The Japanese are following the Russian rear guard, which is moving north from Santoupu at the rate of 8 1-2 miles a clay. On both thnks the Japanese are operat ing a wide turning movement, but the r rent; lh of the flanking forces has not lueii definitely ascertained. A num ber of place3 along the railroad be tween Santoupu and Gunshu Pass there are broken hills with steep sides and gorges at the bottom, where stub born resistance might be made, but It is doubtful if General Linevitch will make a stand before he reaches the Sungari river and Chantchiatu. Unless he is able to hold the line of the river, the Russian position will be so weak stragetically that he may be compelled to race back of Harbin into Siberia, owing to the fact that as they approach Harbin the Russian front parallels the railroad, rendering the danger cf a severance of the sole line of communication constantly greater. The prospect of the isolation of Vladivostock must also be met, and it is urgently necessary to supply the garrison with provisions and ammuni tion, not for a few months, but for two years. Two hundred thousand reenforce raents from Russia are now necessary to make it possible for the Russians to meet the Japanese on anything like equal terms. St. Petersburg, By Cable. Tbe pos sibility that if the Russian army fchould be unable to hold the lower line of the Sungari river at Cbaun chlatsu, it may be compelled to retreat not only to Harbin, but also farther westward along the railroad, abandon ing to the Japanese nprthern Man churia and the Russian maritime Amur Siberian provinces, as well as the vast territory already lost, is the latest startling news fiom the front. The strategic weakness of General Linevitch's position, as he falls back northward, is made clear by a Gun Ehu dispatch, in which it is pointed out that unless Chunchiatsu and the Sungari lines, a scant hundred miles below Harbin, can be held, it will be difficult to maintain a position farther back before Harbin, where, with the front cf the army paralleling the rail road, the practicability of a turning movement to completely sever com munications and isolate the army six thousand miles from home is too serious for Russian considera tion. That such a dispatch should have been permitted to pass the cen sor at the front is significant; and, if General Linevitch has communicated a similar estimate'of the situation di rect to Emperor Nicholas, it may ac count for his Majesty's increased dis position to listen .to peace counsels nd open negotiations before the Jap anese establish themselves on Rus sian soil. It can now be definitely stated that the decision to appoint Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaiv. h to the supreme command in the F.ir East was recon sidered, because of the opinion that the outlook at the front dees not war i ant the risk of compromising the prestige of a member cf the imperial family. At the general staff, the view thai Oensral Linevitch may be compelled to abandon Harbin and retire towards Lake Baikal, leaving Vladivostock' to its fate, is regarded . as almost un warranted by anything that is official ly known there, it being pointed out that Field Marshal Oyama may have a long and laborious task to bring up an army of 300,000 or 400,000 men. Meanwhile, Russian re-enforcements are arriving at Harbin at the rate of 1,200 ruen per day. Nevertheless, it is signiaaint that thera is new a wejl earkea peace party the war Office. JULES V!!L ,s DEAC Writer of Quasi-Scientific Romances Which Have Scored Brilliant and Lasting Successes aid Appealed in a Special Sense to the Imagination of Youthful Readers of Nearly All Nationalities Succumbs to Diabetes. Amiens, France. By Cable. Jules Verne died at 3.10 p. m. His family was at his bedside. M. Verne had been subject to chron ic diabetes but it did not assume a crit ical aspect until March 10. Since then he gradually failed and the end was hastened by a stroke of paralysis cov ering his right side until the tongde nas affected. The sick man retained consciousness until just before bis death, his brain being the last organ to fail. He calmly forsaw death, call ed the members of his family to his bedside, and discussed his departure. Following the announcement of M. Verne's death, telegrams were re ceived from many headquarters. It is expected that the burial will take place hero, where M. Verne has long lived and where his moat notable ro mances were written. Jules Nerne was born at Nantes, France, in 1828. He studied law both at home and in Paris, but never prac ticed. In leisure hours he began writ ting pieces for the stage, and in 1863 his first work. "Five Weeks in a Bal loon," appeared. The quasi-scientific style employed in that romance was so successful that others in similar vein followed, and his series of mar- ! velous romances have made his name almost a household word. His best known works are: "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," "The Mysterious Is land," "A Floating City," "Michael Strogoff," "Adventures of Captain Hatteras," "Dick Sands, the Boy Cap tain," "Around the World in Eighty Days," "A Desert of Ice," "Robur, the Conqueror," and "A Country of Dia monds." An unsuccessful attempt on his life was made in 188G. In 1890 he publish ed his last books. "A Family Without a Name," ai?d "The Purchase of the North Pole." One of the most affecting incidents of his last illness was the great num ber of letters and telegran.s from chil dren of every nationality, attesting the admiration in which the author was held. His works have been trans lated into many languages. Mrs. Chadwick Testifies. Cleveland, Ohio, Special. In the bankruptcy court here Mrs. Chadwick detailed some of her financial trans actions, in the course of an examina tion by Attorney L. J. Grossman, act ing for Trustee Nathan Loesser.