land to the Russians in fee simple, at
a low rate. The tract of land which
the Russians want is valuable land and
it is said that a lease system instead
of an absolute title may be favored.
According to testimony produced be-
fore the appraisers 1T is stated, the
land Is of far greater value than the
IS per acre which is understood to be
the price the Russians are willing to
pay. Under the scheme of giving them
the land at SIS per acre, they would be
able in few years to sell it out for
hundred and fifty or more per acre
and they might thus become specu-
lators rather than settlers.

oYAMA CEASES CAMPAIGN
News From Manchuria Indicates Se
Has Suspended Operations.

st. Petersburg, May 2S.-The news
from Manchuria indicates that Field
Marshal Oyamas offensive has come
20 halt. The transport service be-
tween Japan and the mainland of
Manchuria is believed to have been
suspended. Although the Japanese
accumulated reinforcements and large
quantities of supplies on the MAINLAND
since Admiral Roiestvensky appeared
in Chinese waters, the dictates of
prudence or the decision of Admiral
Togo against the ACCESSIBILITY Of ac-
cepting an open battle with Rojest-
vensky may have induced a change
in Oyama's plans. The correspondents
of The Associated Press at the Rus
sian headquarters confirms the thee
ry of change in the Japanese plans.
He. telegraphs the Japanese are re-
firing at the slightest pressure on
their right or center and are shift
ing eastward seemingly with Kuroki
developing turning movement
against General Linevitch's left for
the purpose of screening General
Kawamura's army, which is reported
to be still farther east, presumably
ready to march on Vladivostok. The
Japanese movements, however, APP
parently are waiting the result of the
sea fight. The correspondent also
says the eyes of the whole Russian
army are centered on Rojestvensky.

ing attempt of the japanese May %
to cut the railroad and blow up the
bridge over tributary to the Tung.
lao, 20 miles south of the Russian
main line from Kuanchengtsu to Kirin,
which are now connected by field
railroad, bears a striking resemblance
to the blowing up of the bridge over
the Kainskair river, 100 miles north
of Mukden by Major Nanganuma. of
the Jaranese army, just before Field
Marshall Oyama undertook the adj
vance against Gen. Kuropatkin at
Mukden. Another parallel of the raid

around the Japanese left south of Fa-

ed as Absurd.
st. Petersburg, May 25.-The au-
thorities here have no confirmation OF
the report telegraphed from TOXIC to
the London Daily Telegraph, to the
effect that the Japanese have cut
the railroads to Vladivostok and iso-
lated that fortress. The director OF
telegraphs informed the Association
Press yesterday that there are two
lines to Vladivostok, one direct by
way of Khabarovsk, Siberia. and the
other via Hardin. The former IS
working and no interruption Of the
latter had been reported this morning
from Hardin whence messages are
constantly arriving. Inquiries on the
subject have been dispatched to Har-
bin The war Offices has no news of
the railroad being cut and the idea
that the fortress is cut off on the
land side is absurd though it is al
ways possible that a small raiding
party might reach the railroad and
temporarily damage it. 1t is consid-
cred impossible, however, that a JAP
anese force Of sufficient strength to
mold the railroad could have passed
through the RUSSIAN ShlrmlSn lines
which keep in touch for the entire
distance between General Linevitch's
army and the division along the Tu-
men river.
Later in the day replies were re.
ceived from Hardin saying that both
the railroad and the telegraph lines
to Vladivostok were working and the
Associated Press was authorized to
deny the report of the fortress iso-
lation.

ANTICIPATES A NAVAL BATTLE.

st. Petersburg, May 26.-Admiral
Avellan, head of the Russian admiral
ty department, confirms The Asso-
.ciated Press dispatches saying Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky is steaming
north to give battle to Admiral Togo
He considers it possible that news
that the two fleets have met may be
received any day.
In an interesting interview Admiral
Avellan reaffirms the official denial
of the reports that Admiral Rojest-
vensky has broken down and asked
to be relieved Avellan says Rojest-
vensky sent detailed reports of the
condition of his own health, and of
the health of the crews of his ships
The constant tension and hard work
of the past months have been great
strain on the admirals health.
Even before he left" said Avel-
Ian, "Rojestvensky was sufferer
from kidney trouble, but his health
is no worse. His reports breathe
spirit of strength, resoluteness and
confidence, and other reports show
he has inspired his crews with the
confidence of their commander. AS
matter of fact, it is not Rojestven-
sky, but Vice Admiral Voelkersam,
who has suffered from the long stay
in the tropics"

BUILDERS AGAINST STRIKE.
Chicago Building Trades Decide Not
to Participate.

