tween Liao-yang and Mukden has given rise to speculation as to the {ng ossibllit anes wer of the Japanese surround Kuropatkin and his army. It is rumored that the general himself has withdrawn to Mukden. SEOUL'S VIEW ZJao-yang Expected to Be the First Great Battle. Ahtung, May 10, via Seoul, May 16. The concentration of the Russian forces at Liao-yang will make that place the first line of defense and the first great battle will probably be fought there. No important aggres sive action by this army is expected In the near future. Since the Russian fleet at Port Ar thur has been bottled up, the Japan ese find it possible to use this port as a base and to abandon most of the land transportation thru Korea, using the regular army transport equipment for conveying munitions from Antung to the front. The Chinese do not ob ject to Japanese occupation, because the newcomers give employment to thousands at good wages and furnish a market for provisions at Inflated prices. Many Japanese shopkeepers are already established here. The river has not yet been opened to for eign commerce. The correspondents who remain at headquarters visited the Russian wounded, who expressed satisfaction at their treatment. Their only com plaint was that they received no bread, the Japanese army not being provided with stores of that kind. THE CAPTURED POL ES Polescaptured Japanese Took Warsaw Troops in the Yalu Fight.

Shanghai, May 17.Natives from fr6m Port Arthur state that the Jap anese are vigorous besieging that place day and night by land and sea. The Russian troops are leaving Balny and the troops in Port Arthur are reported to be dissatisfied and willing to surrender. Sixty Japanese transports have been sighted in Deep Bay near Dalny and heavy firing has been heard in Kin chau Bay. The Russian officers at Mukden have compelled the Chinese there to disarm altho the Tartar general pro tested against such action. NIU-CHUANG EVACUATED The Russians Left the City This Even- ingThe Japanese Advance. Niu-chuang, May 17(Night)The Russian evacuation of this city has been completed. Nothing remains but the destruction of the gunboat Sivouch, which it is expected will take place early in the morning. The Russian troops marched out in {eaving erfec order. General Kondratsvitch with the last regiment. The Assopiated Press correspondent has received exclusive information from the highest Russian authority that the Japanese advance will be re sisted at Hai-chang, whence the Rus sian forces will fall back upon Liao Tano- where they will make a de-^ termined stand with a fighting strength there available ^of 70,000 men. If defeated no stop will be made at Mukden but the retirement will be continued to Thie-ling, a town at the head of navigation for native craft on the Liao river, 400fmiles north of Ni'u chuang. At the same time the Cos sack regiments will be employed in the rear of the Japanese army on the Yalu, harassing the troops and in terfering with its communications. It is not believed that the Japanese will move into the interior until they have thoroly established their base here, re peating their movement which they made during the war with China. The Russians admit the advance of the Japanese army to a point within fifteen miles of Hai-cheng, many of their wounded entering there. The nearest fighting expected before the Japanese reach Niu-chuang will be at Tashi-chio, but it will not amount to much. This city is now guarded by 300 Chi nese police and everything is quiet. The Japanese force at Kai-chau is reported 20,000 strong. E CARRIES A COFFIN General Kuropatkin Had a Dre am That Would Not Return. Baltimore, Md., May 17.Possessed with the firm belief that he would be killed in battle during the war in the far east, General Kuropatkin, com mander of the Russian forces in Man churia, is carrying his coffin with him. This Information is contained in a letter received by Adam Bantro,' edi tor of a Polish newspaper here, from Brunslau Kabylanski, who returned to Russia some time ago and was im pressed in the Russian army.

Some months ago General Kuropat kin had a dream that he was killed in a battle and that his body was so badly mangled that he was not identi fied and he was buried in a pit with the common soldiers. This dream was so vivid he told his friends he would not return. The coffin accom paniment to headquarters, the writer says, has a disheartening effect on the troops, but nothing can change the general's mind. VIEWS O ST. PETERSBURG What They Think the Plans of the Ene my May Be. St. Petersburg, May 171:50 p. m. The probability that there will be no further communication with Port Ar thur, thus preventing Vice Admiral Skrydloff from assuming command of the Russian squadron, there has led to the suggestion that Skrydloff return from the far east and hoist his flag as commander of the Baltic squadron. The report that Vladivostok is blockaded is denied at the admiralty. Telegrams received from Rear Ad miral Jessen do not refer to the presence of a single Japanese ship. Kuropatkin's Plans.

As further showing that Kuropat kin never had any intention to at tempt to stop the northward advance of the Japanese, a railroad engineer who has just arrived here from the far east was quoted to-day as saying that when he talked with the commander in-chief in February, the latter wanted an additional line built in the rear of the Manchurian army, so as to en able it to fall back and subsequently advance. The engineer added: "Kuropatkin said he hoped to ad vance at the end of June, or, in case the rains interfered, at the end of Au gust.

London, May 17.The Morning Leader correspondent at Kobe cables that the hills around Matsuyama har bor were black with people to witness the landing of the first considerable batch of Russian prisoners on Japan ese soil since the outbreak of the war. These consisted of seventeen officers and 419 men, some of them wounded from the terrible battle of Kiu-lien chang. As they landed from the steamer, every available inch of stand ing room on the shore and the slopes was occupied, Japanese flags floating from several points. But not a single cry of triumph was heard. The vie-? tors received their captives in respect ful silence. Still Removing the Mines. Tokio, May 17, (10:30 a. m.)Ad- miral Kataoka reports that on the 16th the operation of removing the mines in Kerr bay was continued by the torpedo boats under protection of a bombardment by the fleet. There is no change in the enemy's defense, ex cept the addition of two or three field guns to their position which had the effect of interrupting the work of clearing the bay of the mines. Never theless, the Japanese destroyed eight mines. But there are many more left and the work will be continued. Japs Land at Kai-chau.

