RIGID WAR CENSORSHIP
Dispatches From the Far East
of a Stereotyped Character.
Japanese Control Corea Nearly 80,
000,000 Population Majority For
Municipal Ownership Page Mur
der Mystery -Death of Queen Is.
abella of Spain.
The brief dispatches from tho seal
of war In the Far East appearing
lit the London newspapers durlnfl
tho past few days have all been of a
curiously stereotyped character, Indi
cating that an active censorahlp pr
vails.
This applies particularly to pointi
under Japanese coitiol; but from tin
Russian side also it is eviiftit care Is
being exercised to prevent the news oi
uporatlons leaking out. The Japa
ncue licet continues cruising not fai
distant from Port Arthur.
Eight weeks from the opening o.'
the war sees Japan without any real
fighting, apparently in complete pos
session of Corea and the first stage ol
the campaign ended.
Japanese Fleet Divided.
The London Daily Telegraph's Seoul
correspondent says that he loam;
from a Japanese sailor who par
ticlpated in the attacks on Port Ar
thiir that the Japanese fleet ia divided
Into seven squadrons. Four of these
are watching Port Arthur, the fifth pa
trols the Corean coast and the sixth
and seventh cruise between Vladivos
tok and North Japen.
ItusHia Is building 10 sub-marlnu
boats at the naval mechanical works
and Crichton works, Finland. The re
ports that they will be sent In sections
to Port Arthur and Vladivostok are
confirmed.
General Kuropatkin's announce-ment
that the Japanese have reached W'ljii,
Corea, and the right bank of the Yalu
river, creates no surprise in well-informed
circles, where it Is thoroughly
understood that the Russians have no
intention of making a stand in force
east of the river.
Russians Buried Japanese Officer.
. It Is s.i!d at Toklo that the body of a
Japanese officer found and burled at
Port Arthur is unquestionably that of
Commander Takaso Htrose, who lost
his life in the engagement on March
27 when Vice Admiral Togo nmde his
second attempt to bottle up the port.
The description of the uniform tallies
with that worn by the officers of Hi
rose's rank. The fact that the body
has been missing is further confirma
tory of this.
Tho government deeply appreciates
tho action of the Prussians in giving
tho remains a military funeral, an1
officers of tho nnval staff have re
quested the press to express their ap
preciation of the Russian courtesy.
Russia's Financial Strength.
Regarding the emperor's declina
tion to accept the village contribu
tions towards the war, the Novesti of
5t. Petersburg says that anthorita
tive confirmation Is thus given to the
fact that. Russia has sufficient financial
Btrength to carry on an expensive war
which threatens to last for a long
time. The paper adds that this is r.n
other evidence of the faith which tho
emperor has in the patriotism of his
subjects and that It is proof of his
wish for their welfare.
Covering Landing of Troops.
A correspondent of the London
Times ot Wei Hei Wei cabling under
Friday's date says: .
"The result of a week's cruise leads
me to believe ttiat the Japanese fleet
is engaged in covering arrangements
for a new landing of troona recently
mobilized. A close blockade of Port
Arthur Is not maintained, presumably
because of information regarding the
state of the channel. Certainly up to
the present, no Japanese transports
have entered the gulf of Pe Chi Li."
To Operate cn Defensive.
Tho St. Petersburg Vostoony Ves
tlk's Harbin correspondent says every,
thing' shows that on account of
the unprepardeness It has been de
cided to operate on the defensive. It
is believed that the Japanese will nev
er pass Mukden.
Nearly 80,000,000 Population.
The census bureau at Washington
has just. Issued a bulletin which
gives the estimated population of the
United States for 1903, exclusive ol

