Two Hundred Miles
North of Mukden.
MANY RUS8FANS KILLED
St. Petersburg, March 20.—(10:45 a.
m.)—While Emperor Nicholas, whose
word Is final, still declines to abandon
the proseputlop of the war, and the
government maintains Its ability to
continue the conflict, the Associated
Press is in a position to state {hat
powerful influences, including several
of the emperor's own ministers, are
now strongly urging that the time has
come to indicate to Japan Russia’s de-
sire for peace upon a reasonable basis.
Should Japan then attempt to im-
pose too oderous conditions, these in-
fluences argue that, in view of the uni-
versal wish to see the bloody conflict
ended, Russia's position will he
strengthened abroad by the alienation
sympathy from Japan and the sit-
uation at home Improved when the
nation Is made to understand that the
emperor's pacific proposals have met
with impossible terms.
Japanese Flanking
Retreating Russians.
Gunshu Pass (106 miles north of
Mukden), March 19.—(Morning)—
The first army which has been cov-
ering the retreat of the Russian
forces from the south is withdrawing
slowly, checking the comparatively
light attacks of the Japanese. The
Japanese are conducting a flanking
operation on the right and from the
Russian column the Japanese bat-
teries are visible, keeping pace a
short distance away.
The Red Cross detachments at alt
of the intermediate stations to Harbin
are working night and day operating,
bandaging and feeding the wounded.
The Chinese population arc leaving
Gnnshu pass for Kirin and the labor
question Is therefore growing critical,
though the Chinese receive the un-
precedentedly high wages of 40 to 50
cents a day.
Chinese Fear
the Jaoaneae.
Op Saturday, while the correspon-
dent was proceeding almost with the
rear guard, ho stopped at a Chinese
village, where several natives came
to the commanding officer and asked
permission to accompany the column
with their families, saying the women
feared the Japanese, who treated
them worse than did the Chinese
bandits.
Practically the entire village ac-
cepted the offleer's permlslson to ac-
company the rear guard.
The Japanese have ordered all Chi-
nese in Mukden having Russian mon-
ey to appear at the police station and
exchange the paper and silver money
for Japanese notes, which have been
issued especially for Manchuria.
Llnevltch Reports
Bombardment of Troops.
St. Petersburg. March 19.—Com-
mander-ln-chlef Llnevltch In a tele-
gram dated Sunday, says:
"On March 17th the Japanese bat-
teries bombarded our divisions in the
valleys of the Tavanpnn and Yanpu.
The enemy appeared near Kaotaitzo
(on the railroad about 22 miles north
of Tie Pass) and their cavalry has oc-
cupied Fakoman. Our armies con-
tinue their concentration."

"Onr detachment, continuing Its ad-
vance ndrtb, pursued the enemy to
Kalyuan (some twenty miles north of
Tie Pass). Kalvuan was evacuated
by the enemy on Saturday after they
had sei fire to the railroad station.'1
Preacher Arraigns
Russia for Vanity.
St. Petersburg, March 20.—(2:35 a.
m.l—Metropolitan Antonius has issued
a remarkable pastoral address ar-
raigning the Russia of today for van-
ity, frivolity, dissipation and Impiety,
the lust punishment of which is the
humiliation of uie nation, and preach-
ing repentance and fear of God.
Czarina's
Devotion.
Vienna. Marco 19.—Vienna papers
contain the following report about the
czarina's perpetual anxiety for her
husband and children. She pre-
pares food for the esar, who is in
constant fear of poison: she assists
at every detail of his toilet, as would
the German wife of some small citizen,
since the czar mistrusts every act of
his servants; she superintends the tai-
lor and laundress, as well as the bar-
ter. and besides this she attends to
every want of her infant son.
It has become almost a fixed idea
with the czar that his sob’s life is
threatened. HU majesty fears that

