been heard to tho westward all day.

October is being fought. Reports are
to the effect that a Russian force has
dressed the Hun river on the Japsnese
left wing. A japanese force advanced
against the Russians, making an attack.
The lighting must be attended with
great suffering from ths cold. A snow.
storm began on Monday, following
long period of remarkable mild
ness. The temperature is below zero, and
the plains are covered with several
inches of snow. Theground is too hard
for rapid trenching.
The London Daily Telegraph's st.
Petersburg correspondent asserts that
General Knropstkin has telegraphed to
the Emperor that his offensive power is
seriously hsmpered by the obstinate re-
luctance OF his troops from the European
provinces to advance against the enemy.
While the Cossacks and Sberians are
full Of dash, the Europeans argue that
now Port Arthur has surrendered there
is no object in continuing the war.
The London Daily Telegraph's Toxic
correspondent says that Japan is making
enormous war preparations. Besides

FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. q, 1905.

THAT THE suppression OF the divorce
is more important than taris'or currency
problems WAS the view expressed by
President Roosevelt yesterday to Bishop
Doane and a committee of the inter
church conference on marriage and
divorce. Bishop Doane delivered brief
address to the President, who replied,
saying in part
Questions. like the tariff and the cur
rency are of literally no consequence
whatsoever compared with the vital
question of having the unit OF our social
life, the home. preserved. II we have
solved every other problem in the wises'
possible way, it shall profit US nothing
IL we have lost our own national soul.
One Of the most unpleasant and danger
Gus features of our American life Is the
diminishing birth rate and the loosenlng
of the marital tie among the old native
American families.
AT various times during the past thirty
or forty years observant men in this
country have viewed with alarm the
conditions referred to BY Mr.. Roosevelt,
while people of other nations which have
been confronted with such issues, have
made crusades against the evil. France
has been battling with them since The
DAYS of the French revolution.

CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA.

st. Petersburg, Jan 27.--The number
of workmen who returned to work was
increased this morning. The absence
of resolute leaders for the strike move
ment has resulted in a state OF confusion
10 the minds OF the workers who are
accustomed to be driven and, as result.
are totally unable TO organize themselves
independently. 1t is learned this morn
ing that nearly half of those who were
wounded in Sundays massacre have
since died at the hospitals. The total
number of dead now exceeds seven hun
dred. 1t appears that the bullets used
by the troops had old cases, and exploded
in the bodies OF the victims, precluding
any possibility of recovery from the
wounds.
The Official Messenger, this morning,
asserts that the strikers ia the city

Libau, Russia, Jan. 2T.-The strikes
spread to the Benner workingmen this
morning. There were some disOrderly
scenes in the streets this morning. but
none of great consequence. The har-
Dor remains quiet.
Government officials expect that the
third Baltic aeet, which is being pre-
pared here for sailing for the far East,
is now nearly ready to sail. They admit
that if the strike spreads to the dock
yards delay in departure of the feet is
inevitable.
Moscow, Jan. 27.-The strike situa-
ton here has taken on more menacing
look. This morning the employees of
nineteen more factories went out. The
men are demanding ten hour day from
Monday to Friday, five hour day on
Saturday, holiday on Sunday, twenty
per cent increase in wages and other
concessions. 1t is understood the strik-
ing of these workmen is not influenced
by any political considerations.
Berlin, Jan. 27.-Unconfrmed tele-

RUSSIAN AFPAIRs.

feeling is decidedly calmer. Several
newspapers have appeared. Governor

Kief and other industrial centers of
Russia, there were yesterday no
serious collisions with strikers, except
in Riga, where a London news agency
reports a collision between troops
and strikers, in which thirty Of

In Moscow some OF the employers are
evincing willingness to make some
concessions to their workmen, but there
has been no general agreement on that
point. In st. Petersburg the return of
workmen has enabled several factories
to resume operations, and the suthori-
ties hope to witness general resumption
there on Monday.
The Russian capital presents almost
normal appearance, aud the authorities
are confident that the backbone of the
strike has been broken. The authorities
expect that the failure Of the strike in
ST. Petersburg will have discoursging
effect upon the workmen in other cities
to which the troubles have been spread
ing, and believe that there is no longer
danger of complete suspension of all
the industrial concerns of Russia.
