JAPANESE ON THE MOVE
Advancing Upon the Russian Main
Position.
DALIN PASS REoccUPIED BY JAPs.
Russian Official Advices Indicate That the
Japanese Hope to Compel Kuropatkin, With
GENERAL Stackelberg's Corps, to Fall Back
From Ia Tche Kiao Upon Liaoyang, and
Force an Evacuation.


St. Petersburg, (By Cable).-The
latest dispatches from the seat of
war are to the effect that General
Kuropatkin is still at Ia Tche Kiao
and that the Japanese forces are sta
tionary at Senuchen and along the
roads from Siuyen to Haicheng, Ia
Tche Kiao and Kaichou, but they are
maintaining their advance from Feng
Wang Cheng over the direct main
roads to Liaoyang, where the effect
of the rain is less appreciable. There
are only IL miles between General
Count Keller's force and the Japan
csc army and collision between
them is not regarded as unlikely. The
Japanese evidently are hoping, in case
of success, to compel Kuropatkin,
with General Stakelberg's corps, to
fall back from Ia Tche Kiao on Lao
yang and thus force an evacuation of
Niuchwang.
The Admiralty here has no news
of the sea fight off Port Arthur on

Togo, and it is not inclined to believe

SIEGE OPERATIONS AT PORT ARTHUR.
Russian Military Experts on the Situation
Wet Season and Disease.

St. Petersburg, (By Cable) Mill
tary experts believe that the center of
gravity has again shifted to Port
Arthur, where siege operations are
expected to engage most of the atten-
ton of the Japanese until the con-
clusion of the rainy season permits
resumption of the campaign in South
ern Manchuria.
The War Office believes that a
further advance on Ia Tche Kiao is
impossible, in view of the powerful
resistance which can be made by the
Russians, combined with the great
difficulties of transportation over rain
sodden roads. Desultory fighting,
however, is likely to continue for the
possession of the passes which are
particularly valuable to either bel
ligerent for the purpose of obtaining
information regarding the others
movements.
The authorities are manifesting
much concern over the appearance of
disease in the Japanese outposts and
garrisons, and it is feared that the
Russians camping in the tracks of the
Japanese may become infected. 1t is
feared also that if cholera is raging
at Feng Wang Cheng it will be al
most impossible to prevent it spread
ing to Liaoyang.
The rainy season is undoubtedly in
favor of the Russians, enabling them
to bring up further reinforcements,
but it is feared that it may also entail
great mortality.
The Russian losses in killed or
wounded so far number 5000. Many
more have been, in hospitals, but no
epidemics have yet been reported.

Engineer Saw Storm Coming and Tried to
Dodge II.

Petersburg, ILL.,, (SpeciaD An ac-
commodation passenger train on the
Chicago, Peoria and ST Louis railroad
was blown from the track at Oakford,
H., twelve miles north of Peters
burg, and one person was killed and
number were injured.
The train consisted of two coaches,
a baggage car and the engine, and all
but the engine were hurled from tho
track down seven-foot embankment,
turning over twice in the descent and
landing in splintered mass of debris.
The accident occurred just few
rods from the bridge over the Benja-
min river The work OF relief began
Immediately, as, owing to the re-
markable escape of nearly all the
small number of passengers aboard,
those who were injured and pinioned
in the debris were speedily rescued
and at once given attention. Relief
trains were hurried from Springfield
and Havana and the more seriously
injured were taken l. hospitals.
The engineer, who escaped injury,
said he watched the gathering storm
closely as his train sped along, as he
feared from the appearance of the
clouds that tornado might result.
AS the train approached Oakland the
clouds suddenly seemed to concen-
trate and drop, apparently coming di-
rectly toward the train.
Realizing that the train would en-
counter the tornado if it proceeded,
the engineer quickly shut off steam
and came to halt. The approaching
tornado, when about mile away to
the southwest and coming northeast,
suddenly swerved farther toward the
north and the train was directly in
its path.
Instantly the engineer opened the
throttle in wild endeavor to rush
beyond the zone of danger and again
the tornado swerved and headed di-
rectly for the flying train.
The roar was heard plainly above
the rattle of the train. Steam was
crowded OH, and, like a rocket, the
light accommodation, jumping and
pounding on the rails. flashed ahead
in an endeavor to cross before the
cyclone and pass in safety.
Suddenly, with crash that was
heard above the rumble and roar OF
the tornado, the train was struck
broadside, the coaches torn from tho
engine and lifted into the air and
hurled from the embankment into the
ditch seven feet below, turning com.
plete somersault in the descent and
landing a splintered mass. The en-
CINE alone remained upon the rails.

Peace Suggested By This Country.

While the officials here are satisfied
from their private advices that the re-
cent visit of King Edward to his
nephew, Emperor William. was not
brought about by purpose to initiate
a movement toward the restoration of
peace between Russia and Japan,
there is reason to believe that some
very careful and discreet inquiries as
to the opportunities of some such
overtures at this time have emanated
from Washington.
1t may be stated that the result has
been to disclose the fact that neither
of the belligerent Powers is yet in
a humor to sue for peace, nor even
to entertain overtures from any third
Power on that subject.
The State Department will continue
to maintain the friendly position it
has so far held toward both Russia
and Japan, standing ready to mediate
and extend its good Offices to the full
whenever the belligrents indicate
their willingness to accept them. It
cannot be said that the situation is
sensibly changed from what it was
a month ago, saving the fact that
there is a more optimistic feeling in
official quarters that there will soon
be an opening for diplomacy to exer-
else its peaceful methods in the Far
Eastern struggle.
