War in the East.

There is continual skirmishing be-
tween the Russian cavalry and the Jap
auese. Cossacks are harrassing the
japanese in the hills and byroads, gen.
orally driving them back. Several re-
cent engagements have resulted in losses
on both sides.
The general plan of the japanese has
not been divulged. They are appar-
emily making time, awaiting the arrival
of reserves from Korea, who have been
delayed owing to the impassability of
the roads.
Apparently there is good warrant for
the belief that General Kuropatkin has
a strong line extending south from Lao
yang and west of Haicheng protecting
an advance upon Kaichou and Niu-
chwang.
The Chinese report the destruction of
another japanese battleship off Port
Arthur, but the report is uncon6rmed
Snd is not credited. Several japanese
who landed from the junks near Port
Arthur and started toward the town with
the intention of dyns hitting the docks
were captured and shot.
Natives have brought in news from
Feng Weng Cheng that cholera in
particularly yirulent form has broken
out among the japanese troops. In
some cases death has occurred within
three hours.
A report has been received from Niu-
chwang saying that on May Is five
battalions of Japanese troops recon-
noitered to the south almost as far as
Kinchou and ran into Major General
Fock's artillery, which was strongly
posted on the heights, in narrow sec
ton OF the Liaotung peninsula, and
that the japanese were entirely wiped
out. The report lacks confirmation.
The report of recent battle near
Port Arthur in which the Japanese were
said to have lost $4,000 men and the
Russians 1000 is now discrsdited in
ST Petersburg.

The PreshYferiana

Buffalo, n. Y. May 25.-At the
Presbyterian General Assembly, today,
it is most probable an effort will be
made to reconsider its action on mar
rage and divorce. IT the matter
is reconsidered, an amended recon-
mendation will be submitted, which will
limit the'application of the proposition
to any member of a church which is
represented in the Inter-Church Con-
ference. That would leave out the
Roman Catholic church, which does
not recognize divorce, and, it is believed,
would thus do away with muck of the
opposition which the original recon-
mendation engendered. Rev. Charles
Stelzel, of st. Louis, special representa-
tive among workingmen, said that he
was educated as a machinist, and now
carried labor union card. Socialism,
he said. Is becoming the substitute of
the church with many people. Social
ism uses the vocabulary of the church,
and to many it. offers the ideal that
Christ held up better than the church
What would be the attitude OF the
church on the labor question? The
conflict between capital and labor will
never he settled by strikes, or lock-
outs, or arbitration. The church of
Jesus Christ has more to do with the
solution of the labor question than any
other organization in the world. Mr..
Slelzel urged that churches be opened
on week days, and that the public SER
vices be held out doors, and the false
dignity and conservativeness that has
so long prevailed may be got out.

Two Negroes Shot Down.

Jack and Frank Perrow and James
Moore, young men from Lynchburg,
are in Jail at Chatham for killing
Charles Coles and Henry CASTOR, two
negroes. The young men were run
ming a merry-go-round, and Jack Per
row ordered the negroes away. Coles
replied impudently, and invited Perrow
into the street. The shooting followed
aud Coles dropped dead with a bali
through his heart. Castor, who was
standing near, but taking no part in the
row, was killed by bullet in the hea d.
Who killed CASTOR is not known. Per-
row claims that he fired only shot, and
that was fired after Coles shot at him,
and that it was that ball which entered
Gast0n's head.

War In the East.

Chefoo, May % --Junks which have
arrived from Pitsewo, to the north of
Port Arthur, report that the japanese
are daily landing troops at Pitsewo. 1t
is also reported that temporary barracks
have been erected by the japanese on the
Elliott Islands, off the eastern coast OF
the Lao Tung peninsula, where hundreds
of ships including men-of-war and trans
ports are rendezyouing. Refugees IRON
Dalny report that Genera Stoessel seized
all the money in the Dalny and Port Ar
thur banks, and depositors are unable
to cash any checks.

Chefoo, May 25.-Four japanese
cruisers and feet of torpedo boats and
destroyers passed midway between Port
Arthur and Miao-Tao islands, to the
south of the port, at four o'clock this
morning. No firing has been heard.
According to reports received here, the
Russians have again removed their guns
and troops from the forts at Niuchang.
Heavy firing was heard near Port Arthur
yesterday, and inasmuch as the fleet was
not seen until this morning, it is thought
that land attack occurred.
Birmingham, Eng, May 25.-The

Lihraries. for the Universitv.

