The requirement of the Gage ninety
acres for the Country club would abso-
lutely guarantee the success of the
organization. It would put in its hands
a tangible real estate tract which to-
day is worth nearly double the stipu-
lated option and which viii increase
in value every years This for many
reasons, the principal one of which is
that the city owns Gage park, already
becoming a popular resort, and which
year by year will become more and
more beautiful. This park would be
like a grand entrance to a country
club west of it. and owning the ninety
acres adjoining the park the Country
club would practically have for its
use beautiful grounds of ITO acres,
100 more than the Dudley lease; the
eighty acres of Gage park being avail
able for every member of the Country
club by reason of it being a public
park. The driveways and paths from
the Country club may be merged into
/ those of the park.

steamer China tomorrow but will re-
main until the sailing of the Oeanic

suggested that they should not be al
lowed to leave before the arrival Of
detectives from San Francisco on the
Alameda, which is due here tomorrow
The inquest will be resumed at 1880
O'Clock this evening, but the testimony
to be given will probably be unimport-
ant. 1t is possible that the verdict will
be delayed to allow further hearings
and it is considered probable that it
will be to the effect that the death of
Mrs. Stanford was the result of strych-
nine poisoning, taken in some manner
to the jury unknown"
High Sheriff Henry continues to hold
out positively against the theory Of
suicide. Miss Berner remains in her
room at the Maone hotel, which she
has left only for attendance at the in

In Calcutta Alone $4,000 Deaths Oc-

inent Making Every Effort to Eradi-
cate the Disease, Burning Whole Sec

Calcutta, India, March S,-The deaths
from the plague last week numbered
"a, 900.
Statistics show that the deaths from
bubonic plague in India within a few
years reach nearly three millions. In
1903 the mortality in India from the
plague alone was S5O,OoO The number
Of deaths recorded last week, while ex-
traordinary, is not unprecedented.
The infection recently spread to Bur-
nah, where it is making rapid strides.
This season of the year always favors
its spread.
The Indian government is making
every effort to eradicate it, burning
whole sections of towns and segregat-
ing. the inhabitants. The deaths are
said to be ninety per cent Of those in
fected. AS a result of the plague the
labor supply for the manufacturing
centers has serious deprecated.
The Lancet recently announced the
probable appointment of a commission
composed of scientific investigators,
who will assist the plague department
of India in the work of eradication.
Since the outbreak at Bombay in 1896
that town has not been free from the
plague, which has ravaged the entire
presidency and is gradually spreading
throughout India. Its victims are
chiefly natives.

Importance Attached to Whereabouts of
Gen. Kawamura's Army.

I q
London, March 1O.--In the opinion Of
English military critics General Kuro-
patkin's forces are doomed to complete
disaster. Careful study of all the ave-
nues of possible escape and the Gispo-
sitions of the victorious Japanese ar
mics leads to the conclusion that the
best he can hope for is to save mere
remnant of his army after sacrificing
whole divisions to slaughter. Much
importance is attached to General
Kawamura's mysterious INDICATED
army, which is momentarily expected
to complete the closing of the net
around the defeated host by appearing
somewhere in the extreme east in the
nelghborhood of Yingfan, thus block
ing the sole remaining route from
yingfan to Tie Pass through Wankia-
kou Pass.
The Daily Telegraph, in an editorial
article well rejecting the general opin-
ion here, says: '.The greatest battle in
the worlds history promises to end in
the worlds greatest military DISASTER
The correspondent at Toxic of the
Daily Telegraph says on official au-
thority that fully 100000 Russians are
renveloped, and he hears that Russia's
central army is almost annihilated.

BATTLING AT FU pass.
Japanese Bon,barding one of the Prin-

I
Mukden, March 9.-Noon.-The Jap
anese this morning bombarded the
bridge at Flu Pass, on the Hun river
twelve miles east Of Mukden. Russian
artillery replied vigorously. The can
nonade lasted an hour.
At present the Japanese are making
most energetic attacks south of the
, Hun river. 1t is runored that they
have transferred thither some of their
forces from the northwest, in anticipa-
tion Of night attack,
st. Petersburg, March 10.--S:05 a. m.
THE most important news received
from Russian sources is The Associat-
ed Press information that the Japan
ese already have reached the Hun
river. Flu pass is only twelve miles east
of Mukden and well westward of Gem
eral Linevitch's line of retreat Wheth-
er the extreme Russian left has already
succeeded in retiring behind the Hun
river and moving down the north bank
of that stream to join hands with Cen
eraI Kuropatkin's main force, is not
stated; but it is extremely probable
that unless the Russians are able to
defend the crossing at Flu pass, General
Rennenkampff's corps and perhaps
additional forces will be cut off and
have to shift for themselves in the
mountainous region north of Fushun
against expeditionary forces of Japan
ese. which are reported from Chinese
sources to be racing toward Tie pass
The censor allows no work to pass; but
it was stated here yesterday that Gen
eral Kuropatkin had been for some
time assembling forces Of reserves at
Tie pass, and Hardin, with this even
tuality in view to defend the pass and
positions until he can made, or fight
his way back. Iii ~
