GEN. LlNEVITCH. OVertaken Russia
since the opening of the war, Feb. 8,
1904.
Russia is left senseless. Crowds of
illiterate muZhiks surround those who
are able to read the news bulletins in
the streets and weep while they listen
to the pitiful details of the TsuShima
catastrophe. The worst prediction of
the enemies of the cZardOm are now
found to be exceeded. All the ships
not sunk have been captured. None
has been saved except the Almaz.
Demand End of Regime.
On all sides the cry is heard that
the present regime is responsible and
that it must be cleared out. The Gar
is no longer considered. Even NJ. Sou
vOrine, editor of the ST. Petersburg
Novoe Nremya, demands that the peo-
pie take the helm of state into their
own hands Grand Duke AleXieff'S or
gan, the Slovo, eXclaims that Russia
has had calamitieS enough and de-
mandS Il change of regime that will
give peace. RumorS are spreading that
cation of a national assembly is conf
IDENTIFY expected
Ministers, generals and admirals in
terviewed by the correspondents were
unanimously of opinion that Russia
had lost its sea power for half a CEN
fury to come. They also thought that
peace would come Immediately: that
England and America would help to
modify Iapan's demands and that in
ternal reforms would bring about the
regeneration of Russia.
Japan's decisive victory over Rus
STA in the Strait of Korea is hailed by
all Europe as the beginning of the end
of the conflict. Berlin looks upon the
sea battle as the greatest history MAX
ing naval engagement since Trafalgar.
French naval experts declare Russia
must bring the uneven contest TO a
close London looks upon the result
as averting a general European war.
Japan believes Russia must accept
whatever terms are offered.
Oyama in Action.
dispatches from Adncuufl1 say
that Field Marshal Oyama is already
in motion and that Il general battle is
at hand. General Linevitch has near
ly 100000 men, including the Fourth
and Tenth army corps. which have ar
rived at the front since the battle of
Mukden. He has received hundreds
Of field guns to replace those abandon
ed in the retreat from Tie pass.
Oyama has fully 100000 men. He
is known to have received 10000 re-
endorsements since the battle Of AIuk-
den.
1t is believed Oyama will send Nogi
in swinging march around the Rus
sian left in an effort to get aStride the
railroad as far west as Tsitsihar. thus
isOlating the whole Russian army.

rendezvous it found Japanese fleet in
waiting to give battle.
Rojestvensky sent his converted
cruisers to Woosung near Shanghai,
hoping to draw Togo's feet away from
the Korean strait. AS matter of fact,
the Russian division that went to
Woosung found thirty-three Japanese
warships near by.
Rojestvensky seems to have stationed
a few cruisers and transports at Sad
die island for a similar deceptive pur-
pose. That fleet sailed from Saddle
island nOrthward Friday night, far in
the wake of Rojestvensky's main fleet.
Apparently it attempted to go to the
east of Japan, but advices from Using
tau indicate that it was intercepted at
Oshima island, south of Japan.
Having sent away these two squad
rons on their missions of deception,

John t. Blackwood. a farmer living
four miles southeast of Erie, Pa, was
robbed of $3.50 shortly after II o'clock
the other night by three men, who burst
in the front door of his home and gagged
and tortured him. After futile search
of the house for money they knew to be
hidden there the robbers maltreated the
farmer, kicking out his teeth and pound
ing every part of his body until he rolled
on the floor in agony. Then they burned
his legs and feet with pieces of lighted
paper in the hope that he would divulge
the hiding place of his wealth. His feet
were roasted to blister, the gag forced
further into his mouth and the bands on
his hands and legs frightened until the
blood flowed. When he was almost ex-
hausted and threatened with murder he
gave up his secret. pointing TO a pile of
ashes under which he had hidden his
savings.

was boarded and captured, though it
afterwards sunk.
Altogether, the battle must have been
he of the most thrilling of any age.
There does not appear to have been
any hesitancy on the part of the Jap
anese. They rushed at their foe with
the same fanatical bravery their troops
have shown in Manchuria, and the
Russians, while they fought bravely,
from all accounts do not appear to
have been able to get home in the same
effective manner as their enemy.
Such terrific losses as Rojesvensky
has suffered are not calculated to put
heart into his men.
If he has lost the greatest part of
that without inficting a corresponding
loss upon his enemy, then it is admit
etd that the command of the sea is
lost to Russia, and Japan can continue
to transport men and supplies to Man

II SUITS IN EISIaISs
The story of an old Indiana tragedy
was retold in Salt Lake City the other
day at an inquest over the body of
George NJ. Hill, or Harper, a young man
who died in a lodging house from poi
soning. While the police reported that
the youth was addicted to the use of NOR
phlne and probably died of an overdose.
Mrs. /. NJ. Harper. his aunt, testified
that she believed HILL who had been
known as Harper, was murdered by per
sons Interested in securing an estate val
ued at 100000 which Hill would have
inherited when he became of age. Mrs.
Harper testified that sixteen and one-half
years ago at Winchester, Ind, when Hill
was but months of age, the boys moth
er was shot and killed by his father,
who also severely wounded Mrs. Har-
per, the witness. The father, Mrs. Har-
per testified, was sentenced to life i'm

bottle, which appeared to have been
IN the sea q long time. and containing
an account of a shipwreck, with direc-
tions where the history of the lost Dau-
phin of France might be found, was
picked up at Ocean Park, Los Angeles.
The note in the bottle purported to have
been written by Wilbur A. Harris, a
native of Pontiac. Mich. The writer
said that on May s, 1902, the whaler Ell
Toro. out of Topolobampo. Mexico, was
wrecked off a small island southwest of
Tahiti. Among the members of the crew
who were drowned, Harris declares, was
one Lope Auittemenez, who had in his
possession a manuscript handed down in
his family, giving a complete history of
the lost Dauphin of France, written by
the man in whose charge RObespierre left
him. Harris asks that a professor of
history at Yale university be notified,
and gives directions for finding the his
toric manuscript, which he says he has
buried. Dispatches from Pontiac say no
man by the name of Wilbur Harris can
be located in that city.
