LAND OPERATIONS

It Is Believed That a Battle k fc Between Land Forces Is Imminent.

PLAN OF JAP CAMPAIGN

Iain Army to le Landed, at New Chv.ans "Which Is to be TIale lSa.se of Operations.

IS)m ThisPoint the War Will be Fought Out on the Plains of Mancliuria. - . ' London, March 24. The stringent Japanese censorship is likely to be relaxed early in April says the Daily Telegraph's Seoul correspondent. This coincides with the numerous indications of the imminence of land operations. In the meantime the veil has not lifted and not a word has yet issued, either officially from Japan or unofficially from any other source, concerning the last bombardment of Port' Arthur. The Times this morning prominently publishes an opinion of a correspondent that Japan will land her main army at New Chwang, which will be formed into a magnificent base and that s!ie alo probably will seize Hai-Cheng (15 miles east on the railroad) as an additional base, and that, without seriously attacking either Port Arthur or Vladivostok, the war will be fought out on the plains cf central Manchuria. It is almost certain, in the correspondent's opinion, that the war will be a long one and at the worst Japan will retain a way to retreat overland into Korea. If she secures New Chwang, he says, her prestige will be established and, he adds, that the waterways of southern Mancnuria will be of inestimable value in somewhat counterbalancing the weakness of Japan in her cavalry.

An Official Denial. St. Petersburg, March 21. The reports printed in Europe and the United States to the effect that a ptate of siege, such as has been proclaimed in Siberia aD in Saratoft province, southeastern Russia (through which the Siberian railroad runs) will be extended to the whole of European Russia, is officially declared to be absolutely falsa. No such mer-ure has even bfcMi contemplated, it being considered quite unnecessary.

Result Still in the Dark. St. Petersburg, March 241 Two belated press dispatches dated Mukden, March 22, have been received. They refer briefly to the last bombardment of Port Arthur, but shed no fnew light on the result of the combat. The Novosti holds that the failure of this bombardment, despite the different disposition of the enemy's ships from that of the fruitless attack of March 9th, confirms the opinion of the Inability of the Japanese to effectively conduct war.

JAPANESE DIET

Special Session Enters on Business for Which It Was Called. Tokio, March 24. The special session of the diet has entered upon the business for which it was called. Premier Katsura and Minister of Foreign Affairs Komura addressed the house. The premier said the diet had been

summoned at an unparalleled moment In the annals of the country. He counted it a great honor to share with the members of the diet the duty of upholding the noble policy of the eraperoi. The maintainanoe of the permanent peace of the Orient by the confirmation of the position of the emperor and by promoting friendly relations with the great powers respecting the legitimate rights o? the powers, he said, was the established policy of Japan. Continuing he said: "Russia not only tailed to meet the Japanese proposals but definitely resorted to actions calcinated to injure the natural rights of Japan. Japan was compelled, in self-defense, to terminate negotiations and take independent action." He was confident the world would recognize the justice and patience uniformly exercised by Japan in carrying forward the negotiations. He was anxiously desirous for peace, mindful of the woeful consequences which war brings to mankind. Minister of Foreign Affairs Komura placed before the house the full text of the diplomatic correspondence with Russia, commencing with the opening of negotiations in July last, and ending with instructions to Minister Kurino to withdraw from St. Petersburg. The substance of the correspondence has already been made public.

Putting Down the Ton Haks. Seoul, March 24. The Ton Haks are giving trouble in the northeastern part of Korea and are making overtures to the Russians. f A detachment of Japanese from Gensan engaged a body of Ton Haks near Samung with the result that 24 of the Ton Haks were killed or wounded and 35 were captured.

RACE WAR IN SIGHT

Three Negroes Killed by Posse and Reprisals Are Feared. Dewitt, Ark., March 24. Three negroes were killed in a battle between blacks and whites at St. Charles, this county. A posse of deputy sheriffs was engaged in a search for two negroes who had seriously wounded two white men in a fist fight at St. Charles and while passing through a section of woodland they were fired at from a thicket by a party of negroes. The whites returned, the fire and instantly killed Garrett Flood, Will Madison and Will Baldwin. The tragedy has greatly aroused the community and further trouble is feared. A posse has left here for St. Charles.

Hubbard's Death Confirmed.

Williamstown, Mass., March 24.

The report of the death of Leonid" s Hubbard, jr., assistant editor of Outing magazine, while on an exploring expedition in Labrador, has been confirmed in a letter received by relatives of A. Dillon Wallace, a former Williamstown man, who is the surviving white man of the party. The letter was written by Wallace at Northwest river in December, nearly two months after the death of Hubbard, and it tells of his death and of the narrow escape of Wallace.

PROCEEDING LEISURELY House Making Slew Prcgre3s With the Pcstcffics Bill. Washington, March 24. When the

house adjourned last evening some

progress had been made in the reading

of the postcfflce appropriation bill for

amendment but only six pages were disposed of. The appropriation for

the railway mail service was carefully

scrutinized, and in the cise of inland mail transportation by star routes the appropriation v.-?s scaled down from ?8,100,000 to $7,850,000. The question as to the length of time a postal car may be used before it becomes unfit for service was settled by the house when an amendment by Mr. Twaney (Minn.) was adopted providing that no part of the appropriation shall be used for the rental of cars which have been in service for more than fifteen years. The senate spent the greater part of the day considering the Indian appropriation bill. Three hours of the time was given to a discussion of a claim of $50,000 for services rendered the Choctaw Indians. It finally was eliminated from the Indian bill. The civil service debate was renewed, and there was considerable discussion of the policy to be pursued in securing employes fcr work on the Panama canal.

