a telegram has been received there
from Toxic reporting that two jap
anese divisions have arrived close to
Mukden and cut of Kuropatkins line
Of retreat.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 1s.-The
report that the Japanese have taken
up a position north of Mukden. thus
blocking any further retreat of the
Russians, is discredited here. An Of
ficer Of the general stan points out
that the only route by which the
Japanese could have marched thither
ia most mountainous and would have
given the Russians an opportunity of
overwhelming the enemy. 1t is stated
that the general military position of
three Japanese divisions marching
slowly toward Liayang is known. One
Is along the Fen Huang Cheng road
and the others are some distance TO
the right and left. A battle is not ex-
pected for some days owing to the
extreme care and slowness Of the

WHAT Will
TURNER DO
YroYna WHO no NOT WANT HIM
NOMINATED ron GOVERNOR
GIVE 1HADoNv WHY IN WILL
NOT OoMHHMT.

Republicans and democrats alike
are anxiously waiting to know
whether Judge George Turner will
consent to have the subernatorial
nomination forced upon him. The re-
publicans realize that his nomination
would make II difficult for Mr.. Mead
to carry the state OF Washington and
therefore they are IN hopes Mr.. Turn
or will not be candidate for this
position.
Many say the ex-senator will not
consent and give several reasons.
Mr.. Turner is engaged in very
lucrative law practice and has mining
and railroad interests in and about
Spokane from which 1t IL said he Is
making from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year. Most Of this would be given
up Of necessity II he went to Olympia
for four years. where the governor
OF the state IL compelled to reside. It
would thus be at a very heavy sacri-
fee II he accepted the governorship.
no Love for Olympia Life.
Judge Turner Ia nearly so years Of
age and neither he nor Mrs. Turner
looks upon a four years residence
In Olympia with any other feeling
than adherence.
1t is said to be my no means un-
certain that Senator Turner will not
be nominated to the position of vice
president OF the United States. He
has as an ardent supporter Senator
Fred T. Dubois Of Idaho, who today.
although 1t is not generally known
in the west, IL one Of the most in
fiuential men In the city OF Washing
ton
The scheme to have Mr.. Turner
nominated and elected governor with
the idea OF choosing him later to the
United States senate Is not an allur-
ing prospect. for there is no great
probability that the legislature will
20 democratic even with the prospects
of electing Mr.. Turner to the senate.
and there would be a further decided
objection among democrats to turn
ing the rt,te back into the hands Of
lieutena.. governor who probably
would be republican, as would have
20 be done II the governor should be
made senator.
Defeat Would Ne Nad.
Judge Turner would also hesitate
before he accepts the nomination for
governor. for Il 10 by no means GER
T tain that he could be elected. II is
evident eastern Washington would
give him strong support at the polls,
hut eastern Washington has but a
third Of the vote Of the state and
western Washington is expected to
roll UP an immense majority for
Roosevelt with = heavy majority for
the republican state ticket. Mr..
Turner stands today with q great
prestige In the state. which would be
greatly iessened by = defeat at the
polls.
Some democrats propose that In
stead Of nominating Turner for gov
ernor. that he be endorsed by the
democratic state convention for
United States senator. This position
II to his liking and many think on
. straight Turner issue might be won
by him. Such course would also
be far more satisfactory to the
friends Of DR.. P. 9. Byrne, w. w.
