Cheng. and main army is proceeding
toward that place, which is 40 mi ,ks
from the Yalu. Russian scouts Are
falling back to the river. Japanese do
not expect opposition until they reach
the Yalu river.
Russian troops by rapid concentra-
ton in Manchuria, have, it is believed,
made impossible the success of Japs
in an attack on Newchwang or ada
cent territory.
Japanese army now only awaits mo-
bilization of second army before pro-
ceeding against Russians on the Yalu

Tuesdays War News.

Kobe, Japan, says the Japanese govern
ment has 26O, 900 troops in motion and
Efully &C, 1000 more under arms in gar
risons and at the depots. These num-
bers are exclusive of the third reserves,
numbering 100000, which have not
been called to the colors.
The exact number of troops which
have left Japan for their various desti-
nations is not known, but the entire
first army has been landed and has es-
tablished itself in northern Korea with
its main base at Chinampo.
The general staff still carefully
guards the plan of campaign, but it is
generally believed that they will oper-
ate three armies, each nominally num-
bering 100, 900 men, the second army
landing west Of the Yalu river and the
third army west of Newchwang.
Russians at Cbefoo admit that there
was another bombardment of Port Ar
thur by the Japanese on Sunday.
No authentic particulars of the engage
ment are oEtainable.. According to the
latest reports, Liaoanyg is now compal
atively quiet. 1t is held by 5000 men,
the main force having moved toward
the Yalu. All indications point to
decisive battle soon in the neighbor-
hood of Antung, barring some power
full flank movement on the part of the
Japanese forces. The Russians are now
busy certifying in the neighborhood of
Antung.
1t is reported that 500 Cossacks oc-
mmanded by General Artmanoff, have
occupied Unsan, Korea, forestalling
the japanese who were marching on

Pingyang, Korea.-The Japanese sol
diers and equipment seem to command
universal admiration. Not one dis
senting voice is to be heard among
the European and American residents
In Korea. On the contrary, favorable
comparison is made with our own
troops and the troops of Europe.
In the first place, food, luggage and
everything which must be carried with
an army are done up in packages that
can easily be handled by individuals
unaided, and which, if needs be. can
be carried on the backs of the men.
So there are no army wagons or army
mules. Packhorses and coolies do the
work, and. though many Korean bull
lock carts have been put into service,
there is no necessity for them.
The rice. which is the staple food, is
done up in 60 pound packages. One
coolie can carry sack all day over
the most rugged country. Two sacks
go to make the load of a Korean pony
and from three to four sacks the load
of Japanese pony. Meat is put up
in one-half pound tins, so Of which
tins are incased in box. One horse
under three of these boxes carries one
meat ration for a company. -Four

Ready to Force Yalu.

Weihaiwei, April Al have just re-
turned from a four days cruise, in
which | visited one Japanese base and
passed close to the entrance of Port
Arthur harbor. My message giving
the particulars of the late Japanese
attempt on Port Arthur was sent by
wireless from the Korean coast, a dis
lance Of over 100 miles, showing that
our apparatus is in perfect condition
and can be relied upon in case of
emergency.
The situation in Korea. so far as
could be learned at Japanese head
quarters, is about as follows: Gen
eral Kurokis, who is in command of
the Japanese guard, is now in posi-
ton to force the passage of the Yalu
river at any time which the japanese
general staff decides is the most dan
gerous to strike. He is, however, ap-
parently awaiting the mobilization of
the second Japanese army before at
tempting any important move. This
second development is well under way.

JUDGE WAS TO BLAME
Remarkable Case of MisCar-
rage of Justice in Great
Britain investigated.

London. Nov 25.-The report of the
committee Of inquiry in the case of
Adolph Beck, who for the crimes of
William Thomas, alias John Smith,
served a term of five years imprison-
ment in England on the charge of OBJ
tanning money and jewels from women
under false pretenses, places practical
" the entire blame for the miscarriage
of justice upon the judge. Sir Forest
Fulton, who excluded from Beck's trial
in 1896 all evidence favorable TO the ac-
cused, and who refused to state case
for the consideration of a higher court.
The report eXOnerates the police and
other officials from all charges OF con-
spiracy, but finds that the action Of the
home Office in dealing with the case
was defective owing to lack of legal
training on the part Of the subordi-
mates.
eIne committee remarks that IL Is an
extraordinary fact that in the trial of
1904 the innocent man. Beck, was con-
victed through the ignorance Of the
police and public prosecutor of the ma
terial fact known TO the home office
and the prison authorities that Beck
and Smith were not the same persons,
as allegde by the prosecution, and
points out the necessity for bringing
the different public officials concerned
into such coordination rs TO make the
information acquired by one available
to all.
