Victoria, B. c., March 30. Mail
advices were received here from Pekin
by the Empress of Japan today that
high officials of China recognize that
China will have to pass through a
grave crisis threatening the very foun-
dations of her independence and in
tegrity at the close of the war, and
that to avert anarchy and chaos the
empire must be we'll armed and ready.
The Manchu civil and military author
tiles are accordingly rearming the
various banner organizations, Manchu,
Mongol and Chinese. To the end of
February, % battalions over and above
the 1000 Manchus equipped with good
arms in 1902, had been provided with
either Mannilcher or Mauser magazine
rifles. Factories are working to pro-
vide 30, 900 more for the Chinese fJrces
at Pekin.. 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, we'll armed, for the defense of
Pekin before June.

FIVE men LOST Their LIVES
Drowned in the Missouri River While
Building a Dyke.

ST. Joseph, Mo, March 28.-Five
men lost their lives in the Missouri
river here yesterday. The dead:
Billy Lewis.
Oscar Lewis.
Harry Talent.
Harry Smith.
Howard Hutchinson.
The men were engaged in dyke build
ing operations on the Kansas side, OPP
posi'e the water pumping station.
They had been brought TO- the Missouri
side each evening by small steamer,
but on account of heavy wind and
rainstorm this evening the steamer was
delayed and the men, rather than spend
the stormy night in a shack on the
Kansas bank, determined to cross in a
skiff. About midstream the overload
ed skiff was swamped by the nigh
waves and four of the men sunk in the
muddy water and were seen no more.
Hutchinson was seen swimming, but
sank before help could reach him.
None of the bodies has been discovered.

COST TO RUSSIANS
THEY HAVE LOST 100000 men
In The FAR EAST WAR.
War Office Criticisms Backed Up by
Exact Figures up to March 12-
Thought Lightly of Japanese SOL
diers-Exposing Secrets Causes Sen.
sation in st. Petersburg.

Stung by the wholesale criticism
lately heaped upon the war Office for
it's unpreparedness and incapacity in
providing the Manchurian army with
men, guns and munitions, the govern.
ment lays bare what has been done
since the opening of the war, giving
the exact figures.
From these it appears that up to
March u the war office has dispatched
1908 officers, 761 ,467 men, 146,30S
horses. 1921 guns and 3,163,321 tons
of munitions and supplies to the
front. Declaring that the transporta-
ton strained the Siberian railroad to
it's utmost capacity, the army organ
admits that the army in the far east
when the war was begun was hardly
worth the name (no figures being
given) but it is known that the troops
did not exceed $4,000 men, practically
defenseless because the emperor de-
sired to avoid war, and, therefore, re.
Trained from sending reinforcements,
which surely would have provoked it.
Taken by Surprise.
The criticism that the war office
failure to adequately supply Port Ar
thur is met by the statement that 1t
was provisioned for a garrison OF II
battalions, the decision to put 30 bat
talions there being taken SO late that
the original calculations could not be
NXyI, hot q
quick firing guns and field guns of the
Russians are superior to those of the
japanese, the war Office explains that
the misfortune in the insufticiency OF
the mountain guns was due to the fact
that when the war broke out Russia
was just adopting a new pattern. II
is denied that the war Office was de-
ceived in regard to the available
strength of the Japanese army or the
organization of the Japanese reserves.
but the organ frankly admits that the
talents of the officers and the wonder
full spirit of the soldiers were miscal-
culated.
Nearly 100000 Men Sacrificed.
The publication of this article has
created a sensation. Many of the mil
itary men are censuring the general
staff for disclosing secrets, and 1nd
a practical admission that the war has
cost almost 100000 men in killed,
wounded, prisoners and sick, as the
whole effective army in the far east is
now believed not to exceed 10000 men.
The preliminary press censorship on
books in Russian, as we'll as foreign
languages has been removed. Inc
books now printed go to the censor
by whom their sale must be authorized
within seven days. or, if it is alleged
that they violate the criminal law, the
question of confscation must immedl-
ately be submitted to and decided by
the courts. Heretofore manuscripts
were sent to the censor, and some
times were held for months and years.
He had the arbitrary right to prohibit
their publication wl,nout any con-
frmation of his decision by the courts.

The Lost Bride.

.'The Lost Bride" a spectacular play of considerable proportions, which was presented at the opera house Friday night, March 3rd, under the arrangement of Mir. s Clay Stearns, for the benefit of the Ladies Aid Socie. ty of the Methodist church, was most credi,able affair, and was highly ap- preciated by failly good-sized audi. ence. Taking into consideration there were only four days in which to pre- pare, the success of this entertainment wss surprising, and beyond the expec. tations of the most exacting critic.
 The first scene, which represented the wedding festivities, vas truly a "vision of fair women" Each young lady was gowned in spotless white of soft filmy material, and as they sway ed in tue figures of the drill, there was a perfect harmony of grace and beauty.
 Miss Mary Mallory, the lovely bride, did and looked her best. Her part was we'll acted and she certainly deserved the many compliments that were heard on all sides.
 In the parts of grandmother and housezeeper one could hardly recognize Miss Mary Alley ard Miss Johnnie Horney, so well did they assume the rose and carriage of extreme age, both of which are so foreign to them in real life.
 Miss Laura Lee Head, as mother, was stately and dignfiea. Miss Laura Lee is one of Forrest City's most at- tractive young ladies, and her acting was fine.
 Miss Ruth Hatcher, as sister, won for herself fresh laurels. Miss Hatch. CT has appeared on the stage before, but never to better advantage. | Miss Marguerite Lat. .hinghouse, as maid, was very sweet and 'sFrenchy,n but her flirtatlons with the butler oc- cupied so much of her time that her duties suffered sadly.
 The drills by the little girls were very pretty, and special enjoyment was manifested in the "wee tots," who were "ju as cute as could be-" The econ drill by fifty boys was the llyening feature of the evening. These boys were indeed black beyond re- coRnit'on. as scarcely mother in the house knew her own child. Their Knowing glances when the chicken was produced proved conclusively that some one had been "chicken stealing for you."
 Mir. F. c. Nicely and Mir. David Da- Wis each rendered fetching vocal solo, tue former in his rich, deep and mel. low bass, and MT. Davis in his full, sweet and round tenor. Mrs. B. D. Hatcher presided at the piano. The music was faultlessly rendered, and highly appreciated.
 The ladies of the society desire to extend thanks to Messrs. Becker &, Lewis for the opera house, to MT. Will Hams for lights, and to each and every one who contributed in any way to the entertainment. The sale of tickets amounted to SIP %. of which, after ex- Iehses had been paid the society re celved one hail.
