Second Division Moves Quickly. The First corps was mobilized . very quickly and transported with. a, celerity and ease that are models for any fighting nation. The Second corps has had thirteen days In which to mobilise, and as far as ran be judged by one Who has no more facilities for observation than the extraordi narily secretive Japanese permits, Its work has been done as well as that of the First. The last, of them should be In UJlna, whence it is expected that It will depart, within two days. This Second corps Is composed of the first division, whose head quarters are at Toklo; the third, from Na goya, and the fourth, from Osaka. The first division comprises the First and Sec ond brigades, oompoied of the First In fantry, from Toklo; and the Fifteenth, from Matsumato; and the Second, from Rakura; and the Third, from Takasakl. In the Third division there are the Fifth brigade, headquarters at Nagoya. com posed of the Sixth and Thirty-third ln- ' fantry, both quartered at Nngoya, and the Seventeenth brigade, headquarters at Toyohashl, composed of the Eighteenth Infantry, quartered at Toyohashl, and the . Thirty-fourth, quartered at Bhtsuoka. The headquarters of the Fourth division Is at Osaka. It is composed of the Seventh bri gade headquarters at Osaka, which com prises the Eighth and Thirty-seventh In fantry, both quartered at Oeaka, and the .Nineteenth brigade, headquarters at Fu shlml, comprising the Ninth Infantry from Otsu and the Thirty-eighth, from Fushlml. 'Lieutenant Generals Prince Fushlml, Oshlml and Ogawa oommand these divi sions respectively. The brigade commanders are Major Generals Matsumlra, First; Na kamura.

NlshUama, Seventh, and AnflO, Nineteenth. , In transporting these troops over the se the Japanese have the advantage of a very short haul. They are not obliged to keep the men aboard ship more than very few days at the most and can transfer them subject to more crowding If necessary than . would be possible If . the journey were longer. The official estimate of spaoe neces sary per man is-two and three-tenths tons of the ship's displacement One Probable Flam. , It is popularly believed here In Toklo, Where mighty little exact information enmes to the surface, that great many troops will be concentrated on the Island of Tsushima, in the Corean straits, if indeed they have not been sent there already, and that when the time comes they will be simply marched aboard ship as thick as they can stand and hustled around- to Halju, about day's steaming. As mat ter of .fact, the men already transported were not so crowded as the official estimate .would seem to-imply. On most of the transports horses were taken also, or sup plies of one sort or another, so that no ' effort was made to take all the men they could carry. The Japanese do not attempt to fit bunks for their soldiers, as we do. Each man sleeps on a mat two feet and half wide by five feet eight Inches long, which he lays down on the deck. On these trans k ports the men sleep on the upper deck and the horses were carried on the main and lower decks and In the hold. Each horse bad a stall two feet six by six feet. Chance for Garrison.

The main road In Corea leads . directly from Ping Tang to Wl Ju, on, the Talu river. Beyond that, It bears sway up through the moun tains, by way of Feng Huang Cheng toward Mukden. The Japanese are already In force at Ping Tang. It seems to be the expectation here to second corps now going forward will go to Corea also. If ' that ! turns out to be the fact. It will Indicate that they probably intend to push up the areat road toward Mukden. That will mean "a big fight somewhere about Feng Huang Cheng. The country Is very moun- talnous and the road exerable. It is so bad that It has been explicitly said at the War office that the army would not under take to employ wheeled transportation of any kind, but that implies that the army will endeavor to get along without field guns, and it Is safe to say that an at- tempt to drive the Russians out of their I strong positions with only the assistance of mountain guns will be extremely hazard-1 , Port Arthur Is Fated This line of attack, however, threatening the Russian line at the center, would keep the Muscovites guessing. To occupy Muk den would be to command Port Arthur and Vladivostok at once. The vaunted fortress at the dip of the Liau Tung peninsula has already demonstrated Its weakness and is rapidly assuming the condition of a very sore felon at the tip of a long finger. When the Japanese get ready to cut the peninsula and ut supplies Fort . Arthur must come dowii, unless it U prepared for a much longer siege than- seems to be the case. The Chinese have declared their lieu- rrallfy in all countries west of the Llau river and the Japanese have acoepted It.