vainly expected, would cause the out-
break of a revolutioa is every comer

In any way connected with the Impe-
degree suspected Is removed upon

general feeling of insecurity, nobody

forth.
PLUNGES DOWN EMBANKMENT.
Erie Train Derailed Near Wingold, In-
diana, Yesterday.
Hammnpd, Ind., March 19.—Erie
railroad train No. 17, known as the
Parlflc Express, while running at a
rate of 00 miles an hour, near Win
gold station this morning, plunged
down a 20 foot embankment, injuring
12 neople, two of whom may die.
The wreck was caused by the aux-
iliary reservoirs under the engine cab
dropping into a switch frog, which
caught the front truckg of the tender.
The engine remained on uie track,
but six cars toppled over and rolled
down the embankment.
Engineer Walnlbe'and Fireman Gor-
man remained at their posts and es-
caped injury.
ATTACKED BY A LUNATIC.
Chemical Company's Employe As-
sculted With a Butcher Knife.
Bay City, Mich., March 17.—John
White, an employe at the North Amer-
ican Chemical company's plant, was
discovered unconscious and bleeding
near his work Wednesday night. On
recovering consciousness he told a
sensational tale of a half hour's battle
with an unknown masked lunatic who
attacked him with a butcher knife.
White states that the masked man
entered the room where he was work-
ing and tolfl him plainly that he was
going to kill him. He then produced
a butcher knife and took after him.
White jumped over large potash pans,
followed by his pursuer. Three times
the weapon was brought down on the
fugitive, once on the fleshy part of the
right leg, another time across the left
arm and a third stroke cut a large
hole In his cap.
White finally made a dash for the
door, closely pursued. The man with
the (nask followed him 300 yards and
then slunk away in the darkness.

RELATIVE8 OF MEN KILLED BY
YAQUI8.
H, L. Millar, Survivor of the Murder-
ous Attack Near La Colorado Some
Time Ago, 8aya That Large Indem-
nity Will Be Asked of the Mexican
Government.
The friends and relatives of Merrill
A. Cali, Walter Stublnger, Dr. Robert
Clark Coy and John Kenneth Mac-
Kcnzie, the four men murdered near
La Colorado, in Sonora, presumably
by Yaqul Indians, are preparing to
take steps toward demanding indem-
nity from the Mexican government
for the murder of the .four men and
their financial losses.
Mr. Herbert L. Miller,of Chicago,
who was with the party when the
murderous attack was made and who
had a hair-raising experience in mak-
ing his escape, in, which he received
two flesh wounds, was in Phoenix a
few days ago, and the Arizona Re-
publican of that city prints the fol-
lowing, which Is a part of a long in-
terview with him:
"Mr. Miller says that himself and
associates, those who have money in-
vested there and the relatives of the
men recently murdered, are moving
in the matter of an effort to get the
allowance through the state depart-
ment of a claim somewhere near as
adequate as money can repay them
for the murder of their associates
and their financial losses. Nor are
they going to stop at that. They pro
pose through the publicity of the
press, through official representation^
and in every way possible to bring
such influences to bear against the
higher authorities of the sister repub-
lic as well work reforms both In the
interest of human life, both native
and foreign, and In the protection of
Investments. He says It Is a great
country for the capitalist if he could
only secure protection, in pressing
these thingB through official sources
Mr. Miller says that .1. A. Call, a rela-
tive of Merrill A. Call, and a Cnlted
SUtes official at Let* Angeles, has
taken the matter up and is preparing
a statement of the case, together with
all the sworn testimony available for
presentation to the state department.
As an eye-witness to the murders and
one of the wounded victims of the
ambuscade, Mr. Miller has prepared
a typewritten document of nine legal
size pages, recounting the actual facts
of that fateful Journey and the Inci-
dents of the massacre and the events
immediately succeeding It. This he
has sworn to and will present as a
part of Mr. Call’s brief In the prem-
ises. He says that the men who are
Interested with him In Mexico and
the friends of the murdered hold in-
timate relations with a number of
American citizens who are presum-
ably able to secure more than a for-
mal bearing of matters presented
through official channels; men whose
stations in life suggest the serious
consideration of matters presented by
them, and for that reason he Is hope-
ful of securing for all concerned In
this Immediate incident, some meas-
ure of Justice and Incidentally some
reforms that will benefit not only In-
vesting Americans bui the people of
Mexico He mentioned such men as
Mr. Ripley, Mr. Morton and Mr.
Schwab in this category. He says he
is aware of the enmities he may make
by his attitude in making these things
public and in agitating them, but he
says his property is jeopardized any-
way and he Is practically driven into
a demand for reform."

