Advance of Mikado' S
Troops Proceeds
Satisfactorily.

LONDON, March 11-Neither the
Official nor the Independent dispatches
published this morning add much
knowledge to the progress of the war.
Speculation regarding the military
situation on the Yalu River is most
keen, but no news Of a reliable char
acter has been received.
The Nagasaki correspondent of the
Daily Express asserts that 100000
troops have been shipped from Japan,
and that a portion of the Second Army
Corps is now on its way to Korea.
The Toxic correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle, evidently referring to the
same movements. cables that the
transportation to Northern Korea OF
three divisions Of Japanese troops has
been completed and that these men
are beginning to advance, while ten
divisions of the Second Army Corps
have already been modified.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says that the Rus
slams are now moving northward in
Korea, with the intention of making
Wiju their defensive base.
A correspondent Of the Daily Tele-
graph, who was in Japan recently
wires from Seoul that the Japanese are
making steady progress with theil
land movements.
According to a Tientsin correspond
ent of the Standard the Russians are
withdrawing all their superfiuous
troops from Port Arthur to Harbir
and Kirin because of the shortness OF
provisions and because it is doubtful
whether they would be able to hold
either Port Arthur or Newchwang

DENIES THAT HIS FATHER
is MENTALLY AFFLICTED
Foundation for Report Circulated
i'm the House of Commons.

LONDON, March 10.-Former Co
lonial Secretary Chamberlain is at
present on a trip up the Nile. 1t is
therefore impossible to accurately
state the condition of his health, but
the last advices from him said he was
in excellent health. The rumors in
the Commons yesterday that he was
suffering from softening of the brain
would appear to be unfounded.
Austen Chamberlain, the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer, authorizes the
statement that there is absolutely no
foundation for the report that his
father is mentally afflicted.

The Tables Turned

A story is told of a high Indian Off
Ger who was in the habit of soundly
thrashing his servants when they dis
pleased him. One day he ordered his
khanSamah to go to summer house in
the compound and wait for him there,
presently turning up with a heavy
horsewhip. He then addressed the Of
fender:
Now you scoundrel, I've got you in
place where no one can hear, and III
just thrash you within an inch of your
life.'
The servant, though man Of power
full physique, squirmed, native-Iike.
"Sah, you sure no one can hear!"
Eyes, you scoundrel; I've brought you
here on purpose!'
'"Then, sab, l think l thrash YOU"
And he did it so thoroughly that his
master was not visible for week.

The Humorous Suahfana.

Next to the Americans" said Max
Nordau, II think that the Suabians are
the most humorous people in the world.
A Suabian if he has nothing funny to
say keeps silent. Stupidity is unknown
among this race.
"One night in Suabia in my early
youth l called on a Suabian maiden.
She was very pretty. Perhaps stayed
longer than should. Suddenly, at any
rate. the young girls mother called in
a loud voice from upstairs:
"'Gretchen! Gretchen!'

which We're of class to compete direct

ply was unexpectedly large. Most of
the common and medium steers sold

Hogs.
There was great falling off in arr
rivals so far this week, owing to the
decline in prices. Early sales We're
brisk at stronger to cents higher.
Receipts of hogs for opening market
of the week We're genuine surprise
to the trade. Saturday estimates gem
orally favored not less than $4,000 and
ran from that to as high as 10000.
Actual receipts for the day were not
above 1900, but the holdover stock
made the number actually on sale, close
to $4,000 With this light fresh run
and a fair shipping demand. the selling
interest was able to force an advance
Of fully 10 cents over Saturday prices.
The big packers did not take hold
freely at the advanced prices, but the
butcher and shipper demand seemed to
be fairly equal to the supply of useful
grades of hogs at the advance.
Quality of hogs was pretty good. Az
erage weight last week was o37 pounds
against 235 for the previous week and
24s for the same week last year.
OF the 1882 hogs received last
week there were 2s,09S bought for east

30. 500 bought for local slaughter.

nand at steady prices.
