~ LINEVITCH ENVELOPED
Oyama Encircles Russian Army and
Begins Tightening Line.

New York Sun Special Service.
Toxic, June 17.-General Linevitch,
with his entire army, is completely en-
veloped. The Japanese army has made
a circle Of a hundred miles in circum-
ference around him, and gradually is
drawing closer, moving with even a
greater-degree of mobility than it did
at Mukden.
The Russian commander, it is be-
ieved certain, will lose in what prob
ably will be the greatest battle of the
war.
The Russians, have accumulated i'm
mense stores at Gun-shu pass, 100
miles north of Tie pass, which forms a
center, whence troops are dispatched in
all directions.
Many light railways are being con,
structed northward to facilitate the
Russian retreat. It seems that Cen
eral Linevitch, who is bewildered bv
the japanese strategy, has theory
that General Kuropatkin always was
defeated because he never provided a
satisfactory place at which to stop his
retreat. Consequently he is building
permanent works along the Sunpari
river.

EASY TERMS OR MORE WAR
Russia Tells Japan That Harsh Terms
Will Not Be Accepted.
ew York Sun Special Service

New York Sun Special Service
Washington, June 17.-Russia has
made known to the United States and
the other powers that unless Japan
shows moderation in her terms the
peace negotiations will fail.
The car was not the one to ask for
peace. He feels, in spite Of the revers-
he can continue the war indefinitely and
will prefer to do so rather than accept
humiliating conditions.
It is the first action that has been
taken by Russia in connection with the
terms Of peace. 1t has provoked repre-
sensations by all the neutral powers,
save Great Britain, at Toxic, and has
brought the response that the Japanese
government has no intention to be I'M
reasonable.
Great Britain will not insist that
Japan modify her conditions, but will
allow her to impose any terms she may
see fit, and will see that no nation in
terfereS.

Big Employers Quizzed.

Prominent employers connected with
the present strike have been called
before the inquisitors and questioned
concerning a conspiracy.
The name of the firm of Sears, Roe,
buck & Co. was coupled with that OF
Montgomery Ward & Co., and it is said
that before the present strike was
called, offers to avert it for money
consideration were made.
According to story which reached
the inquisitors today, the firm of Sears,
Roebuck & Co. received an anonymous
letter in woman's handwriting few
days before the strike was called, stat
ing that a strike was about to take
place and that it could be averted thru
the use of money. The letter is said to
be in the possession Of the company
now. althc Albert H. Loeb said that he
had no knowledge Of such letter.
Some Queer Moves.
1t was also stated that Thomas
Hughes, the teaming contractor VINO
Co., engaged a number Of extra teams

erected by the former concern on, the
West Side Suddenly the talk about
tying up Sears, Roebuck & Co. was
dropped, and despite the protests OF the
garment workers, no effort was made to

Another sensation was sprung before
the teamsters had an organized sang

The name Of the woman whom he

say that he hoped so1n to lead her to

Service of the papers has been de-

outside the courts, and counsel repre-
senting both parties are now trying to

Mr.. Hutchinson, who is IS years of

being joint defendants ON a criminal
charge, has been laid before the grand
jury. All the witnesses were closely
questioned regarding the alleged con

Fake says some startling exposures will
result.
The grand jury, it is said, is prac-
tically convinced that there was con-
spiracy behind the present strike, and
il is on this point that evidence is be-

said to be worrying more over the new
developments than they did over the
graft charges, as the latter are in most
instances outlawed by the statute OF
limitations.

Leading Woman suffragist.

Miss Wetherell is one of the foremost
workers in the ranks of the Woman
Suffrage movement in this state She
is also radical socialist. Her ideas
have been along the same lines which
Mr.. Hutchinson expounds, and it was
thru the harmonization Of these ideas
that they came to be close, intimate
friends.
Miss Wetherell is over so years old,
and was born in Lynn, and always lived
there. Being deprived Of the COM
plete use of her limbs thru accident,
she. has been unable to engage in any
active labor, and has devoted most Of
her life to the study of the social prob
lens and the cultivation of the
sciences.
Mr.. Hutchinson knew her from child
hood: AS she grew to womanhood,
and became disciple Of advanced pol.
itical thought, he was attracted to her,
and spent more or less time in her com
pany exchanging views, and frequently
appeared in public, while he sang and
she talked.
Miss Wetherell was so much overcome
by the publication Of the story of their
relations that she positively declined
to see or discuss the case with ANYBODY

BREAD FROM MACARONl

Miller, S. D.. Sept. 4.-Twenty-fve
cents less a bushel for macaroni than
other wheat is causing loud complaint
here from the farmers, who believe that
the big mills are mixing and grinding
it with the other wheat for their best
-four. They believe that prejudice is
making its lower price. This belief is
strengthened since the Brookipgs col
lege issued a special bulletin on maca-
roni bread experiments. The bulletin
reats extensively on the subject from
a scientific standpoint. 1t says that the
uses of the macaroni wheat are more
extended than those of the wheats used
for hat purpose Then some of the
nlacaroni Wheats make elegant bread,
bread that is scarcely eQualed by the
best of the bread Wheats. AS a rule
the products from macaroni wheat are
richer in protein or muscle building ma
terial than any of the bread wheats,
but in order to satisfy the American
trade demand q rigid course of selection
must be resorted TO in choosing the
macaroni variety which will prove
most satisfactory. 1t is now we'll known
that macaroni WheatS are pre-elninent-
ly dry weather Wheats. In certain
years rust and smut ruin the more ten
der Wheats. AS a rule the macaroni
wheats are strongly resistant to these
adverse crop conditions n it now re-
mains TO select from the available
durums such as give the best results
when used for the trade demands" The

that macaroni is all right and to be-
lieve that it is being made into choice
