Chicago. May 24.-Five hundred
members of the Illinois Manufacturers
association and their guests were pres
ent at the banquet of that organiza-
tion, which vas held last night at the
Auditorium hotel. The chief address Of
the evening was made by William G.
Brown, vice president Of the New York
Central Railroad company, who spoke
on Our Country and Our Railroads"
After reference to the vast and rapid
growth of the railroad interest of the
United States and It, effect upon busi-
ness Of every Kind, he declared that
within so years the wisdom of securing
the Philippine islands would be as tri.'
umphantly vindicated as has that OF
the Louisiana purchase. Continuing,
he said:
''The most serious menace that
clouds our national horizon to-day,
ominous now and increasing in size
and anger and portent, is the rapid
growth Of our cities as compared with
our agricultural districts. No man can
regard the growth of the great centers
Of population, with their sinister, dan
gerous, preponderating influence in the
politics of the state and nation, with
out alarm. The remedy for this evil
and the safety Of the nation lies in
building up. encouraging and increas-
ing our agricultural population. More
farms and more prosperous farmers,
greater in number and in prosperity,
offer our strongest hope. The reclama-
ton Of our arid lands, the settlement
of the millions of acres of still unculti-
waited, fertile lands of the northwestern
states promise much in this direction.

ADVANCE ON MUKDEN
The Japanese Believed to Have

Russians Blow Up Grounded Battleship
TO Prevent II from Falling Into Hands
of the Japanese-skrydlofr mt
vladivostoL.

London, May 23.-According to q
message received from st. Petersburg
several divisions Of the japanese army
are advancing rapidly en- Mukden. II
this report is true the Japanese forces
are supposed to have outflanked Kuro-
patkin and got around his line Of en-
trenchments or else cut their way
through.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg to
Reuters Telegram company says that
the report of sortie by the Port Ar
thur garrison has not been confirmed.
II appears, says the dispatch, to
have originated in the receipt Of Lieut..
Gen. Stoessel's report Of the fight at
Kin Chau, this. together with the fact
that Gen. Stoessel commands at Port
Arthur, giving rise to the rumor that
the garrison has made a sortie.
Japs Must Have Port Arthur.
New Chwang, May 22.-The officials
have not received any further informa-
ton regarding the fighting which re-
suited in the retreat Of the Japanese
on Feng-Wang-Cheng, but there Is
good authority for saying that the
Japanese movements in the direction
of Liao-Yang and Hai-Cheng were for
the purpose Of causing the Russians
in this vicinity to move northward,
thus giving the Japanese an opportun-
ity to complete their preparations to
capture Port Arthur. When the Japa-
nese begin determined movement in
this vicinity 1t will be from Feng-
Wang Cheng and New Chwang. They
figure that 1t does not matter what
may be the fate of the Yalu army II
they can continue to control the sea
and Port Arthur. The Japanese are
still fortifying the hills on the neck
Of land between Talien-Wan and Kin
Chou bays. Many rapid fire guns pro-
tected by sand bags have been
mounted there with the object of re-
sisting sortie Of the beleagued gar
rison.

tain that the battleship Hatsuse was
sunk by Russian mine ten miles off

makes navigation dangerous for

keenly here. No flags are flying in this

then made by Justice Cameron com.
mitting the defendant to the county
Jail until the fall term of court.
Mrs. Weiner wept at times during
the examination.

tion. conversed with her sister and
s 'me friends as to the disposition o1
the property about the farm.

jail, where she will be held until
