Revised estimates of the Russian losses, from the beginning of the bat- | tle of Mukden to the withdrawal from | Tie Pas ‘luding prisoners, ' lace | them at 175,000. | Prisoners cantured at the battie of | Mukden are beginning to arrive .in | Japan.

L THREE NATIONS DIVIDE LOAN. More Generous Terms Accorded Japan | Than Heretofore, BERLIN, March 21.—The new Japanese foreign loan will be divided mong three nations, the United | States, Germany and Great Britain4 participating. The amount will de- | pend upon how much the bankers | here and elsewhere will guarantee to pose of, but probably it will not be less than $50,000,000, of which Ger- many is likely to take $15,000,000, al- though this is still undetermined. NEW JRK, March 21.—Progress is being made in the negotiations for | a new Japanese loan. Bankers here and in Burope will very likely offer the issue at a price considerably higher { than the flotation of last November, | when the bonds were offered at 88. While the New York bankers inter- | ested would not say just what price | will be made, it was said that a short- term 6 per cent issue would command a price eonsiderably above 90 by reason of Japan's increased prestige and the | popularity of such an -issue with American investors. | G Y RUSSIANS TO MAKE A STAND. | Will Attempt to Hold the Railroad | Below Kirin. TOKIO, March 21.—The fact that no reports of the retreat of the Rus- sian armies or of the Japanese pursuit | were received to-day is strengthening the belief that it is the Russian plan to hold the line from Changkoun to Kirin. The Japanese continue to closely follow Linevitch's rearguard. The | damaged bridges, however, impede the | progress of the pursuers, and the re- | pairing of these bridges may create | sufficient delay to permit the Russians to reconcentrate, reinforce and par- tially reorganize, and enable them to construct works along the Changkoun- Kirin line. 1t is reported that a portion of the | Vladivostok garrison has been with- drawn and hurried to Harbin, but con- | firmation of this report cannot be ob- | tained. i L MACARTHUR AT THE FRONT.

LONDON, March 21.—Russian offi- cial circles in London, although with- out official confirmation, are inclined to credit a Harbin story published in to have been heard yesterday morning about seven miles”south of Tie Pass with General Rennenkampff's divi- sion. A dispatch from Harbin points out that the only explanation of a cannonade in that locality is that Ren- nenkampff has at length arrived at| Tie Pass, where the Russian armies | were ordered to rendezvous in case of i Gt Chinese Confess They Are Spies.

March 21.—| General Linevitch’s headquarters have | the present at! Chenchiawatzu, situated at the cross- ing of the Sungari River, whence he is directing the retreat of three armies and disposing of the fresh troops of the Fourth Corps, just arrived from European Russia. The protection of the Sungari bridge is vital to the sal- vation of the army, as the river is not fordable below Kirin and once the line of the river -is passed and the bridge blown up the Japanese pursuit will be effectively checked. At the same time the Second Army is falling back on the line of the railroad, while the First and Third and transports are retreating along the Mandarin road to Kirin, déstroying bridges and roads and denuding the country behind them and making it impossible for the Japanese to live in the immediate wake of the retreat without their own commis- sariats. The Japanese are advancing on the Grand Trade route, twenty miles west of the railroad. Apparently there is a question as to which army will out- march the other, although the general staff seriously doubts the ability of Field Marshal Qyama’s fatigued sol- diers to continue the pursuit indefi- nitely.

