FORM
ANOTHER
ORDER
Junior Order United Ameri-
can Mechanics Are in
Trouble

Philadelphia, Pa. July S.-The
Junior Order United American Me-
chanics, which has been in existence
half a century and has a membership
that extends throughout the entire
country, is facing a critical situation
as result of the dissension in its
ranks, There has been trouble in The
order for years, but it was not until
recently that matters reached an acute
stage. The national convention was
in session at Minneapolis in June.
1899, when the national council made
changes in the object of the order,
it Is said. Many of the members de-
clared that this action was arbitrary,
and that the matter should have been
put to a popular vote. The council
decided to establish an insurance
branch, and appropriated money from
the national council to defray ex-
penses. Immediately after the con-
vention a protest came from five
states. 1t was ignol ed. The insur-
gents refused to pay any more per
capita tax. Charges were preferred
against the state council of Pennsyl-
vania, and there was a trial before
the judiciary board of the national
body. AS a result the state council
was directed to pay the national tax
or forfeit its charter. The tax was
paid
Then the insurgents, representing
rs councils, asked the national board
to call special session to settle the
differences. The request was ignored.
The council was threatened with man.
damus proceedings, and a call for a
meeting for June 1900 was issued.
Seven days before this meeting the
national council met in Philadelphia
and decided that any subordinate
council delinquent in its per capita
tax could not be represented in the
state councils session. More trouble
ensued and the feeling grew very
bitter. The subordinate councils in.
sisted upon representation, and were
arrested and fined for contempt of
court.

Four Armies Are Now In
Action Against The
Russians

London, July 8.-There are four
Japanese armies now in the field,
three of which are acting in co-opera.
tion in the general advance against
General Kuropatkin in Manchuria,
leaving the fourth engaged in the siege
Of Port Arthur. The four armies are
accompanied respectively by Generals
Kuroki, Oku, Nodzu and Nogi Mar
quis Oyama, the mmander-in-chief,
is expected in Manchuria the coming
week to take supreme command of the
four armies.
The first army, General Kurok's, is
that which was disembarked at Chemul
pho between February and March
/, consisting of 225000 men-17,000
combatants and $500 coolies-with
500 horses and SO guns and an inn
mense supply of stores and ammuni-
ton. This army is that which
marched through Corea to the Yalu,
crossed that river at the battle of
Chin-Lien-Cheng on May l, and hav-
ing occupied Feng-Wang- g-Cheng, has
made it's headquarters there pending
the development of the plan of cam
paign.
Kurohs army was originally COM
posed of the imperial guards division,
the second and twelfth divisions, and
possibly has been reinforced by the
seventh, eighth and ninth divisions,
these three being those kept back for
disposition as circumstances might
require.
The second army, under General
Oku, is that which was landed at
Pitsweo and elsewhere on the Lao
Tung peninsula. After obtaining pos
session of Kao-Chow and the neck of
the peninsula by the battle of Nan.
shan, this army was divided, two di-
visions and possibly another being
instructed, as the fourth army, with
the task of subjugating Port Arthur,
under General Nogi, while General
Oku led the rest of his force north
ward along the line of the Manchurian
railway to cooperate with Kuroln and
Nozu. 1t was this army which en-
gagged and drove back General Stakel-
berg at the battle of Wafangow. 1t
originally consisted of the first, third,
fourth and fifth divisions.
Lastly, the third army is that of
General Nodzu, which was landed at
Taku-Shan and concentrated in the
neighborhood of Sui-Yen. 1t is com.
posed of the sixth, tenth and eleventh
divisions.
Including the seventh, eighth and
ninth divisions, the location of which
is not certain. this accounts for all
the thirteen divisions of the Japanese
army. Roughly speaking, the strength
of a Japanese division, combatants
and non-combatants, is $4,000.
If the permanent active army has
been put into the field there would
be altogether 20S batallions, 55 squad
rons of cavalry, 6S4 cannon, 61 1870
horses, 1900 officers and 1937OO men.
1t has been reported that the re-

An Ideal Country Home.
My first view of our country home
was disappointing but I soon found it
was the place long had sought in my
dreams.
Eight miles out Of San Juan the
Military road passes thru the village of
Rio Piedras, which extends for half
mile principally along this road, and
side streets some distance back. The
houses are one and two stories, neatly
built and kept. Just as the road en-
tiers the village, on the left corner of
Roblet street and the Military road,
stands q large two-story frame build
ing, occupied below by a store lin front
and couple of families in the rear.
The building must be twenty-five feet
wide and 100 long. The second floor
is occupied by Madame D., her hus-
band and two children, with two serv-
ants. Madame is copper colored, q ma

The whole front Of the building is

upon the large balcony extending
over the sidewalk and surrounded by
iron fencing, are two large double
doors. Extending along the street is
a long corridor, with half a dozen
large double doors opening on the
street side, and protected when open
by iron ratings. Opposite are. the
bedrooms with neat iron bedsteads
