The Government's Prestige With the [ Lower Classes Staked Upon the Holding of Port Arthur?Preparing i to Cope With a Chinese Invasion of Manchuria. . i London. By Cable.?That the curtain i !b drawn again over the progress of the i war problem indicates that important ! events are impending or afoot. The explosions heard at Port Arthur suggest that- the Russians have renewed their attempts to remove obstructions in the mouth of the harbor. All kinds of rumors are current, few of which appear ' to have any reliable basis. Various special correspondents in St. Petersburg report increasing depression in Russia over the prospect of the fall i of Port Arthur and say that wild reports are in circulation of dissensions | over questions of policy and strategy, j The Daily Mail gives great promi- i nence to a statement "from a Russian j correspondent" declaring that Russia will stand or fall by Port Arthur as far as the government's prestige with the ! lower classes is concerned. "Internal troubles are .inevitable," the correspondent says, "should the fortress fall. Count Lam6dorff displays a strong personality, but his position lc. precarious, and he is likely to be sac- | rlficed as a scapegoat to popular indignation at the way the war has been conducted. Although it is said that General Kuropatkin has lost favor at ' court, no change in the commandership of the army is contemplated." The St. Petersburg correspondent of j1 Reuter's Telegraph Agency says that Increasing anxiety is felt over the restlessness of Chinese troops on the Manchurian frontier. The Morning Post's 1 correspondent in St. Petersburg goes 1 so far as to say that Russia is prepar- ( log to cope with a serious Chinese in- < asion. A dispatch to the Standard from St. j Petersburg asserts that no preparations whatever have been made to organize a i transport service down the great wa- ; terways of the Sungari and Amur rivers. Great indignation is felt over i the dicoverey that several wealthy Rus- . sian firms "secretly assisted in the re- ] cent Japanese loan." A dispatch to the Morning Post from 1 Shanghai says that some of the war ships at Port Arthur have been beached < and their guns removed to the land works. The Shanghai correspondent ( also says that Field Marshall Yamagata J has been appointed viceroy of the ter- ( ritories Japan has occupied since the i war began. This is the only reference j this morning to the statement of the ( Daily Express Saturday morning that l Field Marshal Yamagata had been ap- < pointed commander-in-chief of the Jap- J anese army of invasion. The Stanrad's Tien Tsin correspond- | ent reports that the Russian forces are ] being withdrawn gradually northward, ' the Russians being aware that a strong ( force of Japanese is gathering in the ' passes northeast of Mukden. < Two Encounters Reported. ] Tokio, By Cable.?The Japanese and ? Russian forces located north of Pulan- 1 tine, which were in a series of brushes during th eearly part of last week, had ] Parker Leads in Texas.

Y., Special.?At the ! 108th commencement exercises of | ' Union College. President A. V. Ray- j ' mond, in his baccalaureate sermon.; i referred to the growth of corporations I i and their legislative influence. He | said: "Starting as are the revela- ] i tions made by Mr. Steffens, for in-: < stance, we cannot discredit the evi-1 < dence which he places in detail before , us. When to these we add the facts which come within our own observa- ' ticn, we are forced to believe that j the government of the people by the j ( people and for the people, for which j the fathers fought, is today more of ( a theory than a reality." Washouts in the North. Elmira, N. Y., Special.?There were ] numerous washouts and landslides on the Northern Central Railroad, be- ( tween Elmira and Williamsport, Pa., last night, and the whole division has 1 been inoperative for the past twenty- i four hours. The washouts between ( Gilets and Tory, Pa., were the worst. Two of these washouts were ten feet in depth and forty feet long. There ? were a half dozen other washouts and J landslides in a distance of ten miles l between Gillets and Troy. ? O SliSS IS FELT j idicate a Considerable pprehension 1EKELD AT ANY COST another encounter on Friday, June 3rd, near Chu Cbia Tun. On that day the Japanese cavalrymen met the Russians ut noon. The Russians numbered 2,000 men and were composed of infantry, detachments of cavalry and artillery. They were pressing the Japanese cavalry, when the Japanese assembled their entire force and engaged the enemy. The Russians drew off gradually, and at half-past 5 in the afternoon they retired. The Japanese suffered four men killed and four wounded in this fighting. A report has been received from General Kuroki, saying that on Friday last a detachment was dispatched from Ai-Yung Cheng (Ai Yang Pienmen?) to the east of Feng Wang Cheng to make t a reconnaissance toward Chaimatsi J (Simatsi?) 