clal military channels describes the Chinese
forces marching northward as being an un
disciplined and almost grotesque military
organisation, showing an entire absence of
equipment and training. As evidence of the
unreliability of these forae the following
occurrence la cited:
A body of Yuan Phi Kal cavalry was
paraded before French and Gorman mili
tary attache The former asked the com
mander why the cavalry remained In the
towns and had no field maneuvers. The
Chinese general answered: "Because many
horse markets exist within the Interior, and
I wa know the cava'xymen would sell their
horses, disband and leave ua without cav
alry." The report give this aa showing the lack
of reliability and unity of the Chinese
forces.
It la the Impression here that the Chinese
sre unable to give the Russians serious
trouble on. the Manchurlan border, except
by pillaging and harrying, thus compelling
the maintenance of a considerable Russian
force along the border.
PRESIDENT CAlTIO.Ni OFFICERS
Issues Order Respecting; Observance
of Neutrality.
WASHINGTON, March 10. President
'Roosevelt, after a conference with Secre
tary of State Hay, Issued the following
executive order respecting the observance
of the pioclamatlon recently promu'gated
declaring the neutrality of the United
States between Russia and Japan, the two
combatant nation in the fur eaBt war
now In progress:
All officials of the government, civil,
military and naval, are hereby directed
not only to observe the resident s urou-
lamatlon of neutrality in the pending war
between Russia and Janan. but also to
abstain from either action or speech which
can legitimately cause Irritation to eithnr
of the combatants. The government of
the United States represents the people of
the United States, not only In the sincerity
with which It is endeavoring to keep the
scale ot neutrality exact and even, hut
In the sincerity with which it deplores the
breaking out of the present war, and hopes
that It will end at the earliest possible mo
ment and with the smallest possible loss
to those engaged. Such a war inevitably
. Increases and Inflames the susceptibility of
th combatants -to anything In ths nature
of an Injury or slight by outsiders.
Too often combatants make conflicting
claims as to the duties and obligations of
neutral, so that even when discharging
these duties and obligations with scrupulous
care It Is difficult to avoid gtvi.ig offense to
; one or the other party. To such unavold
. able cause of offense, alue to the perform
i ance of national duty, there must not be
added -any avoidable cause. It ts always
useless to bring old-world antipathies and
; Jealousies Into our life, or by speech or
oonauct to excite anger ana resentment
f toward our nation In friendly foreign lands,
' but In a government employe, whose ofti-
1 clu! position m-..e him in some sejise the
.' representative-.of -the people, the mischief
of such action u greatly incioaseu, A .
tfong and self-conndent nation should be
peculiarly oarrul not only of , the rights, i
but of the susceptibilities' of Its neighbors,
and nowadays- all of the nations of the
world are neighbors one to the other. Cour
tesy, moderation and self-restraint should
mark International, no less than private,
intercourse.
All the official of the government, civil.
military and naval, are expected so to carry
themselves both In act and deed as to give
no cause of Just offense to the people of any
foreign and friendly power and with all
mankind wa are now In friendship.

INDIANAPOLIS, March' 10. The United

tucky, West Virginia and Iowa that are to
participate In the referendum vote Tuesday
on the proposition of accepting a reduction
of 6.56 per cent In wages or closing the soft
coal mines on April 1, will receive their
ballots tomorrow morning. With the bal
lots are being sent out the circular letter
that the national convention on Monday
authorized President Mitchell, Vice Presi
dent T. T. Lewis and Secretary and Treas
urer W. B. Wilson to address to the locals
setting out their recommendations that the
reduction be accepted and stating the rea
sons for accepting. The letter says In part:
No on . who Is familiar with the past his
tory ot the United Mine Workurs of Amer
ica will charge either of us with, being
afraid to strike, If, In our Judgment, -a
strike would accomplish beneficial results,
but when it Is to risk all our organization
has gained for the mine workers in the
past seven years by means of conciliation,
arbitration and striken on the lBsue of a
single conflict, when the difference between
us una our employers is but 3 cents per ton
on a run of mine basis and 6 cents per ton
on a lump coal hauls, we believe It Is time
to stop and carefully consider the possible,
consequences of such an Important act.
Might lit Demoralising;.
Since 18W our organisation has been riding
on the crest of an industrial boom. It has
rapidly Increased In numbers and financial
strength, which In connection with a con
servative policy ha enabled It to increase
our wages 75 per cent In the competitive
field.
We know how hard It Is to bo compelled
to accept a reduction In wages, but tt Is
better to accept a slightly lower rate and
hold your organization Intact, ready to take
advantage of any Improvements which the
future of the trade may show, than to be
forced to accept a greater reduction at the
end of a disastrous etrike that may leave
our organization so weakened and demoral
ised that It would be unable to cope with
the vast combinations ot c&pititt now en
gaged In the coal trade.

