CRUDE OIL WILL BRING HIGHERPRICE NEXT FALL Interest in Operations in Trenton Rock Field at Present Centers in Delaware County. TOLEDO, Ck, May 2D. Oil operators are feeling confident of better prices for the crude production later in the season. Present conditions warrant better prices, as the stocks arc beijig drawn upon gradually and the price of Jlrcn pipe has taken an adVance. No new fields are In sight to flood the empty tankage throughout the oil regions, and when th;s heavy drain upon storage commences ndxt winter the price will have to advance t keep up the good work. "Work is not belns pushed in any quarter and It is a wire move of the operator. None of the new fields, like Kansas. Indian Territory, Kentucky," Tennessee, , Utah, Colorado. Wyoming". California. Texas and Loumfana ar showinpr. anything that will prove disastrous to the prospects of . good prices In the higher-grade fields for the crude product. Illuminating oil Is rather low in price, and some of the refiners are making a kick, but they arc getting big prices for the by-products tnd realize handsomely for their labors. They are making more money than the oll t operators, who put their money Into the ground to find the product. The operator Is the one that takes the greatest resionsibility upon his shoulders. The preseni excitement in the Trenton rock Meld is centered in Delaware county, Indiana, where many new wells are being drilled to a J greater depth into 'the oil formation thrjn ever before.

JAPAII THAIS AMERICA FOB JTSC IV 1 LIZ AT 1 0 H Meeting of Professors and Students at Tokio Enthusiastically Passes Resolutions.

MARQUIS ITO'S WARNING LONDON, May 30. The correspondent of the Standard at Tokio telegraphs that a memorable gathering of educationalists and students, representing the Imperial University and other Institutions of learning, on Saturday enthusiastically passed a resolution recording their gratitude to the government of the United States for having opened Japan to a new life and a new civilization by the Perry treaty. They expressed gratitude to the American people for a constant friendship and sympathy during the past half century, and especially during the current war. The resolution repeated the assurances that Japan is not fighting for aggrandizement, but to secure to the empire peace and civilization. Marquis Im. speaking as a guest, expressed hi3 whole-hearted approval of the resolution. At the same time he cautioned his countrymen not to abuse the sympathy of Americans, who, as neutrals, had their own duties and responsibilities. lie urged the nation to do its utmost to retain and df serve the moral sympathy of the civilized world, and he passionately 'appealed to his countrymen to fight to the bitter end, whether victorious or defeated. The whole destiny of the nation was staked on the issue of the war, he said. The speech aroused the greatest enth,jiasm. CHICKEN FEED MAN SUES MRS. ADDICKS Seamstress Likewise Begins Action Against Wife of Senatorial . Candidate. WILMINGTON, Del., May 20.-Again the face of the sheriff Is pointed in the direction of the home of the wife of J. Edward Addicks, at Claymont. Again has the husband, who Is presumed to be worth much money, stepped aside and refused to pay the household debts." Mr. Addicks is so busily engaged in national politics that his time is taken up at the national capital, and then he hies to the comfortable home attached to his newly purchased Maryland estate. Ills wife, however, keeps at the Claymont house. Two more sult3 have been entered In the Superior Court against Mrs. J. Edward Addicks, wife of the gas magnate and the candidate for United States senator. The affidavits of demand were filed In the prothonotary's office. One of the suits is brought by J. & W. Hoopes, of Boothwyn, Pa., and is for corn meal and "middlings" used for chicken feed and furnished from July, 1003, to November, 1&3. The. amount of the bill is $331. Amelia R. Ellis, a seamstress, of Philadelphia, has brought the other suit, claiming 1331 for services performed. It is understood that J. Edward Addicks has discharged the help on one of his farms without the proper notice being given, which promises to add one more suit to his already long list. The men who worked on the Addicks farm are said to have been hired under contract for one year from March 25 until the tame date the next year. Notwithstanding this, Addicks visited the farm a few days ago and notified the men that they must leave by May 25. A3 their new year began March 25, and they were not notified to leave before that date, It Is likely that the men will bring suit. It is stated that Addicks has sent the cattle that were on the farm hereto his farm in Maryland. SHOWERS AND COOLER PROMISED FOR TO -DAY WASHINGTON, May 23.

