NO SIEGE OR FALL OF
 PORT ARTHUR JUST YET
MAJOR PPLUG TELEGRAPHS 4
 SWEEPING DENIAL.

Japanese Plan of Campaign on Land
 Reported to be the Crossing of the
 YaIu and the Investment of Port Ar thur Simultaneously - outposts of
 Both Sides but Short Distance Apart
 at the yaIu.
 St. Petersburg, April 1S.-Major Pfug, chief of the military staff at Port Ar thur, telegraphs that all the statements regarding siege and fall of Port Ar thur are lunfounded.
 Paris, April 1S.-A dispatch to the Temps from St. Petersburg says the Japanese are preparing to cut the Rus sian line of communication along the peninsula of Liao Tung at the same time that they cross the Yalu river.
 St. Petersburg, April 1s.-A detach- ment of Russian troops (which left Southern Ussuri has reached Maoer Shan Con the west bank of the Yalu river, 175 miles north of Ping Yang) without having encountered the enemy. The detachment has occupied a noun tain pass between Manchuria and Corea which it is fortifying with mountain batteries.
 i St. Petersburg is flooded with riimors from ali directions regarding the plans of the Japanese now that the Russian ] fleet at Port Arthur is unable to longer menace their troop transports. The Associated Press, in a dispatch from Port Arthur Sunday last, gave twenty as the number of Japanese 1 transports reported as having been sighted steaming in the direction of Yin Row, the seaport of New Chwang Officials of the general staff, while hav- ing no information in this respect, would not be surprised if the number should turn out to be even larger than reported. They anticipated this move ment at the outbreak of the war, but the activity of vice-Adniral Makaroff' s fleet and the large army in the vicinity of New Chwang imposed caution and, lit Is believed, made the Japanese aban- don or at least postpone, it. and caused them to continue their advance toward Manchuria through Corea and consider a decentralization and flank movement at Takushan.
 I vice-Admiral Togo's immense superb ority enables him to hold the Russian squadron in Port Arthur and enables Japanese transports, therefore, to safe- ly pass through the Straits of Pc Chi u and attempt to land at the head of the Gulf of Liao Tung under the guns of the warships. If this should succeed the Japanese will be in an excellent position to execute a flank movement on Liao Yang or cut off Port Arthur.

NORTHERN SECURITIES
 COMPANY SUSTAINED
STOCK DISTRIBUTION SUIT IN
 NEW JERSEY.

Judge Bergen, of Court of Chancery,
 DIsmisses Application for an Injunc-
 tion to Prevent Return to Original
 Stockholders of Northern Pacific and
 Great Northern Stock, Exactly on
 Same Terms by Which the Northern
 Securities Acquired It.
 New York, April 1S.-Vice- Chancellor Bergen to-day in the chancery court, Jersey City. dismissed the application for an injunction against the Northern Securities meeting and the distribution of stock, sustaining the Northern se- curities contention that the suit was unwarranted.
 The suit was brought by the Conti- mental Securities company against the Northern Securities company to compel the latter company to return to the original stockholders the Northern Pa cific and the Great Northern stock ex- actly on the same terms by which the Northern Securities company acquired it.
 In announcing his decision Vice Chancellor Bergen stated that there was no question of the right of the Northern Securities company to reduce it's capital stock, which action was con- ceded to be legitimate; that no proof had been presented that the proposed method of distribution of the stocks would be an injury to the complainant: that the decision of the United States circuit court of appeals and of the Unit ed States supreme court did not order any distribution of the Northern Pa 1 cific and Great Northern railroad stock or describe any method for their dis tribution, but that the decree simply prevented the Northern Securities com l pany from getting any benefit from the | holding of those stocks; that the stocks of those railroads are actual assets oi ] the Northern Securities company, and may therefore, be distributed to stock 1 holders, as, in the opinion of the court their sale in the market would be tre. mendous injury to the public welfare; and that the methods adopted and here tofore announced for such stock dis tribution are perfectly fair He sait he would have to sustain the conten- tions of the Northern Securities com. pany, and he further remarked that any interference on the part of the court was unwarranted and would work
 hardship on the stockholders of ths | company.

HERO OF FAsHoDA TO BE CON-
 FINED THIRTY DAYS.

Nearly Caused War Between Great
 Britain and France-Recently in an
 Open Letter He Resigned from Army
 and Declared He Had Been sianderea
 and Was Suffering Military ostra-
 cism.
 Paris, April 1S.-Colonel Marchand. the hero of the Fashoda affair. who in an open letter concerning his tender of resignation from the army declared that he had been slandered and was suffering from military ostracism, was placed under arrest tonight. He will be confined for thirty days. His letter of resignation will not be considered until his punishment has expired.
 Colonel Marchand leaped from ob- scurity into world prominence when he raised the French flag at Fashoda, in the extreme southern part of Egypt. The incident occurred several years ago during the progress of the Marchand expedition through French territory in Africa, which finally emerged at Fash oda. Great Britain was greatly irritat- ed over the affair, which came at period when the French pin -priciing policy seemed in the mind of the Brit ish to be at it's height. The lowering of the French flag was demanded, and when France attempted to prolong ne- gotiations the British flying squadrons were organized, the rest of the navy put on a war footing and a great naval demonstration made. War seemed inn minent, but France finally withdrew her flag and force from Fashoda and war was averted. Marchand returned to France and was greeted as great hero
