Look at our statesmen. If Napoleon were alive to-day, he might remark: “Through.the Simp lon tunnel lies Italy!” Wall street has had another slump, but the visible supply of lambs’ wool has not been materially reduced. The report that John L. Sullivan has lost his voice probably originated in the old proverb that “money talks.” Through some strange oversight no college professor has taken a fall out of the wicked bachelors for a whole week. Incidentally, would it not be a good dea for the Philadelphians to put in a few minutes praying for them- selves? According to old records found in senoa, it cost $7,000 to discover Amer- ica And the money was certainly well spent. Flowers will not be allowed in the senate chamber any more, the sena- tors doubtless feeling they are sweet- scented enough as it is.

It contained poison, of course. Dr. Chadwick’s daughter has gone to work as a stenographer, in spite of the fact that there are plenty of man- rs who would have been glad to e her a chance on the stage. The New York man who beat his wife because she suggested that he should go to work had probably been reading Prof. Patten’s argument that all married women should be wage earners, ‘The New York woman who agreed to give $1,000 a volume for the works of the late Charles Dickens must have overlooked the fact that the novelist wrote several of them after he was 40 years old. : The Dowager Empress of China has sent the president a photograph which makes her appear about twenty years younger than she is.

TO GO AFTER VLADIVOSTOK BELIEVED TO BE NEXT OBJEC- TIVE OF THE VICTORIOUS JAPANESE, St. Petersburg, March 29.—The im- pression prevalent in some military circles that the Japanese, having re- moved the possibility of the main army in Manchuria assuming the in- itiative, will now turn their attention to the next objective of the war, Vla- divostok, is strengthened by the Asso- ciated Press dispatch from Gunshu Pass announcing the departure of the Japanese from the immediate front of the Russian army for a distance of thirty-five miles south. It is realized, of course, that this may be merely a blind, to cover flanking operations; but it is not improbable that the Jap- anese, having cleared southern Man- churia of Russian troops and Secured a Position from which expulsion would be a long and difficult process, may be satisfied to hold the Tie Pass line without further extension of communication. While the voice of the emperor’s advisers is for peace, if honorable terms are obtainable, the government as is the part of wisdom, is going for- ward with all provisions for the con- tinuance of the war. Preparations are reported to be making for the mobil- ization of five corps. It has been un- derstood that the guards would be re- tained at St. Petersburg, but some of the officers of this crack organization believe their services have been requi- sitioned and are making preparations to that end. ¥ Revolution Is Growing. The internal situation is causing great anxiety, though it is considered that the “intellectuals” and educated class generally disapprove of the revolutionary spirit which is perme- ating the peasantry and laborers in Poland. The Crimea is boiling with discontent and the strong hand of the military force has been invoked tc crush the incipient revolution at Yalta, near the emperor’s summer residence. The spirit of disorder has spread to Sebastopol. Moderate Liberals in St. Petersburg are becoming alarmed at the situation, reports beimg received that an active revolutionary propaganda is being pushed with vigor in many sections of the empire. Bomb THhrown at Chief of Police. Warsaw, March 28. — A bomb war thrown into the carriage of Baron von Nolken, chief of police of Warsaw at 8 o’clock last night. It was reported that the baron was severely wounded. According to latest information the attack on Baron von Nolgen was the result of an elaborate conspiracy of the Revolutionary party. Shortly be- fore 8 o'clock last night an elegantly dressed man went to the police sta- tion at Praga, a large suburb of War- saw on the Vistula, and threw a bomb into a room of the station where the men assembled before going on duty. Six policemen were wounded and all the furniture as well as one wall was destroyed. The bomb thrower in try- ing to escape met a policeman and shot twicé, wounding the officer in the stomach. The Prisoner Himself Was Wounded and has been placed in the hospital. He is a Jew, but his identity has not yet been discovered. A telephoné message was immediately sent to Bar- on von Molken at the city hall, inform. ing him of the outrage. Baron vou Nolken, accompanied by a police of ficial, immediately took a carriage and started for Praga. When passing the castle where the governor general re- sides, a man standing on the pave- ment, threw a bomb at the carriage. Baron von Nolken, who was sitting on the side nearest the assailant, re- ceived the full charge of the bomb, while his companion