" conclusively the fol.y of striking when

STOICS BECOME HUMAN IN A TRICE
Japanese Celebrate with Mnrh Cheer-
In and Parading; the Victory ot
Admiral Togo at Open
lost of War.
(Copyright by Now York Herald Co., 1901.)
TOKIO, Feb. 11 (From a Staff Corre
spondent of the New Tork Herald Special
to The Bee.) The pall of solemn secrecy
that has been hanging over the Japanese
capital for more than a month was lifted
yesterday and a ray of real enthusiasm
broke through.
A grea change came oyer Toklo. The
stoles dropped their masks and revealed
themselves as human beings with human
emotions, tubjecf to human excitement.
They came out of their shell and gath
ered In the streets and talked and laughed
fin.1 r Vl narrt .1 an4 arfoil 1 1 1 t a Btlff other
people would who had received new. of a
great naval victory over a powerful enemy.
Their Joy was real and lnfectlousyand they
exhibited It with spirit nnd dlgnlt
But the contrast to the silence and re-
prcsslon of the previous days was all the
more remarkable. That period of waiting
had almost fitted me to believe that the
Japanese would go through the entire war
with owl-like, unbroken placidity, no mat
ter what they won, but now I am ready to
admit that they can give way to popular
feeling when the emergency arises.
It was all stnrted by the receipt of re
ports from the main squadron of the navy.
under Admiral Togo, to the effect that a
battle, had been fought off Tort Arthur
and a great victory won. For a day or two
there had been rumors that something in
terestlng was going on or about to hap
pen. It was known that the squadron had
left Sasebo, where It had been for so long,
but only guessea were heard as to Its
destination.
New Thrills the City.
The secrecy that had prevailed took on I
an added character. It became almost i
breathless. Then, on the evening of the
8th, suddenly, from no particular point but
everywhere at once, the word came that
there had been a fight at Chemulpo and
that the Japanese had won. The Russians
had lost two ships, one of them the fine
new American built cruiser Varlag, the
other the little gunboat Corelts.
A little ripple of enthusiasm started on a I
cautious round of the city, and, meeting I
with a friendly reception, succeeded in in-
duclng others to come out so that by mid-
night there was a fair show of Interested
excitement, and the account of the en-
gagement had grown to the to-be-expected
proportions. I
Then came the big news yesterday morn-
ing. The Japanese squadron had come up
to Port Arthur and found the Russian
ships outside the harbor. In the darkness
of midnight the Japanese torpedo boats
had sneoke,d Into the entrance of the har-
bor, getting behind the Russian ships.
Then Togo' fighting line closed In.
The Russians endeavored to retire Into
the harbor and were met In the mouth by
tho torpedoes. Three were destroyed at
once, the flagship Czarovltch, ths first
rlasa American built battleship Retvlsan
and the big cruiser Pallada. Th Russians
drew off to wait for daylight, leaving the
apanese in possession of the entrance to
the harbor. There the report left Togo,
standing between the Russian and his base
and defying hi enemy to come on.
It wa beautiful strategy, that of thl
report, for It left ' the Japanese admiral
saying to the Russian, "It is cither you
or I now." If It were true, It meant that
the Japanese had cleared the Russluns
from the sea at the first encounter, and
were free to do their will ttnlnterfered with
In the matter of landing troop.
There wa no definite authority for thi
report. The naval authorities at the d-
partment maintained their silence and
simply replied to all questioning that there
had been no report from Admiral Togo.
Still, every men you met assured you that
It wa an absolute fact, and rtetoll

Flags .Flamed Rrerywhere.
Flag appeared aa If by magic all around
the city. In the street there were long