Island of Curacoa, March 21.—The Venezuelan. Govern- ment, it is announced from Caracas, has received a note from the American Minister, Bowen, requesting an answer as to whether Venezuela will arbitrate the questions pending and saying that, in case of a refusal, the United States will feel free to take the step which may be necessary to secure justice. The Charge d’Affaires of The Nether- lands has advised the Venezuelan Government that Holland will use co- ercive’ measures in view of the fact: that she has been unable to secure the release from imprisonment in Vene- | zuela of five Dutch sailors who have been illegally kept in prison for seven months. WASHINGTON, March 21.—In call- ing upon President Castro for an an- swer to his propostion to submit to ar- bitration the issues between the United States and Castro, Minister Bowen is acting in accordance with specific in- | structions from the State Department | { which have recently been placed in his hands. Bowen made a proposition of this kind to the Venezuelan Foreign Office several months ago, and there was an exchange of notes on the sub- Jject, but its further consideration was cut off by the abrupt departure from the capital of President Castro at a moment when his own decision was re- quired. The Venezuelan Government at that stage had made a counter- proposition to Bowen. This was con- strued here as an attempt to bring into play the old Calvo doctrine, which the United States has resolutely and re- peatedly refused to accept in its nego- tiations with the Southern republics. Besides the New York and Bermu- | dez asphalt case there are three other matters which are suggested as prop- arbitration, namely, an asphalt concession); the claim of the Orinoco Steam Navigation Com- pany, based on a violated franchise, and the claim of the newspaper cor- respondent Jaurett for damages aris- ing from his summary expulsion from Venezuela. 1f President Castro rejects this last offer of Bowen to arbitrate these cases it is expected that he will promptly report that fact tq the State Depart- ment and it will be determined what course to pursue. The Minister’s pre- sentment of this matter, therefore, is: t an, actual goqlu?gtum. for the way still open urther negotiations if’ the department decides that the time has not yet arrived to withdraw its Minister and adopt some coercive measures. There is great reluctance on the part of officials to adopt the latter course, but the situation is be- lieved to be such that some action must be taken very soor. PARIS, March 21.-—The Foreign Office says the Frencli Minister at Caracas has not presented an ultima- tum to Venezuela and no French war. ships have been sent to Venezuela.

Y., March 21.— The millions of John D. Rockefeller and his brother, Willlam Rockefeller, failed to count to-day in an effort to carry the village election of North Tarrytown for the people’s ticket, headed by War- ren J. Stoddard, former trustee, for president. The anti-Rockefeller ticket, known as, the Citizens’ ticket, headed by John Wirth, a young butcher, won by a plurality of 148. This result is unprecedented in the history of North Tarrytown, where the Rockefellers own property worth $2,- 000,000. In years gone by the Rocke- feller candidates had things their own way. This year the tables were turned and the Rockefellers failed to corral votes for the good of the People’s party cause. All along Wirth was confident of suc- cess, and his friends made large wagers that he would win. Despite a heavy downpour of rain, the election fight in Nerth Tarrytown brought out the largest vote in the history of the village. In all 933 votes were cast. Wirth received 515, while his opponent got 367. ~ It was openly charged that represen- tatives of the oil king had colonized ne- groes and Italians. About 300 Italians and negroes voted from the Rockefeller domain. Many of the Italians are em- ployed on Rockefeller's place in build- ing roads, beautifying his park and constructing a new reservoir. The Italians and negroes were brought to the polls at North Tarry- town in all kinds of traps. Some of the Italians rode in stages, while others enjoyed their first ride in automobiles. Cigars and light refreshments also were supplied them. ISLAND RISES FROM THE SEA Natural Phenomenon Adds to the Empire Ruled by the Mikado of Japan + Special Dispatch to The Call.

