RUSS SECRETS DISCLOSED
Army Organ Lays Bare Nation s Exact
Military Condition.

st. Petersburg, March 25.-Stung by
the wholesale criticism lately heaped
upon the war office for its unprepared-
ness and incapacity in providing the
Manchurian army with men, guns and
the army organ today lays
bare what has been done since the
opening of hostilities, giving the ex-
aet figures. From this it appears that
up to March IL the war office had dis
patched 13,0S7 officers, 761 ,467 men,
146,4Os horses, 1921 guns and 316,321
tons of munitions and supplies to the
front, declaring the transportation
strained the Siberian railroad to it's
utmost capacity.
The army organ admits that the army

the troops did not exceed 10000 men.
Cause of Port Arthur Plight.
The criticism Of the war office s
failure adequately to supply Port Ar
thur is met by the statement that it
was provisioned for garrison of
twelve battalions, the decision to put
thirty battalions there being. taken 80
late that the original calculations could
not be remedied.
While affirming that the quick-fring
guns and field guns of the Russians are
superior to those Of the Japanese, the
war office explains that the insufficient
CIV Of the mountain guns was due to the
fact that when the war broke out
Russia was just adopting new pattern.
"a Jap Spirit Miscalculated.
It is denied that the war office was
deceived in regard to the available
strength of the Japanese army or the
organization Of the Japanese reserves
but the army organ frankly admits that
the talents of the officers and the won
derful spirit Of the soldiers were mis-
calculated.
The publication of this article has
created a sensation among military men
and in public circles, many Of the for

closing valuable military secrets, anc

New York Sun Special Service.
Cincinnati, March 25.-A run was
started yesterday on the savings depart
ment Of the Union Savings bank and
Trust company, which is said to be the
largest institution of the kind in Ohio.
All day there was stream of small de-
positors withdrawing their money as
fast as the tellers could handle it. OFF,
. GERS of the bank declare it perfectly
solid and that every deposition request
ing his money will secure it; Presi-
dent J. G. Schmidlapp said the stories
that caused the run were started by
malicious persons.
Just after closing time the officials
obtained information that postal cards
and kilograms had been sent out Of the
city to depositors who were absent, adj
vising them to withdraw their funds.
These cards will be traced, if possible.
The officials believe that the stories
about the bank are the result of con-
spiracy. They will attempt to prove
this.

WlTTE TO BRING PEACE.
N. Nuravief Resigns as Pence Pleni-
 pOtentiary.

N. Murayieff Resigns as Pence Pleni-
 potentiary.
 ST. PETERSBURG, July 13.-M Muravieff has resigned his position as chief peace plenipotentiary.
 It may be regarded as practically certain that he will be replaced by NJ. Witte. president of the committee of ministers. who all along Las been con. sidered the Russian statesman pre- eminently qualified to undertake the difficult task of negotiating peace with Japan.
 To that extent only the matter may be regarded as unsettled. nothing be- ing certain in Russia. as a prominent diplomat remarked, until the emperor's s signature has been affixed. NJ. Witte's selection will undoubtedly be hailed as a practical assurance of peace. While it would be a mistake to de- nominate him as a eace-at-any price man, NJ. Witte earnestly believes that the struggle should be ended and should be succeeded by an understand ing between Russia and Japan which would insure peace in the east for half a century. Indeed, he is personally be lieved to be in favor of a Russo-Japa- nese alliance.

"The bottom finally dropped out of the scheme and the company went into the hands of a receiver An assess ment of 40 per cent was levied on the stock about two years ago to pay off the mortgage that had been given to the Equita bic"
 What became of that money? The mortgage wasn't paid off,"
 Well" replied Mir. Box. most of us refused to stand for the assessment. Several stockholders paid, however. I know that for they told me so. At the time the loan was made it was, in my opinion, good one. The property on which the mortgage was given was fully worth the amount of the mort gage. I believe it was worth double that sum. -.....
 "Mr Depew from his first connec- tion with the company was sincerely desirous, I believe, of making it sue cess. He borrowed money and pledge, his individual security. He was the only man I could ever find willing U talk about it. The largeness of the deal and the men interested in it, it was thought, would carry it through"
 In referring to the interest of the New York Central Railroad company in the village of Depew. Mir Box said:
 ''The improvement company turned over to the Central for locomotive works 100 acres at less than cost. Webb insisted on that. The effort to bring the Merchants Dispatch car shops to Depew failed. The New York Central. which controls the stock of the company, had committed itself to Rochester. and that handicapped the improvement company.
 Aside from the Central locomotive works, the Gould concerns are the only big industries in Depew village. There are the Gould Coupling company, the Gould Storage Battery company, the Gould Axle Forge company and the Gould Steel plant. Other concerns there are the Railway Steel Spring company and the Magnus Metal com pany. The American Car and Foundry company closed three years ago"
 President Michael J. Garry, of the village. said:
 There is no reason why the Depew Improvement company should be in such a bad way, but understand that the directors got into a mixup among themselves. Considering things, con ditions here are prosperous. We have about 3,700 residents and about so dwelling houses. We need more of them. for people can't get house now unless they buy one"
 Depew has all the characteristics of e boom town. The houses are scat tered. street are laid out and paved and there are a lot of shops There are vaterworks and electric power, and a street car line which runs to Buffalo. In the boom days several wealthy residents of Buffalo built homes in Depev. In reports filed with the county clerk the improve nent company stated that its assets amounted 10 at least s100o1O and that its debts did not exceed s3p0.0cO. er- elusive of liability on its capital stock
