WAR NEWS IN A NUTSHELL.

The news from the scat of war yes,
terday consists in stories OF troops and
denials One report said the Russians
had crossed the Yalu and occupied
Win and was moveing ON Ping Yang.
This was officially denied in Toxic,
where il was stated the Russians had
not crossed the Yula 1t is admitted
that large force is on the other side
Of the river.
Ii is geneally accepted now that
Alexieff had moved back to Hardin,
haveing practically abandoned Port
Arthur to its fate.
The japanese are closing in on the
impregnable fortress" and it is
generally admitted that they will
soon have il,
Four hundred thousand men will be
gathered in Hardin before Alexlefi
makes an aggressive move
Chinese troops have delayed their
movements to Kin-Choo.
There is great resentment in
Russia towards the United States,
and this was emphasized when it was
learned that Mr. Hay had closed all
correspondence regarding the neutral
ization of China.
Details of tie firing ON two British
merchant vessels show it was a
mistake.
Admiral Alexieff yesterday sent a
detailed report of the second Port
Arthur engagement, but it lacks the
details which are wanted.
The Russian Battleship Bayan
is the one put out of business Sunday.
I lere is unusual military activity in
EUROPE, indicating fear of compli-
cations growing out of the near and
far Eastern troubles.

Thos. Sizer came in last week will

fed in the valley this winter. He
brought in one of the old-fashioned on
yokes used in pioneer days, which he
had found among lot of old irons

there for years and was the property
of some unfortunate emigrants that
were murdered by the Indians in the

Arkansas Raptists.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Nov. 1s.-Pint
Bluff has fallen before an invading
force of nearly 1000 enthusiastic Bap
lists who will remain in possession OF
the city for the next three days. The
occasion is the annual session of the
Arkansas Baptist State convention, OF
which Ex-Governor j. p. Eagle is the
president.
The convention will devote the most
of its attention TO the educational needs
Of the denomination, though the mis-
sionary work in its various branches
will also be considered. Reports pre-
pared for presentation TO the eonven-
tion show that the past year has been
one of great activity for the Baptists
OF Arkansas, gratifying progress hav-
ing been made in all its fields of la
Dor. The day sessions of the conven-
tion will be devoted to reports, dis
eussions and other business of SINH
lar nature, while the evenings viii be
given over 10 sermons and addresses
by noted divines and educators who
are among those in attendance. Thanks
TO the elaborate arrangements made
by the local committees the visitors
have found excellent accommodations
provided for them in the way of re-
ception and entertainment.
