Report of North Sea Commission
Ready for Review.

Ready TOR REVIEW.
Paris, Feb. 24-The North sea COM
mission has given out semi-offici
statement as to it's findings.
The principal author of the report
is Admiral Won Spaun (Austrian), but
all the members of the commission
collaborated in drawing it up. The
commission gives no opinion on the
question of the presence or absence of
Japanese torpedo boats in the North
sea, declaring merely that the Russian
admiral quite legitimately believed
that his squadron was endangered and
that he had the right to act as he did.
The commissioners refer to the Rus
sian governments engagements to in
demnify the victims of the deplorable
incident The public sitting for the
reading of the conclusions will prob
ably be held Saturday.

MURDER ADDED TO ROBBERY
Minneapolis coachman Dies of Wounds
Received in HoIdup.


Received in Holdup.
Minneapolis, Feb. 24.-The robbery
and shooting affray at the residence
of DR.. Mueller, Feb. IA, has developed
into a murder.
Emil Roggatz, coachman for DIR.
Mueller, shot down by three masked
thugs, who are still at large, died dur
int the day at the Swedish hospital.
At nearly the same hour Don, the faith
full st. Bernard dog who sprang to the
rescue of Mrs. Mueller when she was
being chased through the house by one
of the thugs and saved her life, died
at the Mueller home.
Blood poisoning developed from the
bullet which was imbedded in Rog-
gatz' stomach and was the immediate
cause of death. Before his death
Roggatz was able to give good de-
scription of his assailants.

WITH The UTMOST ENERGY.
Gear Decides to Vigorously Prosecute
the War.

Berlin, Feb. 24.-The emperor OF
Russia has elected to continue the
var.
His position is absolutely frm and
the German court has been advised in
that sense. The war will be pressed
with the utmost energy, the domestic
situation being now within. the control
OF the authorities. Those who have
advised peace and suggested inquiries
for Japan's terms, the French and
British governments, are for the pres
ent silent and are likely to remain SO
unless events of an extraordinary
character shake the Russian emper-
Or's resolution. The considerations
that led to the emperor's decision as
understood here are:
Firsr-The judgment of the chiefs
Of the army that Field Marshal Oyama
not only cannot defeat General Kuro-
patkin but stands in danger of defeat
himself. How cowardly, therefore, for
Russian to ask for mercy, with all the
men and money essential to success
full war.
Second-A1l the forces of criticism
now directed against the government
for having fought rather than yield to
legitimate interests and for having
failed to win victories would be con-
tinued with added fury against the
government that accepted war and
then betrayed the country. A govern
ment that would crave peace of Rus
sia's enemy while still capable Of win
ming victories would be giving the
party of change genuine grounds for
q revolution.
The facts of the military situation,
love of country and arguments Of ex-
pediency were all against peace and
for pressing the war hopefully.

PEACE RUMoRs PREMATURE
Time Not Yet Opportuns fer Russia t
End War.

Washington, Feb. 24.-There was an
unusual influx of representatives OF
foreign countries even for a diplomatic
day at the state department and many
OF them called upon Secretary Hay
primarily to secure any information
he might have respecting the founda-
tion for the sudden revival of talk of
peace negotiations. The Russian am
bassador was a prominent caller, but
the Japanese minister was absent, be-
ing out of town on q duck hunting
trip. The secretary had nothing new
to communicate, as such information
as he has received failed to indicate
that the time had not yet arrived for
any change in the attitude of the gov
ernment of the United States towards
the belligerents, nor was there evil
dence that the European governments
have been doing Saore than to take
careful soundings to test the real SEN
timents of the belligerents with the
result that they also are satisfied that
the opportune moment has not arrived
for the exhibition of prSssure in the
direction of peace, even in the most
friendly and amicable spirit.

From Enemy.
Newchwang, Feb. 24.-Numbers of
paroled Russian officers who took part
in the defense of Port Arthur, claim
ing that they are on their way to their
homes in Siberia, have reached here
from Shanghai and go hence to Sin
mintin. From the latter place they
journey to Mukden in carts, travelling
at night so as to avoid Chinese ban
dts.
Russian agents west of the Liao
river keep in touch with certain in
habitants of Newchwang and it is be-
ieyed that several foreigners who
have since removed from here inspired
the first Russian raid on Newchwang.
The Japanese administration is now
exercising more strict censorship
and is taking steps to prevent a re-
petition of the leakage of information.
The administration has issued a proc
lamation offering rewards for informa-
ton regarding Russian movements
and the whereabouts of spies or per-
sons attempting to damage the rail
roads or telegraphs.
