St. Petersburg, Feb 23 ?uThe war will end in AugURt or September, in, the complete defeat of the Japanese," said to the Associated Press, a high authori ty in intimate touch with the Russian war plans, whose opinion can be taken faithfully to reflect ^ the belief in the highest official quarters. He added : "IIow the Japanese can hope to succeed when our army in the East is strengthened to a point equal or superior in numbers to that of our adversaries we are honestly unable to comprehend. It will not be difficult to place two, four or even six hundred thousand additional men in the field, if necessary. When our fftrcfla ara (inn/>on(roto^ ? .v. WW w w/uvvubiatcu^ auu ready they will finish by driving the Japanese into the sea. Frankly, it seems to us that the Japanese either have utterly failed to appreciate Russia's resources, or have counted on the aid of Great Britain or the United States, neither of which ever contemplated becoming involved. So far as Great Britain is concerned we do not believe any hallucination existed there. We think the British statesmen who (lid so much to push Japan into war, realized that with Japan's defeat they would accomplish two things for Great Britain? first, to give Russia a ?check, for of course, the war must impede eur progress temporarily; second, to cripple Japan's maritime power, which was beginning to he greatlp felt in the Pacific.'' It can he said with the utmost positiveness that Russia will her time. She will act on the! defensive until she feels confident! that her weight of numbers will leave no doubt as to the result. Reinforcements are going forward at the rate of 3,000 per day. l'robably some time will- elapse before Russia feels fully prepared to assume the offensive. % Thu signature Is on every box of the gonuin? ^ Laxative Bronte-Quinine th? reuedv tbk/ run* ti fold In onn flat I f I'ORT A Rill UK BOTTLED III*. 1 he Japanese have Lost no Ships. Loudon. Feb 20.?The Japanese embassy in London this morning issued an ollicial statement regarding the Japanese attempt to block the entrance to | Fort Arthur harbor on Wednesday morning. The statement I f r\ , I #\ v*r o "Early on the morning of the 24th four old vessels were escorted by some torpedo boats to the entrance of Port Arthur for the j purpose of blocking the mouth of the harbor. The object of sink ing the vessel was attained and tne officers and crows returned in safety. Although there is no report regarding our lleet direct from Admiral Tago, no doubt is entertained regarding its safety." Facts About Hermit Kingdom Korea, the bone of contention, is a small state with an area of 82,000 square miles and a population of 5,600,000 It is governed by an emperor, and normally independent, but for ten years a struggle has been in progress be tween the Japanese and Russians i . i_ I lit sis m wno snail oe me real master of it. The Japanese have the right of maintaining a force of 1.000 men to protect the telegraphs there, which are their property. The Russians have obtained concessions in the north, on the hanks of the Yalu, and are reported to have fortified Yongampho. The stragetic importance of Korea is great. The country is only 115 miles from Japan ; from it Japan draws a great part of her food supply, and to it she sends her surplus poputation. It has two fine harbors. Both have been coveted by the Russians. Korea has an army of 17,000 men. The standing army now consists of about 17,000 men with European methods. In 1898 it was taken in hand by a Russian colonel with three commissioned and ten non-commissioned officers, who retired, however, in 1898. A royal body guard of i 1,000 men was formed and has been well drilled and neriodicallv i - ? ?s h draft of well trained men is transferred from it to the other regiments of the standing army. Yawning Faith Causes Huin. Scranton, 1'a., Feb. 20?One of the most extensive cave-ins that the northern anthracite coal regions have ever experienced occurred in West Scranton early today. It was caused by the set tling of the surface over a vein of the Belleuve collery. The cavein has affected an area of about 40 acres. Several houses have been wrecked and many families have hurriedly removed their household goods to places of safe ty. #i.~ <: ?* t.-~ -1- 5 ??

Boltimore, Md., Feb. 19.?The Baltimore Underwriter, in its issue tomorrow, will print the list of losses of all the fire insur ance companies in the Baltimore fire. The total gross loss is $32,804,894, of which $0,000,000 ..ii i-- i ? > miio ujjuii mo meat companies. The estimated total ol salvage is $1,769,702, which leaves a net loss to the insurance companies ol $31,095,132. It has been learned that many of the large wholesale dry goods houses formed an insurance pool among themselves which amounted to about $5,000,000, from which practically nothing will bo realized. Another development is that very few of the tenants 01 the so called fireproof buildings carried any insurance. At the Chamber of Commerce today merchants reported a cheerful outlook lor the wholesale and jobbing houses, with a surprising amount of business coming here, especially from the South.
