PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Preparing for the Big BattIe-on to
Harb;n

The signs point to another clash be-
tween Japanese and Russians this
week unless the latter see fit to retire
toward Hardin. Field Marshal Oyama
after a time of brief reorganization OF
his main army during which small
bodies have been skirting the Russian
tanks, has evidently begun another ad
vance Of his entire force with wings
far extended. 1t will be for the Rus.
slams to fight or fall back.
At several points north Of Tie Pass
the Russians have thrown up heavy
entertainments, and in the positions
most easily defended there will no
doubt be stubborn resistance. II is
hard to say whether a permanent
stand can be made, but there are slight
reasons for believing that such will
be the case. Although achievements
are reported to have been reaching
General Linevitch daily, he Is still nu-
merically inferior, and, unless better
generalship or stronger fighting quail
tiles are shown than in the past, it
would seem that there will be nothing
to do but sound the retreat again.
Oyama is operating to the west, and
there is always the fear that he will
cut the Russian communications. 1t
has not been given out by the Rus
SLAMS whether, they hope to hold their
present ground, or intend to delay the
Japanese advance only in order to get
things in shape in Hardin, and pro-
vide for protecting the line of COM
from that city toward the
west. But their intentions heretofore
do not seem to have cut much figure,
and for some time to come their move
ments will, as in the past, probably be
determined by what Oyama succeeds
in doing.

LONGEST TUNNEL IN WORLD.
Swiss and Italian Trains Meet in
Center.

OcntcFs
Rome.--The Simplon tunnel, the
longest in the world, was inaugurated
Sunday morning, when from the Swiss
and Italian sides the first trains pass
ed through, meeting at the center
where was the iron door which origin
ally prevented the overflow of a tor
rent of hot water, and which was Sun
day opened for the first time.
The weather at the entrance to the
tunnel was springlike, though the
mountains were covered with snow,
but once inside the tunnel the tenn
perature became very high. Engi-
neer Bradau, who had directed the
work in the tunnel, conducted the
Italian train, which, part of the way,
was lighted by miners with lanterns.
The train from the Italian end was
the first to reach the iron door, but a
little later the train from the Swiss
the door.
There was a brief time spent in com
municating through the door by means
OF hammering, and finally the door was
knocked down amid frantic excite
ment, with cries of Long live Switz-
erland," and Long live Italy" Bands
played the Italian royal march and
the Swiss anthem, and the two parties
embraced and kissed each other
Engineer Bradau shook hands with
Engineer RQsemund the director of
the work on the Swiss side, and the
Italian bishop, Noverara, embraced
the Swiss bishop, Sien. The latter then
preached a short sermon, in the course
of which he said:
THE church blessed progress"
In the name of God he then blessed
the tunnel.

CHICAGO Went
DEMOCRATIC

Chicago April ga political tornado
Tuesday overwhelmed one of the most
rugged and unique leaders in the coun-
try. Incidently the republican party
met defeat in a memorable effort to
capture municipality of Chicago. AS
direct result the city is officially
committed to the policy of the quickest
possible acquisition of private fran
chises for public utilities. Municipal
ownership is especially threatening
street car lines valued high up in the
millions.
After winning successfully four re-
markable biennial fights of independ-
ent against the regular republican par
ty, son of Associated Justice Harlan of
the supreme court of the United States,
was loser as republican candidate for
mayor. The defeat is attributed to
an extraordinary whirl of causes,
starting with political revenge and TAX
ing in wide sweep, embracing the
most up to date socialism as a factor.
The Victor is Judge Edward +. Dunno,
democrat.
Seldom, if ever, has Chicago wit
messed more lively, picturesque con-
test.
The republican candidate suffered
heavily from campaign attacks charg-
ing that he was a political assassin
Alleged unworthy leaders of his own
party who had been thrust from office
and power largely through Harlan's
in previous campaigns,
were conspicuously absent from his
support. The result was painfully evil
dent before the baloting had been in
an hour. One of the amusing
features that tonight is recalled as
tending to center good natured feeling
in Judge Dunes behalf is his record as
father. He is the happy parent of
ID children.
Judge DUNES plurality was "a ,24S,
and he received a majority of 945 of
all the votes cast. He also had the
of receiving the greatest
vote ever cast in Chicago for the office
of mayor. He was given 16I, 659 votes
out of total of $685. Mr.. Harlan, |
ihe republican candidate. received 137,-

DUKES FOR PEACE

st. Petersburg, April 5.--A meeting
of all of the members of the grand
ducal circle was held in the palace OF
the Grand Duke Vlsadimir, at which
the car was present and at which the
question of war or peace was thorough
ly discussed.
A majority of those present favored
the beginning of peace negotiations,
but the Grand Duke Vladimir and his
intimate associates stated that in their
opinion it would be far better to con-
tinuethe fighting at least for the pres
emit. This view apparently met the
approval of the ozar, who, in an i'm
passionate speech, declared that he
could not conceive how any Russian
would be willing to abandon the filed
to an army that could yet be conquered.
Another conference is planned for
the near future.
The newspaper Slove, which is usu-
ally inspired by the Grand Duke Alex
ander Michaelovitch, prints an article
in which it sets forth the necessity for
immediate peace in order to give Rus
STA time for the preparation of new
and successful campaign. The news
paper declares that Russia must ulti-
mtaely defeat Japan. retake Port Ar
thur, reestablish her mastery of the
Pacific, and this she can not do except
as the result of new and entirely
fresh Struggle.

STANDARD OIL SALARIES.
Are Comparatively SmaII-RockefelIe
Gets S2O00n


A definite statement has been made
on Wall street that John d. Rockefel
Ter received only $4,000 a year as
president of the Standard Oil com
pany, in which he owns capital stock
to the amount of $4,000 900, and
which has a market value of $24S.OOO..
600. To this statement was added an.
other, that few employees of the Stan
dard Oil company received much more
than $4,000 year.
AS most executives in the company,
however, have grown to be million
aires within the last Is years, it is
supposed the valuable advice they get
for investments and the opportunities
they have of getting in on the ground
hoor of corporations and enterprises
in which the Standard Oil group of
hnanciers figure, have more than com
pensated them for the small salaries
they have received from the economi-
cal administration of the great monop-
oily.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Rockefeller's
small salary, it is said his total income
is between $3S,00O,O0O and $4,000, 900
year.
