TOLSTOI GRIEVES
OVER WAR SPIRIT
OF HIS PEOPLE

PARIS, April "a correspondent OF
the Figaro cables an interview with
Count Tolstoi on the subject Of the war,
in which the author declared that the
first duty of thinking beings was to
abolish war. He refused to admit that
a Russian victory would mean the
spread Of civilization, and said he was
not convinced that civilization was
found in Europe merely because the
Europeans had created artificial needs,
such as railways and telegraphs. add
ing:
1T Is not by these modern inventions
that we must judge the development Of
the human mentality"
Asked whether he had not made some
reservation on the subject Of the prac-
tical application of the ideas which he
preached, Tolstoi said:
ITO be quite sincere, I am not en-
tirely freed from the notion of patriot
ism and 1 feel that it persists, despite
myself, owing to atavism and educa-
ton; but when / examine my funda-
mental duty / say unreservedly that
no reason in the world stands before
the reasons Of humanity, and my con-
science tells me that slaughter. under
whatever pretext, is execrable; that
war is monster scourge, and that
everything leading to war is to be utter
ly condemned"

Three Japanese Armies
to Operate in the
War Zone.

SHANGHAI, April "A letter from
Kobe, Japan. says that the Japanese
Government has 100000 troops In mo-
tion and fully $4,000 additional men
under arms in garrisons and depots.
This is exclusive of the third army
reserves, numbering 10000 men, who
have not yet been called out. The
exact number of the troops which have
already departed for certain destina-
tions is unknown. but the entire first
army corps has been landed and estab-
lished in Northwestern Korea, with
Chenampho as its main base. The
general staff still carefully guards its
plan of campaign. but it is generally
believed it will operate three armies,
nominally of 100000 men each, the
second landing west of the Yalu River
and the third east of Newchwang.
The latter two landings can be easily
rons can protect both movements. 1t
is believed that the landing of heavy
force of men west of the mouth of the
Yalu will force the Russians to aban-
don the fortifications which they have
been erecting north of the Yalu for
the purpose of opposing the crossing
of the first army from Korea.
1t is expected that the three great
forces could then operate in conjunc-
ton, the third army corps swinging
eastward from Newchwang, seizing or
cutting the railway, then engaging in
turning movement against the main
Russian position.
The Japanese Government is con-
f1dent that the Russians will be unable
to transport sufficient supplies to
maintain in Manchuria force larger
than 10000 men, heavy detachments
of which will be necessary to guard
the railway and bases of supply, re-
ducing the fighting force to the neigh
borhood of 100000 men.
Japan has been requisitioning thou
sands of horses and it is probable that
considerable detachment of cavalry
Will accompany each army corps The
horses of the cavalrymen seem in
ferior, but the officers say they will
satisfactorily accomplish any work
mapped out for them.
Much Japanese artillery is depart
ing for the front. 1t seems light. but
it is believed they have a number of
heavy batteries equal in range TO the
best modern field artillery. Japan also
possesses a large number of excellent
mountain batteries, which in a rough
country will give them distinct ad-
vantage over the Russians in this re-
spect.
1t seems certain that Admiral Togo's
failure to effectively dispose of the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur has de-
layed land operations. A general thaw
is now proceeding in Korea and Man
churia, which renders the roads of
both countries impossible, so that it
will be impossible to conduct active
operations until the ground hardens.

which, considering the existence of
war, is regarded as highly satisfac-
tory.
1t is generally believed that the
Japanese will not attack Newchwang.
1t Is thought that their opportunity
has passed. The Russian forces are
ready and prepared to defend the
place. The task of the japanese, If
they should be eventually successful,
is becoming daily more difficult.

no LIKELIHOOD
OF DEMONSTRATION
AGAINST HEBREWS

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The State
Department has received the following
cablegram from Mccormick, the Amer
lean ambassador at st. Petersburg:
"A rumor concerning a possible dem
onstration against the Jews at Odessa
having reached me, 1 communicated
with the United States Consul there,
asking him if it were well founded.
He replied to me as follows:
Reports of anti-Jewish demonstra-
ton are not unusual at this season of
the year. Owing to the occurrence of
last Easter, the Hebrew population is
exceedingly nervous: but, with so en-
ergetic and humane man as Governor
Niedhardt in charge in the city and
with Baron Kaulbars as commander
of the troops in the southern country.

any kind as impossible During the

have contained notices to the public,

that they will be dealt with severely !"

