RUSSIA'S NEW COMMANDER
General Linevitch Takes Place of
General Kuropatkin.
SECOND PACIFIC FLEET SAILS
Russian Retreat Hastened by Con-
tinuous Rear Guard Acticn—Rus-
sians Resisting Stubbornly.
Dispatches from the front briefly
announce that Gen. Linevitch has as-
sumed command, and that Gen.
Kuropatkin departed for St. Peters-
burg. Gen. Linevitch will have a
considerable accession of fresh troops
in a day or two the Fourth European
corps being now at Harbin and de-
parting southward.
Military officials here declare there
are now 268,000 men at Gen. Line-
vitch’s disposal in Manchuria, and it
is believed this force will be suffic-
ent to cause the Japanese to exer-
cise greater caution in their pursuit.
Prince Hilkoff, who will leave St.
Petershurg soon to prepare the Siber-
‘ian railway for forwarding the new
levies which have been determined
upon, said yesterday there had been
no breakdown as yet, aad he hoped
as soon as navigation opened 10
transport one-fourth of the outgoing
soldiers by the rivers and relieve the
railroad to that extent.
The rear guard action is continu-
ing almost wainterruptedly. Soldiers
wounded in the last fight to the
ber of 1,700 were dispatched
from Tie pa arch 15. The morning
f March 15 the Japanese made their
principal attack on Russian left,
and in the evening attacked the right
also.
It is reported that several columns
of Japanese infantry with cavalry are
moving north a considerable distance
west of the railway, with the inten-
tion of cutting the Russians from the
base. It seems evident that the’ ad-
vance movement of the Japanese has
continued for a long time, and per-
haps uninterruptedly. The Russians
though fatigued with three weeks of
constant fighting, are offering a stub-
born résistance in their withdrawal,
though not attempting to hold a posi-
tion which is naturally open to a
turning movement.
The wagon trains are gradually be-
ing brought into order, but
carts are missimg, including those car-
the
rying private supplies of food. The
distributing depot, which has done |
much good work at Kaikuvan, will]
leave today for the north.
The Russian second Pacific squad-
ran left Nossi Be the afternoon of |
March 16. Its destination iS not
known.

GOVERNOR ADAMS OUSTED.
Peabody Declared Elected on Prom.
> ise to Resign.
James H. Peabody won his contest
for the office of Governor of Colora-
do, from which he retired January
10, after serving a term of two years,
but his victory was achieved only
after he had given his pledge to re-
sign and surrender the chair to
jeutenant Governor Jesse F. DMec-
Donald, Republican. Governor Pea-
body took over the office of Governor
from Adams -this evening.
The vote in joint convention of the
General Assembly, by which Governor
Alva Adams, Democrat, was ousted,
and Governor Peabody, Republican,
installed, was 51 to 41. Ten Hepub-
licans' voted with the Democratic
members of Adams.
While the Republican majority on
joint ballot is 35, it was found impos-
sible to gain for Peabody enough
votes to reinstate him Governor for
the term ending in January, 1907.
Finally the leaders ot the opposing
Republican factions arrange a com-
promise by which Peabody woutd be
vindicated by being declared elected,
and McDonald would be made Gover-
nor.
Jesse F. McDonald was born in
Ashtabula, O., in 1858, and was for a
long time a resident of Pennsylvania.
He came to Colorado in 1879, and
has extensive mining interests in
Leadville and elsewhere.
By throwing out 104 precints in
Denver the Assembly gave Peabody
a plurality over Adams.

FATAL EXPLOSIONS IN MINE
Flames Leap from Top of Shaft
Telling of Death Within.
VICTIMS NUMBER TWENTY-FIVE
Ruched Headlong Through Gaseous
Chambers in Effort to Reach the
Bodies of Their Comrades.
As the result of explosions in the
Rush Run and Red Ash mines near
Thurmcad, W. Va., 24 men are dead
in the two mines. Ten of these were
killed in an explosion Saturday night
and the other 14 were members of a
rescuing party who entered the mine
Sunday morning to secure the charred
and blackened remains of their fellow
workmen. These latter were killed by
a second explosion and after damp.
Both mines are operated by the New
River Smoiless Coal and Coke com-
pany.
The first explosion was caused by a
“naked” flame coming in contact with
miae gas. The flames leaped from the
drift mouth and set fire to everything
in reach that was not blown from

The great drum by which the load-
ed cars are run from the drift mouth
down the incline to the tipple and the
empties drawn up was blown from its
moorings and down the mountain side,
while the drum house caught fire and |
was consumed. The cars that stood
| at the mouth of the mine were blown
far down toward the tipple and much
of the track of the incline was de-
stroved. The rails were twisted and
| the cross ties whipped from their
{ beds in the ballast and sent sccerched
and charred maay yards away. The

was so damaged that it was several
cfore it could be repaired and

A rescue party was formed and
about .29 men entered the mine in |
ch of the bodies of those who had
perished at the firt explosion. |
The men explored the mines for
two or three hours, puttsag up brat- |
|
|
scar
| tices so that pure air should follow:
them - wherever they went. Finally |
some of them came out and reported |
| that the others were too careless |
in going forward faster than the good |
air was being supplied carrying at
the same time a “naked” light.
At 3:45 another awful explosion oc-
curred caused by the gas coming in
contact with the ‘“aaked” flame of a
miner’s lamp and 14 more souls were
launched into eternity. This explos-
ion was not so forceful as the former,
but the more awful in its effects and
was followed by a shorter, thinner
tongue of flame.
The names of those killed Sunday
so far as obtainable, are as follows:
Crockett Hutchinson, Boyd county,
Ky.; machinist.

A shortage of cars on eastern rail-

that the fear of traffic congestions re-
