The patrolmen who made the arrests have been working on the case some time and It was only after some clever detective work that the gang was broken up and the m mlx rs captured. The attention of the police was first called to the work of the gang when shortly after Christmas Bertha Woodward had her pocketlook taken from her on Indiana avenue. As the man grabbed the pocketbook and started to run the woman scramed and fell in a faint. Collins roomed directly opposite the place where the robbery occurred. He entered in the rear of his bonrding house, remarking to some women who were there that he thought he he;iM i wnnwii scream. The women had heard the scream and Collins stepped to the front door. Turning he called to the women in the house that a woman was lying on th- opposite, side of the street. He helped to carry Miss Woodward Into the hous and th n notin d the police. He was present when the patrolmen arrived and h sard the woman describe the man who robted her.

SNOW PLOWS FORCE THE OPENING OF THE ROADS

Relief Train Makes Seventy Miles on the Pere Marquette Toward the Michigan "Thumb." THAW IX SOUTHERN PART DETROIT. Feb. 5. The Pere Marquette relief train of twenty-seven cars, bearing fuel and provisions for the snow-bound towns In the Thumb" district of Michigan, worked northward from Port Huron sev nty miles, to-day. as far as Bad Ax. It is expected that the additional twenty miles to Port Austin will be covered to-morrow, as well as the branch line from Palms to Harbor Beach. A passenger truiu was pushed through to-day. south from Bad Ax to Port Huron. The Port Huron-Saginaw division of the Pere Marquette has beeu reopened since the storm of the past three days, and on other lines of the Pere Marquette train service is resuming normal conditions, except between Grand Rapids and Chicago, where trains are still running from three to four hours late. On the Grand Trunk no east-bound freight haa been forwarded to-day, except a couple of trains of perishable goods, and only two trains have been received from the east. Grand Trunk passenger trains from the east are now arriving, but several hours late. The Michigan Central has not resumed freight service on its Bay City division and ran only two passenger trains on that division to-day. instead of the four schedul d. But conditions are greatly improved tonight, and it is expected that to-morrow will witness a return to normal conditions. At Grand Rapids it is reported that the interurban line connecting Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, Muskegon and Holland is still out of business. At Niles a heavy rain is reported. Considerable apprehension is felt there regarding the rapid rise of the St. Joseph river on account of the thaw. If the thaw continues it is expected the ice Jam in the river will break loose and cause great damage to bril?es and dams. The thaw seems to be general throughout southern Mi higan. FIRST TRAIN IN TEN DAYS AT LEWISTON LEWISTON", Mont., Feb. 5. Pushed by four locomotives, the great snow plow on the Montana Railroad to-day headed the first train that has reached the place in ten days. During that time three express trains have been tied up in the drift between here and Helena, and, it being impossible to send aid to them, some of tho passengers suffered for food. Two trains are still tied up. In some places tho drifts were twenty feet deep.

NATIVES DYING OUT. But Tahiti Is a Good Place for Nervous People. SAN FRANCI8CO, Feb. 5 Dr. Nicholas Senn. professor of surgery at the University of Chicago, who has just returned from a visit of some months' duration to Tahiti, made a close study while there of the conditions aad customs of the natives. He says they are a simple race of happy, honest, forbearing, but dreamy people, who aro doomed to extinction by civilization. The population, once 300,000, to-day Is only 11,000. Dlse.i' s t the simplest forms cannot be combated by th natis. Tahiti, the doctor says, is an excellent retreat for those suffering from nervous diseases. DISCOVERY IN ART.

