CHOSES MM QUARTERS Gen. Kuropatkin Will Station His Manchurian Forces I;irst at Liao-Yan. LEADER TRAVELS EAST ST. PETERSBURG, March 17.-Tho first headquarters of the Manchurian army after General Kuropatkin's arrival will be at Llao-Yang. tin- general having selected that point. Instead of Mukden, whence to direct the on rations. Uao-Yi-ng la ten j miles we?t cf the railroad. bein connected with th main road by a special "ne, which will he completed by the time Gen. Kuropatkin arrives, and has many advantages ov.t Mukden, Lein a point whor.ee both the telegraph line and the Peking road go to the Yalu river. " Another road, not marked on tne map, leads almost due east to an extinct volcano. I'alk-tou-san, or Lor.rr White mountain, whose crater is a sacred tike. The road was built by the Chinese, whose emperors formerly went there to shoot timers, with which the region la infested. Two rivers, the Turacn and the Yalu, riae near the mountain. LiaoYang consequently commands both the roads over which troops will be tent according to necessities. Lfao-Yang also has the advantage of being nearer to the frontier of China in the event of punitive measures being required aalnst the Chinese. It is also close to th-? Llao-Tuns peninsula, Nieu-Chwang i . . if'LII. 1... ana me mourn or me Liao-no. nue uie Itursians are mobilizing for the purpose of working out an offensive military problem they will bo prepared to move heavy forces In any direction to meew the Japanese, whose commajid of the sea gives them grfat freedom In selecting their point of attack. General Kuropatkin will live on a train, with his staff, and be prepared to move immediately wherever his presence Is required. If the Japanese land in force on the coast of northern Korea General Kuropatkin will move his headquarters further north along the railroad. If there Is righting along the Yalu, which now seems probable, he will go forward to Feng-IIun-Cheng. Great precautions are being taken to guard against surprises. The Japanese have always shown a preference for night attacks, and most rigorous orders have been issued to keep up a continuous advance of pcoutlng parties, and to havo heavy pickets out at night. General Kuropatkin la now near Omsk, Siberia. He Is making very fast time. averaging over 532 miles per day, everything being sidetracked to get him to Muk- j den on March 26, the only stop, except to i change engines, being occasionally to inspect passing troop trains.

Russian and Japanese Scouts Separated Only by Small River

(CQNCLri)KD FROM FIRST PAGE.) art nv hoMum Anju and the line of the Cheng-Cheng river. The actual land frout points to a further retirement of the Russian forces. Despite thesir command of the sea, the Japanese omit no precaution. It would be unfair to the Japanese to give the number and designation of their forces, but landings were made long enough ago to permit a general reference to them without prejudice to the operations. The weather generali- is Improving." The Mail's Wei-Ha I-Wei correspondent bnrns that Viscount Acke, formerly Japanese minister to Germany, .is going to Seoul to establish practically a Japanese administration fr Korea. Under date- of March 17 the Che-Foo cor-respo-.dent of the Standard reports that provision trains are arriving hourly at Port Arthur, the railroad being intact. The Daily Telegraph's Tokio corrr?siondfiit. cabling March 17. asserts that the Uutd.tn fleet has returned to port Arthur. If this is correct, the correspondent adds, it is evident from Rear Admiral Baron Von Stackelbc rg's report that the Russian cruisers which Dft Vladivostok returned to that port without an attempt having been made to unite the Meets, or if an attempt was made it was unsuccessful. The Che-Foo correspondent of the Paris edition of the New York Herald, cabling under yesterday's date, asserts that a portion of the . Russian lleet made several cruises within a radius of fifty miles of Port Arthur without finding any trace of the enemy. According to a dispatch from Antwerp to the Daily Telegraph. Russia has acquired twenty large Antwerp transport steamers, and has Insured each of them for $2S0ej0. GREAT HAVOC WROUGHT BY JAPANESE SHELLS NEW YOItK, March 17. Three ' Norwegian steamers, the Rr.and, Argo and Seirastad. leased a few days ago by the authorities at Port Arthur, have arrived at Shanghai, according to a World dispatch from that city. During the last bombardment, last Sunday, the Argb lay alongside the battleship Retvizan in the harbor, and one of the Norwegians confirmed previous reports that a Japanese shell fell on the Rctvlzau's deck, where it exploded, killing nineteen officers and men. Scarcely a residence In the new part of the town escaped damage. One shell fell among a crowd of sight-seers who were gazing out to sea at the attacking fleet. The shell killed twenty-five. Three government clerks were