PROPOSED BUREAU
TO AID SETTLERS

Washington, d. C-Feb 29.-Com-
Army is at the capital in the interest
OF a proposed government colonization
bureau which is to be operated in con-
junction with the reclamation act OF
June II, 1902. Commander Tucker
states that he had worked up the pro-
posed legislation under the direction
and with the cooperation of the late
Senator Hanna, who would have intro
duced the bill to carry it into effect.
had he lived. Commander Tucker now
is seeking aid from Senator Fairbanks
of Indiana, who, doubtless, will take
charge of the measure.
The bill has been carefully prepared.
and has been submitted to eminent le-
gal authorities and pronounced prac-
ticable. and the plan feasible. The
proposition, briefly is this:
l. The formation of a colonization
bureau under the directions of COM
missioner of colonization, in connection
with the Department of the Interior
2. The collection by the bureau of
reliable information for the would-be
settlers.
3. The advancing to the bona fide
settlers of from $500 to 81 500 in, cash
or materials for the purpose of en-
abling worthy. but poor families, to
make homes for themselves upon the
lands.
4. The issue of three per cent sixty
year gold bonds to the amount of $780,
000.000,' not more than $1,000, 900 to be
issued per year for such colonization
purposes.
s. The establishment of worthy
families on farms which are not to ex-
coed forty acres Of irrigated, or eighty
acres Of non-irrigated land, to be paid
for in easy installments.
The main objects Of the bill are.
briefly:
1. In the words of President Roose-
welt. ito give every man who wants it
chance to get home on the land"
2. Again quoting the Presidents
words. ito check the trend of the popu-
lation to the cities, and turn it back
to the land"
manless land
employed land by means of unemployed
capital and thereby convert this trinity
of waste into unity of production.
s. To mitigate the friction between
capital and labor.
G. To assist the worthy poor with
out pauperizing them.
T. To find way out for the middle
aged workingman who is, at present.
not wanted by the employer. and who.
in case OF losing his position, finds 1t
exceedingly difficult to get another.
Commander Tucker states that there
is no doubt that the proposed plan can
BIZ put on working and paying basis.
He instances the example of New Zea-
land. where, in 1894, THE Advance to.
Settlers Act" was passed, and where
$1S.000,O00 have been advanced on
lands. the same as outlined in the pro-
posed legislation for this country.

FRANCE EXPECTS
RETURN OF PEACE

Paris, Feb. 28.-Reports of interna-
tional entanglements growing out of
the war continue to occupy a promi-
nent place in the sensational press.
But within week the officials of
the government who are in close and
constant touch with the cabinets of
other capitals, have satisfied them
selves, first. that no international COM
plications are imminent, or likely at
least for the present; second, that
France is in no present or prospective
danger of being embroiled in any in
ternational complications.
The recent bourse panic brought
about a rather thorough survey Of the
situation throughout Europe, as the
heavy decline in securities resulted
mainly from fears that the European
powers might be drawn into the con-
flict.
The inquiries disclosed that. while
the possibilities of unexpected compli-
cations are always present there Is no
immediate reason to expect European
complications, the military activities
at various points being the natural re-
suit Of war between two great powers.
Concerning the ability of France to
hold aloof from the war, the officials
base their belief on the experience of
the first few weeks of the hostilities.
At first the determination to observe
neutrality brought out sentimental
reaction favorable to Russia, with pop
ular demonstrations and subscriptions
in behalf of that country.
The authorities have now been able
to take into account all the various
currents. the result being a firm con-
viction that France will not have her
hand forced by International agitation
or external complications.

JAPANESE FLEET ATTACKS PORT ARTHUR.
KUR0PATKlN WANTS FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN

The surprising and almost astound-
inG latest news is that General kuro-
patkin will not go to the front as was
previously announced in three days
time, but not for several weeks. The
reason for this, is that it is not worth
while for him to go there until 100000
Russian soldiers are gathered at the
seat of war. In fact, he cannot take
the offensive until that number is
Forthcoming. The present force avail
able outside of the heavy contingent
guarding the railroad does not exceed
1876, 600 men.
General Kuropatkin, it is remem-
bered, was recently in Japan, where
he formed a very high opinion of the
efficiency of the Japanese troops. 1t
may also be recollected that he be-
longs to the anti-war party. At re-
cent audience with the Emperor, Cen
eral Kuropatkin spoke very openly
about the necessity of his having a
large number of troops, and he is fur
Their credited with having said: Your
majesty will need me back soon to
look after European developments"
and very propably the key to this is
given in the statement of a widely
known Russian international Jurist,
who says it is quite possible that Rus
STA will wage war concerning the Thi-
betan question, but with Thibet the
only ostensible cause to be used in
case England should make any move
of too friendly nature toward Japan.

