Russian Adopts
to Keep Out the Japs.
Toxic, April 9.-Surprise is expressed
here that nothing is done to harrass
the landing of the Japanese, the south
ern bank of the river being within
range of a Russian artillery fire from
Antung. The doubt increases that the
japanese intend to advance from the
Yalu, the movements there being re-
garded as a subterfuge to distract at
tention from more important move
ments elsewhere. 1t is still strongly
believed that the chief attack will be
in the neighborhood of Port Arthur.
According to the New Chwang corre-
spondent of the Chronicle, a demon
stration by the Japanese fleet, either at
Port Arthur or New Chwang, is ex-
pected on Sunday.
The Toxic correspondent of the
Chronicle says that the Russians have
dug a moat four miles long north of
Port Arthur, containing b~arbed-wire
entanglements concealed in mud.

On Monday Geske, who was OF a

his customary attacks upon his wife,
struck her with such force as TO
break her nose, and made several
black and blue spots upon her per-
son. Geske had been arrested several
times for such "stienuoususss" and
thought to prevent arrest by refus-
ing to allow his wife TO leave the
house. However, a warrant was
placed in Sheriff Peterman's hands,
and on Wednesday just after dinner
tue sheriff went out to arrest Geske.
The latter recognized the team at n
distance and thought best to get out
of the sheriff's way, which he did in
the manner above described. Gesks
has continually abused his family for
years past, has refused to wsrk and
has let the burden Of bis snppsrt
