MOVING SLOWLY.
Japs Engaged in Fighting Rear Guard
 of the Russians.

Gunshu Pass, March 20.-(Morn- ing. 1.-The last two days have been utterly without incident except for the removal of the censor to Kudzihu Pass. The Russian rear guard is retreating slowly and engaging in occasional position twenty-seven miles north of Tie Pass. The Japanese are slowly advancing without pressing the Rus sians. In the course of the retreat the Russians are destroying bridges, the railroad roadbed and highways and carrying off stores and demolishing buildings and everything not portable. Reports of a wide turning movement by the Japanese are no longer being received.
 There is increasing difficulty in secur% ing relia lie information beyond the limits within which scouting parties are active, on account of the defection of many Chinese to the Japanese side. Many natives who have been employ ed as servants by Russian officers have run away and other consequences of the evacuation of Mukden are noticea- ble in the attitude of the Chinese.
 The troops parted in sadness with Gen. Kuropatkin whose 1abors in shap- ing the ramy are recognized and who was ever attentive to the wants of the soldiers in the matter of food. clothing and shelter. Regardless of the fact that he had been commander in chief, Gen. Kuropatkin offered to re- main here as a subordinate of Gen. Linevitch and as commander of a corps.
 Gen. Linevitch who also enjoys the respect and confidence of the troops as a fighter is determined to initiate reform by weeding out the overloaded staff and other administrative de- partmepts.
 The Red Cross depot under the aus pices of Grand Duchess Elizabeth, widow of Grand DrSe Sergius. is doing excellent work in providing officers who lost their effects in the retreat from Mukden with linen and other nec- essaries Some officers are now being supplied with outfits who had no change of linen sineo FeDruary

See- retary Wilson retire. from the fietj with a swan song technically termed Farmers Bulletin No. 216." Dr. w. H. Hunter, special agent in charge of cot ton boil weevil investigations, has written the bulletin for the secretary He makes the following discouraging announcement at the very outset of his essay:
 The work of the bureau of entomolo gy for several years has indicated that there is not even a remote probability that the boil weevil will ever be ex- terminated. As a matter of fact no in- furious insect has ever been exter- minated"
 pr. Hunter devotes the thirty two pages of his pamphlet to best methods of lodging the weevil. Briefly summed up 1t Is to plant early cotton and af- ter the crop is gathered blow in the old stalks By this method the crop will be harvested before the weevil has an opportunity to get in it's work with the old stalks. Buried. the little beet les will have nothing to live on through the winter. Dr. Hunter sug- gest that the planters get their early varieties of seeds from points as far north as possible and also advises fer tilizing the field in order to hurry up the growth.

MONTGOMERY ALABAMA. TUESDAY, MARCH

British pugiiist, and his manager. Charles Mitchell. White. 1t Is said, will fight Jimmy Britt of San FraA- cisco.
 The Cedric had the hardest experi- ence of the voyage on Wednesday the 18th. Just before dawn while she was going at fair speed three tremendous seas which passengers said seemed from eighty to a hundred feet high, struck her within few moments. The first caught her on the port bow and rolled her heavily to starboard. She had scarcely come up on an even keel again when another monstrous wave struck her forward on the port side, smashed in part of the port rail and shivered several of the port side lights While her bow was sticking out of the side of the second wave a third equally as large caught under her bow. bending several plates on her port side forward. The succession of waves knocked the ship about so violently that several of her passengers were thrown from their berths.
 On Saturday the Cedric passed through fifty carcasses of beeves float tng in the sea.

BROKE UP MEETING.
Pepper Does Not Favor Use of Bombs and
 Dynamite.

