St. Petersburg, Feb. 24.—Although the city continues full of rumors that & Dbig battle is proceeding below Mukden the war office does not offer any confirmation-of the reports. Spe- cial dispatches, however, as well as can be judged by the mutilated man- ner in which they were allowed to pass the censors, portend the imminence" of extensive operations. The Japanese are showing activity on both fanks and the railroad has again been dam- aged by a raid of Japanese and Chi- nese bandits. In diplomatic circles a story is afloat to the effect that the opinion expressed by German military au- thorities based on reports from mili- tary experts at the front that the sit- uation is by no means hopeless has greatly influenced the emperor and encouraged him against the idea of concluding peac WITH THE UTMOST ENERGY. Czar Decides to Vigorously Prosecute the war. Berlin, Feb. 24.—The emperor of Russia has elected to continue the gituation being now within the control of the authorities. Those who have advised peace and suggested inquiries for Japan's terms, the French and British governments, are for the pres- ent silent and are likely to remain so that ied to the emperor's decision as understood here are: First—The judgment of the chiefs of the army that Field Marshal Oya: not only cannot defeat General Kuro- patkin but stands in danger of defeat himself. How cowardly, therefore, for R n to ask for mercy, with all the men and money essential to a success- ful war. Second—All the forces of criticism now directed against the government for having fought rather than yield to legitimate interests and for having failed to win victories would be con- tinued with added fury against the sia’s enemy while still capable of win- Ing out of town on a duck hunting trip. The secretary had nothing new to communicate, as such information as he has received failed to indicate that the time had not yet arrived for any change in the attitude of the gov- ernment of the United States towards 4 the belligerents, nor was there evi- ‘| dence that the Buropean governments have been doing more than to take careful soundings 10 test the real sen- Hments of the belligerents wijh the result that they also are satisfied that the opportune moment has nat arrived for the exhibition of pressure in the direction of peace, even in the most friendly and amicable spirit. LEAKAGE OF INFORMATION. Japs Taking Steps to Keep Facts From Enemy. Newchwang, Feb. 24.—Numbers of paroled Russian officers who took part iIn the defemse of Port Arthur, claim- ing that they are on their way to their homes in Siberia, have reached here from Shanghai and go hence to Sin- mintin. From the latter place they journey to Mmkden in carts, traveling et night so as to avoid Chinese ban- dits. 3 Russian agents west of the Liao river keep in touch with certain in- habitants of Newchwang and it is be- lieved that several foreigners who have since removed from here inspired the first Russian raid on Newchwang. The Japanese administration is now exercising a more strict censorship and is taking steps to prevent a re- sons attempting to damage the rail- roads or telegraphs. BRIBERY INVESTIGATION. Several Members of iana House Re- charge by Representative Baker, who declared that ex-Senator O. E. Baker of Marion had sent him an envelope containing a $100 bill, James Hamil- ton, a doorkeeper, testified before the investigating committee of the legisla- ture that he had been handed a num- ber of envelopes by O. A. Baker to be sent to other members. The door- keeper said he gave the envelopes to a page for distribution. He gave the names of a number of members to ‘whom these envelopes were sent. The names are being withheld by the com- mittee. O. A, Baker is alleged to have wished the defeat of an anti-cigarette ACTING GOVERNOR ORDERS VESTIGATION INTO CAUSE 2 OF DISASTER. Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 24—Eighty- three bodies of victims of Monday's explosion have been taken from the Virginia mine. Seven more are in sight and after ‘they are removed active rescue work will cease and the work of pumping the flooded portion of the mine will bé begun, as it has been found, impossible to rescue the bodies of the men in that part of the mine until the water is gotten out. Acting Governor Cunningham has ordered a rigid investigation into the cause of the disaster. MURDER ADDED TO ROBBERY. Minneapolis Coachman Dies of Wounds Received in Holdup. Minneapolis, Feb. 24—The robbery and shooting affray at the residence of Dr. Mueller, Feb. 14, has developed into a murder. 5 Emil Rozgatz, coachman for Dr. Mueller, shot down by three masked thugs, who are still at large, died dur- int the day at the Swedish hospital. At nearly the same hour Don, the faith- ful St. Bernard dog who sprang to the rescue of Mrs. Mueller when she was being chased through the house by one cause of death. Before his death Roggatz was able to give a good de- scviption of his assailants, SLEW THE WHOLE FAMILY. Weber has been convicted of murder in the first”degree for the killing of his mother. The jury was out fifteen hours. Weber, who is only twenty years oid, was tried for tlie murder of his mother, but he is also accused of kill- ing his father, sister and brother and of burniug the family residence. The tragedy occurred Nov. 10, 1904. On that date, soon after Adolph left his home, it was destroyed by fire and tte other four members of the family rished. An examination of the hod- ies showed that mother, father and daughter had been shot, while the LEADER OF POSSE SHOT.

The relations between the leaders In the senate and the housé have be- come considerably strained in conse- quence of the coup brought out by the Democrats with the aid of a few Re- publicans in {he senate in so changing the blll as to provide for statehood for New Mexico. 2 In an effort to bring about an agree- ment between the two houses it is un- derstood that Speaker Cannon sent an ultimatum to the senate managers that in view of the course pursued in the senate of making a party question of the statehood matter it would be impossible to secure agreement on terms other than those of the original Dbill as it rassed the house. PECULIAR DISEASE. < i Gas Generated in the Eody of a Patient Causes Ceath. New York, Tch. 24.—A case of aerogenes encapsulatus, a rare disease believed to be caused by ‘a virulent germ found in the soil, has been di covered at a Lincoln hospital autopsy.

Washington, Feb. 24.—In the senate Mr. Hale, from the committee on na- val affairs, reported the naval appro- priation bill; saying that as soon as the other business of the senate would permit he would ask that it be taken up for consideration.
