C It liens.
SEOUL, Wednesday, Feb. 10-The Rus
sian consul at Chemulpo Is now guarded
by Japanese troops. Today all the other
Russians In the city have been ordered into
one larrfe house, where they will be de
tained swatting action of the authorities
as to their disposal. The Russian minister
at Seoul has been requested by the Japan
ese minister, through a neutral legation, to
withdraw, and he will do so. He will prob
ably leave tomorrow. There are now on
board the French cruiser Pascal 214 Rus
sluns, of whom two commanders, fourteen
officers snd thirty-one men are wounded.
8ix. wounded men have already died. It Is
now known that the Russian cruiser Varlag
had forty men and one ofTlcer, by eolint,
killed during the recertt engagement off
Chemulpo. This officer was a midshipman
named Nlron and not Muro, as stated er
roneously In a previous dispatch. The
Varlag bad sixty-four men wounded, among
them Captain Rudeff, who was In command
of the cruisers. His wounds are not con
sidered serious' The Russian dead, with
iho exception of the young officer who fell
on the bridge, were locked Up in the cabin
when the Varlag went down. The passen
gers and crew of the ' BuhgarTe' have been
taken on board the Paschal. ,
The Corean telegroph lines have been cut
In all directions. Several men ware seen
on board the koruts, . It Is said, an
Instant before It blew up. The commis
sioner of customs at Chemulpo .has pro
tested against an alleged breach of neu
trality on the part of the Japanese.
The Russians assert that the Japanese
fired first, dispatching two trrpedoei at the
Koruts when It tried to leave the harbor
on February 11. The Japanese claim In

POI.K K STOP THU DEMONSTRATION.
Japanese Authorities Interfere to Pro
tect Feelings of Ranalans.,
SHANGHAI, Feb. Jfj.-Advices from Na.
gasakl, dated Friday, February 12, state
that absolute letlcence Is maintained by
the government An intense war feeling
prevails among all classes, although there
Is an apparent absence of excitement.
Among the striking features of the situa
tion are the strict censorship which la ex
ercised over all cablegrams and the close
concealment of military and naval move
ments. It has been the government's policy
to have the news of naval conflicts coma
as a complete surprise.
Tbe Japanese themselves aid not know
the destination of the warships. The newt
of Japan's successes has caused suppressed
exultations. The only demonstrations have
been mada by newsboys, wearing bells, who
ore constantly Scurrying through the city
with "extras," which are Issued frequently
by the papers. These are eagerly read and
occasional shouts of "bansal," the Japan
ese hurrah, are heard on the streets.
A torchlight procession In honor of the
Japanese triumph was called for Wednes
day evening at Nagasaki, where there Is a
large colony of Russians. .When the Japan
ese began to assemble with lanterns the
pollec intervened and dispersed the crowd
without the occurrence of. any. disorder.
The Russians In Japan are not terrified by
the situation, but severthelesac acting on
the advices of their consuls, they have be
gun a general exodus.
The mubllUatlon of the Japanese army
has been carried out methodically. It la
estimated that Bou.ouo troops are now ready
to be placed In the field, without Imparlng
the national defenses. The movements of
the troops are shrouded in secrecy. They
are being moved , at night toward their
bases at Sasebo, Kure Mojl and Yokusuka,
and the lights of ordinary trains ars extin
guished when In the neighborhood of troop
trains. Members of the reserve force Im
mediately step Into the places of the out
going regulars. Their organisation Is per
fect and a full equipment Is ready fur each
one of the reserves. Hundreds of hotels,
tea houses snd temples have been requisi
tioned In Toklo und other divisional ten
ters. All the steamers of Japan's merchant
lines are being rapidly converted Into aux
iliary cruisers, armed with quick-firing
guns and fitted with torpedo tubes.
The government officials refuse to give
out any Information regarding their mill
try Intentions. They expect to profit by
dissenllons in the Russians' council of
state. It It believed that the extraordinary
powers conferred on Viceroy Alexleff will
lead to a clash between Foreign Minister
Iamadorft and General Kouropatkln, es
pecially, as the latter Is unfriendly to Alex
left. The result of a disagreement between
those two Russian leaders here would end
In a military muddle.
The Japanese are convinced that the Rus
slans will be unable to concentrate and
maintain Su.OU) troops at any Important
point of military operations.
There la much talk current In regard to
the possible dynamiting of the Russian

railroad In Manchuria. Thousands of
Japanese, who are practically undlstln-
gulshahle from Chinese, are working In
Manchuria and would willingly rlrk their
lives to aid their country's cause. A large
hody of troops Is due In Nagasaki on Sat
urday to embark on transports for Corea,
A protective boom of mines his been
placed about the entrance of Nagasaki har
bor. Yokohama Is also guarded by mines.
Several Russian merchant vessels which
have bein captured and have been held as
prises, have been taken to Sasebo, where
they are well guarded. All passing steam
ers are closely Inspected by a flotilla of
torpedo boats.

