GLN8HU TABS, Manchuria, March 24.
Ths women and children are reported to
be leaving Harbin and the business houses
are closing. The atetlonary hospitals are
lielnir moved back and the entire railroad
east and south of Tsitslhar ia being- pre
pared for the next stage of the war.
The conviction exists that General Kurokl
la now directing his movement toward the
northeast for the Investment of Vladivos
tok, changing hla baa for that purpose
to OesHn. While the Manchurlan railway
Is employed to supply the main army In
Its advance on Harbin, the Japanese aeem
still partial to the plan of keeping close
to their sea bases, and Instead of following
the Russians some of the military experts
are of the opinion that tte npanese may
relieve the pressure upon . General Llne-
vlt'ih and thus Induce him to concentrate
in the region between Santoupu and Tie
i'as for another battle. But throughout
the campaign all the prognostications of
experts regarding the plana of the Japa
nese failed, the aspirations of the Japanese
consistently fattening up on the victories
achieved.
The rank and file of the Russian army
show peculiar adaptability to conform
with the hew conditions and accommodate
themselves to the wishes and Intentions
of the commander-in-chief and the govern
ment.
The Russian retreat has now reached
the village of Slplnghal, seventy-four miles
north of Tie pass, where It has temporarily
halted. The army has been without rest
for months and It Is natural that fatigue
should be evident. The Japanese are said
to be advancing on Slplnghal positions
along the railway and on both flanks.
A brisk action occurred on the evening
of March 18 at Kalyuan, the Russian rear
guard beating off two heavy attacks which
lasted until midnight.
After blowing up railway bridges north
of Koiyuan at Ave places, the Russian re
tirement waa continued on March it, 20
and a, with only light rifle firing.
The Mukden branch of the Russo-Chlnese
brnk removed all Its money except 1150,000.

Russlane Fear a Trap.
4:61 p. m. The news from the front
continues to Indicate preparations for a
'withdrawal of the man portion of the
Russian army beyond Harbin, so as to
t place It out of danger of having It com-
munlcatlons with Russia severed if It is
' found impracticable to attempt to hold the
line at the Sungari river. Tsltslher 800
miles west of Harbin, Is mentioned by
several correspondents In a fashion to sug
gest that it will be the new point of con
centration although others speak of the
Amur river. "
A light flying column of Japanese
cavalry ia reported to be moving hastily
v across the country towards Tsitslhar,
while another column is going northeast
in the direction of Vladivostok.
One corespondent intimates that the
Japaneae may adopt the tactics of reliev
ing the direct pressure on General Line
vltch In the hope of inducing him to con
centrate as far as possible below Harbin,
which would give Field Marshal Oyama
the advantage of preparing his next blow
without greatly lengthening his line of
communication. Llnevltch's decision to be
prepared to place his main army beyond
the reach of a decisive stroke while await
ing reinforcements may have been taken
In order to avoid Just such a trap.
Feaea Goaslp from Parla.
PARIS, March 24. Prospects of peace be
tween Russia and Japan assumed a more
duflnlte and almost a tangible aspect today
as the result of the announcement of the
resumption of negotiations for a Russlaa
loan.
Postponement of the loan occurred
through the .stand taken by the financial
element against proceeding while the un
certainties of war continued, while a will
ingness to resume negotiations was con
strued aa meaning that their strong In
fluence for peace finally had prevailed with
the authorities at St. Petersburg. The an
nouncement of the resumption of negotia
tions took definite form In a communlca
.Hon to the syndicate of agents In charge,
who form an Influential element on the
Bourse holding government credentials. ,
Tha effect of the first announoement was
to stimulate the market and particularly
Russian securities. A reaction occurred on
fears as to the effect that the heavy de
mands of the loans would have on the
market and doubts concerning the uses to
which the loan will be put. However, It
seems to be the accepted view of financiers
that the proceeds of the loan will not be
applied to the further continuance of ths
war. It la understood that one of the
inducements to a resumption of the negoti
ations was that a considerable portion of
the psoods shall reiimin in France to
meet the Interest coupon of other loans
and thut the placing of ton tracts for gov
ernment supplies will be required even
alter the conclUHlon of hostilities.

