St. Peterabuig, May 11 Id vlaw cf
the official dispatches regarding the
hostile attitude of the Chinese withlo
and without the Russian lobars of in-
fiuence, the authorities hare do not
ooneeal their apprehension as to the
outlook, especially ia the north of the
empire, for they propose to call the at
tention of the Celestial government to
the Impending uprising In Tapadslaatl,
In order that repressive measures mar
be instantly taken.
It ia known and appreciated here
that all the powers have made strong
representations to Pekln in the Interest
of the preservation of the tranquillity of
the empire, but It is stated that Major
General Pflug'a dispatch of May 14
sbowa the necessity for further Impress
ing the Celestial government with the
advisability of acting with a firm hand.
The authorities here do not forget that
the Boxer revolt which spread from
8hantung would have involved the en
tire empire had it not been foi the firm
ness of the southern viceroys.
The military authorities in 8t.
Petersburg claim to have information
of sensational character to the effect
that the Chinese have tacitly agreed to
co-operate with the Japanese operations
egalnat the Russiana.
The Japanese propose, it Is stated, to
drive General Kuropatkin'a forces into
Mongolia, wnicn would place the Rus
sians in the position of invaders of
neutral territory and enable reprisals
by General Ma's army, which, it is as
serted, is kept in that region for that
special object, thus cleverly avoiding
the slightest Infringement of the neu
trality of China by Japan, and the Chi
nese troops, by not crossing the Man
churian frontier, could not be charged
with a violation of pledgea In respect
10 non inter lerence In military opera
tions In Manchuria.
The opinion of an eminent strategist
given to the Associated Press today Is
tnat the Japanese Intend to attack not
only Llao Yang, but all along the line,
In an effort to drive 'General Knronat
kin into Mongolia, where -tha Chinese
are waiting for him. '
UNIMPORTANT BUT TRU&
Russian QeMral Start Not Alarsaed at
Blockade of Port Arthur.
Paris, May 18. The correspondent
at Bt. Petersburg of the Echo de Paris
says the general staff considers the
blockade of Port Arthur as unimport
ant. The correspondent adds that he
is informed that the railway bas been
destroyed since May 1 Over a distance
of 28 miles.
General Knropatkin, he declares,
seems more confident, though it ap
pears that he still has a serious differ
ence with Vicroy Alzieff, who has com-
plalnd in a telegram to the emperor,
which did not pass through the bands
of thn military censorship, that Knro
patkin does not heed his orders or ad
vice. It is the general desire that
Kuropatkln shall be the sole head of
military operations.
The feeling In St. Petersburg, the
correspondent says, is strong against
Sweden on account of the precautionary
measures taken by that power in min
ing harbors.
It is rumored here that submarine
boats have been bought by Japan to
lay In ambush in the Vladivostok road
stead, which already has been mined
for the passage of Rear Admiral Retset
vensky's squadron. Every precaution
will be taken.
According to an evening paper the
Japanese are using improved torpedoes
invented by a frenchman named Rt-my.
who offered his invention to the Rus
sian embassy when war was threatened,
but met with a refusal, sold it to the
Japanese. "Remy is said now to be in
Japan.
Outrages By Russians.
8eoul, May 18. Reports have been
received here that 450 captured Rus

Japan. The prefect of Tok Chong,
which town is two days' march north
east of Anju, reports that 700 Cossacks
arrived there and commandeered pro
visions, forage and native ponies, and
in several instances seized money. The
Russians at Karchong, committed out
rages upon the women, broke open the
local Jail, freed the pi isoners and killed
the Jailor and village headsman.

here today and after an interview with
viceroy Aiexien, left for Liao Yang in

' It appears that William R JnAann
of the United States engineer corps,
who is an observer with th
army, helped to avert a clash between
parties oi Kussians during the Russian
reoccupation of the railroad after th
Japanese had cut it at Poliade. When
tne Japanese bad temporarily retired
from the railroad, a train with twn
companies of sappers was sent south
irom. uao Yang. Captain Judson was
aboard. When the train reached a
break in the line a body of troops were
seen and they were supposed to be Jap
anese. Sharpshooters were thrown nnt.
and preparations were made to swoop

through his glasses recognized the Rus

Irrigation In Colorado.
WaRhineton. Mav 18 Thn
bureau in a report on irrigation in Col
orado says: notwithstanding the fa
vorable conditions, the construction of
irrigation works in 1902 progressed
rapidly, and the year shows a consider
able increase in the irrigated area. It
is probable, however, that nianv hnn.
dreds of acres reported as irrigated did
not receive sufficient water to produce
full ccops. Colorado still holds first
place among the arid states in the ex
tent of its irrigated acreage and in the
length of its canals and ditches.

