LAND FORCES MORE ACTIVE

st. Petersburg, May 25.-The admiralty
has no information eontirmatory of the
Manila report of the defeat of Admiral
Togo south of Formosa While it Is con-
sidered possible that there may have been
a brush between scouts, the idea Of an
open battle with Togo is not credited in
the best informed naval circles, where the
opinion is expressed that Admiral Togo
would not dare risk bringing his battle
ship division so far south to meet Admiral
Rojestvensky. 1t is believed Togo will try
to keep in touch with the Russians by
means of fast cruisers and await his ap-
proach off the Japanese coast. Accord
ing to the admiralty's calculations Roiest-
vensky should now be far out in the Pacific
almost a thousand miles northeast from
where the battle is reported to have oc-
Cured.
An admiral of high rank said to The
Associated Press this afternoon
I'VE have known for some time that
Rojestvenslky would not attempt to pass
through the straits of Formosa, where
the waters are shallow and could easily
be mined ahead of his ships. Rojestyensky
will undoubtedly keep far out to sea in
order to avoid torpedo attacks. A wide
detour will also make 1t harder for the
Japanese ships to communicate with
Togo. However, / expect news of a battle
within ten days"
The evening papers have gotten out ex-
tras on the report ef Rojestvensky's vic
tory and the newsboys crying the tidings
on the Nevsky Prospect were almost
mobbed by the people in their eagerness
to learn the details.

Man Best Able to Help she
South at This
Time.

Washington, May 25.--After adopting
resolutions on subjects of vital interest
to the south the Southern Industrial Par
lament adjourned today to meet in some
southern city at date in October to be
designated later BY Governor Glenn Of
North Carolina, chairman of the execu-
tive committee, Today discussions were
spirited and personal. Before adjourn
ment, however, all feeling had vanished
and many delegates rose and declared the
parliament had been a success and foun-
dation has been laid for gigantic or
ganization. Owing to the amount of bus
iness necessary to be concluded the par
lament was compelled to abandon its
programme except d brief address by
Clifford Pinchot chief OF the bureau of
forestry of the department of agriculture,
who advised the conservation of the
forests.
The resolutions adopted were as follows:
Urging the government to look after in
land waterways in the south and gulf
states and to improve the rivers and
harbors of the south; requestiong the Sec
retary of commerce and labor to make
immediate efforts to relieve the depressed
conditions existing with the cotton mill
industry; urging Congress to reduce the
tax on tobacco; endorsing the proposed
Pan-American college to be established in
the south; urging congress to make ap-

Delegates bitterly protested against a

members and slde-track an important

councilmen in behalf of the gas lease.
This is denied by organization leaders.
