THE TALU CROSSED.
Latest from the Expedition Headed by
General kuroki.

Win, May 1.-(Via overland courier
General Kuroki crossed the Yalu river,
today. The Japanese soldiers drove the
Russians before them from strongly
fortified mountain posts which should
have been held by a small army against
Il greatly superior force.
The Russian forces estimated official
ly to have numbered 10000 men. They
removed the batteries during the night,
leaving the infantry tC cover their re
treat.
The Japanese dislodgcd the Russians
by a frontal attack delivered opposite
Wiju. This attack might have involved
the Japanese enormous losses, because
they We're obliged to advance across an
almost sheltcrlcss sand plain where
their dark uniforms made the best pos
sible kind of targets.
The rctreating Russians were flankcd
by two Japanese regiments, which cap
tured IS field guns, 90 officers and sew
cral hundred men. Japanese mountain
batteries pursued the retreating Rus
slams. but they were outstripped by the
Infantry, who made the captures among
the hills. some miles beyond the river.
TWO Russian regiments coming from
Hioko, to reinforce their comrades,
were badly cut to pieces.
All the ammunition for the Russian
artillery ard large quantities of sup
plies were captured.

horrible tendencies to facile and fire.
quent divorce rests, we believe, upon
impressing and inculcating such an in
tense conviction Of what marriage Is,
and of what marriage means, that 1t
will cease to be entered into "unad-
visedly or lightly" that the festivity
which accompanies it shall be sobered
and conSecrated by the conscious pres
ence of Him ''Who adorned and beau
titled the marriage at Cana III Galtlec
by His presence and first miracle that
He wrought" that neither man nor
woman shal! dare to enter the pre-
cincts of hetrothal without the tested
certainty of love; without the full
recognition of the mutual duty of SER
vice, forbearance and faithfulness
which II involves.
What words can we find to express
the abhorrcnce which ought to rise in
righteous Indignation against the pres
ent possibilities and the existing facts
of the divorce habit in America. Just
now polygamOus Utah looms large and
ugly in our minds. But must look near
er home to realize the true condition Of
things The proportion of divorces to
marriages in 1902 in eight States re-
porting statistics is as follows: In
Maine. l to 6; in New Hampshire, ! to
in Vermont to 10: in Massachusetts.
l to 16: in Rhode Island, l to s; in Ohio.
I to SIS; in Indiana, l to &c; in Michi
gan. l to II. In these States. there has
been Il steady ani rapid increase In
divorces during the decade, and this
increase is believed to be true of the
country at large.
