CZAR ANO HIS BROTHER : IHSPECT llffl WARSH EPS - Workmen Are Urged to Hasten Completion of the Vessels Cheers for Royalty. BANDITS TO BE SCARED

ST. PETERSBURG, March lS.-Thc Emperor and his brother. Grand Duke Michael, heir presumptive to the throne, wearing naval uniform., visited Galernii island today and inspected the battleships Borodino, Orel and Andrew. They were accompanied by the Grand Duke Alexis, high admiral, and Admirals Avekm and Rljestvensky. Captain Seberiannikoff received the august visitors on board the Borodino, which the Emperor inspected, minutely examining the arrangement of her guns and torpedo tubes and manifesting special interest in the stoutness of her armor. He examined the guns already on board the Orel. The Andrew is so little advanced in construction that she was not inspected by the Emperor. His Majesty conversed with the dockyard employes and told them their work would soon be finished and requested them to exert their best efforts, promising to repeat his visit in a month. Great crowds of peopfe greeted the Emperor on his arrival and departure. He will go to the new admiralty yard to-morrow and later in the week to the Baltic works. The reports of the abandonment of Port Arthur continue to nrouse the bitterest resentment, the papers denouncing the story as a stock-Jobbing scheme. One paper remarks: "Let other countries be fed on such tales, but while Russian blood is Mowing the authorities should not allow the people to be disturbed by such falsehoods. The official telegrams are believed and trusted by every one." A copy of the Novi Krai, of Port Arthur, which has Just arrived, here, contains the viceroy's appeal to the civilians of Port Arthur to volunteer and promising to equip them at the government's expense. It also contains the warning issued by General Stoessel, notifying the officers to refrain from the discussion of military affairs, .with which they are unacquainted, as irresponsible gossip was likely to lead to the dissemination of false reports and threatening soldiers and civilians found intoxicated with imprisonment in the fortress. A similar warning1 was addressed to the dockyard employes. The government is building some armored trains for use on the Manchurian railroad, after the model of those used by the British in South Africa. They will not be employed so much on account of fear that the Japanese may cut the road as for their moral ' effect upon the Chinese robber bands, who may become emboldened by the war. It. is believed that when the bandits see the. iron monsters they will not come near the railroad. . .

It is expected that the decision in the Superior Court trial will practically cover the Issue involved In the motion before the Probate Court. In the latter motion couusel for Mrs. Bennett and the residuary legatees asked for Mr. Bryan's removal, on. the ground that his personal interests were alleged to be in couilict'with his duties as executor, and that as executor he proposed to waste the estate by appeals to the higher courts.

The palaces of Emperor Francis Joseph and the Archduchess Clothilde, at Buda-Pesth, were stoned by a mob yesterday evening, resulting in the windows being broken, because the buildings were not decorated in honor of the anniversary of the revolution of 1S43. A great crowd of students and workmen, after a demonstration In front of tho statue of the poet Petoty, paraded the streets and noticing that the palaces were not displaying flags, like most of the other edifices, showered .them with stones until the police charged and dispersed the rioters. A number of persons were Injured and many arrests were made. GERMAN DUELIST IS SENT TO PRISON DRESDEN, March lb.

The newspapers here . arc reproducing a curious prophecy attributed to St. Seraphim, the holy hermit of Satafoff, in which he pre dieted his canonization by the . Emperor last year, and also the present war. Tho oracular utterance follows: "Marvel not that the leaders failed to reach the mill. There will come a greater wonder when a. multitude, like ears in the cornfield, will march with banners to Sarafoff. Shortly thereafter will come a burdensome war for Russia. The Emperor will go to battle, I with him, and we shall rend the cloak from off England's shoulders." - :. The Russ prints a long leading article controverting, a series of articles In tho Novoe Vremya, claiming that the war was brought on by the machinations of the Jews in revenge for the Kishineff occurrences, declaring that the Novoe Vremya's contention is absurd and scoring the latter for sowing race hatred at such a critical time. M. Komanroff, the leader of the PanSlavists in the Svet, replies the statements recently made by M. Kurlno, the former Japanese minister at St. Petersburg, declaring that Japan is solely to blame for the war, "the political savages of Japan having ensnared their country In this wild adventure.-' The Novösti prints an article by an expert to prove the feasibility of the Baltic fleet making the northern passage, b5' way of the Bering straits, to join tho Pacific, squadron in the spring. A military expert in the Russky Invalid contends that the Japanese action in covering their force3 at Ping-Yang, Korea, and at their bases, Chemulpo, Chlnampo and at Seoul, means that detachments have moved out along the Vel-Lim-Kang, which may be compared to a miniature Tugela river. A number of these detachments, it is added, have crossed the Vel-Lim-Kang at Pan-Chen, eight miles trfja AnjU.

