out and dropped into their appointed places. This plan did away with the cumber- some work of laying mines from small boats. The accident was due to the excessive strain on the Yenisefs an chor cables while the mines were sus- pended pending the immersion. The two cables snapped and one mine col lided with another.

 "The death of Senator Hanna is a distinct loss to the cause of industrial peace. The latter years of his life were given to the promotion of the work of reconciling the interests of employees and employers. I enjoyed the friendship of Senator Hanna and to an unusual degree-his confidence in matters of this kind, and I know of many things he has done, of many sacrifices he has made, in the interest of organized workingmen, for which he neither sought nor received credit | His efforts as chairman of the na- l tional civic federation brought him | into close relationship with nearly all the trade union movements and he l had the trust and respect of all of ! them"
 1 Wm. D. Huber. president of the United Brotherhood Of Carpenters and Joiners, said:
 ! 'In the death of Senator Hanna I feel this country has lost one of it's | greatest statesmen and leaders, enc whose loss will be felt among all men, one who dared to do and say what he thought was right irrespective of what the opposition contended for. He had done much toward bringing about amicable relations and settlements of disputes between employer and em- ployee and was the staunchest friend the trade unionists had in the poli- tical arena
 President Jas. Lynch of the Interna- tional Typographical Union, said
 Occupying such a commanding Dc- sition in public life Senator Hanna wielded an influence that was prolific in results, and his tolerant and reason able attitude on the questions that are causing strife between capital and labor created a better feeling and 3
 better understanding on the part Oi the disputants and the public gener-
 ally. The sentiment thus created vii
