Fears Japs May Gut Railroad
 West of Harbin
WOMEN ORDERED TO LEAVE
Orders Given for Them to Depart From vIadIvostok at once-Russlans Need 100000 More
 Troops.

Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, March 2S COS miles north of Tie Pass) .-The Japanese are following the Russian rear guard, which Is moving north from Santoupu at the rate of eight and half miles day. On both Hanks the Japanese are operat- ing wide turning movement, but the strength of the flanking forces has not been definitely ascertained.
 At a number of places along the rail- road between santoupu and Gunshu Pass there are broken hills with steep sides and gorges at the bottom, where stub born resistance might be made, but 1t Is doubtful whether General Linevitch will make stand before he reaches the Sun gari river and Chanchiatu. Unless he is able to hold the line of river the Rus sian position will be so weak strategically that he may be compelled to retire back of Harbin into siebria, owing to the fact that as they approach Harbin the Rus sian front parallels the railroad, render ing the danger of a severance of the sole line of communication greater.
 Only Small Guards Necessary.
 While the army Is still far from Sibe- ria and with the Chinese Eastern railroad behind it. and a perpendicular front the Siberian railroad is in danger only from rowing Chinese bandits, and the compara- lively small railroad guards are suffi- cient to protect the bridges.
 But once the army falls back behind the sungari river, communication with the far away base will be terribly jeopar- dized, not by the small number of guards, but by the army which will be required to protect the railroad. The prospect of the isolation of Vladivostok must also be met and 1t is urgently necessary to sup ply the garrison with provisions and ann munition not for few months, but for two years.
 Two hundred thousand endorsements from Russia are now necessary to make 1t possible for the Russians to meet the Japanese on anything like even terms.
 Women Are Ordered to Leave.
 St. Petersburg, March 2S--It is an- nounced here that all the women have been ordered to leave vladivostok.

LintVitch May Leave Fortress
 to Shift for Itself
SUPPLIES IRE BADLY NEEDED
Reports From Front Make Nicholas Much More Willing to Listen to Peace Talk-Llnevitch's
 Position Is Weak.

St. Petersburg, March 24, 145 a. m.-The possibility that if the Russian army should not be able to hold the lower line of the Sungarl river, at Chunehiatsu, it may be compelled to retreat not only to Harbin, but also further westward along the railroad, abandoning 10 the Japanese northern Manehuria, and the Russian maritime Amur provinces, is the latest startling news from the front.
 The strategic weakness of General Line vitchs position as he falls back north- ward is made clear by a Gunshu dispatch to the Associated Press. in which 1t is pointed out that unless Chunchlatsu and the Sungari lines, scant hundred miles below Harbin. can be held 1t will be difficult to maintain position farther back, before Harbin, where with the front of the army paralleling the railroad the practicability of a turning movement to completely sever communications and isolate the army, coco miles from home. is too serious for Russian consideration.
 vladivostok Needs Supplies.
 In view of this possibility, the dispatch alluded to suggests the advisabllity of providing Yladlvostok with war munitions and supplies for a two-year siege. The correspondent estimates the number of endorsements needed to give General Linegitch the requisite superiority In force at 100000 That such dispatch should have been permitted to pass She censor at the front is significant, and if General Linevitch has communicated a similar estimate of the situation direct to Emperor Nicholas. 1t may account for his majestys increased disposition to lis- ten to peace counsels and open negotla- tions before the Japanese establish them selves on Russian soil
 With Manchuria entirely abandoned to the Japanese, and Vladivostok left as Russia's solitary sentinel on the Pacific. 1t Is realized that Russia will be prae- tically at the Japanese mercy in the matter of peace terms.
 It can now be definitely stated that the disposition to ahpoint Grand Duke Nich- olaevltch to the supreme command in the far cast was reconsidered because the outlook at the front does not warrant the risk of compromising the prestige of a member of the imperial family.
 Will Risk Whole Army.
 Military authorities here believe that
 
 ability to hold the lower Sungari line he will risk his whole army If he fortifies and concentrates there, as. if he should be defeated, his line of retreat lies in two sides of a triangle, the third side of which is open to the enemy's advance.
 At he geenral saff the view that Gen eral Linevitch may be compelled to aban- don Harbin and retire toward Lake Bai- kal, leaving Vladivostok to its fate, Is regarded as almost unwarranted by any thing that Is officially known there, 1t being pointed out that Field Marshal Oyama will have a long and laborious task to bring up an army of D0,o00 or 100000 men.
 Meanwhile Russian endorsements are arriving at Harbin at the rate of 1900 men per day. Nevertheless it Is significant that there is now a well-marked peace party at the war office.

