ARTILLERY IN ACTION ALL ALONG THE FRONT.

hence the lines Of communication are more vul-
nerabe from that side. The japanese are in
huenced by similar consideration. but the
railroad no longer plays foremost part in their
plans. In view Of the approaching close of
navigation AT Ying-Kow. and of the fact that
the line from Pitsu-Wo is long and cumbersome
and liable to interruption. they must consider
Wang -Cheng and Taku-Shan as sources
Of supplies during the winter. and the eastern
communications of Liao-Yang are therefore of
the utmos; Importance.
The Yentai triangle is admirably situated TO
protect these lines. and Field Marshal Oyama
must hold It at all costs. The problem now
confronting General Kuropatkln is the capture
Of the fortified heights composing this triangle.
where the japanese VIII have the advantage of
fighting behind breastworks and utilizing their
superiority in mountain guns. The general
superiority of the japanese in mountain opera
tions is conceded
The Russian commander undoubtedly Is aware
Of the difficulties of the task and is confident Of
his ability to overcome them. II General Kuro-
patkin possessed an army OF half million men
he could leave a sufficient force to attack the
triangle while he moved with the remainder
around the eastern and western hanks. This is
considered in the best informed circles at the
War once to be mpracticable with the numbers
now composing General Kuropatkin's army, and
a frontal advance is the only alternative. Oper-
atons however. are likely to be marked by
feints on the right and left. The japanese prob
ably will make similar movements until both
armies become involved in great struggle.
General Kuropatkin telegraphed to the En-
peroT yesterday that the Russian vanguard was
in contact with the Japanese and that scouts
were in action along the entire line.
Field Marshal Oyamas front has been rap
idly narrowing under the pressure of the Rus
sian advance and now does not exceed twenty
miles, extending from the Yentai mines west
ward beyond the railroad.

Baron Hayashis Viescs-Hopes of

London, Oct 1.-THE British government is
closely watching General Kuropatkins forward
movement. Baron Hayashi, the japanese Min
lister here. conveyed such information ne pos
sessed to the Foreign Secretary. Lord Lans-

the ridicule that is being showered by the Eng

Even the assumption of an initiative must
benefit the Russian forces ! have more be-
lief that General Kuropatkin's move is bluff
than ! believe that Marquis Oyama's lack of
aggression is due TO attempt to lure KurO-
patkln into a trap. The situation really seems
simple. Oyama, adopting the most cautious
method, has been fOrtifying step by step. and

STRYKER FARM MOURNS.
Funeral Of T5co of the Yictims of
Poisoned Wkiskeq.

The Strikers Farm district OF the West Side In
which there have been recently many mysterious
and sudden deaths was In mourning yesterday.
Although the coroner police and health authorities
have not vet proved that the deaths were
caused by drinking a poisonous substitute for
whiskey sold I'm the low barrel shops along
Tenth-ave. the people Of the district have accepted
IL as a fact. Hundreds of them stood with bowed
heads the curbs yesterday afternoon when the
funeral professions OF two OF the victims passed.
The funerals of Michael McAulin and Charles
McLeavy both OF No 69S Tenth-ave, were held
at 2:3o p. m. yesterday. They had been delayed

autopsies and secure organs lor analysis by the
chemists Of the Health Department. McAulin was

McAulih was bartender in the Gilded Elephant
saloon, No. 723 Tenth-ave. where most OF the
score who died suddenly obtained the TASKS OF
whiskey from which they drank too freely. The
best evidence that he had no hand in the mixing
OF the poisonous substitute or at least that he
did not know that It dangerous Is that he
drank it himself. Many OF the dead were his most
intimate friends who attracted to the saloon
when he secured employment there.
