RUSSIANS FORTIFY TELLING
THEY HAVE TWO DIVISIONS ON
HUN RIVER.
Japanese Occupy Front 20 Miles
Long North Of Liaoyang--They
Have Hridsed Taitzi River--Reports
Of Shooting and Smelling At Lao
yang Exaggerated.

A correspondent recently with Gem
Ieral Kuroki's army in Manchuria, has
returned to Toxic, and is enabled to
give some details of the present dispo-
sition of the opposing forces. The po-
sition of the Russians consists OF two
divisions in Mukden, while the re-
naming troops are concentrating at
Iieling. Telling is being extensively
fortified.
The Japanese occupy front extend.
ing 20 miles north Of Liaoyang. in
their original formation. Inc bridging
OF the Taitze river mas been com
pleted by the japanese and the troops
and artnery are across the stream.
Inere was no appearance OF an adj
vance when the correspondent left
the scene of operations.
The reports of the footing and she'll
ing OF Lioayang are grossly exaggerat-
ed. There was trifing amount OF
pilfering only, but absolutely nothing
in the nature OF looting. The Smelling
was also limited to the small portion
Of the wall under which the Russians
were sheltered.
The correspondent questioned DR..
Westwater in reference to his alleged
maltreatment. lie declared that he
received two trifiing cuts as a result
of a misunderstanding in the darkness.
ie considered the matter Of SO slight
Importance that he did not report it
to the authorities, whose first intima-
ton of the affair came from Europe.
Dr. Westwater spoke in great admira-
ton of the behavior OF the Japanese
troops in the city, of their generosity
for the exigencies OF the situation in
supplying medical appliances to his
hospital and their care for the Chinese
wounded on the Liaoyang plain.
During the battle Sir Ian Hamilton
informed the correspondent that
throughout the operations he sat prac-
tically next to the chair of General
Kuroki, following every move and
hearing every report and every order
issued. He said that no foreign at
tache with any army was ever allow
ed similar privileges. The attaches
and correspondents have had a mag
nificent view of all the fighting since
the advance from Fengwangcheng. the
original restrictions having been
greatly decreased.

Standard Oil Profits.

s.
The profits of the present Standard
Oil company are enormous. For FIVE
years the dividends have been aver
aging about sac, 100000 year, or near
ly so per cent on it's capitalization, a
sum which, capitalized at 5 per cent,
would give $900,OO0,000. OF course this
is not all that the combination makes
in year. 1t allows an annual aver
age of 5.77 per cent for deficit, and it
carries always an ample reserve fund.
When we remember that probably one
third of this immense annual revenue
goes into the hands Of John d. Rookie
Teller, that probably 80 per cent of 1t
goes to the few men who make up
the STANDARD Oil family" and that it
must every year be invested, the Stan
dard Oil company becomes much
more serious public matter than it was
in 1872.