Representative of t nltert states Pro
tect Japanese In Manchuria.
NEW CHWANQ, Sunday, Feb. 14. -About
fifty Japanese men on their way to Tien
Tsln were arrested at Tal HI Chou Febru
ary 1?, with their women, and arrived here.
The Ameilcan consul, Henry T. Miller,
procured the release of the women, but
viceroy Alexleff ordered their rearrest and
transportation, together with all the Japan
ese In Manchuria, to Port Arthur.
Mr. Miller based his action on assuranres
the Russians gave the Japanese consul that
all Japanese subjects would be protected
and permitted to leave when they desired.
There are numerous Japanese complaints
of Russian Ill-treatment. It is said that
4O0 Japanese refugees from Harbin 'end
elsewhere, who ar.-lved at Mukden Febru
ary 10, were arrested and that some of
them were severely beaten and detained
Until they purchased their release. When
they were liberated the Japanese were sent
In open trucks to Tal Hal Chou, where they
were again maltreated and sent on to Port
Arthur. Some of their women were sent
to New Chwang. Consul Miller took the
women under his protection and sent them
to Shan Hal Kwan.
Mr. Miller protested to the civil admin
istrator against the cruel treatment of tho
Japanese refugees by Russian soldiers and
requested a census of all transported to
Port Arthur.
. The consul himself was menaced by a
Cossack without provocation and the officer
commanding at New Chwang expressed his
regrets and promised to severely punish the
Cossack. Tho civil administration prom
ised to afford better protection to the
refugees.
Independent naval officers say the Csare
vltih, Hetzlvan, Pallada and Novik, dam
aged In the naval battle oft Port Arthur,
cannot be repaired In time to decide the
command of tho sea. THcy also say the
Russian land forces are demoralised. They
are trying to watch tho entire coast.
The officers of the Russian gunboat
Bivoutch, at New Chwang. declared they
are prepared to blow up their vessel in
case of danger. They are employing a
searchlight all night long, over the plains.
The telegraphic Interruptions threaten to
complete the isolation of the war tone, ex
cept by dispatch boat. Admiral Alexleff
has forbidden all ships ti enter any of the
ports of the Llao Tung peninsula. It Is un
derstood his purpose Is to carry out the
defenses of the harbors which hitherto
have been neglected. Foreigners are not
permitted to move without military per
mits. The foreign missions at Mukden, appre
hending a Chinese outbreak, are sending
the missionaries with their families away,
The teports that Japanese ships have
been seen using . searchlights off New
Chwang and off the coast nenr Mln Chou
are fictitious. There are about S.0OO Rus
sian troops now at New Chwang.

SUMMARY OF WAR SITUATION
New York Herald Briefly Ontllnes the
Developments of Past Twenty
Four Honrs.
NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-fSpeelal Tele
gram.) The Herald this morning publishes
the following comprehensive Introduction
to tho war news:
Heavy reinforcements for Russia are re
ported as moving toward Harbin and
through Manchuria.
Japan Is said to have already landed
10,000 troops at Chemulpo.
No news develops as to the movements
of the Vladivostok ' fleet. Belated reports
of the naval action at Chemulpo continues
to flow in. having' evidently been held up
by the censor and released en bloc. These
reports bear further testimony to the cool
ness and Inflexibility of the Japanese ad
miral, the courage of the Russian com
mander and his men In moving out to a
hopeless fight 'and the evident sympathy
of the naval commanders of the other
powers gaJiered Jjhemulpu, for the offi
cers and men who.jo gallantly went forth
to certain defeat aVid probable death.
As grave International questions have
arisen from tho acts of the naval command
ers It Is gratifying to note 'that the captain
of the United States cruiser Vlcksburg
mado every effort to keep himself and his
nation free from entanglement.'
From Port Arthur via Che Foo comes the
unexpected announcement that the Russian
fleet' "Is moving In the direction of Corea
or the south of Japan."