M'CORMICK ORDERED TO PARIS

ST. FETERSBl'RO. March 24.-(4:S2 p.
m.) Mr. McCormlck, the retiring ambassa
dor to Russia, has received urgent Instruc
tions from Washington to proceed to Paris
at the earliest possible moment.
Whether the desire of the State depart
ment to have Mr. McCormlck assume his
duties In Paris at once Is due to the pros
pect of an opening of peace negotiations
there, the Venesuelan complications, or to
the wish of Ambassador Porter to depart
aooner than expected. Is not known here.
In order that there may be no hiatus here
at such an important time, Ambassador
Meyer, Mr. MeCormlck's successor, will
probably come to St. Petersburg Immedi
ately. WASHINGTON, March 24.-Inqulry here
developed the fact that the orders to Am
bassador McCormlck to proceed 'Imme
diately to Paris ase to be explained, not
upon the ground of any diplomatic emer
gency at the French capital, but solely be
cause of the president's desire to have
Henry White, former secretary of the em
bassy at London, and Just appointed am
bassador to Italy, take up his post at
Rome at the earliest possible moment. The
projected International agricultural con

POIXT
National Representation I'mler Im
perial Rescript May Be Accorded.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 24.-The lib
erals apparently have won a partial vic
tory In the. composition of the Boullgnn
committee to elaborate the scheme for na
tional representation under the Imperial
rescript. Planting themselves squarely on
the demand for a chamber of parliament
elected by universal suffrage with control
of the budget administration, they Insisted
that a commission of bureaucrats could not
be trusted to execute the popular will and
backed by the press they kept up their agi
tation for the participation of elected rep
resentatives. Powerful support also was furnished by
the semstvos and dunias and the profes
sional and educational bodies throughout
Russia, which flooded M. Boullgan, minister
of the Interior, and the committee of minis
ters with resolutions of the same tenor
and purpose. The liberals. If they could
secure control of the committee, would
vote a proposition for the election of the
constituent assembly, which would, pro
nounce for a constitution. The government,
however to: prevent guch .. contingency,
only yielded the, admission of .the oomriils
slon of "selected," not "elected," representatives.
The government's program undoubtedly
is to restrict the body created under the
rescript to a chamber composed of repre
sentatives selected by the classes In con-
Junction with the council of the empire,
but having only a consultative voice In
legislation, thus preserving Intact the
principle of autocracy. Unless future
events force the government's hand, this
program will be adhered to, but the lib
erals contend that even If tha, government
accedes to the principle of actual assem
bling such a chamber it would be analogous
to a government which would easily force
its own demands and necessitate either Its
suppression or Its transformation Into a
real legislative assembly.
S:40 a, m. Interior Minister Boullgan's
promise to the Moscow Douma representa
tives, headed by Prince Galitzin, that rep
resentatives of the people will be allowed
to participate In the deliberations of the
commission which la to frame the new gov
ernmental assembly contemplated by the
Imperial rescript of March 3, will be re
ceived with satisfaction by moderate lib
erals and, taken In connection with the an
nouced concessions to Finland and Poland,
Indicates the government's Intention to give
heed to moderate demands. It Is noticeable
that Minister Boullgan has left the man
ner of the selection of the popular repre
sentatives on the commission in the air,
giving the government the opportunity to
yield the point of election instead of selec
tion if the pressure should be too strong.

trict Attorney Irving F. Baxter of Omaha

In the Investigation. He has been one of
the chief agents In preparing testimony

Specific information regarding shipping,
marketing and prices of cattle was sought
today by the special grand Jury which is
Investigating the alleged combination of
packers.
Manager Murphy Testifies.
Michael R. Murphy, general manager for
the Cudahy Packing company at 8outh
Omaha, Sioux City and Kansas City, was
before the Inquisitors and ahed some light
upon the subjects under consideration.
"They asked me first about the packing
business In general," Mr. Murphy said.
"Then they took up the subject of mar
keting and asked all the details of it.
They Inquired Into the shipping of cattle
and beef. Their questions did not point to
an Investigation relative to railroads. Then
they went on to the subject of prices."
Asked whether the questions were such
as would Indicate a desire for general In
formation, rather than for use In possible
Indictments, Mr. Murphy said that gen
eral Information was evidently not what
the Inquisitors was after.
Henry F. Wllklns, manager of the beef
department of the Cudahy Packing com
pany at Omaha, was questioned on ths
subject of handling beef, but he declined
to discuss his testimony.
Kansas City Man on Stand.

