Retreating Before Japanese.

The advance guard CT the japanese
army in northwestern Korea, occupied
the town of Sengcheng Saturday after
noon without opposition. Sengcheng is
on the Peking road, Is miles west of
Chenju and about 40 miles south Of
Win. When the japanese drove the
Russians out of Chengju last Monday
the Russians withdrew in two columns,
one going over the Koaksan road and
the other over the Peking road The
Japanese advance from Chengiu was
made very rapidly. 1t was anticipated
that the Russians would resist this
advance, but they failed to do so, and
now it is not probable that there will
be any further opposition south Of the
Yalu river
Chenju' because of its superior natural
surroundings is the strongest place be,
tween Pingyang and Win. Besides these
natural advantages there is an old
Korean fort there, which, had it been de-
Tended with spirit, would have been
hard to take.
Russian patrols are reported to be in
the country east of the Picking road,
but it is not probable that there is any
considerable force of Russians in that
section. The patrols are Withdrawing
gradually to the northward, toward the
Yalu.
1t is reported that the ice on the
Yalu is well broken up, and in the
future the river must be crossed either in
junks or over pontoon bridges.

ditions of maximum speed, at about ] 20
revolutions a minute, The steam neces-
sary to this power will be supplied at a
pressure of $50 pounds a square inch, by
"a Niclausse water-tube boilers, placed
four in each of six independent watel-
tight compartments.
The Virginia will carry four Pinch
guns, 40 calibers in length, mounted by
pairs in balanced turrets, one turret be-
ing forward of the superstructure and
the other aft, and each having total

Mr.. Cleveland's Denial.

In letter addressed to William E.
Abernethy, OF Chase City, Va, EXPIRES
ident Grover Cleveland denies the charges
made by Tom f. Watson that he invited
the negro Fred Douglas to reception
and that he signed bill providing for
mixed schools while governor of New
York. The letter is dated March q,
and says:
"My attention has been several times
called to the statements of Mr.. Tom r..
Watson to the effect that Fred Douglas
was invited TO my wedding reception,
and. further, that while governor |
signed bill providing tor mixed schools.
| have already written two or three
letters denying these allegations, and do
not propose to spend any more time deny
ing statements so absurd and emanating
from such an impossible source. Each
and every one of Mr.. Watson's charges
(if they can be so called, as they have
been presented to me, is false. They are
about as far from the truth as they can
be, and they were made, l have no doubt,
without the least reason to believe them
to be true ard certainly in spirit of
which even Mr.. Watson ought to be
ashamed"

MONDAY EVENING. APRIL 4, 1904.

YESTERDAY was celebrated through
ont most of the world in commentator
of the resurrection of the Founder OF the
Christian religion. While the feast Is
formally honored by comparatively few
of the evangelical bodies of our day, Its
snirit animates all of them, and the day
is more or less observed wherever the
cross has been planted. Upon the
resurrection of Christ hinges the entire
fabric upon which the Christian religion
is based, and that it was an accom-
plshed fact has been believed since the
day il occurred. There are many rea-
sons for this belief which need not be
placed before readers of a secular news
paper The mere fact that attempts
were made to conceal what did occur
at the time is the best attestation OF ITS
truth. Easter this year probably brought
more 10Y to the hearts of people in this
vicinity than On many former occasions.
We are emerging from long and trying
winter, and while the Easter bells were
ringing, high and cold northwest winds
were making themselves heard and felt.
We have, however, passed the equinox,
and mellow spring, which usually ac-
companies or Immediately follows Easter,
will not long be deferred.

A PRorECr1oNIsT organ demurely re-
marks that, Notwithstanding the higher
cost of living, there is a reduction OF
wages in numerous cases due to de-
creased consumption" When there was
a reduction of wages because OF de-
creased consumption in 1884 the pseu'
domaniacal organs of protection easily
persuaded panic stricken people that
il was all on account OF the wicked
democratic tariff that had not yet been
enacted into a law. But now, as sug-
gested by the Philadelphia Record, when
republican policy in a plundering and
laundering tariff is beginning once more
to yield its customary fruits, there is no
democratic tariff upon which its cham
pions can put the blame.