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 15. (New York

opinion Is growing here that Mr. Hay's

HOW WRIGHT GOT HIS START
Britain's Noted Rooster Dabbled
la
American Silver Mines and
Stocks.
Poor Whltaker Wright! How well I re
member him, Iwenfy-flve years ago, In his
charming seaside home near Long Branch,
and the delightful evening I spent as his
guest. He was then regarded as a mining
expert of rare ability and large fortune,
snd he was especially Interested In what
were called "the wonderful" Lake Valley sil
ver mines In New Mexico. It was as his guest
and that of the late George D. Roherts,
one of the greatest mine developers and
mining speculators we have ever had, that
I made the trip to New Mexico, our party
being driven across the sterile plain, ten
miles from the railroad station, to the
dry and desolate spot In which tbe mines
were loeateJ. And we were driven under
guards armed with rifles, because at that
time Apache Indians were roaming the
desert and seeking an occasional scalp,
And I recall how when Whltaker
Wright led us Into the bowels of the
earth he asked me to hold my candle under
a light mass of decaying rock and witness
the tiny globules of lead and silver as they
slowly melted Into form. Outside the
mine were enormous piles of what looked
to me like rock, but which Mr. Wright and
Mr. Roberts called ore, and which seemed
to cast a spell of delightful delusion over
the group of financiers accompanying us
on our visit. The description of that trip
appeared the next day In glowing stories
In some of the leading New York news
papers, and every word of the long dis
patch was telephoned from the office of
the Lake Valley mines, far out upon the
desert and over a single wire ten miles
to the telegraph operator at the railroad
station. It described tho fabulous riches
of the Lake Valley mines, and when the
party returned to New Tork a ready
market was found for an enormous volume
of shares which had been previously dls
trlbuted to Insiders at $1 a share. I doubt
If the stock would bring a rent a share at
this day.
I wonder now If it was In the Lake
Valley scheme that Whttnker Wright made
his first million with which he disappeared
until his name became noted, and after
ward notorious, In, London. He wss a
noted man for many years. Ills mining
schemes took with the English speculative
class. Just as they had taken a quarter
of a century before with an army of small
speculators In the United States. Those
who recall the tremendous boom In mining
stocks around 1K78 and 1S79 will find It
analogous to the excitement on the stock
market of two years sgo. And now poor
Whltaker Wright lies dead. Charged with
defrauding the public, sentenced to seven
years of penal servitude, he slipped a
deadly tablet of poison Into his mouth,
and expired so quickly that his death
was at first attributed to heart disease.

SOD HOUSES CFJHE PRAIRIES
Relies of Pioneer I'.lfe Ulv Way o
nbstaatlal Ktldeaees of
Prosperity.
Many of the first settlers on the broad
prairies of the west locstcd at points
where It was difficult, tf not Impossible, to
procure house-building material There
mere no trees to draw on for timber, places
of supply were distant, and the cost of
transportation was prohibitive. Bo. driven
by necessity, ths hmtteader cut the
tounh sod of his Ihnd lt:to blocks, and from
these reared for himself a rude, but suffi
cient, shelter. He provided It with doors
and windows If he could, and he furnished
Its Interior as well as hi means permitted.
Formerly the sod house was a frequent
feature In parts of Kansas. Nebraska, snd
other states, but owing to Improved facili
ties for transportation and the cheapening
of supplies the construction of this sort of
dwelling has become nearly, or quite, a lost
art. and only a f"W specimens remain to
testify to the straits of the early settlers.
One of the most notable of these structure
stands In the vicinity of Bucklln, western
Kansas. It was erected In lSSfi, but l still
In a good steto of preservation. While It
ns yet new a severe hailstorm swept over
that section. The large hailstones de
stroyed the growing crops, killed birds and
rabbits, and drilled many holes in the roof
of the house. Repairs on the latter were
made with sod alone. Leslie's Weekly.
WHY LINCOLN WAS AMUSED
The Idea of Ever Becoming President
Provoked an Ootbnrst of
l.nnahtrr. "
As a reporter for the Associated Press,
and afterwards as a friend of Lincoln. Mr.
Henry Vlllard wos close enough to tho
president to give a vivid picture of that
eccentric genius. Some of his "Recollec
tions of Lincoln." taken from his forth
coming autobiography, are printed In the
February Atlantic, nnd show that Mr. Vll
lard was at the same time curiously at
tracted by the power of the man and re
pelled by his coarseness. Once while wait
ing for a belated train at a little town In
Illinois, he and the future president took
refuge from a storm In a freight car,
where, ns they squatted together on thn
floor, they fell Into familiar conversation.
Lincoln said that when he was clerking In
a store his highest ambition had been to
be a member of tho state legislature.
"Since then, of course." he Said, laugh
ingly, "I have grown some, but my friends
got me Into this business imesnlng the
canvass). I did not consider myself quali
fied for the United States senate, and It
took me a long time to, persuade myself
that I was. Now, to be sure," he con
tinued, with another of his peculiar
laughs. "I am convinced that I am good
enough for It; but In spite of It all, I am
saying to myself every day: 'It ls( too big
ining ior you; you will never get It.'
Mary (his wife) Insists, however, that I
am going to be senator and president of
the United States, too." These last words
he followed with a rour of laughter, with
his arm around his knees, snd shuklng all
over with mirth nt his wife's ambition.
"Just think," he exclaimed, "of such a
sucker as me as president!"

I'rlor to ths discovery of li'yomel and Its
Introduction In this section by Sherman ic
McCoiinell Drug Co., corner 16lb, and

for a few minutes four times a duy. Kellef
will be seen after the first treatment and
a complete cure wll soon follow. Breathe,

are destroyed. The Irritated muciuj
membrane Is soothed and healeJ, and
perfect health restored.