killed while hurrying from tho port admiral's office. A cruiser lying at anchor a cable's length from the Retvizan, probably the Diana, was struck on the water line and set on tire. The sailors declare that eighty persons on boarrl perished. , The Norwegians insist that when they left the-Russian fleet hael sailed, with the view of making a dash for Vladivostok. It is possible, however, that the vessels had merely gone on another scouting expedition. The Russian hospital ship Mongolia, which, with a few small vessels, remained in the harbor, was struck by shells, half a dozen men being killed. RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS AT NIE U -CH I VANG NIEU-CHWANG, March 17. The patriarchlal General Lenievitch, who was accompanied by General Kondratouovitch, after a survey yesterday of Nieu-Chwang and its defenses, which had been prepared for his inspection, returned to his command at Liao-Yang. He also visited KaiChou and points affecting the protection of the gulf coast and the holding of the weak zone along the main line of railroad opposite Nieu-Chwang. Although disclaiming any apprehension of the Japanese landing there, the authorities are satisfied to have foreigners understand that the Russians are prepared for any local emergency, and the arrival of an additional battery of artillery and also 150 scouts to-day is significant of comlilg events. It Is apparent that both civil and military strategists and the diplomats at Mukden apprehend a collision with the Chinese, probably fearing that-the increasing number of their small bands of scouts operating between the Liao river and the great wall are the surest instruments for their entanglement in a conlllct, particularly as this zone is in the nature of a no-man's land, on account of having been abandoned by the powers, and also because the Chi nese jurisdiction is incompetent, itussians,. able to judge, profess to regard General Ma's attitude as dangerous to the peace of Russia and China. The foreign managers of the bhan-Hal-Kwan-Nieu-Chwang railway deprecate the baseless reports of sensational correspond ents to the effect that the line between Kuang-Chang-Tu and Nieu-Chwang is about to be abandoned, and also that a train is in readiness to convey the NieuChwng staff to Kuang-Chwang-Tsu. ST. PETERSBURG. March 17. United States Ambassador McCormick has communicated to the government the memorandum containing the assurance received by United States Minister Conger from the Chinese authorities at Peking pledging the neutrality of China while the neutral terri tory is respected by tne belligerents. Satisfaction is expressed here at this new as surance of China's neutrality. The Rus sians deny that they have any Intention of going West of the Liao region. The railroad from Peking west of the river from Nieu-Chwang ami to Sin-Mln-Tin, Russia considers neutral territory and beyond the sphere of operations, unless the Japanese Invade it. RUSSIANS TRYING TO GET CHINESE IN TROUBLE PEKING,- March 17. Russian commissariat officers have applied to the Chinese railway officials at Hlii-Min-Tun for permission to use their name In the transportation of troops and stores. The officials have replied that the matter presents many difficulties, and that they must refer the application to the authorities at Peking. Some questions were also asked regarding the possibility of purchalng fodder and other supplies, also regarding the procurement of carts for transportation purposes, should the railway not be available. NaWOMEN "TOUTS" HAVE ASTONISHED LONDON The City Is Shocked by the Boldness with Which Secret Agents Move in Society. LONDON, March 17. So prevalent has become the custom among women moving in society of Increasing their means for adding to their wanlrobe by "touting1 for trades people that the following advertisement was unblushlngly Inserted in a London newspaper last week: "A lady moving in good society Is required at once, to wear and so make fashionable very beautiful, 'dainty article of jewelry: liberal remuneration. Strict secrecy." It Is well known that It is no uncommon thing for a delicate suggestion to be made at fashionable shops that in return for a tactful recommendation the firm would be only too delighted to supply dresses, hats or shoes, as the case may be. gratis, even paying a commission upon new orders obtained. The automobile boom opened up a fresh field for women touts, and one female expert driver in the social world Is known to have cleared tome hundred pounels as a commission In a very short time. But It would appear this system of female touting is done in Iondon to an almost incredible extent, women acting as secret agents for wine merchants, soap manufacturers and even as touts for money lenders, while there are several socalled "men about town" whose only in com la derived from commissions for ono service or n not her.