window or th shop and dwellings. Some
of tho more excitable of th people carried
little ones about, and many wtire them In
buttonhole or hatband. Th soldiers of th
reserve, who now flock about th streets.
had no question for the accuracy and relia
bility or th news. They accepted it
eagerly and congratulated one another
vigorously.
Then, about noon, cam certain conflrma
non or tne fact that there had been a flght.
mm vi inn iaci mat more naq Doer a right.
Th. captain of a British ship reported at
Cha Foo that on leaving Port Arthur he
had seen the two squadrons at It, and that
the Russian had lost two battleship and
a cruiser.
The undemonstrative Japanese let them
selvea go after that Word went around
that there would be a lantern and torch
light procession In the evening, and the
nags multiplied themselves. The wild men,
wnj peaais extra, dashed about the
streets, clanging their bells and making a
great fuss.
Toklo was really making a very unusual
demonstration, of her feelings, and there
were plenty of sign of excitement. But
loin? aa a. ucnioiiBiranon it wa nothing
at all to one who ha seen New York or
London under similar circumstances. A
regiment going to state camp causes al
most aa much commotion in New Torlr.
and If Company H of Binghamton were
ordered out on strike duty, ther would
b much more show of excitement In th
Parlor City. It wa not. In fact, the how
of feeling itself that made It noteworthy.
but thut It was shown. It was th con
trast to the awesome quiet of th pre
ceding days that mad It suggestive.
Spontaneous Eballltloa ot Spirits,
Ther wss no organization, ''about th
demonstration that followed. On of the
newspaper extras suggested that something
of th sort ought to be done, but no com
mlttee wa appointed, and there was noth
ing formal about tt. It wa simply th
spontaneous ebullition of spirits, a truly
popular show of Jubilation. The word
went around about midday that ther
would be a demonstration, and of their own
accord th people began to gather at Hi
blya park about dusk.
At that hour, wherever on went about
th city, little group of men and boys,
and even woman and children, were seen
hurrying along to th meeting plac. They
carried for th most part gay lanterns of
bamboo and paper, all decorated with red
line or figure on th whit paper. These
were suspended from long, slender strips
of bamboo, so- that they wer awung over
th head of tho who carried them and
bobbed back and forth a th people
walked
Now and then flags were carried with ths
lanterns, for the most part the white flag
with red ball centre, which Is th national
flag of Japan, but sometime th rising sun
banner -of th army and navy. Occasion-
ally also a union Jack or the ktsrs and
stripes, showed where some marchers ap
preciated the friendship of Great Britain
and the United States.
And now, too, ther were cheers. I had
begun to think the Japanese, had forgotten
how to cheer, but the bantals that went
up last night were mors than enough to
remove that suspicion. Even the children
showed that they could yell as well as
their elders. The crowd rulng through
the streets met every ricksha with ban
sals and the foreigner who looked like an
American on an Englishman was followed
wherever he went by plenty of cheers.
By 7 o'clock Hiblya park was crowded
with paraders. The students of the mili
tary and naval schools were out en masse,
and they carried torches Instead of lan
terns. Two or three bands had been en
gaged also and songs had been Improvised
for the occasion. In a remarkably orderly
fashion the procession was formed at the
park and began to march toward the
grounds of the Imperial palace.
There was no attempt at regular organi
sation, but of their- own accord and as
suited them best the people fell In In a
very long column and marched along. Tart
of the time It was column of fours, some
times more and sometimes fewer. They
marched when they felt like It and stopped
hen Plf" t cheer or sing.
On tho flanks of the column hung throng
of men and women who were not carrying
lanterns or torches, but who proceeded
with the column and were In fact part of
It. Mounted policemen, carrying red and
white lanterns, rode along with the column,
but there was no occasion for the display
of their authority. The crowd was good
natured and orderly throughout.
March to Pel sre and Cheer.
At the gate In front of the Imperial palace
the head of the procession halted. The
parnders pressed against the gate and the
railings that guard the r.ioat and cheered
and waved their lanterns frantically. From
the palace there was no sign that any one
witnln knew anythlnK of wnat wag golng
on. The building Itself 'could not be dls
tlngulshcd In the dark from the gate, but
that did not diminish the enthusiasm of the
marchers In the least.
When the head of the column halted all
those behind stopped also, and there wa no
crowding forward. : Each seemed perfectly
willing to wait patiently for his turn to
siana nerore tne gate ana cheer, When
those at the head had cheered enough to
satisfy them for a while they moved on.
when the next section stopped, those In th
lead watted also. Ther was no hurry any
where, no crowding and pushing. It was
fine, clear, starlit night, dark enough to
give full effect to the lantern display, which
wa very fine. AH over the spacious
grounds In front of. the palace there were
lanterns carried by persons who did not
care to Join the marching column, and th
great mass of them, with those In the col
umn, was like a multitude of giant flreflle
swayed about by a gently moving breeze.
Only the students had attempted to make
more show than by the use of lanterns
They had rigged up a few transparencies,
About these there was the only pushing
along the column. The outsiders were so
anxious to get close enough to read the
Inscriptions that th boy were unable to
hold their transparencies against the rush
So they employed a couple of stout wrest-
ler for each transparency and after that
the crowd might shove as It would with no
damage to the display. A few banner
with long Inscription were also carried.
Transparencies Make Hits
Two of th transparencies made great
hit with the crowds of onlookers One
represented Admiral Alexleff aa a prisoner,
Deing led up tho atreet between two little
Japanese sallormen. The other showed
a Japanese sailor with a coolle'a bar across
his shoulder lugging along two baskets,
ono suspended frpra each end of the bar
and both filled with Russian war ship.
The student stood a long time In front
of the paiace and sang all their song to
the aecompnhlment of a band.
It took nearly two hours for all th pa
raders to cheer themselyea'out In front of
the palace, for there were S.0O0 or 4,000 of
them. When they.flnally got away they
went down to the Navy department and re
peated the performance. But here they
were not so slow.", Perhaps their throat
were tired with yelling. From the Navy
department th procession broke Up, the

