fuel and provisions for the snow-bound
towns in the Thumb district of Michigan,
worked northward from Port Huron seventy
miles, to-day as far as Bad AK 1t is ex-
pected that the additional twenty miles TO
Port Austin will be covered tomorrow, as
well as the branch line from Palms to Har-
Dor Beach. a passenger train was pushed
through to-day. south from Bad AK to
Port Huron. The Port Huron-Sa ginaw di-
vision Of the Pere Marquette has been re-
opened since the storm of the past three
days, and on other lines Of the Pere Mar
quette train service is resGming normal
conditions. except between Grand Rapids
and Chicago, where trains are still running
from three to four hours late.
On the Grand Trunk no east-bOund freight
has been forwarded to-day. except a couple
Of trains of perishable goods, and only
two trains have been received from the
east. Grand Trunk passenger trains from
the east are now arriving, but several hours
late
The Michigan Central has not resumed
freight service on its Bay City division and
ran only two passenger trains on that di-
vision to-day, instead of the four scheduled.
BUT conditions are greatly improved to-
night, and Ii is expected that tomorrow

At Grand Rapids il is reported that the
lnterurban line connecting Grand Rapids
Grand Haven, Muskegon and Holland is
still out of business

cradle apprehension is felt there regarding
the rapid rise of the St. Joseph river on ac-
count OF the thaw. If the thaW continues
it is expected the ice jam in the river will
break loose and cause great damage to
bridges and dams. The thaw seems to be
general throughout southern Michigan.

RUSSIAN SHIPS AND
MEN IN FIGHTING TRIM

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 5.-A Russian
correspondent of the Associated Press at
Port Arthur teiegraphs as follows;
There is no truth in the report that
freight traffic has been stopped on the Man
churian Railway.
"All the ships of the Russian Pacific
squadron which have been held in reserve
are in full commission.
'"The regiments OF the Third East Sibe-
rian Rifle Brigade which recently left Port
Arthur, are taking temporary stations
along the Chinese railroad.
The Port Arthur garrison has been
strengthened by the arrival there of the
Seventh Brigade of conscripts who have
recently been going through a short course
of training.
Stores of provisions and coal are being
accumulated and all the necessary military
works are being actively pushed forward.
Both the army and the navy are in excel
lent condition and everything is ready for
an emergency: but all are patiently await
ing the outcome of the negotiations
The Russian population is tranquil Very
few Russians are leaving, but many Japan
csc merchants are selling out and going
home. Those remaining here feel entire
confidence in the authorities.
The announcement from VladivostOck that
preparations have been made for the mob
olization of the Manchurian reserves was
premature.