tivc agents of th? KuPFo-Chlnese Rank at Mukden have also approached the railroad ofiicials upon tho subject. The magistrates at Chin-e'hou will not allow the natives to fell supplies of any kind to the Russians. The Japanese authorities here state that a land engagement of any magnitude is not likely before another month. A military attache here considers the mechanical mines laid by the Japanese fleet at Port Arthur eflicient to prevent the Russian fleet from leaving that port. BISHOP MOORE SAW THE CHEMULFO FIGHT

NEW YORK, March 17. Letters have been received by the Missionary Society from Rishop David 11. Moore, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who has charge of the work in eastern Asia. The bishop was a passenger from Shanghai to Chemulpo on the steamer Sungai. The latter was sunk by Russian warships the night after she departed from Chemulpo. Bishop Moore says he witnessed the fight which . ended in the destruction of the Variag and Korietz. and with General Allen, was .only a few hundred yards distant when the Korietz was blown up. The bishop was expected to start home for the General Conference, but, as an old soldier, says he does not like to leave the scene, at least not until all the missionaries are out of the danger zone. It is likely a suggestion that he remain in the far Eatt will bo telegraphed at once. JAPANESE NOT USING FORBIDDEN EXPLOSIVES ST. PETERSBURG, March 17. The charges against the Japanese of violating the rules of civilized warfare in. using explosives forbidden by The Hague convention rind no echo In responsible circles here. The Japanese are acquitted on that score by a high naval officer who holds a very responsible position am who said to-day: "The accusation against the Japanese of using explosives to produce poisonous gases Is based on a misconception. They are employing the same explosives as other armies and navies. It is notorious that the bursting of a melinite shell between decks generates fumes from which the men are liable to asphyxiation, but the Russian shell is no better anel no worse than that used by the Japanese. We have not complained In this respect, whatever we may think about the manner in which the Japanese began hostilities." MARQUIS ITO GREETED ON ARRIVAL IN KOREA SEOUL, March 17. Marquis Ito arrived at Chemulpo this morning. He was greeted by a. delegation of high Korean officials. The Japanese minister to Korea and General Ijichl, commander of tho Japanese garrison here, who went to meet him, accompanied him to Seoul. When the special train arrived at Seoul it was received with military honors. A Korean guard of honor saluted and surrounded the handsome green palanquin in which Marquis Ito was carried to the mansion prepared for him by the Emperor. The route was lined by Japanese troops, who saluted the marquis as he passed. Thousands of Koreans also witnessed his arrival. Marquis Ito will be received by the Korean Emperor on Saturday, March 13. AN EASTER EGG FOR EVERY RUSSIAN SAILOR ST. PETERSBURG. March 17.