escaped unhurt. The coachman was thrown from the box and the carriage was smashed. Baron von Nolken was removed to the city hall and doctors were summaned, who foun he had received Injuries on the Head, neck, arm and leg, which are believed to be serious. Meanwhile the police official accompanying Baron von Nolken saw the bomb thrower fleeing and pursued and caught up with him, ARMENIANS ARE HUNGRY. Mission Agents Say Many of Them Are Dying of Hunger. London, March 29. — Statvation threatens Armenians, according to a cable message from ‘Van ‘received yesterday by the Bible Land or Turk- ish Mission Aid society from the local agents of the society. ‘The message “Suffering from poverty. _ General food supply in many villages nearly was shipped across from America. exhausted. ‘Deaths from hunger be- ginning.” but the criminal proved himself the stronger and tore himself away. According to the theory of the po- lice the revolutionists calculated on Baron von Nolken going to Praga on learning of the explosion of the bomb at the station there, and knew he must pass the castle, that being the only road-by which he could reach the only bridge across the Vistula, The affair caused great excitement. A popular rumor says the revolution- aries adopted this course of informing the police that they have more bumbs besides those discovered in the Pow- onski cemetery Saturday. f Russia Makes Move for Peace. Paris, March 26.—The prospects of peace between Russia and Japan as- sumed a more definite and almost tangible aspect yesterday as the result of the aanouncement of the resump- tion of negotiations for a Russian loan. The postponement of the loan occurred through the stand taken by the financial element against proceed- ing while the uncertainties of war con- tinued, whilst a willingness to resume negotiations was construed as mean- ing that their strong influence finally hag prevailed with the authorities at St. Petersburg. The announcement of the resumption of negotiations took definite form in a communication to the syndicate of agents de charge, who form an influential element on the bourse, holding government cre- dentials. Take Steps Toward Peace. Coupled with the announcement of a resumption of the loan negotiations come a strong intimation from official and diplomatic quarters that steps looking toward peace had definitely been taken by Russia. The foreign of- fice declined to confirm a report that France was likely to be the interme- diary; but diplomats, who are actively interested for the first time give credit to the statement that Russia had de- cided to seek peace. It was said in these quarters that Russia would deal directly with Tokio through the French minister, who has charge of Russia’s interests there. However, the reports of France’s active part in the negotiations were said to be not entirely correct, as other powers have contributed Toward a Pacific Solution, y and it is expected they will take part in its realization. It appears that some of the lesser powers, including Sweden, are assisting to that end. May Not Try to Hold Harbin. St. Petersburg, March 25.—The pos- sibility that if the Russian army should be unable to hold the iower line of the Sungari river at Chun- chiatsu, it may be compelled to retreat not only to Harbin, but also further westward along the railroad, abandon- ing to the Japanese Northern Man- churia and the Russian maritime Amur provinces as well, is the start-|- ling news from the front.. The strategic weakness of Gen. Linevitch’s position as he falls back northward is made clear by a Gunshu dispatch ‘to the Associated Press in which it is pointed out that unless Chunchiatsu and the Sungari lines, a scant hundred miles below Harbin, can be held it will be Difficult to Maintain a position farther back before Harbin, where, with the front of the army par- alleling the railway, the practicability of a turning movement to completely sever/communications and isolate the army 6,000 miles from home is too serious for Russian consideration. In view of this possibility the dispatch al- luded to suggests the advisability of immediately providing Vladivostok with war munitions and supplies for a two years’ siege. The correspondent estimates the number of reinforce- ments needed to give Gen. Linevitch the requisite superiority in force at least 200,000. That such a dispatch should have been permitted to pass the censor at the front Is Significant, and if Gen. Linevitch has communi- cated a similar @stimate of the situa- tion direct to St. Petersburg, it may account for his majesty’s increased disposition to listen to peace counsels and open negotiations before the Jap- anese establish themselves on Russian soil. With Manchuria entirely aban- doned to the Japanese and Vladivos- tok as Russia’s solitary sentinel on the Pacific, it is realized that Russia will be practically at Japan’s mercy in the matter of peace terms. It can now be definitely stated that the