Hand-to-Hand Japanese (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) ana then the entire infantry force gradually moved forward. The gunners on the fortified heights were not slow in giving smart response to the Japanese attack, and soon a vigorous fire and counterfire was in progress, to which the big guns of the Japanese squadron lent noisy chime. At 6 o'clock the atmosphere had cleared up sufficiently for the naval markmanship to work effectively. For three hours the shelling from bay and shore and the replying from the forts continued without interruption, aud then the Russian fire abated. - . THE FIRST RUSH. The cessation of the firing on the hill was a signal for a forward movement of the troops below, and the attacking batteries changed their positions to secure better ranges. At 11 o'clock a zone varying from S00 to 5,500 yards in width separated the Japanese and Russian lines, and the rest of the day was spent by assailing forces in crossing the fire-swept zone. A Russian gunboat in Tallen-Wan bay opened fire on the Japanese left at 10 o'clock in the forenoon and continued firing for five hours. Five Russian steamers attempted to land their crews near Hung-Tu-Al, but the Third Division stopped them. In the meantime four heavy guns at Ta-Fang-Chen found the range of the Third Division and kept shelling it until 7 o'clock in the evening. The artillery with the Third Division vainly endeavored to reach these guns, but failed on account of the darkness. In the main attack the Japanese artillery continued shelling Nan-Shan hill, seeking to destroy entanglements and otherwise clear the way of the Infantry, but every time the infantry advanced the awful Rusisan fire drove them back. In the meantime the Russians had reinforced their right under cover of two field batteries previously withdrawn from Nan-Shan with fresh Infantry, whose fire enfiladed a considerable portion of the entire Japanese line, AMMUNITION EXHAUSTED. Very critical at this time was the situation for General Oku's forces, for at the wavering of the line, under the reinforcement of tho Russian Infantry, came the reports from the Japanese batteries that the ammunition was almost exhausted. General Oku reports that he knew he could not hope to continue the battle much longer, so decided to make an assault In force, regardless of casualties. Then the artillery opened fire with the remaining ammunition and the First Division courageously assaulted the Russian center, only to be beaten back. During this time the Fourth Division artillery had been pounding the Russian left. Suddenly .the Japanese squadron also began pouring shells into the Russian left, and its noisy awakening was succeeded by the onslaught of the Fourth Division on the demoralized left wing of the defenders, and the victory was won. The beaten forces, badly shattered, retreated toward Tort Arthur, exploding the Ta-Fang-Chen magazines as they receded. A detachment of Japanesa Infantry pursued the retreating Russiaus far Into the night. General Oku estimates that the force' of the enemy consisted of one line division, two batteries of field artillery, some fortress artillery and marines. General Oku telegraphs his opinion that the Russians intended to check the Japanese advance at Nan-Shan in order to protect Port Arthur. Besides the big guns a miscellaneous assortment of Russian property was captured. General Oku concludes his report by heartily thanking the navy for its co-operation. The Japanese captured a number of Russjan officers and men. Guns from the Fleet. CHE-FOO, May 20. 10 a. m. Chinese from Dalny say that the Russians had twentysix naval guns at Nan-Shan and also that many guns from the Port Arthur fleet had been placed in the land batteries. JAPANESE SCOUTS NEAR DALNY; FIGHT REPORTED CHE-FOO. May 2D. 10:30 p. m. A Chinese who arrived from Dalny to-day, having left there on Saturday, says that a Japanese scouting party was seen by villagers in the vicinity of Dalny and that a battle took place Friday at Vlng-Chong-Tse, a point on the railroad about ten miles northwest of Dalny. Dalny has ' been practically evactuated, according to the statements of Slkhi and Kutsian refugees arriving here to-day by junk. All valuables, ammunition and most of the troops have been taken to Port Arthur. The only civilians remaiulug are the electrical engineers in charge of the mines laid in the harbor, and thoio set to destroy docks and piers. Crulxer Itnynn in DanRer. CHE-FOO. May 29. 