-The wife of Grand Duke Constantine is preparing 17.0uO Easter eggs In order to provide each sailor in the far East with a souvenir. Each egg will contain a portrait of the Emperor, a book, soap and towel, a tobacco pouch, note paper, etc., wrapped in a handkerchief bearing pictures of Teter the Great's boat anel of Russian naval victories. The eggs will be sent to the far E;t next week in order to arrive there In elue season. A bureau will be established here to give Information to relatives of Japanese prisoners and to undertake the delivery of letters and the safe keeping until claimed of effects and letters found on the battlefield or remaining in tho hospitals after the death of prisoners. CRUISER CINCINNATI REPORTS ALL QUIET CHE-FOO, March 17. The United States cruiser Cincinnati, Just arrived from Chemulpo, reports everything quiet, with no news from the front. At the request of Minister Allen the cruiser brought two former Korean officers who had left Korea in coneequence of their friendship for Russia. Viceroy Alexleff in a dispatch confirms previous accounts of damage to Port Arthur by the bombardment of the 10th, but says the story of a great fire at Port Arthur is a base fabrication. A letter from Port Arthur says that the garrison there consists of 2,500 men. Japanese Held at Moscow. MOSCOW, March 17. Twelve Japanese, including five women, arrived here to-day, and were detained by the police as suspects. They claim they had been working in China, but, fearing persecution by their colaborers, they determined to come to Moscow. At Omsk one of their number was arrested and held. Work on u Korean Ilnllwny. . SEOUL,. March 17, 4:30 p. m. Five thousand engineers are now employed in the building of the military, railroad from Seoul to Wlju. Only a few miles have, been com-. pleted. Civilians are working on the road from Seoul to- Fusan. This road cannot be completed before next October. Russia lias Army- of S30.000. PARIS, March 1S.-A St. Petersburg correspondent of the Echo de Paris says General Kuropatkin telegraphs that he has passed Omsk, and he adds that to-morrow there will be W.O0 Russian trcops concentrated between Harbin and Port Arthur. MOVE TO CHANGE OLD METHODIST CUSTOM Private Entertainment of Conference Members Will Be Abolished at Mission Meeting. MEXICO, Mo., March 17. The Missouri branch of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, has taken the initiatory step looking to a complete change of the old tlme-hon ored custom of entertaining the ainual State meetings of this church. Instead of the large number of preachers and dele gates placing themselves on the hospitality of the community in which they meet., as has been the custom slnce'the days of John Wesley, founder of the church, the ddea Is to create a fund, to be raised by all of the individual churches represented in the conference, to defray tho expenses of the ministers and laymen who are members of the annual conferences. A committee has been appointed to devise a practical plan and to report at the coming annual meeting at Columbia. Mo. The committee memberhlp is C. M. Rishop, of St. Joseph, S. P. Cresap. of Columbia. G. M. Gibson, of Richmond. II. J. Casteel, of St. Joseph, J. M. Proctor, of Sturgeon, and II. 1. Woodson, of Richmond. The Rev. John Anderson, of this city, says the plan that will be adopted will be for the delegates and preachers to be guests of tho whole State conference, instead of the individual congregation of the town where the 'conference meets for its deliberations. In other words, every pastoral charge will likely be assessed for the expenses of its delegates and preachers and a certain per cent, for those who hold supernumerary and superannuated relations, who have no charge to call upon for uch expense money, but who are members of the cou-ftTenc.

