RUSSIAN FORCES RETIRE,
They Are Not Yet Pre- pared to Resist the
Japanese Advance.

SEOUL, April 9.-The Japanese min
lister, Mr.. Hayashi, today officially
commune ated to the Korean foreign
Office the fact of the retirement of the
Russian troops across the Yalu river
and the Japanese occupation of the
frontier, which resulted in an ex-
change of mutual congratulations.
NEW YORK, April 9.-Japanese re
ports suggest, cables the Toxic cor
respondent of the Times, that the
scarcity of provisions and forage was
probably the chief reason for the Rus.
sian retreat across the Yalu. The
Russians apparently stripped the
country of everything edible. There
are reasons for thinking that the Rus
sian losses at Cheng Ju on March 2S
were heavier than reported.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 10. - The
general anticipated attack on Port
Arthur did not occur last night. al

anese were warned of the extra pre-
cautions which had been taken to
guard against surprise.
In accorda ance with the wishes of
General Kuropatkin preparations are

has demanded 100000 reinforcements
by May and 500, 900 by August.

AFFECTING RAILROAD MERGER.
The Supreme Court Says Minnesota
Authorities Have Jurisdiction.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Unit.
ed States supreme court tod ay decided
the case Of the state of Minnesota ver-
sus the Northern Securities and Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
ways, regarding the merger of the rail-
road companies, holding that it was
without jurisdiction and reversing the
opinion Of the court below. Justice
Harlan, who delivered the opinion,
said the circuit court should not have
entertained jurisdiction in the case,
the effect being to remand the case to
the state courts.
ST. PAUL, April 1.-THE supreme
courts decision in the case of the state
of Minnesota against the Northern
Securities is considered by the state
officials as a virtual legal victory for
the state. It puts the litigation back
exactly where it was when the suit
was first begun.
This was the original suit against
the merger, begun before the federal
government began it's action. 1t was
transferred from the state to the fed
eral court. Judge Lochren, in the
federal district court, took jurisdic.
tion without much question and de.
cided the case on its merits against
the state. The United States supreme
court now says virtually that Judge
Lochren should not even have assum.
ed jurisdiction, much less decided tn at
the merger was legal corporation
that could not be reached by the laws
of Minnesota. The suit now goes
back to the state courts.

Mr.. German made an earnest plea
for an investig alton, saying the post
Office department had cast reflections
upon the members of congress and
that thorough examine alton should
be held. Mr.. Aldrich answered that
the amendment finally modified meant
nothing; that if an investig alton
should be had it should be "llve
one." He said that if any specific
charges were in they should be looked
into by congress but that the demand
should not be made part of gen.
eral appropriation bill. Semi-politi-
cal speeches were made by Messrs.

Court Decides Postal Case.

WASHINGTON, April 1l.-The
United States supreme court today de-
cided that books published periodical
ly IRE not entitled to transmission
through the mails as second class
matter. The question decided has
been the subject of long controversy
between the postoffice department and
the publishers, before congress and in
the department. For sixteen years,
and under eleven postmaster generals,
these publications were carried as
second.class matter, though under
protest from the department and with
many efforts to have the law modified
or repealed, but without success. Fail.
ing in this, the postmaster general is.
sued an order in 1902, excluding the
books from the secOnd.class rate.
Thereupon the matter was taken to the
courts, the effect being that the post
master general was sustained by the
final decision as rendered today.
