When | Hit You'll Feel 1t, Says Bruin
(By the Associated Press

ST. Petersburg, Feb. 1S.-An official
proclamation explaining the unprepared-
ness of Russia for war and the necessity
for the exercise of patience by her peo-
pie has been issued here. 1t says:
''The unity and strength of the Russian
people leave no room for doubt that
Japan will receive the chastisement she
deserves for her treachery and provoca-
ton 10 war at time when our beloved
sovereign desired to maintain peace among
the nations The conditions under which
hostilities are being carried on compel us
to wait with patience news of the sue
cess of our troops which cannot occur be-
fore decisive actions are fought by the
Russian army The distance of the terri
tory and the desire of the Emperor to
maintain peace were the causes OF the I'M
possibility of more complete and earlier
preparations for war. Much time is now
necessary in order to strike at Japan
blows worthy of the dignity and might OF
Russia and. while sparing as lnuch as pos
sible the shedding of blood Of her chill
dren, to infct just chastiseuient upon the
nation which has provoked the struggle
Russia must await the event IN patience
being sure that our army VIII ayenge
hundred fold that provocation."

Immediately upon their arrival here from
Washington today.
Surrounded by veritable garden OF
flowers and guarded by detail of sol
diers from the State militia, the city OF
Cleveland now claims its own distinguish
ed dead. During this afternoon, from
1870 to $3.50 oclocktonight fully $4,000
people passed the flower-covered casket
and took last look upon the features or
the dead statesman.
With snow blowing into their faces
fiercely and a cold wind chilling them
through and through, thousands upon
thousands of people stood for hours in a
double line stretching for more than five
squares, waiting for an opportunity to
pass into the building, where lay the re-
mains. Although the crowd was passing
into the auditorium at the rate of more
than sixty minute, the line grew rap
idly and when $50 the doors were closed
for the night, there were still several
thousand who had waited patiently, but
were compelled to return home disap-
pointed.
The funeral train bearing the body of
the dead Senator and the members Of his
family arrived in Cleveland during Griv-
ing storm The first to leave it was Gov
ernor Herrick, followed by his staff. The
Chamber Of Commerce committee soon
alighted, followed by the members of the
funeral party. The members of the fam

. February S.-The japanese were for
hidden to embark on the British steamer
Ras Bera All the japanese were pro-
hibted from leaving the harbor.
February Eight Russian soldiers
were placed on guard over the Japanese
on board the Wenchow. None of the
Japanese were allowed to land. The
Wenchow was detained and some 200 Jap
anese on board are about to starve.
February 10.-After appeals to Viceroy
Alexieff ten bags of rice and some bis
cults only were sent to the ship in the
evening.
February 11.--No heed was taken by
The Russians of our repeated signals 'No
drinking water
February 13.-Renewed appeals made
TO the Russians to give some food at
least to the infants and sick women.
One hundred and three japanese
boarded the Wenchow from Hardin.
While on their way there they were
robbed of all their baggage and rendered
penniless There are now 800 Japanese
on the Wenchow and their distressed con-
dition is beyond description.

Wenchow was allowed to sail.

BLAZE IN THE HOLD.
Struggle With Fire on Board the Pal
lama.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Halifax, n. s., Feb. 1S.-The Hamburg.
American Liner Pallanza which arrived
today from Hamburg, was seriously
threatened by fire which broke out when
the steamer was within 500 miles of the
american coast. For five hours the crew
worked with undated energy to subdue
the flames which ragged int the cargo and
finally conquered them by the injection
of steam into the hold.
The fire was discovered the morning OF
the 18th, while the Pallanza was laboring
in heavy gale Within a few moments
great volumes of smoke from the burning
cargo was pouring out of the hatchways.
Several lines of hose were sent down and
great quantities of water pumped into the
hold The water apparently made but ht-
tie impression upon the flames. Then
steam pipes were led over to the hatch
way and sent down and three hours later
the flames began to subslde.
When it was announced an hour later
that the fire was under control, the pas
sengers broke into prolonged cheers.

PREPARING FOR POSSIBILITIES.
Activity in the ArsenaIs and Ship
Yards of Europe.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, Feb 19.-(Friday Little
Far Eastern news appears in the press
this morning with the exception of Off
cial dispatches, and the comment is made
that the official reports to Viceroy
Alexieff and others are remarkable mostly
igor what they leave unsaid These re-
ports attract far less attention than does
the significantly frank Russian proclama-
ton asking the people to be patient until
the army is ready to strike blows worthy
of the dignity and might of Russia. The
threats in this document are commented
upon by the British press in tones of con-
siderable irony
1t is now believed both in London and
on the Continent, that Viceroy Alexleff
has decided to fall back on Hardin, prac
tically abandoning Port Arthur Vladivo-
stock and the whole of southern Man
churia TO the Japanese and that he is
perhaps hoping that the reduction of Port
Arthur and Vladivostock will occupy the
enemy while he is concentrating his forces
at Hardin.
The papers this morning comment upon
the activity which is seen at Woolwich
and elsewhere in reftting the navy in
preparation for any emergency. 1t is ad-
mitted that the manufacturers of fixed
ammunition have been working night
shifts since Christmas. and that all the
surplus obsolete war material on war yes
sells at home and abroad is being replaced
as rapidly as possible. Especial Interest
attaches to the equipment of sixty battle
ships with the new Pinch wire steel
guns, said to be the most modern and
most powerful guns in existence.
Similar reports of military activity arc
received from other countries. For in
stance, even Spain is preparing for posi-
bilities

Japan Denies Destruction of Her Ships
by the Associated Press.l

London, Feb. 1S.-The Japanese lega-
ton here received an official dispatch
f1cm Toxic tonight saying it was not
true that any Japanese vessels had been
destroyed so far, in any OF the various
naval engagements, and that all necessary
repairs had already been made. The jar
aEese- fleet remains intact.
NThis message also denies the report that
tn Japanese were driven from tn neigh
bcrhood of Kin Chau, after a skirmish
in which $50 Japanese were taken pris-
oners, and declares that the Japanese
maze no attempt to land at Pigeon Bay.
1t says the japanese forces have, up to
the present time, made no attempt t.
land at any point where they could come
in contact with the Russians, and that
consequently all reports of land actions
ara japanese losses are untrue.

improvements to this great church school

dormitory would be built and that pre-
liminary work on it would be begun as
soon as weather conditions permit. and
this work would be pushed rapidly. so
that after next summer the building
would be ready for the fall session.

be made at cost not to exceed thirty
thousand dollars. The money for this
purpose is to come from the Faircloth
requests and it has been determined that
because of this the new dormitory will
be named ''The Faircloth Building in
honor of the late Judge w. T. Faircloth,
of Goldsboro, who so handsomely remem-
bered the cause OF Baptist Female Educa-
ton in his will.
The trustees yesterday took steps to ar
range for a great event which will be
of overshadowing Importance at COM

Exercises which will then be conducted

Rutherford, was appointed to arrange a
programme for Dedicatory Day. To these
exercises an invitation to attend will be
extended to all the Baptist people of the
State and it is proposed to make the
event a great one. one of the greatest in
the history of the Baptist denomination
in North Carolina.