V:- . EMTEROR OF KOREA. Who Is Regarded by Russij. as Acting under Duress. RUSSIA DOES HOT HOLD ' KOREA AS BELLIGERENT Believes Eastern Government Is Acting Under Duress and Is Not Responsible. NO EFFECT ON ALLIANCE ST. PETERSBURG, March 17. Tho correspondent of the Associated Press is informed that Russia does not regard Korea as belligerent and will not do so until there is evidence that Korea is actively making common cause with Japan. Russia now considers the Korean government as being under duress and that all its acts are void. Although no confirmation is obtainable of the Associated Tress's dispatch from Seoul saying that a Korean official on the Tumen river had received notice that Russia considered Korea as belligerent and would act accordingly, in government circles it ii considered quite possible that the Russian commander along the Korean border may have warned the Koreans that they must not impede the Russian military operations under pain of being considered belligerent. Even should Korea throw in her lot with Japan and join in the hostilities, Russia would not deign to regard such an ally of Japan as a second power within the terms of the Franco-Russian alliance. The military authorities in the far East have reported here that there is absolutely no truth In the story that Russian troops are occupying the American mining concession at Unsan. Korea. They made an investigation at the instigation of the authorities here on account of the reports circulated to that effect. Besides the Russian government has already promised so far as it lies in its power to safeguard American interests should the sphere of operations extend to the American concessions. The Novi Krai, of Port Arthur, dated Feb. 22, reached here to-day. It contains the first consecutive account from a Russian source of the Chemulpo fight, and says the Variag fought till every gun was dismantled. It does not mention tlie Vlcksburg offering succor to the Russians, but the same issue contains Viceroy Alexleff's announcement that for military reasons hef was goinr to Manchuria, leaving General Stoessel In command at Port Arthur and Liao-Tun.r. The Viceroy's farewell order to the gai-ison, confirming the previous reports on the subject, says he was convinced they would fight to the last man and repeat the heroic defense of Sebastopöl. The Chinese legation here has assured tho Associated Press most positively that the government at Peking intends not only to observe the strictest neutrality during the war between Russia and Japan but that the government thoroughly realizes the danger threatening the integrity of tho Celestial Empire In case It should become embroiled in the conflict. EXILE BRAVED WRATH OF RUSSIAN OFFICER Mandelstamm, Who Was Driven from Germany, Is Lauded by. Frau Zetkin. BERLIN, March 17. Mandelstamm, whom Chancellor Von Buelow named In the Reichstag Feb. 2D as one of the leading protestors against the government's attitude toward Russia, is not included in the list of thirty Russian students expelled from Germany. He anticipated such an order by flight to Switzerland. Frau Zetkin, In a recent speech at Breslau, gave the following 'details of his paEt: "Hats off to Mandelstamm, twice deported to Siberia. Once on a long march to the icy plains the convicts, almost without food, owing to the embezzlement of a commissary officer, complained to the commander of the escort, who, lining them up, said: 'Who objects?' One man stepped forward and the officer shot him. Turning pleasantly to the others the commaneler inquired: 'Has any one else a wish?' A second man stepped out of the line, and the commander shot him dead and again asked if any one complained. Maridelstamm said: 'Yes, I do.' The e.fficer, overcome by this fearlessness, listened to the protest and supplied the convicts with food. This was the courage of the despised Russian Jew." NEW FEATURE FOR CALIFORNIA TOURISTS LOS ANGELES, Cal.. March 17. A new feature has Just been started by the Pacific Electric Railway Company in allowing stopover privileges to tourists. A ticket may be purchased at the company's office in Los Angeles which will allow the purchaser tho privilege of stopping at the number of places of Interest alor.g their lines. Another form of tickets will allow the holder to make the trip to Pasadena and return, and Includes a tally-ho ride at Pasadena, and still another ticket allows a stop-over at the ostrich farm. An observation car Avill be run from Los -Angeles to the ostrich farm, allowing thirty minutes at the latter place. LANGUAGE DISPUTE DISRUPTS A CHURCH HAZLETON, Pa., March 17.

The Night of Victory in Tokio i:y FREDERICK PALMER. ilr. Talmcr is Collier's yneclal war correfron'leat in the far I?t. IT! letters are printed in the Indianapolis Journal by courtesy of Collier's Weekly.

