st. Petersburg, March 21.-The latest
dispatches from Manchuria indicate
that the retreat of the Russian army
is being conducted uneventufully. The
last few days were unmarked by any
fighting of a serious nature. Both the
Russians and the Japanese, at this
stage, are probably considering that
marching is more important than
fighting. The Russians, however, are
neglecting no precautions to impede
pursuit and hamper the construction of
permanent japanese lines of supply.
The Russian rear guard is retreat

There is increasing difficulty in Sc

BELASCU VS. IhE lRUSl
HALF DOZEN MEN CONTROL ALL
 PLAYHOUSES.
Famous Case of Play Wright and Man- ager Against klaw and Erlanger
 On Trial in New York City.

New York, April 10.-The charge that half a dozen men in this city and Phil adelphia control every first class thea tre in the United States, dictate to managers as to where their stars shall appear or whether they shall appear at all, and arbitrarily demand and nearly always receive a large percen- tage of the profits from every play produced in those theatres, has been made by witnesses during the progress of the trial of the suit or David Belas- co, the playwright, against Klaw and Erlanger, theatrical agents, still in progress.
 MT. Belasco's purpose in the suit is to re-establish his contention that Klaw and Erlanger entered into a secret partnership with him in regard to the starring of David Warfield in "The Auctioneer." MT. Belasco testi- fled that in carrying out what Abra- ham Erlanger termed "a good joke" on his assistants in the alleged theatrical combination, Klaw and Erlanger had Joseph Brooks sign a co-partnership agreement after eXacting from Belas- co a secret agreement to pay to them one half of the profits of The Auc- tioneer." The secret agreement was made in consideration of Klaw and Err langer consenting to book" the play at first class theatres. David Belasco also told of similar experiences which he claimed to have had with Charles Frohman.
 He paid Froharn, he said, more than $1OO.OOO from the profits or 'Zaza" in which Mrs. Leslie Carter appeared un- der MT. Belasco's management. Belas- co said in the course of his examina- tion that these cases were only two of many-that every manager had the same experience as himself and was obliged to make similar agreements with the booking agents.
 The names of the members of the combination which Is alleged to con- trol the theatres of the United States as given by Samuel E. Nixon of Nixon and Zimmermn, theatrical agents, when he was on the stand today are Al. Hay man. Charles Frohman, Klaw and Err langer of this city and Nixon and Zim- merman of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Pittsburg.

Missionary Donation.
 Boston, April 10.-The committed representing the congregation cler- gymen who have protested against the acceptance by the American Board of Foreign Missions, of a gift of $100, 900 from John D. Rockefeller, made pub lie tonight mass of correspondence received from all sections of the coun- try and in which the stand of the prot estants Is approved.
 In comparatively few instances are the names of the writers made public, but those announced include Prof Lewis O. Brastow, Yale Divinity School; Prof Hugh N. Scott Chicago Theological Seminary; Rev. H. E. Thayler. Home Missionary Superintend- ent for Kansas; Rev. c. B. Patton, Ann Arbor, Mich; Rev. George I. Cady, Du- buque, Ia; Rev. J. c. Armstrong, Su- perintendent of the Chicago Mission ary Society and Rev. Henry M. Went worth, Terra Haute Ind
 In tone the letters range from mild ly argumentative opinions to bitter expressions of disapproval of the re- commendation of the prudential com mittee. Professor Scott says he be- lieves the Lord does not yet want rob bery for burnt offerings" or the price of dog" to enter His treasury. Su- perintendent Armstrong says the money is unclean and the church knows it. and adds; We do know that for shameless disregard for the rights of our fellow men the Standard Oil Com pany stands out as the most con- scienceless, brazen aand dangerous cor poration of this country or any other country has ever produced"

MajOrMcLaushlin Made Indians Sign
 Thumb Marks.

Minneapolis. April 10.-Major Mc- Laughlin, inspector of Indian Agencies, is on his way to Washington with the signatures of 3,514 Sioux Indiahs done in thumb marks.
 Mclaughlin passed through Minne- apolis with the document and is conti- dent that it will make a sensation at the department of state. The sigma lures. however, were not accumulated for spectacular effect but stand as a memorial to the government from the Standing Rock Agency, asking for the division of 3,5O0,000 acres of land.
 The land was granted to them in 1889 but has not been divided. In the past the noble red man has been con sidered above guile but 1t has been discovered that when it comes to a land deal Uncle Sam is likely to suf- fer unless precaution is taken. As all Indians look more or less alike the unique method of taking their sigma lures was decided upon.

SUGGESTIONS TO TAFT.
Ministers of West Coast Want Open
 Door.

Washington, April 10.-The follow ing suggestions to Secretary Taft are contained in the memorandum of the ministers representing the West Coast.
 South and Central America Republics, relative to transportation across the Isthmus of Panama.
 The propriety of reducing the rail- road tariff rates; also the reduction of freight and passenger rates between Colon and New York; that ships of all nations and cargoes of all origin have the same facilities; that the work of building the canal be not allowed to entirely absorb the railroad, but that
 the railroad be utilized as heretofore. for the transportation of freight across the Isthmus.
 The memorandum states that the Isthmus has suffered two great obsta- cles to the exchangs of products be- tween the eastern coast of the United States and the Latin American coun- tries. One of these Is the land barrier which the United States is about to remove the other has been the monop- oly ofN the railroad line which can be remedied as the United States is now the owner of the road.
 It states that the present railroad rates are prohibitory and makes the following citations: Nitrate from Chilli to New York pays AZ shillings per ton by Panamd ana ~ py hdSelldH olrdltS' Peruvian sugar pays 30 shillings by
 Panama and 23 by Magellan; Cocoa of lGuayaquil pays from 50 to 5S shillings to Europe and 65 to 6S to New York; coffee is sent cheaper by way of Magel- Ian: tin from Bolivia cannot be sent across the Isthmus.
 It Is further pointed out that from the most distant ports to New York by
 way of Panama is but 4,50O miles and by way of Magellan 11,000 miles. It is | stated that goods can be brought from Europe 25 to 30 cents cheaper than from the United States. It is also
 claimed that the rates on passengers are exorbitant.
 The memorandum further makes a
 declaration for the open door across Panama.

WILL OBSERVE MOVEMENTS.
Raleigh VIII See That Fleets Preserve
 Neutrality Laws,

Washington, April l0.-Admiral Train. commander-in-chi of the Asi- atic station. has cabled the Navy De- partment that he has dispatched the cruiser Raleigh. which has been al La buan, and several torpedo boats to the Island of Palawan to observe the movements of the hostile fleets which must pass through those waters.
 This direction was not given as the result of any special orders from the department, but under the broad in structions sent some months ago to the commander of the Asiatic station to take proper steps to guard against any violation of neutrality by either bellig- crcnt in the Philippines.
 There is no dock in the Philippines to hold any of the great Russian bat tleships so that fortunately 1t will not be necessary for the State Department to decide whether or not the Russian vessels can dock in our ports to clean their bottoms. The naval records show that there Is a dry dock at Saigon 49S 2-3 feet in legnth which would accommodate the Russian ships, so that the French Government is liable to be confronted with this ques- ton.
