IN A FRENCH HAVEN
RU881AN FEELT COALING FOR
LA8T PART OF VOYAGE.
New Is Confirmed by French and
British Steamers It Believed
Rojestvensky's Squadron Has Been
Divided, Part Having Gone North.
London, April 19. Tho latest news
from tho fnr cant shows that certainly
n portion of the Russian second Pa
cific squadron was still coaling at
Kniiirnnh hay Saturday morning,
.April 15. This news wan brought to
Singapore by tho Hrltlsh steamer Sul
Sang and to Hong Kong by the French
fitoamer Phu Yen. The former merely
reports passing the Russian ships nt
31 o'clock In tho morning. The Phu
Yen's officers saw twenty vessels coal
ing In the bay and It Is suspectod that
tho remainder of tho (leet was inside
the harbor. According to the Dally

Sul Sang, which wns not molested by
tho Russians, sighted a big French
wnrshlp- two hours later, fourteen
miles to the southward, evidently pro
ceeding to Kamrnnh bay.
The piecemeal character of tho
news excludes tho possibility of any
accurate estimate of tho movements
of Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron,
Imt It would seem to show that he
has divided his forces, a portion of
which wont northward before Satur
day. What Iins happened since then
it is Imposslhlo to say, and there is
no clear evidence oven that tho Rus
elans have been within tho throe mile
limit, which would bring them, accord
ing to International regulations, Into
Infringement of French neutrality.
The fact that they were visible to
passing ships would appear to show
that they were outside tho limit.
Jarmneso sentiment, however, Is
greatly disturbed
Tho correspondent
at Tokio of tho Dally Telegraph says
lie has no hesitation in declaring tliat
should occasion arise and her prelim
inary protests be ignored, Japan will
regard any anchorage occupied by tho
Russian Heel ns its naval base and
deal with the situation accordingly. !
It is Impossible to locate Sampaloc
point, off which, according to the Ma
nila correspondent of tho Daily Mall
fllxtccn Japanese cruisers nnd other
craft wero scouting on Tuesday morn
ing, but the Daily Mnll thinks the
Japanese lleut wns maneuvering to
prevent tho Russlnns from entering
tho Paciflc between tho Philippines
and Formosa.
Japanese diplomats nnd others In
London consider the alleged breach
of neutrality by France, in allowing j
the second Russian Pacific squadron
to remain over time on the Cochin
China coast, as one of tho most seri
ous developments In tho situation.
A dispatch from Shnnghai to tho
Morning Post says: Two junks have '
lieon blown up by minus near Chusnn.
Tho appearance of mines south of
Shanghai is causing great apprehen- '
fclon for tho safety of European mail
steamers. j
Tho Daily Mall's correspondent at
Singapore loams that Russian agents
liavo cut the cable between Koochow
nnd Formosa.

St. Petersburg, April 19. M. Tabur
no, an Associated Press correspondent ,
who has returned from Manchuria for
n short vacation during tho lull In

jiect serious lighting for nt least a j
month or six weeks. Ho says the !
Itufcslan army, which Is occupying a
line southward of Slplnghal, is busy
with reconnaissances ns far south as
Changtufu, and has already been re
cruited to the strength It had before
tho battle of Mukden. Many of tho
wounded have returned to the ranks !
Bud tho moinle Is excellent. The
present position of tho army Is nat
urally strong and has many strategic
advantages.
Wholesale Arrests in Russia.

Nonunion Teamster Fires at
Picket
and Wounds Another.
Chicago, April 19. The first shoot
ing and tho most serious assault hlnco
tho commencement .,( the Montgom
ery Ward strike occurred at Vnn
Huron and Sherman streets. Charles
Ocker, a nonunion teamster, was leav
ing tho Atlantic hotel when he was
attacked by n union picket. Ocker
drew u revolver and llrod twice at
his assailant and although lie was but
a few foot from tho man, both bullets
wont wide, and ono of them struck
Walter Klager, a teamster, who was
unloading a wagon hnlf a square
away. Ocker was arrested. Klager's
wound is not dangerous. Shortly after
this trouble was over John O'Reilly of
St. Louis, who wns walking on Van
Huron street, near tho scone of tho
shooting, was attacked by union
teamsters and beaten into insensibil
ity. It was believed by the teamsters
that ho had boon working for Mont
gomery Ward & Co., but O'Reilly as
sorted that ho had not been working
for tho firm, had no Intention of doing
so, and until ho was attacked know
nothing about the strike.
Ward & Co. experienced loss diffi
culty In delivering goods than at any
time since tho commencement of the
strike. All of their wagons mndo trips
to tho freight depots under police
guard and none of them were mo
lested. Tho deadlock between tho teamsters
and tho employers continues and
there is no indication of the ending
of tho strike. Tho officials of the
tcninstcrs union declnrod that they
had no intention of spreading tho
strike to establishments other than
that of Ward & Co.

Illegal Fences Come Down.
Omaha, April 13. United States
District Attorney Maxtor lias received
a letter from the Wnre-Costin Cattle
company, near Ogalalia, in which tho
company states that that it will open
all fences at section lines by May 30,
and all fences whero government land
is enclosed by Nov. 30. Judge IJaxter
said: "Tho effect of this, one of the
largest cattle companies In tho west,
will bo to stimulnto other stockmen
to also take down their Illegal fences.
This letter Is but a logical result of
tho announcement of the mandate
that tho fences must come down."
Nebraska Crop Conditions.
Lincoln, April 19. The dry, cold
weather of tho past week has been un
favorable for tho growth of vegeta
tion. Winter wheat continues in ex
cellent condition. Spring wheat and
oats are coming up nicely. Grass has
grown slowly. Alfalfa has wintered
' well and Is growing finely. The low
temperature caused some damage to
oats and probably slightly Injured ap
ricots, early plums and a few early
cherries in central and southern coun
ties. Plowing for corn has progressed
rapidly and a very little corn has been
planted In southeastern counties. A
, considerable acreage of early potatoes
has been planted.
A Coffee Cnleulnllon.
A variation of the old blacksmith cal
culation by which the progressive dou
bling of sums beginning witli n cent
for tho first nail brings the price of
shoeing a horse up to a stupendous
mini Is used by an Arch street grocer to
advertise his coffee with striking ef
fect. The grocer displays a sign read
ing, "If one grain of our coffee was
placed on the first square of a checker
board, two on the second, four on the
third, mid so on, doubling throughout
tho whole sixty-four squares the to

Friendly Murder.
When Commodore Hillings and Mr.
Main were on the river Kahinia they
had for attendant a young man from
Kanoga, an island between Kamchat
ka and North America. One day Mr.
Main asked him, "What will the sav
ages do to mo if I fall Into their pow
er?" "Sir," said the youth, "you will nev
er fall into their power if I remain
with you. I always carry a sharp
knife, and If 1 see you pursued and
unable to escape 1 will plunge my
knife Into your heart; then the savages
can do nothing to you."
This recalls the words of tho French
knight reported by .lolnvllle. "Swear
to me," said Queen Margaret, "that If
the Saracens become masters of lianil
etta you will cut oil' my head beforo
they can take me."
"Willingly," returned the knight. "I
bnd already thought of doing so If the
contingency arrived."