Clowry, president of the Western | Union Telegraph Company and a life- long friend of the late C. M. Steb- bins, whose will is being attacked by heirs, believes the deceased was in- sane. Colonel Clowry’s deposition was | read this morning. Friend, as he was, and full of grati- | tude to the strong old man who gave him his start in life, ke believes that | Stebbins was insane for some time be- fore his death and it was with tears in his eyes that he gave to the lawyers the answers that were read in court this morning. On a cold March day a few years before the Clvil War a little fellow, ragged and torn, applied to Charles M. Stebbins, president of the Western Missouri Telegraph Company, for a job. He got it. The boy was Robert Clowry. His advance was rapid. He held a re- sponsible telegraphic position during the war. Step by step he climbed to his present position and he owes Mis success to Charles M. Stebbins, the man who fell from prominence and dis- tinction and became a suspicious and licentious old man. Colonel Clowry toid of the early bus- iness life of Stebbins; of his great sagacity and ability to make money; of how he invested in many strange ventures, always profitably. Then he told of his sudden start on the road to decline. From a neatly-dressed business man Stebbins became a tramp in appearance and his friends left him in disgust. Clowry’'s story was one of the most pathetic that has come out during the hearing. P —— ACCUSES READER 0F FALSIFYING Dominican Representative in New York Places Pro- moter in a Bad Light L ST Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, March 21.—Official con- firmation is lacking now of the story of Mr. and Mrs. Reader to the effect that a gunboat and the “big stick” kept them from syndicating the island of Santo Domingo. Senor Emilio C. Jou- bert, the highest representative of the Dominican republic here, says that President Morales refused to even see A. B. Reader when he sent in his name and a photograph of Mrs. Reader and craved an ' audience. Mrs. Reader, when she heard what the Senor said, replied: “Of course, he knows nothing about it, for Mr. Joubert was not there at all. I am quite sure he was not.” Senor Joubert, even at the risk of contradicting a woman, insists that he was present when Reader attempted a conference. WASHINGTON, March 21.—The pro- jected reorganization of the force of American customs collectors in Santo Domingo, based upon the expectation that the Senate would approve the pending treaty before adjournment, has been indefinitely postponed and it is impossible that any changes will be made in the near future beyond the relief of Commander Leiper, who is now acting collector at Monte Cristi. Commander Leiver is called upon to g0 north to put his ship out of com- mission at the Boston navy yard. The collection at Monte Cristi and Puerto Plata therefore will be under Abbot's direction for the present. Some apprehension is felt here as to the probable action of those powers that have claims against Santo Dominge and it would not surprise the officials here if some attempt were made to obtain joint action by these powers to seize the customs revenues at some Dominican port. e College President Near Death.

Germ troubles are so unnecessary—so easily i { 1f you are sick with a germ trouble, ‘ please let us show you how easy it is to get well. Let us show you at our expense; let us buy the first bottle for you, 7 This offer itself should convince you that Liquozone does as we claim. We would certainly not buy a bottle and give it to you if there was any doubt of results. You want those results--you want to be well. Then be fair with yourself; let as show you the way. What Liquozone Is. Liquozone is a product now used the world over in the treatment of germ diseases. In millions of homes it has done, and is doing, what medi- cine cannot do. : The virtues of Liquozone are de- rived solely from gas—largely oxygen gas. No drugs, no alcohol—nothing but gas enters into it. The process of making takes fourteen days, and requires immense apparatus. Then we get one cubic inch of Ligtiozone for each 1250 cubic inches of gas used. This process has, for more than twenty years, been the constant sub- _ject of scientific and chemical re- search. " i 7 3 The result is a germicide so certain th&n:'.fie‘i‘mbfi%h on dae:su bo_ttle. h::: of 000 for a. e germ it cannot kill. Yet it is not o:ley harm- | less, but rémarkably helpful. The ef- fects are. 2 izing, puri- are vegetablcs; and Liquozone—like an excess of oxygen—is life to an ani- mal, but deadly to vegetal matter. There lies the great value of Liquo- zone. It is the only way known to kill germs in the botfy without killing the tissues, too. Any drug that kills germs is a poison, and it cannot be taken internally. For that reason, medicine is almost nelpless in any germ disease, while Liquozone is al- | most certain. We proved this fact for | years, through physicians and hospi- tals, in thousands of the most difficult cases obtainable. Then we paid $100.- o000 for the American rights—the highest price ever paid for any dis- covery used in the cure of sickness. i Germ Diseases. These are the known germ diseases. All that medicine can do for these troubles is to help Nature overcome the germs, and such results are indi- rect and uncertain. Liquozone at- tacks the germs, wherever they are. . And when the germs which cause a disease are destroyed, the disease must end, and forever. That is in- | evitable:’ Asthma - Hay Fever—Influenza Abscess—Anaemia Diseases e R Bower Troubies Mainria—Newr Constipation Bheumstism stant benefit.
