A JAPANESE
Does Not Indicate that the Battle Has
Become Serious,

General kuroki's Headquarters, an.
81, via Fusan.-Regular Manchurian
weather prevails, intense cold, with
cutting winds and swirls Of snow.
Sounds of battle were heard at inter-
walls along the entire front this morn
ing. The Russian artillery was feeling
the whole Japanese line. 1t is uncertain
whether this will bring on a general en-
gagement or not. The Japanese guns
r~efrained from replying to the Russians,
except on the left, where the fighting
which ceased at dark yesterday was re-
newed this morning.
The clouds of snow made it impossible
to sec more than Il few hundred feet
away. The Russian gunners' fire was
largely guesswork. Early this after
400 the firing stopped.
If the Russian operations We're pre-
liminary to a general attack, as APP
pears possible, their plans were frus-
trated by the storm n fog. They
could not have chosen a worse time.
The hardsfips of the soldiers, amp
ing on the plains where there is no
shelter or fuel, and but little water.

VANDERBILT BEAT ADAM
More Money in One Generation Than in
5000 Years Saving, Says Abbott.

Philadelphia, Jan. 2s--Dr. Lyman ABB
bott. in a lecture before the Philadelphia
Divinity school, made a remarkable COM
parison of the wealth of Adam. had he
lived the 5000 years since the time Of his
birth and saved SO a day and the fortune
that Cornelius Vanderbilt left at the time
of his DEATH. DR.. Abbott said:
..Cornelius Vanderbilt died worth about
500, Q O,0O0. Now Adam was born about
6,0O0 years ago, and if he had lived until
the present day, putting aside $40 each
day of his life, he would not at this time
be as wealthy as Mr.. Vanderbilt at the
time of his death. There should be no
limit to a man makes, provided he
makes every cent of it; but such an
amount as I have Just mentioned could
not be gotten together by labor, either
manual or mental; some of it has been
taken from the olnmon stock. Taxes
should be levied OF possession, for it costs
the government more to protect wealth
tha.. poverty. The man who has to de-
pend on his muscle has a poor chance in
the world. Brain development is the road
to success, and effective industrial educa-
ton will abolish class distinctions"

when the institute was opened by the
president. George w. Winter, and during
the afternoon session the opera house
could not seat all who We're In attendance.
j.. w. H~oiinquist took occasion in his adj
dress of welcome to give his ideas of the
advantages farmers now have in freight
rates to what they did when he entered
the grain and lumber business a little less
than a score of years ago..
The address of welcome was fittingly re-
sponded to by the president, after which,
the secretary, Andrew Young, jr., read the
minutes of the meeting of 1904. One feat

and highly appreciated, was a very brief
synopsis of the things given last year by
the different ones on the program-just
to refresh our memory.

most OPPORTUNITY.
The belief exists that Marshal Oya-
ma sought to take advantage of any
depression prevailing in the Russian
ranks as the result of the news from
ST. Petersburg by an attack against
General kuropatkin's right, but the
Russian commander in chief seems TO
have turned the tables, inflicting con
siderable loss on the Japanese Thurs
day and taking several positions west
ward along the plain of the Hun river.
Evidently General K~uropatkin is fol-
lowing up his victory, the latest dis
patches to the Associated Press from
the front, dated 6 o'clock in the even
ing of January 81, indicating that there
is a battle in progress extending along
the center n becoming more and
more serious. However, it seems to be
confined to artillery.
Must Reach the Flanks.
If the fighting develops into a gen
eral engagement military men believe
that it must reach out to the TANKS,
their opinion being that a frontal at
tack by either side under the present
circumstances is impossible. The au-
thorities are receiving the news from
the front with great satisfaction, be-
ing convinced that it will serve at
least to distract attention from the
strike situation and internal affairs
generally.
At the same time the strike situa-
ton generally is improving. In st.
Petersburg there is no longer any
doubt that the strike is broken. Four
teen establishments, including the
Franco-Russian, A%bourkoff, Baltic
Russo-American Rubber company anG
the Ropes American refinery, already
have resumed work, II an entire
starting up of factories seems to be
assured for next Monday.