During all thla demonstration the Rus

or a demonstration from any of the parad
er or other about the legation buildlncs.
To be ure, tho police were keeping sharp
lookout to prevent any show of disturb

Interference.
It was not until Baron Rosen and his
establishment left Toklo thla venlng that
anytning 11K discourtesy wa attempted
and then It wa sharply repressed. There

VICTORIA, B. C, March 10-The North

count of tho trip, which Included a race
with the Russian cruiser Aurora In ths

Kasuga from possible capture by the Rus

Captain Hill say that when the two Jap
anese cruiser got through the Suez canal
they were closely followed by the Russian
squadron, which was evidently trying hard
to keep In close touch with them. The Au
rora, which enjoys the reputation of being
one of the fastest vessels afloat, attempted
to overhaul the two cruiser, which, how
ever, put on mora steam and ran away
from It with the greatest ease.
From the firing done by th Aurora It
wag evident that she meant business. Cap
tain. Hill had a long conversation with the
Japanese admirals when In Japan, shortly
before leaving and they told him that the
main object of the Japanese operations at
present was Port Arthur. They were to
capture that place at any cost, and were
confident of their ability to do so. No
efforts, the Japanese naval minister as
sured Captain Hill, would be spared to re
duce Port Arthur ns quickly a possible.
It would then be refortifled by the Japa
nese, who would remain there Instead of
following the Russians Into th wilds of
northern Manchuria or Siberia. The In
tention also is to reduce Vladivostok as
soon as the Ice goea out.
In reply to the question aa to .whether the
superb gunnery of th Japanese warship
was due to the presence of British or
American gunners was asked, Captain Hill
said most emphatically that not a white
man Is employed on any Japanese warship
In any capacity whatever, from the bridge
to the stoker, every man Is Japanese.
Regarding the foreign correspondents In
Japan, Captain Hill said that the feeling
among them was Intense. They were In
despair at tho reticence of the government
and people and found It impossible to gain
even a scrap of authentic news.
So far as Captain Hill was aware, there
was not a foreign correspondent with cither
the Japanese fleet or army.

I-ONIXlN. March 10 An f xtrnordlnary
scene disturbed the customary decotam of
the House of Lords this evening. In a re
cent debate In the House of Commons,
Premier Balfour had used the word "cal
umny" with reference to some statement
made by Lord Rosebery In the fiscal con
troversy. When the House of Lords met
today, Ix)rd Rosebery asked Lord Lans
downc, the foreign secretary, what Justifica
tion existed for the premier's use of auch
a word.
Lord Lansdowne proceeded to explain the
circumstances which concerned the alleged
presentation of two document by Premier
Balfour to the cabinet on the fiscal ques
tion and the subsequent withdrawal of
them. He admitted the premier had uecd
tho word In the heat of debatea.
He said he thought the circumstances
Justified some warmth on the part of the
premier, but that he had consulted with
Mr. Balfour, who told him that he did not
desire to Impute to Irfird Rosebery a de
liberate attempt to misrepresent him.
After Lord Lansdowne had finished. Lord
Rosebery again arose and declaring the ex
planation had not been satisfactory, he
Ilercely attacked the premier, whom he ac
cused of being too "thin skinned," adding
"people who live in glass houses should
not throw stones. It Is all very well to
defend such language by saying that It
was due to the heat of debate and only
'pretty Fanny'a way'. "
"If a man cannot curb his tongue better
than that he Is unfit to be the first lord of
the treasury. I do not personally care a
farthing what language Premier Balfour
uses about me and I only brought . ths
matter before the house In order to point
out that ther are decencies of debate that
should be used even by thoBe who occupy
the highest position."
As Lord Rosebery finished this tirade and
sat down a painful silence ensued and the
lords looked at each other uncomfortably
After a long pause. Earl Spencer, the lib
eral leader, rose and said he thought Lord
Rosebery had not been fairly used. After
another awkward silence Lord Chancellor
Halsbury asked whether Lord Rosebery had
any motion to make. Lord Rosebery then
moved an adjournment of the house, an
almoBt unparalleled motion In the House
of Lords and the subject was dropped.
