"When the Japanese drove the Russians out of Chong Ju last Monday, the Rus sians withdrew In two columns, one go ing over the Koak 8an road and the other over the Fekin road. The Japanese advance from Chong Ju waa made very rapidly. It was anticipated thai the Russians would resist this advance, but they failed to do so.

and now It Is not prob able that there will be any further opposition south of the Yalu river. The Japanese are gratirLea at the comparative ease with which they drove the Russians from this fort.

JAPANESE FORCES NUMBER NEARLY HALF MILLION More Than a Quarter of Million Are In Motion, and Sixty Thousand Arc Under Arms in Garrisons.

SHANGHAI. April 4. A dispatch re ceived here from Kobe, Japan, says the Japanese government tea 2,000 troops in motion, and fully 60,000 more under arms In garrisons and at the depots. These numbers are exclusive of the Third Re serves, numbering 120,000. which have not bean called to the The exact number of troops which have left Japan for their various destinations Is not known, but the entire First Army has been landed and has established itself In northwestern Korea, with its main base at Chlnnampo.

The landings of the latter two armies will be easily accomplished, 'for the light cruiser squadrons can protect both movements. Will Work Together.

It Is thought that the landing of a heavy Japanese force west of the mouth of the Yalu will force the Russians to abandon the fortifications which they have been ereotlng north of the Yalu for the' purpose of opposing the crossing of the first army Japan from Korea. It Is also anticipated that the three great Japanese forces will operate In conjunction, the third army, swinging eastward of New Chwang, seizing or cutting the railroad, and then engaging a turningiwaovement againaC the main Russian position. The Japanese are con ndent that the. Russians will be unable to transport supplies sufficient to maintain In Manchuria a force larger 300,000 men. The heavy detachments necessary to guard the railroad and supply bases will.

The Japanese are requisitioning thousands of horses, and it la probable that a considerable detachment of cavalry will accompany each army. Though 'the horses of the Japanese seem Inferior to the Russians, the Japanese officers say I mey win accompiusa tne worn planned for them. Much Japanese artillery is departing ior id rroni.

Japan also possesses a large number of excellent mountain batteries, which In a rough country will have a distinct advantage over the RusBlana. It eeems certain that Vice Admiral Togo's failure effectually to dispose of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur has delayed the Japanese land operations.

In Illinois and Iowa, acutiloba tho only species found. Apparently. Kast and West meet at JndianapoUs in this respect, as in so many others. It is true that acutiloba prefers a hillside facing north, but I have often seen it growing near the foot of the steep high bluffs of the upper Mississippi, facing either east or west It iriU not be found, however, except in a damp, shady thicket, and never grows where there Is grass.

I have ever seen H. triloba, and It would be an unnatural sight to tne' to ee Ivcnatjcas growing on a slope facing the aoutlL. I would like to know whether your cor resIondent has observed any difference In the color of the two kinds.

The flood was a splendid object lesson. The average man could eee that to control and confine such a body of water will take not only a well built levee Uhe boulevard will amount to that), but one much higher than the present ones, as It would never do to allow the water to get behind, for the boulevard, if not destroyed, would act as a dam and prevent the backwater from escaping. If the boulevard i 1 built on a level than the present levees, what are we going to do with the bridges at Central avenue. Meridian and' Illinois streets? They would th be too low, as wilfT'the water confined they would act as dams until torn to piece, beside letting the water through on lioth ends. As the bridge question Is going to be a serious one, all contingencies should be thought of.