BRITAIN ON THE DECLINE
(Associated Press Correspondence.)
St, Petersburg, Feb. 28.—Much has
been said and written to show the
advisability and even necessity of
changing the form of government of
the Russian state from an absolute
monarchy to some form of constitu-
tionalism, but there is a strong party
within the empire which believes that,
the only salvation for Russia rests In
the retention, for the present, at
least, of the existing form of govern-
ment. One of (lie ablest advocates of
this view Is Vladimir Grlngnmth, ed-
itor and publisher of the Moscow
Viedohostl, the leading conservative
organ, from whom the Associated
Press lias secured the following arti-
cle, setting forth one phase of the
argument against sweeping changes.
Mr. Grlngmuth takes the view that
to hold together the' vast empire, ab-
solutism and autocracy are ipipcrui
lively necessary, that under the In-
fluence of constitutionalism and a
parliamentary form of government
the centrifugal forces would prove
too strong to be resisted by the pres-
ent bonds which unite the Russian
people to their emperor. He says:
Russia Must
Retain Autocracy.
“A full and accurate answer to the
question, why autocracy is Indispen-
sable to Russia, would fill a volume,
so ninny are the reasons which could
be given to prove that Russia cannot
exist without the autocratic power of
its emperors. Among these are forces
of historical, geographical, ethnolog-
lea), religious, ethical ami psycholog-
ical nature, the latter or which could
hardly be presented in a clear and
convincing fashion to those who have
not studied Russia closely at flrsl
hand and familiarized themselves
with the spiritual and Intellectual
qualities of the Russian |»eople. For
these reasons I shall not attempt to
discuss the latter causes within the
limits of Mils sketch, the readers of
which, unacquainted with Russia,
might easily take the deep convic-
tions of a Russian for idle talk, In-
consistent with reality. 1 shut!, there-
fore, restrict myself to answering the
question from the viewpoint of his-
torical facts.
Why Parliamentary
Reform Means Disaster.
"First of all, to simplify the reason-
ing let me restate the question and
ask: Why would a parliamentary sys-
tem cause the downfall of Russia?
This Involves no change In the sub-
stance of the problem, for, as a par-
liamentary system must, be the cor-
ner-stone of any constitutional re-
gime, to prove that parliamentarism
would wreck the Russian state will
Involve the corollary mat autocracy
Is Indispensable to this country.
Evolution Toward
a Republic.
"My readers probably know that
every civilized state must In Its evo-
lution pass through the following
stages: Autocracy, constitution, re-
public. This proposition may be con
gldered axiomatic by all who have In
mind the history of the past two cen-
turies in western Europe and Amer-
ica. Hut one circumstance which al-
ways accompanies such an evolution
may have been overlooked, a circum-
stance which with two exceptions, of
which l shall speak later, has helped
the progress of all countries and
saved them from dissolution. I refer
to the existing centrlpndal force of a
nation, the more typical examples of
this are Germany and Italy, where
the evolution from absolutism to con-
stitutionalism went hand in hand
with the powerful national tendency
to unite in one strong whole. In
France, likewise, all the great govern
mental upheavals, from the downfall
of the monarchy in 1789 to the estab-
lishment of the republic In 1870 were
accompanied by a strong nationalistic
feeling and no one even thought of
the dismemberment of France, that
France which through the policy of
Richelieu and Louis XI.V., was so
firmly bound together that even the
German Alsace felt itself an Integral
part.
"No need to mention the smaller
states, such as Greece, Belgium. Hol-
land, which represqp# strongly united
entities. Incapable of division, since
they have no parts. And who does
not know of the Ideal national ener-
gy of Switzerland, which will always
remain one, though composed of
three different nationalities.
British Form
on Decline.
"But now for the other side of the
picture. In Great Britain we already !
see signs of an insufficient centripe-1
dal force/ due to an insufficient feel-
ing of national unity. In the eight-j
eenth century It lost ft* American
colonies and the present relation of
the mother country to Its foreign
possessions la weakening to such an
extent that the very name of British
'empire' is becoming questionable.
We will say nothing of Ireland—that
eternal open wound in the body pol-
itic of the 'empire.' lu the same man j
ner the relations between Sweden
and Norway are constantly growing f

