Vessel From Portland, Ore, Is
Driven Ashore by Storm at
Queenstown
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, March ia storm of
hurricane force burst over the Irish and
English coasts during the night and
1t is feared that many disasters have
occurred. The telegraph lines are
broken at many points.
The British ship Khyber has been
totally wrecked off the Cornish coast.
Twenty-three of her crew were
drowned, and three We're saved. The
Khyber sailed from Melbourne, Aus
tralia, October 26 for Queenstown.
The storm swept over the north of
Ireland early this morning and did
great damage to property. Fears are
entertained for the safety of the fishing
fleets.
High winds have caused terrible
havoc along the coasts of the United
Kingdom. Telegraphic communication
between London and many points is
cut off. The lifeboat stations are busy
and shipping everywhere is seeking
shelter.
Numbers of minor wrecks accom-
panied by loss of life have been re-
ported. Terrific seas are running.
The departure of Queen Alexandra,
Princess Victoria and other members
Of the royal family from Portsmouth
to Lisbon to return the visit of the
king and queen of Portugal, which was
to have occurred yesterday has been
postponed until tomorrow.
Accounts of the gale show that the
wind had the tremendous velocity of
from 70 to 100 miles an hour and that
much property inland as well as at sea
was destroyed throughout the three
kingdoms.
Survivors of the Khyber relate ter
rible tale of the awful night they ex-
perienced. Many old vessels were
driven ashore, including the British
cruiser Kent in the Firth of Forth, but
no further loss of life has yet been
reported.
In almost all cases the crews were
rescued, though with much difficulty.

SANTOUPU, March 15.-A sanguin-
ary combat occurred on March 14th
on the center advanced line of the
Russian army, eight miles south of
Tie pass. The Russians repulsed the
attack and even made a small ad-
vance through a thousand corpses of
Japanese, advancing a large force oil
the right flank, where General Mist
chenko, who has taken command of
his detachment, though his wound has
not yet healed, is holding the Japanese
in check. The Russian troops have
regained their normal spirits and
fought cheerfully.
1t is rumored that Chinese killed

Guiding, it is said, correspondent Rich

French newspaper correspondent, whp
lived with Mr.. Little, is unknown. A
message was sent to Field Marshal
Oyama today asking for information
as to the fate of the two correspond
ents. M. Nadeau is reported to have
been captured by the japanese.
The office of the censor has been re-
moved to Santoupu, eight miles north

two days he had nothing to eat.

GERMAN POLICY ATTACKED BY
SOCIALISTS
Won Buelow States That Germany Is
Neither Dependent on nor OPP

Impartial
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 15.-Chancellor Won
Buelow, replying to Herr Won Volmar
(Socialist), who criticised the govern
ment for its complaisant attitude to-
ward Russia in regard to the sale Of
merchant ships and the expulsion of
refugees, said in part: Herr Won Vol
mar, who watches foreign events with
close attention, must have seen that
the French Republicans and the French
Democrats still give the greatest care
to the alliance between France and
Russia. The English Liberals have a
lively wish that good relations should
exist between Great Britain and Rus
sia, and those in other lands believe
that the position of Russia as great
power will continue beyond the incl
dents Of the war and internal dis
quiet"
This statement was greeted with
cries of mo, no." from the left party,
and Chancellor Won Buelow then said:
1.-THE Social-Democrats desire war with
Russia. 1 regret to say that they have
the intention to set such a conflict
ablaze and cook their party soup over
the flames" The chancellor read
clipping from a Socialist paper, the
Schwaebische Tagewach, saying that,
IL the Socialists controlled the govern
ment armed forces would cross the
frontier and free their Russian broth
ers.
second time Herr Won Volmar has
spoken of Germany's dependence on
Russia. He repeats this reproach, al
though I have often declared that we
are not dependent on Russia, and that
we do not run after her. but also that
we have no occasion to be unpleasant
toward her, as many persons wish"
Turning to the sale of merchant
ships to Russia, the chancellor said that
both belligerents had bought numer-
Gus trading vessels, the private prop
erty of neutrals. Such transactions
by private neutrals were not prohi6-
tied by International law.
I'VE have been reproached by both
sides,' said the chancellor. "They say
on one side that we have inclined to-
ward Russia, and from the other size
it is said that we desire that Russia
may be weakened by long continu-
ance of the war. One charge is as un-
founded as the other. Both govern
ments know where we stand. Japan
knows she can count on our strict
neutrality"

RENEW WORK ON
BISMYAN RUINS
OLD BABYLONIAN CITY TO BE
EXCAVATED
Or. Harper Of Chicago University Gets
Permission From Turkish Gov