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT On tbe Part of Russian Nihilist to Kill Eijh Official A TERRORIST'S ACT IN WARSAW Baron von Nolken, Chief of Police, Has a Deadly Missle Thrown Into His Carriage and is Seriously In jured, But is Likely to Recover A Bomb Had Previously Been Thrown Into the Police Station in Order to Bring the Chief to the Scene Thro'.ver-of the Second Bomb Es capes. Warsaw, By Cable. A bomb was thrown into the carriage of Baron von Nolken, chief of Police of Warsaw, at 8 o'clock Sunday ovening. According to the latest information, the attack on Baron von Nolken was the result of an elalmrate conspiracy of the revolutionary party. Shortly before 8 o'clock tonight, an elegantly dressed man went to the police sta tics at Praga, a large suburb of War saw, on the other side of the Vistula, and threw a bomb into the court yard of the station, wounding seven per sons, two of them dangerously. The man started to run away, but was caught by the captain of the station. He was found to be a Jew, but his identity h?s not been discovered. A telephone message was immediately sent to Baron von Nolken, at the city hall, informing him of the outrage. Baron von Nolken, accompanied by a police official, took a carriage and started immediately for Praga. When passing the castle where the Gover nor General resides, a man standing on the pavement threw a bomb at the carriage. Baron von Nolken, who was sitting on the side nearest the assailant, received the full charge of the bomb, while his companion es caped unhurt. The coachman was thrown from the box and the carriage was slashed. Baror- von Nolken was removed to the city hall and doctors were sum moned, who found he had received injuries which are believed to be seri ous on the head, the right ?.rm and leg. Meanwhile the police official ac companying Baron von Nolken saw the bomb thrower fleeing, and -pursued and caught up with him, but the- crim inal proved stronger and tore himself away. Another policeman fired twico after him vithoi'.t result. Half an hour lf.ter a man was found dead in Sowia street, whom the police believe to be the bomb thrower. The police think the man shot himself to escape arrest. Would Refuse G ft. Columbus, O., Special. Rev. Dr. "Washington Gladden, pastor of the First Congregational church of Col umbus, and moderator of the General Council of Congregational churches of the United States in a sermon deliv ered Sunday, discussed the gift of $100,000 made by a prominent capital ist to the American Board of-Missions. He said: "The money proffered to our board of missions comes out of a colossal estate, whose foundations were laid in the most' relentless rcpacity known to modern commercial history. "The United States government is engaged in a strenuous attempt to fer ret out and punish this injustice." And the people of the United States have a tremendous battle on their hands with the corporation's greed, which has entrenched itself in this strong hold, and has learned to use the rail ways for the oppression and spolia tion of the people. "And now, on the eve of this battle, they are asked to accept a great gift of money from the man who, more completely than any other, represents the system they are summoned to fight. "I hope they are not mean enough to take this money and then turn around and fight him. I hope they are not so faithless to their obligations as to take his money and shut their mouths or become his apoligists. "We do not want this man's money. To accept it will be to work the con tempt of millions of honest men; to reject it will strengthen our Church in the affection and respect of millions who are inclined to doubt whether the Churches love 'God more than mammon. "Our mission will be richer and stronger without it than with It, and we shall lose nothing y our loyalty to the things unseen-and eternal." Killed by Trolley Car. Charlotte, N. Special. Mr. J. F. Swanney, a book-binder about 40 years of age, was run over Saturday at noon by a car of the local street car system here, and instantly killed.

Governor Glenn has written this let ter to every solicitor: "So many requests for rewards are being made, some of which do not seem to be in perfect good faith, that I deem it best to make a rule that no request fo.- a reward will be granted until it receives the endorsement of the solicitor of the district. I there fore urge you, before endorshing an application for reward, to look care fully into the case and see whethei in your judgment proclamation should be issued. Sheriffs, deputies and con stables should be able to apprehend any criminal in their own county, and should see to it that if the person is a fugitive in another county, a capias be issued to tliat county and the arrest be made. Also, if they can locate fugitives in another State, they should ask the authorities of that State to apprehend and hold the criminal until I can make requisition. It is getting too common, for them to take things quietly and ask for rewards, when, by diligent search and inquiry, this cost to the State might be avoided. Having confidence In you. as an offcer of State, I will be gove erned largely by your recommenda tion." Appomattox Programme. The committee in charge of the me morial to North Carolina troops at Appomattox, met and arranged a pro gramme, which may yet be changed somewhat.

Music will be furnished by the band of the Third Regiment, North Carolina Guard: Twelve or fifteen companies of the National guard are expected to be present. Special trains will be run from Ral eigh, Durham, Norlina and Greens boro. No Pardon to Blind Tiger. The Governor declines to grant a pardon to ' John Stevenson, who was convicted of retailing whiskey without license in Guilford county, in other words operating a blind tiger. The Governor has a very great dislike for this particular crime and thinks it a very low sort of business. He made the comment that he believed more convictions of crime resulted from blind tigers than any other cause and that a man convicted of operating such a place would have to bring very strong petitions in order to secure a paron from him. His view, that the illicit sale of whiskey is the ground work qf most Of the crime in the State Is held by not a few observant people. Great efforts were made to get Stevenson pardoned. His wife came here and made a pitiful . plea to the Governor. The latter says he doe3 not want to be hard-hearted, but that his belief is too many pardons are granted. North State News. Insurance Commissioner Young is in the western part of the State making investigations of some suspicious fires He is informed of several fires of this character. His investigations have been very successful in the past and be has succeeded in securing the imprison ment of a number of incendiaries.