weaker: these two countries could
not unite Into one whole in 1814, aud
now they will never do so. Hut the
most striking example of centrifugal,
anti-government force Is offered by
the Austro-Hungarian monarchy Dur-
ing tho unlimited au'oeraey of the
Htipsburgs (since ,1689) it presented
one pollt leal whole firmly united un-
der ihnt^ystetn: lmt when. In the
year 1848. the era of democratic con-
stitutionalism began the monarchy
was shaken to Its very foundations
Hungary separated from Austria, re-
taining only an outward tie, waieh if
not today will tomorrow be broken.
Tho Hapshurgs have forever lost the
Italian provinces, have been driven
from Germany, and the Austria of to-
day represents a rabble of antagonis-
tic nationalities, rendering an ideal
political life Impotable. As Profes-
sor Uuiuplovlrh of Gralz, an expert
in state law and sociology, writes:
“ In Austria tho parliamentary sys-
tem has existed now these forty years
and more, and what is the lesson It
has taught us? Thru a parliamentary
system for Austria Is an utter Imprac-
ticability. It was transplanted hither
from the west, but look no root. The
more the strength of the Germanic
elements decreased, and that of the
other nationalities grew, the clearer
could it be seen that national strug-
gles make parliamentarism Impossi-
ble. Political and social parlies are
possible in a parliament—not nation-
al. For a struggle between national-
ities is lu every way different from
a struggle between parties within a
nation.’
Russia and
Austro-Hungary.
“As with Austro-Hungary on a com-
paratively small schle. so with Russia
on a collosal one, and the peril with
which parliamentarism menaces Rus-
sia Is, therefor*, iuttnltoly greater
than that which > the Hapsluirglan
state faces. The Russian empire la
vast, but Its vastness ts still of very
recent origin. Its western and east-
ern frontier possessions, Finland, the
Baltic provinces, Poland, tho Cau-
casus, and the Central Aslan regions
—have not. only Bet yet assimilated
themselves with Russia proper, hut
they do not even desire to do so; they
entertain hopes of an Independent na-
tional and even political existence. In
view of this their centrifugal force
Is much more powerful and Intense
than that of the smaller nationalities
of Austria, which cannot even Chink
of complete political independence
outside of the Hapslmrg sway, those
fragments of the italian and Servian
peoples who are endeavoring to Join
themselves to the Italian and Servian
kingdoms alone ^excepted.
A Parliament
Means Disinte^tion.
"Let us now suppose that the au-
tocracy, which has created and pre-
served In Its entirety the great united
Russian empire, be swept away and
In Its place be substituted constitu-
tional parliamentarism. .What takes
place In this parliament? A process
of disintegration as In Its Austrian
prototype, the fragments arraying
themseives not into political but into
national parties, which enter Into an
Implacable conflict among themselves.
This conflict .will put n stop to the
Whole murclt of political life and will
end only when all Russia has been
reduced to shattered fragments; in
other words, when Russia lias ceased
to exist.
Enemies Hope
for Change.
“Such a prospect Is, of course, a
consummation devoutly to bo wished
for by all (he enemies of Russia, but
we Russian conservatives look with
horror upon the prospect of such a
fate und are endeavoring with all our
Strength to avert It. Bui the present
enemies of Russia In western Europe
would do well to consider that, they
would also soon begin to feel the con-
sequences of the disappearance of
great and powerful Russia, then no
longer able to resist the menacing
y “vw Invasion, which would sweep
over Its remnants to fall upon Europe
with all Its destructive force.
Russia’s Very
Integrity Threatened.
•'Tilts, in a few words, Is one of the
chief reasons why Russia needs auto-
cracy, under which, as has been
shown by the history of ages, Russia
has been aide to fulfill with such sue
cesa her great .task. Parliamentar-
ism, on the other hand, would destroy
Russia's Integrity, and wilh It Russia
herself. I repeat once more that 1
have here touched upon but one of
the principal reason* why autocracy
Is necessary to Russia, (hat very ex-
ternal reason which can Is- most
easily understood by foreigners unite
quainted with Russia, Other reasons
of a more domestic character, would
demand, as I said above, too detailed
and complicated explanations."

MINE COMPLETELY BURNED
Charleston, VY. Va . March 19.—As
a result of tho horrible explosion In

mines.
Ton of theso were killed In the ex-
plosion Saturday night and the other
fourteen were u rescuing party who
entered the mine this morning to
lake from the mines the bodies of
their fellow-workmen. The latter
wore killed by a second explosion and
afterdamp. The first explosion
seemed to shake the foundation of the
mountains and the angry twin flush
from the two neighboring drift
mouths lighted up the heavens for
miles around.
Soon front the mluing villages for
several miles up and down the river
hundreds of people rushed to the
scene of the disaster. The llrsl ex-
plosion was eausetl by a naked flame
coming in contact with gas. The
flames leaped front tint drift mouth
and set lire to everything In the
minea which was not blown out by
the force of the explosion.
The great drum, by which tint cars
are run from the drift, mouth down

A rostteo party was formed and
about twenty men entered the mine
In search of the bodies of those who
hail perished at the first explosion.
The men explored the mines for two
or three hours, putting up brattices zo
that pure air could follow them where-
ever they went. Finally, some of them
came out and reported that the others
were too careless In going forward
