important skirmishes are reported along
the Yalu river. Six japanese soldiers
were killed by Russian scouts on April
l6. Firing was heard on April is, but
the result of the engagement is I'M
known.
The outposts on the Island Of Yalu,
between ANU and Wiju, have been en-
gagged in continual skirmishes for sew
eral days. Some japanese are reported
to have been killed. At night, when the
japanese retire they disguise them
selves in the straw cloaks of Koreans.
They are making bags, with bark mat
ting, which they fill with earth and use
in building their defensive works.
Vladivostok in Dire Need.
st. Petersburg, April 20.-The popula-
tion of Vladiyostok is in want Of the
most necessary kinds of provisions and
in consequence of flooded rivers, which
interrupt communications, it is impos-
sible to furnish them supplies. There
is also scarcity of money. Many in
habitants, particularly the women and
children, are leaving the city, abandon
ing their property, which they are I'M
able to sell. Half of the houses in
Vladivostok are empty and the civilian
population is already reduced to 5000.
Vice Admiral Skrydloff arrived here
Tuesday on his way to the far east,
where he will take command of the Rus

sian scouting parties have retired across
the Yalu before the Japanese, who occu-
pied Wiju practically without resist
ance. The japanese army is divided into
two forces, one for eXpeditionary pur-
poses and the other for occupation. The
former, numbering $4,000, is advancing
to the Yalu, and the latter, consisting of
$4,000 reservists, is making far-sighted
communication arrangements with the
headquarters at Seoul, where there is
garrison of 1000. The headquarters Of
the transport service is at Chemulpo.
Railroad building and road grading are
progressing rapidly. The fertilization
of Kojedo island at the mouth Of
Masampo harbor, which protects the
southern, terminus of overland COM
munication, also guards the passage to
Vladivostok and Port Arthur through
Broughton strait. Forty transports of
Haiju are supposed to have landed part
of their forces at Takushan and it is the
evident intention to disembark second
army at Yongampo preparatory to fore
ing the Yalu.

of her undying fidelity to the memory
of her husband as the widow Mary"
The metallic coffin in which the body
was sealed forty-five years ago was

the leading Republicans of the Seventh
congressional district, and who has
been grand master of the odd Fellows
OF Kansas, was operated on for appe1-
dicitis in a Wichita hospital a day or
two ago, and it is stated that he has
little chance of recovery.
He was seized with an attack of ap-
pendicitis last Saturday. His condition
became so serious that on Saturday he
was taken to Wichita and an operation
was performed. The operation disclosed
the fact that the appendix was largely
gone and that a gangrenous condition
had set in. Mr.. Wallace's friends state
that he has good constitution and Us
he is of excellent habits these things
are in his favor, but the disease has
progressed so far that the chances are
against his recOVerY.

rains are reported from this part of
the southwest today
