JAPANESE HOSPITAL BUILDINGS AT cHEMULPo

Of Manchuria. The place, with General
Kuroki advancing on the road to Lao
Yang, was untenable by the Russians,
unless they elected to remain and
undergo siege, and so the place was
abandoned and the military stores sent
northward to Lao Yang. With the
exception of Port Arthur, the whole Of
the Lao Tong peninsula now remains
In Japanese possession and probably
another week will see all of Manchu-
ria, south Of Musden. In the grasp of
the AIilado's soldiers.
1t Is probable that Japanese army
will take possession Of New Chwang
and march forward toward LAO Yang
to effect a junction with General
Kuroki.
The Russian retreat, however,
greatly strengthens the position Of
General Kuropatkin. Formerly his
forces were scattered from New
Chwang, in the west, half way up the
Yalu River, in the east. Ignorance of
the Japanese plan Of campaign and the
uncertainty of where the Japanese
would strike rendered necessary this
disposition. Now the Japanese plans
of action are fairly well revealed and
General Kuropatkin is concentrating
his forces to meet the enemy's adj
vance With the exception of the gar
rison at Port Arthur there are now no
Russian soldiers further south In Man
churia than Lao Yang. What force
General Kuropatkin has at his disposal
is carefully concealed. 1t Is said by
some that 10000 men, outside the gar
risons, constitute the fighting forces Of
Russia in the Far East and from Paris
comes the rumor that 1t Will be July 81
before the last of the reinforcements
which Kuropatkin needs for offensive
operations shall have been dispatched
from Europe. BY that time 1t is assert
ed he will have 100000 under him.
Meantime 100000 reserves have been
called to the coiors and Russia in fur
ther preparation for the struggle has
placed loan in Paris for $3.50, 100000.
Much interest centers in Port Ar
thur, which the japanese will soon for
mally besiege. Before they can strike
the place 1t will be necessary to force
the strong earthworks defending the
narrow neck of land forming the en-
trance to Kwan Tung promontory.
Meantime the rumor Of sending the
Baltic fleet to the Far East Is again
revived. 1t Is said in st. Petersburg
that the feet, consisting of eleven iron
clads and seventeen cruisers. will leave
Cronstadt in July and will round AT

JAP BOAT BLOWN UP.

Hfiyako Destroyed, Two Men Killed and
TWENTY-FIVE Wounded.
The Japanese dispatch boat Miynko
was destroyed in Kerr bay by striking a
submerged mine. The Miyako was lost
while assisting in the operations Of clear

northeast Of Talienwan bay, on which
Port Dalny Is situated. Admiral Ka-
taoka, commander of the third squad

ordered to complete sweeping the harbor

were discovered ard exploded and the

circumstances last Thursday would serve
as warning to those engaged in the
work to exercise the greatest care.
The Miyako was steel cruiser Of
800 tons displacement and 6,130 indi-
Gated horse power, completed in 1901,
and having an estimated speed of twenty
knots. She WINS 314A feet long, had 36
feet beam and drew 1914 feet of water.
Her armament consisted of two 4.7-inch
quick-fring guns and ten 1.S-inch guns
and four torpedo tubes.

Possibly Mr.. Bryan wishesto seem
that his friends and not he are

nificant that as soon as he returns to
the state capitol the man closest to

begins disseminating information that
energies must be directed to electing
a democratic legislature in order to
give Mr.. Bryan the senatorial toga.
The issues on which Mr.. Bryan will

of republicanism Dietrich stands for.
The upheaval is at hand, say the demo
cratic leaders, and Mr.. Bryan believes
lit possible in the present situation
brought about by the tyranny of the
railroads and the faint of the Dietrich
scandal to make both branches OF the
legislature safely democratic.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 1S.-The czar'S
assurance, given at the winter palace
Jan. IA, on the occasion of the New
Years reception, that he desired and
intended to do all in his power to
maintain peace in the far east, is re-
garded by the foreign diplomats as q
guarantee that Russia will recognize
the open ports and other concessions
in Manchuria.
This will, it is thought, place the
onus of a rupture on Japan. Most Of
the newspapers here join in a peaceful
chorus, one paper remarklng, now
ever, that it was strange for Russians
to first hear of the cars words by
way of America.

reports of the offer OF good offices

Washington.
Washington, Jan. Is. Governor
Van SAINT arrived in Washington last
night, and will remain here several
days. To-day he appeared before the
rivers and harbors committee with
other members of committee repre-
senting the Mississippi River I'M
provement association, and is conf
dent judging from the questions
asked. that some Legislation for deep
ening the upper river will be enacted.
Since arriving in Washington the
governor has learned about the wide
spread character of the opposition to
the president. and has listened with
a good deal of interest to the sugges-
ton, which has been made him by
several of the presidents good friends,
that he use his influence to have the
Minnesota convention to select dele
gates at large to the Chicago conven-
ton not later than the first part of
March, so as to prevent the POSSIBLE
ity of any danger.
Van SAINT thinks this good idea
and on his return he will take the
matter up at once with Judge Jami-
son. 1t is believed here that after
the delegates at large are elected they
should be instructed for Roosevelt
and that they should then come out in
an interview announcing him as their
choice. This is not suggested because
of any idea that Minnesota is not for
Roosevelt but purely by way of pre-
caution.
Similar plans are to be carried out
in a number of states, and it is likely
that the delegates at large will be
chosen this year earlier than usual
The danger to the president is no.
immediate, nor. so far as can be seen
is 1t really serious, but there is enough
in the situation to demand greater
precaution on the part of the presi
dents friends. and constant watchful
ness. Indeed. the situation is Yer,
unsatisfa Glory. so far as Roosevelt il
concerned. This statement is made
advisedly and with ample authority.
The governor to-day called at thu
department of justice and TALKED
about the Northern Securities case

court will sustain the government

he was held in Jail until the grand

The former voted against the treaty
and Mr.. Money stated that he had not
yet had time to consider it.
The three amendments relate to
sanitation, the limitation of cities and

United States more direct power.
The other amendments define the
limits of Panama and Colon in rela-
ton to the canal zone and give the

the draw is made for the Flour City

this noon, it was decided to eliminate
the amendment to the playing rules
which was passed Jan. 16. This
amendment limited the open events to
the Duluth jobbers' trophy, the ST
Paul jobbers' trophy, and the Cana
dian 500 trophy. The elimination OF
the amendment adds the Flour City
Curling club and J. e. Meyers tro-

these will be played off according to
