NO NEWS FROM FRONT.
TELFGRAPHlc COMMUNICATION
WITH RETREATING RUSSIAN
ARMY INTERRUPTED.
OFFICIALS PREY OF DIRE FOREBODINGs
REAR GUARD ACTION coNTiNU.
Gus ACCORDING TO LAST
PRESS DISPATCH.

st. Petersburg, March 20.-Tele.
graphic communication with the re-
treating Russian army has been cut
for over tWenty-four hours, but the
authorities hope it is only temporary
declaring that they have no informa-
tion that the Japanese have reached
the railroad in General Linevitch S
rear. Nevertheless with the curtain
down the war Office naturally is the
prey of the direst forebodings.
The last word from the front was
contained in telegram from one OF
the Associated Press Russian CORE
spondents, the only correspondent with
the retiring army. It presaged an at
tack from the rear. The telegram, al
though dated Changtufu, forty miles
north OF Tie pass, was sent from kai-
yuan, thirty miles north OF Tie pass.
It was very brief, saying simply that
the army was retiring in good order
and destroying the railroad as it Went,
but was constantly pressed by the
Japanese, the rear guard action being
continuous. There were ominous
words III the concluding sentence as
follows:
"We believe the Japanese are max.
ing wide turning movement north
and that they are ready to fall upon us
when we get out Of the ring-like group
OF mountains which surround the Tie
pass gorge"
Retiring Under Difficulties.
In the long retreat to Harbin the
Russians only have the advantage OF
the mandarin road as far as kaiyuan,
whence it bears eastward to Kirin,
while the railroad continues north to
Harbin.
According to the general staff, how
ever, good wagon road runs parallel
to the railroad. But for an army Of d
quarter OF a million men, encumberel
with imDediments. with an active en-
emy relentlessly pursuing and operat-
ing on its flanks and the. constant
threat OF the enemy closing the line OF
retreat, it is admitted that the single
railroad and wagon road afford poor
prospects of General Linevitch being
able to bring Off the remnants OF the
army confided to his care without a
tremendous sacrifice of life: Ii the
japanese succeed in throwing strong
force across the line OF retreat it is
recognized that the army might be
forced to capitulate.
In the meantime the mobilization OF
a new army has already begun in sew
eral provinces, although the order has
not yet been published.
The newspapers generally endorse
General Linevitch's appointment as
temporary communicating on the
ground that Kuropatkin's S lack of sue
cess made his suppression imperative.

Horta, Azores, March 20.-Passen-
gers OF the French steamer Montreal
are here awaiting passage to New
York after a stormy conflict with the
ships officers.
The Montreal, when 600 miles from
here, returned on March 10 short OF
coal and provisions. The passengers
absolutely refused to proceed. Owing
to the failure to send them by a faster
steamer all rose in revolt and it was
necessary to use an armed force.
A Portuguese gunboat was called
upon for aid, but the passengers men
aced the officers and crew with sum

to leave Horta in the face of the ter
rife weather and with the prevailing
scarcity OF fresh provisions.

Additional Prisoners Captured North
Of Muklen.

Additional Prisoners Captured North
of Mukden.
Toxic, March 2O.-Beyond the gen
eral retirement of the Russians along
the railway northWard little is known
here OF the details OF the past three
days events in Manchuria Various
reports OF the number OF additional
Russian prisoners captured are in cir
culation. One estimate is 10000. 1t
is impossible to confirm the reports.
There is much speculation over the
extent OF the Russian retirement. n !
bin is regarded as a logical base, but
it is suggested that they may attempt
to hold the Kirin line. The country
between Kiayuan and Sungairi is in
hospitable.
Formerly the conservative element
in the high councils of Japan favored
setting a limit to the Mancnurian ad-
vance. 1t opposed going to Hardin,
but the results of the victory at Muk-
den are removing opposition and the

SUM CONSIDERED SMALL.
Germany Believes Samoan Claims
Should Be Paid.

Germany Believes Samoan Claims
Should Be Paid.
Berlin, March 20.-The settlement
Of the Samoan claims has become a
rather touchy point with the foreign
Office, as it is not understood why SO
small a sum as 100000 should cause
the United States and Great Britain
to hesitate in it's payment. The delay
of years has, it is pointed out, been
out of proportion to the amount Of
claims and as the damages are owing,
according to the arbitrator, to a lot OF
INDECENT persons the impression here
is that Great Britain and the United
States have shown delay amounting to
indifference. 1t is admitted unoffi-
cially, however, that the claims for
$4,000 which were prepared by an
American lawyer are in excess of the
actual loss. Germany has not made
any proposition to the United States
or Great Britain, but would probably
accept one-half the amount of the
claims if it was offered.

At the White Star dock there are
three short flights of stairs leading to

Edward A. KimbalI Will Lee
ture for SalemiteS

The lecture which is to be given at
the Opera House next Tuesday evening
by Edward A. Kimball, of Chicago, at
tracts attention everywhere for its
unique presentation of subject that is
nearest to all mankind, at some time in
this mortal existence-even religion.
Mr. Kimball has addressed large audi
ences in the leading cities of America,
and has invariably held the closest at
tention, not by the magic Of his elo-
quence nor by his wonderful intellec-
tuality, but by his plain, common sense
presentation of a great theme.
When in the city of Washington re-

every seat in the National theatre
was filled yesterday afternoon by an in
tellectual audience, who listened to Mr..
Edwad A. Kimball, of Chicago present
the claims OF the religious system called
Christian Science. His lecture was in
NNitoAlhks AhNVioPciotN ~ hAhhJ hNaAN
ly and effective illustrations, and his
delivery forcible."
When it is known that he was sue
eessful business man of the stirring
city of Chicago, it must at once bo
recognized that the lecturer is in touch
with the things of today, that he is no
dreamer, that he is making practical
application of everyday problems Of
the religion that helps all mankind. He
does not come to al his theories, nor
beliefs, neither to display his oratory
or ecclesiastical knowledge, but to tell
the people in simple, straightfor-
ward manner what he knows about the
great truths of life. In short he has
message, and serious one. He does
not come to convert, nor TO plead, but
to give his experience and knowledge
concerning a vital subject.
All are invited to this lecture at tho
opera house next Tuesday evening. Adj