amination and with the exception of the
noon adjournment waa on the witness
stand from 11:30 o'clock In the morning
until adjournment at 6 o'clock In the after
noon. When he left the jury room It could
be plainly seen that he had been affected
by the ordeal. He appeared nervous and
refused to discuss his testimony.
"I told all I knew of the business In
which I am connected," said he, "but I
will not tell in detail what It is. This Is
too serious a matter and it would do me
a great Injury were my words to become
public."
(Vacation of Freight Rates.

Morrison Is paying considerable attention
to the question of railroad rates for moat
and cattle shipments and the question of
whether rebates are paid, the packers be

yet to be called before the inquisitors. He
Is said to be well acquainted with railroad
rates.
The Investigation will not be resumed
until Monday.
VAIN HUNT FOR ALBERT BELL
Posse of Fifty Men Searching; McNeil
Island for Escaped Mall
Robber.
TACOMA, Wash.. March 24. Although
the posse searching McNeil inland for the
escaped federal convict, 'Albert E. Bell, has
been Increased to ilfty men and orders
liave been Issued to bring him in dead or
alive, no trace of the robber has been
found. The entire island has been searched
closely, but there are many dense places
where the convict may have found se
curity. The . weather is so wet that the
bloodhounds cannot pick up the scent.
It Is believed that Bell sent word by a
released convict to confederates to make
careful arrangements to row htm away
from the Island at some safe place. Bell,
who is supposed to have a large sum of
money secreted, has In the recent months
paid the fines of several fellow prisoners,
thus shortening their terms, and it is 'the
opinion of Marshal Hopkins that they are
now paying their debts to the bank robber.
Later In the day the revenue cutter
Grant, Captain Tosler, took up the man
hunt and haa thrown out a cordon of email
boats on the west side of the Island.

the people.