There remains Vladivostok, protected by an Impassable river, the Tumen, and by rugged mountains, and defended by bills and great guns. There is talk that the Japanese can go up Amur bag and iahd men behind the town under cover of the guns of the navy. If that is possible It makes their task much simpler. But if they have to land on the mainland below Posslet bay and march up the job Is riot likely to be finished this summer.

SALOON LOBBY IS WORRIED Bill Limiting Tims of Comsat Orisrs is Likely to Go Throafn HAS ALREADY PASSED THE SENrtU Pnts Dealers to Expense of ieewrln Sew Petitions Erery Three .or Fonr f eavrs Where Oppo sition Is Strong;. (From Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, April 1 (8peclal.) The passage through the senate ot the bill to limit the time of consent orders under the mulct law of Iowa has stirred up the Whole question of the saloons In Iowa. It has been expected for some time that there would be no legislation of any kind affecting either the saloons or drug stores or Interfering In any way with tho liquor business. Early In the legislative session several bills were introduced affecting these questions and they were given some con sideration. When It became evident that the state marshal bill could not pass and the effort to lengthen the hours of saloons was failure, then it was assumed that the bill to limit the life of saloon consent petitions would not pass. The senate wss polled and It Is claimed that an absolute majority of the members pledged them selves that they would not allow the bill to go through. .. But later the situation changed and then the bill was amended so that it applies only to counties and to cities of less than 5,000 population, and in this form it got a suffi cient number of votes ln th senate. The lobby was so confident that the bill had been headed off In the senate that no atten tion had been paid to the house at all. Now the bill is ln a house committee that Is favorable to the legislation and the com mittee will meet on Tuesday to consider It. The lobby Is much exercised over th Situa tion, and It Is generally believed ithat the bill will go through. It makes a material change ln the mulct law, putting the deal ers In liquor to the expense of securing new petitions every three or four years where there is considerable minority of the voters opposed to the legalising ot the saloons. Primary Election Law. . The Tolk county primary election bill. which was Introduced ln the house by Representative English and which passed that body last week, was adopted ln the senate without opposition this morning. The bill Is Intended to cover remedies' for all the evils which have been complained of at recent primary elections In Dee Moines and Polk county,' and is plain and exhaustive In Its features. Senator Crossley, who had threatened to oppose the measure, before the final vote was taken as a matter of personal privilege, and explained that while the bill was ln his opinion not what it should be and not what he had hoped would be adopted for the state, it was declared It would legalise, the primaries in. Polk county and he therefore Intended to vote for it. . The bill by Senator Stlrton, permitting cities and towns to appropriate not to ex ceed 20 per cent of their receipts from the mulct saloon tax to the support of publlo libraries, was taken up and adopted. A legalising act, aiding the Brook field Creamery association of Worth county, was adopted. The senate adopted the joint resolution recently passed by the house for a consti tutional amendment giving the state the power of eminent domain In construction of drains and ditches. This resolution was In troduced to aid the proposed drainage law, which, some have feared in the form it is Intended, shall it be adopted, will be un constitutional. ... Shortly before noon the board of con trol bill for state educational institutions was called up, but when the senate ad journed at noon no action had been taken. Senator Qlllllland again assailed the mea sure and in an eloquent speech defended the present management of the institu tions by boards of regents. Honse Proceedings. The house had short session today end passed a bill which had come over from the senate permitting Insurance companies to Invest In the stocks of state and savings banks. The house also passed a senate bill requiring telegraph and telephone com panies to file their reports with the county auditors. An effort was made, but failed. to get reconsideration of the vote on the bill to permit school attendance ln an ad joining district at the expense of the dis trict where the pupil resides. House ad journed until 1 p. m. Monday. Funds of the State. The quarterly count of the funds of the state In the possession of the state treas urer was made by the auditor and gov ernor and the following were found to be the sums ln the various funds on the books t Oenerai revenue, ll,130,96.01; endowment fund. tW.m.Vl; college Interest, $32.363.T5 university special, $14,711.71; college special, 111,079 31; normal school special, 11982.41; swamp land Indemnity, $1,772 89.

