Eans made a special effort to hold as
long as possible the heights of Cho-
San, on an island opposite Kiulien-
Cheng, whence their guns commanded
a considerable stretch of the river to
the south, but Japanese battery on a
hill above Wiju dominated the posi-
ton, which the Russians eventually
were forced to relinquish. thus losing
the key to the river. The desperate
character of the. struggle there may
have been due to the necessity for
gaining time for the withdrawal CT

below
Gen. Sassulitch was in command of
the entire force on the Yalu, which ex-
tended along a. front of over thirty
miles, with reserve supports 15 miles
back The whole, according to the
best information obtainable, did not
exceed 1900 men. What was the
actual force engaged is not known at
present, though probably it was not
more than 5000 men, if it was so
large.
No confirmation has yet been re-
ceived of the reported capture of %

Toxic, May 2-The Japanese have

which the Russians occupied in force.
The Japanese captured Kiulien-

Their attack was intrepid. The whole

Tennessee Crop Outlook.

The weekly crop bulletin of the
United States department of agri-
culture for Tennessee has been is
sued for the week ended April 25:
During the early part of the week
generally favorable weather prevailed
and farm work was pushed forward
with vigor, but, about the middle
of the week conditions changed to
cold, with rain, sleet and snow, in
the middle and western counties, and
the heaviest snowfall of the season
throughout the northern and central
portions of the Eastern division,
from two to five inches being various
ly reported, This was followed on
the morning of the 21st by low tenn
perature, several degrees below freez-
ing, which caused much injury to
tender vegetation, including early
garden vegetables, Irish potatoes
and fruits; the injury to the pros
pective peach and pear crops is va
riously estimated; in some places
reports indicate a total loss; in 9th
ers from one-third to two-thirds; it
is probably too early yet to prop
erly estimate the damage. Corn
planting and plowing were in poJr
progress during the week when the
weather and conditions of the soil
favored the work. In the western
and southern counties cotton plant
ing was becoming general. The
ground has been too cold for proper
termination; as a result corn is slow
in coming up. Wheat is looking
well, as a rule; some fields of late
sown wheat are being plowed up.
Spring oats are reported i'll good
condition of growth; winter oats
were mostly killed out. Clover and
meadow grasses are doing well. To-
bacco plants are reported small with
rather poor stands in the beds; ii is
thought that the area planted out
this year will be much less than The
average, and in some sections The
surplus area will be devoted to vege-
tables. In the Western division,
early tomato plants were greatly in
jured by the late cold weather.
Strawberries in that division are
and shipping will begin IL
a few days. Pastures are making
slow growth. The week closed with
warm, showery weather.

There were some 10000 Russians
holding the four-mile front
"The Russians made two stands. The
enemy's strength included all of the
third division, two regiments of the
sixth division, one cavalry brigade,
about 40 quick-firing guns and eight
machine guns. We have taken %
quick-firing guns, many rifles, much
ammunition, more than 20 officers and
many non-commissioned officers and
men as prisoners.
81 am informed that Maj. Kashta-
linsky, commander of the third East
Siberian rifles brigade, and Lieut. Gen.
Sassulitch, commander of the Second
Siberian army corps, were wounded.
Our casualties numbered about 700,
and the Russian loss is more than 800
men"
A bridge across the main stream of
the Yalu, Just above Wiju, was COM
pleted at eight o'clock Saturday night,
and the second Japanese division and
the imperial guards Immediately be-
gan crossing. They advanced and oc-
cupied the hills back of Kosan, facing
the Russian position on the right bank
of the river. All through Saturday
night regiment after regiment of Jap
anese soldiers polred across the bridge,
and at a late hour Saturday night Gen.
Kuroh telegraphed to the general staff
of the army:
81 will attack the enemy on May

True to his promise, Gen. Kuroki, at
daylight, centered all his artillery on
the Russian position between Chiu
Tien Cheng and Yoshoko. To this fire
the Russians made reply with all their
batteries.
The Japanese strength is estimated
at 10000.

Better Wheat Yield.

From reports received by W. W.
Ogilvie, commissioner of agricul-
ture, the indications point to a
much better wheat yield this year
than last, and it is safe to estimate
that, with favorable conditions from
now until harvest, the wheat yield
for this year will be not less than
rs per cent, and may be as much as
90 per cent of the average yield for
the past five wears.

~ OLD Shields Lost = Rehoboam
VI was the proud and happy possessor
Of 800 gold shields. But the day came
when he lost them. He was stripped
of his treasures. His house was left
desolate. Sin had been eating like a
corroding acid at the very roots and
vitals of his and the nations life, and
within five years we hehold Shishak and
his hosts sweeping down upon Judah
and Jerusalem and taking away those
things which had been the glory and de-
light of the king. The gold shields typ
flying Gods protection and purity were
lost. And the Christian sometimes. yea,
often, loses his golden shields of Gods
purity and protection. His heart is
stripped bare of the splendid treasure
Sin, as in the case of Rehoboam, has
crept up, and up, and up into the life
until the enemy has come and stripped
US of the purity of the presence of
Christ and carried off into far country
the sense of the protection of God The
gold shields lost. Rehoboam forsook the
law Of his God, and the entering wedge,
I am inclined to believe. was a mere
perfunctory discharge of his religious
obligations. He lost sight of God, he
forgot the meaning of those shields of
gold and gloried only in their external
beauty and richness. He delighted in
the magnificent procession to the temple
only because the glitter and show of the
golden shields went with him. And from
the hollow pretense of Journalism is only
step into positive and destructive sin.
He forsook God in spirit, and he soon
forsook the law Of God as well