35 miles north of Feng Wang Cheng. This detachment encountered 600 Cossacks, and after a brisk engagement the Russians retreated. General Kurokl reported that the Russian loss was heavy. The Japanese suffered only one man killed and three wounded. Armies Within Two Miles. Chee Foo, By Cable.?But two miles separated Japanese and Russ^n armies on the Liao Tung peninsula on June 2nd. according to Chinese who have arrived here from Dalny. The Japanese army, re-enforced by the men who landed at Dalny, occupied Twing Ching and also Sanchirapo, several miles west of Danly. They then proceeded along the coast toward Port Arthur. On one side or the army are high mountains, and on the other side is the sea. from which the Japanese gunboats are supporting the flank of the army. On June 2nd the Japanese forces were within several miles of the outer forts of Port Arthur, only two miles from the Russian army, which is ready to. protest their further advance. The Chinese believed that there would be a big battle at this point. It is also stated by the Chinese that the Japanese have moved their base to Dalny from Talien Wan. The larger Japanese ships are anchored outside, the smaller ones inside the harbor. Troops are being landed, they say, from small vessels. apparently coming from Pitsewo cr the Elliott Islands. The Chinese further reported that a number of Chinese have been shot ...1.21 4/\ ffftf V* row oVl tho Willi tttllCIUjHlUg IV/ 5CC luiwuftu vuv Russian lines. Trying to Influence Natives. New Chwang, By Cable.?Carrier pigeons arrived here Sunday at noon from Gen. Stoessel, at Port Arthur. The Russians will not divulge the messages carried by their birds, but declare they contain good information. They are very cheerful since the pigsons arrived. An Associated Press messenger from the north reports that the magistrates pf Hai Cheng and Liao Yang were arrested recently by the Russians, and :harged with furnishing supplies and information to the enemy. They were taken to Mukden, but were released after an interval. Influential natives de:!are that the arrests were made, not because the Russians believed they rould prove the charges, but because the magistrates were nen-committal, *nd refused to aid either side. The Russians are printing a newspaper in Chinese at Mukden for the purpose of influencing the natives. The latest copy received at New Chwang says that the Japanese attempted to loat a second loan in America for |3,f50,000, but that it was coldly rejected. Dther contents of the paper explained :hat the Russian loss in the Yalu bat,Ie was. due to the preponderance of fapanese cavalry, and says also that ;he Russians will soon dictate peace :erms in Tokio, and that the leading lapanese statesmen will be reduced to ttickshae coolies.

TROOPS SENT DAILY Many Armed Men Beinj; Sent to the Scene of Hostilities RUSSIANS BECOMING STRONGER* No Definite Information, However, Showing That the Russians Are Ready to Meet the Japanese. St. Petersburg, By Cable.?The best informed circles attach no importance to the reports that Gen. Kuropatkin has detached a large force from his army at Liao Yang and dispatched it southward to relieve Port Arthur, and- it is distinctly denied that Emperor Nicholas personally ordered such a movement It can be authoritatively stated that the Emperor's confidence in Kuropatkin is unshaken and his majesty is not attempting to interfere with his plan of campaign. While no such army has been dispatched southward, it is natural that Kuropatkin will do all possible to harass General Oku's rear. The railroads have been kept open as far as Vafangow, 25 miles above Kin Chou. and it is not unlikely, since the Japanese have failed to push through a line across the head of the Liao Tung peninsula, that several thousand Russian troops may be sent down the railroad to impede the Japanese operations and inflict as much damage as possible/ as these could be easily withdrawn by railroad if the eneipy threatened to cut the line of communication above. Even the loss of a few regiments would be considered cheap if the Japanese operations against Port Arthur were thereby retarded for an appreciable time. However, it is realized that with the Japanese occupation of Port Dalny and Talien-Wan as bases for landing: siege guns, the small force above Kin Chou could accomplish but little,\and it is now more likely to be withdrawn,, destroying the railroad as it retires northward. For strategic purposes Kuropatkin may be trying to make the Japanese believe that a - " 1 movement southward is contemplated, in order to divert Kurokis' attention in that direction. The impression is being thrown out in certain quarters hers that Kuropatkin is about to take the offensive and that an engagement with Kuroki is imminent. But, so far as can be ascertained, there is no solid foundation for this. It is unquestionable, however, that the railroad Is pouring troops into Manchuria at the rate of almost 2,500 a day and it will not be long at the present rate before the Russian commander-in-chief will , be at least on equal terms with any force the enemy can bring against him. The general staff Is keeping very dark about the whereabouts and purposes of the Cossacks reported to be working around Kuroki's rear, and the number of raiders operating in Korea. Japs Occupy Dalny. Washington, Special.?The Japanese legation gave out the following dispatch from the home government at I'okio, embodying a report from Gfn.. Oku as follows: "Gen.