HARDWOOD MUST
 SUFFER PENALTY
North Carolina Man is DismiSs-
 ed from Navy
LOSES RIGHTS OF CITIZEN
Young Man Was Convicted By Court martial of Desertion and President Roosevelt sustains the
 oentence.

Washington, March 2s.-President Roosevelt has approved the sentence of the courtmartial inflicted upon Midship- man Arrowood of North Carolina, recently tried for desertion from the navy. The sentence carries with 1t dismissal from the navy and the law bearing upon the case provides that man 50 dismissed shall not hereafter be eligible to any of the rights of citizenship.
 The approval of the sentence of the eourtmartial was recommended by Act ing Secretary Darling. Milton W. Arro- wood was appointed to the Naval acad- emy from North Carolina September ', 1900. and went to sea after four years at the academy in March, 1904, on board the flagship Kearsarge. While at the academy his father. the Rev. MT. Arro- wood. insisted that his son should be al- lowed to attend the Presbyterian church at Annapolis instead of the college chapel. From time to time the elder Arrowood in written communications protested to the Navy Department against what he declared to be the "immorar' atmosphere at the academy.
 Dissatisfie- With Service.
 While at sea young Arrowood Is said to have frequently expressed himself as dissatisfied with the service and told his brother officers that he could make more money in private life. Finally he sub mitted his resignation to the department and requested that It be accepted. As all 1 loo tain time in the navy after graduation the resignation was not accepted. On January last, while the Kearsarge was at Hampton Roads, Va, Arrowood left the ship and the Navy Department. after making earnest efforts to get in touch with him, finally called upon the secret service with the result that Arrowood was apprehended in New York. where he had obtained a position, and was deliv- cred on board the receiving ship Han cock at the navy yard. Brooklyn, on February IS.
 courtmartiaI Ordered.
 His trial by court martial was ordered and he was sent to join the Kearsarge in the Caribbean sea and was tried on board that ship. convicted of desertion and sent enced to dismissal. The converting au- thority, Rear Admiral Barker. command er-in-chief of the North Atlantic fleet ap- proved the sentence and forwarded the papers in the case to the department
 In the meantime the Rev MT. Arro- wood addressed several communications to the Navy Department claimed that his son acted rightly in deserting be- cause as he said young Arrowood had not been given just treatment. In be- half of his son he claimed that 1t was impossible for him to lead what the Rev. MT. Arrowood termed a religious life and remain in the service.
 Within the last few days members of the Presbyterian church have appealed to the President to mitigate the sentence by dismissing Arrowood for absence with out leave in order that he might be de- citizenized. This request was refused be- cause of the fact that Arrowood was found guilty not of absence without leave, but of desertion.

for their fun. There are no "blind
tigers" or "joints" in this town
but Arkansas and Pemiscot county
are so close that it is easy to gel
booze from either, and our people
sure do it. They buy in gallon
lots instead of drinks, pints anc
quarts, as formerly, and rarely gel
beer or wine, or light drinks, bu
get red liquor-sometimes of thu
squirrel variety, that causes a man

all the Southern members are mere
dme-servers and monopoly lovers,
but that is all some of them are,
and Mr.. Baker deserves thanks for
frankly telling them so on the
floor of the House. The sooner
the solid South loses its solidity
by the withdrawal of its Wing ele-
ment from the Democratic party,
the better will it be not only fol
the country but also for the De-
mocracy. Only the Republican
party will suffer by it. OF course
these Southern members are not
alone in turning the democracy
they profess to stand for, into a
reproach and by word. Many a
Northern Democrat is just as bad.
But if the Democratic party at the
South were democratic, the task of
making it so at the North would
be greatly simplified."
