London. THE advance OF the Rus

Austrian army under General Boerov-
itch in two places. The eastern wing
OF this army is in precarious posi-

Smolink, east OF Lupkow Pass.
The Rpssians also have thrown back
the Austrians In the district OF Bartfeid

advanced through the Rostock pass they
have forced a wedge between the Aus
trian armies
Smolnik controls the only road through
the Beskld mountains between Mezoia-
borcz and Uzsok. a distance OF slxty
miles.
The western wing OF the Austrian army
has its base at Gummenoe and its com
municatlons along the roads into Hun
gary are quite safe. The eastern ring TO
the contrary is Joined with the forces
operating around Uzsok. twenty miles

II Is regarded as likely that the Aus
trians VIII be compelled to transfer their
base at Uszok in the direction OF Mum
kacs. or else accept battle at Uszok, hand
dicapped by the lack OF roads.
In either case the -Austrians win find
themselves cut off from the main army

LINCOLN, April Especial. -
Today was the last day of the Ne
braska legislature and the old-time
ruse Of stopping the clock was re-
sorted to this evening.
The big appropriation bills are
still unpassed by the senate, and
other important bills are before both
bodies, so it is probable that even
Saturday night will find the work
still unfinished and portion Of next
week will have to be used in closing
up The time for the real adjourn
ment is SO far away that already
some of the members feel that II the
time for adjournment can be legally

do so.

This was the eleventh day that house
members have been working without pay
and the ninth that the senators have
had to pay their own expenses. This
equals the number OF days in the house
last session, and is one short in the SEN
ate. At that session. the Legislature ran
a week after II, had stopped legally.
Members who recently signed an agree
ment to hang on until adjournment. are
now saying that they meant the official
adjournment and that It does not hold
them to an indefinite period, so it Is
likely that, Saturday night. many will
leave
some bills saved.
The impotence OF the members to get
home was reflected in a motion offered
in the house by Messrs Reuter- and Tib-
bets just before noon. that all bills not
reported out by the sitting committee
by o'clock in the afternoon should be
indefinitely postponed. Several members
interested in bills however. objected 10
this. and the motion was amended to
apply only to bills left in the hands OF
standing committees at the time specI-
fled. In that form 1t was adopted.
