Reports from Japanese rources tell of awful suffering among the Rus- ‘sian troops intrenched along the Yalu River and the raflroad north of Port Arthur. It {s said that the Russians are dying of starvation, scurvy, small- § pox, frostbites and numerous other unfortunate Infilctions. No one can be faund who has any knowledge of real conditions prevailing in the Rus- ‘sian camps. ry Japanese supporters say that Japan has landed 200,000 troops in Corea -and Manchuria since the declaration of hostilities. With no railroad assist- “ance the task of keeping such an enormous foce in supplies is tremendous. “'There are few roads in northern Corea; the snow 1s deep and the weather is cold. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the Japanese ne making vigor- ous advances and that an engagement cannot be long averted. Jupanese scouts and Spies have informed their officers that the Russtens have mined all the mountain passes through which the Japanese army must pass irom the Yalu into Manchuria.

WASHINGTON, March U.—Postmas- ter-General Payne was hotly assailed in Congress this afternoon during an- other outbreak over the postal scandal report. The blame for the compilation of records that figure in the document was Inid on him, his purpose being. as declared, of putting Congress on the defensive and stifling an investigation of the Post-OMce Department. A demand for « full inquiry of postal affairs was made by some of the mem- bers, while a general protest was made to the various features of the report. “A New Hot-Atr ™ Con«ressman Clayton, of Alabama, ‘was unsparing of hts criticism of Post- master-General Payne, to whom he ro- ferred as ‘that distinguished tmbectle who happened to be Postmaster-Gen- oval of the United States.” ‘The inguiry had been pursued, he ve- hefnently declared, not by virtue of the efforts of Postmaster-General Payne and President Roosevelt, but in re- ‘sponse to « demand of the press.
