KUR0PATKIN WATCHES
FOR A CHANCE TO STRIKE.

st. Petersburg, May IS, $40 p. m.-
Confirming the intimations that it is
Gen. Kuropatkin's purpose to avoid a
decisive combat with the Japanese at
the present stage of the war, the state
ment was made by the general staff
to-day that the cOmmander-in-chief is
making preparations to fall back on
Mukden and then on Harbin.
While the superior numbers of the
enemy compel retirement, it does not
follow that Gen. Kuropatkin will not
strike a singing blow should a STRAIT
egical mistake be made which will en-
able him to throw a stronger army
upon one of the advancing columns of
his antagonist The most exposed por-
tion of Gen. Kurokfs command is that
which moved directly northward, evil
IDENTIFY with the intention of gaining
the road to Mukden, down which it
will march as soon as the other col
umnS are within supporting distance.
Unless caution-7heretofore the con-
spicuous feature of the Japanese cam
paign- is observed, this column, it is
believed here, will be a victim of it's
temerity, as Gen. Kuropatkin is known
10 De nOlQlnS IC especially unuer close
surveillance.
Kuropatkin's decision to withdraw
from Liao Yang can only mean. ac-
cording to experts, that there will con-
tinue to be affairs of outposts, unless
another Gen. Zassalitch should
develop The controlling strategic
point at Hal Cheng will not be held
as believed, Kuropatkin deciding it to
be unwise to isolate more troops, who
would, not being as well supplied as
those at Port Arthur. find it difficult
to subsist until relief arrived.
This is one of the reasons that die
tates the withdrawal of the Russians
from New Chwang, official details of
which have not yet been made public.
The experts say that the debarkation
of Japanese at New Chwang at this
time would be nothing more nor less,
than a strategical blunder advanta-
geous to the Russians, as they are still
holding the railroad and could rush a
force there, fall on the Japanese and
retire before column sent by Gen.
Kuroki could get between them and
Lao Yang. The opinion, therefore, pre-
walls that the Japanese will not occu-
py New Chwang until Kurokis COL
umns arrive at Hal Cheng or it's imme-
diate vicinity.
The general staff confirms the an
nouncements of the abandonment of
Kin Chou by the Russians after the
dismantling of the forts and the re-
moval of the guns to Port Arthur.

BALFOUR SUPPORTED
BY THE HOUSES VOTE.
Effort to Upset the British Govern
ment Failed.

London. May 1S-By a majority of
fifty-five Premier Balfour tonight sue
cessfully defeated an attempt to upset
the government upon the fiscal ques-
ton. An interesting debate, charac-
terized by some heated exchanges, took
place. resulting in the Premiers rel
terated determination to shelve the
question of fiscal reform until the next
Parliament. In this decision, Joseph
Chamberlain publicly concurred.
The motion upon which the question
came up was made by Alexander Will
liam Black, member OF Banffshire,
Scotland, and an advanced Liberal,
welcoming the ministerial declarations
that protective taxation of food would
be burdensome to the people and ill.,
furious to the empire" In purpose
the motion was intended to censure
Mr.. Chamberlain and the latter's
amendment to it would have split up
the Unionist party and possibly would
have resulted in the defeat of the gov
ernment.
Mr.. Balfour's own amendment to
shelve the question left a middle course
open to the members of the Unionist
party. and although this amendment
was not put, the House accomplished
the defeat of Mr. Blacks indirect CEN
sure, on the ground that II was not
now necessary to discuss the fiscal
question.
! The Premier stuck to his policy as
outlined IN his recent Sheffield speech.
Twenty-one Unionist free traders
voted against the government. but more
than double that number would have
done so but for Mr.. Balfour's skillful.
intervention between Mr. Chamberlain
and his opponents
The net result of the debate, which
crowded the House of Commons to a
greater extent than it has been this
session, Is that all parties stand as they
were. Sir Michael Hicks Beach and
his immediate following practically
saved the day by refusing to vote with
winston Churchill, Lord George Ham
ilton, Lord Hugh Cecil and other more
ardent Unionist free traders against
Mr.. Balfour.
Mr.. Chamberlain reiterated that he
dlu not wish to raise the fiscal uues-
ton IN the House. He said he sun
po>ted the governm ert and would con-
tlnueN to do so. He hoped that the
Premier would take his own time 10
carry out his policy.
The vote defeating Mr.. Blacks
amendment was $50 to 3O6.