Greensboro, N. C, Sfx-cial Vice- honor at a banquet of tbe Tar Heel Club here Wednesday night. The oc casion was one of great brilliance. The Vice-President spoke at lengtb. and said in part: Mr. Fairbank's Speech. Mr. Blackburn and Gentlemen of North Carolina: This Is a somewhat belated cele bration of Washington's birthday. When I accepted your courteous invi tation for the 22d of last February, I fully expected to fill my engagement, vut the exigencies of public business prevented. I urged your committee to permit va to withdraw my acceptance but they chose rather to postpone the banquqet until tonight. I am more than repaid for coming by your most cordial greeting. There is something In Southern hospitalityy which makes the stranger within your gate? feel that he Is at home, or, at least, that, he is a welcome guest. It Is well that the people of differ ent portions of the country should meet and mingle with each other, for the more they come to know each other, the less danger there is of mi understandings and the more certainty there is that they will come into ac cord upon great questions which make for social, material and national growth. I am not here, my friends, to mata a partisan speech, and shall utter no word with respect to those questions which are the subject of sharp par tisan differences. I rejoice with you in the splendid progress made in recent years by the State of North Carolina. Her ad vance has been notable in every avo nue of activity. It has, indeed, been marvelous. New fields of employment bate been opened to her people. Her advance, however, has not been alone in material things, for it has been marked in educational and social con ditions; in those higher walks which should most distinguish the State. 11 seems as though she has been touched deeply by the spirit of improvement. In God's Providence we saw our duty differently a few years ago. We see it the same today. We have faith to believe that never again will there be any cleverage among the people of the United States upon lines of lati tude or longitude. We are co-sharers in the glory won by valor of thos-? who went down to the field and show ed the world the heroic metal of Americans. We are all thankful that he who presides over the affairs of men preserved tbe unity of the repub lic and wiped away forever the insti tution of human slavery. I was with William McKinley one evening at the beginning of the Spanish-American war, when a little gray head, gray-beareed man greeted the President whose name abides with us and will abide wit us forever as t sweet and precious memory. The President received him cordially, and said: "So you want to go to the war, general?" "Yes, Mr. President," said he, "I want to go to the war. I once fought against the fiag, and i wish now, before I die, to fight for it. I love it and honor it." The President manifested his pro found appreciation cf the patriotism and the courage of the. veteran who spoke, and promised to put upon him the stars of a major general in the army of the Union. He kept the promise, and the old Confederate cav alry officer. General Joe Wheeler, marched away to vindicate the. honor of the stars and stripes. General Wheeler was in that .crisis but a type. Others who had fought against the flag, in the long ago, were Inspired by the same high purpose which actuated him, and well demon strated the gratifying fact of our com plete solidarity. Republican government was ordain ed to promote justice; to secure each and all in the fullest possible enjoy ment of equal rights and privileges under the law. Every American must stand before the lawr upon a plane of perfect equality with his fellow Americans. Our laws must be In spired by a sense of justice. Let us teach the leve cf justice at the fire side. In the school room, in tbe pulpit. In the press, in tbe counting hou:e, in the factory. Yes! Teach it every where, for without ,'ustice abides with us, government is a mockery. Let us safeguard the right3 of prop erty; protect that which henest and oatient iadustry'fcas acquired. But, first of all. and better than all, pre serve Inviolate the rights cf men of low and high degree. Political parties are essential in ; popular' government. They have e isted from the earliest days cf tha republic, and they wiy continue to the end. It is of vital importance, therefore, that they should be high minded and patriotic; that they should stand for those measures which are wholesome and whfch tend to adyan'cs to the utmost degree the public weal. They should support sound and 'con servative poli'-ies, which are the only sure foundation of industrial and so cial progress and of enduring national greatness. We should see that parties are kept as liriTQ as we would have the State. They should n' -h over , to oere time-servers, or to these whose allegiance is net first to the pbi:c welfare.

Pursuit at ar. End. t. Petersburg, By CcIe. The Im pression prevallant In yjrne military circles that the Japanese, having re moved the possibility of the main ar my In Manchuria assuming the Initia tive, will now turn their attention la the next objective of the war, Vladi vostok, is strengthened by tbe Jl patrh from Gunshu Pas, announcing tho withdrawal of the Japanese from the Immediate front of the Russian army for a distance of 35 miles south. It is realized, of course, that this may be merely a blind to cover a Sanklng cp ration; but It Is not Improbable that the Japanese, having cleared outhf rn Manchuria of Russian troops and secured a position from whence expulsion would be a long and diffi cult process, may be satisfied to hold the Tie pass line without further ex tension of communication. While the voice of the Emperor's ad visors is for peace If honorable tense are obtainable, the government, as If the part of wisdom. Is going forward with all provisions for the continuant f of tbe war. Preparations are reported to be raakiar for tbe mobilization of five corps.
