day and in the evening attended the
Methodist Social Banquet held ia
the Auditorium in Chicago at which
there were over 500 present including
the prominent business men Of Chi

Nicholson said two things had i'm
pressed him on this trip to Chicago
more than ever before. The few
men there who were holding posi-
tions through some kind Of pull and
the large number Of successful men
who had received college training,
Both Of these things should furnish
food for honest thought to D. U.
students.

Shan-kai-kwan, May 21.-On Thurs
day night after two days of contin-
nuous fighting, the Japanese army d.
vision on the Liao-tng peninsula had
ad vanced within sixteen miles Of the
environments of Port Arthur losing
probably 200 men in the skirmish
which on Thursday night put the
right wing of the besieging army in
the town Of Cho-jang, the center at
Jin-chau and left at Ko-ja-die The
most accurate reports put the Russian
loss in two days at 400, including be-
tween forty and fifty prisoners taken
on Wednesday evening in a sharp
engagement south of Chi-lin-po, west
Of the railroad.
During the engagement on Thurs
day, in which the Russian left wing
was driven out of Jin-chau, the fleet
Of Rear Admiral Togo (not Vice Ad-
niral Togo), with three cruisers, di-
rected heavy fire on the retreattng
Russians, which was especially Sc

the railroad between Cho-jan and

visions and heavy artillery are stead
lily moving on Port Arthur from the

Hill SAYS MONEY
IS NOT LACKING
Business Settling Down from Gen

About Merger Statement.
Special to The Journal.

r. r b n
New York. May 21.-President
James j. Hill Of the Northern Secu-
rites company, who has just arrived
from the west, in speaking Of the
crop prospects In the northwest and
the sagging tendency noted recently
In business thruout the country says:
Business is settling down, as may
be seen by the returns of the results.
This is nothing new, but merely bears
out what said last October. How
far the present tendency will carry
down the business of the country I
cannot say, as there is nothing in
sight to indicate any change.
It is not a sentiment, but natural
cause, that we have to contend
against. The business contraction
does not arise from any lack of
money, for money Is abundant. AS
far as it can be done, reduced earn
ings on the roads will be met by re-
duction In operating expenses, but as
to whether the Great Northern will
reduce the number of men employed,
I can only say that we keep no more
than we need at any time.
The season has been late for
spring work, but wheat seeding has
been completed and the area is some
what larger than last year. In some
cases land which was intended. for
wheat could not. be seeded in time
and will now be devoted to other
crops, but the new land which has
been brought into cultivation more
than makes UP the deficiency.
Generally speaking, seeding has
been done under favorable conditions,
altho rather late in sections. and pre-
vailing conditions are satisfactory"

COAST CITIES IN
FIGHT OYER RATES
Committees Assemble to Discuss
Tariffs With Railroad Com
panies in Chicago.
Special ia The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, May 21.-Conmittees rep
resenting the jobbing interests Of San
Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma
and Spokane are here holding confer
ences with officials Of the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific, Union Pa
cif1c and Burlington roads, in an ef-.
fort to settle severe grievances as to
freight rates.
For several years the wholesale
merchants, manufacturers, and job
,bers Of the cities named have COM
planned that rates eastward have been
excessively high In comparison with
rates from Minneapolis, St. Paul,
Omaha, and Kansas City.
Because Of it's refusal even to dis
cuss a revision of rates the Northern
Pacific was boycotted by the business
men Of Spokane for many months.
The boycott was lifted about two
weeks ago, when the Northern Pacific
promised to join the Great Northern,
Union Pacific and Burlington in this
conference
The business men demand a reduc-
ton in rates from the Pacific coast
to: points midway between the coast
and the Missouri river. They claim
that it is impossible for them to DO
| business except in a small territory
near the coast on account OF Min
l. sNAA~ A~~.IN~
sas City firms securing much lower
rates westward.
The railroad officials claimed they
were justified in making lower rates
westward from the Missouri than east
| ward from the Pacific to stimulate
traffic and. avoid hauling empty cars
| Westward.
The cities also have conflicting in
terests and there apparently is little
common ground. Some Of the things
that the strictly coast cities desire
would injure Spokane, and If Spokane
should receive what it desires the
coast would be greatly injured.
| Further complicating the situation
are the contending interests Of the
North Pacific coast cities and San
Francisco, each of which is anxious to
preserve its respective jobbing terri
tory If not to enlarge it. @es
| The Pacific coast interests insist
that they should be allowed to go as
far east for trade as the eastern job
bers can go west, at equal freight
rates.
Spokane is demanding terminal and
distributing rates such as are granted
to Tacoma, Seattle and Portland. The
other cities oppose Spokane, as 1t
would destroy their territory.

JAPANESE PLANS sURMIsED
Niu-chuang Thinks the First Object
i've Point Is Port Arthur.