WESTERN UNION CUTS OFF
ALL RACING REPORTS.
CIOwry Has Notified Managers to
Stop Handling Them.

New York. May 1s.-FoIlowing his
action of yesterday in disseminating to
all subscribers in this city, a report OF
the racing at various tracks in this
country. Col Robert B. Clowry to-day
notified the general superintendents OF
the company at New York. Chicago,
Atlanta and San Francisco. that the
collection and distribution by the West
ern Union Telegraph Company of horse
race reports would be discontinued
forthwith.
The effect OF this order Is far raach-
ing. and will result in the discontin-
uance of what has been called the rae
Company. This department has col
lected and distributed racing news from
all the various tracks in the country to
subscribers. Hereafter the company
will transmit only such messages con-
cerning races as are regularly filed with
1t for transmission.
The Executive Committee of the
Western Union had brief meeting to-
day, at which were present Chauncey
NJ. Depew. Morris K. Jessup. Russell
Sage. Samuel Sloan and Jacob n.
Schiff President Clowry reported his
action, and the Executive Committee
approved 1t.
The New York Telephone Company,
which also is accused of aiding and
abetting" the service to poolrooms,
advised Police Commissioner McAdoo
to-day that IT would at once remova
the telephone wires from the East For
ty-second street house, which was raid
ed yesterday, and which was said to
have been the headquarters. or cen
trail" of chain of poolrooms. Fur
ther, the company promised to see that
both wires and instruments are taken
out of the subsidiary places-poolrooms
which received accounts OF the racing
from this Central
Pool room men here profess them
selves as well pleased with to-day's
action Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company. While the pool room pro-
prietors in New York havemade money
on the Morris Park races, they are
said to have lost, almost without ex-
ception, on Western races. Now that
the Western Union service from the
Western tracks has been cut off only
bets on the results at Morris Park are
being taken. AS a result to-day's
profits to the pool rooms are said to
have increased.
Several of the big pool rooms down
town, however did not fare as well
as the smaller places. and closed this
afternoon, as their patrons are Wall
street men who daily bet large
amounts, and the proprietors were
afraid to pay out big bets on informa-
ton received by telephone AS soon
as arrangements have been made to
pay bets on the day after the races,
instead of after each race, these rooms,
it is said, will resume business

bid that paths to barrooms should be
made more open than they are" He
also protested against the impeachment
of Gov Aycocks character as an
honest man, saying that, aside from
his partisanship, there was not more
high-minded man living. A storm of
disapproval cut the speaker short.

Washington, May 1S.-Treasury Off
cials are greatly mystified by the fall
ure of the First National Bank at Ma
con. In absence of an official report
from Bank Examiner w. F. Albertson
there is more or less conjecture grow

Judge had the sagacity to draw $4O,000o
from the insolvent bank a minute be-
fore 1t closed it's doors.

declines to make any comments until
he has the report of Examiner Albert

charge of the National Bank.
According to the records Of the de-
partment the First National Bank was
examined last October and was then
reported in good condition.
The records Of the department show
that some of the worst failures occur
in cases where National and private
banks operate practically together,
as in the case OF the First National and
Plants Sons bank. The controller
Of the currency has recommended that
the law be changed to prevent too close
banks. Instances have been known
when national and state banks bave
occupied the same building, or adjoin-
ing buildings, wherein assets have been
hurriedy transferred from one bank
to the other, thus deceiving the ex-
aminer. Efforts have also been made
to have the national and state bank
examiners investigate these Joint
banking institutions at the same time,
but there has generally been difficulty
in arranging dates convenient to both
examiners.
Without casting reflections upon the
local judge for drawing $4,000 out of
the bank just before it failed. the
subject will be carefully investigated.
II it would be shown that he had
previous intimation of insolvency he
can be made to return the amount
and take his chances with the other
