NEW SLAUGHTER
 HOUSE IS BEING
Built to Replace the One
 Burned on Sunday.
John Smith Tenders Use of His House and Outfit Pending
 Its Completion.

Almost before the embers of Joe Roberts slaughter house had cooled and before MT. Roberts had been ap- praised of his loss, his foreman, Bob Young, had men clearing away the debris and yesterday lumber was sent out and force of carpenters placed at work building a new slaughter house. Within week or less time the new structure will have progressed sufficiently towards completion as to 5e ready for use.
 In the meantime through the cour- tesy of John Smith of Smiths meat market the fat cattle for the O. K. Market are being slaughtered at the latteI's slaughter house. Mir. Roberts slaughter house contained more car casses than was previously reported, there being six fine large beeves, six sheep, two large veals and four hogs all hanging ready to be brought to town on Monday morning and which were completely burned up.
 On one side of the slaughter house there was a shed which had been used for storing hay. Recently MT. Roberts had had under construction a ban, a short distance from the slaughter house and as it is almost completed he had just stored two car loads of hay in it, instead of putting it in the hay shed, thus saving it from destruction. As the fire seemed to have started near the location where the dressed meat was hanging and quite a distance from the cauldron used in trying out tallow, its origin is a mystery

DISAPPEARANCE OF ICE IN THAT
HARBoR ExPEDlTEs JAPAN
EsE ADVANCE.
RUSSIAN FLEET PREPARING TO MOVE
ADMIRAL MAKAROFF IN COM,
MAND OF SQUADRON AT
! PORT ARTHUR.

Paris, March 5.-Information re
ceived here from official sources in
Korea confirms previous reports to the
effect that Chinnampho is free from
Ice that the Japanese have ceased de-
barking troops at Chemulpo and that
they have taken advantage of the
opening of Chinnampho to land troops
there, thus expediting the forward
movement.
Official advices from st. Petersburg
confirm the reports that decisive
move is anticipated on the part Of the
Port Arthur squadron, now that Ad-
miral Makaroff has arrived there;
that torpedo boats especially will be
brought into play and that, in spite
of reports to the contrary, Russia is
understood to have an ample supply of
torpedoes for these craft.
The Temps publishes a dispatch
from st. Petersburg which says the
Russians have taken advantage of the
stormy weather, which has prevented
further operations on the part of the
Japanese feet, to improve their de-
fenses at Port Arthur.
The dispatch also says that the
Japanese fleet has been weakened by
damage sustained since Feb. 25 to the
extent of six cruisers, five torpedo
boat destroyers and one gunboat.

RELATIONS MOST FRIENDLY.
Great Britain Assures Russia Of Abso-
lutte Neutrality.

Paris, March 5.-To the gratitica-
ton of France better relations be-
tween Russia and Great Britain are
promised as the result of the visit OF
Count BeDckendorff the Russian am
bassador to Great Britain, to ST. Pc
tersburg. From an authoritative source
it is learned that Count Benckendortf
not only carried verbal assurances OF
the absolute neutrality OF Great Brit
ain in the war but that he was the
bearer Of documents establishing the
fact that the London government did
not want war and had used deter
mined efforts to prevent it, urging on
Japan the fact that the British press
did not represent the attitude or
wishes of the British government.
Official advices from ST. Petersburg
show that Count BenckefidofTf rep
RESERVATIONS cleared away many sus-
picions entertained by the Russian au-
thorities. Russia does not desire I'M
friendly relations with Great Britain.
She therefore met the British govern
ment half way and it is understood
that Count Benckendorff was charged
with most conciliatory measures by
the czar. This new phase OF the situa-
ton, which has long been the subject
of conversation by Foreign Minister
Delcasse and the ambassadors ac-
credited to France, has given rise to a
feeling in official and diplomatic cir
cles that it will be possible after all
to confire the Far Eastern war to Rus
Sia and Japan.

STRIKE MAY BE AvERTED.
Both Operators and Miners Ready to
z-Make- Concessions.

Indianapolis. March 5--The oper-
ators and miners sub-scale committee
had been in session only short time
during the day when an adjournment
was taken in order that the miners
scale committee and officers could
hold conference. There are indlca-
tions that considerable has been ac-
ceded on both sides in sitting demands
down to point where something defl-
mite can be determined. Though the
operators have not made any conces-
sions it is believed by those familiar
with the situation that they will get
down to their ultimatum at once,
which will be for reduction OF not
less than 5 cents ton on screened
coal and a proportionate increase for
all other mining and labor under the
mines. The Western Pennsylvania
and Ohio operators will not sign a
scale with a reduction less than that
and it looks like the Illinois and In
diana operators would stand firmly
with them.
