fore it was publicly announced or printed

.The afternoon press of Texas gave’ the
news to its readers, the names of the
ships, the date of their arrival and the
duration of their stay even before Ad-

sels, learned of the pleasant duty that
had been assigned him.

Shanghai, April 4.—(Evening.)—A letter
received here from Kobe, Japan, says the
Japanese government has 26,000 troops in
motion and fully 60,000 more under arms
at garrisons and at depots. These num-
bers are exclusive of tile third reserves,
numbering 120,000, which have not been
called to their colors.
The exact number of troops which have
left Japan for various destinations is not
known, but the entire first army has been
landed and established itself in northwest-
ern Korea, with its main base at Chinam-
pho.
The Japanese general staff still carefully
guards the plan of campaign, but it is
generally believed it will operate three
armies, each nominally numbering 100,000
men, the second army landing west of
the Yalu river and the third east of New
Chwang. The landing of the latter two
armies will be easily accomplished, for
the light cruiser squadrons can protect
both movements.
It is thought that the landing of the
heavy Japanese force west of the mouth
of the Yalu will force the Russians to
abandon the fortifications which they have
been erecting north of the Yalu for the
purpose of opposing the crossing of the
first army of Japan from Korea. It is
also anticipated that three great Jap-
anese forces will oper< e in conjunction,
the third army swinging eastward to New
Chwang, seizing oF cutting the railroad,
and then engaging in a turning movement
against the main Russian position.
The Japanese are confident the Russians
will be unable to transport supplies suffi-
cient to maintain a force in Manchuria
larger than 300,000 men. The heavy detach-
ments necessary to guard the railroad and
supply basis, it is claimed, will reduce, the
Russian fighting force to about 200,000 men.
The Japanese are requisitioning thou-
sands of horses, and it is probable that
a considerable detachment of cavalry will
accompany each army. Though the horses
of the Japanese seem inferior to the Rus-
sians’, the Japanese officers say they are
satisfactory and accomplish the work
planned for them. The guns seem light,
but it is believed the Japanese have a num-
ber of heavy batteries equal, in range to
the best European field artillery.
The Japanese also possess a large num-
ber of excellent mountain batteries which
in a rough country will have distinct ad-
vantage over the Russians.
It seems certain that Admiral Togo’s
failure to effectually' dispose of the Rus-
sian fleet at Port Arthur has delayed Jap-
anese operations.
A general thaw .is now proceeding in
Korea and Manchuria, gendering the coun-
try roads impassable and making it im-
possible., to conduct general military oper-
ations until the ground hardens.
We announce the successful competitor for the prize of $15.00,
given for the best trade-mark submitted to us, to be used on our
Boys’ Clothing—MISS EILEEN LAFRANCE—a bright young lady,
but twelve years of age, who has given us a name and drawn a
trade-mark that is exactly suited to the qualities of our Boys’
Clothes.
New York Philanthropist Forwards an Of-
fer of $50,000.
By Associated Press.
New York, April 4.—Announcement ha©
been made by the international committee
of the Y. M. C. A. that James Stokes of
this city has forwarded an offer of $50,600
to the society for the moral improvement
of young men in St. Petersburg. One of
the conditions named by Mr. Stokes is that
$100,000 more be raised in Russia, the whole
to form a fund for the erection of a build-
ing for the society. That the money will
be raised' is not doubted, as many of the
leading men in Russia are interested in
the movement. The head of the society is
Prince Oldenbourg, a close relative of
the emperor. Mr. Stokes took the initiative
in establishing the society in St. Peters-
burg in 1897. The society has received per-
mission from the government to extend
its branches throughout Russia.
The season for field' sports of all kinds
