GERMANY's RUSSIA POLICY.
Herr Bebcl and the Chancellor Engage
in an AWomonious Debate.
(Bv the Associated Press.


Berlin, March 16.-Chancellor Won
BueIow and Herr Bebel the socialist
leader, engaged in bitter discussion
i'm the Reichstag today over Germany S
Russian policy. The chancellors us
ual composure and good humor in
debate were disturbed by the almost
savage criticism of the Socialist chief
who said that Germany's creeping
before Russia had humiliated her in
the eyes of the world and had brought
her to shame"
He held Won BueloW responsible for
Russia's engaging in the nasty work
of catching fugitives from Russian
military service and turning them over
to agents of the autocrat and for fore
ing men and women whose only Of
fence was love OF liberty to leave Rus
sian territory at the instance of RUS
sian spies.
Herr Bebel laughed scornfully at
the chancellors assertion that the So
cialists wanted war with Russia. He
had answered such reproaches a dozen
times Were an insurrection to break
out in Russian Poland Won Buelow
would doubtless send a note to st. Pc
tersDurg offering German troops to
help in suppressing it.
Herr Bebel said it was all very we'll
for the chancellor to say that the sale
of merchant ships to belligerents was
no breach Of international law but
what of these ten German ships among
the forty-five transports with the
squadron commanded by Admiral Ro-
jestvensl1y? They had not been
bought by Russia.
"Is such participation in the war by
German ships with German crews and
under the German flag not a violation
of neutrality? asked Herr Bebel.

Willemstad, Island ofs Curacao,
March 16.--According to. trustworthy
advices received here the situation in
Venezuela is unchanged, both inter-
nally and as to foreign affairs, except
that the relations between President
Castro and the various legations at
Caracas are a little more strained. Cas-
tro has now ceased to talk with the
Europeans representatives concerning
the Venezuelan Indebtedness.
President Castro maintains his bel
ligerent attitude and continues TO
make military preparations
1t is said that the majority Of the
Venezuelana look upon the possibility
of foreign Intervention either with in
difference or favorably as present in-
ternal conditions are causing much un
rest.
Excessive taxation, heavy expendi-
lures, the political preferment of in
capable men and the resulting chaotic
business conditions are turning from
Castro much of the best element in
Venezuela.
Neighboring South American repub-
lies also seem to regard the idea of
intervention without resentment
Brazilian newspapers are openly
advocating settlement OF AFFAIRS III
Venezuela by the United States, and
the South American press is generally
less caustic in its criticisms of Ameri-
can Interference in the affairs Of
Southern republics.
Castro's attitude is reflected in a
pamphlet just issued through one of
his advisers, Colonel Juan Bautistia
Lamedc in which plans for sending
30, 600 Venezuelans against New Or
leans are disclosed. The pamphlet
urges the public to avenge the insults
offered Venezuela by the Americans
and declares that the invasion of the
Mississippi Valley would be the most
effective means of curbing the power
of the United States

EVACUATION AND RETREAT.
The Hopeless Future That Faces the
Cars Flying Forces.
(By the Associated Press.l }


Chicago, March 16.-R special ca
BILE to the Daily News from Toxic
says;
Tie Pass, which was held by about
a division of Russian troops, is now
in possession of the Japanese. After
a slights resistance the Russians evac-
uated at midnight the strong positions
they prepared months ago, setting fire
to the railway station, and other build
ing4 The Japanese troops, which
had occupied Yinpao and east Fushun,
arein hot pursuit of the retreating
Muscovites along the Kirin road. 1t is
predicted that the Russians will re-
treat to Harbin.
Toxic is preparing municipal
celebration Of Japans victory for Sat
urday.''
General Kuropatkin and the rem
nants of the army which was de-
feated by the Japanese on the Shakhe
and Hun Rivers and again around
Mukden and Tie Pass, are now in the
mountains a few miles north of the
southern entrance to the pass trying to
shake off their pursuers who appar-
emily are not going to repeat the mis-
take of Lao Yang and allow the Rus
sian army to escape.
KuropatIzin has been reinforced by
the garriSonS of Lie Ling and other
northern towns and few troops, who
were on their way from, Russia when
the battle of Mukden began. But even
with these there seems little hope for
him. True he has some thirty or for
ty miles of hiIly country extending
from Tie Pass to FenhautSien, which
might enable him to hold off the enc
my for time, but once out of the
hills he has before him nearly 500
miles of fiat, open country and in
Vulnerable rivers and streams to cross.
This is what is termed the great val
ley of the Sungari, but is in fact an
immense plain, bounded on the east
by high mountains and extending
northward into Siberia and westward
into Mongolia. Kirin, east of the rail-
way, and Harbin, the most northerly
point on the railway where it
branches off to Vladivostock eastward
and to Siberia westward are the CEN
tres of this wonderfully rich country
resembling in many respects the north
west territories Of Canada
The distance from this place to
Harbin is very little less than 300 miles
and except for the first few miles.
every acre is under cultivation or sup

have no fear. Hardly pound of last
years crop of beans, millet or wheat

purchased all the cattle and horses

The Russian loan status.
lBy the Associated Press. }

Paris, March 16.-The postpone
ment of the proposed new Russian
loan continues to occupy attention in
official and financial investment cir
cles. The bankers take the view that
the loan is not a failure and that an
adjustment of the conditions may still
be reached. One of the bankers who
went to st. Petersburg relates that
during a conversation with M. Witte
the latter remarked:
I'VE can afford to suffer a defeat
itA Manchuria but not one in Paris. I"
This is taken TO indicate a strong
feeling in ST. Petersburg for all possi-
BILE concessions to maintain Russia s
financial position in the French mar
ket.
The peace movement has gained a
strong impetus by the postponement OF
the loan and this leads to reports that
France is adopting discreet means to
induce Russia to accept peace. How
ever, authoritative statements are
made that France has not taken any
action nor has Russia given any i'm
dication of willingness to discuss
peace.

ahead of him without hitting it. They
aver that he made several such at
tempt before the accident and then
became confused and> failed to stop
his train in time.
Passengers on both trains became
wildly angry when they discovered
the cause of the accident and made a
rush for the motorman, with cries of

him." Police reserves were called out
The motorman was not arrested.

that if Kuropatkin escapes from

passable. But if he is hard pressed
there is not a defensible position, un-

POTATOES WILL Be SCARCE


VIM. Zimmerman, staff correspond.
ent of the Chicago Packer, a market
publication, who was recently in
Princeton and on his way. home from
crop-investigating tour, says that
in the northwestern portion of Mime.
sofa the yield of potatoes will not be
more than one-fourth of the usual
average and that in the northeastern
part of the State there will be at least
one-third deficit in production.
s'Within seventy five miles of Min.
neapolis,' says Mr.. Zimmerman, sis
located the greatest potato district in
the whole country. I refer to that
district along the lines of roads be-
tween Minneapolis and Duluth. Every
fall on the average this section will
send out 10000 cars OF fine potatoes.
''This season, however, the crop
will be fully third less than usual, q
result of blight, being caused by ex-
cessive rains. In the Red River val
ley the potato crop is worse off yet.
There the crop is not over q quarter
of the usual average. Blight is get
ting to be a serious thing for the Min
nesota potato crop. Two years ago
it was unknown in the State. This year
it has worked great havoc.
SIN Wisconsin, which is also a
great state for potatoes, the potato
sections being scattered over It, blight
has destroyed half the crop. f. -

the same as far as the potato crop is

ceiving q to 80 cents for potatoes.

"Soon, however, the general short
