CHEAT STORM GATIIE11S &i:d Is Kxpeetecl to Break in Great t Fury Along the Valu lliver. JUiglity Forces Are Assembled and j Bloody Work Is Kxpected t Soon. ' Liondon, March 3. Reports received here from Tokio declare that Japan has granted permission for fifty foreign newspaper correspondents to accompany the Japanese forces. Seventeen of these correspondents are Americans. The date of their departure has not been fixed. A mile and a quarter of the Siberian railroad, according to the Tokio reports, has been destroyed in the Ningiita district, between Vladivostock and Harbin. The Tien Tsin correspondent of the Standard cables that the Russians are fortifying strongly points south of Mukden. Thousands of coolies who are working day and night on the ramparts and entrenchments of Haicheng are compelled to t labor without pay. Heartrending stories are appearing in the English newspapers of the sufferings of refugees from Port Arthur on the train journey to European Russia. Jt is bitteny cold and there is a scarcity of food and water. Several children have been suffocated under the rugs and shawls with which they were covered in attempts to keep them warm. Owing to exposure and exhaustion an epidemic of influenza has broken out among the refugees. War Reports. liondon, March 3. Hardly a word of news from the seat of war, with the exception of the Russian official dispatches, is published here this morning and it now seems clear that the story in the Morning Telegraph two days ago of a bombardment of Port Arthur by the Japanese on Feb. 29 is nothing more than a re-echo of previous atacks. From Yin Kow comes an unconfirmed report that 500 "bandits, armed with modern rifles, have attacked' a Russian post to the west of Haicheng (Haicheng is thirtytwo miles east by nortn of New Chwang.) There was severe fighting and both sides lost heavily. This report is discredited at Yin Kow, but if it is true it indicates that a serious danger is confronting Russia in these well-armed brigand bands. PECULIAR STORY A Frenchman Takes the World Intc His Confidence. Paris, March 3. The London correspondent of the Echo de Paris has telegraphed an interview with a certain person in London who, although his identity is not revealed, is obviously Paul Cambon, French ambassador to Great Britain. According to th? correspondent this person declared that trie beginning of hostilities by Japan came as an absolute surprise to Great Britain which had done its utmost to prevent the war. The spreading of the conflict will be avoided easily, the correspondent's informant continues, if France and Great Britain keep cool, but the greatest vigilance is necessary to frustrate the aims of individuates who are interested in creating a quarrel between the two nations. A power in central Europe, is actually conducting a press campaign in England with the object of creating a conf '.ci. with France, this person declared, t-.nd an emissary of this power hash offered a certain English journalist a series of articles attacking France; and furthermore a representative of a certain Asiatic power is also striving to excite the English press a-rainst France. "In my opinion trio peace of the world dopetul largely upon the maintenance of good relations between France and Cr'-nt Britain," this person concluded, "lei us not allovr 5ntr'rr::er, hoso r.io tives are known, profit by the tact that France is pro-Russian and Great. Britain pro-Japanese to destroy the beneficial work o' recent years." Jim Crow Law. Annapolis. March 3. In the house Of delegates the "Jim Cdow" bill introduced by Delegate Kerbin, which provides that steam railways in the state of Maryland shall furnish seperate cars for colored people except on xpress trains and that all steamboats plying in Maryland waters shall proTide separate compartments, was passed by a strict party vote, all the Democrats voting for it and all the Republicans against it.

Invxestigation Begins at Washington cf Charges Against Utah Man. Washington, March 3. An effort to air the innermost secrets of the Mormon church was manifested in the first day's proceedings before the senate committee on elections and privileges, which is investigating the protests cgainst Reed Smoot retaining his seat as a senator from Utah. President Joseph D. Smith, the highest official of the church, was on the1 stand all day. He was questioned closely in regard to the principles of divine revelations. He said he adhered absolutely to all the teachings of the Church in that regard and. that he himself had been visited with divine inspirations from God directing him as 1 to details in matters pertaining to the welfare of the church, though no angels had come to' him as in the case of the revelation tohis uncle, Joseph Smith, the founder of the 'church. He subscribed to the standard of authority for the church in relation to the revelation commanding polygamy as made known to the first president in a visit from "an angel in black." He also said he believed in polygamy. Tne testimony was directed in a slight degree at Senator Smoot and no attempt was made by the defense to curtail the admission of testimony until President Smith was questioned in relation to polygamy co-habitation of certain officials of the church before the manifesto of 1890. The attorneys then objected and much t!me was devoted to the relavancy of such testimony. The committee went into executive session, and after a full discussion determined to allow the utmost latitude to the hearings, which means that court practices will be avoided. The protestants said they regarded this as a victory for them. The committee will hear practically all the prosecution has to offer and determine for itself what is competent testimony. History of Religion. Philadelphia, March 3. Albion W. Small LL D, vice president of the congress of arts and science, of the unversal exposition of St. Louis in 1904 has notified Morris Jistrow, Ph D, professor of Semitic languages at the university of Pennsylvania that an official invitation i3 extended to him to act as chairman of department eight, history of religion.
