Toxic. Sept. 23.-The impression Ia
growing generally that an engagement
will soon take place at Mukden. Karo-
ypatkia is evidently preparing to make
a determined resistance to any attempt
ITO dlspossess him, and is ~intrenching
and constructing defenses. He has an
Immense force available, but the opin-
ion is expressed that Tie pass would
he a more favorable location for de-
Tense. The Russians. however, are
unwilling to suffer the loss of pres
tige which would be involved by the
abandonment of Mukden. Both armies
are now rested, having recovered from
the effects Of the fight at Lao Yang.

the Japanese are speedily restoring the

rolling stock, with captured cars and
engines, and with the Lao river open
the task of transporting men and sup
plies to the advanced base of opera
lions at Lao Yang is simple.
There is much speculation now as
TO the extent of the fall and winter
campaign. 1t is generally thought Oya-
ma will continue pressing Kuropatkin
back until winter falls. and will then
strongly guard his advance Linz until
spring. The Japanese carried on an
aggressive campaign against the Chi
7lese during the winter. but the condi-
Aions are different in this war.
The renewal of the attack upon Port

HAVE NOT CROSSED THE HUN.
Story of Sensational Move by the Japs
Denied at ST. PETERSBURG.

st. Petersburg. Sept. 23.-General XII
ropatkin telegraphs that the Japanese
yesterday twice attacked the position
occupied by the Russians in Da pass,
and that they were repulsed and their
turning movement checked by the Rus
stan cavalry with machine guns.
kuropatkin declares the situation at
the front unchanged. The most re-
liable information does not indicate a
resumption OF the Japanese offensive
for some days.
The reports hat Kuroki had crossed
the Hun river at Fushun turn out to be
false. The Russians strongly hold the
road to Fushun and B~entsiaputze. il
is pointed out that If the Japanese had
occupied Fushun the Russians would
have been compelled to evacuate Muk-
den, since Fushun is nearer to Tie Pass.

Post for a Grand Duke.

st. Petersburg. Sept. 23.-The em-
peror has appointed his uncle. the
Grand Duke Sergius Michaelovitch, 10
the newly created post of inspector
general of artillery.
The appointment Of Grand Duke
Sergius practically confers on him
charge of the whole artillery of the
Russian army. although his father, the
aged Grand Duke Michael, retains the
nominal title Of grand master of ordi-
nance. Sergius is. only 35 years old,
and won his promotion to the rank of
major general of artillery by sheer
merit. He is a ~tireless worker and
recognized as the leading Russian ar
tiilery expert. The lack of artillery
which has hampered Russian opera
tons throughout the campaign will
certainly be remedied under the ener-
getic young inspector.

HOW TO COOK
MAY VEGETABLES

The housekeeSer who wishes her
family to reap real benefits from the
vegetable season, markets as soon as
possible in the day, before heat. dust
and handling get in their deadly work.
If she is among the first at the green
grocer's, she has the double reward of
serving her family well and feasting
her own eyes on the array of dewy,
crisp spring colorings.
There is no such thing as bargains
in vegetables. Green things which lie
wilted are sold at reduced prices, but
the cook throws away more than the
marketer saves. Vegetables should
always be crisp and firm.
When pea and bean pods refuse to
crack, but droop Imply in the hand,
they are not worth carrying home.
Heat makes cucumberS, radishes and
all salads stringy, and where the mis-
tress is within daily reach of the mar
kets, it is best to buy only in daily
quantities, as frequently the vegeta-
bles have already been brought long
distances.
The freshest of vegetables may be
ruined by slovenly cooking. These
general rules should always be borne in
mind:
If vegetables show the slightest trace
of wilt, drop them in cold, clear, I'M
sailed water for half an hour before
cooking. All vegetables should be
dropped into water that is boiling
briskly. To lie for moment in luke

coming to boil. means they will be-
come soggy and stringy.
For all green vegetables, add tea
spoon of salt to every half gallon of
water. All vegetables grown under
ground. such as potatoes and turnips,
should be boiled In unsalted water, as
salt makes them tough and hard.
Fresh vegetables should be cooked

The Ditch and After
BY HARRISON SMITH.

II was hard to be put on the hos
,ital list at the very beginning of the
bunting season; it was harder yet to
hc told that one must not ride for a
YEAR at least-perhaps never again.
Gertrude Mason bit her lip as she
thought of that treacherous ditch, hid
don by growth of innocent-looking
rushes.
She sat on the veranda of the club
house in the early afternoon sunshine,
and ran her eye wistfully over the
rae,Ilation assembly a run of the
Trnxton hounds always brought to-
Gather. There was little Mrs. Pack
ard with eyes for no one save her big,
handsome husband, who sat on a
horse better than anyone else there;
and young Purdon. the soul of con-
reit who fused at his mounts bit
and shouted nervously when the horse
rhafed at such handling; and Dumont,
gray haired, near-sighted. but the
keenest rider of them all; and fiirta-
tious Miss karin talking to a dozen
men at once, Drury and Phillips and
Lamar among them.
II was an ideal day for the run. The
girls eyes beheld longingly the slop-
ing fields and clumps of woods stand
ing out sharply in the sunshine. She
felt a lump in her throat and her eyes
grew misty when the hounds, in
charge of two scarlet-coated hunts
men, were started towards the covert.
She turned away and her under lip
quivered.
Although she did not know it, La
mar had been watching her closely.
A particularly neat bit of cynicism
from Miss karin fell on unheeding