Willing to Aid Her
Creditors.
CLEVELAND, March !4. In bankruptcy
court today Mrs. Caasie L. Chadwick de
tailed some of her financial transactions
during an examination by Attorney Gross
man, acting for Trustee Loeser. Mrs.
Chadwick said that she was not able to
give as many details of these transactions
aa she would like because of the absence
of papers which were held In a number
ot cities. She had sent for the papers
and expected to have them when the hear
ing would be continued. She testified that
her total Indebtedness would not exceed
$750,000. Of this sum, borrowed from vari
ous persons, she had received only $517,000,
leaving $268,000 for commissions to the
money lenders. She said she owed banks
In Cleveland $200,000. The names of these
institutions she was willing to give to
Trustee Loeser privately.
Mrs. Chadwick walked from the county
Jail to the bankruptcy court, a distance ot
about one block. She looked well and ap
peared cheerful. She expressed her will
ingness to tell all 'that she could of her
financial affairs. Some of the questions
, that were put to her were not answered
because she did not care to give a reply
from memory. The examination disclosed
additional assets of $300,000. Of this amount
$58,000 Is due from Charles H. Stewart of
Cleveland; il0,000 Is Jewelry held by Wolf
ers Brothers of Brussels, Belgium.
Mrs. Chadwick asserted that there were
other assets, consisting of Jewelry and
valuable articles held by other persons
for her.
Willing; to Aid Creditors.
The examination was conducted In the
presence of Mrs. Chadwlck'a four attor
neys, who at times interposed an objection
to the questions of Mr. Grossman and with
whom Mrs. Chadwick frequently consulted
before she replied to some of the questions.
Mr. Grossman opened by saying he be
lieved that Mrs. Chadwick owed $2,000,000
and had $100,000 In discovered assets. He
asked Mrs. Chadwick to assist the trustee
for the creditors In finding all her prop
erty. This Mrs. Chadwick said she was
willing to do, but said that Important
papers she had sent for would not be in
her possession until next week. She said
the papers were scattered around In Can
ton, Pittsburg, New York and other
places. She said the papers would show
where hundreds ot thousands of dollars
worth of property was and would alBO
make known what sums she had borrowed.
She denied that her Indebtedness would
amount to $2,000,000 or any sum near It.
She said that the $750,000 which she admits
she owea would include, the bonuses paid
for loans. ..'." "-
Bis; 'Commission to Newton...
Relative to the "suit of Herbert D. New
ton of Brookllne, Mass., to recover $180,000
loaned by him,- Mrs.' Chadwick said she was
not Indebted to Mr. Newton for that
amount. She said Mr. Newton held her pa
per for that sum, but that she did not re
ceive that much money from him.
"How much did he give you, actually?"
Mr. Grossman asked.
"It would represent $78,009," replied Mrs.
Chadwick, "I obtained $28,000 In money, and
notes for, the rest. Two $15,000 notes were
applied on an old debt and two $10,000 notes
were negotiated. I realized $1,000 on one
and $4,000 on the other."
"Does the difference between $78,000 and
the $190,800 represent the commission?"
"Yes."
"Where are these notes?"
"One Is In Oberlin, one for $10,000, and the
other $10,000 note Is In Europe."
"Who has the note in Europe?"
"G. R. Cutler, a Brussels broker."
"Where are tho two $16,000 notes?"
"They are with a banker. I would rather
not mention Ms name."
"Then you paid $112,800 commission for
the Newton loans?"
"Yes."
Ones 223,ono tn Pittsburg.
Mrs Chadwick said she had received $76,
000 from James A. Friend of Pittsburg. For
this Bhe said she gave him notes for $150,000.
She said that Mr. Friend had assisted her
In making loans to the amount of $150,000.
For thia she gave Jewelry as security. Of
the loans for $150,000, she said she received
the entire sum. Mrs. Chadwick said $225.-
000 was the total of her Indebtedness In
Pittsburg.
Mrs. Chadwick said that besides the Jew
elry held In Pittsburg, Henry Wurst of
Elyrla and Ludwlg Nlsson of New York
once had In their possession Jewelry be
longing to her and taken as security for
loans. Bhe said she believed that Mr. Nls
son had sold a rope of pearls valued at
$60,000, given on a loan of $17,000.
Mrs. Chadwick also gave her note to
Mr. Nlsson for the loan, but the note
having been renewed time and again, Mr.
Nlsson finally sold the rope of pearls.
Jewelry In Brussels.
To the question by Mr. Grossman
whether there was any Jewelry in Europe,
Mrs. Chadwick :eplled;
"There is some in the hands of Wolfers
Brothers of Brussels."
"What Is that transaction?"

