A BIC JAPANESE FORCE FAR
NORTH Of FLEEING RUSSIANS
Marshal Oyama's development Movement Seems
to Have Been Entirely Successful -.Kuro-
patkin Can Hardly Escape From Trap.
NEWS OF vLAD|VOST0K'S CAPTURE EXPECTED

London, March 1.-THE advices
from the far east are believed here to
indicate that General Kuropatkin and
his forces in Manchuria will be forced
to surrender to the Japanese within a
very short time.
The correspondent of the London
Daily Mail at St. Petersburg telegraph
ing late last night, states that advices
by the Russia war office indicate that
a very large force of Japanese have
succeeded In carrying out Marshal
Oyama's enveloping movement and are
now far to the northward of the flee
ing columns. The correspondent states
that he has discussed the situation
with several military experts and that
they all agree that there is but little
hope Of extricating the Russian army
from the Japanese trap. In fact some
o. Lne cnIeis oI the war Office are de-
clared to have stated that General
Kuropatkin seems doomed to surrend-
er.
All of the st. Petersburg correspond
ents Of the London Daily papers de-
clare that the feeling in the Russian
capital is extremely gloomy and init
mate that the belief is general there
that Russia will be compelled to seek

peace soon or face revolution at home
and annihilation abroad.
1t is generally believed here that
Marshal Oyama has got the Russians
on the run and that he will keep them
fighting until the entire Russian army
is annihilated.
1t is the opinion that General Ka-
wamura, with his army is headed for
a point on the railroad far above
Tiehling where he will be able to- cut
off the retreat of the advance guard
Of General Kuropathns army and
crush them in their exhausted state.
The japanese have succeeded in re-
ducing the elaborate system of Rus
sian defenses simply because Kuropat-
kin had by no means half men enough
to defend his position and was COM
PEELED to bow to the weight of super
ior numbers.
1t is expected here that while the
present fighting is going on near Tieh-
ling a large Japanese army Is moving
against Vladlvostok and there would
be little surprise felt here were the
japanese to be heard soon as having
occupied that city. The reduction of
that port would leave the Russian
Baltic fleet with no base nearer than
Europe.

ton. Johnson's father is ill, and as a
result of his sons escapade is in a

Sante Fe case today, Foster Allen,
manager for l. N. knapp, was still
on the stand. He submitted some doc
umentary evidence to show the

though he is apparently reluctant, AL
len has been best witness for the
state.
Messages have been sent I. N. Knapp

since he got the freight rate he de-

Allen refused to give out any cor
respondence between Knapp and the
Sante Fe until instructed to do so by
Knapp.
Gardiner Lathrop, general counsel
for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
said he did not know whether or not
H. II, Rogers and James Stillman were
directors of the Santa Fe. He said
that the statement that John D. Rock
efeller was a member of the board was
wrong. Monett then asked him how
1t was that he knew Rockefeller was
not member but could not remember
whether or not Rogers and Stillman

point In the presentation of his case
both by Senator Hill, his counsel, and
Judge Landon and Assistant District
Attorney Cans for the prosecution
He has made copious notes which
will be valuable to him in the event

he must fight even If he escapes the
death chair by a favorable decision
of the court.

UNSETTLED WEATHER
May Be Expected for Several Days,
Says Professor Rea.

The low area central over middle
Texas moved very slowly northward
and was central over Indian Territory
yesterday. The north limit Of the
storm area reached up into Canada.
Behind 1t Is a very long and narrow
serpentine high ridge which also
reaches from Mexico well up into
Canada. In width this ridge is not
over $50 miles wide. West of this
ridge are two additional low areas,
one central over Nevada, the other
over northern Idaho. All these lows
caused rains throughout Texas, Ari-
zona and all the Pacific states. Cloudy
weather or rains prevailed from the
mountains through the lake region
to the sea. Rain or snow fell in all
the lake region except northern Ohio.
Rain fell in all the Atlantic states
from Charleston south.
The eastern border of the Texan
low crossed the Mississippi yesterday
and light rains may be expected be.
fore the close of today, and when
the change comes unsettled weather
may be looked for during the next
two or three days.
Another indication OF unsettled
weather is the rising temperature,
which was from 20 to 35 degrees
higher than the preceding report
In all districts from the Alleghenies
west. the temperature yesterday was
considerably above the seasonal av
erage.

