MAKE PRACTICE ON RUSSIAN BASE JAP TROOPS THREATEN THE RUSSIAN FLANK Vladivostok Reports 2,500 Japanese Advancing Toward Musan. ST. PETERSBURG, March 6. —Ad- vices from Vladivostok say that 2,500 Japanese troops who landed at Plaksin Bay, on the east coast of Northern Korea, are advancing toward Musan, 218 miles from Gensan, with the inten tion of ultimately reaching Hunchun. on the left bank of the Tumen river, about 100 miles west of Vladivostok, and threatening the Russian flank. In order to checkmate this move the Rus sian outpost, 1,500 strong, which re cently crossed the Tumen, is advancing to occupy Koyryong, on the Tumen river, a walled city commanding the trails along which the Japanese must pass. _ The naval mobilization foreshadowed in these dispatches was partially decid ed upon today. Three eastern prov inces of European Russia, Vyatka, Perm and Ufa, are included in the plan, the purpose stated being the strengthening of the crews of the Pa cific squadron. The Novosti prints a significant edi torial article which is very conciliatory toward Great Britain. The paper ar gues that the understanding between the two countries with regard to an Asiatic policy will assure peace in Asia without which the normal development of Russian and British interests there would be impossible. If Great Britain, the Novosti says, would agree to an outlet for Russia to the Indian ocean, Great Britain's possession in India would be unconditionally guaranteed by Russia. The Novoe Vremya also discusses the offers of British friendship, but with bad grace, saying: "John Bull believes he has a better' chance of reaching the winning post with Great Britain and Japan in double harness than with a troika, including the American mustang." Avalanches Block Japs. ST. PETERSBURG, March 6.—Cos- Back scouts report that a Japanese col umn from Plaksin bay, on arriving In the snow-blocked defile of the moun tains separating Korea from Manchu ria, was forced to halt owing to ava lanches and other obstacles. The scouts say that one-third of the strength of this column is invalided. It is now supposed that the column is returning for the purpose of seeking an easier route. Spies Arrested at Kronstadt.

C, March 6.— The danger that Prance will soon be come a participant in the far Eastern war has been brought here to the Washington administration within the last forty-eight hours. Contrary to general expectation and to the former belief of Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, the $40,000,000 payment to the new Panama Canal company of France will be shipped to Paris in the form of gold coin. This is in response to the request made by the canal company. It was formerly believed that the pay ment would be made through the me dium of international exchange, and the decision in favor of actual coin is believed to bear the utmost signifi cance. Several members of the French Canal company are identified with the government of France, and there has been plain intimation that the big pay ment from the United States Is wanted in France in order to assist that na tion in preparing for the contingency of taking up arms on behalf of her ally, Russia, in the war with Japan. The opinion is strong in Washington that another serious Russian reverse in the field would turn the scale in Paris, and that the present cabinet, which is committed to a neutral atti tude, would be overthrown. —Walter E. Clark. Russia Patrols China's Great Wall. LONDON, March 7.—A correspondent of the Times at Pekin has visited the railway outside the great wall and comments' on Russia's refusal to re spect its neutrality as opening the way for Japan to similarly disregard its neutrality. The correspondent says: "Russia is patroling the railway nearly to the great wall with small bodies of cavalry. At every station Ihere are two £ets of guards, one com ppsed of Gen. Yuan Shai Kai's well behaved troops, and the other of un disciplined troops sent by the Tartar general of Mukden. There are twenty of Gen Yuan Shai Kai's men at each station, with a larger body at Sin Mm Tun. With the exception of the rail way guards there are no Chinese for eign-drilled troops outside the wall fri Manchuria province. Russia forbids i. Ny increase in their numbers. "It is believed lhat when the river cpens the Russians will destroy the gunboat Sivoutch at New Chwang to prevent her capture. "All accounts agree that the Rus sians have commandered an immense number of Chinese carts and are con centrating on the Yalu river, where the first battle is expected." THE ST. PAUL GLOBE. MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1904. WOMAN TELLS STORY OF THE BOMBARDMENT Port Arthur Was Deserted When the Jap Guns Began to Play. ST. PETERSBURG, March 6.