JAPANESE WIN LAND BATTLE.
In Their First Clash at Arms With the
Russians the Little Yellow lien Win
Victory.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
CHEFoo, May 2nd.-After all their
boasting OF superiority on land, the
Russians have been signally defeated
in their first important battle with
japanese.
The Russian army, fully 10000
strong, has been driven from Its
chosen positions on the Manchurlan
side of the Yalu river, and is in full
retreat to the interior, leaving dead
and wounded to be cared for by the
victorious japanese.
This japanese victory was achieved
after five days of fighting in which
the losses on both sides we're heavy.
The dead and wounded are VariOusly
estimated. Some accounts place the
Russian loss in killed alone at 1,5OO,
while the japanese death roll, it is
said, will reach l, 600.
The japanese were in every IN
stance Oh the aggressive, the Rus
slams fighting behind Entertainments.
That the japanese did not lose more
heavily is due to the terrible effective
ness of their artillery fire, which de-
moralized the Russians and also to
the skill shown by the Japanese
generals in ordering flank move
meltS.
The japanese advanced on Antung
from three sides. On every point OF
vantage they planted their batteries
and at a given signal fire from many
guns was opened on the demoralized
Russians. The precision of the Japan
csc fire was marvellous and the execu-
ton done was appalling. Entire
companies OF Russians melted away
under the rain of shells. After an
hour of this cannonading the Rus
slams broke and fled by the only
avenue OF escape left to them. Had
they delayed their flight an hour
longer they would have been sur
rounded and either annihilated or
forced to surrender, as a Japanese
column was Fastening to close the
line of retreat.
From the Yalu to Antung the
country is strewn with the impede
ments of the Russian army. The
ground is streWn with guns, stand
ards, knapsacks, dead horses and
dead men.
Among the trophies taken by the
japanese are % cannon, many OF
them quick firing. So swiftly did the
japanese advance that some Ofthese
guns were captured before they could
be fired.
In many instances the japanese
turned the captured guns on the re-
treating Russians and did terrible
execution.
As result of the fighting the Jap
anese have gained control OF the
estuary OF the Yalu and have placed
Port Arthur in such a position that
it's fall is only matter Of a short
time. In fact, the stronghold has
been practically isolated by the sue
cess of the Japanese.

Christian Year---Ascensiontide.
Communicated.

For forty days after the Resurrection
OF our Lord He appeared to His disciples
from time to time, instructing them in
the things pertaining to the Kingdom or
Church of God, and at the end of this
period, gathered them about him and
bidding them ego into all the world and
preach the Gospel to all creation" He
gave them the promise Of His perpetual
presence, saying '.Lo, | am. with you
Away even unto the end of the world"
He lifted up His hands and blessed them
and while He blessed them He was parted
from them and a cloud received Him out
of their sight-or, as it is said by St.
Mark. "He was received up into Heaven
and sat on the right hand OF God"
This, then, is the great fact celebrated
on Ascension Day which falls on Thurs
day next. 1t has an important bearing
upon the Christian life. for it is the proof
of the Fathers acceptance of the work
of Christ, and a sign of our own reception
into the heavens in the day OF His COM
ing again. AS the High Priest of the
Jews entered into the holy place once a
year with the blood OF Sacrifice, so Christ
Jesus entered in once into the Heaven OF
heavens with His own Blood, to present
before God a perpetual oblation for the
sins of the whole world
The angels assured the disciples who
witnessed the Ascension of our Lord that
He would so come again in like manner
as they had seen Him go into Heaven.
Let us thank God for the comfort which
this great festival should bring to us,
and pray that when the Lord shall come
again we may be exalted unto the same
place whittier our Savior Christ is gone
before.

SOME SURPRISED DEFENDANTS.

The conviction of Machen and all
the other alleged postal conspirators
was a great disappointment to the
defendants. Mr. Machen himself is
said to have been "thunderstruck' at
the verdict. Truth to tell, the finding
of the jury will surprise most people
closely. The case made out by the
government was not a strong one.
Indeed, it seems to some Of us that
the government is not trying very
hard to make out case, yet three 81
the prisoners have been sentenced to
terms of three years each in prison
and fines of $4,000.
The jury seems to slightly revers-
ed the old Scotch verdict of Guilty,
but not proven" to not proven, but
guilty" The judgment is what might
be called inferential. Although it was
not definitely and conclusively shown
that Machen and his co-conspirators
actually stole money from the govern
ment the inference that they did was
perfectly natural. However else was
it possible for men who were working
for comparatively small salaries to
lay aside large sums of money every
year, at the same time living extrava-
gantly?
A surprise for both prosecution and
defense was the conviction of Croft,
inventor Of the Croft factener which
has figured so prominently in the hear
ing. The prosecuting attorney in his
closing speech to the jury declared
that he did not expect conviction rs
to Croft. and that he personally be-
lieved this defendant to be innocent.
Nevertheless, Croft was found guilty,
and is in a fair way OF be punishe l
with Machen and the others.
The results Of the trial shows that
the jury was madC up Of men who
Eave no patience with technicalities
They were not necessarily prejudiced
against the defendants but they did
rot feel that it was necessary for the
government to show that certain spe
CITED persons paid over to them GER
tam specified sums of money and to
prove it by individuals who saw the
money transferred.
1t will be a long time, in all proba
biities, before any of the defend
ants go to prison, if ever. Motions for
new trials for arrest of judgement AM
fer appeals have already been filed
The convicted men have frineds in

it that every legal procedure on their
behalf is exhausted before their pun
ishment begins.-Salt Lake Herald.
