The writer was talking with
a gentleman day before yes-
terday about the weather—
how 'blustering and cold it
was, how disagreeable it must
be for sheppers and what a
disastrOus effect it must have
upon Spring trade.- “Yes,” he
replied, “ it’s cold, chilly and
raw, but it’s HONEST. What
we want is honest weather;
g’then we know just what to
expect. You wouldn’t want
May and June weather in
March, would you ? ”
That can be just as readily
applied to goods—honest
goods; then one knows pre-
cisely what to expect. '

MANCHUEdlel/IPAIGN
First Authentic Advices as to the
Plans of the Japanese.
NODZU IN COMMAND OF ALL.
Dhinese Have Made Only the Most Puerile
Show of Resistance to the Advance
of Their Conquerors—Losses
In Killed and Wounded.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 3.——Advices have
been received by the steamer Rio do J aneiro
from a press correspondent at Tokyo under
date of March 17, as follows:
The plan of the latest campaign in
Manchuria is now clearly explained,
though few important facts are added to
those previously reported. For the first
‘time since the capture of Ping-Yan, the
movements of the Japanese troops are di-
rected by a soldier skilled in the science of
modern warfare and the same leader that
won the earliest of the series of victories
now conducts the operations in the valley
of the Liao river. General Nodzu, promoted
to the highest grade of the army, assumed
control in February of the First division
commanded by Lieutenant General Ya-
maji in addition to his own, the Fifth,
and the Third. of which Lieutenant Gen-
eral Katznra is the chief. His scheme was
to divide the attention of the Chinese
armies in Manchuria and keep them as
far apart as possible, while he concen trat—
ed his forces upon the several points Of at-
tack. Lieutenant General Yamaji was
first ordered to take the field. About 8,000
of his division marched from Kai-Ping on
Feb. 24. seized the strong Chinese position
some 12 miles southeast of Ying-Hao and
by this threatening attitude prevented
General Sung from sending forward any
large number of his troops camped on the
mouth of the Liao river. On Feb. 28
Lieutenant General Katzura with 8,000 of
the Third division started from Hai-
Ching to drive the Manchurian force to-
ward Liao-Yang. For several days it re-
treated in much disorder. and when at a
distance of 18 miles from Hai-Ching, Kat~
zura suddenly turned southward again,
but by another road, which brought them
to Old Newohwang on the 4th Of March.
Meanwhile General Nodzu had crossed
from Hai—Ching to Newohwang in a
straight line at the head of 7,000 of the
Fifth division. A combined assault upon
the city was made March 5 and at 2 o’clock
in the afternoon the northern half was in.
the hands of the Japanese. Several thou-
sand of the defenders belonging to the
army of General Wu fled through 'the
southern gates toward Ying—Kow and Tien-
than-Tai. '
A Disorganized Rabble.
They would have been followed by the
entire body had not the line of retreat been
blocked by a cavalry remnant. The Chi-
nese were new a disorganized rabble. Ap-
parently unaware that they might save
themselves by surrendering, they ran into
the houses and kept up apersistent fire
upon the Japanese until late at night,
when they Were brought to submission by
the blowing up by the Japanese of many of
the buildings in which they had barricaded
themselves: Nearly 2,000 were supposed to
have been, killed and an equal number
wounded or taken prisoners. The spoils
were of great value; Thousands of horses
were found dead, more than enough to sat-
isfy the needs of the whole invading
army. One foreigner. a missionary, still
remained in the city, and his safety was
duly provided for.
While the Third and Fifth divisions
were taking possession of N ewchwang,
the first was moving upon Ying—Kow, far-
ther south. On March 4 a wild and fruit-
less attack was made by General Sung
upon Yamaji with the result that the Chi-
nese were beaten back 'with heavy losses
and were compelled to seek shelter again
inside. the walls of the open port. They
did not long continue undisturbed. Ya-
maji had been waiting only until Nodzu’s
Work at Old Newchwang was finished.
He marched into Ying-Kow on the 7th,
encountered scarcely any resistance, the
enemy having crossed the frozen river the
day before, and joined the mass of fugi-
tives at Ticn—Chwan—Tai. It is understood
that they were allowed to depart unmolest-
ed in order that the American and Euro-
pean residents should not be exposed to
danger. The occupation was at once re-
ported to Nodzu. who had advanced to Kao—
Kan, a. few miles north of Ying—Kow, and