Dynamite.
 Chicago March 20.--A meeting including many Socialists which was announced to be the '.second joint meeting of the strikers of the Amaigamated Association of Street Railway and Electric Companies and the Enxineera' ended in riotous scenes today. George K. Pepper. the strike leader and head of the charterless local branch of the Amalsamated, is credited with having broken up the meeting. Pepper denounced the methods he said were approved of by the meting. namely. the use of bombs and dynamite as weapons of modern civili- zation. Order was restored by the police. Pepper leaving the hall quietly, taking large delegation with him.
 A circular signed by W. E. Patrick. sec ond vice-president of the Amalgamated As- sociation, and William Rozelle, who repre- sented the engineers on the Executive Board of the joint unions. called a meeting of strikers to reconsider strike action. The circular stated that the old employees who had returned to work ''were dlsgusted with conditions' and that concerted action would go far toward winning the strike for the defeated men.
 It was announced that the object of the meeting was to organize e branch of the Socialist Trade and Labor Alliance for the striking men. Some fiery speeches were delivered. Things went well until Pepper said the meeting was unauthorized and not necessary: that methods which had all along been denounced by the strike leader were being instilled into the minds of few careless strikers and that bombs and dy- namite could not play part in the fight against the Interborough Company" Then some one in the hall shouted. Throw him out" The cry was taken up and there was a rush for the platform in which tables and chairs were overturned. The police were called and Pepper and his followers ioR4 tI1a which Wi reSuuned

UNITED STATES LIABLE
CASES OF CHEROKEEs AGAINST
 GOVERNMENT DECIDED.
Indians Did Not Want to Leave Their Homes in Alabama, Georgia and Florida for New Hunting
 GrOunda.

Washington March 20.--The cases of the Cherokee nation of Indians and of individual Cherokees against the Uni ted States were decided by the Court of Claims today. They involve & large amount of money and are of an unu- sual and extraordinary character.
 The United States bought the Chero- kee outlet, agreeing to pay for 1t ss.- 300. 900, being about $1 per acre, and also agreeing to reopen a long stand ing controversy between themselves and the Cherokees. In 1885 a treaty was made under which the Cherokees were to move or be removed from Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee to the Indian Territory The Cherokees con tended before they were removed that under the provisions of the treaty they were not to be made to pay the cost of removing from homes which they did not wish to leave to a country to which they did not wish to go. The government, however. held to the con- trary.
 When the Cherokee outlet was sold the Indians stipulated that all of their accounts should be reopened and the matter equitably settled and for that purpose the United States should make out an account and transmit 1t to the Cherokee nation. If the Cherokee na- ton adopted 1t, Congress should imme- diateIv appropriate for whatever bal ance might be found due. The act was adopted, but Congress did not appro- priate the money and for some time did nothing.
 In the present suit the Court of Claims decides that the amount trans mitted by the Secretary of the Interior followed by this inaction of Congress, renders the United States liable for the balance of S1,111.214 with interest from June 12, 1898. which amounts approxl- mately to $4,500.00o.

JAPANESE MOVE SLOWLY

St. Petersburg. March 20.--The latest dispatches from Manchuria indicate that the retreat of the Russian army Is being conducted uneventfully. The last few days were unmarked by any fighting of a serious nature. Both the Russans and the Japanese at this stage are probably considering that march, ing is more important than fighting. The Russians, however, are neglect ing no precautions to impede pursuit and hamper the constructions of per- manent lines of supply.
 A dispatch received yesterday an- nouncing that a cannonade had been heard south of Tie Pass is apparently an error either as to direction or To- cation.
 . M. Tuluzakoff, an Associated Press correspondent who had been accompa- nying General Rennenkampff's corps of the Eastern Army, and whose dispatch es suddenly ceased with the beginning of the retreat, has arrived at Gunshu Pass, having been wounded in the early stage of the retirement, and incapaci- tated from continuing his work.

 The authorities here have from tho first intended to deal with the subject without seeking intervention or joint intervention with the United States up. on knowing what the United St&es in. tended doing upon practical similar con- ditfons, relative to the New York Ber- mudez Asphalt Company. The pur- pose of this appears to be to adopt measures along the same lines as the United States, though maintaining in- dependent action.
 Inquiry at the ministry of marine to- night failed to elicit verification of the report cabIed here from the United States to the effect that French war ships have been ordered to Venezuela. On the contrary, no movements of that character have yet been ordered. More- over there has been no meeting of the cabinet since Friday when it was de- cided not to take definite action until the Venezuelan court should have rem dered final decision. The Foreign Office said specifically that the stage of the sending of warships had not yet been reached.