Investigations
By Associated Press.
ea944e&&&94@+%%%@44e4+


CHICAGO. March 15.-Professor Rob
ert Francis Harper of the University
of Chicago, who is director of the eX
pedition of the Oriental Exploration
fund, now in Assyria, has received a
telegram announcing that the work Of
excavating the ruins of Bismya, which
was suspended last autumn, Is to be
resumed. The dispatch was from Vic
tor Persons, engineer in charge, and
stated that the sender started from
Bismya from Bagdad on March 9th.
The excavation was begun in Deem
ber, 1903, and continued until several
months ago, when it was abandoned
by orders of the Turkish government.
The permission to resume work is the
result of DR.. Harper's recent trip TO
Constantinople.
Bismya, which has been identified as
the Adab of ancient inscriptions, Is
one of the most ancient of Babylonian
cities and flourished possibly as early
as 1000 or 5000 years before Christ.
No history of the place has ever been
discovered and tradition does not re-
cord the name of it's ruling dynasty.
The site of the excavation is between
the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, ninety
miles southeast of Bagdad.
1t is a large ruin, second in size only
to Nippur, Warka and possibly Baby
Ion. The length of the entire mound
under which the ruins are buried, in
Guiding small low hill twenty meters
to the northwest, is 1865 meters and the
width $40 meters.

RUSSIAN CRITICISM
Army Is a Blindfolded YokeI, Wildly
Brandishing Its Arms

Brandishing Its Arms
BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, March I'm.
Kiroloff, one of the Associated Press
Russian correspondents, who was
wounded at Lao Yang, continuing his
discussion begun yesterday of the causes
of the Russian defeats, has drawn a
powerful picture of the criminal lack
of knowledge shown by the Russians
concerning the country and the eneny's
movements, and of the utterly impru-
dent babbling which acquaints the Jap
anese with every movement and plan
before they are inaugurated. He COM
pares the Russian army to a powerful
yokel moving forward blindfolded,
wildly brandishing his arms and shout
ing aloud what he will do to the enemy
when he catches him. He cannot see
his path nor his enemy, Here he
stumbles up a hill; there he falls into
a valley. The keen-eyed enemy easily
avoids his waving arms and mighty
fists, and pours in a succession of blows
which sends the Russian yokel reeling
backward, to his bitter astonishment.
kuropatkIn Not to Blame
M. Kiroloff adds that the blame for
the successive defeats is not Kuropat-
kins. 1t is simply due to the fact
that the machine is out Of order. A
good workman was given bad helpers
and miserable tools. The elements of
misfortune were in the army itself. Be

ToGo's FLEET IN EVIDENCE
Rojestvensky Must Decide to Advance
or to Return

BY Associated Press
LONDON, March 16.-The appear
ance of Vice Admiral Togo's fleet in
the track that would be used in any
attempt by Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
to make for Vladivostok is the most
interesting news of the day. 1t is not
known whether Vice Admiral Togo
himself is with the fleet. According to
the Daily Nails correspondent at Sing
apore, who visited the fleet, the Off
GERS were unusually reticent. Two
Japanese officers landed and conferred
with the Japanese consul, and it was
understood by the correspondent that
the squadron would sail shortly again,
as it required nothing.
The presumption concerning Rojest-
vensky's squadron is that it is still off
the coast of Madagascar, but as the
ice in the harbor of Vladivostok is
probably beginning to give way, the
Russian admiral must soon make de-
cision whether to dash for Vladivostok
or return to Russia. Naval experts
here believe that Togo will not come
much further in quest of the Baltic
squadron, on the ground that he can
not afford to run unnecessary risks.

HID BEDS ON ROOF, BUT
OFFICERS FOUND THEM
General Moore Makes Desperate Effort
to Evade Execution, Vigllant
Attorney Outwitting Him


AS the last resource and to prevent
all his goods being taken on an execu-
ton for debt. General Moore of the
Union Mission army, attempted to hide
twenty-six of the fifty-two beds in his
lodging house on East Second street
by placing them on the roof. Attorney
Mccormick and his client, Capt. Will
hite, were vigilant and discovered the
property, which was sold under execu-
ton.
Some weeks ago suit was filed by
Capt. Willhite against General Moore
to recover $304 for wages due himself
and wife. According to the captains
story, he was employed by the general
to run the Union Mission lodging house,
but the general refused to pay their
wages.
In default of answering a summons,
Willhite secured an execution on the
property of the Union Mission army.
Previously, a lad made two attempts
to serve the summons on the general
and each time was literally kicked out.
Three days after the judgment was
rendered, the general appeared and at
tempted to have it set aside, but failed.
Yesterday was the date of sale and
the general thought that he might get
ahead of the prosecutors, so. Captain
Willhite says, and hid twenty-six beds
on the roof of the mission.