Japanese Running as if War Dogs Were A ready Barking at Their Heels

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) tegicallv it would be folly to dispose our forces by sending warships from Port Arthur or men to Korea." The chief of th? naval staff then pointed on a map to th.- Manchurian and Russian territory between Port Arthur and Vladivostock as being the Rusian strong line of -fense. "The Japanese will have a hard job to beat us there." he said. "This is bad country for fighting with a squadron at Port Arthur, four powerful cruisers at Vlndivotock and a strong army mass d between them; mich is the Russian plan for a defensive campaign, from which there is no likelihood of deviation. "The tone of the St. Petersburg newspapers Is 1 ess optimistic. They seem to realize the acuteness of the crisis. The Novoe Vremya remarks that if "a tr..L;.'! u.m conei we incst prepared Is njeet it." It is noticeable, also, that the papers are more freelV discussing the war preparations, chronicling daily the departure of troops eastward from the various provinces. Practically every regiment is furnishing its quota for service there. The imperial court seems undisturbed. Social functions are proceeding as usual. The second court ball is announced for Feb. 9. TO-DAY'S DISPATCHES PESSIMISTIC IN TONE LONDON. Feb. 6. There is much conjecture this morning as to the probable reasons for the brief cruise of the Port Arthur fleet. According to a dispatch to the Daily Express from Che-Foo, the navigation of the' harbor of Port Arthur is seriously impeded by ice. which may have been the reason why the fleet went out. Another supposition is that the vessels had been so long laid up at Port Arthur that the admiral in command desired to ascertain how they would be at sea. The dispatches this morning from all points are more pessimistic. The Tokio correspondent of the Times says the situation is regarded as hopeless. It is generally dclieved, he says, that the councils of the alder statesmen held Feb. 3 and 4 decided upon the final measures to be taken in the event of an unfavorable reply from Russia. The voluntary subscriptions to the war fund exceed two million yen, the correspondent says. Little credence, he adds, is attached to the persistent rumors that Russian troops are about to proceed to Korea at the request of the Korean government. In a dispatch trom Peking, the correspondent of the Times discusses the possibility of the flight of the Chinese court and savs it is perplexed by divided counsels, and that it is not likely to flee unless Russia attempts to invade the great wall. The Teln-Tsin correspondent of the Standard reports that the railway authorities are still bringing all the rolling stock inside the great wall, owing to the uncertainty of Russian movements, while the Russians have prohibited the Japanese from traveling on the railway. The correspondent at Tokio of the Daily Mail says he hears that the Russian fleet at Vladivostock is preparing to sail. BARON HAY ASH I SAYS TREATY MUST BE SIGNED PARIS, Feb. 5. An Interview published here with Baron Hayashl, the Japanese minister to Great Britain, fias attracted marked attention In the highest government quarters, particularly his der laratlons that unless Russia signs a treaty carrying out J;i pan's demands war will result, and also his statement that Japan desires to be left alone and will object to any intervention from Great Britain tending towards inducing the acceptance of Russia's reply. One of the officials in touch with Foreign Minister Delcasse said that if this interview was genuine, as it seemed to be, it was of the highest moment, as being an indication of the warlike attitude of the Japanese government. Baron Hayashl, besides reiterating his former published statements that Japan will insist on a signed treaty recognizing China's rights in Manchuria, is quoted as saying: "If Russia refuses this treaty, we will fight. We will not take promises. Too many promises have been broken and now we insist upon a signed treaty." The baron said Japan would object to British intervention. The London correspondent of the Matin says in a dispatch that he has submitted to Baron Hayashl, the Japanese minister in London, a translation published in a London evening newspaper of the intervfc w with the minister printed here on the Matin (and which Was cabled to the United States by the Associated Press). Baron Hayashl declared the Matin correspondent had faithfully reproduced his utterances and that he was ready to repeat them. M. Motono, the Japanese minister here, has, in the course of an interview, pokes as follows: "There has been attributed to Japan an unbending attitude. As a matter of fact. Japan has not ceased to be pacific and conciliatory. I know we are accused of cherishing war-like designs and wishing for war at all costs and there has been talk of an ultimatum and a threatening note. All this is untrue. When it becomes possible to establish the responsibility in these matters by the publication of the documents showing the various phases of these complicated negotiations it will be seen on which side were prudence and moderation. I can assure you that Japan has made great concessions. Each stage of the conflict has been marked by reiten'teil proof of our good will :n all now depends on Russia's reply to the last Japanese note." M. Motono said further that ho was not aware of the contents of Russia! answer, but that Japan awaited it with confidence. RUSSIAN SHIPS AND MEN IN FIGHTING TRIM ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 5.-A Russian correspondent of the Associated Press at Port Arthur telegraphs as follows: "There is no truth in the report that freight traffic has been stopped on the Manchurian Railway. "All the ships of the Russian Pacific squadron which have been held in reserve arj now in full commission. "The regiments of the Third East Siberian Ritle Brigade which recently left Port Arthur, are taking temporary stations along the Chinese railroad. The Pört Arthur garrison has been strengthened by the arrival there of the Seventh Brigade of conscripts who have n i ittUy been going through a short course of training. Stores of provisions and coal are being accumulated and all the necessary military works are being actively pushed forward. Both the army and the navy are in excellent condition and everything is ready for an emergency; but all are patiently awaiting the outcome of the negotiations. The Russian population is tranquil. Very few Russiii us atv L iving, but many Japanese merchants are selling out and going home. Those remaining hers feel entire confidence in the authorities. The announcement from Vladivostock that pr par ations have been made for the mobolization of the Manchurian reserves was premature. ENGLISH OFFICER ON IV AY TO THE ORIENT ST. LOI'IS. Feb. 5. Capt. W. A. Adams, of the Fifth Royal Irish Lancers, en route from London to Korea, arrived here tonifit. When asked as to his opinion of the likelihood of war between Russia and Japan, he said: "1 am not at liberty to express personal opinions as to military affairs, particularly when they concern other governments. Within the last few w. . ks several officers of the English army have been sem to the ess of what may be a conflict between Russia and Japan. Some have gone by way of the Su z canal, but the rout- they should take v.:is Kft optional, and I chose to come to America. "I understand Japan has but a comparatively small complement Of cavalry, and as I am a eavalry man. I presume my duties and observation will not be great in the en nt of war in the far East." .i t;tln A UBM wa with the Fifth Irish Lancers from the beginning of the Boer war. He also srvnl in India. DRAFT OF THE TREATY WHICH I A PAN IVAN TED LONDON, Feb. C The statement is published here that the draft of the treaty which Japan originally submitted to Ru.-sia contained seven articles, the first of which

