HARBIN REPORTED
TO Be BURNING
FIRE SAID TO HAVE BEEN RAGING
SINCE WEDNESDAY,.
Will Be Serious Blow to Russian Com
mander as All Reserve Supplies
Are Stored There.

London, March 2S-Considerable ex-
citement has been caused here by the
nubllcation of a Toxic dispatch from
the correspondent Of the London
Daily Telegraph in which he states
that word has been received at the
japanese capital from the front that
Chinese report that fire, which start
ed in Harbin last Wednesday is still
burning and that a large section Of
the city and enormous quantities of
stores destined for the Russian army
have been destroyed.
The report is not confirmed from
any source and queries addressed to
st. Petersburg brought the response
that nothing could be learned there
rs to the truth or falsity Of the state
ment.
If true it is likely to prove a ser
lous matter to General Linevitch, as
the Russian commanders reserve
stores of supplies were all stored there
and it will be very hard task to get
them replaced by the single track
line of the trans-Siberian railway.
The Russian troops at the front are
none too we'll supplied with food and
ammunition and another prolonged
conflict with the Japanese would un-
doubtedly exhaust all that they have
south of the Sungari river

POL s
THE GIRL AND THE MOON.


 Tonight's attraction, 'The Girl and the Moon" is said. to be distinct novelty in the musical line of enter tainment because of its deviation from the conventional and time-worn meth cd of construction. It's story is romall- ttc-the scenes being laid in France the music is raplete with twenty melOdic numbers and the work of Bea- t1ice Vance, who will interpret the title role, is in itself sufficient to en- tertain an audience for more time than is usually allotted to one performer.
 The piece concerns the adventures of La Croissant. a circus rider, stolen from wealthy parents by gypsies and sold to the proprietor of small couli- try circus where she has mastered the art of bareback riding and all of the tricks of the sawdust ring.
 Her mother and the family attorney having searched far and wide for the missing heiress come upon the scene and by accident discover that La Crois- sant possesses the birth mark Cn her arm, the means of identification. She is installed immediately in her palatlal home on the Seine but the atmosphere of the circus still permeates her at temps to grace the title of La Comtesse, much to the chagrin of her aristocratic surroundings. The ad- vent of her old circus friends and the production of an opera afford Miss Vance unlimited opportunities through out the comedy to display her versatll. ity as a comedienne. prima donna soubrette, bareback rider and many other accomplishments which few wo- men of the stage to-day can boast. Prices are $1.OO, 75, 30, B and % cents.