decision to appoint Grand Duke Nicholas Nich- olaievitch to the supreme command in the Far East was reconsidered, be- cause the outlook at the front does not warrant the risk of compromising the prestige of a member of the imperial family. Military authorities here be- lieve that unless Gen. Linevitch is sure of his ability to hold the lower Sungari line, he Will Risk His Whole Army if he fortifies and concentrates there as if he should be defeated his line of retreat lies to two sides of a triangle, the third side of which is open to ‘the enemy's advance. RRA 000 OOO" REMOVED FROM HIS OFFICE. D. F. Tyler of Ashland County Con- victed of Corrupt Practices. Ashland, Wis., March 29. — D. F. Tyler, chairman of the town of Jacobs was removed from office yesterday by Judge Parish for misconduct in office. Eleven charges were made against Tyler, three of which were proven, namely, accepting interest upon town orders, omitting his personal tax from the tax roll, and allowing Belle Drew to sell liquor without a license. TO END THE WAR OUTLINES CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH SHE WILL NEGOTI- ATE PEACE. THANKS DUE UNITED STATES ACTING WITH FRANCE PEACE IS BROUGHT INTO PRACTI- CAL SHAPE. DELCASSE AS INTERMEDIARY FRENCH FOREIGN MINISTER CON- SENTS TO ACT IN THAT CAPACITY. St. Petersburg, March 29. — Russia has outlined the conditions under which she is prepared to negotiate peace. It was stated last night, with every semblance of authority, that, thanks to the good offices of the United States and France, the question of peace had assumed practical shape. Delcasse as Intermediary. London, March 29. — A telegram from an European capital received in London says: “T have just learned on reliable au- thority that Russia bas asked Deleasse to act as inte: diary and open peace negotiations with Japan. De! has signified his willingness, but considers that Lansdowne’s co-operation is es- sential to success.” Hayashi “Stands Pat.” London, March 29. — “When peace negotiations commence it will be be- tween Russia and Japan direet, and not through any intermediary,” was Minister Hayashi’'s comment to the Associated Press when shown the dis- patch from a Northern European cap- ital stating that M. Delcasse, the French foreign minister, had been asked to act as au intermediary to open peace negotiations. Minister Hayashi said he attached no impor- tance to the statement. but believed that France was g to influence Russia to open nevoliations for peace. Japan !s Ready. “So far as I know,” he added, “no negotiations have been begun; but when Russia is ready to make terms Japan will be happy to consfder them.” Minister Hayashi repeated his pre- vious statements that Japan is not noticing peace rumors, but steadily is preparing to prosecute the war to the bitter end. Fleet Quits Madagascar. Tamative, Madagascar, March 29.— It has been definitely ascertained that the whole Russian second Pacific squadron left the waters of Madagas- car March 16 for an unknown destina- tion, Japs Move Forward. Gunshu Pass, March 29.—-The Jap- anese are again moving forward and the Russian rear guard has fallen hack from its position about thirteen miles north of Sipinghai (seventy-four miles north of Tie Pass) to Chaoumiaodzi, which ig situated forty miles below Gunshu Pass. Practically complete reports show that the Russian army sacrificed gen- eral commissariat stores for an army corps amounting to $500,000, held at Mukden, most of it being set on fire, the boots and uniforms among the stores, of which the whole army was in need, arriving from Europe four days before the Russian retirement from Mukden. Gen. Kuropatkin or- dered the remoyal of the stores, but the order was not executed. An in- i an yill be made to establish the responsibility. 7 “= Communications Cut. London, March 29.—The Times’ St. Petersburg correspondent telegraphs as follows: “The entire absence press telegrams from the front, to- gether with a laconic message from Gen. Linevitch dated Harbin and say- ing ‘no reports from the armies’ evolves fears that communications have been cut and the Japanese have turned the Russian positions.” of private and BIG STORE IS BURNED. Battleford, Minn., Has $30,000 Blaze and Origin Mystifies. Winnipeg, Man., March 29.—Prince Bros.’ large general store at Battle- ford burned yesterday morning. The origin of the fire is a mystery and must have started in the cellar, as the whole place was ablaze when noticed. The loss is about $30,000; partially covered by insurance. A heavy stock had just been placed in the store. Business Section Wiped Out. Marion, Ky., March 29.—The town of Marion had its entire business sec- tion wiped out by fire yesterday. ‘Loss, ‘$200,000. Fatally Scalded by Explosion. Chicago, March 29.—One man Was fatally scalded and _ several ‘others were painfully burned yesterday by the explosion of a boiler at the car shops of the Illinois Central Railway company at Burnsides, a suburb. Big Blaze in Kentucky. Madisonville, Ky., March 29.