BIG RUSSIAN ARMY IN BATTLE.
Heavily lntrenched and Waiting for
Jap Onslaught.


Jap Onslaught.
Toxic. Jan. 22-In we'll informed
quarters bere it is said the Russian
army at Mukden was recently rein
forced by four divisions. Its present
strength is estimated at nine army
corps, or 800, 900 men of all arms.
General Kuropatkin's headquarters
are at Fong mountain, in close touch
with the Mukden Fushun line. The
Russians lately have been heavily
strengthening their wings. At present
two and half divisions are facing
General Oku, two corps are before
General Nodzu and the greater
strength of these corps confronts Cen
eral Kuroki, and guards the coal mines
in the vicinity of the Fushun valley.
Between the opposing armies is a
network of trenches. Kuroki's out
posts are within 500 yards Of the Rus
sian entrenhced along the line ridges
near Kwantalien mountain.
Cannonading and rifle firing are con-
stantly taking place, but owing to the
intense cold there seems to be no i'm
mediate likelihood of a great battle.

TRAIN STOPPED BY ROBBED
SPOKANE FLYER ON o. r. & NJ.
HELD UP NEAR PORTLAND.
-Four Masked Men Command Occu.
pants Of Sleeping Car to Hold Up
Their Hands--seeured JeweIry and
Money Amounting to Several Hun
dred Dollars.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 2. - What is
supposed to have been plan to hold
up the O. r. e. N. company's eastbound
train No. A, known as the Spokane
Flyer, was partially accomplished just
after the train left the East Portland
station Saturday night shortly after
O'Clock. Four masked men boarded
the rear platform of the last car,
known as the "Wslla Walla sleeper"
at the east side depot.
The tracks enter dark rsvine few
hundred feet south of the depot, known
as Sullivan's gulch. AS the train
turned into the gulch the four men en-
tered the smoking compartment and
commanded the occupants to throw up
their hands.
Two of the number passed on into
the sleeper while the other two remain
ed in the smoker and relieved the oc-
cupants of several watches, some jew
elery. $3.50 in money and draft for
$3.50. The occupants of the smoker
were Ben l.. Norden, Dan J. Conan,
Edward Duffy, all of Portland; r. b.
Sinnott of the Dalles and J. Nicholson
of Chicago. The two who went into
the main part of the car met Pullman
Conductor John Hayes, whom they re-
lieved of $75 in money and forced to
go into the smoking compartment with
their other victims.
The robbers did not modest the other
passengers in the car, probably because
their nerve failed them. Instead, stop
ping the train, they jumped off and,
firing few shots for the purpose of
intimidation, disappeared into the
heavy underground along the sides Of
the gulch under the East Twenty
eighth street bridge.

DowIE LEADERS STRICKEN.
Strange Malady Affects People of Zior
City.

City.
Chicago, Jan. 23.-Sickness has
stricken the leaders of Elijah" Dow
les Zion, the prophet himself being a
victim of stomach trouble which has
become practically chronic and which
prevents the untiring expenditure of
energy which it was his wont to make
in addressing his audience. Among
the afflicted are DIR. Dowie, Mrs.
Dowie, Carl Stern, Chief of police, and
Mrs. Speicher, wife of the overseer.
Besides these one fifth of the residents
of Zion are said to be suffering from
a strange malady which shows symp-
toms similar to grip. 1t is strange to
the sufferers at least, and there is not
physician there to make diagnosis.
Chief of Police Setrn is so desperate
ly ill that he was carried on a cot to
the station at Zion City and there put
in a special car and started for a life
and death trip to Nassau, Bahama is
lands. While the police chief lay in
the car, the under shepherds of Dowie
stood by the cot and offered prayer.
Regarding the reports of a revolt
against the Dowie, good authority
says Dowie has shocked many of his
older followers. His apostleship" is
too much for them. Many Of them are
keeping up their membership only until
they can dispose of their holdings in
Zion.

Moscow are greatly excited over the
news from st. Petersburg, which was
received voer the telephone from pri-

through the city. Last night it was
then only topic of conversation.

ed and the social democrats are resolv-
ed to make the best of the opportunity
The factory and mill owners are also
excited, as a general suspention of
work is expected January 26.
The owners and the authorities are
comforting in regard to the measures
to meet disturbances. Many shop

Into the last hours of Sunday and
the first of Monday were crowded
some of the momentous and frightful
events which will ever be recorded in
the pages of Russias history. Within
one hour from the time this dispatch
is written is to begin, according to the
strike leaders. the great struggle for
freedom. This is the program of the
strikers as outlined and decided upon
at the meetings held late Sunday night.
Riot has given way to revolution. The
labor troubles which gave rise to the
awful outbreak are forgotten. The
mobs are led by political agitators.
Down with the monarchy" is the slo-
gan of the hour and the red flag flies
over every body of rebels.
St. Petersburg today is in the throes
of revolution which is spreading with
every minute. There are those in Of
ficialdom who believe that the throne
is in danger. The horrors of Sunday
evening were exceeded by far by those
of the night and early morning.

The correspondent of the Associated
Press has just returned from a trip
through the Nevsky Prospect as far as
the Moscow station.
All the stores and houses are closed
and the windows and doors are barred,
but sullen crowds Of strikers continue
in the streets. The whole appearance
of the district is sinister and an ex-
plosion might occur at any moment.
The police are going from house to
house warning the people to remain in
doors, an injunction which the terror
stricken inhabitants sitting in their
darkened homes, are glad to obey.
The greatest fear is that the water
supply mwill be cut off and the city
burned. The military authorities are
trying to find workmen to start up the
electric plant.
The troops had not fired on the peo-
pie up to this hour.
1t is rumored that Emperor Nicholas
will issue a manifesto tomorrow de-
claring st. Petersburg to be in a state

DEAF
MUTE
SCHOOL

The report of Superintendent Clarke,
of the State Deaf Mute School, shows
that there are now 20 pupils at the
school, and ten others have applied for
admission, but have been refused for
want of room. The report says that
the school is now crowded, and accom-
modations should be provided for 125
children. For providing this additional
room, he recommends hat $4,000 be
appropriated, and says:
CATER spending this we will have a
patchwork affair in a poor location for
the work intended. The sum of $4,000
will give us a modern, up-to-date plant
in a suitable location. The present build
ing can then be used for some other pur-
pose, for which the loc8tion is less in
appropriate
The state owns a piece of school land
on South Commercial street, just north
of Rural cemetery, which would make
a beautiful location for the deaf mute
school, which should be in the city, as
the deaf mutes learn nearly everything
by seeing life going on before them.
The present site is six miles in the oun
try between the insane asylum farm and
the reform school, and could be used
for the insane, and save buying more
land or erecting a new building for that

City council met in regular session

and the coming in of the new councils.
Patriots were there, catching the pro-
ceilings. Mayor Waters looked a little
more dapper than usual, and expedited
the program in his customary business
like style.
Aldermen Sims, Catlin and Smith
were the only members of the old coun-
ell who failed to answer roll call.
The committee on ordinances reported
back to the council a number of ordi-
nances without recommendation, Chair
man Bayne saying that the old commit
tee had not had sufficient time to inves-
igate, and desired the new committee
be free to act as they deemed best. The

ported favorably on issuing FIVE saloon
