Hands of Japanese.


ST. Petersburg. March i7s--with tn.
evacuation Of Tie Pass, the Russian
army abandoned the last stronghold II
southern Manchuria and definitel,
turned over that section to the ia
panese for thecampaign Of 1905. Al
ieast no other strategy is possible for
General kuroptakin, in view Of his
Fcanty supplies OF ammunition and
stores. the shattered condition of hi,
army and the wide enveloping move
msnts which the Japanese have con-
tnued almost without stop since the
Russian defeat Of Mukden. Nothing
has been heard Of the part which
General Kamamura's army is taking In
this operation. but Generals Nogi and
0ku, operating ia the low hills Of the
Tie Pass gorge, We're themselves suffi-
Gent to turn the shattered Russian
army out of the Notifications which
had hoe7 prepared with a view to be
ing held by the army after it should
have Jeen withdrawn from Mukden.
The japanese evidently are doing
their utmost to accomplish envelop-
ment of the Russian army, which all
but succeeded at Iukden, but General
kuropatldn, with the railway for a line
of retreat probably would be able to
keep n haed Of his pursuers. A con-
slant success Of delaying rear guard
encounters may be expected,
The situation OF Tie Pass involves
the loss Of the coal mines in that
vicinity, which. with the Fushun and
Tentai mines gone, is a severe blow

Further mobilization has been deter
mined upon and preparatory orders
to quartermasters, etc, are already be-
ing issued, but the extent Of the mobi-
lization Is not known.

Too much care cannot beused with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard
against bowel troubles AS a rule it
is only necessary to give the child
dose of castor oil to correct any
disorder of the bowels. Do not use
any substitute, but give the old-fash-
toned castor oil, and see that it is
frseh, as rancid oil nauseates and has
a tendency to grippe. Chamberlain

disease may be check0l in its incip-