TOKIO, Japan. Feb. 10. Yesterday the Japanese lanterns v.cre telescoped; to-night they are alight; to-night Tokio hears only of victory. AH day the men who sell the extras have been . hurrying through the streets, their cries drowning the decorous tinkle of their bells. The bulletins, seldom as long "as a sheet of foolscap, "have been sweetmeats to the public, whose stomach could not have surfeit of such news. This we do know: The cruiser Variag and the gunboat Korietz arc wrecks at Chemulpo, and Admiral Togo has dealt a telling blow at Port Arthur. Much more we hope, wanting to believe every happy rumor that ink makes on paper and sends broadcast with clarion voice price, one sen., The Japanese does not cheer until he has won. The population of the town seems twenty times what jt was the night war begun. Tokio, having something to be proud-of, opens its doors and shows its head. The little Buddhist Images, with far-öff, subtle smiles, wake up and blink. The paper-windowed houses that husbanded doubts and fears, and the tense expectancy of a people who think of their Emperor's fortune before their own, send their occupants forth, if not to merry-making, at least to walk up and down. Streets that were dark last night dance with globes of yellow light to-night. Since noon a mild form of insanity has prevailed. I say a mild form the violent form which other races would have shown may come when we have taken Mukden and Harbin. (Oh. you cold, phlegmatic English! you of the wild orgy of a Mafeking night in London, if ycu would really study self-control, observe another Island people who at this hour think they have won a victory meaning as much to them as Trafalgar to you!) At night the sun had a picturesque substitute. The Japanese lantern does not belong in a land where you read from left to right horizontally, but to a land where you read from right to left perpendicularly. The lantern goes with the people, their i.ouses, their costume and their manners. You must come to Japan to understand the lantern; you must be in Tokio on the night of victory to realize that it is a living thing. The lights began to appear just as official confirmation of the extras swept over the city with Joyous authority. In columns of. twos and threes an illlighted city serving a pictorial end winding in and out through the streets ran the yellow balls of light, clear-cut against the darkness, while under them was the roar of song and cheer. They went to the admiralty, and from the steps of the big building of European architecture, the minister of marine made them a speech. All this was Occidental. The foreigners' interest lay further on when the parade, with its crest of moons, passed across the moat and through the double gates that open at the coiner of the palace inclosure on to the park that faces the gates through which the state carriages pass to the most exclusive of courts. Across the length of the park the lanternbearers formed iu close order. Every face was turned toward the palace. Tho lanterns were raised high as the "Banzais!" rang out, "Dai Nippon banzai! Dai Nippon banzai! Banzai, banzai, banzai!" The dim light showed the students of the naval school in their ncat-tltting Western uniforms they who had missed fighting for their beloved country by being born three or four years too late. The classes ahead of them were keeping watch on decks in the cold Northern seas. The best they could do was to split their throats in the cold. moist night air. At their heels, in the freer garb, eif kimonos, were the students of the university, with their future of developing and civilizing the lands that the navy and army should win. Isn t it pretty near time that the Mikado showed himself?" a foreigner asked. All faces were turned toward, all eyes were looking toward, a wall of darkness. Out of it was visible only .the white sides of one of the buildings in the inclosure. " If this had bee)n St. Petersburg, and the Russians had won, we can imagine how the Czar might have appeared in a doorway for a moment, under a blaze of light. That would be a part of the mise en scene for that laud; a part that would receive the approval of David Uelasco. Japan is dir fereut always different. This is an Em peror whose ancestors have sat oa the throne from time Immemorial. If Palestine were to-day a free Jewish nation, and the Jews an inherently warlike people who had never known conquest, the descendant of Moses, who sat on the throne, would mean to them what their Emperor does to the Japanese. The services and the surroundings of divinity hedge him around The house in which he lives is not in sight of the park. He could not see the dancing lanterns that leaped skyward with the cries of "Banzai!" If he had wished to show himself to the people, there was SOUTHERN HISTORY FOR DIXIE SCHOOLS Atlanta Woman Has Written a Book Which Satisfies the Sentiments in that Section. V ATLANTA. Ga., March 17. The State School Book Commission recently adopted for use In the schools of Georgia a history