reserves or where the land is Chiefly valu-
able for timber
II suggests the outlines for law per
mitting homestead entries upon agricul-
tural land within forest reserves and the
survey and description of such agricul
tural lands by metes and bounds rather
than by the regular system, thus permit
ting the agricultural lands to be selected
along the valleys and to embrace the good
tillable land without taking in extensive
tracts of side hills
The recommendation also is made that
when lands are restored to entry after
temporary segregation ample time should
DC allowed hOmesteaders to exercise their
rights. giving thsm the preference over
persons VINO may wish 10 select the land
by the use of scrip or other form of en-
Try.

SERIOUS FOR RUSSIA.
Vladivostok Squadron May Be Shut
Out of Port.

London. March TIP to late hour
tonight the japanese legation here had
received no official information regard
ing the bomha rdment Of Nladivostok IL
Is believed at the legation. however that
the Japanese are now beuWeen the Rus
sian cruiser squadron and Nladivostok,
and there is reason 10 believe That the
Russian squadron is in the vicinity Of
P0SsicI bay.
Russian official dispat ciirs do not men
ton this squadron. and this fact lends
color 10 the belief that the Japanese war
ships have shut IL out of Nladivostok. II
is pointed out ut the iegattOn that IF this
is true the Russian vessels are in a crit
ical position. since they must run the
gauntlet of the japanese squadron off
NladiVOstok or the japanese squadron Off
Port Arthur before reaching a Russian
mort.

Albert Buttgenbach. the dead mans

The captain of detectives said today

They had both sentenced DIXON at various

frequently heard before supper.
Mob Formed Slowly.
Nothing was thought or il by the Of

mob Of boys gathered IN front of the

was wanted to start the assault. but no
one assumed the responsibility At one
time the iron bFr al the east entrance
was removed and the door partly opened.
The policemen on the inside promptly

Movement No Longer Regarded as a
Diversion.
Toxic, March 1t is believed that
the Russian NladivOstok squadron is
now in the vicinity of the mouth Of the
Tumen river. engaged in covering the
movement Of troops from Possiet bay
TO the valley of Tumen-
Russian scouts are reliably reported
TO have penetrated south as far as
Kiuang Sung. The earlier Russian
movement into northeastern Korea was
regarded as a diversion. but it now ap-
pears that considerable force par
ticipated. 1t is thought that the Rus
slams may occupy and fOrtify some
strong position on the Tumen river.
Reports regarding Russian move
ments in northwestern Korea are
meagre and unreliable
The frOce north of the Yalu is being
increased, but It is doubted if any con-
siderable number of Russians have
crossed that river.

st. Petersburg. March although
the prevailing opinion in military cir
cles continues to be that the lombard
ment of Nladivostock Sunday was for
the purpose of locating the guns of the
batteries and to ascertain whether the
Russian squadron was in port, some
shrewd believers believe it indicates
move by land and sea against the city.
The Novoe Vremya advances the the
DRY that the bombaTdment was ordered
for political effect on the japanese
diet"
1t is considered especially unfortu-
nate that the japanese did not go close
enough TO Vladiyostock TO establish the
identity of their ships, leaving the qUes-
ton whether they were a division Of the
Port Arthur fleet in doubt. Il is not
believed, however, the Japanese would
dare to divide the latter. which would
involve the risk of a sOTtie by the Rus
slams and their playing havoc with the
Japanese fiOtilla. The japanese feet
has not been sighted from Port Arthur
for over a week, and possibly is trying
TO lure the Russians outside.