The first regular train on the Shan-Tung Railway arrived at ßi-Nan-Fu from Sin-Tao last night, having covered the distance, 252 miles, in. fourteen hours. The train was decorated with the Chinese and German flags and had on board a number of Germans. The station at Si-Nan-Fu was brilliantly illuminated. Sin-Tao is the terminus of the German railroad at the entrance of Kiao-Chou bay, the naval station of Germany in China. Si-Nan-Fu is about 215 miles south by east of Peking. Pao-Ting-Fu, the southernmost station of the railroad running southwest from Peking, is about ISO miles from Sl-Nan-Fu. Therefore it would seem that at no distant date Kiao-Chou bay and Peking may be connected by rail. RUSSIAN STUDENTS MUST QUIT GERMANY BERLIN, March 16.

VICE ADMIRAL STARK RELIEVED BY MAKAROFF ST. PETERSBURG, March 16.-Official orders were published to-day relieving Vice Admiral Stark from the command of the Port Arthur division of the navy, ostensibly on account of illness. No successor will be appointed, Vice Admiral Makaroff having determined to serve as squadron commander as well as commander-in-chief of the entire Russian naval force in the far East. Captain Schtchensnovitch, commander of the battleship Retvjzan, has been decorated with the Cross of St. George for repelling the last Japanese torpedo attack and sinking the Japanese fireships. The talk of -'Pyroxlline" (poisoned) swords having been left behind by the fleeting Japanese Is based upon the mistranslation of a Russian technical term. General Zilinski, chief of staff to Viceroy Allexeff, in a telegram said that Pyroxiline had been found in the form of disc-shaped torpedoes, six inches in diameter, which the Japanese intended to use in bestrewing the road over which the Russians were expected to pass in order that the explosions resulting from the impact of the horses' hoofs might cause a stampede. As the road between AnJu and Ping-Yang is very narow the hoofs of the horses of the Russian cavalry and artillery, the wheels of the wagons would have been certain to have exploded the torpedoes, thereby causing great confusion. TWO JAPANESE SHIPS , ' REPORTED AS DAMAGED PORT ARTHUR, March 16. Another passenger of the steamer Argun, captured by the Japanese off the coast of Korea Feb. 7 and taken to Sasebo, who returned here yesterday, declares that he saw two damaged warships towed into Nagasaki Feb. 26, ope" being the Asuma and the other a cruiser, said to be a flagship, having: a heavy, list. Other passengers of the Russian merchant vessels captured by the Japanese warships arrived here, to-night from Japan. In the course of interviews these passengers claimed that they observed general drunkenness among the Japanese troops, though the sailors maintained an excellent bearing. They report that the Japanese cavalry makes a pitiable appearance; the horses being small and weaklooking. The passengers brought evidence that the Japanese had worked out a plan of campaign ,and fixed a date for the commencement of operations at least two weeks before hostilities began. The Russians are indignant over the conduct of an Englishman, who had lived at Vladivostok, who cheered the Japanese transports. Everything is quiet here. There is no sign of the enemy. Advices from Feng-IIuan-Cheng, about forty-five miles northwest of Wiju, say the Russian troops are showing an admirable spirit in surmounting the diiriculties and hardships of the march over the frozen tracks of East Manchuria. JAPANESE GIVE DEAD RUSSIANS FULL HONOR NEW YORK, March 16. Two Russian blue jackets, whose bodies divers recovered from the cruiser Variag, have been buried at Chemulpo with full honors by the Japanese, says a World dispatch from Seoul. Twenty Japanese sailors, carrying the Japanese flag draped with crepe, Nheaded the cortege. Behind them walked two more sailors bearing wTeaths bf flowers. Then followed the coffins, which were covered with a Russian flag and rested on a gun carriage drawn by sailors. A guard of honor of blue jackets from the United States and French gunboats In the harbor succeeded the gun carriage In line. The Rev. Mr. Bridle read the funeral service, and praised the valor the dead had shown. All the Japanese residents went to the grave and bowed to the coffins. The Japanese fired three volleys as the coffins were lowered. ARMY CORPS MARCHING FROM VLADIVOSTOK PARIS, March 16. The Temps correspondent at St.. Petersburg asserts that ä Russian army corps is descending from Vladivostok toward Korea. He adds that Port Arthur has a garrison of 30,000 men, and is provisioned for a year. The Russian Ministry of Marine, the Temps correspondent further asserts, claims that Japan's losses since the opening of the war are four cruisers and five torpedo boat destroyers, and that machinery of a 12,003ton battleship is seriously injured. The correspondent concludes his dispatch with asserting that the concentration of Russian troops at Mukden and Harbin is considered as terminating the danger from a Japanese landing in the northern part of the bay of Korea. RUSSIAN SHIPS SEEN STEAMING NORTHWARD TOKIO, March 16. Tokio is unadvised regarding the "naval plans an4. movements of the Russians, and is in doubt whether the remnant of their fleet is still at Port Arthur or is en route to Vladivostok. Late this afternoon a telegram reached the Navy Department, saying that seven Russian ships have been reported as passing Fort Lazareff. The report was not circumstantial. It did not give the character of the ships or the direction in which they were sailing. It Is anticipated that the Japanese, by their activity, will speedily determine the whereabouts and intentions of the Russians. EIGHTEEN JAPANESE SPIES CAPTURED NEW YORK, March 16. Russian sources report the capture on March 13 of eighteen Japanese spies dressed as Chinese laborers in the village of Wanglin, near West Port Arthur, cables the Herald correspondent at Che-Foo. It is supposed these men were landed from the fleet during Thursday's attack. The men ere being removed to Mukden under the viceroy's orders. The Norwegian steamers Slerstad.

