RUSSIANS AND CHINESE
The Relations Between Them Are
Said to Be the Worst Possible.

Berlin, May ga correspondent
of the Frankfurter Zeitung, writing
from Hardin under date Of April Is,
gives striking details illustrative of
the conditions of the Russian army
and the relations between the Rus
SLAMS and the Chinese.
He says that two officers, Lieuten-
ant Colonel Korlingski and Staff Cap
tain Ignotowitch, are in the Hardin
prison awaiting sentences of death
for selling gunpowder to the Chinese
from the army depots. The officers
charged the Chinese $25 per thirty
six pounds, but their supplies running
low, they filed the boxes partly with
sand and placed layer of gunpowder
raised the price to $50. The Chi
nese merchants, incensed at the swim
die, caused the matter to be made
known in higher quarters.
The robber bands are we'll supplied

The robber bands have grown bold

guarded railway station. The Rus.

Japanese officers in command.

make the seconding speech of the
Roosevelt nomination at Chicago, and
that Joe Cotton of Duluth will have
to be contented with doing something

A probable change in the program
has been brought about by the recent
developments in Wisconsin, and Hill
nois and the desire of the leaders to
have seconding speeches made by
well known men.
Another complication is the candi-
dacy Of c.. A. Smith Of Minneapolis

coveted honor and the leaders do not
want any more contention than can be

Relations With u. S.
Special to The Journal.

Speclal TO Inc journal. sstas5 5000 ISL
Toronto, Ont, May 23.-The Cana
dian papers printed recently reports
of a meeting held In Boston, atswhich
a committee of prominent men was
appointed to carry on campaign for
reciprocity with Canada and to inn
press on congress the strong senti-
ment in it's favor prevailing in the
New England states.
Whenever Canada is mentioned in a
dispatch, that dispatch will be printed,
but that fact does not say that Canada
subscribes to the views expressed.
Reciprocity is not live topic in Can
ada to-day. In the great west, where
American settlers make that bit of
Canada strongly American, the desire
for closer relations with the United
States may be considered active, but
in the older portions of the Dominion
merely an academic interest is taken
in the subject.
Times are good in Canada and the
people are contented under the exist
ing tariff regulations. What Canada
would do if the United States were to
| fight her with tariff weapons is an
other question. But so long as the
| present treatment is Ineted out Can
ada thinks she can get along nicely
| without altering trade relations with
| Uncle Samuel.
If a bad harvest should strike the
west it is not unlikely that an impe-
tus would be given to the ideas of the
| Boston school in Canada. For the
time being, however, Canada is trying
to remedy tariff evils by revision Of
| the schedules in the nature of an adj
vance, but not all along the line. The
wooden industry has been almos1
killed by reason of the stiff preference
given to British goods. More protec'
ton will be given to the wooden man.

bonus, to offset the advantage the
British maker gets.
! The various minor grievances thai
have cropped up will be dealt with
when w. S. Fielding, minister Of
finance, delivers his budget speech al
/ Ottawa next week. But it is safe tc
wager that he will have not one wore
to say for reciprocity with the United
States at this time. The very truth Of
| the matter is that Canada is feeling
her oats and thinks she can stand
alone against the whole world, includ.
! ing Uncle Sam.
| Andrew Carnegie has sized up the
hope of Canada. On May Is, in open

he quoted letter he had written t
the Winnipeg Historical society, II
which he said that it was Canada's
mission to bring about the union o:
America and the motherIand. HI

have been posted giving news Of sue
cess in the operations before Port Ar

vision of trans-Baikal Cossacks on
Friday while attempting to stop the
Japanese advance north from Ta-ku-
shan. This engagement was one OF
the most spirited of the war. The
Twenty-fifth regiment of the Thir-
teenth brigade and two companies of
the Seventh cavalry were west Of the
Loku mountains on Friday afternoon
and were preparing to march on a
bridge thrown across the Liau-yang
river, fifteen miles northwest Of Ia
Russian, when three squadrons Of
trans-Baikal Cossacks coming from
the hills on the other side, made a de-
termined assault. Major General An

fantry columns in the meantime ford
ing the river north and south of the
bridge.
The Cossacks were Immediately un-
der a cross fire, which became hot as
the infantry advanced yard by yard,
the Japanese cavalry holding the
bridge and forcing the Cossacks to
spread out on the west bank.
The Cossacks retired only after a
brilliant infantry charge against them,
in which Lieutenant Nehamo and four
sacks were left on the field and the
wounded must number from forty to
fifty. The engagement lasted twenty
minutes. The Japanese lost two
killed. Three Of the cavalry and sew

A VIEW OF THE WAR TO DATE
What Is Said at ToliO-The London
Times Summary.