DOCTORS DIAGNOSE WRONG
Mistake of Physicians Causes Death
of Negro During; Test of New
Anaesthetic.
KANSAS CITY. Mo., March J.-Davtd
Peters, a negro aged 45, died on the oper
ating table at the University hospital one
minute after a new anaesthetic, named an
aesthctol, the 'Invention of Dr. R, M. Stone
of Omaha, had been administered to him.
Fifty of the leading physicians of Kansas
City and other Missouri valley towns had
gathered to witness the test of the new
drug. 'The negro's ailment had been diag
nosed as a cyst on the liver, and he had
volunteered to become a clinic in return
for free surgical and medical treatment. A
post-mortem examination showed that the
diagnosis was wrong and that the patient
was suffering from water In the pleural and
cranial cavities, a condition In which tho
physicians agreed, and anaesthetic would
have been 'futal. A second test ot anaes
tlietol tn the case of a woman was en
tirely successful.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. March 24.-(SpeclaJ Telegram.)
The legislature snatched time from a
busy, day in which the last vestige ot a
railroad rato bill waa obliterated, to fix
Thursday noon, March JO, aa the time for
final adjournment. A Joint resolution to
this effect wa adopted by the, house and
senate. This does not, however, rnaka It
positively certain that the twenty-ninth
session will adjourn Bine die at, this hour,
for as is the case with nearly all leglala
tures when the time comes to quit, many
measures are likely to be on hsnd and
the tradition of stopping the clock la liable
again to be brought Into vogue. However,
the members aa a whole seem quite anxious
to get through Just aa soon as possible.
The senate passed the Ernst binder
twine plant bill, appropriating a totsl of
about $200,000 for the establishment and
maintenance of such a plant at the peni
tentiary; defeated the 8heldon anti-pas
bill, and the house on final vote defeated
the commodity rate bill and Indefinitely
postponed the Caldwell and Bedford-Harrington
maximum freight rate bills. Thua,
the legislature gave to the railroads the
assurance thut at least no anti-pass or
freight rate bill would be enacted Into a
law this year, leaving no other hope for
railroad legislation except possibly the
passage of a railroad commission bill.
Much Kxcltement In House.
The vote on the commodity rate bill was
attended with much excitement. Soin
members became so excited In their eager
ness to got under cover that they fairly
bolted for the doors when the roll call
started. Kyd of Gage, who has posed all
session as an anti-monopoly man, but
whose record Identifies him aa an ardent
supporter of the corporations and a protege
vi n. a. Bcnneider, was among those who
managed to get across the dead line before
the fatal shotxwas fired. He was in con
versation with Bob Clancey, the Union Pa
cific lobbyist, In the hull when the vote
waa taken.
Besides Kyd, Copsey, Lahners, Harmon
and Zuelow were absent without excuse. A
flglit waa made to force- these members to
come In and vote, but all 1 efforts era
futile. A ca.ll of the house was demanded
and still It was Impossible to get the ab
sentees' In. A motion was made by Foster
to have warrants Issued for the appear--nce
of those, absent and unexcused, but
this motion was voted down.
The result fell like a pall upon those
members Interested in railroad regulation,
for in it they could only perceive the death
knell of all their efforts.
Caldwell, who introduced the maximum
freight rate bill, brought himself to vote
against the bill. He was expected to vote
for It, aa ho had talked for it and h.n
professed anti-railroad man in two sessions
of tho legislature. But there were so many
sucn surprises that this one did not hold all
the attention.
Of the Douglas county members Ander-
sen, Clarke, Dodge. Barnes. Le n
Muxen voted against the bill and Foster
and Fltie for it. while Tucker was absent
and excused.

Uxplainlus Their Votes.
Several members explained their votes.
Burns of Lancaster said:
Believing that the passuge of this bill at
this time wul not give the relief sought,
but will tend to dettact interest from ths
measure that will grant the required regu
lation of the railroads, mill believing that
the only permanent relief must come from
a railroad commission elected by the peo
ple, which can and will regulate and en
force a fair and Just rale between the rail
roads and the people, 1 vote "No."
Jones of Polk Believing, as I do, that this
body should have passed a freight rate bill
that waa Just and equitable to all, 1 have
done all within my ikiwit to have reported
tor final vote a bill that would uffoid re
lief to the now overburdened shippers of
this state, without doing a wrong to the
railroads. In my humble Judgment we
have failed to reach the desired goal.
11. R. 234 will not meet the demands of the
hour; however, I feel that we cannot af-
iuiu riiuci imu ui flur lute
crumb, though the loaf be denied. 1 there-
1UID TUID AJB.
Bedford of Holt H. R. 236, the commodity
bill, Is only a small portion of what ths
people of this state demand, and I am much
more tn favor of H. R. 871 or H. R. 3o6, and
as this session of tho legislature Is drawing
near Its close, and In my-opinion there is
nf ruiiulhl. f h i. ,i ... sif Q.UIILI. I .. . m
theae two bills, therefore I vote aye on the
bill.
Gerdes of Richardson Believing thst H.
R. $71 would be a more Just law If passed
by this house, but believing that this bill
will be the only rate bill considered by this
session and while have my doubla as to
this bill being of any value, but believing
that all rate laws will be taken to court
and tested as to their legality, 1 therefore
vole "Vcs."
Caldwell of Clay I do not believe that
H. K. 'OA gives the neeilcd relief to a long
suffering people and whereas (here ia still
pending a lull that will give relief thut
the people are entitled to do not belluve
in compromising on a bill that only gives
a small per cent reduction on a few com
modities. I therefore vole "No."
Vltidhani of t.'ass Being fully convinced
that all the evil complained of and tost
should be amended cannot be adequat-ily
