Slav Line of Com- munication Is Menaced. e PARIS, March 19.—The Figaro's cor- respondent in Berlin telegraphs that a German officer who has just arrived there from Manchuria says serious operations in the Far East will not be begun before the end of June. The principal obstacle to a Russian victory, according to this officer, is the fact that 40,000 Chinese troops, well trained and with German and Japanese instructors, are menacing Russia's line of com- munication. Russia, of Germany, will protest against this concentration of Chinese troops.

PITTSBURG, March 19.—A reduction of 20 per cent below the wage schedule of 1903-04 is the proposition that will be submitted next week to the tin and| sheet iron workers of the Amalgamated | and Tin| Association of Iron, Steel Workers. The proposition is the out- growth of a joint meeting of the gen- eral executive board of the association and the officials of the American Sheet | and Tin Plate Company in this city. The new scale will be submitted to the tin and sheet lodges early on Tues- day next. The vote on the scale must be in by April 2. If adopted it will be effective from March 21. It will have the recommendation of the Amalga- mated officials. After the meeting to-night President Schaeffer of the Amalgamated Associa- tion made a statement for publication. He sald that the reduction which is proposed is caused by the commercial stringency, and the keen competition which exists In the tin and sheet trade, | and the fact that.there are many idle | mills of this kind with thousands of Amalgamated men out of employment. A direct rephy to the question whether | the reduction would result in idle mills starting up again was insisted upon. He then said that this question had been asked by the Amalgamated of- | ficlals of both the American Company | and the independents, and that the uni- | form reply was that no such assurance | could be given, and that a few weeks | after the scale was actually assured | would be required for the manufac- | turers to secure orders on the new basis. JURY ACQUITS DEWEY AND HIS TWO COWBOYS Verdict Is Returned After the Case Had Been Under Consideration for Twenty-Eight Hours. NORTON, Kans., March 19.— Chauncey Dewey and his two cowboys, Clyde Wilson and William J. McBride, were acquitted to-night of the charge of murdering Burchard Berry by a jury, which had considered the case twenty-eight hours. Chauncey Dewey, a young million- aire ranchman, went to Cheyenne | County, Kans., early in 1900 to man- | age the Dewey ranch. He became in- | volved in trouble with the Berry fam- | ily, who were also prominent cattle- , men. Trivial misunderstandings grew | into serious differences, which - cul- minated in the killing of Burchard Berry in June, 1903, at the home of Al- pheus Berry during a fight in which Dewey and one of his cowboys were pitted against all of the Berrys. Dewey and his cowboys went tos the Berry ranch to get a tank which Dewey had bought at a Sheriff’s sale. When the | Deweys started to take the tank . away the Berry boys rode up and a | battle took place between the two fac- | tions. Burchard Berry, Daniel and | Alpheus Berry were killed. —_—————— | Thompson’s Condition Critical. | WASHINGTON, March 19.—The con- dition of Representative Thompson of | Louisiana, who is suffering from dou- | ble pneumonia, is reported by his phy- ! sicians to-night to be critical.

Japan Faces the Great Problem of the War. Must Force a Pas- sage of the Yalu River. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, WASHINGTON, March 19.—Captain of the United States army says con- cerning the Far East conflict: “Climatic-conditions will hamper and operations for some time. In the mean- time both belligerents will continue to armies in condition and position to as- sume an active role as soon as the sévere weather moderates sufficiently to permit the men to march. “When the Yalu River opens the Rus- sian forces south of it probably will withdraw and Japan will then find her- self face to face with the first great military problem in her land operations —the crossing of the Yalu in the face of an active enemy. In this movement she will doubtless receive the assist- ance of her navy. The Russians re- maining south of the Yalu then would have to fight a battle with the river behind them and that river probably patrolled by the enemy’s warships. “The landing reported to have been effected by the Japanese at Takushan, on the north coast of Korea Bay, if made at all, was probably made in small force and with the object of ereating a diversion. During the war with China the Japanese landed a large | force upon this coast, about fifty miles from Takushan, in the direction of Port Arthur. They met with no opposition. They can scarcely hope to meet with equal good fortune under the present Osler of Baltimore | circumstances. It may safely be as- sumed that the points along this part of the coast where a landing is pos- sible are well occupied by the Rus- sians and * plans for reinforcing any | threatened locality have been carefully arranged. Consequently Japan couid not hope to accomplish anything in that field without a strong force. To attempt to land and maintain such a force in the face of an enemy would indicate- an estimate of that enemy which present circumstances would de- cidedly not warrant. “That Japan is fully alive to the dif- ference in conditions as they exist now and as they were ten years ago Is beyond doubt. The Chinese had no great raflroad to protect and Port Ar- thur did not then possess the impor- tance for them that it does now for Russia. A slower method of penetrat- ing into the enemy’s country will prob- ably commend itself to the-Japanese. “The effect of the fire from the bat- tleships upon the fortifications at Port Arthur has been found quite insignifi- cant when compared with the amount of energw expended against them. Port Arthur being strongly fortified and armed after modern methods, it is safe to say that the damage so far sus- tained has not been considerable. “The problem that confronts Russia in connection with the land operations is to so dispose her troops as to guard her lines of communication against a sudden descent upon the coast and at the same time keep in hand a suffi- cient force to meet any determined ad- vance of the enemy. The line which Rugsla must cover extends from Vladi- vostok to Port Arthur and from Port Arthur to Newchwang.” GIRL, NARRATES PITIEUL STORY { Sixteen-Year-Old Annie Lar- sen Accuses Milton Wald- stein of Infamous Crime OFFICERS ARREST HIM Trial of the Case May Lead Powers Will Hugh J.

Act to Prevent a Masg4cre. PARIS, March 19.—It is the expecta- tion in official quarters that France and the ‘'signatory powers of the Berlin treaty will unite in emphatic repre- sentations to Turkey against carrying out the Sultan’s plans for the suppres- sion and probable extermination of a considerable portion of the Armenians. The Government is in possession of |much information showing the nature {of the troubles and Turkey's intention in dealing with them. This information shows that some reports of the atroc- itles have gone too far, but indicates the necessity of staying Turkey's hand as the malin pro- gramme for the suppression is to com- mence about a month hence. The re- ports received give both sides of the case and show the following general situation: The Sultan’s activity is not directed against the Armenians as a whole, but against those of the Sassun district, who are a‘turbulent mountainous peo- ple. Turkey claims that the Armeniaa mountaineers go across the border into Russia, where they arm and equip themselves and return to commit dep- redations against the Turkish soldiers. Therefore it is the view of the Sultan that stern measures are necessary to repress these agitators. The authorities here are satisfied frcm their own reports that Turkey's fears of the Armenian agitators ara magnified and largely unwarranted. They do not share the belief in many of the recent statements of Turkish atrocities, but the authorities here have good reason to believe that such atroc- itles may begin in the real work of repression. It is expected, therefore, tha®the powers will act through the'r embassies at Constantinople, either jeintly or on common lines, with the view to preventing the execution of any widespread bloodshed or the extermina- tion of the Armenians, Foreign Minister Delcasse will send a yellow book to Parliament next week. This will deal chiefly with the Mace- donian situation, but incidentally with other Turkish issues. +* = al Meeting of Accountants.

She says that Waldstein took her to the office of James Smith, 917 Market street, who asked her if she wanted to travel. Miss Larsen de- clares that she replied in the affirma- tive, supposing that his offer meant a good home in a respectable family.