The surgeon who Is attending a dangerous ease praises ths food that helped his little patient. "I have a story to tell about what Grape-Nuts did and Is still doing for my child, a story marvelous Indeed which seems almost. incredible, but which Is an absolute fact "Two years ago ln March my little 4-year-old daughter was stricken down with Tuberculosis of the right hip joint. We put her In charge of a specialist for treat ment. He told us that our only hope of saving her hip and perhaps life in addi tion to his surgical treatment was to build up tver system with good nourishing food to make good rich stood, bone, muscle and fat which ln time would cure fhe disease by absorption. ' "This sounded easy, but proved a diffi cult case to treat as there were so many foods recommended that did not agree with her or that she did not like and therefore would not eat. "For a year and a half she barely held her own until Grape-Nuts was tried which she liked from the first and In two months gained two pound! ln weight where during the eighteen months preceding she had lost weight. "Now notwithstanding she is also just re covering from a severe attack of the whooping cough which she has had for the last three months, she has gained steadily In weight. Is growing nicely and her entire recovery Is promising and hopeful and ws are confident of complete success. "Our surgeon Is delighted with the rapid Improvement she la making and both be and ourselves are more than thankful that we tried Grape-Nuts." The writer of this letter Is the Pastor of a church- at Warrnvllle. Ohio. Name given by Pea turn Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Thousands of physicians now prescribe Grape-Nuts food In alt cases where elrensth ts expected from food.

The senste paased the the constitutional amendment proposed In the house this week to permit of special drainage legislation and this will mske It certain that at some future time the drain age legislation will be perfected. Take t'p Blndlnsi Twin. The bill to provide for a binding twine plant st the state penitentiary at Anamnea was reported from committee for Indefi nite postponement, but on the suggestion of the minority, which signed protest. It has been made a special order for next Tuesday, when an effort will be made to secure the passage of the bill through the house. It would establish a plant for the making of twine by convict labor, to be sold to the farmers of the state st very small profit. Miners lyay Sell Coal. Coal miners here who realise, that, 'if there Is a greet shortage ot coat owing to the fact that the mines are shut down, a corresponding resentment will be felt toward the miners, have practically de cided that If the present trouble Is to con tinue long they will establish an agency and sell coal so an to prevent the ope rators from charging exorbitant prices. They say they will get the coal from the east and sell It at cost to the consumers, If necessary. There Is a general feeling now that the mines will be shut down only the fifteen days pending further con sideration of the wage scale, and that st the end of the fifteen days an agreement will have been reached and the miners will go to work as usual. Neither the miners nor the operators appear to be in the least disturbed over the situation, but consumers of coal are much worried. Tracking Two Pagltlves. Two fugitives from Polk county Jail, supposed to be in the northern part of the county, are being tracked by the sheriff with bloodhounds. They are "Satan" An drews, an old man accused of' crimes against young girls, and L. M. King, Ac cused of heavy forgeries. They succeeded in getting out of the temporary Polk county jail about midnight last night and are now at large. C. W. Craves, who is under indictment for the murder of his wife some time ago, refused to leave the jail wth them, declaring today that he is Innocent and would much prefer to re main and stand trial and establish his Innocence. The other two men are be lieved to be very hard characters and strong effort Is being made to apprehend them. Booth Wins Prohibition Contest. J. II.

Mrs. O'Brien had sent a photograph of one of the family to Humphrey and re quested the sheriff to wlrs If there was any resemblance. On Thursday night the sheriff, replied: "Come to Humphrey at once. Picture resembles dead man," and she took the first train for Nebraska. Her son James was ill at Seattle last fall and went down to the races at Oakland. He left there on March 14 and wrote that he wis headed for home. Since then nothing i had been heard of him and It was this lack of knowledge as to his Whereabouts that caused the alarm. The route from California to Minneapolis would lead him through Humphrey enroute from Columbus to Norfolk. Tho mother Is overcome today with the strain.
