JAPAN'S OFFICIAL
HEADQUARTERS TO
REMAIN AT TOXIC

TOXIC, March 24.-It has been de-
termined to postpone indefinitely the
removal of official headquarters to
Kioto. AT the outbreak of the war it was
thought that Kioto, where the Mikado
has two famous palaces and several
imperial villas, would be close to the
seat of war and more convenient for
the directing of the naval campaign
Japan's naval successes have obviated
that necessity.
The House committee investigating
the charge that Teisuke Akiyama, a
member of the Parliament, was in the
pay of the Russians met to-day and
privately questioned a number of wit
nesses and examined other evidence
submitted. The police supplied part
of the evidence. 1t is now reported
that another member is implicated. 1t
is suspected that when the committee
has reported the House will discuss
the question tomorrow.
The war tax measures were dis
cussed in committee to-day. The pub
lie was excluded. 1t is likely the COM
mittee will report tomorrow.

NeVClValg'S Capture
by the Japanese

Def6nSGS Too Weak to
Resist Land and
Sea Attack.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

NEWCHWANG, March 24.-Yielding
to the south winds and the high tides,
the ice fields that stretch from New
chwang to the sea are moving up and
down the river with the ebb and flow
of the tidal currents. The thaw is now
proceeding rapidly and the ice is ac-
cumulating in deeply sunken masses.
The Russians say that the river will
be navigable in a few days, provided
the mild weather continues.
The Japanese are expected to appear
as soon as an entrance is possible. The
Russians will oppose their landing, but
with scant chance of success. 1t is i'm
possible to block the river. The forts
at the mouth of the river are unequal
TO the task of repelling the japanese
ships which can come up the river be-
hind the transports and cover the land
ing of troops.
Once the town is taken the invaders
will ind an abundance of grain and
food stuffs, while at the terminus Of
the Russian branch railway above the
city there is a great quantity of coal
and a group of useful buildings.
The people about here became ac-
quainted with the Japanese during the
war between China and Japan in 1SS4-5,
and are ready TO give them every as
sistance This is true also of the peO-
pie to the west of the river, where the
Japanese would be able TO obtain trans
port, forage and food to an unlimited
extent.

stenographic notes of his experiences
through the first bombardment at Port

away with his records to Chefu, where
they were speedily transcribed and
sent out over wire and cable to the

Young Darneal had been employed
for a year with the East Asiatic Com

outbreak of the war found him and his
young wife at the very center of opera

In his letter home, received yester-
day by his parents. Darneal recounts
some of his experiences. He writes:
"On the morning of February I