4 p. m. One large Russian warship, probably the armored cruiser Bayan, and three torpedo boats reached Talien-Wan bay on Tuesday, last, the 21th instant, from Port Arthur, and it was doubtless this vessel which attacked the Japanese left wing during the battle at Kin-Chou on the 2th instant. The junks, on their way down, passed fourteen war vessels nine miles outside of Dalny, so that the Bayan probably will be captured. The United States gunboat Frolic, now here, will go to Nieu-Chwang in case that town is evacuated by the Russians. LOSSES AND TROPHIES OF KIN-CHOU FIGHT TOKIO, May 2D. General Oku, commanding the army attacking Kin-Chou. reports that In the attack on Nan-Shan hill the Fourth Division formed the right wing, the Third Division the left wing, and the First Division the center. The enemy consisted of one division of the field army and two batteries of field artillery, besides fortress artillery and marines. The Fourth Division, taking advantege, of th enemy's left wing, which was weakened by the bombardment from our fleet at Kin-Chou bay. finally succeeded in earning the enemy's position, while other divisions Immediately followed it up. Thereupon the enerry retreated In confusion, exploding magatines at Tafang-Shln. The trophies of the battl consist of sixtyeight guns and ten machine un, besides

many other things. Our casualties are estimated at about 3,500. The enemy left on the battlclleld over five hundred dead bodies. General Oku has issued a proclamation to the people of Llao-Tung peninsula setting forth that Japan was forced to appeal to arms on account of the unlawful aggression of Russia in China and Korea. The proclamation declares that the Japanese army is fighting for the cause of justice, and pledges protection to persons and property and noninterference with orderly citizens. It promises ample remuneration for all horses and food supplies requisitioned, and warns the people to refrain" from assisting the Russians under penalty of severe punishment. Certain Russian correspondence which has been intercepted by the Japanese at the blockade of Port Arthur gives the Information that some Russian torpedo boat destroyers have been sunk by mines outside of Port Arthur, as well as details of the placing by the Russians of tho mines which effected the destruction of the Japanese battleship Hatsuse on May 13. The sixth Japanese squadron, which was blockading Port Arthur, overhauled and ( searched a junk and seized a number of letters written by Russian officers. One letter said that a torpedo boat destroyer had successfully placed a series of mines during the night which preceded the loss of the Hatsuse, and, continuing, told of the loss of some Russian destroyers, now many Is not mentioned, but it is indicated that there were at least two. The heavy loss of life which accompanied the sinking of the Japanese cruiser Yoshlne, as a result of colliding with the Japanese cruiser Kasagua on May 15, was due to the smashing of five of her boats by falling masts. When the ships came together collision mats were used and a tarpaulin was placed over the hole, but it was impossible to stop the inrush of water. The ship settled quickly, listing to the starboard. Captain Gin Sayeki ordered the crew to the upper deck where they manned the boats. Five boats were lowered on the starboard side and one on the port side, but before they cleared the ship lurched to the starboard and began to sink. The masts and davits smashed all five of the boats on the starboard side. Captain Sayeki ' remained on the bridge and cried "Banzla" to the sailors as they were entering the boats. When last seen he was shaking hands with Commander HIrowatari and bidding him farewell. At this moment Lieutenant Naito sprang overboard and swam to the only cutter which had escaped from the wreck. He rowed to the cruiser Kasuga and returned with three boats, but no trace of the Yoshlno or her crew could be found with the exception of six men who had been rescued by boats from the cruiser Chitose. The fog was so dense that the searchlights of the Kasuga, though not more than 6o0 meters distant, were only faintly discernible. The Kasuga struck the Yoshino on the port side, near the engines, and the force of the blow was so great that the dynamos of her lighting plant were destroyed, leaving the shin in darkness. The portrait of the Emperor aboard the Yoshino was rescued and carried to the Kasuga. Commander Honda, who commanded tho flreshlp Totomi In the successful sealing of Port Arthur, arrived here to-day. Honda and the entire crew of the Totomi were deafened by their terrible experience. The explosions and awful cannonade ruptured the tympanums of their ears. Commander Honda may recover the hearing of one ear, but he