Scenes at Rarbin.

correspondent en- route to the front,
writing from Harbin, March 19, de-
scribes the scene there as he observed
It,
From all sides soldiers were pour
ing into Harbin. The uncompleted
railroad station there had been trans
formed into a barracks, and almost
every house in the town was occupied
by soldiers.
Pristan, short distance away,
which until recently had been a small
village on the bank of the Sungari
river, had become city with tenn
porary buildings which were being
used by the troops and with stores, a
hotel and restaurants.
The snow-filled streets of the two
cities, at the time the correspondent
wrote, were thronged with picturesque
Cossacks, bearded Siberians, sharp
shooters and galloping orderlies, all
imbued with the fever to get to the
front Merchants and restaurant
keepers, the correspondent adds, were
accused of extortion but money was
cheap.
Spring was coming on though vio-
lent snowstorms continued to rage.

CHANCES FAVOR JAPAN.
Siberian Railway a Failure and Rus.
sian Administration ioneycombed
With Corruption,

Victoria, b. c., April 5.-R. L. Nc
Gowan, an American business man
who has spent many years among3,
the Russians both in Europe and Asia,
has arrived by the steamship Agamem'
non from Yokohama. He says taht
nothing but a miracle can save Russia
from humiiating and disastrous de
feat at the hands of the Japanese
Russia's army, navy and civil services
are honeycombed with corruption and
mutiny to an extent utterly beyond be
lief.
The Trans-Siberian railway is a
complete failure. The Japanese know
to a nicely Russia's strength in East
Asia and count upon a siX-years' war
They know the Russians have no sup
plies and cannot get any except by
dribbles from Europe.
The japanese scheme is to drive the
Russians out of Manchuria, seize Sa
galien island, wrested from them
many years ago and forming the Al
sace-Lorrain6 of the Far East; take
Kamchatka peninsula and so settle the
vexed sealing question, with which
Russia has grievously interfered, dom
mate in Corea and have free entry Ia
Pekin as demanded after the war with
China and blocked by Russia.
The Japanese count Port Arthur and
Vladivostoll as mere incidents in the
campaign and lock upon them as al
ready theirs, The japanese have
made vast preparations and every
move has been calculated
In his opinion the contest is a most
unequal one with every advantage on
the side of the Japanese. Mr.. Nc
Gowan when in the Orient had excep
tional opportunities of acquiring eX-
elusive information. He says the jap
anese would gladly send home every
war correspondent now there, but hes
itate to adopt so radical a step They
are doing all they can Officially to pre-
vent the correspondents doing mis-
chief with premature reports and the
end of the correspondents troubles is
not yet, he says, by long odds.

BOOM FOR WATSON.
Pennsylvania Democrats May Present
His Name to National Convention.

His Name to National Convention.
Pittsburg, April 4.-The Democracy
of Pennsylvania may have candidate
of its own to present to the national
convention for the presidential nomi-
nation in the person Of ID. T. Watson
of Pittsburg. While the party leaders
in this county believe now that an un-
Instructed delegation will be sent to
the convention the launching OF
boom for Mr.. Watson is likely to prove
dangerous to any such plan.
No definite steps have been taken
to have Mr. Watson's name presented
to the state convention of April 19,
but this is largely due to the uncer-
tainty surrounding his desires in re-
gard to the matter.
1t was pointed out by Democrats
who were interviewed on the subject
that the eminent Pi-tsburg attorney,
who was so largely responsible for the
success of the governments effort to
enforce the Sherman antitrust law on
the Northern Securities company.
should be one of the strongest candi-
dates that could be presented.
Local Democrats of all factions who
were approached on the subject de-
clared that Mr. Watson was the logical
candidate. While the followers Of Ma
tional Committeeman Guffey were
chary about being quoted, largely be-
cause of his attitude for an uninstruct-
ed delegation, the private opinions
were decidedly complimentary To
"Pittsburgs candidate"
