Good Prices For Western Cattle.

In special letter to the PRESS, rela-
tive to the outlook of the Chicago mar
ket for range cattle during the coming
season, Messrs. Rappal Bros. & Co., of
Chicago, say:
"The prospects for good cattle mar
ket after midsummer are luminous, and
we are very optimistic regarding the out
look tor western stock. The free liqui.
dation of beeves still continues, and the
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin,, Missouri and
Nebraska feed lots are seemingly being
rapidly cleaned out. The past winter
has been disastrous one for middle.
western feeders and shippers in general.
the high price of corn and the low range
OF values has put many livestock men
out of business, and there are compare.
lively few cattle being put on feed for
the summer and fall markets. Indeed,
traders predict that there will be sur
prising scarcity of native cattle during
the coming season, and we are constrain.
ed to the opinion that there will be
healthy advance in range cattle values.
Everything points to an exceptional
ly good market for western sheep the
coming season, as the southern ranges
have been and are very dry, and the out
look is very poor for fat sheep from that
sectiOn.n

telegram from Major General Plug,
chief of the military staff:
According to the information

"On the morning of May S, the
Japanese began to land at Pitsewo,
and on the coast near Cape Terminal,
about fifteen miles southwest of Pitse-
wo, under cover of artillery fire.
'At this moment about sixty trans
ports were observed bearing down up
on the whole front and our posts re-
tired from the shore.
"All papers In the postoffce at Pit
sewo were removed and the Russian in
habitants abandoned the town.

GET NO PARTICULARS
BUT RUSSIANS REJOICE OVER
NEWS THAT PORT ARTHUR
ROAD IS oPEN.

st. Petersburg, May 1.-THE most
important official news from the front
is that of the complete re.establish-
ment of railroad and telegraphic COM
munication with Port Arthur, though
how 1t was brought about and whether
a battle was necessary to accomplish
1t are mysteries which Viceroy Alex
Jeff failed to clear up.
The elation of the authorities,
natural consequence of this achieve
ment, is sobered by official dispatches
showing the activity of the Japanese
in Eastern Manchuria. Huangtiang-
sal, fifty miles northeast of Fenghuan.
cheng, was occupied by the Japanese
May 5. This enables an advance
along the bad roads to the flank either
at Liaoyang or Mukden. The terri
tory between the main road to Feng-
huancheng and the river Tayang has
been penetrated by such a strong force
of Japanese as to lead to the sugges.
tion than another army has landed at
Takushan, of which the outside world
has not before heard.

WILL KEEP OLD NAME
CHANGE At PRESENT OPPOSED
BY COMMITTEE OF THE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

Boston. May 7.-The committee of
fifteen which was appointed by the ma
tional triennial convention of the
Episcopal church at San Francisco in
1901 to consider the advisability of
changing the legal name of the de-
nomination has prepared an extended
report in which the opinion is ex.
pressed that any change at this time
is inexpedient. The report is to be
submitted to the general convention,
which will assemble in this city next
October.
The report is signed by all fifteen
members of the committee, although
three appendices, one signed by seven
members, second signed by five and
third by one, are attached.
The second appendix recommends
that the words Protestant Episcopal"
on the title page of the book of COM
mon prayer be stricken out.
Although officially party lines were
not drawn in the investigation of the
sentiment in all of the seventy-eight
dioceses and missionary districts a
change was generally favored by the
high church party and, with one or two
exceptions, the committee. while
agreeing on the report itself, divided
on the supplementary statement.
