considerably alarmed by the new dan

from systematic attempts by Chinese
bandits to cut the line of comlnunlca- a
ton back of the army. According TO
reports about 10000 men split up into
hands of several hundred each, are
operating from Mongolia and are
striking at the railroad. A RUSSIAN
detachment, followed up by a Japanese
band, which cut the road below Har-
bin, fell into an ambuscade OF two
regularly organized Japanese regiments
and was almost cut to pieces, losing
half it's men and one gun. The fear
is that if the bands move further north
or west they might interrupt commun-
ication to such an extent as to make it
impossible to supply the army.

HocH SIGNS THE BILL.
Authorizes Measure Providing State
Refinery.

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 1S.-Kansas' de-
sire for an oil refinery of it's own was
realized when Governor Hoch signed
the bill appropriating 100000 for the

plant, which was passed for the avoW-
ed purpose of fighting the Standard
Oil Company.
In returning the law to the legis-
lature affixing his signature thereto,
Governor Hoch sent with it a lengthy
message, in which he touched on the
general question of trusts.
mo greater question: said he, "con-
fronts the American people than the
control of these great aggregations of
capital. We are all cropping in the
dark, but we will get out into the light
after while. This Kansas contribu-
ton to the solving of this great prob
lem may or may not be wise one,
but it is at least an honest and cour-
ageous one"
The governor said that the present
legislation was not an attempt to drive
the Standard Oil Company from the
state, nor to deprive it of it's rights
'.it is not an attempt to establish a
monopoly, but an attempt to compel a
monopoly already existing to be de-
cent" He said that when the normal
conditions We're again restored the
state would withdraw from the busi-
neess of refining oil and leave it in
the hands of private competitors,
"where it legitimately belongs
Governor Hoch urged the legislature
to go further and adopt further re-
strictve legislation to prevent the man.

slider the Situation.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 1S.-An extraor-
dinary sitting of the council of the
empire has been summoned to consid-
er the situation resulting from the
assassination of Sergius. Prince
Friedrich Leopold, of Prussia. who has
been visiting the emperor, started for
Berlin at midnight.
The official explanation of Prince
Ffiederich Leopold's return to Berlin
is that he decided to go to Manchuria

peror William. In diplomatic circles
there exists a suspicion that amounts
almost to conviction that Emperor
William has undertaken peace nego-
tiations in some form. Solemn state
requiem mass for the repose of the
soul of Grand Duke Sergius was cell
ebrated at ST. Isaacs here this after
noon at which representatives of the
foreign powers, ministers and other
dignitares were present, but not a
single member of the imperial family
attended
The great square in which the i'm
posing cathedral is situated presented
a remarkable spectacle. The sur
held back by a solid wall of police.
Inside the square a row of gorgeous
carriages and sleighs faced the portal.
At intervals were posted mounted
sentries and in each corner of the
square was q squadron of Cossacks.
