Ii was urged by the delegation that
a law be enacted by congress conferr-

JAPANESE MOVING Ey FLANK.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 24--Appear-
ances again point to the possibility o.
a big battle south Of Mukden. The
port, have received severe setback
in the vicinity Of Sintsintin, in which
direction they were apparently as
tempting to execute wide turning
movement. Military opinion here be-
lieyes it possible that the two great
armies can winter less than a rifle
shot distant from each other, though
the heavy defenses on each side make
it extremely difficult for. either to as
sumo the offensive. 1t is believed.
however, that if the deadlock is to be
broken, General KuroDatkin will let
Field Marshal Oyama take the initia-
tive, as the Russians have the better
of the present position, namely, a
strong line of defence and Mukden be-
hind them. making satisfactory win
ter quarters, where the Russian rein
forcements are now accommodating for
an advance next spring. The Japan
csc also are being strongly reinforced.
The rivers are already frozen suffici-
emily to permit of movement OF ar
tillery and commissariat trains, so
that the country actually is better
adapted to a Japanese advance than
during the summer.
Mukden, Nov. 24.-1ndications are
growing that the Japanese are under
taking a. wide turning movement on
the Russian left. A large number Of
comnissariat wagons have been OBJ.
served going eastward and some ar.
tillery exchanges have also been re-
ported from the eastward. General
Kuropatkin has permitted men VINO

Fodder is becoming exceedingly
scarce.
The spirits of the men are good,
and the food is satisfactory. The ra-
lions of the men at the outposts and
in the advance trenches are sent to
them at night, as it would be impos.
sible to do so during the day, because
the japanese shell every convoy.

DERuNA is known from the Atlantic
i to the Pacific Letters of cungrat-
nlation and conmendation testify
ing to the merits Of Pcruna as a catarrh
remedy arc pouring in from every State
of the Union.
DR.. Hartman is receiving hundreds
of such letters daily. All classes write
these letters, from the highest to the
lowest.
The outdoor laborer. the indoor arti.
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Peruna is
the catarrl, remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy, are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise and
testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh UNIVERSAL; almost
omniprescnt.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of
catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds,
is to cheat catarrh of it's victims.
Peruna not only cures csfsrrk. but
prevents II. Every household should
be supplied with this great remedy for
coughs, colds and 50 forth.
The Ex-Governor of Oregon is an
ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps it
continually in the house.
