NUW POLICY OF CUIt ICusiaiis to Cct True ISews of the War Sltuatation. Paris, March 14. "It is aimost cer- tain," telegraphs the St Petersburg cor respondent of Gil Bias, "that the Em peror will assume command of the troops in the Far East after the first im portant engagement." Killed In Snowslide. Baker City. Or., March 11 A tele phone message received here today from Cornucopia gives an account of a fatal snowslide which occured on Corn ucopia Mountain about six o'clock last night. The slide came down from above the Queen of the West mine, and car ried away the boarding houses and bunk houses. The dead are: II. W. Howard, A. C.Cox. Injured G. W. Estes, Thomas Smith, T. II. Mills, John Hunt, Frank Larimer and Nels Lund6trom. There were about twenty men em ployed at the mine. Those who escaped injury inimmedi ately went to woik to rescue their com rades and aftei woiking all night ie- coveied the bodies of those killed and rescued the oth rs. All of the surface plant of the mine was carried away except the superin tenueut s ofhce. The slide occured near the place where Superintendent F. C. Dobler, of the Cornucopia mine, was killed last spring by being caught in a slide. The crash came at 5:30, when the miners were coming off shift. It razed the buildups ami bunkhouses and swept the occupants down almost to the bottom of the canyon, hundreds of feet below. The dead and injured were re covered with difficulty from the debris. The mine is located in the Bonanza Ba Bin. The enow in the basin is from ten to one hundred feet deep. The slide started midway between the Queen of the West and the summit, gathering mass and momentum as it thundered down the preciptious escarp ments ot the mountain. With a tremend ous roar the avalanche struck the sur face plant of the mine and in the twink ling of an eye all that was left to mark the spot was a tiny office occupied by Superintendent Bert Smith. Below the mice the mountainside is less Bteep, and the slide partly lost its mo mentum, to which fact is attributed the saving of the lives of 12 of the 14 who made the wild ride on top of the slide. Every winter an avalanche in the Cornucopia country claims victims. The heavy snowfall and steepness of the mountains make the safety of the ruin ers impossible. The Last Chance mine is prepared for such emergencies, hav ing constructed its surface plant so that elides will pass over the sloping roofs of the buildings. All over the Blue Mountains this year elides have occured, with heavy proper ty loss, but yesterday wan the first loss ot life. St. Petersburg, March 13. The con fidence displayed by the Russian people in the reports of the government on the progress of the fighting in the Far East which is one of the most notable fea- tuses in Russia of the war, has thus far been largely due to an entire change of policy inaugaurated sometime ago by he Emperor, with the abolition of the censorship on foriegn newspaper dis patches. This abolition was followed, when the war broke out, by the Emperor's decis ion to make public as iully as possible all reports regarding the war, in the be lief that the loyalty of his subjects would be only strengthened by acquainting them with the truth in victory or de feat. It was an appeal to the sentiment al side of the Russian character, which has been more than justified. Hitherto the government has consid ered it unwise to give the people infor mation freely at critical moments and the result was that the people, being pessimistic, were often inclined to imag ine things to be much worse than they reallv were. The Associated Press is assured by a high authority that all official telegrams always have been given out accurately, n so far as their sense was concerned, and in most cases textually, although occasionally words have been changed where the original words were subject to misconception. For instance, in one case the words "the enemy was at our heels" was altered to read "the enemy was behind us," bst the original langu age should give the ignorant tho im. presnion that the Russians were flying efore the Japanese. Even the habitual critics of the gov- j eminent have been astoniphed at the manner in which the authorities are taking the people into their confidence in the war and this policy in fair deal ing would seem to be uniting the nat ion as never before in her history. General Kuropatkin's open warning to the people in his speech to the mu nicipal conucil, not to expect too much at first, but to exercise patience, is an evidence of the frankness with which the people are being treated. The nt- terances of the General on that occasion were commended warmly by the press as much better than glittering promises which might not be redeemed.

Practically com plete figures show that the issue of the 100,000,000 yen of exchequer war bonds has been subscribed four and one-half times. The subscriptions recorded by the Bank of Japan amount to 450,000 000 yen. This proves the correctness of the preliminary estimate that the gov ernment would be able to raise 500,000 - 000 yen for war purposes from domestic sources. The cabinet and elder statesmen con ferred for four hours today. They dis cussed the financial situation and the war tar measures to be submitted to the special session ot the diet, and de cided to realize 825,000,000 by postpon ing the government undertakings and $35,000,000 by a war tax. It is undesrtood that a plan extending the government tobacco monopoly so as to include manufactured tobacco and the creation of a sail monopoly werP considered. Until recently it was thought im practicable properly to consider and pats monopoly measures at a short ejciai session, and it seemed to be agreed that they should be left lor action by the regular session. Russia's exten sive military programme, however, makes an extension of Japan's finan cial programme imperative, Bo the monopoly measu res possibly may be submitted to the epecial session of the diet. (By Thomas Murray Spencer.) I was not built like other boys, But early felt my growing power, I cared not for their fleeting joys "In childhood's happy hour." I broke the wildest colt of all That pawed in dad's corrall, Nor heeded mother's warning call; The deacon said I'd go to well. You've all been boys, you know. And as I older, wiser grew, I climbed a Concord coach one day, just so ! And drew the lines o'er leaders two. The horses seemed to know 'twas me, "Mysterious Jerry," Mullen's boy ! Old Harum clapped his hands in glee, Of all my rides that was a joy. s'ill am sitiing on the box. My tpams are "fine and dandy!" have no need of any rock While this Bilk lash is handy. Well, years have passed, I feel at home, In icy Klondike or Montana, 3ut give to me the "The Yellowstone" In which to smoke my (El palencia) Havana.
