sAPs CONTROL PENINSULA.
Port Arthur Now Alone Holds Out
 Against Kuroki.

k-0Et Af6muk NOW Alone H0E0H OmG Against Kuroki. St Petersburg, May 1S.-(2 a. m.l--- Advices received by the general stan show that the Japanese are practically masters of all of the southern end of the Liao Tung peninsula, save Port Arr thur and the territory commanded by its guns This result. so promptly brought about. is due to the failure of the Russians to make opposition of any consequence to the Japanese ad- vance.
 member of the general stan said to a representative of the Associated PresS that the removal of the guns from the fortincations erected at Kin Chow and in the direction of Port Dal- ny were primarily for the purpose of concentrating the Russian force at Port Arthur. If the men and guns were scattered, the effect would have been to distribute the means of defence of the fortress over number ot&pofnts strategicalfy weak.
 The destruction of Dalny was the result of no sudden determination. but was due to the probability that a force attempting to hold this place could be separated from Port Arthur and cap- tured. thus infiicting further loss of prestige to the Russians which could not be permitted at this time. To de- fend the whole of tho southern end of the Liao Tung peninsula, it would have been necessary to have an army equal to that which the Japanese could have landed.
 The weakness of the Manchurfan army. said this officer. left only one course to pursue. namely. that of mob ilizing sufficient troops at Port Arthur to hold it until relief came. and aban- doning every point outside which did not contribute to the strategic defense of the fortress. It has been learned that the ground over which the Japa- nese must charge to canture the fort ress is heavily mined. Msthey do caps ture 1t the officer said, they will pay q frightfuI price.
 The destruction of Dainy is com piete the breakwater and buildings. as we'll as the piers and docks having been blown up.

BATTLE AT LAO YANG.
First Great Battle Probably Will Ba
 Fought There.


 Antung, May 10, via Seoul, May 16.-- The concentration of the Russian forces at Liao Yang will make that place the first line of defense and the first great battle will probably be fought there No important aggressive action by this army Is expected in the near future. Since the Russian fleet at Port Arthur has been bottled up. the Japanese find 1t possible to safely use this port as a base and to abandon most of the land transportation through Korea, using the regular army transport equipment for conveying munitions from Antung to the front. The Chinese do not ob- ject to Japanese occupation, because the new corners give employment tc thousands at good wages and furnish a market for provisions at inflated prices. Many Japanese shopkeepers were al- ready established here. The river ha, not yet been opened to foreign com merce.
 The correspondents who remain at headquarters visited the Russian wounded. who expressed satisfaction a their treatment. Their only complaint concerning provisions was that they re- ceived no bread. the Japanese army not being provided with stores of that kind

 Austin, Texas, May 17.-The railroads and express companies won first blood today in the antitrust suits recently brought against corporate interests gen orally by the District Attorney here in the name of the State of Texas.

Trouble Between kUrOpatkIn and
 Alexien Becomes Acute.
 Paris. May LA dispatch to The Temps rom Vienna says information received there shows that the conflict between Viceroff Alexieff and General Kuropatkin is acute. The latter attributes the Rus sian defeat on the Yalu River to Viceroy Alexieff's orders countermanding his pre- viously given instructions.
 General Kuropatkin. according to The Temps's dispatch, now proposes the aban- donment of Port Arthur, the junction of it's forces with his army and the retire ment of the united forces to Harbin. maintaining that the present Russian force is not sufficient to cope with the Japanese.
 Viceroy Alexieff holds this course to be folly, as the abandonment of Port Arthur would mean the loss of the fleet, the suffering of a moral defeat and the risk of the extermination of the Port Arthur force while seeking to make a junction with General Kuropatkin. The Emperor's entourage. it is added. tends to support VIceroy Alexieff

The Other Fellows Job.

There's craze among us mortals that Is
cruel hard to name,
Wheresoe'er you find a human you will
find the case the same;
You may seek among the worst of men or
seek among the best,
And you'll find that every person is pre-
cisely like the rest.
Each believes that his real calling is
along some other line
Than the one at which he's working
take, for instance, yours and mine.
From the meanest "me-too" creature to
the leader OF the mob,
There's a universal craving for "the 9th
er fellows job"
There are millions OF positions in the
busy world to-day,
Each drudge to him who holds it, but
to him who doesn't, play;
Every farmers broken-hearted that in
youth he missed his call,
While that same unhappy farmer is the
envy of us all.
Any task you care to mention seems a
vastly better lot
Than the one especial something which
you happen to have got.
There's but one sure way to smother
Envy's heartache and her sob;
Keep too busy, at your own, to want
"the other fellows job"
Success
