THEY MAY NOT FIGHT
FOR THE YALU RIVER.

London, April IA correspondent
of the Times, with the Japanese head
quarters, sends the following dated
April II, by wireless telegraphy, via
Wei Hal Wei;
AT present information from the
land front must be beiated, owing to
the distance of the existing sea base
from the advance guard. but this will
soon be remedied.
ut is doubtful whether the long ex-
pected engagement for the possession
of the Yalu river will ever take place,
certainly not unless the Russians have
been reinforced more heavily than my
information leads me to believe. This
was foreseen by the japanese, and
hence their strenuous efforts to block
Port Arthur so that they may be able
to reduce the length of their land COM
munications by the establishment of a
more convenient sea base. 1t must
be remembered that unless the Japa-
nese secure the north Of the Yalu with
a new base by July the land move
ments from Korea will become prac-
tically impossible.
"The rainfall of summer is so heavy
that all the flimsy bamboo bridges will
be destroyed. This would indicate that
1t is not to the advantage OF either
belligerent to engage in struggle in
the vicinity of the Yalu.
1.-THE Russians desire to get the Jap
anese forces inland with the hope of
enveloplng them, while the Japanese
want to get inland because the coun-
try affords a more suitable theater OF
operations.
las the time is short new effort of
the Japanese must be developed al
most Immediately"

explanation was issued to-day of the

day biz Chairman Fowler OF that CONS

The report explains each section Of
the bill. The first section provides for
the uniform treatment of public mon-

hibits customs receipts from being de-
posted in national banks. The result
of the present law in this matter, 1t Ia
declared, is to unnecessarily tie up the

The recoinage of silver dollars into

1T Is probably true that the inabil-

mand for small bills, combined with
the shortage in subsidiary coin In re-

Speaking of the demands Of Congress

were found upon thorough examina-
ton that the departments were free
from frauds it would result in beneft
to the Republican party, and, per-
haps, injury to the Democratic party.
Mr. Simmons reviewed the invesu-
CATION in the Postoffice Department,
particularly in reference to the career
of Mr.. Machen. He spoke of Mr.. Ma
chen's alleged populations and referred
to the Bristow report to show that his
intriguing was not bold until Mr..
Heath became first assistant postmas-
ter general. Mr.. Simmons. SAID tnat
only three of the persons found TO

frauds were appointed under Demo-
cratic administrations.
Mr.. German made plea for favor
able action on the Culberson amend
ment saving that the conditions in
the department were such as to make
an inquiry imperative. He said that
the report of the fourth assistant post
master general practically charged
members of Congress with being con-
federates of Machen and Beavers, and
that on this account Congress could
not in Justice to itself refuse TO make
an inquiry. He quoted the Presidents
memorandum in the Machen case, say
ing that it also raised a question as
to the conduct of members and added
that under these charges Congress
could not afford to let the matter rest.
The Departments reflection upon Con-
gress he denounced as AN outrage
and said that instead of there being
a question of politics involved, the
honor and integrity of Congress were
in question.
Gave Something Explicit.
Mr., Aldrich replied: Give us an
explicit charge and we will take 1t
up"
charges were necessary they could be
found in the case of the Montague in
III Tn the former case there is, he
said, according to the Bristow report
a mystery as to whether former First
Assistant Postmaster General Heath
had received 1000 of the shares of
the stock of that concern. In the case
of Petit that individual 1t has been
developed, had been on the pay roll
of the Baltimore postoffice for four
years without doing any work, and

he had been appointed to this work
by Mr.. Heath or by Beavers.
Mr. Lodge said that both Heath and
Beavers are out of the department
and that Beavers is under course of
prosecution; hence, he did not consider
the charge of character to affect the
present conduct of the department.
The indefinite character of the charges
were conclusive in showing the de-
mand for an investigation to be a
sham. After some further discussion
the Senate adjourned.

BACK TO STATE COURT
Supreme Court Orders the Minnesota
Case.

Supreme Court Orders the Minnesota
Case.
Washington, April 1.-THE United
States Supreme Court to-day decided
the case of the state of Minnesota VS..
the Northern Securities Company and
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern railway companies, involving the
validity Of the merger of the two rail-
road companies, holding that it was
without Jurisdiction and reversing the
opinion of the court below.
Justice Harlan, who delivered the
opinion, said that the Circuit Court
should not have entertained jurisdic-
ton in the case, the effect being to re-
mand the case to the state courts.
Justice Harlan called attention to the
fact that the proceeding was for the
purpose of enforcing both the state
laws and the federal antitrust act,
saying that the Circuit Court could not
have taken jurisdiction II only the
state statutes had been involved. TAX
ing up the federal law and analysing
its provisions he said it was clear that
the case did not belong to any of the
classes provided for by that law.
The contention that the case in
volved proprietary interests of the
state was not allowed TO influence the
opinion. On that point the court said
the injury was at most only remote
and indirect.
The court also refused to hold that
Minnesota's dignity or rights as a state
would be effected under Article w of
the federal constitution by permitting
the stock of corporations of that state
to be held by an outside corporation
like the Securities Company. Justice
Harlan said the court did not think
that the article of the constitution had
any bearing whatever on the question.
He said in conclusion:
For the reasons stated we are of
opinion that the suit does MOTTO use
the words of the act of 1875-realize and
substantially involve a dispute or con-
troversy within the jurisdiction of the
Circuit Court, following the mandate
of the state, should not have proceeded
therein, but should have remanded the
cause to the state court.
1.-THE decree of the Circuit Court is
reversed and the case is sent back with
directions that it be remanded TO the
state court"
The opinion of the court was unani-
nous.

DO NOT LIKE FOR JAPS
TO BE WITH GEN. MA.

ST. Petersburg, April 1.-THE re-
ports that M. Lessar, the Russian min
lister at Pekin, had made strong repre-
sensations to the Chinese government
on the subject of the Japanese military
instructors in the service of China and
the Japanese officers with Gen. Mas
army, demanding the issuance of or
ders for their dismissal, are confirmed
here. Russia regards their continued
presence where they are as being a
most serious threat to her.
II is pointed out that without the con-
sent of the Pekin government the Japa-
nese officers who are with Gen. Ma,
who is now north of the great wall,
easily can obtain dominant influence
over the Chinese troops and use them II
the Japanese operations demand the
creation of a diversion in Gen. Kuro-
patkin's rear, possibly resulting in cut
ting his communications.

Accepts II as Victory.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 1.-THE SUI
preme Court decision in the case OF
Minnesota against the railway merger
is considered by the states legal Off
GERS a virtual victory for the state,
although it puts the litigation back
exactly where it was when the case
first began.
This was the original suit against
the merger and began before the fed
eral government began its action. 1t
was transferred from the state to the
federal court. Judge Lochren, IN the
federal district court, assumed juris-
diction and decided the case on it's
merits against the state. The United
States Supreme Court now says virtu-
ally that Judge Lochren should not
have assumed jurisdiction and should
not have decided that the merger was
a legal corporation that could not be
reached by the laws of Minnesota. The
suit now goes back to the state courts.

warm water and Cuticura Soap. In q
Few days the Cuticura Ointment had
