treaty. Secretary Brown declares
that at present gambling is the ma
tional vice in that country, where
every town has it's official gambling
house, licensed by the government
which frequently auctions the privi-
lege. All are conducted openly, and
in many of them free entertainments,
theatrical and otherwise, are given
nightly to attract patronage. The mis-
sionaries have long represented to
the king that the gambling habit is in
imical 10 the best interests of Siam,
and that the money the government
derived thereby was at a ruinous cost
to character and legitimate industry.
The king is now said TO have accepted
this view, and will attempt to insti-
tute reforms.

st. Petersburg, March 16.-With the

possible for Kuropatkin with his scan

The Japanese are evidently doing
their utmost TO accomplish the COM

the railroad for his line of retreat,
will probably be able to keep ahead of
his pursuers. Military men have only

from the front is again very serious.
FielH Marshal Oyama is striking an
other blow at the defeated Russian
army. In spite of the exhaustion of
his forces after the long twelve rays

to organize a fresh turning movement

won under the walls of Mukden. Tues

battle was in progress north of Tie
Pass. That General Kuropatkin was
taken by surprise is a fair inference
from the manner in which Tuesday
night he abandoned the Fan river DO

was again obliged to burn his stores
