WAR NOTES.

During the past week the two great
armies facing each other in Manchuria
have had several collisions, and yester-
day. the Russian Southern army was
reported on full retreat northward
A glance at the map discovers the re-
markable length of the lines of the op-
posing armies.
The Russians are along the railroad
from position near Haicheng to Muk-
den, distance of over 100 miles; while
the Japanese are on the hills to the
east of valley, though which the rail
road runs, and to the south and west OF
the Russian position as far as New
Chwang, a distance of over 120 miles.
and their capture of the latter place
enables them to land men and supplies,
by water, to the west of the railroad
and Russian lines.
Field Marshall Oyama has supreme
command of the Jap forces. which are
divided into three armies, the first under
Kuroki, to the north: the second under
Oku to the south and west, and the
third under Nodzu in the mountains
between them.
The Russian forces are or have been
similarly divided and have the advantage
of the railroad for concentration. The
movements of the armies are being
watched by military experts, all over
the world, with great interest.
The Russians says that the Japs have
300, 900 men on the firing line. Several
engagements occurred during the past
week, in all of which the Japs were
successful, and the Russians now seem
to be shortening their line, and con-
centrating from Liao Yang to Moukden.
In the meantime the siege of Port
Arthur progresses slowly, and the Japs
are reported to have met with some
serious reverses. Their blockading
squadron, there. comprises almost the
entire fighting force of their Navy, and
this leaves the Vladivostock fleet free TO
prey upon the commerce of Japan,
which is a serious blow to her. This
squadron is said to have returned to
port for coal.

Buffers Fever Damage Suits

Butlef1S EcNcF DstihdSS SUMS
The proposed entering of suits against
the Butler Water Company for dam
ages for the typhoid fever epidemic
which devastated that town last winter
is on its face radical step. Neverthe-
less it is one which the citizens of But
Ter appear heartily in favor of taking
and accordingly an association has been
formed for the purpose of beginning a
test case. Inasmuch as there were
/, 500 cases of the fever during the But
ler epidemic, it is apparent that de-
cision affirming the liability of the COM
pany in damages to the survivors would
be most serious affair for the corpora
tion. 1t would be more than that. 1t
would place the business of private
water companies everywhere on an en-
tirely different basis.
| As the business is now operated, II
deals generally with water in whatever
condition the most convenient sources
of supply may chance to contain 1t.
1.-THE number of water companies which
| filter their water, or go to uncontami-
mated sources, increases, of course, each
| year. But that the companies are liable
in damages to the citizens of the towns
and boroughs they supply for sickness
caused by the customary filth of Amer
ican drinking water is a proposition
| which, if sustained, will give an unpre-
| cedented boom to the filtration industry.
While Butler is endeavoring to revenge
itself upon this private water company
for its alleged criminal negligence, is it
not likely that municipal corporations
which supply water to their citizens
will also be proceeded against for dam
ages on the same principle?-Pittsbure

ACCIDENTS.

noise and ran to his aid. Mr.. Heyl is
now recovering as we'll as could be ex-
pected.

Assassination in Russia.

As the Russian Minister of the In
terion, Won Plehve, was on his way to
railroad station in st. Petersburg,
last Thursday morning, bomb was
thrown which struck his carriage and
demolished it, and killed both him and
his coachman.
The bomb is belived to have been
composed of pyroxylin, as it gave off
little smoke. The force Of the explosion
was SO terrific that it not only broke
every window within radius of half
mile, but reduced the heavy paving
stone to powder. heaved up the pave
ment and flung heavy piece of iron
work of the carriage across the canal,
severing the thick mast of a barge,
which fell, stunning the captain of the
barge. Everybody in the street waa
knocked down and more or less bruised.
Won Plehve succeeded DeWitte, some
months ago as Minister of the Interior
or Prime Minister of Russia; he was the
Cars closest advisor, and was con.
sidered to be the instigator of the mas
sacres in Finland, Armenia and
Southern Russia.
