Retreat of the Russians.

Gunshu Pass. March 20.-The last
two days have been utterly without
incident except for the removal of
the censor to Kudsihu pass. The Rus
sian rear guard is retreating slowly,
and engaging in OCCASIONAL skirmishes.
1t has now reached a position 27 miles
north of Tie pass. The Japanese are
slowly advancing, without pressing the
Russians. In the course of the re-
treat the Russians are burning
bridges, tearing up the railway road
bed and highways, and carrying off
stores and demolishing buildings and
everything not portable. Reports of
wide turning movement by the Ja-
panese are no longer being received.
There is increasing difficulty in Sc
curing 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 employ
ed as servants by Russian officers
have run away, and other consequen-
ces of the evacuation of Mukden are
noticeable in the attitude of the Chi
neSe.

MURDER At BUTTE.
George Burke, an Old-Time Miner
Killed in a Saloon.

Butte. March 1S.-George Burke, an
old-time miner of this city, was shot
and instantly killed in the st. Law
Pat Rogers.
Rogers is well known in police cir
cles, having been up before the courts
on many charges. He was one OF the
principals in the famous Jail delivery
of two years ago in which about a
dozen desperate criminals, including
Martin, who was later recaptured and
hanged for murder, escaped from the
county Jail.
1t seems that Rogers had taken a
hat from man sleeping at table
and the bartender, Mr.. Keane, told
him to leave the man alone. Rogers
took offense at this and left the place
in rage. He had been gone only a
few seconds when large rock came
crashing through the window and bare
ly missed the bartender's head. This
was about 9 O'Clock.
Nothing more was Seen of Rogers
until about 4:30 this morning when
he entered the saloon with revolv.
er in each hand. Levelling the guns
at Keane, he said: Throw up your
hands, you dirty -, and get down
on your knees" Before keane could
comply with the command. Burke,
who had been sitting in chair. ap.
parently asleep, got up. and swinging
a chair, hit Rogers on the head with
it. Rogers turned quick as a fash
fired point blank at Burke. and sent
bullet tearing through his heart.
AS soon as Burke fell to the floor
Rogers succeeded in making his get
away, and has not been apprehended
up to the present time.

HIS IDEAS CORREcTRED.
Young Mr.. Williams Held Strange
Views Regarding Montana.


Lombard. Mont, March 16.-Marvin
G. Williams, a young man eighteen
years old, who had just arrived from
Pennington, Mo-, last night was shot
through the hand i'm Butler & Beck's
saloon at this place in an attempt to
knock revolver from his hand, which
he had drawn on a man named Doug
las, without provocation.
1t seems Williams thought Montana
a wild and woody place. where gun
plays were everyday occurrences. So,
Immediately on his arrival in Lom-
bard, he began drinking. and shortly
was staggering around town, mag
lining himself bad man.
During the evening he was put out
of the hotel for using abusive langu-
age, and went across the street to
Butler & Peck's saloon, where he pick
ed a quarrel with Douglas, saloon
man. Mr.. Douglas said something
that Williams did not like, and ne at
once drew his gun, but before he could
fire, Mr.. Peck, who was tending bar,
drew his gun from behind the bar
and shot Williams through the hand,
knocking the gun from his hand, and
in all probability saving Douglas lie.
Sheriff Munden, of BrOadwater cOun-
ty, and Doctor w. G. Gillian were
called, and took Williams to Town
send, although the affray occurred in
Gallatin county.

Friday for the LewistOwn country.

Other Murders Feared.

st. Petersburg, March 21, 2:17 a.
Nippon the quietude of the Man
churian situation there has burst the
news of the attempted assassination
of another high official in Finland,
whose efforts for the classification of
the grand duchy have exposed him to
the vengeance of the young Fenno-
mans.
The incident indicates that the rev.
Olutionists have not abandoned the
policy of terrorism, but are determin-
ed to have more blood, and it pre-
sages further crimes of like nature.
The authorities are drawing up
program of administrative reforms for
Finland, with a view to re-establish-
ing order and diminishing racial an
tagOnisms.

From Manchuria.

Viborg, Finland, March 20.-Gover-
nor Miasdoff was shot and seriously
wounded today by boy, whose iden-
tity has not yet been ascertained.
The assassin, who is about Is years
old. obtained an entrance to the gov
ernor's office and fired three times
at him. One bullet inflicted a serious
wound, and the others slightly wound
ed the governor in the leg. The gov
ernor's clerks and seCietaries were
unable to stop the would.be assassin,
who reached the street, where, how
ever, he was arrested without a strug-
gle.
The governors condition is criti-
cal.
The youth who shot the governor
has been identified as Malli Hjlimair
Reinikke. who admits that he Is
revolutionist. He halls from Kurikke
parish, in the northwest part of Fin
land. but recently has been living in
Stockholm to avoid arrest on account
of his known revolutionary ideas. He
returned four days ago to Finland by
way of Tornnea, and spent three days
in Viborg, but declines to reveal his
stopping place.
Governor Miasodoff has been most
energetic in the classification of Fin
land, and memorials have been sent
to the czar petitioning his removal on
account of his alleged Illegal methods,
which have brought about general con-
ditions in his province which were
pronounced to be intOlerable.

MO Re ABOUT "SCOTTY"
AND HIS LOAD OF GOLD
OR BUG JUICE, AND HE WANTS
TO MAKE A NEW RAILROAD
RECORD.

A Los Angeles dispatch, probably
from the fertile, imaginative mind of
C. e. Van Loan, of the Hearst Exam
ined, dated October IL, says:
With several burros loaded down
with pure gold and valued at $165,000,
Waiter Scott, the so-called Croesus
Of Death Valley, arrived at Barstow
yesterday, escorted by a body of sew
en- heavily armed men. The trip from
the mysterious mine on the desert
was accomplished by much hardship,
and "Scotty" looked tired and worn
to an unusual degree when he arrived
here.
During an interview he stated that
but that he intended paying them
what they had put in to help him de-
velop the mine, although he preferred
using the money to establish a new
railroad record to New York.
Scott stated that he had telegraph
ed officials of both the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific, offering $4,000 for
a train from San Francisco to New
York, with an average speed of a mile
a minute and that he offered to bet
$4,000 that he can make his word
good and beat the record by seven
hours.
He received an answer from the
Santa Fe people stating that he was
crazy, also that the road was in no
condition to make such a schedule.
The Southern Pacific has not replied
as yet.

DELAYED INSTALLATION OF
BLOCK SIGNAL SYSTEM.

In view of the fact that the first
work of installing the block signal
system along the Southern Pacific is
along the main line of the road in
Louisiana and due to the existing
quarantine regulations and conditions
in that state, it can be readily be seen
that the work has been practically
suspended, as each parish has quar-
antined against the others, and the
forces at work installing this system
have been compelled to temporarily
disband.
The plan adopted for block signal
ing the Southern Pacific lines is the
installation of 100 miles a year until
the entire system has been installed
between New Orleans and Ell Paso.
This year, the distance from New
Orleans to Lafayette, La, was the por-
| ton of the line selected for the com
mencement of the proposed work, and
accordingly, early in the year work
was commenced, but owing to the
prevalence of yellow fever in the state
of Louisiana work has been temper
a. lily suspended.
