publicly pledge his word for the exc
cution Of the projected reforms and
make stirring personal appeal through
them to the people to loyalty rally to
the support of the Russian arms and
cooperate in prosecuting the war to a
successful termination.
Such a personal appeal from the
sovereign undoubtedly would have a
powerful effect throughout the coun-
try. and the dynasty would have an adj
vantage over the plan Of submitting the
question Of peace or war to the zern-
skyzabor, which some of the newspa-
,erS are again urging.

THE CAR WAS IN A RAGE.
A ST. Petersburg Correspondent TelIs
of a Tilt with Ministers.

London. March i7.-The ST. Peters,
burg correspondent of the Daily Chron-
icle telegraphs:
II saw a high parsonage of the court
today, who gave me an account of the
scenes between the car and his minis
tiers at the council last Saturday. Ths
emperor heard the reports from vari-
Gus ministers as to the situation in
certain districts in which absolute dis
order reigns and also received news
announcing the disaster at Mukden.
The car. in violent terms, accused the
ministers of trying to conceal from him
the true situation. 1t was the first
time the ministers had seen the en-
peror in such a temper. No one stirred.
Witte, however, gave the czar to un-
derstand that under such conditions 1t
would be impossible for the ministers
to retain their portfolios.
THE car replied: You may all go
when you please My informant told
me that the car leans much on Trepoff,
WHO probably will be president of the
rational assembly"

social democrats have advised the strik-
ers who are without money and con-
f1onted with starvation to return to

St. Petersburg, March 17-Flanking
tactics by the Japanese apparently are
in progress again The Associated
Press correspondent, who remains at
Tie pass, telegraphs that General
Mistchenko on March IA, engaged a
Japanese force on the Russian right 1t
is possible that the attacking force was
a Japanese column which disappeared
from observation during the battle of
MuEden.
The Japanese do not appear to have
renewed the frontal attack up to noon
yesterday the demonstration on Tues
day having shown that the Russians
were prepared to make a determined
resistance.
St Petersburg, March 17.-Kuropat-
kin In dispatch dated March IA says:
"A fierce Japanese attack on the
center OF our positions at Fan river
(ahout thirteen miles south of Tie
pass) has been repulsed. More than
1000 corpses remain in front of our
positions"
Fan river may be described as par,
Of the outer line of defenses of Tie
pass. which probably led to the report
that an attack had been made on Tie
pass itself.
Paris. March 15.-The postponcment
of the Russian loan is definitely con-
firmed. This Is likely to exert a pow-
erful influence towards peace. as 1t is
the first time the French f1nancers
have shown an ndsposition to advance
funds While the uncertainties of war
continue. 1t is authoritavely denied in
the highest Russian quarters that the
French government exercises any pres
sure towards preventing the increase OF
French holdings of Russian securities.
Nevertheless 1t Is probable that some
members of the government, acting in
dividually, voiced the prevailing view
that caution was desirable 1t is sig
llitlcant that the postponement Of the
| loan Is coircident with strong move
ment of the influential French press IA
