Since the beginning of the War, and np to the 12th of this month, the War Department of the Russian government had dispatched 761,4«7 men, 13,087 of ficers. 146,408 horses, 1.521 field gnns, and 116,821 tons of amunition and food to Manchuria; which with the Karri son of Port Arthur made an army of over 800,000 men,fully equipped and supplied. Now Russia's whole effective force there is believed to be less than 800,000. Half a million Russians have been kill ed, wounded, made prisoners or become ■iok in a war lasting a little over a year —a terrible record. On the water their entire Eastern fleet, including some of the finest battle •hips afloat, Has been destroyed, except ing two Cruisers in the harbor of Vladi-1 vostock, and a few battle ships and torpedo boats, which ran into neutTal harbor? and were dismantled. The Baltic fleet is somewhere on the Indian ocem:and the last heard of the Jap fleet, it was In the straits of Malacca—a part of the usual water route between the West and the East—though the Russians may perfer going via the ■trait of Sunda, or they might reach Yladivoatock by circling around Australia. On Thursday last the Russian govern ment ordered Gen. Linevitch to make a stand on the Snngari river at all the line to extend from the railroad crossing to the mountains west of Kirin, a distance of about fifty miles; and about a hundred miles south of Harbin, Reinforcements at the rate of • regiment a day were arriving at Har bin. The Jap. column was continuing its advance on the road to the west of the railroad, and they were said to be filling np their ranks with Mongols and Lamas, and receiving reinforcements from Japan. Another Jap column was * headed for Kirin, and are due" there April 10th. The country to the north of the posi tion designated by the Russian govern ment is, a level plain, on which the Russians would have no advantage; and if they cannot make a successful stand there. Harbin and Vladivoetock, and practically all of Manchuria will be in the possession of the Japanese. On Monday the Japs seemed to have relaxed their pursuit, and Gen. Line vitch's scouts reported no Japs within thirty miles, but the Russians were fearing a wide turning movement, and were wondering what had become of Kawamura's army. Yesterday it was reported that the Russian government had asked Minis ter Delcasse of France to secure terms of peace from Japan. Richard H. Little of the Chicago Daily News, Francis McCullagh of the New York Herald, M. Nadeau of the Journal de Paris, and Baron Kriegiatein of the Berlin Kokal Anzeiger arrived at Kobe, Japan, as prisoners of war on the Awa Maru, last Friday, having been captured by the Japs at Mukden. They say the battle of Mukden was a splendid affair on the Russian side, as well as on the Japanese. Several villages were taken and retaken four times. The newspaper men were surprised to learn the Russians had not asked for an armistice or made peace proposals. They aay Russia's poeition in the neld is hope less; that Kuropatkin lost all bis heavy gnns and the railway line. This morning dispatches indicate that both armies in the far East are prepar ing for another battle. It is reported from St. Petersburg that the Czar at tempted suicide. HAREISBURG. Gov. P. vetoed the bill creating two new courts for Allegheny Co., and re fuses to sign a Greater Pittsburg bill with a lipper clause in it. The bills taxing oil and coal will probably die in Committee. Washington X otes. President Roosevelt has announced that the present status quo will be maintained in San Domingo, pending the final disposition of the treaty. Pressure by foreign creditors and the inauguration of a revolution caused President Morales to plead for the in stallation of an American agent to col lect the revenues of the country and disburse them. Minister Dawson noti fied the state department of the urgetcy of the case and the president directed acceptance to the Dominican proposal, which involves a virtual protectorate over the Morales government for the present This is aimplv meeting the obligation of this government to its own citizens and to its weak neighbors. First of all, it is in maintenance of the Monroe doctrine, and second, it is an acceptance of the only course that will sustain that American policy without risking a collision at arms with one or «Wre of the powers of Europe. ACCIDENTS. Fred Kummer's horse became fright- I ened. Monday morning and ran the bug gy against a telegraph pole, throwing Fred ont and bruising him. Conductor Haws and Flagman Wag- j ner were injured at Branchton, last Saturday, by the collision of parta of a parted freight train and both were tak en to the Mercer Hospital. Mr Wag ner is a son of W. S. Wagner of Elm St. Butler. An Italian named Manzino was kil led by a flying rock which struck him on the side, while blasting at the stone quarry at W. Winfield; last Friday night. Emma Lenzi and Romulo Mazzona. 