Cavalry Reported to Be Collecting
Along the Pu River For an Attack
Against czar's Forces Between Muk-
den and the Tie Pass-Kuropat<in's
Situation a Dangerous One.
Mukden, Sept. 2s.-Addltional danger
confronts General Kuropatkin in the
discovery by Cossack scouts that a di-
vision Of japanese cavalry, with flying
batteries and a supporting column of
light infantry, is massing in the west
ern end Of the Pu valley, twenty-one
miles northwest Of this city, for a sud
den descent on the Russian rear In the
direction of Tie pass.
This news disposes Of the supposi-
tion that the detachments Of the enemy
seen west Of the peninsular railway
in the past fortnight were reconnoiter-
ing parties from General Oku's left
wing and establishes the fact that a
sixth japanese army is in the field. 1t
compels a radical change in General
Kuropatkin's plans, for he must pro
tect his rear and his line OF communi-
cation with the reserve base in Tie
pass before he can accept battle from
Kuroli's three armies on the east. The
necessity Of drawing heavily from his
center and left to strengthen his right
against the expected rear attack may
weaken those parts Of his front to a
degree full of menace in this stage Of
the fighting.
Troops Sent to Danger Point.
A council Of war was called, and last
night brigades from the center moved
rapidly northwestward 1t is assumed
they are intended TO check the enemys
advance from the west until troops
can be rushed south from Tie pass to
block that movement permanently.
The Pu river is a tributary of the
Lao and crosses the railroad as wei
as the military highway at points
about three-6fths of the way from
Mukden to Tie pass. 1t evidently is
the enemy's intent to sweep south
eastward aloIS the valley OF thal
stream and oGrIle the railway be
/ tween Fanhuo and Yilu. The valley
runs through the iron mines south
west OF Tie pass. and the country ives
OF the railway is open enough for {
rapid advance by cavalry.
Large re-enforcements have been re
ceiyed by the Russian general recent
/ ly. but as he is compelled TO distribute
his new forces over a much more ex
tended front than in the closing day
Of Liaoyang and at points betweel
which and headquarters communica

Better Salaries for Teachers,

Perhaps no more satisfactory Christ
mas present could have been devised
than that which was enjoyed by the
$500 school teachers Of Philadelphia,
who have tust reached the successful
climax of their brief and spirited cam
paign for higher salaries. A substan-
tial increase will shortly be made all
along the line from high school to kim
dergarten, not omitting the jaritors
Of school buildings, who. it appears
get an additional ten per cent. While
the new schedule just passed by the
Philadelphia Councils places the nom.
ination of Philadelphia teachers on a
considerably higher plane than before,
it is to be noted that it is still behind
the standard of wages awarded in Bos-
ton and other cities. But the prompt
and cordial response of the Councils,
impelled by public sentiment, may be
looked on as an indication that better
things are in store for the teachers in
Philadelphia public schools whenever
they shall arise In their might and de-
mand adequate pecuniary recognition
for good work done.

attempt was made to do more than to
clear the streets from curb to curb. the
debris being piled high on the side

Many dangerous walls which over
hang the streets were pulled down. The
