READY FOR CONFLICT
Immense Army of the Car
Located Near the Scenes
of Hostilities.

PARIS, April 2.-The Flgaro's st.
Petersburg correspondent telegraphs
as follows:
"a detailed list of the Russian troops
in the Far East was semi-off1cially
communicated to me to-day, and,
though 1 am forbidden to betray the
secrets of mobilization, am allowed to
give the general figures. The list was
drawn upon the evening of March 20
by the general staff at Hardin. There
were then in Manchuria 10000 infant
ry, 1900 cavalry and 256 cannon. OF
this number 10000 infantry, 5000 cav
airy and 50 cannon have been told off
TO guard the railway.
Although the bulk Of the troops is
concentrated opposite Korea, the
strategical front extends 1900 kilo-
meters from .Tladivostok to Niauch-
wang, on the left bank of the Lao
River, the right bank being considered
neutral territory
BY June rs 10000 more infantry.
$4,000 cavalry and 25O cannon will have
been sent out.
1T is estimated that the Japanese
troops landed do not exceed $4,000;
and that 100000 are waiting until the
commissariat is assured before being
transported, las it is impossible to feed
them in Korea"
The St. Petersburg. correspondent of
the Echo de Paris says that in accord
ance with a desire of Vice Admiral
Makaroff' the Nevski yards are send
ing to Port Arthur by rail eighteen
torpedo boats of the Cyclone type, Ca
pable of making thirty knots an. hour.

casional correspondent of the Novoe

been informed by an officer that, fol-
lowing the bonibardment Of March g..
japanese marines. landed ON the island
Of Putiatina,': thirty miles from Vladi-
yostok,. and killed fourteen Russian
families. This information was brought
by chinese and is considered unreliable.
1t is also reported, the correspondent
says, that the japanese upon their re-
tirement- from Vladiyostok-. dropped
floating mines. ::
The correspondent charges that the
Japanese, who were familiar with the
location Of buildings in the city, de-
Hberately directed their guns toward
hospital where there we're $50 sick.
Fortunately the hospital was not
struck. Another hospital was also en-
dangered by a Japanese shell.
A correspondent stationed in. Man
churia writes under date of March 6
that the only persons opposed to the
Russians in Manchuria are Manchu-
rians whom the Russians prevented op-
pressing the people Manchurians
friendly to the Russians, this cerre-
spondent says. have petitioned the lat
ter to accord protection, which they
say they. cannot expect under Chinese
rule.
Following the torpedoing of the Rus
sian ships, the news of which was cir
eulated by the japanese among the
Chinese. placards were posted Saying
that the opportunity had arrived tc
exterminate the foreigners. Troops. are
coming in by thousands, the: CORE
spondent adds. in steady stream.
The. following semi-official dispatch
has been received from Liaoyang:
In the first encounter with the
Japanese in Northern Korea, which wa:
crowned with victory for the Russian
arms, the enemy's losses were ten times
those of the Russians. According tC
Korean reports the japanese buried
fifty men, while 10 wounded were re
moved with the help of 500 Koreans t
the headquarters Of the japanese. The
confusion of the Japanese was so grea'
that they hoisted the Red Cross flag:
| in token of surrender. Throughout theil
war with China the japanese never
showed themselves so distracted. Th'
people here are in high spirits over the
news of the first briHinat fight in. ko
rea."

CHICAGO, April Although denied
fatty at the Japanese legation to-day.
there is little doubt Of the truth Of a.
story that Japanese agents In this city
have been securing Quantities Of pow
der and other supplies through an IN.
termediary Of that legation. 1t is pos
sible that the Chinese Minister himself
had no idea of what was going on, but
it is certain that some of his officials
were concerned in the affair.
These war materials, which included;
besides powder, several thousand
stands of firearms, quantities Of food
stuffs of the type recently approved
for field use by the French general
staff, were shipped first indirectly to
Yokohama, but the risk was found to
be too great. ..'~
Colonel Pazareff, the Russian mill
tary attache at Paris. discovered al
legged fraud through agents. whom he
had employed to. find out why there
were so many ceuings and gotngs be-
tween the Japanese and Chinese Legal
concierge's room he finally overheard
conversation which. left the matter in
no doubt. - :
1t is supposed the incident will be
closed by formal explanation by the
Chicago legation: The Japanese agents
have left the city. The least romantic
part of the affair Is the. fact that the
fraud. was; first disclosed by chambers

been concerned in the scheme.

Water as a Medicine.