provided for the mutual recognition of the integrity and Independence of China and Korea. The second recognised Japan's right to advise Korea on finances and general administration. Th- third stipulated that Russia should not hinder the development of Japan's commercial Interests in Korea. The fourth recognized that Japan was entitled to send troops to Korea in the event of disturbances, such troops to be withdrawn when peace had been restored. The fifth article provided that no fortification be erected on the southern coast of Korea and guaranteed the freedom of the straits of Korea. The sixth article arranged for the eventual Junction of th Korean and Manchurian railroad systems, while the seventh denounced all previous Russo-Japanese treaties relating to Korea.

NAVY W ILL OBSERVE GOOD SEA MANNERS WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. In case of a Japan-Russian war the statement was reiterated at the Navy Department to-day that the fighting ships of the Asiatic fleet will be kept away from the scene of hostilities, and every care will be taken to observe good sea manners. That the American navy, heiwever. may not be without oos. rvers of what will be the great, st naval struggle of modern times, it is said that in all probability several smaller ships of the fleet will be detailtd to go northward with competent officers, who will be detaikel to act as official obr-ervers. No orders to this effect have yet been issued. CHINA URGED TO JOIN JAPAN AGAINST RUSSIA LONDON, Feb. 5. "Yuan Shi Kai. the commander of the Chinese imperial army and navy and the vice president of the war board, have memorialized the throne urgently insisting upon an offensive and defensive alliance with Japan to re-gnin Manchuria,'' cables the Shanghai correspondent of the London Globe this afternoon. "The m mortals." the correspondent adds, "maintain that the Japanese are better prepared for war than the Russians and are more disinterested.'' DEMAND FOR COAL AT CARDIFF INCREASING LONDON, Feb. 5. There is renewed activity at Cardiff owing to the demand for coal. The Admiralty agents to-day received instructions to secure the prompt loading of coal cargoes for the British fleet in Japanese waters. Steam coal Is so freely sold that it is impossible to obtain spot cargoes. There is considerable pressure for the immediate shipmennt or coal already purChased by Russia and Japan and for the European navies, hence several days are likely to elapse before the British Amiralty orders can be filled. TELEGRAMS RECEIVED ONLY AT SENDERS' RISK NEW YORK, Feb. 5. The significant announcement that telegrams for Japan and Korea can be accepted only at senders' risk was made to-day by the Commercial Cable Company, which has rec eived the following dispatch from its resident manager in China: "From to-day telegrams for Japan and Korea can only be received at senders risk." RUSSIAN ARMY IN THE VALLEY OF THE YALU LONDON. Feb. 5. A dispatch to the Central News Agency from Tokio says that the newspapers there publish telegrams saying that 20. U Russian troops have been concentrated in the Yalu valley with the probable intention of seizing North Korea. It is added that hope of maintaining peace has been abandoned. JAPANESE GIRLS HURRY FROM VLADIVOSTOCK ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 5.

In his prayer at the opening of the Senate to-day the chaplain. Rev. Edward Everett Hale, made reference to the illness of Senator Hanna, sayfhg: "Father, we ask for those who are in great sorrow; we ask for those who are on the bed of sickness; we ask for those who minister to them, that Thou will give them life, light and love."
