sAPrtsrs IN CLOSER UNION.

ST. LOUIS, March l0.-Adyices re
ceived by the local committee In
charge OF arrangements indicate a
keen interest throughout the country
in the general convention OF the Bap-
lists Of North America to be held here
In May. Toe convention will bring
together for the first time all Bap-
tist bodies. The gathering will aim
TO promote fellowship. spirituality
and UNCONVENTIONAL loyalty. Repre-
sentation is to be made up from
for each 100 members, and from local
associations and state conventions.
The Southern Baptist convention and
the Northern Baptist anniversaries
will be held at about the same time,
the former meeting In Kansas City
and the latter in st. Louis. After ad'
journment It is expected that the en-
tire membership of both bodies will
attend the general convention in this
hV "iii b' "'''"'
ed also by representatives OF the ma
tional Babtist convention, the Cana
dian Baptist convention. the Lott
Baptist convention and the Mexican
Baptist convention.
Baptists regard the forming Of q
general convention not only as his
toric. but as certain TO bring the var
ious branches OF the denomination
more closely into touch and harmony
The influence of tine convention will
he advisory only. but It is expected
nevertheless that its deliberationi
and conclusions will have grea
weight. One OF the chief aims sough
Ia to have one authoritative head tha
can speak on great religious and NOR
al questions for all Baptists. Sucl
ofiicial head has not yet been chosen
but 1t IL expected he will be selecte'
at the coming general convention

MORE DISPOSITIONS TAKEN
IN SUIT AGAINST sANTA FE

INDEPENDENCE. Kan, March II.
Further dispositions were taken today
in the suit of the State VS.. the Santa
Fe railroad. John Smith, an oil op-
orator, testified ne mad developed
$50 oil wells. and frequently shipped
drilling material to various parts of
the oil field Discrimination against
drilling supplies, he testified. ranged
between / POO and 1900 per cent, as
compared with other heavy freight.
He introduced two sets Of freight bills
In proof of his assertions. He said
he once paid $115 per hundred to
snip drilling material from Bolton to
Chanute, a distance OF sixty miles
If car of coal had to pay the same
rate it would have cost 3276 TO trans
port II there. The cost OF sending a
drill stem that distance, he said. was
greater than tne value of the article.
Frank Monett. special attorney.
maintains that discrimination in
rates was enforced against drilling
material TO aid the Standard OIL COM
pany In hampering development OF
the field.

believed that one of two things must
happen TO the Russian commander
He must abandon his guns and his
stores and drop everything in the
hope OF preserving remnant OF MS

have to surrender. Expert opinion is
well nigh unanimous that Kuropat-
kin cannot now hope to repeat the
brilliant tactics which enabled him
TO escape a similar enveloping move
ment at Lao Yang There he mad a
wide river TO throw between his pur-
suing enemy and his own force and
at Mukden he has no such advantage
Now he has much larger army to
handle and II is depfoyed over a
mucn greater area Besides, Oyama
now has a force admittedly numeri-
cally superior, far in excess of the
ratio at Lao Yang. and this force ne
is handling with greater skill and
courage, apparently determined not to
let the enemy slip through his fin

JAPANESE SUPERIORITY.

DIR Seaman. who has recently re
turned from the battle fields Of Man.
churia. where he has spent several
months in observing the medical and
surgical service, says;
Japan is the first country in the
enemy In war is not the army OF the
Invader, but foe more treacherous
and dangerous, which is the prevent
able diseases, found lurking In every
camp
He asserts that during the Spanish
war lI00 of our soldiers died of pre-
ventable diseases for every 100 that
were killed in action. In the British
army during the recent war in South
Africa, conditions were even worse,
and more than fourteen died from dAs-
ease. for every one that died by the
hands OF the enemy Similar condi-
tions are prevailing among the Rus
sian troops in Mancnuria, but Dr.
Seaman insists that the Japanese
have practically eliminated disease as
a factor on their side of the war by
sanitary precautions and by the en-
forcement OF rules of hygiene down
to the smallest detail
There is a medical officer with ev.
cry company who teacnes the men
how to cook and what TO cook. how
to eat and what to eat, when to drink
and when to avoid drinking The
medical ofiicera are omnipresent and
they are regarded as the highest au.
tnority. They require the men to
battle and even to clean and pare
their nails. There IL doctor with

The result OF these precautions.
DR. Seaman says, may be found in
the sick reports. Notwithstanding
the terrible exposure. the rains, the
foods and camping on wet ground.
ne saw only three cases Of typhoid
fever in Msnchuria, diseases which
are usually the scourge OF armies IN

diseases.
Very little liz done In the field hos
pltals No operations are performed,
except In cases OF extreme emergency
or where nemorrhage threatens
death; but the wounded are sent 10
the seacoast and hurried across to
the permanent hospitals In western
Japan. Hospital steamers are always
in waiting. and the medical corps is
so thoroughly organized that the
wounded are seldom more tnan three
Or four days In reaching the hospitals.
The hospital treatment has been
equally successful, and DIR. Seaman
reports that out Of 1852 patients who
were cared for in hospital at Hro-
shima, only thirtyfour died.
