METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE 3 WEST 29th STREET, NEW YORK CITY St Petersburg, March 16.—Today’s dispatches from the front show that Oyama is striking another serious blow at the defeated ‘Russian army. The Japanese columns have worked around Tie Pass and desperate fight- iag is occurring eight miles north of the Pass. This move has compelled Kuropatkin to evacuate a strong posi- tion at Tie Pass after burning his stores. The Russians must now cut their way out or be surrounded. RUSSIANS HIDE ARTILLERY. Japs Will Search for Many Missing i Cannon. Newchwang, March 16.—The mili- tary men here advance the theory that j the difference in the number of guns | the Japanese are reported to have cap- | tured and those General Kuropatkin reported to have lost is owing to the ns, when routed, having dropped jeuns into the rivers through the ice and abandoned others in ravines and | gullies. It is expected that as soon as | the present rush at Mukden is over |sea|cu for the lost artillery will be, : rewarded. I AMERICAN STEAMER TAKEN. Japs Capture the Tacoma En Route for Viadivostok.

General Soukhomlinoff will ; be chief of staff, ‘While no further dispatches have been received from the front to show whether the renewal of the fighting Tuesday was continued Wednesday there was a persistent Teport on the bourse that Lieutenant General -Line- vitch has achieved a notable success against General Nogi, cutting off and surrounding two divisions which were marching north to the west of Tie pass with the view to engaging in a new. turning movement.

But Russian Government Firmly In- sists on Continuing War: St. Petersburg, March 16.—The ques- tion of peace still engrosses public at- tention, but the attitude of the gov- ernment apparently remains firm. Minister of Railroads Prince Hilkoff, in an interview, declared he personaily would welcome peace; but it was diffi- cult to see how it was possible. To end the war under the present cir- cumstances, he insisted, would be shameful. A peace which would sur- render Russia’s position in the Far East after the sacrifices of blood and treasure made to attain it and which would involve the complete loss of Russia’s prestige throughout the world wouid be folly, It was batter to go on fighting. The country would never be beaten while an a was in the field and in the test of endurance Russia's resources of men and money must pre- vail. There had been no relaxation in the preparations to prosecute the war. He was now getting ready to go to Siberia, he said, and perSonally super- intend the-improvement and double tracking of the line. The prince ex- pressed the hope that the d er to the army was not as bad as reported abroad. NEW RUSSIAN LOAN. Said It Will Be Arranged Within Ten Days. St. Petersburg, March 16.—At the ministry of finance it was said during the day that the megotjations for a new Russian loan of $125,000,000 in France are expected to he concluded and signed in Paris in ten days. The representatives of the @redit Lyon- naise and Banque de Paris at Des Pays-Bas, who have been here in con- nection with the negotiations, left St Petersburg Tuesday. It is pointed out, however, that this does not mean that the negotiations are broken off, the Isame procedure having heen observed in the case of the $160,000,000 loan last spring when, after negotiations at Bt. Petersburg, the representatives re- turned to Paris, where the contract was signed within a fortnight. Never- theless the Associated Press is in a position to assert that the Paris finan- ciers have been pressing for peace, justifying their attitude on the eround of fhe enormous French commitments in Russian funds and these representa- tions have been remewed since the news of General Kuropatkin’s defeat. Quariers for Russian Prisoners. Tokio, March 16.—The government is assigning quarters to 43,000 Russian prisoners captured in the recent battle of Mukden. These will be distributed throughout twenty garrison towns, the largest number going to Kanasawa, Kumamoto, AKit, Sandai, Fushimi, Kurunie and Fukuoka. Japan Not Asking for Peace. London, March 16.—Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister,"in an interview Auring the day on the subject of peace, sail that all suggestions to the effect that Japan had officially or unofficially put forward feelers looking to the con- clusion of peace were absolutely un- founded. Martial Law Terminated. Rio Jareiro, March 16.—A decree has been issued terminating the state of martial law which was proclaimed in Rio Janeiro and its neighborhood Nov. 16 as a result of the insurrection- ary movement. ‘Vancouver Barracks, Wash., March 16.—Lieutenant Francis Boone, whose conviction by courtmartial was made public Tuesday, made a desperate at- tempt to escape from the barracks during the day and was shot by sen- tries. Two serious, though not neces- sarily fatal, wounds were inflicted. Patterson Trial Begins April 10. New York, March 16.—Nan. Patter- son will be put on trial once more on a charge of murdering Caesar Young, the wealthy bookmaker. This deci- sion was reached during the day and it was announced at the district attor- ney’s ofiice that the second trial of the case would begin April 10. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. Mrs. Mary Mahoney, aged 100, a ploneer of Wisconsin and & resident of La Crosse since territorial days, is dead. Rear Admiral Whiting, U. 8. N, re- ceived a severe injury by a fall while alighting from a moving electric’ car at Honolulu. 5 The Wisconsin assembly has killed the senate bill appropriating $25,000 for an exhibit at the Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland, Ore:.

