 WASHINGTON, March 10.-The gov sfnment has received an official tele- gram from Chefu saying that Japanese forces are at Furlgwangchang and Ta- kushan. both well into Manchuria. This Information, while received with in- credulity in some quarters, is regarded as of the greatest importance. If it be true, the Japanese have got in the rear of the Russian advance into Korea and are in position to control the south ern end of the road running by a round about route from Takushan to New chwang, over which the Russian troops now in Korea must obtain their sup piles.
 The reason for the incredulity men, honed is that Fungwangchang is far from the place where the Japanese ad- vance was last reported and a consid- erabic distance in the interior of Man. churia. Fungwangchang is on the Great Picking road, which runs through Korea, and is, in fact, the only road of importance in that country. It is about 165 miles northwest of Pingyang, where the advance of the Japanese army was encamped at last accounts and where Russian scouts were encountered. Ia kushan is thirty-five miles to the west of the Yalu's mouth and few miles from the sea.
 If the Japanese are at Fungwang- chang they are out of the mountainous region that overruns most of Korea and the eastern part of Manchuria.
 How they got there Is mystery. In some quarters the information from Chefu is regarded as confirming the report that Japanese expedition has been landed near the mouth of the Yalu.
 Reports have reached Commander Sawyer of the United States steamer Helena, at Ytnkow, that the Japanese and Russians have fought at Flung wangcheng, which is forty-ive miles northwest of Antung. Commander Sawyer ia cablegram to the navy de partmcnt supplements this news with

lie for its support on the strike was
formulated and later approved by
meeting of the strikers. Chairman
Kennedy of the joint advisory board
said tonight that seventy-five of the
striking butchers are now working for
Independent firms and that many MEM
bers of the retail butchers association
whose customers are union workmen
have decided to patrSnize the indie
pendent packers. The same sort or
pressure is being put on other re-
tailers by men belonging to labor or
ganizations which are In sympathy
with the striking butchers employed
by Schwarschild and Sulzberger and
the United Dressed Beef Company.
The Information officers of the Anal
Ramated Cattle and Butcher Workmen's
Association have decided to open a
supply store tomorrow on Second ave.
nue. where the families of such OF the
strikers who have been unable to fiind
work will be furnished free OF cost
with all the provisions they desire
while the strike lasts. The expenses
of running the supply store be borne
by the locals.

The sensational meeting Of the Coun-
ty Executive Commtttee Saturday, at
which Charles B. ,Teasly declared that
a member had been offered Thousand
dollars for his vote. has been the chief
subject Of conversation among the
Montgomerians who take an active part
in politics.
II IS an open secret that ]. d. Collier.
committeeman from 6eat -. was the
man approached. At the meeting Sat-
urday Mr.. Teasly agreed to make pub
lie the name of the man to whom tho
bribe was offered II any member of
the committee should ask for 1t. No
one requested the name. however. In
private conversation, Mr.. Teasly has
told his friends that Mr.. Collier was
the man.
Mr.. Collier has not hesitated to con-
firm this statement. He has told IL,
detail the conversation at the time the
offer was made. Mr.. Collier has not.
however. made public the name OF the
man who made the offer. He 10 not
anxious to figure further In an un.
pleasant incident. but his friends say
that If his statement Is denied. II his
assertions are challenged, he will meet
the challenge with the name OF the
man and with everything connected
with the offer.
Mr.. Collier has made no authorita-
tive statement, even to his friends, of
the name of the man who made the Of
fer. The rumors on the streets which
have connected more than one mans
name with the offer are, therefore, un-
founded. One of the rumors may be
true. but none Of them Is authorita-
tive.
Mr.. Collier has told his friends that
he was approached more than once for
his vote In the committee meeting. At
his home he was offered $400 to vote
for the committee to grant the prayers
of the several petitions which would
be presented to 1t. These petitions
asked the committee to re ELECT Treas
urer John ]. Cochran.
On his arrival In Montgomery he was
offered $1,000 for his vote He scorn-
ed the offer. He was then asked, 1t is