Fate Of Missionaries

for Anxiety.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Mrs. n. F.
Scranton, missionary to Korea of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
who is now at home on leave, received
letter to-day from Miss Josephine o.
Paine, principal of the Methodist Girls
School at Seoul, dated March l. The
letter says in part:
First, about our Pingyang mission
aries. The women and children have
everything packed, ready to leave as
soon as they can be brought away, but
as yet transport can go no farther
north than Haichou. DR.. Allen, the
American Minister. says if it becomes
necessary he will have them come over
land to that place and have the trans
port meet them there. On Saturday
morning the Japanese met a number
of Russian scouts somewhere near
kijas grave. near Pingyang, but they
retreated as soon as they were fired
upon. The Japanese are keeping the
ground warm between here and Ping
yang Every day for more than two
weeks they have been pouring into
Seoul. and every morning for the past
week or ten days they have been leav-
ing for Pingyang.
We are feeling a little anxious about
the people at Siancheng. DR.. Allen
telegraphed for the women and chill
dren TO go to Pingyang. They tele-
graphed back for coolies and said they
must bring their food TO last going
and coming. DR., Allen has word that
Miss Kearns and Miss Samuels have
reached Pingyang, but as yet Mrs.
Ross, Mrs. Sharrocks, their four chill
dren and Miss Shields Cthese ladies are
Presbyterian missionaries) had not yet
arrived
Seoul is full of Japanese troops.
They are even quartering them on the
Koreans. In all the large houses the
women have been put in the back
rooms and the front rooms have been
given to the soldiers. / do not need
TO mention prices, for We are paying
war prices. About the 1st of January,
when Miss Frey and l saw what was
coming, we bought rice and beans
enough to keep the school children from
being hungry until late in the spring.

dition, which is fortunate, as the stores
are already running out"

AMERICAN FLAG
NOT HAULED DOWN
IN NEWCHWANG

WASHINGTON, April Another
war canard, having for its object the
widening of the breach between Rus
sia and America, has been exploded.
Some days ago a British correspon-
dent sent an account of the hauling
down of an American flag by the
Russian authorities in Newchwang and
the story was given wide circulation
in the press of Europe and this coun-
try. 1t was followed the next day by
another to the effect that an apology
had been made to the American Con-
sui in Newchwang and the flag re-
hoisted with proper ceremony.
An official of the State Department
said to-day that Consul Miller at
Newchwang had reported no occur
rences Of the kind mentioned. but, on
the contrary, cablegrams received from
him as late as yesterday stated that
his relations with the Russian authori-
ties were most cordial and that the
latter were showing great considera-
tion in the treatment accorded for
eigners.
The account Of the hauling down Of
the flag evidently was manufactured
out of whole cloth.

editorial on the falsity OF sentiment

Herald Publishing Company.
PARIS, April "A military expert
thus discusses the Far Eastern situa-
ton in this mornings Paris edition of
the Herald:
"An dispatches agree in stating
that the japanese army concentrated
toward Anju is making a movement
toward the Yalu, driving before it
weak detachments of Cossacks. who
are retiring on its approach, but keep
ing in contact with it.
The main column, which follows
the chief road, Will have occupied

must have given birth to this strategic
conception of such great energy, it

able 10 disembark on the east side of
Liaotung Gulf, will doubtless make an
attempt TO throw one or more army
corps into the bay of Korea toward
the point where the Tayangho dis
charges itself. in order TO take in the
rear the Russian troops defending the
Yalu or to aim at Tuiyan and Hal
cheng for the purpose of marching on

Anju.
The Russians viii probably hold
back from accepting a decisive battle
until after they have drawn this army
upon their own chosen field near the
line of Mukden. daoyang and Hal

operations, and this supposition re-
ceives some support from the report
that a Russian army is concentrating

VICTORIA, B. c., April 4.-R. L
MCGOWAN, an American businss man,
who has spent many years among the
Russians, both in Europe and Asia,
arrived by the steamer Agamemnon
from Yokohama. He says that nothing
but a miracle can save Russia from
humiliation and disastrous defeat at
the hands of the Japanese. Russia's
army, navy and civil service are hon
eycombed with corruption and mutiny
to an extent utterly beyond belief. The
Trans-Siberian Railway is a complete
failure. The Japanese know to
nicely Russia's strength in East Asia
and count upon a six years war. They
know the Russians have no supplies
and cannot get any except by driblets
from Europe.
