Another duel between the opposing armies In Manchuria may be on the pro gramme for the coming week. The Rus sians, according to the Associated Press Harbin correspondent, aro now strongly fortifying their positions at SIpinghal, against -which the Japanese are reported to be .gathering In force. .The reported Russian . retirement from Siplnghai to Chaoumlaodzl was incorrect, due to a telegraphic error In the con fusion of similar Chinese names.

GATHERING FORCES FOR FIGHT Japanese Army - Massing for" Attack on SIpinghal Lines. SX PETERSBURG. March 30. a A. M.) There has been no fighting of conse Quence lately. Reconnaissances establish the fact that the Japanese are gathering in strong. force 20 miles south of SIpinghal, evidently intending to attack the Russian position at Sinplnghal. The Russians are strongly fortifying there, 'and apparently expect to make a stand. The country is comparatively clear of Japanese. The Japanese are approaching .Klrin, threatening communication in the Ussuri district. The number, of Chincee bandits is. con stantly augmenting. Chinese continue to report that Field Marshal Oyama has Issued proclamations fixing the date for the occupation of Har bin as April 10. but this prediction. If actual, is apparently improbable in fulfill ment. - BILDERLING A BLUNDERER Disregard of Orders Gave Japanese Opening During Retreat. ST. PETERSBURG. March 30. 2:K A. M.) An interesting fact throwing light on the supersession of General Bilderllng from .the command of the Third Man churian army has been brought out by a Russian ' dispatch from Gunrtiu Pass de scribing the "retreat from Mukden. Ac cording to the plan of retreating as out lined, each dhielon of the third army was to retire by the Mandarin road and move to- the eastward of that highway. In stead, it moved, for some reason, along roads to the west of the Mandarin road, leaving a breach between the first and third armies of which the Japanese took advantage. The correspondent eays the wagon trains -werc ordered north three days be fore the evacuation, but their departure was delayed, causing confusion in the withdrawal. Discussing the battle of Sandepu, the corr5KMiderit says he personally saw a map mado from observation 'by a balloon Jwnuary 20,' showing the redoubt at Sande pB. uii which the attack was shattered. b of the .existence of which the attack ing force first learned during the attack "an unimportant detail, but one which cest us 10,000 men and the success of the operation." JSSIAN FLEET GOING EAST. Steamer Sights Whole Swarm of! Ships in Indian Ocean. DURBAN. NataJ. March 29. The British steamer Dart, which arrived here today from Rangoon.

' BUSINESS RUINED BECAUSE OF LOSS OF A BLACK CAT s AN TOY, a Chinese who has a res taurant on Second street and which is patronized almost exclusively by his countrymcq. is about to give up his fight against Ill-luck and close his place of business. For two weeks he hzs been trying to keep his regular customers, but in spite of all his efforts -and of the fact that he has been setting the most elabo rate spread to be found in any of the eating-houses in Chinatown, they have been dropping off one by xne. It is all because of an old, common, every-day cat which has disappeared an completely as though It had been swal lowed -up in the earth. To make it an the worse, the cat was black without a single white spot on It. Because 'of the disappearance or the black' cat. the Chi nese believe that HMuck will follow San Toy. It is one of their superstitions. If the cat ha"d been stolen it 'would riot have been so bad, but as San Toy has no proof to offer that his pet or mascot had been stolen, his customers would take no chances and shook hands with him, bldr ding him good-bye. The Chinese say that by constant praying and offerings San Toy may come opt all right, but they doubt-It They also say that If the cat I had not been blaek the hoodoo would not be so bad. . ! San Toy. who is one or the well-to-do ' Chinese, tried to hire his friends to aid him in the search for the missing cat but they refused" their services, believing they might be visited by the evil spirit. San Toy then in desperation applied to the police force for aid, telling them that his business was ruined and that he would have to close up unless his cat was re stored uninjured. San Toy has even gone so far as to attempt to bribe the police. One day he took Patrolman Price In a dark room and offered him $25 if he wouhf return the missing animal. San Toy was very nervous when he made the offer, as It Is said that the spirits weuld be very angry if they knew San Toy was trying to ward them off through the influence of money. If the cat does not return within three weeks there Is no doubt but what San Toy will have to close up his place of business. The Chinese say that if he will sell out entirely and leave town for two months the charm will be brokea. The Chinese are very much disturbed over a rumor to the effect that the cat was stolen so as to make San Toy leave town, as he had cornered all the restaurant business. The Chinese are not Inclined to believe the rumor, however. Bad Bill Collector's Plea. PORTLAND, March 29. (To the Editor.)

Portland and Seattle are yet to be heard from, where subscriptions were to be forwarded through the local banks. It is believed here tnat these subscriptions will not be considered, as the loan has been so heavily over subscribed both In the United States and England. Oregon and Washington will wire their subscriptions in tomorrow, but It Is thought orders will be received to close the books before they come in.

Buchanan or the Oakland club and Friskland Bianken ship of the Seattle club, were properly drafted from the Pacific Coast League by the major league clubs. It seems that the Pacific Coast League and tho major leagues did not have harmonious understanding of the drafting time, which the Pacific Coast League thought was after November. The major leaguo clubs, according to previous agree ment, began to draft players from Sep tembcr 1 to October 15. The National Commission recommends to all parties to the National Commission agreement to meet and amend the draft ing section to' embody the views of the Pacific Coast League.

EVery little while suggestions are wade the press as to street-car ethics, end some of these sufgeMlons ara good. A "Say or two go a visitor to tie city deplored the habit me of the bxdles hare ot waiting until the car bts absolutely topped before they start to the setting-off end ot the car. and thus cetain all the other passengers. This is all wrong, and. while every lady should so coin port herself In public that she "will not fall down, yet n is often seen striving a lltUe too much to maintain a disnlSeu appearance in Portland street-cars. In most street-cars os- the European conti nent where passengers are allowed to KjcavT stss&lng ylacss cn tae treat platfcm. there is .' alga in a conspicuous place read? mg. Don't talk ta the motonnan. I often see on the Portland cars men engaged in close conversation with the motor-man when traversing crowded streets, much to the danger of the general public. This should be pro hibited. Perhaps the rule prevainhg on the cars la St. Paul and Minneapolis should be obsenred, and. no passenger . allowed . on the front platform. In- German rtret-cars there Is a rule that only a given number of men 'are allowed to stand on the platform. In Portland Just as many are allowed there as can hang on. This "Western method Is certainly very Inconvenient for thcja who desire to get on or off the cars. I believe that the present transfer system aenels in -many particulars. It would greatly simplify things it the rules trert less leccucaj. A passenger got on a car at Finn and' Washington the other day, going east, and tried to get a transfer to a Morrison bridge car, but could not. The fact that the car bad Just come along Fifth street from the "north, and had swung around the corner Into Washington did sot appear to the pas senger to be a udclect reason why he should not get a transfer, when. If he had boarded any older Washington-street car the trans fer would have been forthcoming. Another passenger who boarded b. Fifth-street car at the Union Depot, who wanted to go up Mor rison street could not get a transfer 'at Fifth and Morrison, for some technical and unex plained reason. The car conductors In Portland I have found to be accommodaUng and courteous, with rare exceptions. The arbitrary rules that hedge around the subject of transfers, which are especially irritating to newcomers, should be changed. Tours truly, T.
