Today's Photographic News
Another Battle Imminent.

st. Petersburg, March 24.-The
situation in Msnchuria is once more
reatening and il is probable that news
OF another battle will be received within
a very few days. /. is reported that the
Car has directed General Linevitch to
make stand at the Sungari river. and
to fight there to the last. As the Jap
anese are known to be close on the heels
OF the Russians, this probably means
that the two armies will soon be Joined
in battle. There are several reasons
which are understood to have impelled
the Car TO give these directions for
making a stand to General Linieyitch.
The strongest argument in favor of
the plan is that even if the Russian
army succeeds in getting to Hardin
in safety, it will not be in posi-
ton to offer very effective resist
ance at that point. While the defenses
might be strong enough to resist an
immediate Japanese attack, General
Linevitch would be undsr the necessity
of providing strong guards to prevent
the cutting of the railroad. ANY lengthy
stay at Hardin is regarded as being out
OF the question under the circumstances.
the further retirement into Siberia would
be needed. The position along the
Sungari river offers excellent advantages
for making a stand. The natural de-
lenses give the Russians an advantage.
The fact that the river has few fords
will hamper japanese asnkiDg move.
ments. There is another reason which
may have had great deal Of weight 10
influencing the reported action of
the Car. This is the fact that the
japanese have pushed their advantage
more rapidly than the Russians at first
thought it would be possible for the
enemy to do.
Your correspondent has been informed
that late reports from the army show
that the situation Is menacing. The
japanese have penetrated far into the
country, and it is reported have already
begun the turning movement on the

declare that unless 200, reinforce

SECRETARY SHAW and Senator, ALI
son were in New York yesterday and
are reported to have consulted republic
can authorities regarding the revision OF
the tariff. But the republican party got
along so we'll 10 the late election on a
"stand pat platform, and the demands
for tariff revision which were uttered as
soon as the result of the election was
known were so summarily suppressed in
Congress, that it is hard to believe that
the leaders have any notion of meddling
with dangerous subject. The Phila-
delphia Record suggests that if Messrs.
Shaw and Allison are really studying
the matter of tariff revision they consult
the Union League Club. stalwart re-
publican and prOtectionist organization,
which early last winter adopted certain
resolutions on this subject to which suf-
ficient attention has not been directed,
and adds
The preamble to the resolution adopted
by this club recited that "many manu-
facturers are now so strongly established
that unfair or harmful competition is
no longer to be apprehended." 1t re-
ferred to rumors that there are such
things as trusts that can maintain prices
at level OF the foreign price plus the
amount of the duty, as result of which
CONSUMERS may thus be forced to pay
for articles of necessity prices not only
largely in excess of those which can be
obtained under conditions Of open COM
petition, but prices greatly higher than
domestic manufacturers are willing to
accept from foreign buyers" For these
and other reasons the club resolved that
'lhe enactment of remedial legislation
is high and immediate duty of the
republican party" But will it pay any
attention to a high and immediate duty
that some of its largest contributors will
look upon as a hostile act?

Experiments with Life.

Prof Jacques Loeb, at San Francisco,
has discovered in producing artificial
life by fertiIizing the eggs of the sea ur-
chin that they were best fertilized by the
use of acetic acid of vinegar or formic
acid followed by common salts.
Large numbers of sea urchin larvae,
normal and healthy, can be produced
from eggs by purely chemical and
physical means. Many students of
heredity have long been looking for
means of raising animals in large enough
numbers for experiments which should
possess the hereditary characters Of one
parent only.
Detailed comparisons of such indi-
yiduals with those which derive their
characters from both parents will lead to-
results in the field of heredity of far
reaching importance.