District cf Columbia's Expenses. Washington. March 24. The senate committee on appropriations has re

ported the District of Columbia appro

priation bill. It carries $11,303,204, an increase of $1,108,727 over the bill as passed by the house.

Ran Into Open Bridge. Maysville, Ky., March 24. The bodies of two unknown men were found on the Bentonville pike about twelve miles northeast of this city. Near them was found the wreck of an automobile. Heavy rains had washed out the bridge which ' was hid by a sharp turn in the road and they evidently ran into the vacant space. One of the men had a bible in his pocket and letters addressed to Joe Day, Moransburg, Ky. The other had letters addressed to Dr. Gilfillen, New Richmond, O.

1 Helpful Russian Vomen. Vladivostok, March 24. While the situation here remains quiet, it is not expected that Vladivostok will continue to be much longer free from the vigorous operations of the Japanese. In anticipation of the appearance of the enemy and of a possible siege, a ladies' circle has been formed which sits six hours daily at the ministry of marine preparing bandages of linen lor sick soldiers and sailors. Most of the women in Vladivostok belong to this circlo, including the representatives of the aristocracy, who have determined to share the discomforts of the operations with their husbands.

Chinaman Wants to Know. Jacksonville, Fla., March 24 Quong Gong, one of tne Chinamen ordered deported by Commissioner Archibald last week, has sued out a writ of habeas corpus before Judge J. W. Locke, of the United States district court. His attorneys argued for his release on the grounds that the act of congress is unconstitutional as it requires a Chinaman being in the United States to establish proof of citizenship and heretofore is contrary to the fourteenth amendment.

St. Petersburg Is Complacent. ' St. Petersburg, March 24. As no further dispatches, official or otherwise, have arrived here from Port Arthur, the officials have come to the conclusion that the bombardment by the Japanese fleet on the night of March 21 and the morning of March 22 failed to cause any damage considered worthy to be reported to the emperor. In consequence considerable satisfaction at the continued fruitlessness of the Japanese assaults on Port Arthur prevails in high circles.

Demands Were Rejected. Brazil, Ind., March 24. At the joint meeting of the operators and miners of the block coal district, in session here, the miners presented a list of demands embracing their wants for the coining two years. The operators refused to grant the demands. One of them said that all the demands were unreasonable and could not be considered. The miners are still in session. It is believed there will be no trouble, as all demands were unimportant. I . ' Destructive Prairie Fire. Bassett, Neb., March 24. A disastrous prairie fire is raging In Rock county. The fire originated in Loup county and driven by a high wind, burned a strip from five to ten miles wide from the south line of the county to the railroad near Newport, a dis

tance of forty miles. Thousands of

tons of hay, many residences, out

ALL RECORDS BROKEN

Crowded With Murderers.

was sentenced to hang on April 15 for the murder of Mrs. Mary Spilka. Pesant last fall strangled the woman to

death to procure 300 which she pos

sessed. The number of condemned prisoners now in the county jail is seven, a number that has been equaled only ct the time of the anarchist trials. There are twenty-nine men in the jail awaiting trial for murder which is a greater number than has ever been In the jail for this crime, since the foundation of the city.

Samuel A. Groff's Cass. "Washington, March 24. The police trial board has decided to recommend that a fine of $40 a month, pending an appeal of the case in the courts, be imposed on Policeman Samuel A. Groff, who was recently convicted and sentenced for conspiracy to defraud the government in connection with the postal frauds. Since the indictment of Groff last summer he has been under suspension on full pay of $90 a month.

rencv. The condition ot tne banii is

fairly good. Injudicious investment

is given as the cause of the trouble. The other local banks are not affected.

Proposition to Settle Strike. Chicago, March 24. It is probable that the strike of the painters and decorators will come to an end today. The employers have decided to offer to submit the demands of the men for an Increase of wages to arbitration, and it is expected that the men will accept the proposition, and return to work. About 5,000 men are now out, for an Increase of five cents an hour.

dreams of. When the stomach is diseased and the food eaten is not digested ard assimilated, then the strength of the body begins to fail because of lack of nutrition, and the weak body falls an easy victim to the microbes of disease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It restores physical strength in the only possible way, by enabling the assimilation of the nutrition contained in food. I was sick for over three years with a complication of stomach troubles," writes Mr. John H. Castona, residing at 2942 Arch St.. Chicago, Illinois. "Had tried every good phvsican I knew of, as well as many patent medicines, but received only- temporary relief. One day a friend recommended your 'Golden Medical Discovery.' I immediately procured some and began its use. Commenced to gaiu the first week, and after I had taken only one bottle I could eat as well as any fine without experiencing ill effects. I took five bottles, and to-day am happy to announce that I am as well and healthv as anv one could be. I owe it all to Dr. Fierce's Golden Medical Discovery." The sole motive for substitution is to permit the dealer to make the little more profit paid by the sale of less meritorious medicines. He gains. You lose. Therefore accept no substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery." FREE. Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser is sent free on receipt of stamps to pa3 expense of mailing only. Send twenty-one one-cent stamps for the book in paper covers, or thirtyone stamps for the cloth-bound volume. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
