2 TASTEOFWAR FOR WAR DEPARTMENT Invaded by Insane Sol . dier Whose Gun Spit. HIS BULLETS HIT TWO i i . General Chaffee Seizes the Madman by the Throat and Wrests the Smoking Revolver From H? 3 Hand. The Soldier Taken Hence Raging. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, March 3.—Armed with a 38 calibre revolver, William J. O’Brien, alias William Duffy, an insane discharged soldier, today entered the War Depart and going to room 227 in the mail and record division, shot Robert J. Man ning, a messenger, and Arthur Wiecker, a clerk. Miss Emma Saxton, another clerk, barely missed being shot through the head. The injury to Manning is on the right side just above the kidneys and is re garded as dangerous. Wiecker was shot in the left arm above the elbow. Before the maniac could fire a third time he was overpowered by James J. Dawson, a messenger. It required the combined strength of half a dozen men finally to subdue the man. Prominent among them was Lieu tenant General Adna B. Chaffee, chief of staff. The lunatic still held the smoking ■weapon in his hand, when General Chaffee noticed it, and with his left hand .on the man’s throat took the weapon from him,, and also the papers in his pocket. Majors Kean and Ireland, of the Surgeon Gen eral’s staff, were hastily sent for and gave first aid to the injured men before they were taken to the Emergency Hospital. O'Brien, or Duffy, in talking to Charles Brandt, the chief of the division, expressed dissatisfaction with his discharge papers. Then, without a word of warning, he drew the pistol from his pocket and aimed it directly at Brandt's head. Brandt duck ed and the bullet entered the arm of Wiecker. He then turned the weapon on Mias Saxton and fired. She, too. dodged ! and the bullet struck Manning. O’Brien was taken to the police station, > it requiring four men to get him out of the building. O'Brien was admitted to S.t. Elizabeth’s j Asylum in 1893. He later was paroled, j but was returned in 1897. He served in j the Sixth cavalry and Third artillery. I I , i l o’clock this morning without hearing the report of the Committee on Resolutions. It was impossible to retain order or any semblance of it, and the adjournment was forced by (he organization which had the whip hand throughout the session, while Congressman Campbell Slemp, of the Tenth District, was making a speech de clining election as a delegate at large to Chicago. The delegates elected from the State at large are Brown Allen, Park Ag new, who was re-elected State chairman, Lawrence Groner. and Colonel Slemp. Che latter positively declines to go be cause Judge Li- L. Lewis was not also elected. The negro delegates from several dis tricts were in attendance but carried very little weight in the deliberations of the ! convention. George E. Bowden, of Nor- | folk, was re-elected member of the Re- ! publicato National Committee. Prove This, Dreyfus is Guiltless. (By the Associated PresO Paris, March 3.—The Court ot ('auc tion begin at noon today the considera tion of the appeal of Alfred Dreyfus for a levision of his (rial. The report of M. Boyer, reporter of the court, which was lead, presented these two new facts upon which the Ministv of Justice. ~M. Valle, recommended a revision of the case: "One —the secret documents include a letter bearing the initial ‘i>.’ Now by 5n affidavit signed by M. Gribelin. keeper of the archives, it appears that this docu ment previously carried the letter ‘P’ For this letter was substituted a ‘D’ and thus the altered document was presented to the court at Rennes. “Two—according to tin* Minister of Justice another letter, signed 'Alexan drine’ which Ag?nt ‘A’ addressed to Agent 'B’ contained some words in the handwriting of the late Lieutenant Col onel Henry. M. Oribelin swore during the inquiry of the Minister of War that this letter was false. It was true, however, that the date of this document was March 28. 1895. when Dreyfus was imprisoned on Devil’s Island.’’ It was claimed by those present hi court that if the new facts were acknowl edged by the tribunal the innocence of Dreyfus would be astabli-hed.

MAR. 5 18C4 RUSSIA MOVES UP TOTHEVALU RIVER Her Plan to Check Japan on Land Perfected. A FLANK MOVEMENT If Japan is Attemptiog' this by Possiet Bay Russia is Sure of Her Foe’s Failure. Expecting a Siege / of Port Arthur Leav ing Yin Kow. ' \ (By the Associated Press.) St. Petersburg, March 3.—Since the dis appearance of the Japanese fleet from before Port Arthur the Russian authorities have been awaiting anxiously for the next move of the Japanese on the sea. There is an inclination here to believe that the Japanese have been discouraged by the failure of their attacks and perhaps by losses they have not announced. It is evident from the meagre informa tion regarding the Russian dispositions in Northern Korea that the plan for check- ing the Japanese land advance is per- i footed and that heavy reserves are being (brought up to the Yalu River. Every energy of the authorities is now directed to prevent a blockade on the i Siberian Railroad. Twenty new sidings. ' each of 2,200 feet, are being erected. Ow ' ing to the heavy movement of rolling stock i t carrying re-infpreements, war munitions i and commissariat stores eastward, there ■ is great <lang?r that in bringing back the I empty cars the whole line may be stopped. With the sidings now building the au thorities hope to be able to keep the line clear and to send eleven trains in i each direction daily. To Abandon Yin Kow. (By the Associated Press ) Yin Kow, March 3.—The Russo-Chinese bank is closing, preparatory to removing to Mukden. Women and children are pre paring to leave Yin Kow in anticipa tion of the arrival of a Japanese fleet, which is expected when the river opens, probably a fortnight hence. On account of the impossibility of de fending the coast at Yin Kow until such time as a thaw, permits the construction of entrenchments and forts, the Russians have prepared to retire up the main rail road line. There are practically no de fenses here, and although the shifting and re-shifting of troops and artillery to the small forts at the mouth of the Liao Rivei has the appearance of an intention to . defend Yin Kow, tin? military authorities depend upon an inland engagement to put a stop to the Japanese advance. As far as is yet known the only plans decided upon are. first, that General Kuropatkin'.s headquarters are to be at Mukden; Viceroy Alexieff proposes to re- main at Mukden indefinitely, as that city is the center of the Chinese administration. Second, that the plain west of Tashichiao, which is almost impossible of defence, will be held if possible on acount of the railroad connection with Port Arthur; third, Ilai Ching and Liao Yang are th* extreme limits to which troops will be withdrawal, on account of the exposure of the railroad at these points. That the Japanese will arrive before a thaw permits tlie construction of de fenses is thought here to be practically certain. It would appear also that the authorities expect Port Arthur to be besieged. Japanese Cavalry Seen. (By the Associated Press.)