Chicago, May 27.-At meeting Of
the associated building trades last
night, at which twenty-nine trades
affiliated with the building industries
were represented, 1t was decided that
10 action will be taken which will
tend to drag them into the steamsters'
strike. This action on the part or
the builders trades will go far to-
ward restricting the strike TO its pres
ent limits as it means that the mem
bers of the building trades unions will
work with materials regardless OF
the fact that they are hauled in
wagons driven by nonunion men.
Chicago, May 27.-Rioting broke
out afresh in the teamsters' strike
and although nobody was seriously
hurt there were number OF vicious
fights in the lumber district, during
which the police were compelled to
use their clubs, and in one case re-
volvers in order to disperse the mob.
, A serious fight took place at the cor
ner of Canal and Madison streets, adj
joining the passenger depot of the
Pennsylvania. The wagon OF an ex-
press company, although protected
by policeman, and deputy sheriff,
was attacked by large crowd despite
the fact that 1t bore on each side
large placard declaring that all peo-
pie had been enjoined from interior
ing with the wagon by the federal
court. The policeman displayed his
revolver but the crowd, paying no at
tention to him rushed at the wagon,
and seizing the wheels, attempted to
overturn it.
A riot call brought from the Des
PLANES street police station four
squares distant, large force of Off
GERS, who dispersed the crowd and
arrested about forty of the most ac-
tive in the disturbance.
The worst of the fighting in the
lumber district occurred at Twenty
second street and Ashland avenue,
where a crowd of men and boys had
all through the morning hurled stones
and clubs at every passing lumber
wagon. Finally wagon on which
Police Officer Bagenski was a passen-
ger came along and the mob greeted
it with the usual volley of stones.
They also threatened to attack the
driver and the situation was SO
serious that the officer, drawing his
revolver, fred six shots at the crowd,
which broke and fled in wild confusion.
None of the bullets hit anybody

RUSSIA is ANXIOUS.
To Learn Authentic News of Fate of
RoiestYenskY.


st. Petersburg, May 29.-ln this mo.
mentous hour the emperor, the admir-
atty and the Russian public are wait
ing breathlessly for the Jaranese to
furnish authentic news of the fate OF
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky and his
feet in which the hopes of the Rus
SLAMS are conferred The official dis
position is to construe Toko's silence
favorably, but at the came time the
stragetic reason for such silence is
recognized.
The public. altering the premature
jubilation of Saturday night, is in
clined to reverse its attitude and to
become pessimistic.
The report sent to Washington by
the American consul at Nagasaki of
the sinking of five Russian warships,
including a battleship, and repair
ship, was accepted as the most definite
and the most authentic piece of news
received up to midnight, and I'M
doubtedly produced bad impression.
The fear was expressed that the bat
tleship sunk might have been Rojest
vensky's flagship, the Kniaz Souvar
off, on which the Japanese would I'M
doubtedly concentrate their fire. The
sinking of the repair ship Kamchatka
which was filed with the most mod.
ern machinery, might, it was thought
prove later to be more severe loss
than that of warship, but at the adj
riralty, where crowds congregated
Sunday afternoon and evening, the
opinion was expressed that if Rojet.
vensky had cleared the gateway to
the sea of Japan with no greater loss
than that reported by the American
CONSUL the passage had not been
dearly purchased, especially if later
reports should prove that the Japanese
losses were of anything like equal
proportions.

CURBS ZEMSTVOS.
Prevent Debates on Change of Gov
eminent

CTTlTlGHI.
st. Petersburg. May 25.-The gov
eminent has now taken formal meas
ures to prevent the Zemstvos, Dou-
mas and other provincial and dis
trict institutions from indulging in I'M
restricted debate and adopting reso-
lutions on the subject of change in
the form of government.
Interior Minister Boulign has issued
a circular declaring that such discus
sions do not come within the scope
of the imperial ukase issued March 8,
granting the people freedom to pc
tition the emperor through the COM
mittee of ministers on all matters re-
lating to their general welfare.
The ruling in effect is that this priv
ilege only applies to the people as in
dividuals and that organized institu-
tons must confine themselves to
questions within their competency.
The duty of enforcing this inhibition
is imposed on the presiding officer
who will be amenable to prosecution
for permitting infractions. The cir
cular was plainly desired to put an
end to the political agitation which
has been openly in progress in the
Zemstvos and Doumas throughout
the empire.
