we're as nothing as compared with the

the convention exhibited BY John r.
Hopkins. Hopkins win continue to
be chairman Of the state central com
mittee.
Frank r. Quinn OF Peoria, whom
presided over the convention, both as
temporary and permanent chairman
paid absolutely no attention to the
men Or motions when they did not Iibe
with the interests Of the Hopkins
party for him to do so, and In one in
stance, al least. he declared a motion
carried before the Hearst and Harrf-
son people had voted upon 1t.
Pending the arrival OF the commit
tee on resolutions, the widest congu-
sion prevailed on the floor and several
fist fights took place between the dele.

The platform was submitted and
adopted. Resolutions providing FOR

to fight on June 80. declare that there
will be no further postponement. I'm

time he must lose his forfeit Of $2sOO
and the title T.. champion.
Harry Corh md other pugiDstie
experts believe that besides decreasing
the betting eds the oe,Ny will be Of
direct benefit to MuRroe, who Is said
TO be constantly improving In his work
On the other hand, Jeffrles now hopes
to be In prime condition when he en-
ters the ring and his trainers do not
anticipate any further trouble with his
injured knee.
All sportdom was thrown into a
state OF agitation last night by the
following dispatch from Harbin:
Fight will be postponed until June "a.
jeff tried to work this afternoon, but
his knee was too bad"
The Yosemite Club was thus ad-
dressed by Trainer Delaney. The re-
quest for delay had been expected and
was not thought unreasonable in the
circumstances Indeed, the club went
a little better than the request. made
by Trainer William Delaney, and set
the fight for Thursday night June 80,
In doing so the club makes the date
final one, and unless Jeffries appears
that night, ready to fight, and does
fight, his forfeit OF s2500, posted to
insure his appearance at the time
agreed upon. will be claimed, The
additional six days should certainly
give him all the time he needs. Meth
er the Yosemite Club nor Harry Poll
lock, Munroe's manager, insists that
there be a fight, and Pollock demands
that there be no further postpone
ment.
Munroe's manager, trainer and back
ers are not worried over the post
by any means. They con-
tend that the miner win profit by the
postponement. as he is improving
steadily, and more time means more
to learn and improve. |
Harry Corbett believes that the post
win help Munroe, and his
opinion is that the odds viii decrease
until 2 to or possibly 10 to can
be had by Munroe's hackers.

According to Chinese reports the Jap

The japanese are using 100 barges to
transport troops up the Lao River to
Tie Pass, and apparently intend to
engage Kuropatkin's forces at that
fortified position. Kuropatkin in a re-

General Stoessel at Port Arthur re-
ports terrific bombardment by the Jap

destruction must have been great.
The Russians finally drove off the

Washington, d. c. (SpeciaD.-With
a view TO a reduction in the expense OF

General Chaffee, chief of staff, recent
ly cabled an inquiry to Major General
Wade, commandir'. the Philippines
Division, asking if conditions in the is
lands would not justify the reduction OF
the present military force there from
four regiments OF cavalry and nine OF
infantry to three regiments of cavalry
and seven of infantry. General Chat
fee has received a reply from General
Wade expressing tbs opinion that the
proposed reduction OF military strength
was not only practicable. but advis-
able. Therefore, it is more than pro-
able that arrangements soon will be
made TO bring home the troops in ex-
cess of the number regarded by
Generals Chaffee and Wade as essen
tial to the situation.

appointed consulting engineer on the
staff OF Chief Engineer Wallace in

is particularly charged to assist in

Wallace has been making estimates

JAPs MOVING UP TAIIsE RIVER
Kuroki OF to the Eastward and Another Turn.
ing Movement Looked For.

Mukden (By Cable).-According to
Chinese advices, the evacuation OF
Liaoyang by the Japanese has been
forced, owing to the bad sanitary con-
dition caused by the dead bodies.
The Japanese were Wednes day forti-
lying the approaches by way of the
river. Small detachments OF Japanese
moved northward from the Taitse
River. Preparations for an advance
evidently still continuing although the
second stage OF the Japanese move
ment has not yet been completed by
any means.
The first was to the north, as il
for turning movement; but General
kuroki is now going east while 10 the
westward preparations are being made
to serd a large force up the Lao
River. For this purpose the Japanese
already have taken 100 large barges,
with which they intend to ascend as
far as Tie Pass.
1t is stated that the japanese are
carefully preparing their turning and
fianking movements, and will not en-
gage in another big battle before the
occupation OF Tie Pass. These pre-
parations are expected to occupy one
month.
The panicky conditions prevailing
Immediately after the battle OF Lao
yang have entirely disappeared from
the Russian army now concentrated
here. Business has been resumed and
the city is quiet. The Russo Chinese
Bank has reopened.
The failure OF the Japanese to fol-
low up the advantage gained at Lao
yang has caused surprise here. An
independent authority, who accompa-
MED the rear guard from the positions
south OF Liaoyang to Mukden. says
that this failure is accounted for by
the fact that the Japanese lost 10000
killed and wounded in one days fight
ing, and that, besides they were too
tired to continue the advance.
The Japanese are reported to be in
trenching around Liaoyang and to
have repaired the bridge over the
Taitse River.
Twelve thousand soldiers wounded
at Liaoyang have been treated at the
Red Cross Hospital here.
