SURROUNDED BY JAPS
Movement is Almost Completed and
KurOki and Aku Are Closing In.
The ENEMY'S FRONT IS EXTENDED.
Russian General Must Now Either Fight or
Withdraw Northward-HeI Is Closely Pressed
at tialcheng, Where There Has Been neaVy
Fighting, the Rear Guard Of the Retreating
Russians Being In Grave Peril.

St. Petersburg (By able).-Though
public attention has been distracted
from the events of the war during the
past week, first, because of the tear OF
international complications, and, sec
ond, because of the assassination OF
Minister of the Interior Won PlehVc,
the situation at the front is regarded
as critical.
The cnvcloping movement OF the
three Japanese armies of General hu-
roki, Nodzu and Oku around General
kuropatkin's position appears TO DC
almost complete, and the extended
line of the Japanese seems to be the
only drawback to concerted action.
1t is realized here that the Russian
general must now either fight or with
draw the whole army n"rthward:;
Kuropatkin is being closely pressed
at Haicheng At that place General
Kuroki's northern column makes 1t
extremely dangerous to remain there,
because. while holding the position to
give battle against the Japanese whose
advance is always slow and careful,
General Kurok might push through
and cut his communications with La
oyang.
While nothing is definitely known,
there are some unofficial indications
that matters are rapidly maturing tor
either a battle or a retreat. FOR IN
stance, the refusal to accept further
press telcgrams at Haicheng. This

ations are making for retirement or
that the wires are very crowded, III
cidcnt to a concentration at llaichenS
or Liaoyang.
A few days are expected 10 deter
mine which course General kuropat-
kin has elected to pursue.
There is no inclination here to doubt
that there may have been pretty Sc
we're fighting at the outer positions ot
Port Arthur. possibly acompamed by
a bombardmcnt from the sea, but 1t is
not believed tha, the japanese are yet
ready to storm the fortress. Rear
Admiral Without. in command OF the
naval forces at Port Arthur, is relied
on TO put to sea if the condition ct the
fortress becomes desperate. WINE
no definite information is ObtanaDle,
the report that the fortress is short
of ammunition is considered by the
public as the most disquletlng feature
of the situation there.
The indications are that the balt'c
squadron is on the eve of an important
movement. Nothing regarding TINS
can be asccrtaincd officially. but many
of the officers already have said fare-
we'll to friends and families, and are
holding themselves ready Tor instant
service. The Emperor had arranged
to inspect the squadron, but his plan
was given up owing to the asSaSSina-
ton of Minister of the Interior Won
Plehve.

Way Down East

Way Down East Is the one play
OF recent years which possesses that
touch of nature" that makes the
whole world kim" 1t is its homely
sympathy that appeals to the higher
sensibilities: it's peaceful pictures OF
comforting, glowing fresides that
touch the cookies Of the heart: its
rich vistas Of fields of waving corn
gIistening in the VAIN summer SUM-
light that makes ones blood course
exhiliratingly. In sombre contrast
are the exquistely realistic reproduc-
tions OF the bleak New England win
ter scenes with the whiIllng swiIling
drifts of snow covering the entire
countryside like unto 3 whitened
sepulchre. In such splendid pictor-
ial settings Is these, 1t requires no
deep study to understand one of the
reasons at least which went far to-
ward establishing WAY Down East"
as the classic Of latter day rural
plays. Being entirely divested Of
oifo1S'ue SotnpiiCdLlOus, LULU DldII
Parker has told her story Of the SIM
pie folk Of the New Hampshire hills
straight from the heart, appealing to
that which is best within us and
never swerving for a moment from
the thread OF her tale. "Way Down
East therefore, has continuity and
reaches its final denoument with un-
Tagging interest Even the comedy
scenes, which are frequent, are COM
ponent parts Of the story itself. OF
course the staging aud artistic direc-
tion OF Joseph Il. Grismer would
prove a strong factor for success In
any play, and IN the case Of Way
