81. Petersburg, July 9.--The war Of
tice confirms the report Of the Japan
enc advance toward Kai Chou as re-
ported. but Ia inclined TO regard the
movement as demonstration In the
south while the Japs are changing the
position Of their troops to make an
attack elsewhere.
Danger is thought to be more likely
from the direction OF the Ia or Fen
shut passes. although there "a no sign
cf any movement In force there. The
advance upon Kai Chou extends over
front or Is miles and includes about
$4,000 men.
The military expert of the Russky-
jad vledomostI believes that Kuropat-
kin has now decided to accept gem
eral engagement near Lao Chang.

Dry Roads Will Preeipitate Crisis, st.
Petersburg Experts Say.
st. Petersburg, July S.--1:25 p. m.l
With the return OF three days OF
fine weather. drying the roads at the
theater of war. the military authOri-
ties here are once more inclined to be-
lieve in the probability OF heavy fight
ing, and even in the possibility Of a
general engagement. The Japanese coll
umns appear again to be pushing for
ward at all points, but the strategic
plan of the Japanese, as well as the
location OF their main force and the
place where their chief blow win be
struck. whether at al Chou. Hal Cheng,
Liao Yang or even at Mukden, are still
puzzling the Russian authorities.
In general way. the Japanese seem
to be withdrawing their pressure
southwest of Kai Chou and Lao Yang,
but to be maintaining it northeast, as
If contemplating a combined attack on
Tai Tche Kiao and Lao Yang. The
success of the Japanese fianking OPP
erations Is disconcerting the Russians.
One by one the passes in the noun
tains, which the Russians had fortified
in advance with infinite projections,
have been attacked by the Japanese,
who have always managed. by the
roads not marked on the maps, to cir
cumvent the Russians. When oper-
ating along the interior lines, with the
railroad to facilitate the movement Of
troops, the Russian general stan be-
lieves this fine quality of the Japanese
win disappear, and that when the Jap
anese debouch into the plains the Rus
SLAMS, who are accustomed to ma
neuvering in a fiat country. win be
completely at home.

THE FLOOD SITUATION.
The Conditions Are Improving in
Michigan, But in Indiana the
Outlook Is Serious.

Detroit, Mich, April Flood con-
ditions all over Michigan are steadily
improving, and 1t is thought that all
danger from high water is over in the
state. Rain fell in the Saginaw valley,
but it has not had any effect on the fall
of the rivers in the valley. At Grand
Rapids the river continued to fall dur
ing the night, and conditions showed
very material Improvement. Five lives
have been lost and probably upwards of
five million dollars worth of damage
to property has been done by the flood
in the state.
Indianapolis, Ind, April Heavy
rains have increased the flood danger
In the southwestern part Of Indiana.
Vincennes. Mt. Carmel, New Harmony,
GRANVILLE, Princeton, Evansville, West
Port and all of Lawrence county, Illi-
nois, are suffering from the high water.
West Port has been completely
abandoned. Hundreds of refugees are
living in schoolhouses and barns. Live
stock is quartered in haylofts and rail-
road traffic is at a standstill. The Bel
grade levee broke in another place. The
great fill at Hazleton, which was con-
structed at a cost of 5000, 900, was
swept away.
Wabash river is eight miles wide west
of Princeton. One hundred and sixty
people have been rescued, and are
camped in the fair grounds. Forty thou.
sand acres of wheat will be lost in south
western Indiana. Thus far eight lives
are known to have been lost in the
floods and the property loss is estimated
at $4,000.
Crestline. O., April ALI the lover
districts in Crestline and vicinity are
under water, and for the second time
within a month in nearly half a CEN

New York, April 2.-Sidney Johnston
Hayden, of the Hotel Holley, yesterday
jumped to the street from the top floor
of the History skyscraper at Broadway
and New street. Nearly every bone
in his body was broken. Hayden went
into one of the unoccupied Offices on
the top floor Of the New street side,
raised window, laid an umbrella he
carried on the ledge and at once crawled
out and jumped. His body made one
full turn backward and struck the
pavement with fearful force. Most of
the persons who were passing in the
street ran away in horror.

ton, and evidently does not think it
necessary to furnish facts and figures
to refute the claim. Ex-Judge, Thayer,