Quincy, Mass., May 17.The battle ship Rhode Island was successfully launched to-day at the yards of the Fore River Ship and Engine company. After leaving the ways, the great craft attained such headway that she could not be stopped in deep water, and, her anchor failing to hold, her stern was forced into a mud bank. Three tugs made fast to her, but the tide fell rapidly and they were unable to move her. The company sent to Boston for additional tugs and it was expected the battleship would be re leased before the next flood tide. A naval inspector said that as the bottom was soft the ship would not be damaged. The Rhode Island is one of five battleships for which congress has made appropriations and represents the most powerful class of warships. Her general dimensions and chief characteristics are: Length on load water line, 435 feet. Breadth, extreme, at load water line, 76 feet, 2% inches. Trial displacement, about 14,048 tons. Mean draft at trial displacement, about 23 feet 9 inches. Greatest draft, full load, about 26 feet. The 16,000-ton battleship will have a speed of at least nineteen knots. She will have twin-screws driven by two four-cylinder, triple-expansion en gines of about 19,000 indicated horse power, haVing a stroke of four feet, running, under conditions of maximum speed, at about 120 revolutions per minute. _, Steam will be supplied at a pres sure of 250 pounds per square inch, by twenty-four Niclausse water tube boilers. The Rhode Island will carry four 12-inch guns, eight 8-inch guns, twelve 6-inch rapid-fire guns, twelve 3-inch, fifty-caliber, rapid-fire guns, twelve 3- powder, semi-automatic, eight 1-pow- der, heavy automatic, two thirty-cal iber machine guns and six thirty-cal iber Colt automatic guns. She will also be fitted with submerged tor pedo tubes. The magazines will be specially fitted to enable her to carry, with ab solute safety in all climates, the new smokeless powder. She will be provided with a com plete waterline belt of armor, 8 feet in width amidship, 11 inches thick at the top, and 8 inches at the bottom, tapering to a uniform thickness of 4 inches at the ends of the vessel. She will also have a casemate ar mored belt extending over about 245 feet of her length, of a uniform thick ness of 6 inches. MR. PARRY O N LABOR PROBLEM Continued from First Page. Who owns this productive capital is really quite Immaterial. 'Ihe material point Is that It be in creased, and no system could be devised that will more surely result In Its being increased than that of individual ownership. Another way to increase the per capita production is thru educa tion and training of the individual to the end that he may become more efficient as a wealth producer. Hence the need for industrial schools. Wages cannot be raised, metaphorically speak ing, either at the point of a gun, by legislation, by the decisions of. arbitration courts or by the mandates of labor unions. The cause of labor Is not to be advanced by physical strife, by the monopolization of employment by unions, by re stricting the number of apprentices, by striving to bring about socialism, anarchy and the confis cation of wealth, by seeking arbitrarily to limit the hours of labor and to fix wages despite the operation of laws that are beyond the power of men to alter, or by other devices or efforts on the part of organized labor which tend to reduce the per capita production, to put life and proper ty in jeopardy and to destroy individual enter prise .and American freedom. It is to the.self interest of every right mean ing American" citizen to fight for those vital principlers oft this the his government that hav made mos prosperous and progressivee nation in the -world's history. The Closed Shop. Speaking of the closed shop Mr. Parry said: The closed shop is against public policy and 1B of doubtful legality. The liberty of the indi vidual would be impossible if he is debarred from the right to contract for his services be cause he does not belong to a union. I believe that this truth will become generally recog nized and that the day must come when no Indus try will be allowed to run on the closed shop plan. Any set of men have a right to contract In a collective capacity for the sale of their labor, but they cannot be upheld in making contracts which exclude other labor from the right to contract. Fighting EightrHour Law. Mr. Parry, went into some detail as to the work accomplished by the as sociation during the year, and made a special point of the fact that, largely due to the work of the association, neither ,the eight-hour nor the anti injunction bills were reported out by any of the congressional committees. Mr. Parry declared both of these measures to be socialistic. Gain in Membership. Mr. Parry touched lightly upon the subject of reciprocity and spoke fa vorably of the good roads movement, the improvement of rivers and har bors and the development of the irri gation system. He announced that the association had gained a thou sand members in the last year, bring ing the total membership up to 3,000. Features of the Meeting. One of the most important features of this meeting will be the adoption of a new constitution for the organiza tion. The executive committee of the association has been at work since the last meeting preparing the new constitution, and it will likely be adopted with but few changes. There will probably be no changes made in the officers of the associa tion for the coming year, and D. M. Parry of Indianapolis as president, Marshall Cushing of New York as secretary and H. F. Stillman of New York as treasurer, will be elected at" the closing session of the convention Thursday. New vice presidents may be selected and the executive commit tee changed slightly. The treasurer's report shows a bal ance of about $15,000. SECURED WOMEN'S LOVE xv BY BOGDS R. R. PASSES New York Sun Special Servioe.

Mrs. Minnie Lee Collins, Grandniece of the late' President James K. Polk, writes from 912 High Street, Nashville, Tenn.: "For several years I experienced a severe attack of female trouble. The best physicians prescribed for me but without avail. Two years ago I began to take Peru na at the advice of a friend.
