In the Dark as Concerns Japanese
Territory.
st. Petersburg, May 9--The Russian
authorities are completely in the dark
as to what is happening in the terri
tory occupied by the Japanese except
Isuch news as comes from the neWspa-
pers abroad and originating from Jap
Ianese sources. The reports of the Jap
anese landing at Takushan and the in
vestment of Port Dalny etc, while not
confirmed officially, are not denied.
The Novoe Vremya this morning is
greatly excited over the action OF the
Swedish authorities in mining the en-
trance of the harbor of Site, on the
island of Gothland in the Baltic Sea-
demanding that the foreign office ascer
tain the cause, seemingly forgetting
that Site was occupied as base by
the British fleet operating against St.
Petersburg at the time of the Corean
war; Viceroy Alexieff refuses to re-
ceive any more foreign correspondents.
Next Battle Expected at Lao Yang.
London, May 9-Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister, looks for the next
engagement OF the war to take place
at Liao Yang. He said today: General
KuroRi probably is on march to that
place and General kuropatkin should
give battle there. Indeed from the
signs OF his concentration, he may as
sumo the offensive. But for his defeat
at the Yalu River this movement might
be very dangerous Under existing
conditions. however, General Kuroki
ought to be able to drive General Kuro-
patkin back. In the event of our occu-
patton of New Chwang he will at once
appoint a civil administration and op-
en- the port to the commerce of the
world.
A Force of Russians at Chang jim.
Seoul, May 9-The Japanese consul
at Gensan telegraphs that force of
the Russians, number unknown, ac-
companied by Manchurian mounted
bandits, crossed the Yalu above Wiju,
advanced southeast and occupied
Chang jim, 100 miles west of Song Gin
on May 5.

st. Petersburg, May 9--It is officially
announced that General Kuropatkins

He has no intention, at least at present,
of retiring from there.

ranted by a calm consideration of the
situation. While not attempting to
minimizing the Importance OF the adj
vantages gained by the enemy in the
occupation of the Lao Tung peninsular
and their advance from the Yalu River,
the general staff nevertheless de-
clares that if it had not been for Gener-
al Zassalitch's rash stand, the Yalu re-
treat and the concentration of General
Kuropatkin's army upon it's normal line
of defense would have been regarded
as mastery piece of strategy. AT
the general staff the one dominant
idea is that the developments during
the last few days make it certain that
the war will be long and bitter. There
it is said. half million men would
have been required to hold southern
Manchuria. The real truth seems to
be that Kuropatkin has not over 200,-
900 south of Hardin and he is deter
mined to pursue the plan mapped out
at first-to allow the enemy to follow
him back into the heart of Manchuria,
until it is strong enough to assume the
offensive. The Associated Press is in
formed that while the Russian garrison
is still at New Chwang the untenabiI-
ity of it's position is fully realized and
preparations for the dismantling of the
forts and the removing of the garrison
have been completed.
The Russian gElboat the Givohcf,
there will be destroyed. The same
thing applies to Hal Cheng, 25 miles
southeast of New Chwang. The ques-
tion of holding the Russian position at
Liao Yang depends on circumstances.
The ultimate retirement to Harbin
might possibly incur the danger of a
Chinese uprising, which increases
with Japanese success and must be TAX
en- into consideration. The possibility
of active operations against Vladivo-
stock also have to be reckoned with.
The general st: fl inveighs against a
too pessimistic view of the situation
and repeats the words of the command
er-in-chief, Patience, patience They
also insist that the full extent OF the
Russian losses on the Yalu have been

the following to say of the presidential

The POPULAR VOTE.

When the estimate of the popular
vote at the coming election IS pe'hs
nlaced at 100000, it suggests COM
PARSONS. Going back to jackson lifs'
election in 1924, the popular vote loi
the successful candidate totaied less
than 156, 900, with a plurality over Johii
@ Adams. Of a little more than $4,000.
Four wears later in 1928, the jackson
vote had increased to nearly bso,ooo ana
his plurality to $4,000. In 1885 Marhh
Van Ruren received $40 votes and
bis nl,,rality was a little less than 2b,-
600. William Henry Harrison's vote
was the first that ran above the mlilloh
mark exceeding it by nearly 3o0.0oo.
His opponent Van Buren,. also ran
considerably above the million. Linz
coins vote in 1864 was the hrst
that passed the two millions put
his plurality over Mcclellan was nearly
a half million. Grant, in '6S. received
trifle more than three million votes.
In the memorable campaign OF 10,
rnden's vote was 4.2S4,SS5. Hayes, A.

candidate received plurality of more
than 100000 over the successful one.

him a popular vote of 5,5ss,2SS, with
a plurality of 62,6s3 Mckinley. on his
first election, passed the seven millions
nv more than 100000. His plurality
was 600. 900 in round numbers.
It is to be noted that the tota! vote
in 1900 was only a few thousands
larger than the vote in 1896, the figures
having been respectively 13,595.6o3 and
13,923,102. The unanimity OF political
on;nlon and preference made the cleo
ton of 1900 perfunctory and the
comparatively light vote indicates that
hundreds OF thousands of voters stayed
away from the polls. as satisfied with
the probable outcome.
This years election is likely to bring
out the popular vote more entirely and
it need not be surprising II Roosevelts
popular vote exceeds 100000.

development of continent the figures
of eight years of the popular vote dis

bitterest in American history in which
a battle occurred between the strikers

Pullman strike and the sympathetic
strike that followed it in 1894 made
the newly elected democratic president

because of his sending regular troops
to prevent the strikers interfering with

1t Is the first time since Cleveland

among the special interests, the pro-