ON WAR. LIKELY TO HELP BRING ABCUT PEACE MONEY MARKETS OF THE WORLD APPEAR TO BE CLOSED TO CZAR’S AGENTS. Paris, March 16 —The postponement of the Russian loan is definitely con- firmed. This is likely to exert a pow- erful influence towards peace, as it is the first time the French financiers have shown an indisposition to ad vance funds while the uncertainties of war continue. The following details of the postponement are from an au- thoritative source: A committee representing the syn- dicate of French underwriters went to St. Petersburg to arrange the condi- tions with the minister of finance and a contract was drawn up for a $120, 000,000 loan, taking the form of treas- ury bonds running seven years at 5 per ,cent. The contract was then brought back to Paris for the approval of all the underwriters. In the mean- time the disastrous events in Manchu- ria naturally aroused doubts on the part of the financiers as to whether Russia should make peace or pursue the war. The influence of the financial elements was almost unanimous for peace, but Russia’s disinclination to consider peace appears to have in- duced the decision not to proceed with the contract and, accordingly, the signing of which was expected Tues- day, has been postponed and all the pending negotiations are also post poned. According to the Russian view this does not mean that the negotiations Have Been Broken Off, but merely that they-are adjourned, as the Russian authorities say the syn- dicate holds itself bound towards Rus- sla now as before. However, the cir- cumstances of the adjournment tend to show that the syndicate inclines to ‘wait for some definite development of peace before proceeding any further. It is authoritatively denied in the highest Russian quarters that the French government exerted any pres- sure toward preventing the increase of French holdings of Russian secur- ities. Nevertheless, it is probable that some members of the government, act- ing individually, voiced the prevailing view that caution was desirable. It is significant that the postpone- ment of the loan is coincident with a strong movement of the influential French press favorable to peace.. The Matin prominently displays a state- ment believed to peflect the views of financigl circles which declares that if Japan is ready to adopt a generous attitude by waiving an indemnity or | imposing any humiliation upon Rus- i sia then Russia’s policy of war to the bitter end will cease. It is noticeable that some of the Russian officials speak approvingly of the latter prop- ositions. They say peace is impossi- ble if an indemnity or any humiliating conditions are asked, so that the elim- ination of these two points will go far towards favorable consideration of peace. VISITS HER SPLENDID HOME. Mrs. Chadwick Breaks Down in Cleve- land Residence. Cleveland, March 16.—Mrs. Chad- wick, accompanied by two deputy United States marshals, left the coun- ty jail during the day in a closed carriage and was driven fo her old home for a farewell visit. With the -exception 0 $500 worth of personal eftects exempt from the claims of creditors all of the furnishings and other personal property in the house Wwill be sold at public auction by Trus- tee T.ceser next Friday. Mrs. Chad- wick was granted permission by Judge Tayler of the federal court to visit her home to decide upon what prop- | erty she would retain. It was evidently a trying ordeal for the convicted wo- man. lmmediately upon entering the sumptuously furnished residence she broke down and wept bitterly. It was her first visit to the house since last | November, soon’ after which she lett for New York, where, in the following month she was arrested. ‘When Mrs. Chadwick had finally re- gained her composure she bagan a tour of the house, selecting such arti- cles as she desired to keep. Shortly after beginning this task she emncoun- tered Dr. Chadwick. Husband and wife at first merely smiled and nodded and then in a formal way shoolk hands. Only a few words were exchanged be- tween the couple. EPITHETS COST FIVE HUNDRED. Woman Called “Monkey Face” Gets Damages in $25,000 Suit. ‘Chicago, March 16.—Alleging that A. P.