INSTANTLY KILLED
BY A STREET CAR
TRAGIC DEATH OF A PiTTSBURG
MAN IN NEW YORK.
Fell Under Wheels Of Swiftly Moving
Car and Was Literally Ground
TO Pieces.

New York, March 16.-Joseph e.
Seegall, Of Pittsburg Pa, who for the
past three months has been manager
of the cloak department of a Sixth
Avenue department store was run
over and almost instantly killed this
evening on Broadway by surface car.
while hundreds of homeward bound
pedestrians looked on powerless to
aid.
Mr.. Seegall had left his Office to go
home and waited at Broadway and
Fifteenth street for car. One came
along moving rapidly and he tried to
board 1t by the rear platform. He lost
his hold and fell to the street directly
in front Of a car that was rapidly ap-
preaching at high rate of speed.
Mr.. Segall rolled directly on to the
tracks in front Of this car, and before
the motorman could apply the brakes
the front trucks ground the man to
death. The car was brought to stop
with the trucks upon the body.
Mr. Seegall uttered only one cry, and
this attracted the attention Of hun
dreds of persons who we're crowding
the sidewalk. They rushed over to the
car, and many of the men put tneir
shoulders to the car and tried to raise
it from the tracks. They were unsuc-
cessful and had to await the arrival
of a wrecking wagon. The throng
soon increased and the police had
hard work keeping the roadway clear.
Scores OF women who were watch
ing the attempts to get the mans
body out tainted. When it was finally
brought out 1t was fearfully torn.
While waiting for IN ambulance
from the New York hospital Mrs. Sec
gall, who had been notified by tele-
phone made her way through the
crowd and dropped down beside her
husband. She became hysterical and
kept crying: "You can't be dead"

MY SON BILL.

Familiarity Allowed With the Consul
Under the Circumstances.
The captain of second-class cruis.
er, which has lately returned to Dav.
export from the North American sta
tion to pay off, tells an amusing story
against himself. The ship touched at
one Of the French islands in the West
Indies, and the captain went ashore
in due course to return the visit of
the British consul. On his arrival,
says the North Mail. he beheld one OF
the senior petty officers of his ship,
to whom he had granted eight hours
leave, sprawling in a luxuriant chair
on the veranda, putting at a big Ha,
vana. The captain curtly asked him
what he was doing there. The sailor,
between puffs of his big cigar blandly
retorted that he was there on visit
to Bill And who the duce is Bill?''
snapped the skipper. why, the con-
sui here-him as | allow you've come
to pay your respects to-" How dare
you speak with such familiarity of
one of his Majestys consuls?" thun-
dered the captain. ooh, Bills all
right" explained the petty officer,
complaceDtly. Hes my SON" And
as the captain fell back breathIess
with Indignation and incredulity, the
consul himself came in and exclaim-
ed; "Ah, captain, I'm glad my old man
was here to receive you!"-St. James

FILIPINO INDEPENDENCE
Perhaps in Generation or Two, Says
Secretary Taft.

Washington, D. c., March 16.-Sec-
retary of War Taft favors the giving
of independence to the Fillpinos
when they have demonstrated their
capacity for self government. He
believes, however that the people of
, the Philippine archipelago. when
they have associated for a generation
or two with Americans will prefer
a relation to America like Canada or
Australia to England.
The secretary expressed his belief
in a letter addressed today to John
N. Blair of the Mutual Life building,
New York City, copy Of which he
has Just made public.
