tors on both sides of the chamber. 1t is
expected that by the time the canal bill
shall be disposed of the sundry civil bill will
have been reported from committee, where
upon it will be considered.
During the week there will be discussion
of various other bills, including the bill
for the protection of the President; the

TIMELY FOR HEARST.
Democratic Politicians Do Not Think
Decision Will Help Him Much.

Democratic poiIticians at the Capitol
were very much interested today in the pos
sible effect upon the Hearst presidential
candidacy of the decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the suit which
Mr.. Hearst brought against the anthracite
coal trust. The general effect of the de-
cision, holding that the books which the
coal-carrying roads refused to submit to
the interstate commerce commission must
be produced in evidence, will be construed
as favorable TO Mr.. Hearst's attack against
the trusts. Coming Just at this time when
the Hearst boom seems to be completely
overshadowed by the Parker boom, demo-
Mr.. Hearst will be able to make any capi-
tai for himself out Of the decision.
There is no doubt upon the point that he
will attempt to make all the capital possi-
BILE. and that his newspapers will loudly
proclaim his victory and cit, it as another
reason for supporting him as the only real
trust-buster. Most of the democratic poll
ticians who talked about the matter, and
those who are opposed to the Hearst boom.
agreed with rather 4 long face, that the
decision comes in very pat and timely for
Mr.. Hearst, but they do not believe it will
have the effect upon his political fortunes
which he hopes it may have. Recent de-
velopments in the Parker boom place Judge
Parker so far in the lead that conserve
tive democrats do not think a sentimental
proposition such as Mr. Hearst may work
up from this decision can offset the prac-
tical results already achieved by Judge
Parker's friends.

NEW YORK. April A cablegram from
Tokyo says: According to Japanese reports
the Russians have cavalry posts from
Takushal in southern Manchuria, to the
YaIu river. Between Antuug and Kinkieng
they have constructed batteries on the
heights, but only a few guns have been
mounted in them.
In the same district parapetS and PAL
isades have been erected.
As to the Russian force at Antung, there
IL no definite information, but it is esu-
mated to be 10000. Antung is evidently
the base of the Russian operations in Yalu
district.
The cars forces are expected to dispute
the passage of the river vigorously, mean
while keeping in constant touch with the
Japanese advance and offering all possible
resistance to it.
The chief base of the Russian army ID
Liaoyang, 40 miles from Antung. Accord
ing to the latest reports Liaoyang IS now
comparatively quiet. 1t Is held by eOOo
men, the main force having moved toward
the Yalu Reinforcements, however, are
expected.
All indications point to decisive battle
soon in the neighborhoOd of the Antung,
barring some powerful flank movement on
the part of the Japanese forces. There are
Indications that such movement Is IN
progress. Feng Wang Thong, thirty m les
northwest of Antung, Is held by 900 Rus-
stan troops.