Drink a glass of water when you get
out of bed in the morning. Never
mind the size of the glass. Let the
the water be cold IL you will. Some
people prescribe hot water, but that
isn't necessary. You may have washed
your face already and relished the ex-
perience. You may have taken cold
plunge into the tub and delighted in
the shock and its reaction. The brisk
use of the tooth brush has left your
mouth clean and the breath sweet.
But you are dirty still. Drink a glass
of cold water and enjoy the sensation
of being clean inside. All that is lux
urious in the cold bath cleansing the
outside is artificial. That which should
prompt the glass Of water after sleep
ing is natural. AS a test, tell the nine
year-old protestant against his morn
ing scrub Of cold water that he may
escape it by drinking half a pint Of

the fluid. He will jump at the oppor-

the fluid. He will jump at the oppor-
tunity.
Sleep has drawn upon the water ir
the blood and the instinct Of the ami
NAL, under natural conditions, Is to
replenish the circulatory system and
distend the blood vessels anew. The
food in the stomach which had so much
to do toward inducing sleep has dis
appeared, leaving a mucous substance
in the alimentary canals. Yet man
would wash his face and leave these
half -clogged canals to the duties OF
another day.
Drink a glass Of cold water in the
name Of cleanliness. It becomes one
Of the shortest and easiest Of toilet
duties It Is swallowed in a second
and in five minutes 1t has passed from
the stomach taking with 1t the clogging
secretions Of the alimentary tracts
It has left behind the stimulus that
goes with cold water, and by filling the
arterial system to the normal, 1t puts
a spur to the circulation that has
grown sluggish in the night. 1t Is one
Of the greatest Of awakeners and one
Of natures own stimulants.
Drink a glass of water before break
fast, another before luncheon and an
other before dinner. Water Is the best,
cheapest and pleasantest medicine

BAPTISM FOR THE DEAD.-Under the
caption, 1.-THE Vitality Of Mormonism,"
Ray Stannard Baker writes in the June
Century:
Another device which holds the peo-
ple to the church Is the curious doc
trine Of baptism for the dead. 1t Is
believed that the living may, by being
baptized, save their relatives who have
gone before. A man goes to the tenn
pie and is solemnly immersed for his
grandfather, who died out OF the faith;
the grandfather's name Is duly enter
ed in the book Of records; the grand
son contributes the fee and comes the
next day to be baptized for. his grand
mother and so on. AS the result OF
this faith the Mormons have delved
more deeply into their geneaology per-
haps, than any other class Of Ameri-
cans. know of several cases In which
Mormons have gone to England on
purpose to trace out their genealogical
tree, bringing back long lists Of their
ancestors, in some cases going back to
the time of William the Conqueror. On
their return to Utah they begin the
process Of baptism, a dip for each an
cestor."

ever, his practical skill, courage and
energy overcame all difficulties.
Piedmont was the center Of the Cum
berland bituminous coal region. The
present great coal fields Of that part OF
the country were then undeveloped'
and Davis perceived that that section
was one of immense industrial prom
ise. The firm of Davis & Bros. en-
gagged in the shipping Of coal and
lumber for the producers, and its busi-
ness grew rapidly.
In 1860 Henry G.. Davis organized
the Piedmont Savings bank and be-
came it's president. This bank was sup
planted by the National Bank of Pied
mont, Of which Mr.. Davis is also the
guiding spirit. He and his brothers,
whose possessions were originally In
significant, have since been able to
count their capital by millions, while
their landed estate at one time approx
mated 100000 acres.
Before the war Mr.. Davis was a
Whig, while after its close he allied
himself with the conservative wing OF
the Democratic party.
He made his entry into politics IN
1865, when he was elected to the West

road in the United States. he was
soon advanced to the position Of con-
ductor and was then the only railroad
conductor in the country. An anus
ing story illustrative Of the grip Of ear
" associations on a retentive nature
used to be told Of him in Washington.
It is said that we'll toward morning Of
q wearisome all night session Of the
senate Senator Davis was asleep. his
head resting upon his desk. Senator
Edmunds had provoked Judge Thur
man to a speech, and by Introduction
the Judge unfurled his red bandanna
and blew a blast Of more than usual
power. Mr.. Davis may have been
dreaming of his old railroad days. At
any rate, he sprang to his feet in a
half dazed condition and. catching
sight of the red f1ag-the old signal Of
danger-and seeming to imagine that
he had heard a shrek Of alarm from
the open throttle Of locomotive call
ing for down brakes" seized his
desk and with the brakemans quick
twist wrenched 1t from the floor.
1t was while serving as q conductor
that Mr.. Davis met and formed the
acquaintance Of Henry Clay, who was
a passenger upon Mr.. Davis train
while going from his Kentucky home
to the capital and returning. Clay
would board the train in Baltimore and
leave it at it's western terminus and
make the journey over the mountains
into Kentucky IN the old fashioned
stagecoach. Mr.. Davis got his first
