DISMISS IDEA OF PEACE.
Japanese Prepared to Prosecute the
War Vigorously.

Toxic, March 2O.-The Japanese
press considers that Manchuria is now
virtually in a state of Japanese occu-
patton, but the papers dismiss the
thoughts of speedy peace in view of
the Russian reluctance to admit de-
ieat- Under the circumstances, there
fore, 1t Is held that it will be essen
tlal TO prosecute the war vigorously.
The premier, speaking at a dinner
OF the Rankers' club, asked his hear
ers to conceive themselves in the posi-
tion OF Russia, who, although enor-
mously superior in resources, popula-
tion and military renown, is now con-
fronted with the painful question of
suing for peace with a nation hitherto
regarded with contempt. 1t would be
unwise, he said, to anticipate such a
concession. The japanese, he added,
must be prepared 10 continue the war
to the bitter end.

EGRAPHlC COMMUNICATION
WITH RETREATiNG RUSSIAN
ARMY INTERRUPTED.
OFFICIALS PREY OF DIRE FeREDODIAGS
REAR GUARD ACTION CCNTtNU-
Gus ACCORDING TO LAST
PRESS DISPATCH.

St Petersburg, March 20-Tele-
graphic communication with the re-
treating Russian army has been cut
tor over twenty-four hours, but the
authorities hope it is only temporary
declaring that they have no informa-
ton that the Japanese have reached
the railroad in General Lineyitch's
rear. Nevertheless with the curtain
down the war Office naturally is the
prey of the direst forebodings.
The last word from the front was
contained in a telegram from one OF
the Associated Press Russian CORE
BpCndents, the only correspondent with
the retiring army. Ii presaged an at
tack from the rear. The telegram. al
though dated Changtufu, forty miles
north OF Tie pass, was sent from hal-
yuan, thirty miles north OF Tie pass.
1t was very brief, saying simply that
the army was retiring in good order
and destroying the railroad as it went,
but was constantly pressed by the
japanese, the rear guard action being
continuous. There were omlnouS
words III the concluding sentence as
follows
I'VE believe the Japanese are max
Ing a wide turning movement north
and that they are ready to fall upon us
when we get out of the ring-like group
OF mountains which surround the lie
pass gorge"
Retiring Under Difficulties.
In the long retreat to Harbin the
Russians only have the advantage OF
the mandarin road as far as kaiyuan,
whence it bears eastward to kirln,
while the railroad continues north TO
Harbin.
According to the general staff, how
ever, a good wagon road runs parallel
to the railroad. But for an army OF
quarter of million men, encumbered
with impediments, with an active en-
emy relentlessly pursuing and operat-
Ing on it's fianks and the constant
threat of the enemy closing the line OF
retreat, it Is admitted that the single
railroad and wagon road afford poor
prospects of General Lineyitch being
able to bring off the remnants OF the
army confided to his care without
tremendous sacrifice of life. Ii the
japanese succeed in throwing strong
force across the line OF retreat 1t Is
recognized that the army might be
forced to capitulate.
In the meantime the mobilization OF
new army has already begun in sew
eral provinces, although the order has
not yet been published.
The newspapers generally endorse
General Linevitch's appointment as
temporary commander-in-chief on the
ground that Kuropatl1ins lack of sue
cess made his supercession imperative

John Jacob AstOr Makes IA Prophecy
of Its Future UtiIity.

The business automobile has but
reached the horizon of its huge field
From delivering tons of coal in cities
to the rural delivery of mails in scat
tered villages and for all kinds of inter-
mediate work its utility is extending.
The working horses elimination from
large cities will be welcomed by every
lover of animals. Horses falling on icy
pavements or suffering acutely during
summer will soon, we all hope be for
ever past, while the problem of street
maintenance and cleaning will be prac
tically solved. This is John Jacob
Aslors view of the future of the auto
mobile in an article on the subject
in a recent number of Golfers weekly.
The farmer whose horses have plowed
all day, and who, with his family needs
recreation when the work is done, will
invoke his automobile, that as sta
tionary engine may have been cutting
feed, saving wood, or what not, switch
the motive power to the driving wheels
and with a joyful "All aboard be off
to the nearest town, though it may be
miles away.
The touring car will become a great
factor in education and recreation.
Large machines with sleeping accomo-
dations will be used for any journey
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, or
for an agreeable jaunt when the leaves
begin to fall from Hudson bay to Pan
anna, or may be to Patagonia while the
small runabaut will become house
hold necessity.
The racing car will continue to 60 at
increasing speed upon the earth, until
presently outgrowing its limitations
it scars off into space. Whether it
must always remain in the atmosphere
or may some day rise superior to grav
itation time a,oIe can tell.

The New German Tariff Law.

Under the new German tariff law SO
often referred to as detrimental to
American commerce the United States
will stand at disadvantage in COM
peting with Germany's trade in GER
tain products now exported in large
quantities. On the 1st day of March,
1906, the German tariff law of 1902
will go into effect with this country,
ending the present arrangement, which
dates from 1928. On the same day
special tariff conventions negotiated
by Germany with Italy, Belgium
Roumania, Switzerland, Servia, Austria
Hungary and Russia will also become
operative. By these conventions con-
cessions are granted which the United
States exporters will not enjoy.
Under the new arrangement cereals,
meats and some other food products
are to be admitted from the seven
special treaty countries named, at
rates much lower than these products
will have to pay If imported from the
United States, in some cases less than
half. Next year the duty on Ameri-
can wheat imported by Germany will
be $1.7S per 100 Kilograms (220.4
pounds), as against SO cents in 1904.
At the same time wheat from Russia
and Austria Hungary will pay only
$1.30 per 100 Kilograms. Corn next
year will pay $1.19 per 100 Kilograms,
as against 80 cents in 1904, while corn
from the special treaty countries may
enter at II cents. American apples,
heretofore admitted free, will pay
double rates under the new law and
dried fruit more than double the rates
of the favored countries. German eX-
ports to the United States are now
more than doubled by our exports to
Germany. 1t is stated that Germany
would make concessions to the United
States in return for similar concessions
TO German importatlons.

OIL TANK BURNS.
Little Change in the Strike Situation
 at Baku.

Baku, January SA big fire, presum- ably of incendiary origin. today destroy ed sixteen tanks of the Nobel company and several adjoining properties. There has been no actual fighting since Janu- ary 5, when a collision occurred between strikers and Cossacks and six worlSmen were killed and two Cossacks and thirty workmen were injured.
 The strike has been in progress since December 26. The original dispute was over hours and wages. The first few days of the strike there was no trouble, but on December 22 crowds threatened the guards stationed about the refining works, and Cossacks were called out. Many persons were injured in desultory fighting between strikers and soldiers at various points.
 The managers have expressed a willing ness to meet the strikers part way. The hour question has been conceded to the workmen, who are granted a nine and a half-hour day with an eight-hour day preceding holidays. The train service which was interrupted was resumed on January 2. The wage question still remains unset tied, the men demanding S10 to s11.50 a month. A big meeting at which it was decided to continue the strike lead up to the fighting on January 3. Trouble Is brewing and the telephone service Is again interrupted
