BENDING ALL EFFORTS
TO HEAD-OFF RUSSIANS
LULL IN FIGHTING ON RETREAT
FROM IUKDEN.

Japanese Advancing without Pressing
the Enemy-The Latter Destroying
Bridges, Railroad Bed and Highways
as They Run--Expericnce Increasing
Difficulty in Securing Reliable Infor-
nation Owing to Detection of Chinese
st. Petersburg, March 21-2:17 a, m.-
The latest dispatches from Manehuria
indicate that the retreat of the Russian
army is being conducted uneventfully.
The last few days were unmarked by
any lighting of a serious nature. Both
the Russians and the Japanese at this
stage are probably considering that
marching is more important than fight
ing. The Russians, however, are neg
lecting no precautions to impede pur-
suit and hamper the construction of
permanent japanese lines of supply.
A dispatch received yesterday an
nouncing that cannonade had been
heard south of Tie Pass is apparently
an error either as to direction or Ioca-
tion.
Gunshu Pass, March 20-Morning.
The last two days have been utterly
without incident, except for the remoy-
al of the censor to Kudzifu Pass. The
Russian rearguard is retreating slowly
end engaging in occasional skirmishes.
II has now reached q position twenty
seven miles north of Tie Pass. The
japanese are slowly advancing without,
pressing the Russians. In the course
of the retreat the Russians are destroy
ing bridges, the railroad bed and high
ways, and carrying off stores and de-.
molishing buildings and everything not
portable. Reports Of a wide turning
movement BY the Japanese are no long
er being received.
There is increasing difficulty in secur-
ing reliable information beyond the
limits within which scouting parties are
active on account of the detection Of
many Chinese to the Japanese side.
Many natives who have been employed
as servants by Russian officers have
run away, and other consequences Of
the evacuation OF Mukden are noticea-
bic in the attitude of the Chinese.
The troops parted in sadness with
General Kuropatkin, whose labors in
shaping the army are recognized, and
who was ever attentive to the wants
|of the soldiers in the matter Of food,
clothing and shelter. Regardlesssof the
fact that he had been conamander-in-
chief, General Kuropatkin osrered to
remain here as a subordinate of Gem
|eral Linevitch and as commander of a
corps. HI
General Lineviteh, who also enjoys
the respect and confidence Of the troops
as a fighter, is determined to initiate al
uniform wedding out of the overloaded
staff and other administrative depart
ments. and is taking other steps which,
it is believed, will result in economy as
well as inn increasing the efficiency OF
the army,
The Red Cross depot under the aus
pfces of Grand Duchess Elizabeth, Wild
ow Of Grand Duke Sergius, is doing ex-
cellent work in providing officers who
lost their effects in the retreat from
Mukden with linen and other necessa-
ries. Some officers are now being sup
piled with outfits who had had no
change OF linen since February 2s.

Of Redistricting City Reiccted--Cor-

Legislature In Accordance with Vote
Taken Last Night.
At the special meeting Of the board OF
aldermen last evening II was voted to
try five voting machines. Three Of these
will be used in the Tenth and two in
the First ward.
The proposed changes in the collec-
tion of the city taxes in accordance
with the modified Lewis plan. which
was adopted by the board Of finance,
was disposed Of. The matter was re-
Gently referred to the committee on leg
islation o. the board Of aldermen and
that committee submitted a report to
the board last night to the effect that
the proposed plan be rejected and that
the corporation counsel be instructed
to appear before the legislature, as rep
resenting the city, and ask that it be
rejected there also. After lot of talk
on behalf of numberiof the aldermen
the report was adopted and its reccom-
inendations passed. This vote places
the corporation counsel in a most, pc
culiar position. The board of finance
has already authorized him to appear
in favor of the plan and now the al
dermen give him just the opposite in
structions. II was stated last night
. that the matter now confronting the
corporation counsel would undoubtedly
be a sort of a test case. as 1t were.
A request was received from the
veterans who are erecting the Soldiers
monument on the Broadway green for a
donation of S1,500 to be used in the en-
tertaining the governor and the other
guests who are to be here on that occa-
sion. Alderman Montgomery stated
that inasmuch as it had been the GUS
tom of the city to donate 81, 900 on sim
liar occasions he though that all should
be treated the same. Alderman Minor
moved that the sum of $1,000 be appro-
priated for this purpose. Alderman El-
liott stated that under the city charter
the city was restricted from voting a
sum greater than s1,50O, but that this
law had been grained thirty or forty
years ago when the city had less than
half the population 1t now has. He
thought that $1,50O was small enough
su mfor the city to provide in a case
like the present and he amended that
the full $1,5OO be given in accordance
with the request The amendment was
lost and the motion to give $1,000 was
adopted
Alderman Elliott read petition

Cotton Growing in East Africa.