will be permanently deaf In the other. Honda and his comrades did not discover their unfortunate condition until they were leaving the ship. He shouted his orders to his men, yet he failed to hear his own voice, and he was forced to make slgn3 indicating his orders In order to successfully bring the crew back to Vice Admiral Togo's squadron. LIAChYANG MERCHANTS CLOSING UP BUSINESS LIAO-YANG. Saturday, May 28. Most of the Chinese merchants are closing their stores and winding up business in expectation of serious events. Those remaining in business have raised the price of meat and other products. A high Chinese personage here is believed to be organizing a movement against the Russians. The Russian cavalry is in great need of forage. Clinese arriving here brought the news of the fighting at Kin-Chou. The results of the fighting on the peninsula caused no appreciable effect on the troops whose health and spirits are excellent. Soldiers are arriving daily. RUSSIA IS ANXIOUS; NO NEWS FROM FRONT ST. PETERSBURG,' May 20, 12:45 p. m. Intense Interest is displayed in the Japanese reports of the Kin-Chou battle. The people in the streets almost mob newsboys to secure extras containing the dispatches. Crowds stood around the official bulletin boards awaiting the Russian version, but none arrived. The official world, as well as the general public, is entirely dependent on the Japanese for news. Further details are eagerly looked for, especially regarding losses. The prevailing conviction here is that the Japanese must have carried Nan-Shan at tremendous sacrifice. The accounts of the heroically stubborn defense made by the Russians, notwithstanding their position, subjected to the fire of artillery from the front and from warships on the flank, are a source of much satisfaction. Their own reports, the Russians say, could not have placed the fighting qualities of their soldiers in a better light than do those from the Japanese. Both the Admiralty and the War Office are without news, and frankly confess they do not expect to hear from the beleaguered garrison in Port Arthur again, directly, except by accident, until the fortress has been relieved or surrendered cr the war ended. Some native reports, which drifted into headquarters at Liao-Yang and were forwarded here, say that the Japanese lost many thousands. The Impression in army circles is that the Japanese will push operations against Port Arthur with the greatest energy, but it is also believed a month or more will be required to bring tip siee guns. In the Chino-Japanese war, although Kin-Chou was taken practically without opposition, eleven days were necessary to prepare for the storming of Port Arthur. I Colonel Novttky, of the general staff, in st Interview, point3 out that Port Arthur,

r4

although generally denominated a fortress, is in reality an ectreuched camp whereof Kir.-Chou was only an advanced improvised position. It would be unwise to judge of the- strength bf the permanent connected fortifications around Port Arthur by KinChou. These fortifications, he said, support each other scientifically. Operations against them will require the most careful systematic preparation. "The Japanese now before Port Arthur," said Colonel Novtzky, "may proceed in three ways. First, an open attack after preparatory artillery fire; second, a progressive siege, and third, a blockade. I think the Japanese will adopt the first course, as it is not to their advantage to wait while Russian reinforcements are arriving. The second method is a loug and complicated operation that might last months. "Port Arthur, generally speaking, is impregnable, but impregnability is a relative term. Nothing In fortifications is really inviucible. Guns will destroy any structure. Cannon will defeat ach other. Sappers can remove impediments outside and fill ditches. Scaling ladders will overcome any walls. Miues can be met with countermines. "A blockade would Involve passive activity for many months and an enormous number of troops. Therefore, I believe that the Japanese will attempt to carry the place by assault with the aid of their artillery. "The Japanese are copying on a larger scale their campaign of 1S9I. While Gen. Oku is at Port Arthur, General Kurokl, after a Junction with the advancing army landing at Tnku-Shan, will move on HaiCheng and Nieu-Chwang until they are occupied. I do not believe General Kuroki will move against General Kuropatkin's main position until ho has formed a base at Nieu-Chwang." One of the Associated Press Russian correspondents has Just returned from Port Arthur. He has been over and is thoroughly familiar