SECRETARY HAY
Is TAKEN SICK.
He Is Seized with a Fit of Weakness
as He Is About to Board a
Steamer for Europe.

New York, March 1S.-Secretary Of
State Hay was taken i'll today as he
was about to board the White Star liner
Cretic for a voyage to the Mediterra-
mean and became SO weak that he was
taken on board the steamer in a wheeled
chair. That his condition was not re-
garded as alarming seemed apparent.
however, as the steamer started on her
voyage without delay.
Nearly Faints on Landing.
At the White Star dock there are
three short flights of stairs leading to the
second floor, from which floor the board
ing of the steamers is made In going
up these stairs Mr. Hay had to rest at
each landing. Just as he reached the top
he reeled back, but recovered himself
and kept on. AS he was about to start
up the gangplank he was seen to turn
deathly white and stagger and he would
have fallen had not his friend supported
him.
Assisted on Board.
The secretary was assisted to q heap
of freight, where he sat down and waited
until an invalid's chair was brought from
the steamer. He was then wheeled
aboard the steamer and went at once to
his apartments. No word came from
Mr.. Hays apartments and the Cretic left
her dock promptly on schedule time.
The Cretic is not equipped with wire
less telegraph and except for possible
signals to passing vessel no word Of the
secretaryS condition will be had until
she reaches the Azores, her first stopping
place.
AS she passed Sandy Hook the Cretic
displayed signal, saying that Secretary
Hay was much better.

ment occupied Kaiyuan, twenty miles
north of Tie pass. The enemy afterward
attempted a counter attack, but were re
pulsed. The enemy burned bridges on
the main road south Of Kaiyuan and also
destroyed part of a railway bridge. A
number of Russian guns were found
buried near Mukden.''
ST. Petersburg, March 2O.-A dispatch
from Gen. Linevitch, dated March -,
y p. M, says:
..The commander of the Second army
reports that he has had no further fight
ing.
mo reports have been received from
the First or Third armies.
L have inspected the troops which
have arrived from Russia. They are in
excellent spirits and good health"
St. Petersburg, March 2O.-4:20 p. NJ
Anxiety regarding the fate of Gen. Line
vitch's force continues, the main danger
to them being the japanese columns
which are hurrying northward along the
grade trade route twenty miles west of
and parallel with the line of retreat. The
head of these columns were officially re-
ported to be passing FakOman, thirty
miles northwest of Tie pass, on Friday.
Their appearance doubtless FASTENED the
Russian retirement, which may now have
become literally a race northward, as
once the Russians are headed it would be
easy for the japanese by a short cut to
throw themselves across the line of re-
treat.
Linevitch Divides Army.
After leaving Kaiyuan. Gen. Linevitch
is believed to have divided his army, the
main portion clinging to the railroad and
the other falling back along the Man
DARN road, which runs to Kirin, it being
impossible to leave the latter open to the

SEEDING IN PROGRESS IN WEST.
ERN CANADA.
Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.

A'Aio "eather Is Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.
Inc splendid yields of wheat, oats
ana barley produced by the farmers of
western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same. have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States
AS a result the inquiries made Of the
agents Of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad com
panies are putting on increased car
rying capacity to meet the demand
made upon them for carrying pasSen-
gers and freight. Everything points to
a most prosperous year. There is room
for hundreds of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years.
and considering the large number il
is surprising how few there are who.
nave not succeeded. An extract from
a letter written by Mr. Geo. w. Girls
void, of Red Deer, Alta, formerly
Of Greber, Mont, written on the ID
OF January, is as follows:
Il am located one and one-half miles
from a beautiful lake ten miles long,
where there is church, school, three
stores, creamery and two postofices
The fine stock, both cattle Cows and
steers), horses, hogs and sheep are roll
ing fat, grazing in pastures to-day,
just little snow, hardly enough for
good sleighing, as we just had a chi
nook which has melted the roads and
laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are fine wheat, oats, barley and fax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co
lumbia. This is a mixed farming and
dairy country. This is the right time
to get q foothold in the Canadian
West, as it was some years ago in the,
United States. We are free from wind
gumbo and alkali here and have fine,
clear, soft we'll and spring water at
a depth of from five to twenty-five
feet, and lots Of open OVERLOOKING
springs"
Ielegraphic advices from Medicine

up on the left flank. At the same time it
is recognized that separation Of forces
is always attended with the danger of
giving the enemy an opportunity to con-
centrate and fight the army in detail.
May Try to Hold Line.
Some military men here believed that
Linevitch will try to hoId the line from
lAirk to Changoun, twelve miles north Of
Tie pass. The first corps composed of
steady troops from st. Petersburg and
formerly commanded by Gen. Meyen-
dorff, is covering the retreat which the
war office declares is proceeding in an
orderly fashion.
Complete details Of the losses at the
battle of Mukden are not yet available
at the war office, but the reports thus
far received indicate that 100000 men
were killed, wounded or made prisoners,
and that about eighty field guns were
captured. Almost every siege gun, it is
affirmed, was removed.
Kuropatkin's Nerves Shattered.
The story that Gen. Kuropatkin re-
manned at the front in command Of Gen.
Linevtch's old First army is untrue. He
is proceeding to Irkutsk, where he may
stop a short time to recuperate before
returning to st. Petersburg. His nerves
are said to be badly shattered. 1t is
again being positively affirmed that Ku-
ropatkin requested the Emperor to re-
lieve him.
Emperor Nicholas is almost in daily
conference with Gen. Dragomiroff, Min
lister of War Sakharoff and others on
the situation and the general staff is
theoretically at work planning the re-
organization Of the army and consider
ing the ways and means. Preparations
continue irrespective Of the possib ilities
Of peace for a demonstration of Russia s
ability to prosecute the war which is
regarded as vital whether peace negotia-
lions begin or not
The bankers and Finance Minister Ko-
koysoff have had final meeting at which
terms for the new internal loan were
completed. 1t is expected they will be
formally announced in a few days.
Slavs Eat Their Horses.
.-okio, March 2O.-The remnants of the
Russian army retreating from the direc-
ton of Shingking are in pitiable plight
among the mountains. They are without
food and are killing and eating their
horses They are completely enveloped
bv the japanese.
The Russian main retreat is continuing
toward Hardin. The activity of the pur-
suing japanese gives the Russians no
time to rest.