9 and 10 years old respectively, Italian children, wandered into the woods near Freeport, Monday, and ate roots that they supposed were sweet myrrh. In a short time they became very sick The girl died before a physician could be summoned. The little boy's life was saved by the use of a stomach pump. It is supposed the children ate wild parsnip, which resembles the sweet myrrh and which is a deadly poison. William Moon, aged 30 years, was killed by a fall of rock in the Sheridan mine in Clay twp., last Thursday. He was "pulling stumps" at the time, and his body was crushed to a jelly. He was a son of George Moon, leaves a wife and one child, and intended quit ting work at the mine and going to Ell wood, this week, where he was promis ed a position on the police force "Pulling stumps" is the miner's ex pression for taking out the pillars of coal that are left to support the roof. It is a profitable but dangerous job for the miner. Mrs. W. F. Marshall of Fourth St. fell Monday and broke her wrist. Grange Meeting. John R. McJunkin, Esq.. is the oldest member of the order of P. of H. of Forest Grange No 370 and by reason of the infirmities of old age and a hnrt that he received in an accident by being thrown out of a buggy some years ago has prevented him from attending the meetings of the Grange. So the mem bers decided to hold a surprise grange meeting at his home, which they did on Wednesday, March 22nd. the hour of ten thirty was the time arranged for the meeting and at that time the people commenced to arrive until his large and commodious house was filled with grangers And while the members were discussing various topics of farm life and the prospects of the candidates for the nomination of the different of fices for the county the lady members retired to the dining room and arranged the table for dinner, having brought well filled baskets with them, and in due time dinner was announced, and after a blessing was invoked, we pro ceeded to appease our appetites with the good things set before us. Dinner being over an organization was effected by electing R. C. Thompson, president, and N. F. Bartley, secretary. The meeting was commenced by singing, "Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love," after which Harlan Book invoked the divine bless ing. Addresses were delivered by N. F. Bartley, W. J. Stoner, Harlan Book, J. R. Mclunkin, R. C. Thompson, Mrs. E. Z. Bartley and Miss Eva McJunkin. Mr. McJunkin thanked the people for their presence and gave them a press ing invitation to come again. After singing, "God be with us till we meet again", we bid Mr. McJunkin and daughter Eva good bye, feeling that the day had been well spent. N. F. BARTLEY, Secy. Connoquenessinpr Institute. The Teachers' Institute held in Con noquenessing, Saturday, March 18, from 1:00-4:00 and 7:30-10:00 p. m., was well attended. Many friends from far and near assembled with ns that day We had excellent instructors and feel sure we had the best Local Institute ever held in Butler county. Carl Christie of this place, a student of the Butler High School, with a bright intelligent look on his face, gave the "Address of Welcome," which was very effective and well expressed: and was roagoTidofl to by Harry Fly Ire. «. teacher of Connoqriehessing twp., who made a very interesting response. A. W. Kelly of Eau Claire, talked on "Literature,"andcertainly made a deep impression on the minds of all who were present. R. F. McMeekin of Chicora gave a very effective and interesting talk on "Teacher's Professions." Prof. T. M. Wright of Evans City gave a general talk along educational lines. R. S. Penfield of Chicora told us how to use our moral forces which was very instructive to the pupils. Rev. Hugh Leith of Zelienople i la pressed on the minds of all the "'True Aim of Teaching." A good talk on accuracy was made by Mr. Cashdollar of Callery. showing very plainly that for one to obtain a good education he must be accurate. With all these good instructors we had with us County Supt. Painter, who gave an interesting talk concerning the "Township High School." We also had some good singing by a few young psople of the town. At 10:00 P- M. the crowds retired with the smiling countenance of their "chairman" meeting them face to face the whole way home. W.

Oil and Gas Notes. —The Market—Both agencies made a cnt of 3 cents, Saturday morning, making the price SI.BO. Clinton twp—The Butler Plate's gas ser on the Samuel Love came in good, Monday. About 100 pounds from the 100 foot. Wonderful Kansas—P. C. Boyle of the Derrick is quoted as saying "The world has never seen anything to compare with the development in the fields of Kansas and the Indian Territory." "Not alone has it opened a new era in the business, but the discoveries there and farther south have demonstrated the possibility of finding oil almost any where between Nedosba. Kan,, and the tiulf of Mexico. Ido not say that oil can be found anywhere, but there is rea son to suspect that the whole of that vast territory lies in the 'pan' and may be washed out." Prospect—Tne well on the Webber farm had a showing of oil, and there is talk of drilling on the Lyman Kennedy. Oakland—The Oakland Oil Co. drill ed in its No. 2on the H. W Wick farm Monday night, and have a4O bbl. well with no saltwater. W. H. MOORE, president of the Na tional good Roads association, con structed an oil road near Keokuk, la., a few years ago, and declares it almost,if not quite.as satisfactory as a macadam ized roadway, though it costs not more than half as much, using oil at a higher price than that at which it can now be obtained in Kansas. Mr. Moore describes the process as building np a round-top earth road, which is rolled firmly, harrowed on the surface sprinkl ed with 250 barrels of oil to the mile and rolled again. This should not be used for two or three days after the last roll ing. The road will then "shed water like a duck's back," Mr. Moore says, and becomes almost as hard, smooth and durable as an asphalt pavement. He thinks the lime in Kansas soil will make more than ordinarily good oil roads. CIIUItCII NOTES. A call has been extended by the Deer Creek U. P. Church to Rev. Mclsaacs of Pittsburg.