Mrs. John- son testified that Conwisher: t\lrnefl to her, saying: “You are a monkey fac,e, an Irish ‘| John ¥dwards in 1901, she was called a “monkey face” Mrs-| NEW TRIAL( FOR GREASON. Mrs. Edwards to Testify in Favor of Convicted Accomplice. Harrisburg, Pa, March 16.—The Pennsylvania supreme court, having decided to send the case of Samuel Greasou, colored; under sentence of death in Reading for the murder of back to the Berks county court the hoard of par- dons during the day granted a contin- uance in his case and also in that of Mrs. Kate Edwards, white, who is aiso condemned to death for the same crime.” At the February session of the pardon beard the condemned couple were reprieved until ten days .after the present meeling of the board so that the attorneys could again take the case of Greason before the su- preme court. The decision of the board acts as a stay pending the dis- posal of the case by the Berks county court. ‘Greason and Mrs. Edwards had been sentenced to be hanged on Feb. 16, but on Feb. 1§ attorneys for Grea- son appeared before the “joard of par- dons and submitted evidence to the effect that Mrs. Edwards had con- fessed that Greason was innocent of the crime of killing her husband. The board thereupon reprieved Greason so that his case could be further investi- gated and reprieved Mrs. Edwards in order that she might be used as a wit- ness in Greason’s behalf. Nothing has been, done looking toward a new trial for the condemned woman aad after the Greason case is disposed of by the Berks county court her application for a commutation, of /sentence will be acted upon by the boald of pardons. That tribunal twice refused to com- mute her sentence. Both Greason and Mrs. Edwards have listened to ths recading of tho death warrant ten times and both| have been under the eyes of the death watch for two years. BROOKLYN CAB MYSTERY. Woman Found Dead and Man in Un- conscious Condition, New York, March 16.—The body of a woman who had been dead several hours and a man unconscicus and ap- parently dying were found in a cab which ‘was driven up to a Brooklyn Dpolice station on a.gallop early in the day. The man, who was suffering from alcoholism and possibly from the ef- fects of a drug, may recover. Both detained by the police’ pending an in- vestigation of the affair. Although i-the condition of the man was so seri- ous that he could give the police little information which would aid them in’ their investigation he said that his rame was Thomas Deegan and that he lived in Monroe stréet, one of the better class residential sections of Erooklyn. The dead woman, he said, was Miss Mary Savage, thirty years old. Both Deegan and Miss Savage were well dressed. A police surgeon ,after cursory ex- amination of Miss Savage's body de- cided that probably she succumbed to a weak heart superinduced by alcohol- ism. - ROBBERS TORTURE WOMAN. Attempt to Make Her Tell- Where Money Is Hidden. Hankinson, N. D., March 16.—While two desperate men, who had entered the postofiice at Theede, a little place some unine miles east of here. were guarding James Engels, the postmas- ter, who had come upon them una- wares but whom they had easily over- powered, two others seized Mrs. En- gels and by burning the soles of her feet with matches tried to force her to say where their money was concealed. Recently Engels sold some horses and had in his possession some $300. This was evidently known to the bur- glars, whé, after failing to find it, re- sorted to brutality and through cruelty attempted to wring the secret from Mrs. Engels. The woman screamed in agony and the robbers became fright- ened and ran away. They secured $40 from the postoffice funds. CASE OF DOUBLE SUICIDE.

Madison, Wis., March 16.—Disposed to safeguard to the utmost the inter- ests of the Wisconsin policyholders and in o frame of mind mot sympa- thetic with the gigantic expenditures of the old line life insurance compa- nies of the East the state assembly has passed the Metzler bill to compel” all ‘old line stock insurance compa- nies to.mutualize after they secure as- much: as $20,000,000 of insuramce in force. Opponents of the measure de- - clare it is drastic, uncalled for and vio- lent; that it merely will drive some of the best companies out of Wisconsin and will not cause any stock company to mutualize. The bill will in no way affect ex- isting policies, but all new business must be done according to the mutual plan. PLAN TO SEAT PEABODY. JCnloradn Governor Would Then Hand in His Resignation.
