feat inflicted upon them in western
Galicia by the Austrians and Germans
by badly beating the Turks who had
invaded Persia. The defeat took
place in three days battle near the
frontier and Petrograd reports thu
the Russians inflicted heavy losses
on the Ottomans. If the success of
the Muscoyites has been followed up,
military observers declare that Per-
sa now should be free of her un.
invited guests.
This battle, however, was small
affair when compared with what Ger
many and Austria claim they have
done to the Russians in Galicia. Their
reports Tuesday night state that some
thirty thousand Russians were cap.
tured and that a large number of
guns were taken. There was no men
ton, however, of any towns such as
Gorlice and Tarnow, which were
close to the front, being captured,
which leads the British military crit
les to the conclusion that while the
Germanic allies have won important
local successes they have not driven
the Russians very far back. Should
they succeed in doing this, however,
it is asserted that general retreat of
the Russians would be imperative and
that the whole Carpathian offensive.
on which the Muscovites have spent
so much time, and so many lives,
would be completely nullifed.
The Russian side of the story is
anXiously awaited, for a big success
in the east, it is believed here, would
mean an immediate commencement
of operations on a large scale in
the west, for which the Germans
already are making preparations.

PekIN BEING QUIETLY PLACED
IN READINESS TO RESIST ANY
JAPANESE ATTACK.
FEW KNOW OF It
Only the Educated and Upper Class
Chinese Know of Preparations BEING
Made - Japanese Fleet Arrives in
Gulf 100 Miles From Pekn.

Pekin, May 5.-The fact that
preparations are being made to de
fend this city against a possible Jap
anese attack is being kept secret
from the people here. Only the edu.
Gated upper classes know of these
facts.
1t is reported that the Chinese re-
gard the situation so seriously that
in some of the southern Chinese cit
les, several men and one woman have
committed suicide, declaring that
they did not wish to live to see
China subiugated."
A japanese cruiser and four de
stroyers have arrived in gulf about
120 miles east of Pekin, evidently to
remove from China the members of
the japanese legation if necessary.
Consular reports from all parts of
China announce the departure of the
Japanese, or their concentration at
Japanese consulates.
Many persons here believe that
Japan may act upon Chinas refusal to
accept her demands, without await
ing a. ultimatum.

R { { III AR
SESSION Of
C|TYCOUNC|L
ORDINANCE PASSED lNCORPO-
RATING A CERTAIN DISTRICT
SOUTHEAST OF THE PRESENT
LIMITS.

At the regular meeting OF the city
council last night an ordinance was
passed incorporating a certain tract
of land southeast of the present city
The passage of this ordinance pro-
voked considerable oratory from the
new members of the board, and when
it came to a vote, one member cast
has ballot unequivocally against its
admission. The legal notice of the
intention of Incorporating this section
had been given according to law, and
no protest was registered against it
until last night, when Rev. W. T.
Freeman and Rev. J. n. Moore APP
peared before the commissioners and
registered "A vigorous protest against
the admission of this territory.
The mayor asked them to present
a better solution of the problem and
the gist of their answer was that it
was better to get rid of them alto
gether, as the county had gone on
record that it cannot run longer out
side the city limits. and if the city
would prevent them from running
inside, they would of necessity have
to seek other localities.
Commissioner London stated that he
was opposed to the admission of this
territory when the subject was first
broached, but, since investigating the
matter thoroughly, and talking with
citizens, he was convinced that the
best way at present was to do their
best to curb the evil, and the only
way the city could do so was to have
them where they could be under po-
lice supervision Mr.. London stated
that he realized that it was a hard
matter to regulate this evil, but the
best way the city could do it at
present was to have them where they
could be watched. In casting his vote
for admission of this district, he
stated that he was doing what he
thought best for the best interests of
all the citizens of the city, that
condition, and not a theory. con-
fronted them, and he was as anxious
as any one for the best solution of it. |
Commissioner Hoard stated that he
was unalterably opposed to the ad-
of this district for the simple |
reason that he did not believe in
winking at crime in any manner He
stated that if the city admitted these !
law violators. 1t must |
keep faith with them, and grant them /
protection, as he was not in favor of
protection to any form of
law violators the commissioner sta
ted that he was against the admis-
sion of the territory named.
Commissioner Dewitt stated that in
this territory to the city
ne believed it would be better than
prevailing conditions, as then this
class could and would be segregated
o themselves and be placed where
he police could watch them.
Mr.. Dewitt cited instances Of other
titles where conditions such as these
and that the city authori-
les were agreed that the best and {
only solution to the problem was TO
iegregate and police the district thor
,ughly.
Commissioner Hunt had nothing to
Jay in the matter. but the mayor
tated in few words why he was
n favor OF the passage OF the ordi-