LIKELY TO BB OWN SUCCESSOR.
Brady Appears te Have Boat of Rate
for Oororaor of Alaska.
Washington, May 17. Governor
Jobn G. Brady, of Alaska, whose term
spires June 6, will probably be ap
pointed to succeed himself. When ia
Washington recently, he. talked over
the situation with the president and
his prompt departure, coupled with the
remarks be made to several friends,
loads to the conclusion that he is satis
fied he will have another term of office.
Secretary Hitchcock, It If understood,
is not well satiafled with Brady, but aa
the president is personally interested
in the governor and believes him bon-
ml aa well as competent, the secre-
V
tafy will raise no objection. Several
men are in tbe field against Brady, in
cluding National Committeeman John
G. Heid, of Juneau; William T. Perk
ins, auditor of tbe Northwestern Com
mercial company and the company's
age nt at Nome, and Oliver Roberta, of
Sao Francisco. Held is supposed to
have a number of congressional indorse
ments, including Senator Mitchell.
Perkins has the indorsement of several
senators who visited Alaska last sum
mer, and Roberts is backed by mem
bers'of the California delegation.
These men all have applications on

s NOT TIMB FOR PEACB TALK.
OermaBy Thinks the Emperor Mast Re
Establish His Praetlge.
Berlin, May 17. Nothing is known
at the foreign office regarding the report
telegraphed bom Berlin that there ia a
strong probability of peace through the
war party urging the :zar to end the
trouble. It is pointed out in serious
pollical circles, knowing the view of
th foreign office, that the time is not
yet ripe for peace efforts. Tbe German
government is aware that strong cur
rents in France and Great Britain are
working for peace, and that even politi
cal influences in Rusaia are moving in
the same direction. ' It is admitted
here that these efforts would be mater
ially strengthened if the Russians suc
ceeded in checking the Japanese ed
vance at Mukden
However, Russia cannot be satisfied
with a mere negative result of the mili
tary operations. The government of
Emperor Nicholas feels the necessity
f.e-8tabilBhing its prestige, and
only after several deeds! ve victories for
the. Russian arms could the Russian
emperor entertain proposals for media
tion.
INVEST THB CITY.
Daisy Has Fallen late tbe Hands of
the Japanese.
Chicago, May 17. A special to the
Daily News from Chefoo says: When
the Daily News dispatch boat Fawan
arrived off Dalny early this morning a
heavy bombardment was in progress.
Aa the channel waa thickly mined
by the Russians, and Japanese Admiral
Kattakao had issued strict orders that
noncombatanta' boats were to be ex
cluded, it was impossible to get within
the roadstead. Hence an accurate re
port of tbe proceedings is impossible.
As far as it was possible to ascertain
the armored cruiser Yakumo, four other
cruisers, one gunboat and one battle
ship having cleared the channel, en
tered the harbor shortly after daylight
and began a heavy fire. The land bat
teries were silenced.
It is estimated that 20,000 Japanese
troops are investing the town and there
is every teason to believe that they are
now in possession of the city. .
All Won at Vladivostok.
St. Petersburg, May 17. The admi
ralty deniea the rumored engagement
of Rear Admiral Jessen's squadron. A
telegram from Vladivostok this morn
ing reports all well there.
Grand Duke Alexis, the high admi
ral, has been at Cronstadt since yester
day With Vice Admiral Rojestvensky,
the commander of the Baltic fleet, and
Vice Admiral Allevan, the chief of the
admiralty, inspecting the new Pacific
squadron.
The admiralty admits having re
ceived a message from Port Arthur sev
eral days old, in which Rear Admiral
Wittsoeft reported everything was as
well as could be expected. There is no
further information regarding Japanese
activity around Port Arthur.
Deems American Treaty Bad.
New York, May 17. Speaking to the
agrarians in the upper house of the
Prussian diet, Professor Schmoeler has
expressed the wish, rabies the Berlin
correspondent of the Times, that Chan
cellor Van Bulow would dissolve the
commercial treaty with the United
States. He urged consideration of the
matter, but no action until after the
American elections. Professor Schmoe
ler said he was opposed to the disolu
tion oi the Argentine republic treaty,
because that country would be driven
into the arms of the United States.
Arbitration Results la Higher Scale.
New York, May 17. Arbitration has
settled tbe wage scale of 7,000 ur.ion
painters here, and the the agreement
has been signed. It grants an advance
of 60 cents a day, making the scale $4

Berlin, May 16. It is rumored in
diplomatic circles here that there is a
strong possibility of an attempt being
made to end thejwar in the Far East
soon. The ruaior, which is circum
stantial in character, declares the war
party in Russia has urged the czar to
end the war. ,
The alleged basis of settlement ia to
be the independence of Corea under the
protectorate of Japan, while Manchuria
is to remain Chinese territory. . In a
secret treaty between China and Japan,
the integrity of Manchuria was guaran
teed by the latter, so it is argued that
Japan should not object to the propo
sition. Russia, it is said, wishes to
come to an understanding with Japan

GREAT VEIN OP COPPER.
Lockjaw Crack, Montana, May Aetea
lah the World.
Missoula, May 16. Word frcm Lolo
Hot Springa, which haa juet reached
this city, tells of a big strike of copper
ore made by Joseph Eberly and part
ner, prospectors in the employ of ex
Governor McConnell, of Idaho. The
scene of the rich discovery is in tbe
Lockjaw creek section, the men having
been encamped on the Lockjaw stream
for some time.
The account of the find as related by
the men is a wondrous one, the mam
moth copper lead uncovered bidding
fair to make a second Butte in that sec
tion. According to the story of the
prospectors tbe ore found is of a high
grade sulphide character, in appar
ently unlimited quantities and easy of
access. From trenches run along the
surface it is believed tbe Lockjaw coun
try is traversed by a number of cuprous
leads, all of whicn it ia thought carry
enough of the red metal to make its ex
traction profitable.

progress of the Japanese in Southern
Manchuria is reported in the following
dispatch, given out last night: "The
position of the division which is fol
lowing the direct road tcHaicheng has

Waablngtoa, May 14. Tha record
of tbe Washington delegation for tha

Tbe Kussian position at Feng Wang

Judging from their . disheveled ap
