gramme, now complete, of the jubilee
exercises of the University of Wiscon-
sin to be held during the week be-

include the celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the graduation of the
first class in 1854, the Inauguration of
President Charles Richard Van Hise
and the fifty-first commencement of
the university, indicate that the occa-
sion will be one of great interest not
only to the alumni and others inter-
ested in higher education, but to the
people of the whole state.
The responses received thus far indi-
cate that there will be larger at
tendance than originally anticipated.
Some 100 American and foreign uni
versities have accepted the invitations
and will be represented by one or
more delegates. At recent meetings Of
the alumni associations in New York,
Washington, Milwaukee and St. Louis
much enthusiasm was manifested in
the coming celebration and from thu
responses thus far received it is evil
dent that there will be over $500
alumni present.

WAR ON DIVORCE BILL.
Campaign of Education Is Opened by
the Interchurch Con-
ference.

Philadelphia, May 9.-The inter-
church conference on marriage and di-
vorce, body representing officially IA
leading denominations, has issued
through it's secretary, Rev. William H.
Roberts, d. D., an appeal to the public,
calling attention to several aspects Of
the divorce question. The paper is
the beginning of national campaign
of education upon the subject, to be
followed by efforts to secure the enact
ment of laws in the state legislature,
and ultimately it is thought of an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States. Already action has been
taken by the conference looking to-
ward the prevention of remarriage, by
ministers of other communions, of dt-
vorcees whom clergymen of their OWL
faith have refused to marry.
This movement is the first occasion
of any sort upon which the representa-
tives of the great denominations have
officially come together. The members
of the conference include many of the
most eminent ecclesiastics and laymen
in the churches. The denominations
which subscribe to the appeal are:
Protestant Episcopal church in the
United States; Presbyterian church in
the United States; Methodist Episcopal
church; Methodist Episcopal church
south; Reformed church of America;
Reformed church in the United States;
United Presbyterian church; Evangeli-
cal Lutheran church; the Baptist
churches; the Congregational churches;
the Universalist churches; the Unita-
rian churches; the Reformed Presby-
terrain church; the Cumberland Pres
byterian church; the Alliance of the
Reformed churches holding the Pres
byterian service.

Paris, May 1.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Eclair says: at
is now certain that the Japanese have
not landed more than 5000 men at
Pitsewo. Only a few detachments Of
the advance guard reached the rail
way, which they cut in several places.
They then received orders to fall back
and join the main force, leaving the
line free"
In Full Retreat.
London, May 9.-Gen. Kuropatkin has
been defeated at Fengwangcheng, and
his army is in full retreat toward Muk-
den. closely pursued by the Japanese.
The few details at hand show that Kuro-
Xxi outgeneraled the Russian command
cr-in-chief. Details of the fighting have
not bsen received. A dispatch from An
tung indicates the battle for the possess
sion of Tengwangcheng began on
Wednesday, and that the losses on both
sides were heavy. Dispatches to Paris
from ST. Petersburg show that at The end
of the fighting the Japanese army occu-
pied the heights commanding the Rus
sian position. l<uropatkin gave his at

Japanese army then entered FengwanS-
cbeng.
General RETREAT Ordered.
Paris. May l0.-The correspondent at
ST. Petersburg of HE Echo de Paris tele-
graphs as follows: Gen. Kuropatliin
has ordered general retreat. and no
doubt intends to avoid a battle until he
has sufficient forces. He actually has at
his disposal not more than 100000 men,
exclusive of the garrison at Port Ar
thur, which consists of 10000. and the
garrison at NewchWang, Of $1,000. A
general who knows the secrets of the
mobilization tells me that the last 900
men making up the required 100000 will
leave Kasan July q, adding: we will
be very sick if the railway is not worked
we'll. 1t Is not likely that Gen. kuropat-
kin will fatigue his troops unnecessarily.
If the Japanese press him he will re-
tire from Liaoyang to Mukden, or even
to Hardin. Retreat certainly is painful.
The Evacuation of Newchwang.
London, May 10.-The Toxic CORE
spondent of the Daily Chronicle says that
$4,000 Russians are retiring from New
chwang to Liaoyang The correspondent
says the Chinese bandits have destroyed
the road to Taskichia and to Haicheng
(Tashichia is the junction for the New
chwang branch of the Port Mull-
den route and Haicheng is further north
on the main line.) The Russians are
making a new road. The correspondent
adds that bandits have attacked and cut
other parts of the railroad, and points out
that the capture of Dalny will enable the
Japanese to cut off Port Arthurs electri-
cal supplies.
