The Japanese Consul at Gensan wires
that 2D1 Russians arrived at Ham

Colonel Mlamoto of the Emperor of
Japan's household la expected to visit
the Japanese army in Korea soon. He
will personally represent the Emperor
and carry to the soldiers inspiring: and
complimentary messages from the Em
peror.
The Tokio Cabinet's present consid

hoped, will shortly result In outlining
plans for future relations with Korea.
SEOUL, Korea, June 3, 5 p. m.— It la
reported that 300 Cossacks are moving
on Plngyans from the "east coast ot
Korea. The nature of the country
through which the Cossacks must pass
practically prohibits travel except by
the regular roads, which at the best
are mere mountain trails.
While there Is no absolute"conflrma
tlon of the report that Japanese Minis
ter Hayashl is 1 1 visit Japan soon, yet
it is believed to be probable, as the
Japanese Government undoubtedly
wishes to consult him. Owing to hia
long diplomatic residence in Korea,
Minister Hayashl Is regarded as a
most competent authority on prevail
ing conditions In Seoul. The Japanese
legation has already submitted to the
home Government suggestions on a
future policy to be pursued by Japan
toward Korea.

Bishop Johnson says the building of
the railroad is assured and a number
of wealthy Mormon bankers of Utah
are .Interested. The project has the
backing of a syndicate of New York
and London capitalists. The southern
terminus of the railroad being at
Ameca Jalisco, It willopen up a ter
ritory hitherto untraversed by any
pack trains. The country Is said to
be marvelously endowed with natural
agricultural and mineral wealth.
From Ameca the road will run to
the northwest to strike the city of
Mazatlanon the Pacific Coast, which
has never had a continental railroad
connection and is accessible only by
sea and overland , stages. Turning to
the northeast, the road will touch the
city of Culican, the capital of Sinaloa.
Going slightlv northeast through, the
States of Sinaloa and Sonora until it
reaches the northern "boundary of Chi
huahua, It will cut across the great
divide and go direct to : Cuidad. Jua

roads which • meet at El Paso.

The Dally Mail's correspondent at
Mukden, telegraphing under date of
June 3. says that fighting occurs dally
beyond Liaoyang. but that a decisive
battle is not expected for some time.
The Japanese plan of campaign is re
garded at Mukden as now having been
definitely disclosed. They occupy tho
Liaotung Peninsula in three divisions
between Nengalen (Nakwanling) and
Wafangtien. with a line of communica
tion by the coast to their position at
Fengwangcheng.
The Standard's Tokio correspondent
mentions the discredited rumor that
General Stoessel proposed a surrender
on the condition that the whole of tha
Port Arthur garrison should be permit
ted to retire to Newchwang under arms.
The Post's Shanghai correspondent
also says that General Mistchenko has
sent 4000 cavalry of the Imperial Guard
from Kuangchengtsu to cut off the
Japanese at Pitzwo. No great reliance,
however, should be placed on these dis
patches, which have evidently some
common Chinese origin.
LONDON, June 4. — A dispatch to the
Daily Express from Tokio says that
Field Marshal Yamagata has been ap
pointed commander in chief of all the
armies in the field. He is expected to
proceed to the LJaotung region shortly.
No further .light has been thrown on
the rumors concerning General Kuro
patkln's Intentions. Dispatches in the
Morning Post from Shanghai and to
the Chronicle from Newchwang repeat
the reports of the movement of 13.000
Russians to Kaiping. The correspond
ents assert that five days' fighting took
place at Wafangtien and ttat the Rus
sians are employing 4000 carts to re
move munitions from Liaoyang to Kal
yuen, seventy mf.es north of Mukden.
KANSAS CITY, June 3.— Nine per
sons are reported to have been killed
and many injured in a collision of pas
senger trains on the Missouri Pacific
Railroad near Martin City, fifteen
miles south of Kansas City. The trains,
which met head on, were the west
bound Colorado limited. No. 1. and the
eastbound accommodation train, No. 36.
A messase received by officials here
ordered them to send a relief train
as soon as possible and to get all the
surgeons obtainable, from which it is
inferred that numerous passengers
were hurt. Newspaper men were not
permitted on the relief train, which left
about 11 o'clock to-night, and details
of the accident will not be learned until
the return of the train with the dead
ar.d injured.
Train No. 1, the Colorado flyer, had
orders to meet train No. 36, the ac
commodation, at Mastin. The crew, it
is believed, overlooked its, orders and
met train No. 36 south of Mastin tank,
about one and a third miles south of
Mastin. The engines were both large
and were demolished. Among the dead
is a tramp who was riding on the
"blind baggage." Baggageman Williams
on train 36 was injured and Engineer
Slocum on No. 1 has a broken leg.
.Fireman Whaley on No. 1 was hurt.
The day coach on the accommoda
tion was telescoped. The chair car was
not damaged, however. The mail car
on the express was telescoped and the
end of the baggage car stove In. At

ing slowly, but unless there is a very
heavy rainfall in the watershed to
night a dangerous water stage will not
be reached.
At Emporia the Cottonwood River
rose three inches an hour all night and
i« now as high as last year, when it
reached the highest water mark ever
known. The Cottonwood is still rising
rapidly. To-day it broke across the
bottomland between the river and Dry
Creek, which Is three miles south of
the river and runs parallel with' the
river several miles.

Koch's new cattle serum consists of
a chemical solution of blood taken
from animals that had the disease. The
inoculations are harmless and eventu

been four.d possible to combat horse
disease by treating healthy animals

died and then administering serum,
whereupon the animals experience a
light attack of sickness, finally becom

For his services Koch received 5150.
