GZAR'S FORCES READY FOR BATTLE CONCENTRATION: OF ARMY COM- PLETED, WITH ADVANCE LINES AT SIPINGHAL Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, April +— A renewal of fighting is “expected shortly. The concentration of the Russian army is complete, with its advance lines south of the station of Sipinghai, seventy-four miles north of Tie pass. The Japanese are screening their movements well by means of cavalry and it is difficult to locate the bulk of their army. A heavy movement seems to be in progress on the Russian flanks. The railroad station at Changtufu, forty to fifty miles above Tie pass, is occupied by Japanese artillery, but so far .as as- certainable it does not cover a large body of troops. A two-wheeled cart' of the Russo- $600,000, which was lost during the retreat from MuKden, has been found, but the cash chest of the Ninth regis ment of artillery, which was also lost, is still undiscovered. A movement of Chinese bandits led by Japanese officers through Mongolia in the direction of Tsitsihar, 300 miles west of Harbin, has been reported and pressure is being brought by the Japanese in China for an open alli- ance with Japan. Yuan Shi Kai, gov- ernor of Pechili province, and Gen- eral Ma, commander of the Chinese troops on the frontier, are said to be at the head of this agitation. Gen- eral Linevitch's headquarters are in General Kuropatkin’s old train. S8ERIOUS RIOT * AT WARSAW. Four Jews.

Cleveland Painters and. Paperhangers Out on S#hrike. Cleveland, April 4.—Six hundred union painters and paperhangers struck in tnis eity during the day be< cause their employers refused to ad- | vance their wages from 371% to 40 cents an hour.

DATE OF ISSUANGE FIXED MANDATE IN NORTHERN SECURI- TIES CASE FORTHCOMING ON APRIL 17. ‘Washington, April 4.—In the su- preme court of the United States dur- ing the day the chief j down the opinion of the cou case of Harriman vs. the Northern Securities company, the decision in Which was. announced several weeks ago. The motion for the immediate issuance of the mandate was denied, the date for issuance being' fixed: for April 17. Alter stating the case at length the ~ | chief justice said:- “In the present case r‘omp!am'\n s seek the return of property delivered to the Sccurities company pursuant to an’ executed contract of sale on the ground . of - illegality of that contract, but the record discloses no special considerations of equity, justice or public policy which justify the courts in relaxing the rigor of the rule which bars a recovery. The circuit court decrees and the action of the attorney: general of the United States put at rest any question that the ratable distribution resolved upon was in vio- lation of public policy. Contrary to the Sherman Act. “And it is clear enough that the de- livery (o comiplainant of a majority of the total Northern Pacific stock and a ratable distribution of the remain- ing -assets to the other Securities stockholders would not only be in itself inequitable but would directly contravene the object of the Sherman act and the purposes -of the govern- ment suit. “The Northern Pacific system, taken in connection with the Burlington sys- tem, is competitive with the Union Pacific system and it seems obvious to us, the entire record considered, that .decree ‘sought by complainants would tend to smiother that competi- tion. “While = the superior equities as against 'complainants’ present claim of the many Hholders of Securities shares, who purchased in reliance on the belief that they thereby acquired a ratable interest in all assets of the Securities company are too plain to be ignored. “The illegal contract could not be made.legal by estoppel, but the own- ership ‘of the assets unaffccted by a special interest in complainants could be placed beyond dispute on their part by their conduct in holding the Securities company out to the world as unconditional owner.” GOVERNMENT LOSES CASE.

Carbondale, Ill., April 4—A report from Zeigler, Ill., s4§een miles from here, says twenty miners were killed and eightéen injured by a gas explo- slon in the Joseph Leiter coal mine there. The.entire opening of the mine at the surface is wrecked, Although the explosion isattributed to gas suspicion exists that there may have been another cause. Only non- union men are employed in the mine since the strike for increased wages some months ago, resulting. in' riots and the presence of militia and armed guards. The last of the troops were recently withdrawn, although reports were current that there had been at- tempts to bribe officials to permit out- siders to gain entrance to the .mine, the supposed object being to make the mine unworkable. State Mine In- spector Atkinson reported at his last examination' of .the shaft that 180 men - were employed in two shifts. The explosion is reported to have oc- curred as the two shifts were chang- ing. - INDIANA BANK SUSPENDS. Cashier- Believes Depositors Wiil Be Paid in Full.