of the United States, written by a native Georgian and an Atlanta woman, Miss L. A. Field, teacher of the seventh grade, Edgewood-a venue school, and her royalties on fhe history for the next five years will amount to a handsome amount. The book Is known ns "Field's History of the United States" anel has been in use in the Atlanta public schools for several years. It has given satisfaction to both teachers and pupils. , ; The history is bound in Confederate gray cloth and contains 426 pages. While teaching United States history, years ago. Miss Field became convinced that a book was rfeeded which would make the story of the "Lost Cause" more vivid and real than any text-book with which she was acquainted. Books by authors unfriendly to thnft South were being placed in the hands of Southern children, and the youth about whom the South"s hopes for the future clustered were being taught that the Southern men of 1801 were traitors. Kven the books by Southern men were written in language beyond the comprehension of the young learners who were using them. She felt the need of a book that would give the South her place of honor in the revolutionary struggle for freedom and give her credit for her work in the construction of the federal constitution and the organization of this Itepublic, and that would explain the principles of State rights and all for which the South fought in the war between the States. She wanted a book that would preserve the deeds of the men who wore the gray In a way that would Inspire their children with patriotic pride and devotion to the common country. This book has received the Indorsement of the Georgia Division of the Daughters of the Confederacy at their annual meeting, and also of the State Conference of the Daughters of the American Revolution. SCHOOL FOR SERVANTS AID FOR HOUSEWIVES Work Taken Up by Woman's Domestic Guild Bring Results' at New York. NEW YORK, March 17.-The hackneyed phrase about "filling a long felt want" may with perfect accuracy be applied to what la being done by the Woman's Domestic Guild. Its home, at No. 4i East Thirty-fourth street, is the center of a great and rapidly extending work In the interests alike of housewives und domestic servants. The finding of geod servants for good employers is only one of many functions the guild is designed to fulfill. It aims to raise the standarel of domestic "help," to establish better relations between employer and employed and to encourage the latter to permanently attain the situations obtained. In the brlof period since it was founded the guild has loen highly successful, but in the practically unlimited . field of usefulness upon which it had entered It Is destined to carry out a work that must prove; of inestimable value not merely to "help" and household but to the entire community.

no way. The people cheered him as an abstraction: ret a living abstraction to whom they intrust the ciirt-ctiug of their personal affairs. "One of the ccurt officers ml?ht have sent up a recket to let the crowd knowthat the Mikado was aware of its presence?," inid a foreigner, full of suggestions for having thi3 people act in a Western

way. "We were not preparing to fend up rockets. We have been preparfng for war," W38 the answer. On the night that war began, as I told you, the people stayed In their houses, went to bed early, and by 11 o'clock the streets were clear of all except belated ones with definite errands. To-night they acted much as we would have acted then. DEPARTURE OF THE RUSSIAN MINISTER TOKIO, Japan, Feb. 15. The going of Baron De Rosen, the Russian minister, had a pathetic side. He was personally fond of the Japanese. Like the French ambas sador in Berlin, in 1S70, he had been a peace man. Whether or not he, too, had Informed his country of the enemy's preparedness, and been scoffed at for his pains by his overconfident superiors, his tory may yet relate. Weeks ago, when re ports came from Port Arthur that Admiral Mexieff was convinced that there would be no war, people here wonderenl how he could so far misunderstand Japanese diplomacy. Japan began hostilities of her own initiative. She carefully chose the hour of her first offensive blow. She may have expected to catch Russia unawares, but there is no reason why the Russian should have permitted her to. Japan played precisely within the letter of the law. Russia had for years made capital out of promises. Japan made capital out of sudden decisive action. For. mouths before the negotiations had been taken entirely out of De Rosen's hands, life merely was a messenger who carried letters from his government to the Foreign Office, and, saying, "Your Excellency, I have the honor to present" he was gone. Aside from his official worries, he suffered the acutest pain from an ear affection. The legate to a country when war Is declared against his own is usually shelved. De Rosen may get a small post; It is unlikely he will ever get another Important one. With the knowledge that his career was closed, half