A press representative has obtained
from the general staff the following
clear statement of the situation:
Before beginning the passage of the
Yalu the Japanese evidently completed
the concentration Of the armies along
the river, commanded by Gems. Kuroki
and Oku. Each army is composed of
three divisions and three reserve bri-
gades. The total force is 100000. The
Russians on tle Manchurian bank Of
the river are inferior in strength.
Having perfected the essential
preparations, the Japanese, without
waste of time, commenced the passage
of the river and the Russians realized
that it would be impossible to prevent
their crossing. The japanese front ex-
tended from Wiju as far as Pick Tong,
over so miles. We faced the possihili-
ty that they would cross at a score Of
places and all we could hope was ID
harass and impede the crossing, for
every day gained enabled us to push
our preparations and bring up more
men"

RUsso-JAPANEsE WAR.
Great Britain Has Taken No Steps
Looking to Settlement.

London, April 27.-Inquiries here re-
veal nc traces of any effort or inten-
tion to interfere in the Russo-Japanese
war. No step looking to a pacific set
tlement of the conflict has been taken
by the foreign Office, nor, so far as
known in Downing street, by King Ed
ward himself. Those who have
discussed the war with the king within
the last few days say that such a step
is the last thing he contemplates.
Such step, however, informally ia
ken, SO it is held here, might seriously
endanger the vital negotiations now
progressing between Russia and Great
Britain with a view to the settlement
of outstanding differences between the
two countries.

NOT A PATENT MEDICINE
HyOmei, the Guaranteed Catarrh
Cure, Prescribed by Physicians.

No one should confound Hyomei
with patent medicines that are adver-
tised to cure catarrh. 1t is as far SUI
perior to them all as the diamond ia
more valuable than cheap glass. Their
composition is secret, but Hyomei
gives its formula to all reputable ply
sicians.
Is it not foolish to try and cure ca
tarrh by swallowing tablets or liq uids?
The only natural way to cure this dis
ease and all other diseases of the re.
spiratory organs is to breathe HYomei.
This treatment has been so success
full, curing 80 per cent. OF all who have
used it, that Hyomei ia now sold by
Dawson Drug Co. under an absolute
guarantee to refund the money If 1t
does not cure. You run no risk what
ever in buying Hyomei. If it did not
possess unusual powers to cure, it
could not be sold upon this plan.

HEALTH OF MANY MENACED?
CITIZENS CLAIM DITCH is A BREEDER

Petition Circulated Asking City Council to
Sewer Waterway or Take 0th0r
Measures to Remedy Alleged Evil.

The signatures of many citizens have
been given to petition, asking that
the large ditch eros sing Fourth ave

In the eastern part of the city, be taken
cognizance of by the city council and
that it be severed or in some other way
put in safe and sanitary condition.
1t is alleged in the petition that the
ditch has water run into it from the
ice factory and that this water at times
remains standing long enough to be-
come covered with coating of slime
and filth, menacing the health and
damaging the property values Of cit.
liens living in that section.
Those who live in that part of the

are very much exercised about the
matter and say that they fear an cpl
demic of fever will result from disease
germs generated from the source in
question. Their document of request
will be presented to the council at its
next meeting and immediate action by
that body urged. Following is the
petition:
"To the honorable mayor and city
council of Dawson: We, the under

your citizens, but at the same time
greatly detractng from the value Of
property located in this section of the
city. This part of the city is used al
most exclusively for residence pur-
poses aud we are informe d and believe
that the nuisance above eferred to ia
of great danger to our health and we'll

wherefore, we respectfully and
urgently insist that you give this mat
ter your prompt and urgent attention
and either have said ditch severed
and put in a perfectly safe and sanitary
condition or else have the stream OF
water disposed of In some other way
so as to not menace our health and
welfare as it now does"
