JAPANESE NOW PUSHING
RAPIDLY TO THE NORTH

ST. PETERSBURG. May 2S.-A dispatch
to the Car from General Kuropatkin, un-
der date OF May q. all that was Of
ficially given out tonight. While the dis
patch was brief and bald. il is regarded as
extremely significant. The fact that the
Japanese commenced to advance along the
main Liao-Yang road as soon as they
had forced the neck of the Liao-Yang pe-
ninsula and cut off Major General Fock
from any cooperation with the Russians
in the north, shows a thorough under
standing between the japanese commando
ers. The authorities believe the advance
from eng-Wang-Cheng has only been
suspended pending the elimination OF
Fock's force. and they expect that the
advance on Liao-Yang will now be pushed
in earnest. 1t is evident that the continual
skirmishing by the advanced posts of the
japanese around Feng-Wang-Chcng has
been merely successful in masking the real
force. consisting of the third army. which
is moving north from Takushan IL IS ex-
pected that this force will be hurled on
Liao-Yang while the southern Japanesa
force is busy before Port Arthur The
fact that there is almost a compIete sur-

Woman in Union Station to
Protect Girls Refused.

apolis Union Railway Company, has re-
fused the request of the executive commit
tee of the w. c. T. u. of Marion county.
asking that the temperance organization Re
allowed to have a woman stationed in the
Union Depot as protection to young girls,
on the ground that the company officials
are doing all that is necessary along that
line The executive committee of the organ
ization met yesterday and resolved to call
a meeting TO devise some other means Of
fighting the "St Louis Vice Syndicate"
The women of the temperance organiza-
ton are not in the least discouraged. but
feel that they will ultimately be able TO
bring about the desired result. A few
weeks ago, when the story Of a 'vice syndi-
cate" in St. Louis caused such a stir
throughout the country, the women of the
Marion county w. c. 7. L. began taking
active steps toward mitigating the alleged
evil. They requested that a woman, ap-
pointed by them, be allowed 10 keep an eye
on the young girls who pass through the
Union Station. They desired to have her
stationed there at all times.