GREAT FIRE
AT ROCHESTER

Rochester, N. Y. Feb. 27.-At sunset
streams of water on the ruins Of most
of the retail dry goods quarter Of Ro-
chester.
Three of the five department stores
in Rochester were consumed in yes
terday's fire. which caused a loss of
more than s3.OOO,OOO. The Sibley,
Lindsay & Curr Company, the largest
retail store in Rochester, was de-
stroyed.
OF the loss, $735,OOO represents
buildings and the remainder stocks
and furnishings. 1t is said that $500
persons were thrown out of work by
the fire.
The burned region lies on the north
side of Main street, between st. Paul
street and Clinton avenue, north, run
ming from St. Paul street almost the
entire length of the block.
The fire started in the store OF the
Rochester Dry Goods Company and
worked west, burning only one store
east of this establishment, that of the
Walkover Shoe Company, before its
progress was checked in that direc-
ton.
Next was the store of the Beadle-
Sherburne Company, which was de-
stroyed.
Then the Marble block, occupied by
the Sibley, Lindsay & Curr Company.
was destroyed and finally the thirteen
story Granite building, the lower part
of which was also occupied by the Sib-
ley, Lindsay & Curr Company, and the
upper part occupied by Offices, was at
tackled
The Sibley, Lindsay & Curr Compa-
ny's six-story wholesale building was
destroyed, with all its valuable con-
tents, this loss being placed at 81 ,450, :
900.
There were some frame dwellings
and a livery stable on Division street,
a narrow thoroughfare running in the
rear of the burned stores, and these
were damaged by water and falling
walls.
No one was injured except Assistant
Chief Frank A. Jaynes, who was struck
by a flying nozzle.
The power on the trolley line run
ming along along Main street was cut
off to avoid danger from electricity,
and no cars have run through the
block where the fire occurred all day.
All other traffic has been stopped and
probably will not be resumed until
Monday.
Following. are the largest losses:
Granite building. 100000; Marble
building, $4,000; Cornwell building,

Verdict Against Rouse.

Denver, March Judge johnson
yesterday brought the suit of the State
VS.. Van e. Rouse to close by render
SlS,466.64 which he withdrew from the
Worlds Fair appropriation and refused
to return after his removal as treasurer
OF the board. No interest was charged
for the time the money was withheld.
although Judge Johnson expressed his
opinion that the funds were improper
ly withdrawn The matter of Rouse's
removal from the board was not passed
upon.
Rouse Immediately gave notice Of ap-
peal, which was granted, twenty days
being the time stipulated. and the ap-
peal bond was fixed at 10000.
The opinion was expressed yesterday
that the case would not be appealed, as
in that event the state would ask the
Supreme Court to charge Rouse eight
per cent interest for the entire time
the money would be tied up, which
would amount to the sum of about $120
per month.
The fear expressed heretofore that
the money which Rouse was directed to
ray back to the state treasury would
revert to the general fund and be lost

the end of the fiscal year. was set at
rest yesterday, as 1t is stated authors
tetively that the money was appro-
priated as special fund and was en-
tirely subject to the demands of the
board at any time.

korean-Japanese Treaty.

Paris, Feb 2S.-An official said to-
day that the new Korean-Japanese
treaty had been the occasion for put
ting out a number of reports calculat-
ed to foment discord between France
and Korea, and perhaps force the hand
of France in relation to other powers,
particularly Russia.
The authorities had taken note that
the reports emanated from high jap
anese sources. But, the official de-
clared, French policy was definitely
fixed to maintain neutrality and re-
frai nfrom the slightest active partici-
patton in the war and this will not be
changed by the Korean-Japanese
treaty or other vents. SO far as posi-
bly, can be foreseen at present.

hent circles that Japan will not ask

London, Feb. PA dispatch to a
news agency from st. Petersburg says
the official report of Major General
Plug. chief of staff of Viceroy Alexieff,
nm the details of the attack on Port Ar
thur during the morning of February
25th is as follows:
1.-THE enemy's squadron of sixteen
warships approached from the Dalny
side toward the harbor of Port Arthur
about IL o'clock this morning, and at
once opened fired on our three cruisers
outside the roadstead, namely, the Ask
old, the Bayan and the Novik, and
also against the land forts. The bonn
bardment lasted half an hour. At the
conclusion our cruisers retired into the
harbor. The enemy then bombarded
one land battery for several minutes.
Then the enemy also retreated, remain
ing out of the range of our guns.
I'm the meanwhile, four Japanese
cruisers separated from the enemy's
main squadron and went into Golubins-
ia bay, where they opened heavy fire
on one of our torpedo boats stationed
in the bay, and also on the coast bat
teries. Consequently the commander
of the fort sent troops to this point.
but no landing took place. The COM
bardment there lasted twenty-five min
utes. at the expiration of which the
Japanese cruisers retreated. The loss
on our side this day was one man
wounded in one of the land batteries.

70 Cover Other Moves.

st. Petersburg. Feb. 27.-There is a
difference of opinion among the naval
and military officers in regard to the
purpose Of the Japanese forces at Port
Arthur, but the prevailing opinion is
that it is to effect diversion to cover
their movements elsewhere. A high
naval officer said:
II cannot understand what the Japa-
nese hoped to accomplish. They for
got that the days of wooden inflam-
mable ships are past. II their object
really was to block the channel. Dor
rowing the idea from the exploit of
the Merrfmac, 1t was equally futile, as
it would be easy to clear the entrance
by blowing up the wreck. We believe
the Japanese activity at Port Arthur
was a feint to engross our attention
while they continue the disembark-
alton Of troops in Korea. do not be-
lieve that at this time they will at
tempt a landing in force on the Lao
Tung peninsula"
The idea that the Japaneses serious
ly contemplate bombardment Of Port
Arthur, inviting the exposing of their
ships to plunging fire from the guns
on Golden hill is regarded by military
experts as absurd.