officers were sent to make arrangements
with the consuls and the commanders of
the United States and British ships in the
harbor for the protection of foreign resi—
dents, of whom there were between 3,000
and 4. 000. The arrival of the Japanese
was cordially Welcomed in the belief that
their presence would .put an end to the
anxieties of the past months and bring
about a renewal of intercourse with the
outer world.
Triumphant March Continued.
From Kai-Kan a. large part of the
Fifth division and a brigade of the Third
were sent to cross the Liao on March 9 at
a point just above Tien-Chwan-Tai, and
were stationed at the northwest of the
town. The First division, except one regi-
ment left to guard Ying-Kow. marched to
the east of the same stronghold, in which
all that remained of the armies of Wu and
Sung were congregated together. An as-
sault was made from three directions
early on the morning of the 10th. No de-
fense was attempted, and at 10 o’clock the
Chinese began to pour out on theroad
leading Westward «toward Tien-Chwan-
Tai. Many got away by scattering right
and left, but the course was presently
closed, as at Newchwang, and the major-
ity of those who afterward tried to force a
passage were slain. More than 1.000 dead
bodies were counted within a mile of the
western wall. The losses of the Japanese
lire estimated not to exceed 200 killed and
wounded. 01? the native forces, which at
the beginning of this month held posses-I
sion of the vast plain through which the
Liao river runs. hardly a vestigo now re-
mains. The fragments may perhaps be re-
united, but they cannot be made formida-
bEto their own harassed cou'ntryin'eh. ne-
ports of the death of both Wu and Sung
are circulated, but not yet verified. The
only Japanese officer of high rank” injured
is Colonel Sato of the Third division, who
received a slight wound in the shoulder
while leading his troops to the assault on
N ewehwang.
Shortly after the Japanese entered Tien-
Chwan-Tai flames broke out in several
places andin spite of all endeavors to sub-
due them the greater part of the town was
destroyed.
A body of 1,000 armed Chinese is devas«
tating the eastern district of Ching-King
province, just beyond the Japanese lines
north of Feng-I-Iwang, or Hong-Hwong.
A battalion of cavalry has been sent to
disperse the maraudcrs.
An Official list of Chinese killed and
wounded up to the time just preceding the
expedition to Wei-I-lai-Wei has been pub-
lished by the native newspaper Shen Pao.
It acknowledges 6, (360 killed, 9,000 wound-
ed and 1,200 prisoners.
The report that the imperial headquar-
ters would be transferred to some place on
the continent gains strength. The em—
peror earnestly desires to join his armies
before they return home, but the majority
of the ministers discourage the step. .
The Japanese Demands.
' ST. PETERSBURG, April 3.—-‘A telegram
received here from a Chinese source says
that the bad weather, the sickness among
the Japanese. troops and the overflow of
the rivers have rendered a continuance of
the war cxtremely‘difficult. It is added
that this produced a favorable effect upon
the peace negotiations, but the hopes of a
speedy conclusion of peace are weakened
by the Japanese demand for the session of
a portion of Manchuria, a war indemnity
of 700,000,000 yen, and, pending full pay-
ment of this indemnity, that Peking be
occupied by the Japanese troops.
A WHITE GAP OUTRAGE.
The Visitors llIade a. Negro and His \Vife
Beat Each Other.
MARTIN, Tenn, April 3.—News roaches
here of a White Cap raid near the Cane
creek church, about ten miles southwest
of Martin. A negro named Will Metlock,
who lives on the farm of James Olive,
Was aroused at a late hour at night. He
got ,up and opened the door. when 12
masked men filed into the room and with-
out ceremony pro‘eeeded to give Mctlock
a terrible whipping.
They then made the negro whip his
wife unmcrcifully and in turn forced her
to whip her husband. after which they
told the negro he would be given ten days
in which to leave the neighborhood, with
threats of his life if he failed to leave.
The men then left. .
The community is very much wrought
up over the occurrence, but no clew as to
who the maraudcrs are can be learned.
The cause for the negro’s punishment is
not known.

Afflicted With Rheumatism.
Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn,

but was drawn over on one side. I tried
different remedies without receiving an
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain s
Pain' Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
gone and has not returned since. I have
sincerecommended it to others and know
they have been benefited by its use. For
