Paris, May 2G--1he St Petersburg
correspondent of the Petit Pariasien
telegraphs that according to a private
'ispltch from Liao-YanE. Eurok'8
army has begun an attack on the
Russian position on the Liao-Yang
road and that It is believed what Will
prove TO be a decisive battle Is pro-
crossing.
The st. Petersburg correspondent
of the Echo de Paris says. The
forces Of Generals Kondravitch and
Bcnnkampf which are between the
japanese armies at Feng Wang.Cheng
and south iiaoYang, are estimated
at more than $4,000 men ami include
large number Of Cossacks. The p1-
sition Of the japanese first army be.
tween the two Russian forces is most
critical. II is thought Kuropatkin is
advancing through the mountain
passes commanding the IIaiCheng
road and may drive back the Japan.

1t would be great surprise TO the

SUBSCRIBERS. TALK.
Their Opinion of the Independent Tel.
 ephone Company

MT. Joy of the Independent Tele- phone company, speaking of the pro gress of the work, said yesterday;
 "We have something like zoo sub scribers for the new phone. We find several causes for reluctance of the people to subscribe. Of course we rec ognize that one subscriber so far as expression of opinion is concerned, is worth 100 who simply give opinions; and to that extent we are gSatified with cur work. Many are out of town and cannot be seen until after the summer vacation. Many favor the new enterprise but hesitate until its success shall have been demonstrated. Some probably have doubts of the good faith of the enterprise because l am stranger to the people. Of this, of course, I have no right to complain, and, of course, l do not My propc- sition is a simple business enc. think it a good investment of my money and of those who back me, to install and operate a telephone system here. l realize that ] musc offer some inducements to those who use tele- phones. I cannot expect to compete with the old company unless I offer either better service or as good service at a less cost, or both. The old com- pany is a Bell concern. 1 need not enter into any discussion of the busi- ness methods of the Bell companies. It is simply a matter of common history that there is no more eXacting and tyrannical trust in existence than the American Bell Telephone company. It is the parent and controlling com pany of all companies using the Bell telephone. For more than a quarter of a century 1t has had the exclusive field. Its patent gave it a monopoly. Within the past seven or eight years its principal patents have cXpiIe ed. Within that brief time the independent companies have come into the field with improved service and lessened cost. That they have met the approval of the people is amply testified by the fact that for every telephone now in service by the Bell companies the In dependent companies have two. This it would seem to me ought to dispel the notion that the Independent com !)anies are either unpopular or are inefficient.

For a Map Book.
Strictly speaking, atlas Is mis-
homer for a map book, since it was not
the world but the heavens that the
"atlas' Of mythology upheld. Merca-
tor, the famous Dutch geographer,
who made globes for Emperor Charles
V. Of Germany, was the first to use
the name in this connection, choosing
1t as a convenient and in some sort an
appropriate title, because Atlas, the
demigod. figures with a world upon his
shoulders ms a fr~ontispiecc OK some
early works on geography.
Atlas, 1t was said, made var With
other TitaDs upon Zeus and. being
conquered, was condemned to bear
heaven upon his head and hands.
Later tradition represented him as a
man changed by means Of Medusa's
head into q mountain, upop which rest
ed heaven and all its stars. IA
In any case Atlas was always nsso-
ciated with o heavy burden strongly