—The wife of a naval officer gives a graphic account of the bombardment of Port Arthur Feb. 9, and the flight of women and children the next day. She was awakened in the middle of the night by the heavy reports of the guns, and her first thought was that they were due to blasting operations at the dock yard, but when the guns of the fortress be gan to boom she awoke the servants, who were terror-stricken. She then went out on the balcony and saw the searchlights moving wildly. The town was deserted, except in front of the residence of Viceroy Alexieff. The officer's wife, with an infant, took a train from Port Arthur in the morning, and she describes the awful crush at the station and also at Dalny, where she learned "of the fate of the Variag at Chemulpo. Great hardships were suffered by the travelers until they reached Irkutsk, eighteen days later. The trains and stations were crowded, and the woman found it im possible even to lay her baby down on the floor of the car, which was cov ered with baggage. She says that mothers fought for food for their chil dren. Direct through telegraph communi cation is now established between Viceroy Alexieff's headquarters at Mukden and St. Petersburg. This is believed to be the longest circuit in the world, being over 6,000 miles\ whereas the direct communication between Lon don and Teheran, a distance of only 5,000 miles, has hitherto been the long est. Prince Louis Napoleon, who has been in command of a grenadier brigade in the Caucasus, has arrived here and the understanding is that he will receive an important command on the frontier. Evacuation of New Chwang Planned. YIN KOW, March 6— The removal of the furniture of the police and mili tary quarters at New Chwang, the withdrawal of unnecessary rolling stock and equipment from the New Chwang railway terminus and the re moval of silver from the bank indi cates an intended evacuation of New Chwang. The bank authorities have arranged to leave French and German agents in charge of their interests. A large force of cavalry is expected to return to New Chwang before the river opens for the purpose of main taining patrols between the main rail was' and the sea and of reconnoitering the coast. Russian private letters disclose the fact that in the recent engagements be tween the Yalu river and Ping Yang the Russians with superior numbers defeated the Japanese but lost heavily. Refugees arriving her say that Port Arthur has not been attacked since Feb. 26, but that stores and ammuni tion are still arriving. Work on the mud dock in which It is expected to repair the battleship Czarevitch has been abandoned for the past three days, the foreign engineer being unable to raise the Retvizan, quitting Port Arthur together with the only other Anglo-Saxon there. That considerable damage within the fortifications caused by the Japanese fire from Ptgeon bay is corroborated and the defenses on that side are be ing strengthened by barbed wire en tanglements and additional artillery. Street traffic in Port Arthur, the refugees say, is largely confined to the ammunition carts. AH the forts have been provided with naval signal officers lor the purpcse of identifying Russian ships and preventing the forts from firing on them when they arrive. The derailment of one car yesterday north of Dalny by an obstacle on the track delayed trains for fifteen, hours and a serious accident was averted only by the low speed at which the train was running. Situation at Ping Yang. LONDON, March 7. — The Daily Mail's Ping Yang correspondent, under date of March 3, describes the great difficulties to be met with on the road from Seoul. He says that recent thaws broke up the roads, which again have become frozen over, while from time to time there are severe snow storms. One pass which the correspondent traversed was covered with sheets of sloping ice. The country as far as Hwangdu is mountainous and impreg nable from the north, but afterward it becomes more open. He said it is pit-, eous to see the terror of the Korean refugees fieelng through the snow with their household goods. Cabling under yesterday's date the same correspondent says that the mis sionaries are averse to leaving Ping Yang and are not likely to accept the offer of United States Minister Allen to allow refugees to go aboard the United States cruiser Cincinnati, as they believe they will be able to escape later should the situation become acute. Russians Fortifying Antung. TOKYO, March 6. —The Russians are briskly fortifying Antung, which it is believed they will make a base for re sistance. Scouts near Anju are being withdrawn toward Kasan. It is denied here that the French government, in behalf of the holders of the concession, has made any objection to Japan completing the Seoul-Wiju railway. ELMIRA THEATER IS DESTROYED BY FIRE Authorities Believe That the Showhouse Was Deliberately Fired. ELMIRA, N. V., March 7.