The story from Vladivostok that the
Japanese have been routed on the
Yaiu, probably means that small scout
ing parties long ago sent there have
been dislodged. Since Monday there
has been no time for any considerable
japanese force to reach the Yalu, as the
northernmost reported landing was at
Chemulpo, some hundreds of miles
away. When the japanese get ready 10
do business in the North they viii land

feet and then Russia will have
chance to report something worth

sinking the Korean-bound transport
kow Shing. He is well known in Ho-

BULL WHIPPED HORSE.

A terrific combat between a bull and
a horse occurred on the farm of Ed
ward Hopes, near Westchester, Pa,
and the former proved the victor. 1t
was battle to the death, and waged
furiously for time. Finally the bull
caught the breast of the horse, with
its horns and administered a terrible
rip, resulting in the death of the lat
ter. The combat occurred in the barn
yard, and those who witnessed it say
that the sight was a terrifying one.

RUSSIAN SUBSISTENCE THREATENED.

News reports and common sense
agree that the first efforts Of the u p
anese on the mainland viii be to de-
strov the bridges and as much as pos
. sible of the track of the Manchur1an
branch Of the Trans-Siberian railroad.
The easiest way for Japan to get the
best of an enemy of 100000 men is TO
cut off his supplies of food. Manchuria
is too poor TO support an army; it can
barely sustain it's population. So both
| the Russians and japanese will be com
PEELED to rely on supplies imported from
home. The problem is an easy one for
the japanese, but the Russians, thou
| sands of miles from their base, and
subject TO all manner of interferences
| and delays in transportation, are likely
TO find it troublesome indeed.
Months ago it was said that throngs
of Japanese, disguised as Chinese,
Buddhist monks and the like. were
at work in Manchuria getting ready
for war. They had. for instance.
cached dynamite at convenient places
along the railroad line; and it would lie
their duty, on hearing of war, TO at
tack the bridges and roadbed. Enough
men We're detailed for this service so
that if four-fffths of them We're headed
off. the remaining fifth would be able
to put the line out of commission. 1t
is a poor line anyway, often in bad re-
pair and subject to the vicissitudes of
the character of the road as a trans |
portation agency is the fact that two |
Russian divisions, reported fortnight |
ago, were coming over it into Manchu- |
ria on foot.
If this long artery is cut, the mill
tary problem of the japanese viii be
vastly simplifed. For be it remember
ed that the sea route is likely to be
closed by japanese naval successes. and
that the Russian army in Manchuria,
if 100000 strong as reported, is eating
not less than half million pounds of
rations per day. Vital to the aFIny's
welfare therefore, is the integrity OF
the railroad line, against which win he
directed the continuous efforts of one
of the most daring. fertile and cour-
ageous OF foes. Especially is this true
now when, as the news reports say. +
the Russian commissariat is breaking
DOWN, the supplies stored in anticipa-
ion of war not being sufficient to meet
he extraordinary demand upon them.
Tsince the above was put in type

bridge on the Manchurian railway; and

land yesterday afternoon to Miss Min
ME Lighter, formerly Of this city. The

gagged. and the wedding was set for
yesterday. II was quiet affair, only
members Of the family attending. The
bridal couple took the train for Seattle
last evening. to remain for a month.

lege man, matriculated at Harvard. He
is the son of retired attorney in New

ton held by Mr.. Russell this was
found a difficult matter. The license
