ARTHUR
IS HARD PRESSED
Provisions and Ammunition
Will Not Keep 1t Going
Over Two Weeko.
GRAVE TROUBLES HOME
People Who Contract With Russi,
Must Take Chances on Possibili-
ties of the Government Be-
ing Overthrown.

London, March 3.-The Tien Tsin
correspondent Of the Express cables
his paper that the repeated attacks up
on Port Arthur have created conditions
approaching complete decentralization
among the troops there. There Is lit
tie hope that the place will be BILE to
make a long defense.
Rations already are exceedingly
shcCt, and it is expected thai when the
town is completely invested hunger will
compel ca~pitulation. Not many civil
1ans are left in the town, but there are
enough to cause the authorities anX-
iety. Those who first lacked confidence
CT the town to withstand the attacks Of
the Japanese fleet have gained new as
surance since the attempt to blockade
the harbor was defeated, and it, is now
accepted that a siege and starvation
are the things to be feared.
Two Weeks Provisions.
The Times Paris correspondent
quotes q merchant having business
connections with Russia as saying that
If the communications of Port Arthur
are cut off its provisions will not last
over two weeks. Ammunition for use
in defending the port was to have come
by sea, II now it is hopelessly cut
off.
This business man says his personal
experience with the railway convinces
him that provisions and connections are
likely to be cut off by that route, at
least temporarily. He also adds to the
testimony that provisions and ammuni-
ton now in Port Arthur are hopelessly
insufficient, as are also those Of the
Russian forces in Manchuria.
1t is inferred from the Times dispatch
hat it's statements are really made
by q man who is himself a contractor
for the Russian government. The cor
respondent adds hat it is matter Of
common comment among Russians
prominent In business outside Russia,
that the internal situation Of the en-
pire must to a certain extent be reck-
oned with by those contracting for bus
mess with the Russian government.
Korea and Japan.
Koreans. it Is reported, recognize
Japan's honest intentions toward them,
INC believe under the treaty their flu
ture welfare will be fully safeguarded
If Japan wins in the war. This will
mean a great development OF the coun-
try under Japanese auspices. In this,
and in efforts to prevent Russia pre-
vailing in the present war, the Koreans
may be relied on to cooperate with
Japan to the utmost Of their power.

laps MOVING INLAND.
D~etachments Reported. to Be Moving on
the Railroad in the Rear of
AIadivos&oL

st. Petersburg, March "A dispatch
from Vladivostok dated today says, ac-
cording to private reports there, three
japanese detachments of 800 men each re-
Gently landed 100 miles north Of Wonsan,
with the supposed object of reaching the
valley of the Tumen river and threatening
Hun-Chun, Manchuria, nine miles north
OF the Korean boundary. and about eight
mica west Of .Yiadivostok. A fleet of ten
Japanese warships was recently sighted
on the horizon off Vladivostok. They arc
believed to be reserve vessels, not power
full enough to blockade Vladivostok or
endanger the Russian first class cruisers
who're base is at that port.

WILL CUT RAILROADS.
After That Is Accomplished the Japs
Think They Can Take Port Arthur
in Two Weeks,

Washington, March 4.-The landing
in force of Japanese on the Lao Tung
peninsula and the beginning of the
land investment Of Port Arthur, Will
not begin for a Fortnight, according to
advices receive here from what are
beliVed to be reliable sources.
1t was expected an attack on the
fortress would take place yesterday or
today, but these later advices, with
out explaining the reason for the de-
lay, show there has been a change in
the original plans.
Army officers here think the Japanese
have decided hat with the railroad
connecting Port Arthur with the out
side world cut, thus preventing sup
plies from reaching the place, two
weeks of privation will render the final
assault easier,

QUIT PORT ARTHUR.
st. Petersburg Disquieted Over Persist
ent Reports That 1t Will
Be Abandoned.

st. Petersburg, March Luminous
runiors ran through the city today in
the business circles that Port Arthur
is to be abandoned to the enemy, after
sinking the ships, as was lcna in the
Crimean war. This is probably exag-
gerated, but the story is fortified by a
telegram from Port Arthur published
in the Gazette to the effect that the
commander has called upon the people
to she'd the last drop Of their blood in
case the enemy takes the town, the
same dispatch telling Of several Chinese
being caught on the heights at the back
oil the town signalling to the japanese.

CHINESE HELP laps.
Twenty of Them Are Caught,
CHARGED as Spies.

st. Petersburg, March According
to a Port Arthur dispatch, twenty
Chinese have been arrested there for
signaling to the Japanese ships from,
the shore with a flashlight and LAM
terms. Warning has been issued that
similar offenders will hereafter be
treated as spies and shot.
Although 1T is denied that present
plans of the admiralty contemplate
the dispatch Of either the Black sea
or the Baltic fleet to the far east, it
is beyond question that both are be-
ing prepared with the greatest haste
to m%eet:any emergency that may arise.

PRINCIPAL of Schools Left,

Beatrice, Neb., March 3.-The little town
of Virginia, fifteen miles southeast of
Beatrice, Is just recovering from a SEN
sational affair in which Professor Nc
Cherry, principal of the schools there, was
the chief actor and a heartbrokcn wife
is left to suffer for his misdoings. In tax
ing charge of the schools the professor
gave the residents of that village to un-
derstand that he was not married, and
soon after locating there he was not long
in gaining access to some Of the best
homes in Virginia, and at once became a
favorite among the young women. Last
Thursday evening Mrs. McClcery arrived
at Virginia and rather took her husband
by surprise. The next morning the pro-
fessor disappeared and has not been seen
since.

Sheep Shearinq by Power.

Fremont, Neb., March ga sheep
shearing plant Is in operation at the FIRE.
mont stock yards and a good many sheep
which are being fed there in transit are
relieved of their wool before being shipped
to market. The power is furnished by a
gasoline engine, which moves the knives
or the shearers very rapidly. 1t only
takes three minutes to take off all the
wool when the shears are in the hands Of
an expert operator, and without cutting
the skin of the sheep. 1t requires much
skill and practice and it is very hard
work to run one of the machines. Expert
operators can get IS per day.