Bradley S. johnson, of Rock Castle,
Goochland county, has presented the
law department OF the University Of
Virginia his splendid law library of
about | 200 volumes, valued at $l0,-
900. The gift is in memory of his
father, the late distinguished lawyer and
soldier, Gen. Bradley I. Johnson, who
"for many years took Il very great in
terest in the University of Virginia and
had high estimate OF the excellence of
her method ofinstruction, the thorough
ness of her work and the high tone of
her graduates. D."
Yesterday the university received the
library of the late Prof. Thomas b.
Price, of Columbia University, New
York, and formerly professor of Greek
in the University of Virginia. 1t con-
sists of 4, 600 volumes, and is said to be
an extremely well-chosen collection of
books.

News of the Day.

The Postoffice Department at Wash
ington has announced crusade against
patent medicine manufacturers who de-
ceive the public in their advertisements
and circulars.
Suffering from melancholia due to
grief over the recent death of his mother,
S. w. Wood, aged 20 years, who board
ed at 706 Baker street, Baltimore, ended
his life yesterday morning in his room
by drinking carbolic acid. Coroner Bald
win was notified and gave certificate
of suicide and deemed an inquest I'M
necessary.
Shortage of traffic and consequent ne
cessity for reducing expenses on the
Pennsylvania railroad are the reasons
given for the closing to through traffic of
the new Portage branch, built within two
years at cost of s., 900, 600. The latest
retrenchment order takes effect at once.
No date is fixed for reopening the line.
That depends entirely upon traffic con-
ditions.
The committee on closer relations with
other Presbyterians churches yesterday
submitted its report to the General AS
sembly Of the Presbyterian Church in
the United States in session at Mobile,
Ala. 1t recommends a conference with
representatives of other churches on the
subject. The report was made the spec
ial order for this afternoon.
By ton of fame that cast its glare
on town and ocean for miles around the
musical relics of a century were destroy
ed in mammoth funeral pyre last night
at Atlantic City, N. ]. Hundreds OF
old square pianos that had long out
lived their usefulness were consigned by
their owners to this end and were sacri-
feed in the spectacle, which was the
principal feature of the annual conven-
ton in that city of the National Associa-
ton of Piano Dealers and Manufacturers.
From its centre to the outermost limits
of the town of Emporium, Pa, is strewn
with wreckage resulting from the ex-
plosion at the Keystone Powder and Dy-
Mantle Works late Monday afternoon,
when $4,000 pounds of powder let go,
shaking the earth for miles around and
causing damage amounting to thousands
of dollars. Scarcely dwelling, public
building or business structure in the
town escaped injury. By an unusual
stroke of good fortune no one was killed,
and the list of those who were hurt Is
extraordinarily small. None of those
suffered are in danger of diving.

German ZiOnists.

Berlin, May 25.-The Congress OF
German Zionists opened at Hamburg,
today. Two hundred delegates are pre-
sent. The annual report of the league
read at the meeting stated that there are
now 122 branches with over 5000 pay
ing members. Prof Warburg, who has
charge of the plan for the colonization
in Palestine, by the Jews Of the world,
read lengthy report on his work. The
realization of the programme is formi-
dable task. Jews all over the world are
cooperating, however, and the dream
of the Zionists may be realized. Crate
ful references were made today to the
liberal subscriptions of Jews in America.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY %. 1904.

TINE is fast decimating the ranks
Of the Confederate Veterans in Alexan'
dria as was evidenced yesterday when
scarcely score Of the old soldiers
took part in the Memorial Day
services. Time, too, has wrought
other sad changes here, for the pro-
cession showed that comparatively little
interest was taken in the ceremonies.
The Sons of Veterans were conspicuous
by their absence "a choir failed to respond
to the call of the veterans and there was a
notable falling off in the size OF the crowd
at the monument where the memorial ex-
ercises we're held. Sad as it is there Is
no use 10 shutting ones eyes to th0
truth. There has been another war
since 1s61-5, many of the old Alexan-
drians are dead or gone away, new people
have come and with many others the
story of the heroic struggle of the
ConIedera&s falls upon Indifferent ears.

Rodv Of Suicide Recovered.

Chicago, May 25.-The body of a man was
found last night in the Calumet river, which
circumstance may lead to the clearing up Of
the mysterious disappearance last November
of William G. Prall, who for thirty years WIS
secretary of the Elgin Watch Company. An
identification check found on the body would
seem to remove all doubt Of his identity. MI
Prall was last seen by his acquaintance as he
was apparently on his way home. He never
reached there. As his business was in pei
feet order, and there being no evidence on the
body of foul play, it is believed that, becon-
ing temporarily insane, he took his own life
by drowning.
