A DEFEAT FOR JAPS.

Paris, April 2S.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Journal reports
that Russian submarine boat has
sunk Japanese transport which was
conveying 600 men to Korea and all
the troops were lost.
Liao Yang, April 2S.-The japanese
troops which crossed the Yalu north
of Euitjiou charged, during the night
of April 2G-27, the Russian position
near Lizavena, a village on the Man
churian bank of the Yalu. They
were repulsed.
TWO gunbOats steamed up the river
to the support of the Japanese, when
a Russian field battery at Amisan
opened upon them, resulting in a
duel which lasted 20 minutes. The
Russian fire was too hot and the gun
boats were forced to turn and steam
out of range.
' The japanese were facilitated in
crossing by their occupation of the
island of Samalinda.
Chicago, April 2S.-A special to thu
Daily News from New Chwang says:
If official Russian advices from
Mukden can be relied on, Gen. Kuro
patkin's derloyment is so far adj
YanCed that it covers the very lines
the Japanese purpose to occupy
Should the Japanese succeed in driv
ing the Russians north, the Muscovite
line of defense will extend from New
Chwang to Liao Yang and from Lilac
Yang to the Yalu river. The Russian
generals profess confidence that the
Japanese can make no headway by
frontal attacks.
London, April 28-The Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent at Irkutsk
Siberia, says that the Japanese have
blown up a portion of the railway at

Yalu, two companies crossing be-
tween Tchangdjio and Siaopoussikhe

Korean frontier to Lake Tai-Tji, on
the Manchu- Korean frontier, near the
source of the Yalu. Detachments of
Russian cavalry and light artillery
hold the towns of Kio-Lin, Musan and

MR.. KNOX ANSWERS.
Resolutions of Inquiry in Regard 10
Trusts Replied To.

Washington, April 2S.-Attorney
General Knox yesterday transmitted
to the house replies to the two resolu-
tions of inquiry introduced by Mr..
Williams (Miss.) relative to trusts.
First replying to the question as to
whether any criminal prosecutions
had been begun by him against per-
sons involved in the decision of the
supreme court in the Northern Securi.
ties case, as guilty of violating the
laws by entering into combinations in
restraint of trade, the attorney gen
eral says:
Il have the honor to say that no
criminal prosecutions have been in
stituted against the persons referred
to in the resolution ard further than
this, | do not deem it compatible
with the public interest to comply
with the resolution"
Tie other resolution asks if any in
vestigation ever was made by the de
partment of justice of the so-called
anthracite coal trust, consisting of
the anthracite coal carrying roads
The attorney general replies to this
as follows:
coal strike the department of justice
began an investigation for the pur.
pose of determining whether the an
thracite coal business was conducted
through combination or conspiracy
in violation of the antitrust act OF
1890.
"This investigation had not pro
ceeded far until | discovered that il
such a combination existed, the evi-
dence of its existence had been
adroitly concealed, and that if it was
established would largely depend
upon the governments ability to Sc
cure evidence of a chain of circum-
stances which in the aggregate would
establish a combination.
''In view of the fact that this de-
partment possessed no powers to
compel the production of books and
papers or to examine witnesses under
oath, | opened up the subject with a
representative of the interstate com.
merce commission as to the advisa.
bilty of the interstate commerce
commission making a general inves-
tigation into the general question as
to whether the anthracite coal roads
were GHSdStu Ill l)OOllnS, charging e&-
orbitant rates for the transportation
of coal, preventing the coal from
reaching it's natural markets and in
short, of obtaining through the COM
mission evidence of the facts.
about this time a complaint was
made before the interstate commerce
commission, raising the questions
above referred to. During the hear
ing before the commission upon this
complaint several witnesses refused
to produce papers and answer Ques-
tiOns, whereupon, under the decision
of the attorney general, proceedings
were begun in the United States cir
cult court in New York, for the pur-
pose of compelling the coal compa-
MES to produce papers and answer
questions.
"The circuit court dismissed the
petition of the interstate commerce
commission, whereupon an appeal
was taken to the supreme court of the
United States.
This appeal was decided in favor
of the power of the commission tC
compel the production of the testi.
mony, and the commission is about
to renew the hearings.

nese into Manchuria is due to the ex

graphs as follows:
