of Manchuria The place, with General
Kuroki advancing on the road to Lao
Yang, was untenable by the Russians
unless they elected to remain and
undergo a siege and so the place was
abandoned ana the military stores sent
northward to Lao Yang. With the
exception Of Port Arthur, the whole of
the Liao Tong peninsula now remains
in Japanese possession and probably
another week will see all of Manchu-
ria, south of AEukden, in the grasp of
the NIikado's soldiers.
1t is probable that Il japanese army
will take possession of New ChwanG
and march forward toward Lao Yang
to effect a junction with General
Kuroki.
The Russian retreat however,
greatly strengthens the position of
General kuropatllin Formerly his
forces were scattered from New
Chwang, in the west, half way up the
4alu River, in The east Ignorance of
the Japanese plan of campaign and the
uncertainty Of where the Japanese
would strike rendered necessary this
disposition. Now the Japanese plans
Of action are fairly we'll revealed and
General Kuropatkin is concentrating
his forces to meet the enemy's adj
vance. With the exception Of the gar
rison at Port Arthur there are now no
Russian soldiers further south in Man
churia than Liao Yang. What force
General Kuropatlin has at his disposal
is carefully concealed. 1t is said by
some that 10000 men, outside the gar
risons, constitute the fighting forces of
Russia in the Far East and from Paris
comes the rumor that it will be July 81
before the last Of the reinf0rcements
which Kuropatkin needs for offensive
operations shall have been dispatched
from Europe. BY that time it is assert
ed he will have 100000 under him.
Meantime 100000 reserves have been
called to the colors and Russia in fur

Much interest centers in Port Ar

the place it will be necessary to force
the strong earthworks defending the

trance to Kwan Tung promontory.

Baltic fleet to the Ear East is again
revived. 1t is said in st. Petersburg

In Sioux Falls, S. D., "Rev." Charles
A. Lyons pleaded guilty to the charge
of bigamy, and he was sentenced to four
years in the penitentiary. Lyons was
captured in st. Paul a few weeks ago
and brought back to Sioux Falls to an
swer to the charge of bigamy, which
was preferred by a Sioux Falls young
woman whom he wooed and won last
summer Lyons first appeared in Sioux
Falls n year ago. He professed to he
minister, and, as he bore credentials
which appeared genuine and which en-
tirely satisfied all the local clergymen,
he was at once taken Into the confidence
of many OF the church people of Sioux
Falls. Last summer he was introduced
to Miss Emma Purvis, stenOgrapher in
local bank. He wooed her with ardor
and on Oct. s last they were married.
After brief but happy married life
Lyons, on Dec. %, mysteriously disaD-
peared. His wife, learning that she was
not the only Mrs. Lyons, employed detec-
tives and Lyons was caught in st. Paul.
It has been definitely ascertained that
Lyons has been married four or five
times before, and the authorities are con-
fident that he has been married as many
as twenty or twenty-five times.

If the Gar Should Grant Constitution
Enthusiasm of People Would Grow.
A secret report from st. Petersburg
depicts the internal situation Of Russia
as becoming most serious. The preser-
walton of present institutions is threat
ened, the military failures in the far
East having strengthened the opinion
that the evils are due to the present or
ganization OF the country, in which q
change is necessary. The hope is ex-
pressed that the Emperor, seeing the
danger, will he induced to grant the
country constitution, in which event 1T
is asserted the enthusiasm OF the people
would become so great as to make 1t pos
sible to raise an army and collect the
means necessary to defeat Japan. Other
wise, the report says, it is believed all
the efforts made at st. Petersburg will
be futile, rs besides the war i'll the far
East Russia will be obliged to face a
latent if not an open revolutionary move
ment ut home, depriving her OF the as
sistance of the most progressive elements
of the empire, such as the Poles and
Films.
