VIZ ASHINGTON, February H.
N (SpeciaL)-If the cables from
London that General Pflug has
removed headquarters to Harbin, are true,
1t means the practical giving up of Port
Arthur and the entire Liaotung peninsula.
The dispatches also state that the Rus
SLAMS are massing troops at that place.
Hardin enjoys the advantage of being
IN an extensive wheat growing province,
GOO miles from Port Arthur. At last ac-
counts its wheat mills were reported to
be producing $4,000 pounds of -four a
day.
1t seems to me, however. that the ca
Bile must have intended to say Mukden.
This would be the place for a base for
Russian forces which we learn are active
In erecting defenses on the Yalu river.
No Battles Until Spring.
If the commanders headquarters really
have been transferred to Harbin. we must
not expect any great battle before spring,
and even If the base is to be Mukden
many days must elapse before any great
mass of the two opposing armies can
engage in battle.
The vast territory comprised In Man
ohuria and Korea can best be understood
by comparison with sections of our own
country with which we are familiar.
Manchuria alone covers about three hum

therefore. only about two-ffths the area

The greater part of the track of the
Siberian railroad is very inferior. A re-
cent traveller describes the road bed as
far from completed. In some places the
contractors had attempted to cross a
low, swampy plain and detour of sew
eral miles was made. This detour ap-
pears to be temporary and the sleepers
are laid in a loose, irregular and uneven
manner.
Another writer who recently traversed
the line said: I'm laying the Siberian
line one great mistake was made for too
light rails were ordered. The rail-makers
pointed this out. An unwise economy
prevailed with the result that already

Grades Are Very Easy.
No doubt good railroad could be made
from Port Arthur north to Harbin and
from Hardin west for about 800 miles, On
almost all of this route the grades are
very easy and engineers report that the
American locomotives that they have pull
forty loaded cars without difficulty
The frequent statement that Russia has
leased Manchuria from China and paid
the rental in advance is not correct 1t is
true that on March q, 1898, Russia leased
Port Arthur and Talienwan and their ad-
jacent territories and waters. China also
gave Russia the sole naval and military
control of the leased territory with author
ity to erect barracks and fortifcations.
The lease was for twenty-five years but
contains a carefully worded paragraph

CAPTAIN HOBSON ON THE
POSSIBLE ALLIANCES
RICHMOND PEARSON
Especial Age-d Copyrighted 1so4)

7 ASPER, February 1z-(Special)-The
dashing spirit IN the Japanese navy
~ is again illustrated in the second
torpedo attack on Port Arthur. 1t will be
interesting to learn that the success of
this dash indicates the inefficiency of the
Russian defenses of the city.
The situation strategically remains un-
changed Interest Will be centered upon
Port Arthur, which is a measure will
probably be effected by the local topo-
graphy
The situation offers many dramatic pos
sbilities for dashing efforts by land and
sea. 1t is interesting to consider as u
matter of speculation what would be the
strategic situation in the orient in the
event of European complications.
Could Overpower Japan.
In the event of France joining Russia,
French fleet of $4,000 tons could be
thrown into the scene, large enough to
overpower the Japanese fleet, cut off
Japanese communications, blockade the
Japanese coast and bring the war to a
conclusion, the French fleet operating
from Saigon as base until 1t established
its base with the Russian fleet at Port
Arthur.
This event. however. would precipitate
a war alliance between Great Britain and
Japan by the present British-Japanese
treaty.
Great Britain could readily throw into
the far east $4,000 tons of warship dis.
placement and still retain in Europe a
force adequate to put Russia and France
on the defensive, placing about one mil
lion tons of British warship displacement
against $4,000 tons of Russian, or a total
of 10000 tons which would not be ade-
quate to save the Russian and French

Harbors Blocked With Ice.

New York, February 17.-Not for
many years have the harbor and rivers
been choked with ice as they were to-
day. Much of the difficulty was due to
the fact that many large boats were
sent up the North river to break the
ice, and the detached masses fioated
down, causing serious interference to
navigation. AT many of the Jersey
City docks it was necessary to keep
tugs in use to clear away the ice that
clogged the slips and interfered with
the landing of ferryboats.

Boyaran Is Torpedoed.
Toxic, February 1s.-It Is the belief of
the navy department that the Russian
second-cass cruiser Boyarn was tor
pedoed and sunk by the destroyer Heya-
tory In the torpedo attack on the Rus
sian fleet at Port Arthur last Sunday
morning. Lieutenant Commander Token
ouchi did not know the name of the ves-
sells struck by torpedo discharged by
the Heyatory, but the navy department
has since learned from other sources that
IT was the Boyarin.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg dated
February 16 stated that the Boyarin was
blown up with n loss Of 1896 officers and
men February 13 by a mine which It ac-
