Ollice .id -lined to confirm a report that
France was likely to be intermed

interested, for the first time gave cred

Needs LC0,OCO More Men.
(lusliu. My Cable. 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

actions, in the course of an examina
tion by Attorney L. J. Grossman, act
ing for Trustee Nathan Loesser. Mrs.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT

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."

The Right Thing "at Last.
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

major general commanding the United
Confederate Veterans of Virginia, will
be present in command of that body
and will take an active part in the

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.

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. Ee good party men, but be j

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.

visors is for peace If honorable tense

burg; but sotte of the officere of this
organisation have been requisitioned,
