KUROKI ACROSS 'SHAEHE.
RUSSIANS OUTFLANKED.
Hard Fighting Continues on East
Signs of General 4ctiOn.


Mouxden, Feb. 27.-The Japanese crossed the
Shakhe River last evening, having driven in
the pickets OF the Russian vanguard Russian
supports came up and stopped the Japanese ad-
vance. Heavy firing continued to-day to the
eastward
On the right flank all is quiet. but movements
of the Japanese indicate an intention to attack
the Russian centre at least in the way of dem
onstration.
The soldiers of the Tsinkhetchen division are
in good spirits, in spite of the heavy losses they
have sustained. They are encouraged by the ex-
ecution they wrought on the Japanese, whose
bodies were piled in heaps outside the redoubts
at Beresneft tHm and the trenches at Tsink-
hetchen.
Yesterday afternoon there heavy storm

night moderated.

Madyadani Feb 27.-After most desperate
fighting the Russians remained yesterday even

selves madly from noon until dark. The Rus
SLAMS, who were greatly outnumbered, sustained
repeated attacks. some units losing as high as
20 per cent in killed or wounded in bayonet
fighting, to which they were reduced by lack of
ammunition. In order to hold Da Pass the last
reserves were sent to the firing line.
The Japanese turning operation in the
gion of Gauto Pass was checked by battalion
Of Russian infantry and several squadrons of
cavalry, which repused the Japanese with heavy
loss
The Japanese, also tried to advance on Nangou

YALK BEFORE WORK

Mr. Sato's talk about the coming peace nego-
tiations from the Japanese point of view is fol-
lowed by another from Mr.. Wtte, who is now
on hls way hither TO represent Russia at Ports
mouth Baron Rosen maintains silence and
Baron komura and Mr.. Takahira are content to
let Mr.. Sato speak, though whether he speaks
Tor them or merely on his own account does
not appear Meantime all these utterances Of
Mr.. Sato and Mr.. Witte and also those of the
prominent statesmen" whose names are not
disclosed, are cabled hther and thither and are
widely discussed as though they were the actual
proposals and arguments of the peace confer
ence
They are, however, no such thing. We trust
it will not be deemed disrespectful if we say
they are talk. and nothing more. OF course,
talk from such sources is not idle, but is worthy
of serious consideration. Nevertheless, it is en-
tirely conceivable that even the most authori-
tative statesman might to some extent address
himself to the galleries, might say things in
tended TO exert moral influence upon his diplo-
matte opponent. We can imagine a Japanese
statesman, for example, saying things for the
sake of warning Russia that his country does
not mean to let everything be after the war
just as 1t was before the war; bue that it means
to gain the ends for which it formerly con-
tended. and incidentally TO be repaid for the
expense it has been put to in the matter. We
also imagine a Russian statesman of the
first rank saying things for the sake of warn
ing Japan that Russia will not submit to too
harsh and humiliating terms, and also for the
sake of assuring Russia that her interests and
honor are safe in his hands. All such talk will,
however. be forgotten when actual work be-

UYIoN-nADE MUSIC IN THE PARKS

1t adds greatly to the satisfaction and pride
of NEWCOMERS to know that. Notwithstanding
the present heated season, nothing can relax
the Spartan resolution and the Argus-eyed
watchfulnesS with which the municipal author-
ties guard their interests Others may forget
or go on a vacation but they remain at the
post of duty and OF danger TO see that the
citizens interests receive no detriment This
watchful oversight extends even to recreations
and pleasures, and it was with a glow of pride
that NEWCOMERS learned that even the music
of the parks was properly protected. Park
Commissioner Pallas is not unknown to fame
but that fact merely inspires him to renewed
efforts to spread his name far beyond the
bounds of pent up Manhattan. His ambi-
ton in that regard clearly revealed at the
meeting of the Central Federated Union last
Sunday. Being Sunday, and our "paganzed"
Sunday at that, it might have been supposed
that, availng himself of the general liberty of
the day, Commissioner Pallas, like the unoffi-
cial New-YOrker, had sought rest and refresh
ment from his labOrs; but such was not the
case. He was still on guard and when ques-
ton came up in the union about non-union sing
ing in the parks, the Commissioner was at hand
to settle at once all doubts on the subject and
assure all good unionists that their interests
were being jealousy guarded. The charge hav-
ing been made that non-union or "scab' singers
were allowed to sing in the parks, Commissioner
Pallas rose and sternly asked, where are the
non-uniOn singers?" The reply came that they
were in The Bronx. We quote the Commission
er's crushing rejoinder:
Why don't you tell the exact truth2 You made
general statements which you refused to verify
before you brought them to the union. | am not
responsible for The Bronx parks and you know
it. There is one girl singing in the parks in Man
haitian, but know that she joined the union
before she began to sing there
The nOn-union singer may sing for brief
time in The Bronx, but not even non-union
girl vocalist contaminates the pure union made
music of Manhattan's parks, thanks TO the vigi-
lance and unyielding firmness of Commissioner
Pallas. The assurance must be gratifying in
deed TO every one who has the interests of
union music at heart. Now let all who have
taken out cards in the Musical Union join In
singing our grand national anthem-third stanza,
please:
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet Freedoms song;
Let union tongues awake;
Let not 'scab" partake;
Let rocks their silence break
The sound prolong.

TIE ST. SWITHIN MYTH.

There have been this year fewer references
than usual to the weather forecast of st.
Swithin's Day, which is hopeful sign. Never
theless there have been some and we suppose
there are otherwise sane and judiciOus folk who
continue to regard the meteorological conditions
of that day as infallibly indicative of those of
the following forty days, and who will persist
in vaguely referring to such or such year in
which the doggerel prophecy was certainly full
filed.
Now, Of course, if the saying were true one,
based upon divine decree, it would nfallibly
be fulfilled every year. If it is not fulfilled
every year it must be regarded as quite un-
worthy of any consideration whatever. But
the fact is that instead of being fulfilled every
year, it is invariably broken every year. We
believe we are entirely correct in saying that
never once in single year has that prophecy
been fulfilled. That is certainly the case in the
country in which it made, and to which it
is supposed particularly to apply, for the whole
period during which records of the weather
have been kept.
This year. for example, in England St Swithns
Day was fine and raipless. But the very next
day it rained! We have before us official rec
ords of the weather in England from 1S41 to
1905, and in not one of all those years were
there fewer than four rainy days in the forty
following st. Swithin's. The average of rainy
days following a wet st. Swithin's was seven
teen, with an average total rainfall of 313
inches, and the average of rainy days following
a dry st. Swithin's was just the same seven
teen but with an average fall of 3.33 inches; SO
that the dry St Swtthin's days were followed
by wetter weather than the wet ones to the ex-
tent of one-ffth of an inch! In the last eigh-
teen years there were eight dry and ten wet St
Swithin's days, and in not one year were there
fewer than eleven or more than thirty y-four
rainy days in the succeeding forty.
We are inclined to think. therefore that St
Swithin would better give place to the horse
chestnut cure for rheumatism or to the Man
with Live Snake in His Stomach