with the forts and defenses -there. His opinion is that the fortress cannot be taken except by systematic siege operations, which will require many months. "Unless the Japanese are able to carry it In less than three months," the correspondent says, "they wijl be too late, as General Kuropatkln will then have enough men to send an army to relieve the garrison. Fock is a great fighter. Stoessel has 40,(XX) men, including the sailors on . the warships. The garrison is provisioned for a year." TUe correspondent also explains that the abrupt declivity in the rear of tho position at Nan-Shan made it impossible for Gen. Fock to take away .heavy guns when he retired. The Novoe Vremya says that whatever the Port Arthur squadron does, it must not imitate the squadron at Sevastopol longer than to have a good chance for an open fight with the enemy. It were better that than to sink the ships in the harbor. Viceroy Aliexieff has notified the native peasants In Manchuria not to sow cofn or other plants whose tall stalks might afford cover for Chunchus.v A special oivoy of the Ministry of Agriculture is now at Liao-Yang organizing the planting of vegetables along the railroad to meet the requirements of the army. JAPAN IS ACCLAIMED AS A WORLD POWER LONDON, May SO. The London dallies exhaust the vocabulary of admiration for the Japanese. The achievement at KinChou they regard as proving the absolute military equality of the Japanese with the best European armies and as qualifying Japan to rank as a great power. The Daily Telegraph says editorially: "Japan is no longer a great power by brevet rank. On the field of Kin-Chou she has taken her final commission, and henceforth her Intercourse with the West stands on a basis of reciprocal equality." Most of the newspapers regard the fall of Tort Arthur to be now inevitable. The Standard is surprised that such a position as Kin-Chou could have been stormed with comparatively so small loss of life and says: "The extraordinary diminution in the Intensity of slaughter on modern battlefields is exercising the minds of many tacticians, for it may be found the solution of many problems involved In the maintenance of monster armies by Europe." The Standard's Tlen-Tsin correspondent telegraphs that Uchida, the Japanese minister at Peking, has demanded an immediate reply to the inquiry previously sent to the Wai-Wu-Fu as to whether China is prepared to hold and administer. teriitory the Japanese have conquered, adding that otherwise Japan must appeal to other powers to undertake the responsibility at the expense of China. The Daily Telegraph has a dispatch from Shanghai nftying it is reported there that Minister Uchida has notified the Chinese government that Port Arthur will soon be captured, and has asked whether China is ready to resume possession of the district or if Japan shall hold it. The Times correspondent at Wei-Hai-Wel learns frcm a fugitive Russian that General Stocssel's orders are to dispute every inch of the country between Port Arthur and Kin-Chou, because it is believed that the main advance on Mukden can be delayed until Port Arthur falls. The Standard's Che-Foo correspondent says a Russian gunboat, believed to be the Bohr, which was in action at TalienWan on Thursday, has arrived from Port Arthur. She was chased by the Japanese, but was able to take some refugees from Dalny. She was not followed into that port on account of mines. The Tien-Tcin correspondent of the Dally Express says that Paul Lessar, the Russian minister, informfd Prince Chinjr that Russia will finally evacuate Nieu-Chwang provided China grants a concession for a railway from Kalpran across Chinese Mongolia to Kitkhta. eighty miles from Lake Baikal, or-that Russia will evacuate Manchuria outright if China leases the 111 territory in Chinese Turkestan to Russia. CONFLICTING REPORTS OF RUSSIAN COLUMNS SF.OUL, Korea, May 23, 7 p. m. Continuous and conflicting reports concerning the movements of che Russians are being received from Korean sources, with wild guesses as to the number of men seen, while, owing to the differences existing between the Korean and Japanese pronunciation, it lä difficult to determine the different localities mentioned.

reinforced in the near future. The Cossacks claim that 600 cavalry and 4,000 infantry are following In their rear. The main bodies of the invaders are advancing by two routes, flanked and preceded by small scouting parties. It is not known whether their objective point is Fing-Yang or Gensan, the latter being an easy prey, the town stretching along the beach in a cuplike hollow formed by the surrounding hills.
