SITUATION TENSE AT FRONT.
Russian and Japanese Commanders
 Getting in Shape for Battle.

Gunshu Pass. May 25.-The situa- tion is very tense. The rival com manders are watching each other like hawks, but there has been no move on the part of Field Marshal Oyama Reports continue to point to the prox- unity of fighting on large scale. General Linevitch sent General Rem nenkampff's eossacks on daring ex- petition around Field Marshal Oyama's left. Rennenkampff succe cd ed in penetrating to the rear of the Japanese. but paid dearly his cos sacks being badly cut up.
 A strict censorship is being main tained. Linevitch has taken far great CT precautions than did Kuropatkin to prevent his plans leaking out
 A report from St. Petersburg says that Lineviteh has determined upon the recall of kuropatlsin
 An unconfirmed report from Manila has it that the Russian and Japanese fleets have met south of Formosa, and that the Japanese were defeated.

TOUT" FOR A DOCTOR.
Collector of Debts Conceives New Way of Swelling His Weekly
 Income

T think said the shrcwd collector. missions this week. At any rate, have recommended doctor to two sick people, and If they are in as bad shape as think they are he ought to make enough off of them to afford to pay me five dollars apiece"
 'Is looking up patients for impecu nious doctors one of your specialties?" asked friend, according to the New York Herald
 Well yes," admitted the collector: it is kind of side issue. But it isn't fair to call this doctor impecunious. He is really good physician and has patients of his own. Still, he Is not averse to receiving new ones occas- ionally to take the place of the old ones that he sends away cured. Then. am not only doing him favor by increas- ing his practice. but I am acting the part of good Samaritan to the sick folks.
 Tt was wholly by accident that hit upon that way of serving my fellow men. One morning I called at an Eighty-first street house to collect the monthly pay ment on a set of books had to wait several minutes before I could see the woman who owed the money. While waiting was asked to step into the par Tor. There was a man in the room, huddled up against the register and coughing miserably He spoke pres ently of what bad shape he was in
 You do seem a little tuckered out said I. Have you seen a doctor?'
 No, said he. I haven't. I don't know whom to see. 1 am stranger in town. and I have learned to fight shy of tha doctors one picks up by chance. They are apt to do you more harm than good.
 That Is so, said I. And then I thought of Dr. Blank He had recently pulled me through spell of sickness, and naturally had faith in his ability. I told the man my own experience and advised him to see the doctor. He proved to be a pretty profitable patient. and the doctor, of course, did the square thing by me. Since then have been on the lookout for opportunities to recom- mend him. Many of my calls are made at boarding houses, where strangers abound In the nature of things those people get sick occasionally. and since all New York doctors look alike to them they don't know which one to consult In such an emergency frequently hap pen around. and then-well, Dr. Blanks name Is straightway suggested"

DOG SURELY REASONED.
Facts in the Case Certainly Seemed to Strengthen This Mans
 Assertion.

"I sec said the St. Louis man. that the question of whether animals think or not is now being much discussed in the papers"
 And which side do you take?" was asked, says the Chicago Daily News.
 'I know they think When I was q boy I went after harvest apples once. and the farmers dog drove me up tree and kept me there for five hours"
 But that doesn't prove that he had thoughts
 Hold on. The farmer was away from home and didn't return until sundown, and then he took me down out of the tree and gave me the walloping of my life. In the first place. the dog knew that his master was gone; in the second. he knew that he wouldn't be back until sundown; thirdly he knew that if he came back and found me I'd get hid ing. lastly, if it wasn't all reasoned out, why didn't he leave me at the end of four hours to bite tramp who was stealing turnips farther down the road? I still have one more reason"
 And that is?"
 That three months later, when met that dog on the steps of the meeting house of a Sunday, he bolted for home like a streak of greased lightning. Would he have done that if he hadn't thought l had brickbat under my jacket?"

Cotton planting is about 80 per cent completed the early planted Is up to fair to good stand, and chop ping has begun in many sections; ow- ing to wet weather and lack of sum- shine some cotton is reported as dy- ing. Corn is not all planted; it made little progress during the week, and is turning yellow in some sections; the crops would be greatly benefited by sunshine and cultivation. Wheat, oats and pastures are doing well. Po- tatoes are less promising than earlier in the season. Apples continue drop ping and will be poor crop in some northwestern counties; other fruits are in good condition and promise good crops except peaches in the eont;oD
