was the matter, the secretary being
simply overcome by excitement and
fatigue
The news of Hays serious illness
has been kept from the public up to
today. When Clarence Hay saw a
group of newspaper men on the pier
he was heard to remark to his father:
We'll. it can't be helped. They know
now" This is not the first time that
Hay has collapsed. Since a severe at
tack of grip last winter he has been
very weak.
Mrs. Hay admitted that her husband
is a very sick man. She said: mo

ill Mr.. Hay has been for some time. -

Young Woman of WaIIa Walla Souqh,
After by Relatives.

Because his sister-inlaw forsook
comfortable home and kind relatives
for a life of shame, G. S. Mckenzie, of
the Walla Walla wheat belt, has asked
the Portland police force to locate Miss
Dolly Brown, So that he may offer in
ducements to her to return to ner inno

the aid of Mr.. Mckenzie, the police
learned that the Brown woman was
making the Queen Annie saloon, a no
torious resort of the North End, her
headquarters. She had her mail ad-
dressed to that place, but the police
learned that the woman had left there.
Search still continues, but it is be-
lieved she has left the city. 1t was
reported that she was at Oakland, Cal,
and steps are now being taken by the
police to find if the report is true. If
she can be found, it is likely that Mr..

he can get the woman to return to her

L|NEvITCH
IS IN A TRAP
japanese Have Executed An
other Turning Movement
HARASS RUSSIANS ON ALL SIDES
A Fierce Engagement Is Said to Be in
Progress Forty Miles North of
Telling.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 1S.-The
authorities say that no information
mas reached them that the Japanese
have cut the railroad in Linevitch's
rear. They admit that communication
with the army has been cut off for the
past "a hours. A dispatch dated
Chang Tu Flu, 40 miles north of Tie
Pass, at o'clock Thursday afternoon,
states that the army is retreating in
good order, destroying the railroad as
it proceeds, but is constantly pressed
by the Japanese, the rear guard action
being continuous. The dispatch con-
cludes:
1--WE believe the Japanese are max
ing a wide turning movement north
and will be ready to fall upon us when
we get out of the mountains surround
ing Tie Pass gorge"
Linevitch must make retreat along
a single road, a railroad and wagon
road. If the Japanese succeed in
throwing a strong force across his line
of retreat, it is recognized here that
his army may be forced to surrender.
The mobilization of a new army has
already begun in the central provinces.
The division of imperial guards at St.
Petersburg received orders to move
today.
There is a rumor here that a fierce
battle between Linevitch's rear guard
and the Japanese f1anking armies is
proceeding 20 miles north of Tie Pass.
No official news has been received on
the subject.
