Chinese arriving to night say that the Japanese occupied Dalny without opposition on larft Sunday. Five hundred Chinese refugees from Port Dalny and Tallenwan arrived here today. After sifting their conflicting stories It ap pears 'that the Russians left Tallenwan May M for Port Arthur, after burning everything likely to be of ue to the Japa nese. Bandits later took possession of the town and were pillaging when the Japa nese cavalry appeared. May 27. On May M the Russians left Port Dalny, previously burning the offices and residences, de stroying the railroad and scuttling three merclsantmen,-the Zcld, Boreia and Naga dah, Snd all' the dredgers and launches. Some 'of ' the refugees also say the Rus sians destroyed the gunboat'Bogatyr, which Is believed to have taken part In the battle of Thursday last ' at Kin' Chou, .and three torpedo- boats. " Others say the vessels re turned to Port Arthur.' " The dooks and piers at Dalny were not destroyed. Bandits occupied the city after the Russians left 'and levied tribute on the Inhabitants. A Chlnese'contractor, who had built most of Dalny for the Russians, was held for ransom and his clerks killed. The town was still burning May 28, when the ' refugees started ' for Che Foo.

COtJTT LAMSDORFF, MAT, RETIRE Hostile Inflnences Ontst.de' Political Circles Exerted Auralnst Him. ST. PETERSBURG, May 31. Gossip con cerning. Count JnmsdorfTs early, recre ment, from the ministry of foreign affairs is renewed. The-report -In tho present Instance seems not based so much on political grounds as on -manifestations ot personal hostility- outside ministerial' -sir Cjes. The fact that Count Lamsdorff notified foreign diplomats today that he' would not reoelve on his regular., reception day to morrow is being used to add color -to re ports of his retirement, although this may only be a .coincidence of - small signifi cance. Such notifications have not been uncommon. ' It Is considered possible that these re ports may have been -spread by ministers who are his- personal enemies and some of whom it la well known have sought to undermine him for some time. - The government is making every effort to expedite the dispatch of artillery- re inforcements to the front. Ordnance ma terial on the way is given precedence over atl otf(er. traffic, Including passengers.. In a ietter from KaJnsk, West Siberia, , the representative of a commercial housd says .that the Siberian express, whereby ft was traveling, was detained to permit the passage' of three full tralnloadrf of" field' artillery.

There Is considerable talk In unofficial clrclos re garding the strength of the Japanese force whioh engaged the Cossacks at Al Tang Pien Men. It is evident that the Japanese have a large body of troops northeast of Feng Wang Cheng, which, It la suggested, will advance when General Kurokl deems the moment opportune to effect a turning movement on Mukden. Whatever Informa tion the War office has on this point is naturally kept secret. No alarm Is dla played, the understanding being that Gen eral Kouropatkin haa the, situation well In .hand. .. v COREA GRANTS RIGHTS AND ORDERS Emperor Shows Favor to Japan a4id to Fi reign Envoys.

RUSSIA WANTS 'NO INTERVENTION l - If Other Nations Mast Interfere They Must Walt 'for Russian Success. ST. PETERSBURG. May SI. 6 p. m; The renewed Intimations of foreign medU atlon in the war are considered In gov ernment circles to be entirely out of place and Impertinent In view of Russia's specific declaration- In diplomatic circles that, -mediation we regarded as being beyond" the range of possibility at tho present time,' Any move In that direction can 1e taketj only after a great change In the military situation when .Russia's military prestige Is restored both because of Its effect on Europe snd on its future In the tar east.

A problem of no small proportions Is wor rylng the victorious Bryan democrats- In Omahn. It ts the wherewithal to pay for the rent of the Orpheum theater. In which a state convention Is to be held Wednesday afternoon at S o'clock. Having Just ns sumed command ot the Douglas county forces the' BryVnltes have nothing In the treasury upon which to do business. Chair man Wyatt of the new committee was out scurrying for funds and the urgent need for cash Was exemplified In his appeals to democrats classed as foes ot Bryan. Provided the rent is raised, the conven tion 'will be called at I p. fn. In the Or pheum theater, with nothing In aitiht re motely resembling a cdntest and with W. J. Bryan as the whole thing. All the delegates, 1.06S In number, have to do Is to select four delegates-at-large and two from each of the six senatorial districts to represent Nebraska at the St. Louis convention, July 6; ndopt n plat form and recommend a national committee man from Nebraska, although this latter may be left to the delegates. Bryan Will Bo It. . Mr. Bryan will be present to make a speech and present the platform he. has written, while Representatlvo Cochran of Missouri will orate and say about Mr. Bryan what Mr. Bryan cannot with mod esty say about himself. State Chairman P. L. Hall of Lincoln will call tho convention- to order -and H. H. Hanks of Otoa county, a defeated can didate for congressional honors In the First district, will be chairman; and, in tho opinion of the most .prominent mem bers of the party, permanent Chairman. "There is no -contest and no renson to suppose "that Hanks won't be mnde- per manent chairman," said a leader Inst night Probably, should Hanks not be so elected. State Chairman Hall of 'Lincoln will be placed In the position. There seems to be no doubt of the Re election of James C. Dahlman as national committeeman from Nebraska. ' He has been so endorsed by the Douglas county democrats and no one seems to think his election will be seriously opposed. New State Committee. A prominent Bryan man said last night when the nominating convention met In all probability the entire state committee would be changed, but no such work would be taken up by the convention which meets today. Thla Is the third democratic state con vention to he held in Omaha within re cent years. One of . the others waa in 1891, when Euclid Martin and other -"simon-pure" democrats led. a bolt from the con vention hall and met In the Paxton hotel, where a state ticket, headed by T. W, Bturdevant for governor, waa placed In the .field. The bulk ot the delegates under Bryan "nominated the populist, Holoomb, for. governoE. . In 1890 the democrats met in state con ventlon in the Boyd theater and nonv inated James B. Boyd for governor. ' It was at this convention that T. J. Mahbney made hla ..famous antf-prohlbltton speech In .reply,, to J; D.-Calhoun ot Lincoln and Mahoney .gave -utterance' 'to - his "later famous declaration, "God hates a coward Neither T. J.