Attempt to Outflank Russians. (By the Associated Press.) Vladivostoek, March 3. —Tlic detach ment of 2,500 Japanese troopis without ar tilelrv, which arrived at Song-Chein, Plak sin Bay, on the northwest coast of Korea, February 10, landed from three steamers escorted by three warships, at night, and jftarted immediately on a march to Mao'n- Fur-Chan, south Manchuria,, close to the Korean border. St. Petersburg, March 3.—The landing of 2,500 Japanese at Song-Chin, Plaksin Bay, Korea, February 10. reported by Major General Fflug, chief of staff of Viceroy' Alexieff, js believed here td be the origin of the recent reports of ;l Jap anese landing at Possict Bay, and is con sidered to l>e an attempt to outflank the Russian advance from the Yalu River. I The Japanese, according to General Pflug, | have* gone to a point whence a mountain ; pass leads to (he headwaters of the Yalu, eighty miles distant. Marching in that mountainous region is declared by experts here to be almost impossible.

At Midnight Five Thousand People Were Bat tling With the Flames at Lawton. (By the Associated Press.) Lawton, Okla., March 3. —Prairie fires that swept over large portions of Kiowa ; and Comanche counties last night de stroyed hundreds of farm buildings and much live stock, made 1,000 persons home less, caused the death of several persons, threatened a number of towns and swept away scores of buildings on the outskirts of the towns. The following deaths are verified: DR. HARMOND, -ix mies from Lawton: body found. UNKNOWN BOY, body found on prairie near Lawton; burned beyond identifica tion. JOHN HARMOND and a daughter of Mrs. Henderson, living near Lawton, were fatally burned. The country was very dry*. no rain hav ing fallen for months- Grass and stubble fires, set by farmers as is customary at this season of the year were driven be yond control by a violent gale which rose suddenly. Estimates of the loss exceeds $200,000. Reports say that more fatalities are expected as the reports from districts are meagre. At Hobart, the county seat of Kiowa county, the fire approached from the east, destroying the stables and fifteen race horses, fifteen residences, two busi ness houses and various small buildings. Spreading io the southwest, the fire swept seventy-five thousand acres of gov ernment military and timber reserve and Indian school reserve, destroying several Indian houses and forty head of govern ment catttle. Spreading westward the flames covered miles of the homestead dis trict, destroying houses, barns qnd slock. It was in this district that five persons arc reported to have perished in attempt ing to protect their property. Two of these were women and their names have not vet been learned. Late at night the fire began moving southward toward this city. At midnight five thousand people of the city were bat tling with the approaching flames. The advance line of the fire was fully two miles Sn length, and came in a semi-circu lar form. A thousand men turned their efforts to checking the grass borders of the reserva tion at the city limits. VVater from every source carried in every conceivable way was distributed along this line and carried all around the city limits. This served the purpose of checking the advance lines j of the fire, but was of little avail in him J dering the continual rolling of fire brands ! into tho streets of the city. In more than I a hundred places flames arouse from dwellings, barns and outhouses, but ! wherever a blaze gerw men were present to quench it with water- A.s a result of the cool judgment of the fire fighters the city's loss was only SIO,OOO. Families lay out on the prairie through out the freezing night after the storm had passed with only thin clothes on their backs. Hundreds of people arc desti tute and arc suffering intensely from the cold. Oklahoma City, Okla., March 3.—Driven by a terrific gale from (lie north, which at times reached a velocity of ninety miles an hour, a prairie fire swept over 75,000 acres in Comaffchc rountv last night, inflicting damage now estimated at $200,000. The city of Lawton was saved only by extreme effort, while many farm houses were consumed. Kiowa coun ty was also visited by a prairie fire dur ing the storm, while the damage is re ported from all over the southwest. The losses from wind and fire reported to dale follows: Hobart $40,000; Vinson, $8,000; Lawton, $5,000; Small country towns aggregate $50,000: farm property SIOO,OOO. Persistent reports of loss of life come from rural districts; but, owing to diffi culties of communication they have not yet been confirmed. Cashier Gets Five Years. (By tho Associated* Press.)