TOXIC, May 23.-General Kuroki's
advance guard is believed to- have
reached the valley Of Shutshu, almost
due east of Mukden. Its lines OF COM
munication with the main army Of
the Yalu are considered secure.
1t is expected that the Russians will
make occasional sOrties against Ku-
roki's reconnoitering parties, but the
Japanese will be able to drive thSm
back. Any delay in the general ad-
vance may be attributed to the desire
of the islanders to support their far
flung enveloping line with adequate
reserves. Troops constantly are land
ing at several points on the Manehu-
rian coast. Fighting on the L1ao-tung
peninsula must preoede direct opera
tons for the reduction of Port Arthur.
The Japanese intend to clear the
Liao-tung peninsula of all danger be-
fore undertaking siege.
London, May 23.-The :. London
Timse correspondent cables as follows:
The Japanese situation at the beginning
Of this week Is as follows: General kurok1
is still at Feng huang- cheng, where he
found it necessary to halt, in the first
place to pull his force together for an. ad-
vance over the heavy country lying be-
tween him! and Liao-yang, and. secondly
to await the landing of the third army
corps which will advance northward to-
wards the same objective point until it is
able to cooperate with him.
The fortunes of General Oku's army
corps show some, success, but he is meet
ing a stubborn resistance. 1t Is now safe
to estimate the forces Japan has placed in
Manchuria on the Liao-tung peninsula at
$50, 900 men. 1t can be said with practical
| certainty that by the end of the current
week General Oku's forces will be In
complete occupation Of the whole Lao
tung peninsula with the exception Of the
Kwan- tung peninsula proper.
Altho the ultimate fate Of Port Arthur
is hopeless, yet IL the Russians maintain
an attitude which their field works indi-
cate Port Arthur will not fall without
heavy sacrifices to- the Japanese. State
ments with regard to foodstuffs are con-
ficting, but we know that considerable
food still reaches Pigeon Bay by Junks
from the coast of China OF coal they are
short but their uses for coal are now
practically vanished. Ammunition is not
short.
The Russians, who are in a desperate
frame of mind, have now realized that
they are shut in hopelessly and have made
their desperation an excuse to sow the
whole gulf with floating block Of mines
Even as the act Of a desperate garrison
this is plain violation of the laws OF
nations.

Japanese Cavalry Believe They Are
More Than Match for CossaclSs.

Copyright 1904, by Major Frederick Mckenzie.
Kobe, May 23.-In the early part
of last week rode far into#the in
terror of southern Manchuria. saw
many signs of hasty retreat by the
Russians.
The Chinese in Manchuria favor the
Russians and both sides show sin
gular respect for the feelings and
property of the natives. Outrages are
practically unknown, and the Rus
slams are retrieving an unenviable
reputation earned in the Boxer CAM
paign.
Both sides are making great prepa-
rations for a battle around Liao-yang.
This engagement is expected within
two or three weeks. The Russians,
while displaying superb individual
valor, show a lack of foresight and ex-
ecutive ability in their movements.
The Russian trenches around Kill
lien-cheng were disgracefully primi-
tive, affording no protection against
shell fire. 81
Steaming thru the Yellow sea later
in the week, I saw Japanese trans
ports in every direction travelling with
out escort, as they needed no protec-
ton. The sea was sprinkled with
monster vessels displaying the red and
white colors Of Japan. Sometimes as
many as ten of these ships were to be
counted at the same time.
Steamers captured from the Rus
slams now take to the front Japanese
gunners who will use the captured
Russian guns, filling them with
| charges Of Russian shell.
The health of the Japanese army Is
strikingly good, despite serious hard
ships, and the spirits Of the soldiers
are higher than ever. Even the cav
airy Is now convinced that six Japan
csc are able to attack and defeat
| twenty Cossacks. The rivalry be-
tween the different divisions of the
| Jap army is fostered by the territorial
system, which results In each division
being determined not to be outdone in
valor by any others.
