 Reign of Terror.

St. Petersburg. March 20.-(2-35 a. m.)-Peasant disorders are growing rapidly in the black soil belt and other districts of southern Russia The pro vincial journals bring alarming reports. showing that an actual reign of terror already exists in some districts Not only are estates plundered and build ings burned. but landlords are brutal ly murdered. In some places armed Moujiks have taken to the forests and actual battles have occurred between them and the estate guardians.
 Millions of copies of two documents called The Golden Scroll and ~Di- vision of the Lands" have been circu- lated by agitators. Both tell the peas ants that the emperor has decreed a division of the land. Provincial news papers are urgently demanding that the government take energetic meas ures to check the movement before it is too late.

THE LOSS OF THE coLoRs
Presented by Czar a Half oF Gen..
 tury Ago.

General KurOkis headquarters in the Field, March IS. via Fusan.-GeneraI Kurok's army continues to lead the Japanese forces. which have now been engaged for nine days in a hard pur- suit in which they have covered a dis tance of more than 95 miles, with fre-' quent fighting. The weather in the mountains is very cold, with frequent hard storms. A brigade in advance oc- cupied Tie Pass on Wednesday night after a brief engagement.
 The Russian retreat became more disorganized daily after the storm. Dur ing the first day the Russians buried their dead but since then they have left the dead wherever they fell On Tuesday the Russians made an attempt at resistance in the entrenchments north of the Hun river but abandoned them after they had been shelled for two hours.
 Kuroki's army captured the colors of the Fifth regiment of rifles. The colors were presented to the regiment by the emperor in 1853. Most of the captured organizations succeeded in burning their standards, before sur rendering. It is reported that during Kuropatkin's resistance at the lower hill on the first day of the fighting he was slightly wounded by an II inch shell which fell near him.

EVIL TIMES HAVE COME.
The Result of the War a Punishment
 of a Sinful Nation.

St. Petersburg. March 2O.-The Met rOpolitan Antonus has issued a re- marflable pastoral address arraigning the Russia of today for vanity, frivol- ity, dissipation and impiety the just punishment of which is iH the humilia- tion of nation, and preaching re- pentance 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 wholly a different country strong in love of the holy religion. impregnable in devotion to the emperor, and the fatherland. Now, while carrying on a great war, instead of congregating in a spirit of high, self denying patriot ism, internal dissention reigns in the land. Everything is overthrown. science is neglected and what is holy is trampled upon."

The Northern Procession Does Not
 Even Hesitate.

With Japanese Left Armies in the Field. March IS, p. m., via Fusan, March 19.-The Russian army contin- ues it's northward retreat, the Japanese following. The Japanese occupied Fakomen, to the northwest of Tie Pass. Yesterday e evening Russian cavalry camped three miles south of Kaiyun. Large Russian columns are retreating towards that place. from the south west. Natives report that they are not stopping there, where the hills make a defense possible. If the retreat is forced is will probably be continued to Har- bin. The Russians are' reported to be badly disorganized.
