PERIL OF TACoMA's CREW.
Barely Escapes Death in the Ice F1oes
on Hokkaido. 81.

YOKOHAMA, March 29.-The crew of
the steamship Tacoma, owned by the
Northwestern Commercial Steamship
Company of Seattle, which was cap
tured by the Japanese on March IA
north of the island of Hokkaido, ar
rived here to-day and were released
They tell a graphic story of their ad-
ventures in the ice foes from Febru-
ary to March H.
The Tacoma left Seattle at midnight
on January 5 and on January IA
reached Dutch Harbor, where she
coaled. On February the vessel be-
came helplessly icebound north of Hok-
kaido Island and was seriously threat
ened by the heavy ice packs which
crashed and pounded against her sides
with a report that could be heard for
miles. The decks and rigging were
covered by hundreds of tons of ice
The crew expected that the vessel
would be crushed and made sleds so
as to be prepared to seek land.
The supply of coal ran short and the
fires were put out, which resulted in
many of the crew nearly afreezing to
death. Provisions also ran short and
the cargo of beef had to be broached.
On March IL the Tacoma drifted in
the midst OF an ice foe only a half
mile from the dangerous rocks near
which the British steamship Mars
stranded few days later.
On March IA the Tacoma encoun-
tered Japanese warship by which she
was seized.

? AID SALARY
FOR No WORK

ALBANY, n. Y, March 29.-Frank
p. Ball, the Dunkirk ticket broker, al
legged to have been placed in the FIRE.
donia postoffice through the influence
of Justice Hooker, testified to-day be-
fore the Assembly Judiciary Commit
tee, which is investigating the charges
against Justice Hooker.
Ball said that, although he had done
no work at the Fredonia postofice, he
had received $2533. Practically all of
this, he said, was used to repay the
wife of Judge Hooker. who had en-
! dorsed note for him. Later he re-
turned every dollar of the amount he
had received to the postmaster at FIRE.
dOnia, who had been ordered to refund
it to the Government.
Ball testified that he was notified by
Postmaster Taylor that he had received
an order from the department to repay
to the Government all the money that
had been paid to Ball as salary. In
the same month Ball gave a note to
Taylor for $2500 and a check for. the
remainder of the money.
1t was developed by the evidence that
three men, one a newspaper man Of
New York city, and the two others
hostile to Justice Hooker, had at
tempted to corrupt the testimony of
Ball by assuring him that he would
not have to pay the $2500 note, and
that they would furnish a lawyer at
their expense to defend any suits that
might be brought as the result of the
non-payment of the note If he would
disclose evidence which they believed
he possessed in regard to Judge
Hooker Ball declined to enter into any
agreement to injure Hooker.

Russian Army Fortifying
to Resist japanese, Who
Are Gathering in Force
to Make an Attack
COMMUNICATIONS
ARE THREATENED
Part of 0yama's Force Is
Approaching Kirin and
Claim Is Again Made That
Harbin Will Soon Be Taken

HARDIN, March 29. There has
been no fighting of consequence
lately. Reconnaissance establish the
fact that the Japanese are gather
ing in strong force twenty miles
south of Sipinghai, evidently intending
to attack the Russian position at Sip
inghai. The Russians are strongly for
tifying there and apparently. expect to
make stand. The country is compar
atively clear of japanese.
The Japanese are approaching Kirin,
threatening communication in the Us
surf district.
The number of Chinese bandits is
constantly augmenting.
Chinese continue to report that Field
Marshal Oyama has issued proclama-
tions fixing the date for the occupation
of Harbin as April 10, but this predic-
ton. If actual is apparently improbable
of fulfillment.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 80, 2:30
a m.-Another duel between the op-
posing armies in Manchuria may be on
the programme for the coming week
The Russians, according to a Harbin
correspondent, are now strongly forti-
flying their positions at Sipinghai,
against which the Japanese are report
ported Russian retirement from Sip
inghai to Chaoumiaodzi was Incorrect
due to telegraphic error in the con-
fusion of similar Chinese names, Cha
oumiaodzi with Shuamuyaotzi, south
of Sipinghai, whence the Russian ad-
vanced force retired to the fortified line
at Sipinghai. The Japanese followed
to some extent, but a border of twenty
miles of debatable ground still remains
between the two armies, over which
the japanese probably will, not advance
until they are ready to attack
Equally important news is that a
column of Japanese is moving against
Kirin, perhaps with the intention of
turning the position eastward and
striking at the Vladivostok line of COM
munication with the double purpose of
isolating the fortress and separating
General Linevitch's army from a val
liable base of supplies, the Ussuri dis

Japan's Insistence Upon Indemnity
May Block Progress Toward
Early Ending of War.
Gar Has Done Nothing More Thus
Far Than to Indicate Terms
He Would Accept.

