MERE SPECULATION
AS TO OPPOSING FORCES

London, March 30.-No Japanese re-
port of the land operations in Korea
has yet been received here, and there
is much speculation as to the size of
the opposing armies, regarding which
there is no reliable information.
A correspondent at Russian head
quarters in Mukden telegraphs that &C.
cording to reports received there about
10000 Japanese have crossed the river
at Chino hangau and 5000 have ad-
vanced north from Chong Ju.
The Chronicles Shanghai correspond
ents assert that practically the whole
Japanese army in Korea, consisting of
100000 men, Is concentrated at PAX
Chen and ANU, only small detach-
ments being left in Southern Korea to
maintain communications.
A st. Petersburg special says that a
Russian division of $4,000 men from
Southern Ussuri is advancing in two
columns through Korea. The main col
umn, coming along the east coast road,
reached Puk Chang, $50 miles from the
Tumen river, and the thanking column,
consisting of Cossacks and mountain
artillery coming along the valley of
the Tumen river towards Its source,
has reached the coast of Lake Tadji.
This column reports that the Japanese
are advancing north from Gen San,
and that their advance guard is en-
camped at Chong Ping. 1t is prob
able, however, that none of these re-
ports can be accepted as authentic.

Atlanta, March 29.-Commissioner o.

the fruit crop. While there was a
light frost in the northern part of

to hurt the crop to any extent.
even IL the frost killed few Of
the buds" said Col. Stevens, this will
not injure the crop, for the trees were
so thickly covered with buds that 1t
would have been necessary to strip
off many of them, or many of the
young peaches, in order that the trees
might not be too heavily laden.

opinion"

WILLIAMS DECLARES PEOPLE
FEAR "HIS STRENUOSITY'
Do Not Know What Roosevelt Might Do in Some
Unusually Rash Moment

Washington, March 29.-For the want
of speakers general debate on the sun
dry civil appropriation bill in the
House to-day was closed several hours
before the time agreed upon and the
bill was read for amendment. Seven
ty-five pages were disposed of, the
only important amendment adopted be-
ing one providing for an initial APP
preparation of 100000 for the compile
ton of the Capitol building according
to the original design.
Mr.. Campbell of Kansas, and Mr..
Williams of Illinois We're the principal
speakers to-day, the former defend
ing the protective tariff policy of the
Republican party and the latter de-
nouncing the Republicans for failing to
investigate the Postoffice Department.
Mr.. Williams declared that the fail
ure of the Republicans to investigate
the Postoffice Department has made
the public scandals of this adminis-
tration a very important issue in the
next campaign" No one, he said,
could read the report of the robbery
and larceny in the Postoffice Depart
ment and the reckless and notorious
methods with which they had been al
lowed to continue without fixing some
responsibility on the head of that de-
partment. When, he said, we see tn ese

A dispatch from Augusta, published

Senator Bacon as having written to

Senator German had told him that he

TR00PED OUT OF HOUSE
WHEN CHURCHILL SPOKE.
BaIfour and His Cohorts Didn't Like
His CenRure

His Censure.
London, March 29.-The usual mo-
ton providing for the adjournment of
the House of Commons over the Easter
holidays gave the Liberal leader. Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman. an on
portunlty to make spirited attack on
tne government. Sir Henry said he
ala not think it was in accordance with
tne spirit OF the constitution that Pre-
mler Balfour should retain power when
the country had shown at every on
portunity afforded it that he no longer
enjoyed its favor.
Mr.. Balfour, replying, said he noted
the anxiety of the Liberal leader that
ne should resign, but he was quite I'M
able to see why the government should
take the unprecedented course of re-
signing Office while it retained the con-
hdence of the House. Sir Henry could
settle the question of the governments
resignation or not by a vote of CEN
sure.
Mr.. Balfour concluded with declar-
ing that the governments fiscal policy
was that of real, progressive free
trade.
When Winston Spencer Churchill
CONSERVATIVE rose and pressed Mr..
Balfour for a further explanation of
the governments fiscal policy, saying
the vacillation of the government had
caused him to become one of its OPP
ponents instead of one of its support
ers, the Premier and all the Unionists
except ten trooped out of the House.
The incident led to protests on the part
of other MEMBERS against the discour-
tesy shown to Mr.. Churchill.

cation will uncover new crimes that

ministration"
If, said Mr.. Williams, he had to
select an issue upon which all DEM
ocrats could unite, he would say
Roosevelt must be defeated" He re-
ferred to the characteriz alton Of Mr..
Roosevelt before he became President
as the trust buster" but, he said,
since he came into power all his in
dictments against the trusts were at

Democratic laughter. have learned

He said that one Of the greatest jokes
on the public was perpetrated when
the announcement was made, that
Theodore Roosevelt was to be the anti
trust candidate in 1904" 1t was no
longer a secret, he asserted, that the
business interests Of the country, in
Guiding many who supported Mckinley,
do not regard President Roosevelt as
a safe man. By many, he said, his
administration was looked upon as a
continuing experiment entirely too
theatrical for the business interests of
the country without sufficient time be-
tween acts to allow the people
breathing spell.
He further attacked Mr.. Roosevelt
when he said there were many Incl
dents in his administration which JUS
tify the apprehension that ION some
strenuous occasion he is liable to go
off too suddenly and too inconsiderAte-
ly in some of the graver affairs of

Nobody, not even the most learned
scientist living, can tell all of the rea-
sons why the children do not thrive
in growth. We often notice children
who have formerly been robust and
strong suddenly and without any APP
parent cause begin to show signs of
failing health. Appetite is not as keen
as 1t was, the cheeks begin to lose
their color, and there is a falling off
in weight. Food does not nourish as
1t should, there is a susceptibility to
taking cold, and the evidence is as
plain as daylight that the vitality is
lowered.
Let us introduce a letter which
ought to be interesting to every
mother.
Milton Junction, Wis, Nov. 81. 1903.
Dear Sirs: 1 want to tell you what
good your Ozomulsion has done to my
little son, now three years old. He
had been in delicate health and had
suffered a great deal with impaired
digestion. He was very pale, had no
appetite, and had great deal of sore
throat. He was not strong, and we
were very much worried about him.
A short time ago / commenced CIV
ing him Ozomulsion, and the change
in him has indeed been remarkable.
whenever / see a pale. thin child
now / think of Ii and wish that the
child could have the beneficial proper
ties which / know Ozomulsion con-
tains. Our little son now weighs SO
pounds, has rosy cheeks, a good APP
petite, sleeps we'll and is growing
nicely. His digestion is all right, he
no longer suffers from constipation
and, in fact, he is the picture of
health in every way.
We cannot possibly praise Ozomul-
sion too much, as we are so thankful
for what it did to our little boy.
Very truly yours,
