REAR GUARD FIGHTING HARD THEY COME IN TRAINLOADS Transcontinental Roads Get Result From Advertising in Tide of Farmers From Eastern and Middle States. CHICAGO, March 18. For the first two weeks after March 1, when the homeseekers rates to California -were put into effect, travel -was light on most of the roads. During the last -week, how ever, the tide has turned, and a rush has set in which promises to tax the equip ment of many of the Western trunk lines. From the Northwest word has been re ceived that a movement has been begun which promises to increase largely the population in North Dakota, Idaho, Mon tana, 'Washington and Oregon. Prospec tive settlers are passing through St. Paul over the Northern Paciflo by traln lnaiH. Thmuffh Chicaco they are pour ing also, seeking homes In the Middle and Southwestern States, via the jsortnwesr ern. Milwaukee & St, Paul. Santa Fe, TTnlnn Tnp!flf nnfl Southern Pacific.

"Western trunk lines for several years have been disseminating information concerning tne lrrigaiea land! fn th "West and from the char acter of the numerous inquiries they are now rficelvlne from Eastern farmers.' it is evident that they are reaping their harvest. Thfi WfiKtfirn trunk lines have made special rates for settlers to the Sound country. Until May 15 westbound car load rates on agricultural implements. farm machinery, seed grain, livestock and other property of settlers for actual use and not for sale, will be half those which prevail usually.

Investigating tie Richmond's Cargo. HONOLULU. 'March IS. The state ment made by the captain of the British steamer Richmond, bound from London to the Orient, which put in here short of coal and which was suspected of carrying -war supplies for the Japanese govern ment, to the effect that his destination was Manila, resulted in an investigation by the Federal authorities yesterday. The vessel left this harbor last night and it Is understood she is bound for some Jap anese port. It is said the Richmond would not have been permitted to leave here for Manila If her cargo consisted of war materials. A dispatch from Honolulu, March 17, said that one of the local papers de clared that the Richmond had a large cargo. Including ammunition and ma chine guns for the Japanese, while an other paper printed a report that the- destination of the vessel was Vladivostok. Japanss Occupy Tie- Pass Heights. "WASHINGTON, March 18. The Japan ese Legation today received the following cablegram from the Foreign Office at Tokio: "On Thursday last our detachment on the right side of the Llao River dispersed eight Russian cavalry squadrons, which had artillery with them, and thus occu pled the heights north of Tie Pass, on the right 6lde of the Llao, and cannonaded, the re tr easting enemy, which consisted of one Infantry division and ten cavalry squad' roas." French Prateo Fallon General. PARIS. March 18. The French or ess this morning devotes eulogistic articles to General Kuropatkin. expressing regret at the Emperor's abrupt recall of the Commander-in-Chief. The Echo do Paris says that Grand Duke Nicholas Nlcho- laievitch has been ordered to start for Manchuria to investigate the situation there, and that his report will result in a decision as .to the continuation of the war or peace. important factor In support of Japan claim for a money indemnity." WRECK RAILROAD AS THEY GO Russians Fight Continuous Battle With Their Pursuers. ST. PETERSBURG, March 18. (2:10 P. M.) Telegraphic communication with the retreating Russian army has been cut for over 24 hours, but the authorities hope it is only temporary, declaring that they have no Information that the Japanese have reached the railroad in General Llnlevitch's rear. Nevertheless, with the curtain down. the War Office officially is the prey of dire forebodings. The last word from the front was contained in a telegram from one of the Associated Press Russian correspondents, the only correspondent with the retreating army. It presaged an attack from the rear. The telegram, although dated Changtufu (40 miles north of Tie Pass) at 4 o'clock Thursday after noon, was sent from Kalyuan. 30 miles north of Tie Pass, and only reached St. Petersburg this morning. It was brief, saying simply that the army was retiring In good order and destroying the railroad as it went, but was constantly pressed by the Japanese, the rear-guard action being continuous. There were ominous words in the concluding sentence, as follows: "We believe the Japanese are making a wide turning movement northr and that they are ready to fall upon us when we get out of the ring of the group of mountains which surround the Tie Pass gorge." In the long retreat to Harbin, the Rus sians only have the advantage of the Mandarin road as far as Kalyuan, whence It bears eastward to Klrin, while the rail road continues north of Harbin. Accord ing to the general staff, however, a good wagon road runs parallel to the railroad. But for an army of a quarter of a million men encumbered with impedimenta, with an active enemy relentlessly pursuing and operating on its flanks, and the constant threat of the enemy closing the lino of retreat, it is admitted that the single railroad and wagon road afford poor prps pects of General Linlevltch being able to bring off the remnants of the army confided to his care without a tremendous sacrifice of life. If the Japanese actually succeed In throwing a strong force across the line of retreat, it Is recognized that the army might be forced to capitulate. In the meantime, the mobilization of a new army has already begun in several provinces, although the order has not yet been published. A division of the Imperial guards at EL Petersburg was re-viewed today. The newspapers generally indorse Llnle vitch's selection as temporary commander-in-chief on the ground that Kuropatr kln'e lack of success made his superces aion imperative. At the same time It is recognized that Kuropatkln's failure also rests on other shoulders, and pity Is ex pressed at his sad fate. Three Divisions In Fan River Battle TOKIO, March 18. A dispatch from the headquarters of the Japanese armies In the field, dated yesterday, sass: "According to statements made by prisoners, the force of the enemy resist ing us south of Tie Pass, "Wednesday, March 15, consisted of three divisions. General Kuropatkin personally com' manded during the battle In the neigh' borhood of Tie Pass. Tuesday, March 14." MUST FIGHT IT TO A FINISH Japanese Warned That Russia Will Not Soon Yield. NEW YORK, 'March 18. The Japanese press considers that Manchuria Is now, Bays a Times dispatch from Tokio, vir tually in a state of Japanese occupation. but the papers dismiss the thought of speedy peace in view of the Russian re luctance to admit defeat, under the cir euros tances. therefore, it is held that It will be essential to prosecute the war vig orously. The Premier. In speaking Friday night. at a dinner of the Bankers' Club, asked his hearers to conceive themselves In the position of Russia, who, although aor- mously superior in resources, population and military renown. Is now confronted with the painful question of suing for peace with a nation hitherto regarded with contempt. It would be unwise, he added, to anticipate such a concession. The Japanese, he added, must be prepared to continue the war to the bitter end. I COMMAND IS THANSFERREU. Kuropatkin and Linlevltch Announce Change Is Made. ST. PETERSBURG March 18. A tele gram from General Kuropatkin to Em peror Nicholas, dated March 17. says: "In accordance with the order of His Majesty- received March 16. I handed over to General Linlevltch today the command of the land and sea forces operating against tne Japanese." General LlnJevitch. in a telegram to the Emperor under the same date, says: 'in pursuance of the orders of Your Majesty of March 16, I assumed command today ot all our forces, military and navy, operating against the Japanese."

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most cedent disinfect ant and purl-er in nature, but few realize Its value when taken Into tho hunxjjti system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you tako of It the better; it is not a drug at all. but slniply absorbs the gases and Impurities always present In the stomach and Intestines and carries them, out ot the system. Charcoal sweetens tho breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears andlmproves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic It absorbs the Injurious gases which collect :a the stomach and bowels: It disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