ST. PETERSBURG. -March 80.
e. m.-Oficially the authorities con-
unue to deny stoutly that Russia has
made any proposals to Japan. This
IS literally true. as Russia has only
made known the negative conditions,
leaving the Intermediary to convey
the conditions to Japan on its own re-
sponsiDility.
Diplomats in St. Petersburg are
convinced that something is in prog
ress. bat none of those in a position
10 know viii acknowledge that they
are aware OF what actually has been
or is being done.
The NoVoe Nremya yesterday for
the first time admitted the possibil-
ity of negotiations for peace, COM
menting on the efforts OF the British
and French press TO prove that peace
is advisable for both Russia and Jap
an. The Novoe Vremya declared that
the payment of indemnity by Russia
was utterly out of the question, as il
would be a contribution tending TO
build up the strength of Japan. and
that Japan was not in a position TO
claim indemnity.
The paper asks whether diplomats
who did nothing to prevent war"
now viii turn their attention TO bring
ing il to a close on terms advanta-
geous to both combatants.
Russia's attitude was described yes
terday by diplomat as follows:
The Government is now for peace,
but continues to prepare for war.

LOCAL CAPITAL
RUNS TO LOAN

Subscriptions in this city for the new
japanese loan were made yesterday to
the amount of $3.50, 900, or 81. 10000 in
excess of the amount that was reported
to be allotted to the Pacific Coast. The
subscriptions began promptly at 10:30,
the hour announced for the beginning.
Investors were early in evidence at
both the Nevada Natioal> Bank and at
the Anglo-C Californian Bank, which
were authorized to handle the loan on
the Pacific Coast. The allotment of
$500, 900 was all taken within an hour.
Telegraphic dispatches were received
from the East at noon, giving informa-
tion that the Eastern subscriptions had
been SO large that it had. been decided
to close the taking of subscriptions
there at 3 O'Clock this afternoon, in
stead of continuing to the time first
set for the closing namely, on April
5. The same will be done here.
The sum of $2,000,000 was subscribed
within very short time, less than half
an hour, after the opening of the local
banks. The subscriptions ranged from
as low as $3.50 to thousands of dollars.
The record in this city was broken.
New York asked that San Francisco
might give up some Of the share of the
loan allotted to 1t, but the subscrip-
tions had already been taken. Prob
ably subscriptions will be received
through interior California banks and
also from Washington and Oregon to-
day.
The Japanese loan is for $3.50. oO0, 600.
The principal and interest are both
made first charge on the revenues of
the Imperial Japanese Government to-

is Az per cent.

CHINA FACES
CRAVE CRISIS

VICTORIA, B. c., March 29.-Mail
advices received from Peking by the
Empress of Japan are to the effect
that high officials Of China recognize
that China will have to pass through
a grave crisis threatening the very
foundations Of her independence and
integrity at the close of the war, and
that to avert anarchy and chaos the
empire must be well armed and ready.
The Manchu civil and military au-
thorities are accordingly rearming the
various banner organizations. Manchu,
Mongol and Chinese. At the end OF
February twenty-eight battalions, in
addition to the 1000 Manchus equipped
with good arms in 1902. had been pro-
vided with magazine rifles. Factories
are working overtime to provide 80, 900
rifles more for the Chinese forces at
Peking. These forces will form the
nucleus of a modern Chinese army to
be organized without delay. An army
OF half million men is expected to be
ready, well armed, for the defense of
Peking before June.

BILDERLING's BLUNDER.
Kuropatkin's Plan of Retreat Upset by
Subordinate.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 80, ESQ
a. m.-An interesting fact throwing
light on the supersession of General
Bilderling from the command of the
Third Manchurian Army has been
brought out by a Russian dispatch
from Gunshu Pass, describing the re-
treat from Mukden. According to the
plan Of retreat as outlined each divi-
sion of the Third Army was to have
retired by the Mandarin road and roads
to the eastward of that highway. In
stead it moved for some reason along
roads to the west of the Mandarin
road. leaving a breach between the
First and Third armies, of which the
Japanese took advantage.
The correspondent says the wagon
trains were ordered north three days
before the evacuation, but their de-
parture was delayed, causing confu-
sion in the withdrawal.
Discussing the battle of Sandepu the
correspondent says he personally saw
a map made from observation by a
balloon on January 20, showing the re-
doubt at Sandepu on which the attack
was shattered. but of the existence of
which the attacking force first learned
during the attack-"an unimportant
detail, but one which cost us 10, 600
men and the success of the opera
tion"

RIGOROUS PEACE TERMS.
Japan Is Said TO Demand $500. .OOO. 900
Indemnity.

PARIS. March 29. = All the official
information relative TO peace is of a
negative nature At the same time
the ofticia, view is now strongly opti-
mistic that peace is not far distant.
This view is not due to exact informa-
ton, but is the result of a settled cons
Viction that peace is the only logical
outcome OF Russla's present predica-
ment. However. the Foreign Office re-
fuses to credit the various reports that
France is taking a hand in the nego-
iiations or preliminaries and specific
ally denies the report from a northern
capital that Russia has asked Foreign
Minister Delcasse to act as intermedi-
ary.
Another report prominently displayed
in the Echo de Paris to-day says the
United States lis about to make a
coup de theater by initiating peace"
This likewise is not credited in high
quarters. as letters just received from
ambassador Mccormick say Russia
has not made any advances through
him.
Although official information is lack
ing il is asserted in we'll informed d
quarters that Japan has permitted
Russia TO learn that the peace condi-
tions will be rigorous and will not be
responsive TO the recent sentimental
plea to Japan's magnanimity. In par
ticular, it is said that Japan's indenl-
nifty figure is $500, 600, 900 and that this
stupendous sum has proved SO stagger-
ing to Russian diplomacy that it is the
chief cause why the peace preliminaries
do not advance TO a decisive stage.
