Salmtssa, May - 49, ' the Japanese returned
to Kuan Dlan.Slan, apparently not liking

NHJW CHWANO, May tl.-Refugeea who
continue to arrive herd from the southern
part of the Lioo Tung "peninsula report
daily fighting there and severe losses for
both armies, but the '-reports are not con
formable officially. The Russians here are
depending en the press bulletins for news
from that'vlclnlty.
The very Highest Russian authority here,
while not believing that Port Arthur, will
fall, admits that Its loss would be a terri
ble blow to the Russian arms. The same
authority Says Russia may send a large
army to the south -of New Chwang in the
event of General Btoessel being able to
hold his own at Port Arthur. This, how
ever. Is no); possible at present, owing to
the positions occupied by . the Japanese
armies Operating from the Talu river and
Taku Bham The Russians are not san
guine ak to the outlook for Port Arthur.
More contraband of war Is arriving here.
Two cargoes of flour and tinned meats and
soma specie were rushed to Mukden as
soon as they were unloaded.

LONDON, June 1. The Dally Mall's cor
respondent St New Chwang says:
Chinese fugitives from Port Arthur who
have arrived here describe the situation of
the inhabitants there as desperate. Famine
prices exist. The cost of provisions in
. creases weekly. Many persons sre reduced
to eating Chinese food and oven . that Is
dear. Millet flour costs. $8' a bag. Whole
streets And 'several pubjls .buildings have
i been wrecked by Japanese shell fire. The

The Toklo. correspondent of the Chronicle

CHK FOO, May 31. 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. " The
Japanese had not appeared at Dalny up to
that time.
One Junk which waa leaving .Dalny was
sunk by bundlts and fifty . persons were
drowned. ' , ..
Tho Chinese who have -arrived here did
not leave. Dalny or. Tallenwan , because
they were afraid of the Russians or Japa

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.
WOULD-, (KNOW EJEMVI STRENGTH
Rnsslans Profess to Believe that
Konropatkln Haa situation In Hand. '
ST. PETERSBURG, May SI. 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

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.

NO K0NCY FCR CONVENTION HALL ftEHT
Intend to Hold State Meeting; at
Orphenm, When Peerless Leader
Will Re tho Whole
Thin sr.
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. Mahoney or Euclid Martin
Is going to have anything to do with the
convention today, however. Theirs is the
attitude of the very much aloof and, the
very far away.