PETERSBURG, March 16.-The Emperor to-day, receiving the German attaches, Lanenstein and Tettau, who are to leave for the front March 18, said among other thing-s: . "Gentlemen, all Europe now realizes that Russia tried to avoid war, and to obtain a peaceful settlement. Many of the powers strove also to attain this end. but Japan forced the war, infringing all international law. Gentlemen, you will be able in the far East to see how Russia observes correct and humane conduct during the war." RUSSIAN SHOT FOR ACTING AS SPY FOR JAPANESE ST. PETERSBURG, March 16. Captain Ivkov, of the Manchurian commissariat service, has been summarily court-martialed and shot for acting as a. spy in the pay of the Japanese. When arrested on suspicion of espionage, documents found in Ivkov's possession left no doubt of the truth of the charges that ho had long been revealing military secrets to the Japanese. The tragic story became public through a simple announcement in the army organ today that Ivkov had been excluded from the service. UNITED STATES COINING MONEY FOR JAPANESE SAN FRANCISCO, March 16. The Examiner says that the San Francisco mint is making United States coin for the Japanese government, gold being sent here for coinage into money, whichwill be used in the purchase of food and other supplies for the army and navy. The last two steamers from the Orient have each brought $2,000,000 worth of gold bullion from Japan. Korean Emperor to Quit Town Palace SEOUL,, Wednesday, March 16. The Emperor intends to leave his town palace and return to Yunbok, his palace in the outskirts of the city. It was here that the Queen was assassinated in 1S93, and from where the Emperor fled to the Russian legation in 1S96. His present residence is situated in the midst of the foreign legations, so that his removal to Yunbok will doubtless be more satisfactory to the Japanese government. Stopped by a Russian Warship. ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, March 16.

We want union . men in hops that are union, with no lowering of the wages or hours io force." CINCINNATI, O., March 16. "All lithograph workmen of Cincinnati.

AMERICA!! INTERESTS Iii JJPASJlll SUFFES Proposed Creation of Tobacco Monopoly Means Destruction of Private Industry. 1 MR. GRISCOM PROTESTS

TOKIO, March 16 -United States Minister Griscom called oa Prime Minister Komura to-day and renewed his representations concerning American interests affected by the proposal of the Japanese government to extend the tobacco monopoly so as to include manufactured tobacco. He urged the fair treatment of American Interests and adequate compensation lu the event of a monopoly being created. It Is understood that Komura gave him ratlsfactory assurances. American capital is heavily invested In tobacco manufacturing In Japan, and the creation of a monopoly means the early and complete exclusion of the industry. The decision to submit proposals for the extension of the tobacco monopoly to include manufactured toUacco and the creation of a salt monopoly to a special Diet convening on Friday next was made by the Cabinet after a long conference. The contemplated action involves a heavy outlay for the purchase of private tobacco manufacturing concerns and the salt interests, but the advisers of the government regard the expenditure at this tim as wise. The Cabinet has decided also to suggest increases in land income, business, wine, soy, sugar, stock exchanges, miners, customs duty and stamp taxes, and in addition the creation of new taxes upon silk piece goods, kerosene and wools, the estimated total increase amounting to 6$,0CO,000 yen. The war expenses from the commencement of hostilities to the end of March are estimated at 156,000,000 yen. divided as follows: IGS.000,000 yen for the army and 47.000.00 yea for the navy. Of this sum only 50.Cv.000 yen has actually been disbursed, including the payment for the cruisers Nisshln and Kasuga. purchased abroad. The government plans to meet the expenditures to the end of March with 100.000,000 yen from exchequer bonds just sold. 23,OX),OG0 from the special funds and 31,000,000 yen to be raised by a temporary loan. The expenditure on account of war from April next to December, inclusive, is estimated at 380.000.000 yen, besides a special war reserve of 40,000,0 yen. The government plans to meet these expenditures by the issuance of 250,030,010 in exchequer bonds. C8.000.000 yen in war taxes. 7.000,000 balance on ordinary annual receipts and 25,000,000 yen from special funds.
