Japanese Crossing the YaIu.

Paris. April PA dispatch to the
Temps from st. Petersburg says:
'"The Japanese continue to cross the
Yalu river in small squads. The Rus
sian tactics seem to be not to seriously
oppose these preliminary movements.
THE staff of the ministry of marine
gives credence to but does not positive

vostok squadron sank two Japanese
transports bound from the island Of
Sakhalin."

Washington, April 27.-The atten-
ton of the Senate was devoted to-
day to consideration of reports of
conference committees. set speeches,
passage of bills to which there was
little or no objection, and an execu-
tive session. The session began at 10
o'clock in the morning and continued
until in the evening. Final confer
ence reports on the sundry civil, gen.
eral deficiency, postofffce and the
military academy APPROPRIATION bills
were agreed to practically without
opposition. Speeches were made by
Mr.. Cullom on the conduct of for
eign affairs by Presidents Mckinley
and Roosevelt, by Mr.. Teller on the
public land question, and by Mr..
McLaurin on the old age pension or
der and trusts.
Mr. McLaurin contended that the
pension order is nothing less than
legislation by the executive branch
of the government and therefore un-
justified and unwarranted. Mr.. Nc
Laurin said that of the 31S trusts.
the administration had proceeded
against only one. He criticised Mr..
Roosevelt as an unsafe man for the
Presidency.
When the conference report on the
postoffice appropriation bill was pre-
sented, Mr.. Clay and Mr.. German
expressed regret that the Senate con-
feres had found it necessary to elm
mate the Senate provision permitting
rural free delivery carriers to take
subscriptions for newspapers, ana
Mr.. Simmons objected to the striking
out OF the Senate amendment provid-
ing that the condition Of roads in any
proposed district should not be al
lowed to prevent the establishment
of rural free delivery routes.
Mr.. Frye called up and asked con-
sidefation of the bill creating a mer-
chant marine commission. Mr.. Bal
ley indicated a disposition to object
saying it was his opinion that the
commission would devote itself to
the collection Of data in the inter-
est OF a ship subsidy bill. But Mr..
Frye replied that in all probability
the result would be a recommenda-
ton of discriminating duties. Mr..
Bailey then withdrew his objection
and the bill was passed.
Mr.. Lodge stated that he would
like to bring up the Philippine bill
providing there was time. He asked
Mr.. Allison what was the prospect OF
adjournment.
Mr.. Allison said that in so far as
appropriation bills were concerned.
there could be an adjournment to-
morrow. Il understand that one
important conference must be dis
posed of before we adjourn--the bill
relating to the canal zone. l learn
IT is absolutely essential that it shall

ent session"
"I understand remarked Mr..
Lodge, that there ought to be some
Panama legislation before we ad-
journ.'
80 I understood" answered Mr..
Allison.
A resolution authorizing the con-
tinuation, during the recess, of the
inquiry in the right of Mr.. Smoot to
his seat in the Senate was favorab!y
considered during the day.
After passing a number of pension
bills and other minor bills the senate at
11:02 adjourned until 1890 m. toJnor-
row.

Renort of a Japanese Reverse.

st. Petersburg. April 27.-6:29 p. m.--
The general staff believe that one of the
japanese columns, while attempting to
cross the YaIu river at Turenchen, sus-
tanned severe loss, owing to unexpected
sheiling by a Russian battery from the
opposite bank which destroyed the
Japanese pontoons. The japanese, the
general staff says. tried to cross the
river at or different points and sue
ceeded only at one point. The staff
has no further news.
The crossing of the Yaiu river by the
Japanese forces did not impress the
Russians in view of the reports of the
ensuing Japanese reverse. These re-
ports became more persistent at noon
and caused an all round rise in prices
on the bourse. but, so far there has
been no confirmation of them officially.

Two gunboats steamed up the river
to the support of the japanese when a
Russian field battery at Amizan opened
upon them, resulting in a duel which
lasted for twenty minutes. The Rus
sian fire was too hot and the gunboats
were forced to turn and steam out OF
range.
The japanese were facilitated in
crossing by their occupation of the is