Page Murder My6tery.
So extraordinary is tho murder ol
Miss Mabel Pago at Weston, Mas3.,
that State's Attorney General Her
bert Parker, making a move un
precedented in the history of the com
monwealth, took it upon himself to
1-
-r.7-.- rs-
i.m;t, i'ace.
visit the scene of the crime, to make
a closo scrutiny of the premises an !
to examine personally the members ol
the Tage household.
The attorney general declined to dis
cuss Ills investigation. Following the
departure of the sttte officers, the dep
uties with rakes Fcraped over the
ground and raked tho brook near tho
Page house in in effort to find tho
knife with which Miss Pago was
tabbed.
The po'ice worked unceasingly In an
endeavor to strengthen the web of
circumstantial evidence around Chas
I.. Tucker, the Auburndale youth ar
rested at his home, and who wast
arraigned In the Wnltham district
court, charged wlt.h the murder of
Miss Mabel Page a! Weston on March
31st.
It was learned that tho police have
possession of a knife as well as of ti
knife sheath. The sheath is said to
have been found in the flnh cart driv
en by Arthur Woodward, with whom
Tucker rode on the afternoon of the
murder. The police will not tay whoro
the knife was found. The knifo is un
derstood to be of the variety used by
hunters, having a horn handle and a
narrow blade about six inches in
length. The knife will be submitted
to an expert chemist for a micro?
copic examination.
Retail Distribution Increased.
Bradstreet's summary of the state
of trade says:
Events of the week have, for the
most part, been favorable Weather
conditions generally have been spring
like, excej)! in some portions of lha
Northwest.
This has increased retail distribu
tion in the cities, while in the country
districts favorable weather lias helped
farmers in their planting preparations
and improved the condition of winter
wheat.
Collections as yet do not reflect
much, if any. Improvement.
The Iron trade maintains an ap
pearance of cheerful activity. Pi
iron prices show no particular change,
and steel billet prices have been re
affirmed despite efforts to advance the
same.
Cotton goods demand, ns for some
time past. Is backward, and this is re
flected in curtailment of print, cloth
mills at Fall River and of spinning
and weaving machinery at other cen
ters. Business failures for tho week end
ing with April 7 number 201. against
212 last week and 153 in 1903.

a large number of bill's, includ
ing the Philippine shipping bill and
the bill appropriating $175,000 in aid
of the Lewis and Clark centennial ex
position to be held in Portland, Ore.,
In 1905.
Tho only amendment made to tho

peared to bo in Insurrection against

Genera) Bell, through Assistant Dis
trict Attorney David Howe of Tellur

it unsafe to bring Moyer to Ouray or to
reduce tho military force in San Mi
guel county by so doing, and that the
governor had ordered him to disre
gard the writ.
Judge Stevens said: "A very grave
question is presented as to whether It
is the striking miners or the governor
of Colorado n.1.1 the National Guard
that are engaged in insurrection and
rebellion against the laws of the
state.
"If thore is to be a reign of military
despotism in this state and civil au
thority is to have no jurisdiction, the
Inter might as well go out of busl
nesi." Judge Stevens refused to permit the
filing of the return to the writ, order
ed that Charles 'I. Moyer he dis
charged from custody, Issued an orde;
of attachment against General Bell and
Captain Wells, assessed a flue of ?50D

KILLED THE OLD WATCHMAN.
West Indian Negro Confesses Murdsr
of John Thomas.
Philadelphia, April 12. Tho mys
tery surrounding the murder of John
Thomas, the aged night watchman at
the Houston club of the University cl
Pennsylvania Sunday evening was
cleared up by the arrest and confes
sion of Lawrence Gibson, alias John
Oakley, who was for a number of
years employed as a utility man at
Houston hall. Gibson is a West In
dian negro.
Gibson was arrested at his horn 3
early in the day and denied all knowl
edge of the crime until late in the aft
ernoon when he broke down and con
fessed to the murder
Gibson says he wont to Houston hall
to call on Thomas. The watchman,
Gibson says, evidently mistook hira
far a thief and attacked him. In tho
struggle he unintentionally killed the
old man.
The police do not believe the story.
Superintendent of Police Quirk is of
the opinion that revenge for being dis
missed from Houston hall was the
motive for the murder. Gibson, whose
complexion Is so light that he easily
passed as a white man, misrepresent
ed himself as a student at the univer
sity and married a young white woman
three weeks ago.
When the deception was discov
ered he was discharged from Houston
hall. How he expected to get revenge
and his reason for attacking the
watchman, tho police decline to say.
The authorities said that Gibsou is
wanted in Jamaica for some offense.
