Greensboro. N. C, Feb. 19th. The
last one of the students of the Greens-
boro Female College, which was bum
ed yesterday left for home today, with
the exception of a few who will remain
here some days visiting friends and
relatives. Whatever may be the im
pression outside as to the fire "termln
atlntr the historv of the college," that
belief is not at all entertained here.
When the board of trustees of the two
conferences and the Alumnae Associa
tion meet next Tuesday, there will
undoubtedly be presented to them co
gent reasons and practical arguments
whloh will culminate in immediate
steps towards re-habilltatingthe prop
erty and continuing the college on its
career of usefulness.

Paris, Feb. 19. A representative of
the Matin, who has reached the center
of the Russian military concentration
at Harbin, after great hardships due
to the trans-Siberian railway trains'
being crowded with thousands of sol
diers, in a dispatch dated from Harbin
yesterday, confirms the announcement
that that place will be the main base
of the Russian land operations. Thus
far the base has succeeded in-main
taining its communication with Port
Arthur. The concentration of troops,
the correspondent says, proceeds sys
tematically, and provision has been
made for the speedy arrival of 120,000
men from the divisions of Moscow,
Kleff and Varsovie. Before twelve
days shall have elapsed the Russians
wjll have disposed of an army of
400,000 men through Manchuria.
London, Feb. 19. The government

equipped with new twelve-inch wire
wound guns, and arms and ammuni

France, but also Spain and Italy, are
actively preparing for emergencies.
It is believed that Italy fears Austria's
Mntentions on the Adriatic.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 19. It is re-
Eported that two regiments of Russian
