RENEWAL OF HosTlLlrIEs Ex.
PEcTED TO BEGIN SHORTLY
BELOW GuNsHu PASS.
CARS FORCES READY FOR BATTLE.
CONCENTRATION OF ARMY COM
PLETED, WITH ADVANCE
LINES AT sIPINGHAi.

Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, April H.
A renewal Of fighting is expected
shortly. The concentration of the
Russian army is complete, with its
advance lines south of the station of
Sipinehai, sseventy-four miles north of
Tie pass. The Japanese are screening
their movements well by means Of
cavalry and it is difficult to locate
the bulk of their army. A heavy
movement seems to be in progress
on the Russian fanks. The railroad
station at Changtufu, forty to fifty
uiles above Tie pass, is occupied by
Japanese artillery, but so far as as.
certainable it does not cover a large
body of troops.
A two-wheeled cart of the Russo
Chinese bank containing more than
100000, which was lost during the
retreat from Mukden, has been found,
but the cash chest Of the Ninth regi-
ment OF artillery, which was also lost,
is still undiscovered.
A movement Of Chinese bandits led
by Japanese officers through Mongolia
in the direction of Tsitsihar, 800 miles
west of Harbin, has been reported
and pressure is being brought by the
japanese in China for an open alli-
ance with Japan Yuan Shi Kai, gov
ernor OF Pechili province, and Gen
eral Ma. commander OF the Chinese
troops on the frontier, are said to be
at the head of this agitation. Gen
eral Linevitch's headquarters are in
General Kuropatkin's old train.

Holmes of the supreme court Of the
United States delivered the opinion of
that court in the case of Henry w.
Peabody & Co. and Warner, Barnes

shipped by them from New. York to
Manila between April II, 1899, the
date when the ratifications Of the
treaty with Spain were exchanged,

lowed the lines of the Judgment of

ity to give the island the character OF

fict occurred during the evening in
Dzi!Sa street, where a Jewish socialist
society had organized a demonstra-

casket was decked with the most lovely
array of flowers that nature and art
could produce. Among the floral offer
ings was one by the members of the
school board, each of whom took this
opportunity of displaying the warm per-
sonal friendship for the father Rev.
Geo. III. Davis led the service, in the
course of which he narrated a beautiful
story of a little boy, whom an angel
dissuaded from endeavoring to stay the
flight of his sisters soul from the world
of sadness to that of Joy. Rev. j. NJ.
Brown read the scripture lesson. The
sweet solemnity of the occasion was
made the more impressive by the sing
ing of President Cooper and Mrs. Parry

casket was carried to the hearse by