—Fire’ at Hanson, Ky., early yesterday de- stroyed property valued. at between 000 and $100,000, including resi- ince business houses, churches and HART WINS FIGHT. Awarded Decision Over Johnson at End of Twenty Rounds. San Francisco, March 29.—Marvin Hart was awarded the decision over Jack Johnson in a twenty-round con- test last night that went the limit, but he came far from demonstrating that he is qualified to meet Jim Jeffries. Johnson's much-yaunted cleverness did not count for much. While he was able to hit Hart frequently, his blows did not seem to damage the white man from. Kentucky. The sympathies of the large crowd were openly for Hart, who was the short-ender in the bet- ting, and every lead he made at John- son, whether he landed or not, was greeted with yells of joy. Referee Greggains stated that he gave the de- cision to Hart because all through the fight Hart did all the forcing and lead- ing. According to Greggains, if Hart had not pursued his tactics there would have been no fight, as Johnson merely contented himself with coun- tering. ‘ DESPONDENCY KILLS TWO: Attorney and Traveling Man Commit Suicide in Cleveland Hotel. Cleveland, Ohio, March 29.—Henry L, Woodward, an attorney of New York city, and Charles Brousea, a traveling salesman for the National Supply company of Toledo, committed suicide. in their rooms at the Hollen- den hotel some time during Monday night or yesterday. The bodies of both men were found yesterday afternoon. Further than a statement that the two men were seen together in the hotel lobby, nothing is known of a suicide compact. The coroner’s verdict in each case gives despondency over do- mestic and business troubles as the cause of the suicides. Both men had used a pistol and had sent a bullet into their head in almost the same spot, death in each case being instan- taneous. HERO SAVES MANY LIVES. Engineer Sticks to His Post and Gives Up His Life for Others. Sullivan, I'., March 29.—Engineer Bowe was killed, a fireman, name un- known, was fatally injured, and a score of passengers were badly bruised in a head-on collision yester- day between a south-bound express and north-bound freight on the Chi- cago & Eastern Iinois railroad, ‘The freight was taking a siding for the passenger train and failed to clear in time. But for Engineer Bowe’s bravery the wreck would have cost many lives. He had an opportunity to jump in time, but, bidding the fireman to save himself, clung to the engine until the crash came and was caught under the wreckage. THE MARKETS.

Lance of Grand Forks, while playing around one of the Northern Pacific engines here fell under the wheels ‘and had one leg cut off close to the body and the other mangled. Phys- jeians give no hope for his recovery. Railroad employes had warned him away a short time before the accident. r, Merger Not Planned. ‘Toronto, Ont., March 29.—Investiga- tion does not develop any foundation for the rumor of an amalgamation of the Lake of the Woods and Ogilvie companies. It is denied that any con- solidation is contemplated. Bloodhounds After Convicts.

BURG IS COMPLETELY DE- MOLISHED. SEVEN PERSONS ARE INJURED NEARLY ‘EVERY HOUSE IN THE VILLAGE IS UNROOFED OR DAMAGED. o RELIEF IS RUSHED TO SCENE THAT MANY WERE NOT KILLED BY FLYING DEBRIS I$ RE- MARKABLE, Appleton, Minn., March 29.—A cy- clone struck Louisburg, eight miles southwest of this city, completely demolished the business district, con- sisting of about a dozen _ stores, wrecked three grain elevators and a grain depot, and unroofed or damaged nearly every house in the village. Latest reports say that seven per- sons. were injured, part of them seri- ously. The wind, which had prevailed all day, reached a high velocity toward evening, and at 6:30 o'clock became cyclonic in its force. Beyond the dam- age done at Louisburg, no other storm reports are received from this vicin- ity. From Breckenridge a relief train was dispatched to Louisburg as soon as the news of the storm was received, and from Appleton doctors went on a hand car to give medical assistance. Madison, which is twelve miles youth of the stricken village, also sent aid to the sufferers. The direction of the cyclone, it is reported, was from southeast to north- west, and beside the high wind that prevailed, it gave little warning of its approach. That there were not a number of persons killed by falling walls and flying debris is considered remarkable. Flood Is Feared. Crookston, Minn., March 29. — A heavy driving rain will delay seeding for at least a week. If long continued a flood is feared, as the ditches are clear and the water will rush to the river, where the ice is still solid. Electrical Storm at Fargo. Fargo, N. D., March 29.—Fargo had. its first electrical storm of the season last night, accompanied by a heavy rainfall, which was generally needed in most sections of the state to settle the soil good for seeding. CHARGE BOY WITH SLAYING.
