formed on her body Yesterday alter

suited from natural causes. The marks

say he will not be arrested, as there is
no suspicion OF foul play. Miss Dennis

AllegaI Irish Descent.

LOgansport, Ind, March 1S.-The
Ancient Order of HiberDians celebrated
st. Patrick's Day with banquet and
public speaking. The incident of the
evening was the claim by o. z, Smith,
State labor organizer, in a speech, that
the japanese Generals 0yama and Oku
were descendants Of Irishmen, and still
bore the original Irish names of their
families, slightly modified. "Oyama is
of Irish ancestry" said Smith, land his
name, as originally borne by bis fore
fathers, vase Yams. The original o. Yama
whose given name was Patrick, left Ireland
during the EliEabethian age for France,
but was shipwrecked in the Bay of Biscay
and rescued by a Spanish ship bound for
the Philippines. He was taken there
and cast adrift. His descendants went
to Japan, and turned naturally to the
career OF fighting men. Inter-marriage
with the natives gave them standing aud
position close to the Mikado, which was
advanced by their activity in military af-
fairs. General 0ku's name originally
was OKeegh, who, thougha military
genius, was a poor hand at spelling.
By imperial edict he was given permits
sion to cut out few letters. Thus the
family name became Oku, and the sons
and grandsons for many generations fol-
lowed the fighting trade"

THE WAR.

1t is reported that the japanese nave
cut the railroad communications behind
the Russian army. The japanese
captured many prisoners at Tie Pass
and the Russians destroyed vast stores.
General Oku's army, which stood the
brunt of the fighting around Mukden,
lost between IS, 900 and 20, 900 men and
inflicted upon the Russians loss OF, in
Guiding prisoners, 1000.
Kuropatkin's forces at the beginning
of the battle of Mukden consisted OF
over $50, 900 men. His loss in killed
aud wounded before March 10 is esti-
mated at 20, 600.
So fierce was the fighting at Lik-
ampu, near Mukden, that both Russian
and japanese dead we're piled in heaps
about the streets.
General Kuropatkin, in disgrace, has
left the retreating Russian army to the
command OF General iinevitch, his sue
cessor and has started on his return to
st. Petersburg. The new commander
in-chiei has a very difficult task before
him to extricate the Russian force from
the enveloping movement OF Marshal
Oyama. Grave anxiety is felt in St.
Petersburg for the safety of General
Lineyitch, although by this time
reinlorcements from Habin are
thought to have given him an avail
ing fighting force of 26S, 900 men.
General Lineyitch has been appointed
to succeed General Kuropatkin, who has
been dismissed in disgrace as commander
in. chief in Manchuria. The Cars con-
fdence in Linevitch was won by his
successful repulse of IL japanese attacks
at Mukden. His task of saving the
remnant OF the army Is by no means
easy. Lieutenant General Lineyitch is
in the sixty-sixth year Of his age. He
was fighting in the Caucasus when he
was 81 took part in the Russo-Turkish
was OF 1877-7S, and has since then
taken part in all of Russia's Asiatic
campaigns. Lineyitch was also promi-
nept in relief Of the legations at Peking.
He is greatly beloved by the soldiers be-
cause OF his constant solicitude for their
welfare.
In Poland the dissmissal of General
Kuropatkin is interpreted to mean that
the war will continue.
NJ. KirilofT, the Russian war cores
pondenl, in a criticism of the Russian
army conditions, concludes that the
chic cause of the Ieverses was the COM
pleie inactivity of the general staff.

New York, March 18.-John Hay,
Secretary of State, was said to be very
sick man when he sailed for Naples on
the Cretic this morning. His family
came to the dock with him. Secretary
Hay was very feeble and had to be sup
ported by members of his party. He
tainted once and later again collapsed
and finally had to be placed in a chair
and wheeled to the steamers deck. Mrs.
Hay sailed with her husband. Members
of Mr. Hays party, when questioned,
said there was nothing serious with the
Secretary; that he was simply little
overcome by excitement and fatigue.
When Mr.. Hay reached the Cretic's deck
he was taken to the suite engaged for himself
and Mrs Hay. When toe ship sailed he was
being attended by the ships surgeon. The
doctor said to reporters: "Mr. Hay, | think,
is a very sick man. The attack was only
temporary. His heart action was good,
though his temperature was above the nor
NAL lIe is very weak, but the sea trip will
do him good.n Mrs. Hay, just before the
ship sailed, admitted that her husband was a
very sick man. She said: mo one in Wash
ington, except the family and possibly the
Cabinet, realized how iii Mr.. Hay has been
for some time. This is not the first time he
has collapsed, for since the severe attack Of
grip he had this winter, he has been very,
very weak"
OF Sandy Hook the steamer signalled that
Mr.. Hay was much better.

Scarcity of fat cattle is causing the
packers to offer an advance over
prices paid for beeves shipped out of
the Pendleton country a few weeks
ago, and it is predicted that before
spring opens up the market will go
soaring.
There are more than 5000 head of
beef cattle fattening in the Butter
creek neighborhood for shipment to
the Portland and Sound markets, and
the first carloads will begin to move
within the next 10 days. Six weeks
is about the time required in getting
a consignment of range stock ready
for market, and as soon as the feeding
pens are cleared another batch is
brought in.
a recent shipment of cattle to Seat
tie is said to have brought 3 "a cents
per pound on the hoof, and buyers are
offering to contract for 4 cents for
February shipments.
The damp weather of the present
month is bringing out the grass on
the ranges, and the cattle men hail
this with delight, for it lessons the cost
of fattening, inasmuch as the stock is
in better condition when ii reaches the
feeding pens.
