NEXT BIG BATTLE.
Baron Hayashi Thinks It VIII oc-
cur at Lao Yang.

London, MAY. 9.-Baron Hayashi, the
japanese minister here, looks for the
next engagement of the war to take
place at Lao Yang. He said today
General KurOki probably is on the
march 10 that place and General Kuro-
patkin should give battle there. IN
deed. from the signs Of his COncentra-
ton, he may assume the offensive. But
for his defeat at the Yalu river this
movement might be very dangerous.
Under the existing conditions. however
General Kuroki ought to be able to
drive back General KurOpstkin- AT
Lao Yang the Russians have a GEM
tral position and can strike either to
the left or right, an advantage they
did not enjoy when New Chuang had
to be defended In the event of our
occupation of New Chuang we shall
Immediately appoint a civil admiuistra-
tor, as we did at the time of the war
with China and open the port TO all
nations.
"Vice Admiral Togo, 7 think, is now
likely to dock part of his fleet and give
the men a rest from the ceaseless vigil
they have. kept up since the beginning
OF the war. Our land advance and
part of the impending engagements
must largely depend on the commits
sariat. This I hardly think is yet able
to cope with a forward movement, say
on Mukden, Hardin or VladivOstOk.'

SPACE HAS BEEN
APPORH0NEO
YItimatum Issued by WOrId' 5
Fair Directors.
EXHIBITS MUST BE THERE
OTHERWISE SPACE WILL BE
FORFEITED.

st. Louis, Mo, May 9-There is now
no allotted space ia any of the WorId's
fair buildings that is NOT. occupied. with
the exception of the reservations for
exhibits from Russia and Argentine
republic, according to the statement of
exhibits are en- route to ST. Louis and
the exposition mana cement was noti-
ned by cable only last Saturday that
Russia would finally participate with
exhibits. WOrkInen were put TO work
today in the varied industrials building
to prepare the space allotted 10 Rus
STA and have it in readiness for quick
installation of the exhibits. 1T is
stated that Russia and Argentine re-
public viii have their exhibits installed
By June /. With these two exceptions,
the ultimatum has been issued that
exhibits must either be fully installed,
or the exhibitors must show that they
are making satisfactory progress i'm in
stallation by May II. or the space al
Iotted viii be forfeited.
Pennsylvania Was First.
The first carload Of exhibits. to reach
the Worlds fair for installation was
the Pennsylvania pOsUOffiCe car which
was delivered at the grounds on Oct.
-, 1908. From that time until O'cI0ck
this morning, 4.833 cars of exhibits had
enclosure. Almost / 900 cars are Yet
expected. Traffic Manager c. Il. Hill
lery Of the exposition made the state
ment that while the total nUmber of
cars of exhibits is less than the total
number delivered to the Columbian ex-
position, the capacity of freight cars
has been tripled over the capacity of
cars of eleven years ago, and conse-
quently d larger amount OF exhibits
has been installed iu the louisiana
Purchase exposition than was intaIled
a the former. Reports have been cur
rent that shipments We're unnecessarily
delayed in reaching the Worlds fair
grounds after arriving at the terminal
yards in East St. Louis and st. Louis,
This is emphatically denied by Traffic
Manager Hilery.
