CHECK JAP ADVANCE
RUSSIANS ALSO sIEZE TWO PO.
sITIoNs FORMERLY HELD
BY i6LANDER0.

Mukden, March 1.-The Russians
have seized the head Of the bridge
across the Shakhe river in the center
Of the Japanese lines, assisted by ar
tillery firing Of particular energy from
Putiloff hill and Novosorod hill.
The seizurs Of the railway bridge
across the Shakhe river was the occa-
sion Of q sharp combat. The Russians
succeeded In surprising the Japanese
bridge guards and, reinforced. beat OF
all attempts of the Japanese to regain
possession of it. The Japanese are
using heavy siege artillery in the bonn
bardment of Putilof hill and Novogo-
rod hill and this is believed to be pre-
liminary to an attempt to storm them.
The losses to the defending forces
are insignificant.
The roar of artillery firing Is echo
ing from the hills eastward to the low
fats Of the Hun river valley, the
scene of General Gripenberg's repulse.
The fight appears to be developing in
intensity along the whole line.
Ten determined attacks opposite
Yangsfntung and west of Vanupudzi
were all repulsed with heavy loss.
The situation on the Russian left
flank is unchanged as compared with
Monday evening.
Fighting Is in progress along the
whole line, the Japanese attacking
everywhere. All attacks Tuesday
morning were beaten back and the
Russians made counter attacks at
many places. On the right flank the
Russians occupied the village of Boa
talzsi, which is close to sandiapu, and
from that position hurled hand gre
nades across the intervening ravine
into the Japanese trenches in Sandal
pu, causing heavy loss and great dis.
order.

THE DEATH DICE,
A Strange story That Comes Fro
the Seventeenth Century.

Strange Story That Comes From
the Seventeenth Century.
notable exhibit in the Berlin Ho-
henzollern museum consists of the IA
NOUS death dice" About the middle
Of the seventeenth century beautiful
young girl was murdered, and sus-
picion fell on two soldiers, Ralph and
Alfred, who were rival suitors for her
hand. AS both prisoners denied their
guilt and even torture failed to extract
confession from either Prince Fred
erick William, the kaiser's ancestor, de-
cided to cut the Gordon knot with the
dice box. The two soldiers should
throw for their lives, the loser to- be
executed rs the murderer. The event
was celebrated with great pomp and
Bolemnity, and the prince himself as
sisted at this appeal to divine interven-
tion, as 1t was considered by every
body, including the accused themselves.
Ralph was given the first throw, and
he drew skies, the highest possible
number, and no doubt felt jubilant.
The dice box was then given to Alfred,
who fell OH his knees and prayed aloud:
Almighty God, thou knowest I am
innocent. Protect me, beseech thee!"
Rising to his feet, he threw the dice
with such force that one of them
broke in two. The unbroken one show
ed six, the broken one also showed six
on the larger portion, and the bit that
had been split oft showed one, giving
q total Of thirteen, or one more than
the throw Of Ralph. The whole audi
ence thrilled with astonishment, while
the prince exclaimed, "God has spo-
ken" Ralph, regarding the miracle as
sign from heaven, confessed his guilt
and was sentenced to death. 1t is prob
able that Alfred ever after did not
number himself among those who look
upon thirteen rs an unlucky number

is quite likely that many of the chests

The Word MLinrfkiaha y

The word jinrikisha comes from three
Japanese roots, jin-riki-sha, meaning
respectively man, power, carriage, but
It is not Of Japanese origin. So recent
ly as 1870 the inconvenience of the
slow, numbering two wheeled carts
turned the thoughts Of English resi-
dents to the ease with which the hardy
natives could propel lightly construct
ed vehicle, and one was invented, some
say by missionary, others by news
paper proprietor's son. Ever since then
the heavy carts have been entirely dis
pensed with.

The Japanese Idea of Bravery.

There is Il time when death is much
easier for Il man than to fulfill his duty,
and If he dies just for the sake Of
death he cannot execute the duty that
is assigned him. True bravery is not
in throwing away ones life or counting
death but in doing ones duty at the
hazard of ones life You must not for
get that.-From "a Daughter of Ja-
pan," by Marui Gensai.

Loaded Cars Burned.
New Orleans, Feb. 27.-A fire which
ragged all night destroyed the immense
export terminals of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad, causing loss conserva-
lively estimated at $5,000,0 900, divided
as follows:
: Two elevators, warehouses, sheds.
ETC., $2,5O0,0O0; $4,000 bales Of cotton.
100000; 100000 bushels of grain.
$3.50 $4,000 barrels of sugar, $780,
900; cotton seed cake, 1870 carloads.
$97,50O; lumber, $16,625; cement, $780,
$50; meal. 20 cars. 100000; sundries.
$l50,0O0; 500 freight cars. $376.000;
ships, damaged, $4,000; city fire de-
partment, two engines and six horses,
$4,000; private property and other
damage, >216.0O0. The railroad COM
pany carried its own insurance and
the contents Of the various elevators
and sheds we're insured in local and
foreign agencies.
The wharyes covered 4.760 feet. q
distance Of over ten blocks. OF this
wharfage $500 feet and what it con-
tanned was destroyed, the remainder,
at the upper end of the terminal, be.
ing saved through the fact that the
wind blew strongly In the opposite d.
rection. The destroyed wharf cost
100000. Elevator D, leased to Har-
ris, Scott G Co. of Chicago, cost $780,.
600 when built and elevator e. which
was operated by the Illinois Central,
cost 100000.
Many Narrow Escapes Reported.
Apparently no lives were lost in the
fire though there were many narrow
escapes Of those who were engaged in
fighting the flames owing to its rapid
spread and lives were constantly en-.
dangered by debris Of all kinds that
was whirled through the air. The 81.
cape Of two fire engines was cut of
and their crews had to run for their
lives, Driver Charles Richardson of No.
6 being painfully hurt.
The fire started In the conveyers to
elevator D. 1t spread with remark
able rapidity, sparks dropping into oil
barrels on the wharf and extending
the flames In every direction. Ten
ships were lying at the docks when
the fire started and all except two
escaped without damage. All the tugs
in the harbor that had steam up hur.
ned to the scene when the fire started
and by heroic efforts succeeded In
pulling the steamers into the river out
Of reach of the flames.
In addition to the railroad property
the fire destroyed the Crescent Ice
company's plant, many small stores
and large number of small resi-
dences and many pathetic scenes were
witnessed as the poor occupants of
them struggled to save their small
belongings at the risk of their lives.
The fire will temporarily throw out
of work large number of employees,
but this loss will be compensated by
the much increased number that will
be employed in the course of a few
days in clearing away the debris and
reconstructing the terminals at the
highest attainable speed.

Chadwick. when placed on the stand
,in the bankruptcy proceedings against

tconsultation with her attorneys she
tnpally consented to take the oath. She
vas then asked to state her name. She
refused to reply to this or any other
questions that followed.
Mrs. Chadwick sought refuge in her
privilege as an accused person and
she refused to answer most of the
questions on the ground that what she
said might tend to aid the prosecution
Of her criminal cases. Referee Rem
tington found In her favor, although he
insisted against her counsels' wishes
In making her give quasi-explanation

Eggs.

It is not only cigars that vary in name
without varying In quality. The pres
ent writer was once told when hesitat-
ing between fresh eggs" at ten q
shilling and good breakfast eggs" at
eight a shilling or something to that ef-
feet that these two brands were pre-
cisely the same, but had to be sold az
two qualities because no customers
would buy eggs at a shop where only
one quality was advertised. That may
or may not be 80. The fact remains
that there are many qualities Of eggs
