St. Petersburg, May 30.—Accord- ing to information received by the Associated Press from a high source, important news regarding the Jap- anese plan of campaign which has reached Russian authorities since the battle of Kin-Chou, compels the con- viction that the advance of General Kuroki and the activity of hisscoute northwest and southwest of Fang Wang Chang are parts of a well exe ented feint to prevent General Kuro patkin from detaching a strong force thumper General Oku’s operations upon the Liao-tung peninsula. Under cover of General Kuroki’s screens, it is added, part of the Jap- anese army landed at Taku-Shan will be moved southward into the penin- sula, while Kuroki attempts tomake Kuropatkin. believe that he intends to force a decisive engagement with | him. This information would tend | to prove that the primary object of | | the Japanese campaign all along bas been Port Arthur, and that ouce q that fortress is in their hands, unless ; an exceedingly favorable opportu- } nity offers to attack Kuropatkin, the } Japanese plan is simply to make thelr tenure secure and force the Rus- sian commander to assume the of- fensive. Senator Matthew S. Quay Dies at His Home, Beaver, Pa. Beaver, Pa, May 28 —Senator Matthew Stanley Quay died at 2:48 p. m. The immediate cause of his death was exhaustion, due to{nabili- ty to assimilate nourishment. He had taken no food since 3 o’clock this morning. Chronic gastritis and inflammation of the stomach was the foundation. LONG POLITICAL CAREER, Senator Quay for a generation was theaupreme political king of Pennsyl- vania. He was the son of a Presby- terian minister, Rev. Andreas Beaton * Qnay, and was born at Dilleburg, 2 | Pa., September 30, 1838. He was ¥ . graduated from Jefferson college at ’ theage of 17, and immediately began the study of law in the offices of Pen- ney & Sterset at Pitteburg. His health failing, he went south. | He lost what little money he had and, with an old school friend, he traveled about the country giving magic lan- tern shows and picking up a precar- fous living. ; ‘When he decided to become state he became state treasurer, when he announeed that he was | out his programme to the 10 the Untted States Senate he People’s bank inade against Quay led to the suicide of one of his code: fendants. The Poople’s bank affair came near being the undoing of Quay. With the charges still pend- ing against him, Quay tried to get the legislature to return him to the Senate. The legislature was dend- locked, but later, when a jury acquit ted Quay, Gov. Stone appointed him to succeed himself. The Senate, by a majority of one, refused to seat him. That one vote against him was cast by the late Senator Hanna, and trom that day the men were sworn ene- mies. Later Quay was elected to the Senate, and then he had his cousin, Pennypacker, elected governor. Nothing, no matter how formidable, wasevor able to shake the grip of Quay on the state of Pennsylvania. Quay’s feeling against Hanna led him to go after the chafrmanship of the Republican national committee. He was still fighting to dislodye Hanna with @ clique of well-known lantl-Hanna senators behind him when Hanna died. The last legisla- tion of conacquence in which Quay was conspicuous was his statehood bill, for which he fought vigorously for months.