London, March 90 The report Of the
commissioners sent out BY the British
government to investigate the cotton
growing possibilities in East Africa is
published this evening in the form Of a
White Paper. 1t says:
Unless difficulties which at present
appear to be insuperable can be re-
moved, cotton cultivation Id East AT
RIGA will never be undertaen on any
considerable scale" First among the
difficulties the commissioners place la
Dor, on account of the apathy Of the
natives and iIeir Discrimination to
work, The total urea devoted to cotton
growing under European supervision
can scarcely exceed a few thousand
acres. The commissioners opinion is
that the only solution OF the difficulty
is indentured labor from India or
China.

Provincetown, Mass, March 20
Sixteen fishing vessels were driven
ashore on the northwest side of the
harbor to-day by large ice field,
which was suddenly pushed in from the
bay by a heavy easterly gale.
So extensive was the field that the
entrance to the harbor was choked, and
the port cleared Of vessels, with the
exception of the tug Peter B. Bradley,
which crowded her way through the
ice cakes. She had a hole punched in
her bow, but saved herself from sink
ing by emptying her forward water
tanks. 45
Twelve Of the vessels belong in this
port. while the others are owned in
Boston.
All the stranded scheoners rest on
the soft mud bottom. but four of them
are SO far up on the beach that they
will probably have to be lightered.

!. st. Petersburg, March 2o.--A dispatch
from General Linevitch dated March 1s.
Q D. M. says:
"The commander of the Second army
reports that he has had no further
fighting.
mo reports have been received from
the First and Third armies
II have inspected the troops which
have arrived from Russia. They are in
excellent spirits and good health.'
London, March 21.-General Line
vitch's report to the emperor that ne
had inspected newly arrived troops
causes considerable speculation in Lon
don as indicating that the commanders
in-ehief of the Russian army in Nam
churia either had gone much farther
north than had been supposed or that
Russian reinforcements are still being
sent south from Harbin.s The latter
hypothesis is considered hardly likely
in view of the fact that the Russians
are trying to effect the speediest possi-
BILE retirement on Hardin. Clearly rig
orous censorship is being enforced from
both the Russian and Japanese sides.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the Morning Post declares that Russia
is stubbornly prolonging a hopeless
struggle in the hope of dragging in
foreign intervention to dictate settle
ment more favorable to her than would
be possible by direct negotiations with
Japan.

Noble Animal Defes Flame and Smoke in Saving His Little Mas ter-Thrilling Incident of
 Swiss Village.

It was midnight. The little Swiss town of St. Saphorin lay slumbering Not soul was abroad to notice certain house from which the blue smoke curled.
 Within the burning house father, a mother and three young children lay sleeping.
 An ominous cracking succeeded the silent outpouring of the smoke The woodwork was ablaze.
 A mortified man sat up in bed. With eyes outstaring, he tried to penetrate the darkness. He caught sight of small glow that issued from beneath the door.
 He awoke his wife, and, endeavoring to hide his awful fear quickly explained the danger. Then. bidding her await his return, he opened the door and disap- peared into dense cloud of smoke.
 A moment later he had entered his children's bedroom. Cropping his way to a cot, he seized the youngest child in one arm, whilst with the other he threw his little daughter, dazed and scarcely awake, over his shoulder.
 And now came the terrible journey down the already burning stairs. But help was at hand, for just as they reached the bottom of the stairs the front door burst open, and the half-suffocated family staggered into the street.
 Suddenly piteous cry broke from the mi All. Henri? Her little four-year-old boy lay

A CRY BURST FROM THE MOTHER. sleeping in the burning house! An ex. clamation of horror escaped the father.
 He looked around him helplessly. Just then his retriever trotted up to him. Its faithful brown eyes. gazing trustfully up into his masters face sent a wild thought through the distracted mans mind.
 Co, fetch Henri!' he said, pointing to the burning house.
 Would the dog go? On him alone hung Henri's life. A second the hand some creature hesitated. then. trotting forward, was swallowed in the thick smoke.
 A minute went by-one terrible min- ute in which the anxious parents stood. hoping with the hope of despair. Then through the smoke there loomed . strange creature. Could this hairless. black animal l' the handsome retriever? It must be. But how he staggered. Sur:ly he was carrying something-al lit- tie night-clad figure!
 A cry burst from the mother. She rushed forward and snatched her baby to her arms-saved by a faithful dog.