Niu-chuang, May y
The officials have received no further
information regarding the fighting re-
sulting in the retreat of the Japanese
on Feng-huang-cheng, but there Is
good authority for saying that the
Japanese movements in the direction
Of Liao-yang and Hai-cheng were for
the purpose Of causing the Russians
in this vicinity to move northward,
thus giving the Japanese an opportu-
nifty to complete their preparations to
capture of Port Arthur.
When the Japanese begin a deter
mined movement in this vicinity it
will be from Feng-huang- cheng and
Niu-chuang. They figure that it does
not matter what may be the fate of
the Yalu army, if they can continue to
control the sea and Port Arthur.
The Japanese are still fortifying the
hills on the neck of land between
Talienwan and Kin-chau bays. Many
rapid-fire guns protected by sandbags
have been mounted there with the OBJ
ject of resisting a sortie Of the be-
leaguered garrison.
A spy set fire to the woodwork OF
the water tanks Of the local railway
station this afternoon. It was part OF
a plot to injure the railroad.

You can't prevent poisonous hern

Neither can you prevent a disease from

that he is soured, and then he finds. to
his sorrow, when the lulling effect Of
such trashy medicines are worn off. that
the trouble is worse than before. A medl

Buffalo, N. Y, May 21.-Last year
the port of Buffalo had received up to
May 81 31,657,596 bushels Of grain.
Up to May 20 this year the receipts
have been 694,300 bushels.
Shippers here say that the tie-up
of lake commerce due to the strike
of the Masters and Pilots association
will be more disastrous than the an
thracite coal strike.
The great water highway Of trade
between the west and the east is
practically closed.
There are in this port 10000 tons
of coal on board of vessels unable to
sail. A number Of grain vessels ar
rived here have not been unloaded

these come from Chicago, Milwaukee,

Possibly the contracts may include

ANOTHER JAP SHIP CLAIMED
St. Petersburg Thinks That the Fuji
Has Been Damaged.

st. Petersburg, May FL, 5:55 p. m.-
Details of Rear Admiral Wittsoeft's
mail dispatch to Viceroy Alexieff, not
made public, establishes the fact that
mines planted by the Russian torpedo
boats were resp onsible for the destruc-
ton Of the Hatsuse and the damage
sustained by another battleship Of the
Fuji type off Port Arthur.
1t is said that no submarine boats
were sent out of Port Arthur. The
suppression Of the statement regard
ing the mines was due to the fact that
it explained where they were located.
A number Of unexploded mines lie in
the same vicinity and 1t Is not deemed
wise to describe their position. Each
mine contained "A pounds Of guncot-
ton.
The admiralty thinks it highly
probable that it was a battleship OF
the F'uji type that struck mine, but
that she kept ahoat and was eventual
ly lost, as a heavy gale was blowing.
In any event, it is said that at least
two months in dock will be required
to repair the damage done.

OFF PORT ARTHUR
Japanese Ships Draw the Fire of the
-. Forts,

Toxic, May 21.-Vice Admiral Togo
reported to-day as follows:
''The gunboat squadron and the tor
pedo boat destroyers and torpedo boat
fotillas approached Port Arthur yes
terday to reconnoiter. This was sue
cessfully effected with little damage
in spite of hot cross fire from the
forts. There were no casualties on
our side"
It is absolutely certain that the Hat
suse was sunk by a Russian mine
ten miles off the coast. The position
of these mines makes navigation dam
gerous for neutral vessels and a pro-
test from foreign governments Is ex-
pected. The loss Of the Japanese
warships Is felt keenly here. No flags
are flying and the nightly lantern pa
rades have been abandoned.
The American nurses will go to the
Heroshimo receiving hospital on the

Japs Surround and Cut to Pieces a
SQUADRON of HOrsemen.

Toxic, May 21.-Altho 1t has not
been officially reported, it is said on
good authority that the Japanese
forces have captured Kai-chau, driv-
ing the Russians back to Ta-shi-kiau
in the direction of Niu-chuang, and
preventing the advance Of the Rus
sian troops at Niu-chuang in the di-
rection Of Kai-chau (Kai- -ping).
The bombardment by the Japanese
Of the vicinity of Kai-chau recently
was probably in preparation for the
landing Of forces in the northwest
corner Of the Liao-tung peninsula for
the purpose of capturing Niu-chuang
and cooperating with the other ar
mics in the march on Liao-yang.
ProbS,bly small Japanese force
has been landed at Kin-chau bay.
The Japanese forces which landed
at Ta-ku-shan Thursday, surrounded
and routed a force Of Russian caval-
ry at o'clock Friday evening In the
neighborhood of Wang chien, seven
miles north of Ta-ku-shan. The Rus
sian force, which consisted of about
one squadron, lost many men killed
or wounded as we'll as captain, who
was captured. The Japanese sus-
tained no losses.
Ta-ku-shan is at the mouth Of the
Dayan river, west Of the Yalu.

the Lake Carriers association has no
desire at this time to end the dead

lake carriers have deliberately entered

vessels in port until freight rates are
pushed up to abnormal figures as a
result Of the tie-up"
