Specializing on Japan's Plans.
CIV Associated Press.l


st. Petersburg, May 30.-According
to information received by the Assoc
ciated Press from q high source i'm
portant news regarding the Japanese
plan of campaign which has reached
the Russian authorities since the BAT
tie of Kin Chou compels the conviC-
ton that the advance of General
Kuroki and the activity of his scouts
northwest and southwest of Feng-
Wang Cheng are parts of We'll exc
cuted feint to prevent General kuro-
patkin from detaching a strong force
to hamper General Oku's operations
on the Lao Tung peninsula. Under
cover of General Kurokis screens, 1t
is added, part of the japanese army
landed at Taku Shan will be moved
southwark into the peninsula, while
Kuroki attempts to make Kuropatkin
believe that he intends to force a de-
ciSive engagement with him.
This information would tend to
prove that the primary object of the
japanese campaign all along has been
Port Arthur and that once that for
tress is in their hands, unless an eX-
ceedingly favorable opportunity oHers
to attack Kuropatllin, the Japanese
plan is simply to make their tenure
secure and force the Russian cGm-
mander to assume the offensive. More
over, there is information to the effect
that the Japanese propose to storm
Port Arthur with the bri afeSt poSSit lie
delay, after having first closed the
harbor TO render the egress Of the
Russian ships impossible at the last
moment, thus forcing the Russians
to destroy them without subjecting the
Japanese to the inevitable losses
which must occur if the Russian
squadron gets out for a last fight be-
fore going to the bottom. The p, evil
Gus repeated efforts of the Japanese
to cork" the harbor nave been as
much with the view to this ultimate
situation as for protecting landings.

A BASIS OF UNION.

(By the ASSOcldteu ItSS'J
Greenvlle, Pa, May 30-The United
PRESBYTERIAN General Assembly recon-
vened today. The greater part OF the
morning session was taken up by a
discussion on the question of union
with the Associated Reformed Presby-
terrain Church of the South. A basis
has already been referred to its pres
byteries by the Associated Reformed
Church, and thus sent to the general
assembly of the United Presbyterian
Church for adoption. This basis is a
modification of the basis proposed by
the u. p. General Assembly last year.
The notifications are technical but
brought out much discussion. The "A.
II. Church objects to subscribing to
the article of faith referring to SlaV-
cry and the committee recommends
that this objection be sustained and
be "held in allegiance" inasmuch as
these social conditions no longer exist
DR.. Mcfarland, of Muskingum. o.,

ing the adoption of it was equivalent
to saying the u. p. Church was wrong
during the war. The majority consid-
cred it a dead issue.
After the resolutions were hopeless
" entangled with amendments, the
question of basis of union was recon-
mitted to the committee.

ALExIEF AND KURoPATKIN.
But for Public Opinion the Car
Would 'ScaIp' Both.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
London, May 31.-The reports pun
lished in Paris of discord in the N
terview between General kuropatklii
and Viceroy Alexieff at Mukden ana
of the southern movement OF the rus
sion vanguard below Watengtleh
have given rise to rumors that Gen-
eraI Kuropatkin has yielded TO the
wishes of the Alexeff party and is
attempting to relieve Port arthur.
Among sober papers here, however,
the idea that General kuropatkin
would venture on such dangerous
and hopeless movement is not taken
seriously.
According to correspondent at ia
panese headquarters up to May 18th,
nothing important had developed be-
yond outpost encounters. Japanese
troops are largely engaged in building
roads and bridges.
The Standards correspondent says
that General Kurolxi gave a lucheon
to his military attaches to celebrate
the victory on the Valu while almost
simultaneously the Japanese first
army was informed of the Kin Chou
victory.
The same correspondent indicates
the reason for delay in the operations
He says that the force that landed al
Tawushan appears to have strucfl the
fringe or the rainy season.. Inc uo"ll-
pour has been very heavy.
General Kuropatkin, the st. Peters
burg correspondent says, is frightine
two enemies, one at home, the other
in Manchuria. While his military re-
putation is undergoing a terrible or
deal he is also accused of failure as
Minister of War, to make proper prep
arations for war. The Emperor is
alleged to be SO dissatisfied that he
would dismiss both AleXieff and kuro-
patkin were it not that he fears the
effect on public opinion. The genera
| impression among the highest classes
| is that the fall of Port Arthur ough
| to end the war and that if the Jpan-
csc succeed in this aim Rus
sia's best interest would be to make
peace, but nobody, the correspondent
| AYERS. possesses the moral courage tC
make such a suggestion to the EN-
peror.
The correspondent also asserts tha
the agreement is drafted whereby
Germany promises armed support tc
| Russia if necessary to prevent Eng
| land and the United States from at

and declares that the recent relaxation
