PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Russians Getting Active-Weather Is
BAD.

Russians Getting Aetive-Weather Is
Bad
During the past week the Russians
have made the first important move
ment since fall. There was a flying
cavalry raid under Mistchenko not
long ago, but it was not particularly
significant either in its purpose or
results. The present movement ap-
pears to be somewhat different. The
entire Russian right wing seems to
have been active, and there are pre-
dictiOns that it may develop into a
general engagement all along the line.
Just what General KurOpatkin hopes
TO attain is not clear The weather is
decidedly unfav0rable for opening
campaign, and it is said that the hard
ships already encountered are the
worst since the war began. Some of
the European papers say that the Rus
slams have taken the aggressive on
orders from st. Petersburg, the object
being to draw attention from the pres
ent internal upheavals and possibly to
awaken a little enthusiasm by a bril-
liant military stroke at the front
Russian correspondents in the field
predict that a battle will be fought
that will overshadow those on the
Shake river and at Liaoyang, but, I'M
der existing circumstances it would
be unwise to put too much faith on
these predictions. 1t is evident, how
ever, that the engagement which be-
gan three days ago is a serious one,
and while it may not affect any nota-
bic change in the positions of the two
armies that have been in winter quar-
ters, it is likely to result in severe
losses for both sides.

GROVER CLEVELAND SPOKE
Gives Some Good Advice at Y.M.C.A.
Celebration in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Jan. 30.-Grover Cleve-
land was the principal speaker at Sun
days exercises in connection with the
celebration of the 50th anniversary of
the Philadelphia Young Mems Chris
tian association meeting. Three meet
ings were held Sunday afternoon. At
one of them Harry A Garfield, son
of the martyred president, who holds
the professorship of American politics
at Princeton, spoke.
President Clevelands theme was
christianity. Among other things
he said:
"As a serious minded people, con-
scious Of the immense responsibility
resting on us in the matter of popular
rule, we should be a reverent people
not merely by lip service, but rugged
ly, strongly reverent. This is not to
say that we should be a sad and
gloomy people. On the contrary, with
free institutions and with equality of
rights and opportunity which no other
country offers, we should be the most
cheerful and lighthearted people in the
world.
"Itis not worth while to blink at the
fact that, without going far from
home, we can gain hint that nations
called civilized and even Christian are
liable under strong temptation to back
slide to barbarism which permit war
and slaughter to count for people S
greatness and reckon ruthless conquest
among glorious deeds. There is one
effective and constant preventative
against such danger and that is the
sincere acceptance as guidance to
national behavior of the honor, the
love of peace, the devotion to justice
and truth, the forebearance and invioI-
able faith which grow out of genuine
Christianity and civilization. No
stream runs higher than its source;
and government by the people will be
no better than the people make it. If
these qualities are to be recognized as
guides of national conduct under our
plan of rule, the people must command
their pubic servants. "

OMAHA PROPERTY BURNS.
Great Business Blocks Burned to the
Ground

1FCdt BUSINESS BLOCKS Burned to the
Ground.
Omaha, Neb., Jan 30 A fire which
has destroyed property estimated at
approximately $50, 900 started at 10
O'Clock Saturday night from what is
| believed to have been an overheated
stove in the commission house Of C.
! II. Mullen & Co, located at Eleventh
and Howard streets. The flames spead
so rapidly that Chief Salter of the fire
! department at once turned in a gen.
eral alarm, which brought the entire
! department Of the city to the scene,
not, however, until the flames had got
! ten quite beyond control Five com
mission houses were located in the
building where the flames we're start
ed, and all of these were enveloped in
a very short time.
Across the alley to the north a five
story building occupied by a large
manufacturing and jobbing shoe con-
Germ caught in the upper stories and
the fire soon spread to the lower
floors and the entire stock was de-
stroyed.
The block in which the fire occur
red was in the wholesale district and
contiguous to it were a large number
Of stores.
AS soon as the fremen discovered
the building could not be saved, they
turned their attention to adjoining
buildings. Despite their efforts, how
ever the flames continued to spread.
At 100 the flames had totally de-
stroyed a half block Of five story build
ings containing valuable stocks Of
wholesale and retail commission firms,
and at that hour were burning with in
creased fury. Despite the efforts of
the entire fire department, with half a
hundred streams playing on the flames
they continued to spread.
Next to Snyder's commission house
on the north were four other commits
sion houses and the fire had enveloped
those places before streams could be
started on them.
Estimated Losses.
The losses are estimated approx
mately as follows: NJ e. Smith Dry
Goods company, 100000 on stock; FIVE
commission houses of ]. r. Snyder c.

Of Washington, as trustee Of the mis-
sion of ST. James, the sum of $45, 900

teers, or Indians, at any time anterior
to the date of the filing Of the release.
The United States supreme court has
upheld decree adverse to the claims
of the Catholics for payment of $780,
900 for this tract of land. The COM
mittee, however, quotes tho precedent
of the Missionary society Of the Meth
odist church, which was reimbursed in
the sum of $50. 900 for the land in Ore
gon taken by the United States for
military purposes. This land in near
ly every respect, as regards ownership,
corresponded with the land at Vancou-

Methodists, the committee thinks the
Catholics should be paid $45, 900.

FENCES at home say that the disaffected
are probably using the present war as
preieXt for their periodical demou-
STATIONS which, when known, are re-
garded no more serious than formerly.
The commander in chiefs orders to
abandon the advance are reported to
state two reasons for stopping the adj

ond, the failure of quick attack, np-
ON which the advance depended. The

can not be forecasted. These reports,
which deal largely, with technical in

have taken place on that wing and the

how long it will last.

January l to January 80 are now esti-
mated at between SO 600 and $4,000,

The japanese advance against the

merely a demonstration. The Japan
csc fell back as soon as the Russians
brought up reinforcements. The only
fighting of any consequence occurred
at Chonhai pass at 3 o CLOCK the morn
ing of January 80. Two japanese

sued and the japanese were driven off,

Washington, Oct. 24.-one of the
questions congress is likely to have to
thTesh out is the revival of the army
canteen. Whether the canteen should be
legalized is as burning an issue with the
army and with the active foes of intem-
peranee as it has ever been. The legisla-
ton abolishing The canteen, in view Of
army men, has accentuated the need for
such an institution and this winter there
will be most determined effort to get
the canteen restored.
Notice has been given that Senator
Proctor, chairman of the military affairs
committee OF the Senate, will introduce
bill to repeal the law Of 1901 which
prohibited the canteen. Senator Proctor
| is an advocate of the canteen and be-
lieves the army is better off if the sale

which shows that alcoholism in the army
has increased steadily since the canteen
was abolished
