Steamship NJ. S. Dollar From San
Francisco Seized.
TOXIC, Jan. 2S.-The American steam
ship M. S., Dollar, en- route to vladi-
vostok with a cargo of provisions and
forage, was seized yesterday by the
Japanese in the Pacific Ocean east of
Hakkaido Island.
VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 2S.-The steam
ship Nd. S. Dollar. formerly the Arab,
seized by the Japanese, Is owned here
At the office of the owning company it
Is said she was fully insured. She took
$500 tons of hay, oats and barley from
San Francisco for Vladivostok
A dispatch from London dated Janu-
ary rs stated that a steamship with a
black funnel encircled by two red bands
was ashore at Vladivostok and that 1t
was supposed to be the M. s. Dollar,
sailing from San Francisco on Decem-
ber 81. It was deemed possible that she
had been run ashore purposely to avoid
capture by Japanese warships.
The M. S. Dollar was formerly the
British steamship Arab, built in 1890 at
Newcastle. England. She was subse-
quently sold to the Dollar Steamship
Company of San Francisco.
The London dispatch further stated
that the M. S. Dollar had been posted
on the overdue board in that city at a
rate Of 80 guineas. In San Francisco
the vessel has been posted as an over
due, with a rate of 80 per cent quoted
for reinsurance.

Within Six Weeks or
Two Months.
Extensive Plans of the Promoters Of
the Quarter Billion Dollar
"lalk Trust"

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-While the off,
GERS of the New York and New Jersey
Telephone Company refused to-day to
admit that there was to be a huge
merger of forty-three of the biggest
telephone companies in the country in
to a $3.50, ,0O0, 600 corporation, it was ac-
knowledged that a business arrange
ment was being made with all of the
companies reported to be in the COM
bine, by which it would be possible for
telephone subscribers in this city to
talk with San Francisco or any far dis
tant point either in this country or
Canada.
Notwithstanding denials, 1t is report
ed that the arrangement is more than
mere worki~- agreement and that
while the combination may not nom
inally be made it will exist in fact.
All of the forty-three constituent
companies. however, will retain their
independent titles and seemingly oper-
ate as independent companies under
separate officers.
The controlling American (BelD Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company has, it
is understood, obtained practically a
controlling interest in each of the forty
tion to dominate not only the telephone
business of the United States. but prac-
tically the telephone business of
Canada.
Connections are now building which.
1t is expected, will make it possible
within six weeks or two months for
subscribers in this city and San Fran
cisco to converse with one another.
An officer of the New York Telephone
Company, at it's offices, Is Dey street,
said to-day that 1t was necessary to
construct switchboards In the main
offices In each of the companies on the
main line between here and San Fran
cisco to make the necessary connec-
tions.
What it will cost to have a five min
ute talk with a person in San Fran
cisco, none Of the officers of the local
company would venture to estimate.
The lines of about twenty different
companies will have to be used and
each will get a share of the charge.

ers.
The battle commenced on the right
flank, on General Kuropatkin'S initia-
tive. The Japanese were driven back
five miles from their advanced posi-
tlcns, defended by the reserve bril-
gades.
The fighting extended on January 26
to the center. The japanese en-
deavored to take Poutiloff Hill and
other positions, but were driven back
with heavy losses.
The men going into battle are we'll

and in good spirits.
The activity of General Mistchenko's
fast riding cavalary continues. A
large Japanese transport train was
captured on the extreme right of the
west flank.
MJJKDEN, Jan. 2S, night-The most
important cannonade since the first
battle on the Shakhe River was main
tanned all yesterday in continuous
snowstorm against the Japanese left,
which Field Marshal Oyama has been
reinforcing with troops from Port Ar
thur since General Mistchenkos raid.
The attack was centered about seven
miles west of Shakhe station, and re-
suited in the Japanese withdrawing
from Holantai and Funchuangchiatzu,
which the Russians have occupied. The
cannonading and snowstorm continued
undiminished to-day. 1t is considerably
colder.
The cannonading indicates that an
extended contest is progressing The
driving wind and snow favor the Rus
SLAMS, thus offsetting the advantage the
Japanese had last October. when the
sur, shone in the Russians eyes.
To-day's reports indicate that the
Japanese are continuing to fall back,
while the Russian cavalry has ad-
vanced its lines ten miles.
The Japanese yesterday flew a large
kite into the Russian lines. The kite
was covered with photographs show
ing the kindly treatment of Russian
prisoners in japan.

NOT IN ACCORD WITH HAY.
Minister Hayashi Believes Neutrality
Conference Would Be Futile.

Minister Hayashi Believes Neutrality
Conference Would Be Futile.
LONDON, Jan. 2S.-Baron Hayashi,
the japanese Minister to Great Britain,
talked freely to-day on the subject of
Secretary of State Hays proposal for
conference by the powers on the in
tegrity of China. Minister Hayashi does
not regard the proposition as being
likely to result in satisfactory adjust
ment of the question, and is of the
opinion that it would not bring about
any improvement of the existing situa-
ton.
Mr.. Hays proposal is decidedly in
teresting," said the Baron. 1T is only
another evidence of the sincere desire
of the American State Department to
reach some acceptable solution of the
vexed question of the preservation of
the territorial integrity of China. For
my part, however, l am unable to see
how it could be effectual under the cir
cumstances. If a conference should de-
eide that all countries sign a treaty
guaranteeing territorial integrity to
China, it is a question If we would be
any better off.
Treaties have been broken before
without the signatories enforcing them
by resort to arms. What is the use
of making an agreement with a coun-
try which has no regard for treaty
promises? China is not like country
that could maintain it's own neutrality
and territorial integrity with the
moral support of the powers. If so a
treaty would be good thing. But in
the present case, in the event of
breach of the treaty, it is not likely
that America would rush into war to
enforce it's observaro and, therefore,
a treaty is valueless.
Japan is now fighting to prevent the
violation of Chinese territorial integ
rity and proposes to continue to pre-
vent its violation by force of arms if
necessary"

PRUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
TAKES HAND IN STRIKE
Six Commissioners Are Appointed to
Investigate the Troubles OF
the Miners.

DORTMUND, Prussia, Jan. 2S.-The
Commissioners of the Ministry of the
Interior at a conference with the rep
resentatives of the striking coal min
ers to-day informed them that the
Prussian Government had appointed
six Commissioners to investigate the
strike. The Government, it was added,
had acted after consultation with the
mine owners. and the latter had signi-
fed their approval. The commission
will begin its work OF inquiry Monday.
The expectation is that settlement of
the controversy will result.
ESSEN, Jan. 2S.-Since the confer
ence between a committee OF seven
persons with the Government commits
sion the coal mine strikers have taken
a pessimistic view of the situation and
have abandoned hope for an early set
tlement of the strike. Commissioner
Won veIsen has returned to Berlin.
The mine owners declare that the pro-
posed revision of the mining laws In
the interest Of the operatives will have
a damaging effect on the German man

danger of foreign competition, and will
encourage operatives to come forward
later with greater demands

Immediately assumed the aggressive

The enemy on the right of the Hun
River began activity on January 25.
More than one corps advanced from
the district south of Chengtsu toward
Heikoutai and Chenchiehpao. Our
army assumed the offensive on Jan

Moscow Strikers Take to Liquor and

MOSCOW, Jan. 28.-The situation
here tonight is slightly more threat
ening. The men in the Industrial Sec
ton are indulging in Saturday night
sprees and have become turbulent.
The disposition of the troops makes
serious trouble tomorrow unlikely,
but if the men continue drinking there
undoubtedly will be disorders. The
authorities, however, still hope to
avoid bloodshed.