ill, he had to wait four days in miserable loneliness in that massive brick legation building which is now closed for how long? The news of the destruction of the Variag and the Korleiz at Chemulpo, of the occupation of Seoul, of the vital injuries to two battleships and a cruiser at Port Arthur, coming bit by bit, were brought to him while he was yet in the enemy's land, waiting helplessly cu the date of the departure of the French steamer from Yokohama. While Japan's swift successes fairly electrified the air, his fellow miuistcrs, bound to avoid any reference to the war, had to pay their farewell calls when he knew that the actual sympathies of every foreigner in Japan were against Russia. From the palace where victory reigned came valuable presents in token of a royal adieu, without malice, borne by poütc messengers to the house of defeat. Finally, the day of his going was the Japanese Fourth of July. The train for Yokohama which the baron chose went at 9 the evening before the departure of the steamer. As the carriage passed out of. the legation gates, a faint murmur rose from tho bystanders a murmur of curiosity rather than assault. -The police escort was scarcely needed. Tokio, which has no slums, seems to have no mobs. The crowd which banked the open space the police made at Shlmbashi station was wholly quiets Not alone the legation people were there to bid him once moie bon voyage, but many Japanese officials awaited his arrival in a room upstairs. It was an incident of the bureaucratic system which grinds to the same fineness on all occasions that the ministers had to . buy their platform tickets in due course. From the station itself the crowd was entirely excluded. The train was the regular one going at that hour, and the usual stream of getas went clicking over the concrete to the second and third class compartments Two or three minutes before the gong was sounded, the baron, looking ill and worn, leading, the legation folk and the Japanese officials followed, him to his compartment, where, after the" Russians had entered, the others paused, and then bowed as the train pulled out, with no guard except a fewsoldiers in the compartment ahead of the baron's. A carriage met him at the Yokohama station, and the police saw him aboard the Yarra, which was to bear him to Europe. The next morning a few near friends were on the pier. He smiled as the steamer drew away, taking him out of a land that he liked and that liked him. Copyright. 1IW4. by Collier's Weekly. FUNERAL IN STATE OF A PET CANARY Dog with Black Ribbons Drew the Hearse Twelve Little Girls in Burial Party. PHILADELPHIA, March 17. The Ellen', procession of ten white tracked little girls slowly followed the body of a . canary through the streets of the Falls of Schuylkill this morning to its grave. Dick was a canary bird that belonged to Anne and Grace Eamshaw, ten and six years old, respectively. Dick's songs, filled the air from dawn until dusk. But last week the bird became sick with asthma, and the administration of the daintiest bird seed could not save him. "Dick " died and . his many admiring friends resolved to give him a real funeral. Little Grace Earnshaw draped her doll's coach with white satlu and the bird's body was placed inside. Then a fox terrier was fastened to the coach and had black ribbons for harness. A large bow of the same color was on his neck as a sign of mourning. . Grace and Anne and ten of their friends formed a procession and the terrier was told to "Get ep!" Around two blocks the funeral procession moved, finally returning to the Earnshaw residence. Into a cigar box, which had been tastefully covered and lined with satin, the body of the little pet was laid by the two girls, who also place-d the small coffin in the grave which had been dug underneath a peach tree. As a last mark of. respect to the little chirper, over his grave was placed the following inscription: "In loving memory of Dick, who departed this life March 13, 11." OIL TO BE USED FOR FUEL ON BATTLESHIPS LONDON. March 17. The Express says that the new battleship Hibernia will be specially fitted for' storage of large quantities of oil to be used for fuel, as will also her sister ships, the Britannia and Africa. The Hibernia Is to have the whole of her false bottom space fitted with storage tanks and the suggestion is raised to to whether coal firing will not be altogether abolished In the three latest additions to the King Edward VII cl ass. It is thought, however, that oil fuel will long remain merely a supplementary to coal. The one great obstacle In the way of general use of oil Is its inflammable quality. If the tanks were ever to be pierced by any accident, the nil might gain admittance to the boiler room?, in which case a serious accident, if not total destruction, could not be averted. While the danger will be greatly minimized by distributing the oil in aa many hermetically sealed tanks as possible, it could never be ejuite eliminated, and a bursting shell would cause great havoc.
