On .Mareh 31 at 1U o'clock at night a band of ISO rebels from the interior, armed with guns, parangs, spears and blow-pipeswept down upon the Iltt'e colony at railway station midway between Jessellon and I'ujiar. The hand divided into two parts, one of a hundred remaining concealed as a reserve on the top of a hill, while the other fifty rushed down upon the settlement, butchered the Inmates of the Chinese shops, attacked the railway station, smashed the telephone and killed the wife and child of the station master, the latter saving his life by biding In the bush. The band of murderers turned their attention to the coolies, most of them Chinese, killing and wounding them savagely right and left. The English railway driver was the next victim, a speedy and terrible end coming to him and his wife. Th carnage then became general, males, females and Innocent babes being butchered In the lust for blood.

A SL Petersburg dispatch says: Tbe swift mareh of events at the theater of war the virtual abandonment by the Russians of all their advanced positions along the Manchurian littoral has created a deep Impression among ths people and a feeling of apprehension which the authorities contend Is unwgranted by a calm consideration of tho situation. While not attempting to minimise the Importance of the advantages gained ,hy the enemy In the occupation of the Liao Tung peninsula and the advance from the Yalu river, the general staff nevertheless declares that if It had not been for General Zaasalltch'a rash stand at the Yalu the. retreat and of General Kuropatkln'a my noon it normal lino of defense uld Tare been regarded as ' a masterly piece of strategy. Tbe equanimity of tbe government 1 shown by the free publication of all news telegrams from abroad, some being of a most sensational character. At tbe general staff the one dominant Idea Is that the developments of the last few days make It certain tbat the war will be bitter and long. Tbe real truth seems to be that General KuropatVin has not much over 300,000 men south of Hartfln, and he Is determined to pursue the plan which he mapped at first to allow the enenjy to follow him back Into the heart of Manehurla until strong enough to assume the offensive. con-trati- ropatkln shsuld fclve battle there. Indeed, from tbe signs of his concentration, he may assume the offensive. But for his. defeat at the Yaln river this movement might be very dangerous. Under the existing conditions, however.

At Liao Yang tbe Russians have a central position and can strike either to right or left, an advantage they did not enjoy when New Chuang bad to be defended.

Resolutions Were Killed. The attitude of the Roman Catholic church toward the public school system of the United States furnished n subject of a sensational debate In the Methodist general conference at Loa Angeles. Monday. While there was a strong disposition on the part of certain delegates to have the conference adopt resolutions committing It to extreme utterances upon tbe subject, there was an overwhelming sentiment, as It developed, against any such action nnd the entire maNer waa finally disposed of hy referring it to a committee. from which It is unlikely over to he reported. MAP OF SCENE OF FIRST GREAT -- N UaITlE. d.-s- States That it Would be a Farce to Attempt to Enforce Civil Law Under Present Conditions- I - At Tclliirlde, Colo., on Tuesday. Judge Theron Stevens adjourned the May term of the district court, as San Miguel county is under martial law. No action was taken on the application to make permanent the Injunction granted by the court it Ouray, restraining the Citizens' alliance and mine owners from interfering with tbe return of the Reported miners to their homes In Teiluride. In announcing his decision Judge Theron Stevens referred to the fact that when be came Into town he was forced to walk through flies of soldiers who had been stationed at the depot with orders to arrest deported union men who. It was falsely reported, were returning with the judge. I can only Judge Stevens said: believe from the Indications, from the demonstrations that have been made, from the conditions which seem to exist here, that tbe executive and the military and a portion of the people of this country are willing that this court should be opened and such business transacted as meets the approval of the people; that such orders of the court as meet the approval of the military commander and a portion of the people of the county may be executed, but that such portion of the orders of this court or tho decrees of this court ss do not meet with the approval of the military and the people of this county mey not be executed. Under such circumstances the court would not be in a position to enforce Its lawful orders, or what It conceives to be Its lawful orders. Such being the case. It would simply be a farce to attempt to enforce civil law In this county." HA8 PRINCELY SALARY. Chief Engineer of Panama Canal to Receive $25,000 a Year. Admiral Walker, president of tbe Panama canal commission, has received a telegram front John Findley Wallace of Chicago, general manager of the Illinois Central railroad, as chief accepting the appointment engineer in charge of the construction of the canal. Mr. Wallace will receive a salary of 835.000 a year. In regnrd to the salary to be paid Mr. Wallace, Admiral Walker said that when a man undertakes to direct the construction of tbe Panama canal project it Is necessary for him to burn his ships behind him,' and that' $35,000 Is not too high for a man competent for so important a trust.