—Fire broke out in a cigar factory under the Lyceum theater at 11:15 o'clock last night and soon the entire block was a mass of flames. It started from a natural gas explosion, it is stated. The Lyceum theater, one of the Reis circuit of houses and owned by Col. D. C. Robinson, was totally destroyed; loss $68,000. The rest of the block was badly burned and the loss will be over $50,000. The Elks' lodge rooms were destroyed. Henry Boulle, a stage manager, was nearly suf focated by the smoke when rescued. The Mamie Fleming repertoire company lost its trunks and scenery. At 1 -o'clock this morning a burning rag was found on the Auditorium stage. This theater is in the Realty; building, next to the Lyceum. It is thought from this that both theaters were deliberate ly set on fire. Turned Off at the Main.

But they had their way, and the $50,000 was di vided into parts and each part wrapped in a sack and tied securely and put into the well. There it. stayed about two years. "When the terrors of war had about subsided, and it was thought safe to raise the treasure, we tried to bring it up by attaching hooks to the sacks and hoisting it to the surface. But that would not work, for the sacks had rot ted and the weight of the coin caused them to break. The water had to be taken out and the loose coins gathered again. The secret regarding where the mon ey was hidden was known to none ex cept the three who placed it in the well —not even by the other directors of the bank. When the well scheme was first broached it was said that the bushwhackers might hear of it being there, and would dip the water out and obtain the booty, but I told them that while a gang was dipping all that water we could get enough men togeth er to make matters uncomfortable for them." FLOODS AGAIN THREATEN THE CITY OF TOLEDO Steady Rain Moves Ice Gorge in River Toward the City, TOLEDO, Ohio, March 6.—This city is in imminent danger tonight. There has been rain during the; entire day and the ice gorges up the river have been gradually moving down toward the city.

RIVERHEAD, L. 1., March 6.—From an occurrence here It would seem as. though Riverhead had a hen that lays hard-boiled eggs. This is a peculiar state of affairs that developed at a lo cal grocery. It seems hard to believe but there is a considerable amount of truth in the statement-^at least there seems to be. A woman who runs a boarding house purchased a dozen eggs at one of the village grocery stores. They were taken home in the bag in which they were placed, and the woman wanted to fry some-for lunch. One was taken from the bag and cracked into a dish.- It was all right. The next one taken from the bag was cracked, but it re fused to "run." Investigation showed that it was hard boiled, and apparently very fresh. The good boarding mistress was completely astounded, and could hard ly believe her eyes. But there was the proof, as plain as plain could be. The egg was passed around for a number of people to look at, and the proof that '.t was boiled was conclusive. It is possible that during the ex cessively cold weather- of the past week some of the farmers in this vicin ity fed hot bran mash with cayenne pepper in it (as many people are in the habit if doing in the winter), to nrake the hens lay better during the cold weather and high prices, and the egg became boiled in this way. No other satisfactory explanation is at hand. At any rate there must be one astounding hen in Riverhead, and if she can be located her fortune is made. KANSAS CITY TRUCK DRIVERS CONFIDENT Strikers Look for Victory Although Em ployers Prepare to Handle Business. KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 6.—There was no important developments in the truck drivers' strike today. Each side is confident of ultimate victory and neither gives evidence of weakening.

They say they have all the men needed to carry on their business. Tomorrow they expect to run 250 wagons or about three-fourths of the number in use before the strike began. DEATHS OF THE DAY.
