tremely Difficult.
Shanghai, April 6.-It is not believed
that the Russian troops between An
Tung and Chu Tien Tung (about ten
miles north Of An Tung), comprise the
main Russian force, and consequently
the engagement which is looked for at
or near these places probably VIII not
be decisive. but only a forerunner OF
larger operations.
The Russians are constructing en-
trenchments at several points on tho
Halu and Tumen rivers. These en-
trenchments, however, are not yet COM
pleted, and if the Japanese succeed in
forcing their way past one lire of de-
lenses it would give them a distinct adj
vantage and make ii more difficult for
the Russians to concentrate and oppose
them.

clever schemes which had been con-
cocted for their especial benefit.
An attempt to reorganize the Demo-
cratic party, in which Cleveland

member Of the club had recently been
appointed chief, was opened and some
curious and unheard-of letters relat-
ing to prominent guests were un-
earthed.
The musical feature was one Of the

IS ASPHYXIATED
Gas Escaping From a Small

Her While She Is Asleep
LIFELESS WHEN FOUND
Brother of Victim Is DiscOv-
cred in an Adjoining Room
Delirious From Fever
Special Dispatch to The calI.

Los ANGELES, Dec. 10.-Miss An
ME L. Peabody, sister of Josiah c.
Peabody, was asphyxiated at her home
on Boyle Heights tonight under par
tcularly pathetic circumstances. With
her brother who for years has been
newspaper man here, she lived on the
lower floor of fiat. About $3.50 o'clock
tonight the people upstairs smelled
gas. They made an investigation, but
the gas was so strong that they were
unable to enter the lower part of the
house. Through a window the body of
the woman could be seen, and in an
other room Peabody could be seen in
bed. 1t was supposed both were dead.
Policemen with handkerchiefs over
their faces entered the room where the
woman lay, secured her body and open
ed the windows. Gas was escaping
from small stove. The gas had not
reached Peabody's room. 1t was found
that he was suffering from typhoid
fever and was Gelirious.
Investigation showed that his sister
had been attending to his wants and
had not slept for forty hours. She had
gone to a small cooking stove, heated
some water and then as she supposed
turned off the gas, but she must have
turned it on again. She was so IA
tigued that after she got into bed she
did not notice the odor and was over
come.
Peabody has not been told of the
death of his sister. He Is now being
cared for by neighbors who knew moth
ing of his illness until tonight.

L. E. WILSON.
The Big Elk mine" he explained,
when asked about the matter, is GER
tainly' excelently located, and the de-
velopment work done places the prop
erty, in my opinion, as one OF the GER
tainties IN GOldfeld. Sometimes pros
poets DO not turn into realities, but in
this instance the company has cause to
be more than satisfied with results"
Following up this train of thought,
he said: In selecting good investment
property, the sensible man looks at 10
cation first. Then, when development
work proves the value Of the claims,
safety is insured The Big Elk is a
case in point. The owners Of the prop
erty were satisfied as soon as work had
fairly commenced, but daily results are
more encouraging. Treasury stock that
was sold at 2 cents a couple Of months
ago now can be had only at 8, and in
my opinion IL is worth 10 to-day"
Mr.. Ewing said that he would gladly
