Soldiers of Nicholas, Badly Disorgan- ixed. Making Desperate Efforts to Escape Victorious Troops
 in Their Rear.

General Kurokis Headquarters in the Field, undated.--Everything now ap- pears to be in favor of the Japanese. They have magnificent army In the highest spirits, which is rapidly recu- perating from the effects of the recent battle. and which is fully equipped with everything necessary for Manchurian campaigning. including great quanti- ties of supplies, together with several lines of communication and the best season of the year before them.
 The gain of the strongest natural po- sition on the entire railroad, where much money and labor was expended in defenses under General Kuropatkin's was hardly expected. All indications point to a continuance of the retreat of the Russians to Harbin.
 With the Japanese Army in the Field, via Fusan, March 1S,-(2 p. m. De- layed. )-The Russian army continues its northern retreat, the Japanese fol- lowing. They have occupied Fakaman to the northwest of Tie Pass. Yes terday evening the Russian cavalry camped three miles south of Kaiyuan. ing towards this place from the south west. The natives report that they are not stopping there, where the hills make defense possible. If the retreat is forced, it probably will be continued to Harbin. The Russians are reported as being badly disorganized.

Antonius,s Address.

St. Petersburg. March 2O.-(2:35 a. m.)-Metropolitan Antonius has issued a remarkable pastoral address arraign- ing the Russians of today for vanity, frivolity and dissipation, the punish ment of which is the humiliation of the nation and preaching repentance and the fear of God. Tt Is not the first time" the pastoral says. that on Holy Russia has fallen dire misfortune; but then Russia was a wholly different country, strong in the love of holy religion and impreRnable In devotion to the Emperor and the fatherland.
 Now, while carrying on a great war. instead of congregating in a spirit of high and self denying patriot ism. internal dissensions reigns in the land, everything is overthrown, science is neglected, and what is holy Is trampled on. During the carnival days last week. while our heroes were dying on the battlefields we dared to even abandon ourselves to usual excess and days of feasting and unseemly dissipa- tion- With right we are dasnissA hv

MRS. READER KNOWS
HAS INSIDE OF REGENT HIGH RE-
 PUBLICAN COUNCILS.
Former Alabama WOman's Influence Said to Have Put SantO DO- mingan Treaty High
 i'm the Air.
Advertiser Bureau.
 Colorado Building,

Washington, March 19. Mrs. Ella Rawls Readers first inter- view with Senator Morgan respecting | the Santo Domingan treaty was Sunday February 26. She has taken time by the forelock. When affairs were first beginning to develop she laid many i'm portant matters before the Alabama Senator. Two Sundays later, March 12, she saw him and most thoroughly con- vinced him of her sincerity. to dwell not upon her remarkable intelligence and wonderful intuitive Judgment of human nature.
 The New York and other Eastern newspapers today teem with reference to her. including her own clever state- ments. Senator Morgan has seen what she has let go to the press and tonight said she had very much more in reserve of the greatest importance.
 No sort of doubt is expressed by those who are familiar with the indis- putable occurrence affecting Edward Nelson Cromwell that Mrs. Reader knows him thoroughly, that he has tried to shirk a business understanding with her and that, to use homely phrase. the woman Is too smart for him. She knows his history, has had dealings with him and he simply weakened in the Santo Domingan matter about which notwithstanding his protesta- tions to the contrary. he has undertaken to advise her and her husband and an agent of Morales, the Dominican Pres ident.
 Nobody, man or woman, Alabama woman though she be. knows more of the inside of recent high Republican councils than Mrs. Ella Rawls Reader. A certain Republican Senator. a vigor- ous leader. has testified to that before all his colleagues in a very emphatic way The majority of the Republicans were not aware how much she knew until hasty whispered intimations went around.
 There is no doubt her appearance be- fore Senator Morgan and what followed put the Santo Domingan treaty away up in the air.

March 2O-Q:3O a. m "A sheaf of belated Associated Press dispatches filed at Mukden, Tie Pass and Kaiyuan reached St. Peters burg last evening, having been discov- cred among other papers committed to the cenosr at the front. where they had lain from a week to twelve days. Writ ing under date of March 8, the corre- spondent says that General Kuropat- kins confident declaration of satisfac- tion with the situation had steadied and encouraged the army after eight days battle until the wounded, exceeding in number those of the battle of Liaoyang. were crowding the station and the Russian settlement and in the settle ment cemetery, chaplains were con ducting funeral ceremonies. A few quotations from the correspondents note book indicate the gruesomeness of the scene:

 Rescuers Met Death.
 Eight miners were at work in the Rush Run and five in the Red Ash Mine when the first explosion occurred last night. Five or six hours later, party of eleven rescuers entered Rush Run Mine to locate the dead. They probably had gone back 2.0oo feet when the sec- ond explosion occurred and 1t Is posi- lively known that all are dead, as there is no possible chance for their escape
 After the first explosion miners from neighboring mines rushed to the iIl- fated mine in an effort to save their comrades. On account of the gas it was considered unsafe to enter the mine today. but early tomorrow eight old and experienced miners with safety lamps will enter and close up some of the entries so that fresh air can be forced into the mine.
 The rescuers had gone about 1000 feet into the mine when the second ex= plosion occurred, or less than half the distance to where the miners had been working until the first explosion oc- cured.
 There is no hope of recovery of any of the bodies until tomorrow at the earliest.
 The Red Ash and Rush Run Mines connect together in four places by coal bcng cut through, being under the same management

Peasant Disorder. Ipcre..e.

St. Petersburg. March 20-(2:35 a. m.) ] The peasant disorders are growing rapidly in the black soil belt and other districts of South Russia. Provincial journals bring alarming reports show ing that an actual reign of terror al- ready exists in some districts. Not only are the estates plundered and buildings burned, but landlords are murdered. In some places bands of armed Moujiks have taken to the for ests and actual battles have occurred between them and estate guardians.
 Millions of copies of two documents called The Golden Scroll" and "Divi- sion of Lands" have been circulated. Both tell the peasants that the Elm peror has decreed division of land. The provincial newspapers are urgently demanding that the Government take energetic measures to check the move- ment before it is too late. Commits sions, the bureaucracy Is warned. will go much further. 1t will be possible to stop them only by great bloodshed.
 The Warsaw situation.
 Warsaw, March 19.-(10:45 p. m.)-- Now that most of the strikes are ended, the workmen are beginning to carry out the threat of revenge on such of their fellows as refused to quit work with them. On Saturday a foreman who had refused to join the strikers was fatally stabbed and today a work man who had refused to walk out was shot and severely wounded. The au- thorities fear that these incidents are only the beginning of a series of such outrages.
 The working class are greatly ex- cited in anticipation of orders for mo- bilization. The men are in the middle of violence.
 Scarcely day passes wtthosr the np- pearanc eof seditious pdmphiass. One secret publication entitled 'The Barri- cades." which were recently circulated preached revolutionary doctrines, urg- ing workmen to prepare for the strug- gle and build barricades in the streets. The mobilization is expected to begin eral mills there already are striking as a manifestation of hostility to such measures. The school strike at War saw is reaching an acute stage
 The authorities today issued a final order that boys not returning to school before Wednesday will be expelled re- gardless of their number. The Polish educational committee which recently went to St. Petersburg Is angered at the Governments non-conciliatory at- titude and met here today and resolved to support the boys in striking. More trouble is feared.
 Warsaw and Lodz manufacturers have been invited to send delegates to a meeting of industrial representatives from all parts of Russia at Moscow on Thursday to discuss the commercial sit- uation preparatory to making a report to the Ministry of Commerce.
