witchcraft In England.

A woman Of Scarborough, England,
charged a short time ago with cruelty
neglecting her children, believed that
her victims had been bewitched by an
evilly disposed neighbor. Superstition
and credulity are still prevalent in Eng
land Last year London coroner had
before him a man and woman who.
with their six children. slept in one
room, about which several live rabbits
were running. The adults believed
that the presence Of the animals was a
safeguard against rheumatism. Not
long ago Fulbourn (Cambridgeshire)
man was fined for having kept his
horses without food and having given
them q broth" Of water, paringS Of
hoofs. nails, needles aud pins. This
was the dose which wise man" had
advised to remove the spell which was
believed to have been cast over the
horses by q witch. vt about the same
time it came out in :; trial that an old
lady had paid witch $500 for a pow
der the burning of which would bring
her great fortune.

Toxic, May 20.-The government
has received information during the
day from Marshal Oyama, who official
ly announces that his great japanese
army of 400 900 veterans has begun a
concerted advance in three divisions
under the three ~undefea1ed generals,
kuroki, NodZu and Nogi, and they are
expected to strike the Russian army
at almost any time. Linevitch has
about 300 900 men to oppose the Japs,
and his troops are strongly en-
t~renched. The rains which have
stopped the advance until now are
about over, and the Japs are full of
enthusiasm as they march on to an
other general engagement, which to-
day is regarded as imminent. Today's
newspapers assert hat kuropatkin
has left the Russian forces and is now
on his way to Crimea to ~recuperate.

the acceptance of the terms agreed
upon by the conference committee
