PARIS, May 17.—A dispatch to worLp Temps from Vienna says information | received there shows the conflict be- tween Viceroy Alexieff and General Kuropatkin is acute.

General the Kuropatkin, Temps' dispatach, of of its forces according to now proposes Port Arthur, the Jjunction with his army and the retirement of the united forces | to Harbin, maintaining that the pres- ent Russian force is not sufficient to cope with the Japanese. Viceroy Alexieff holds his course to be fully as wi as the abandonment | of Port Arthur would mean the loss of the fleet, the suffering of a moral | defeat and the risk of the extermina- tion of the Port Arthur forces while seeking to make a junction with Gen- eral Kuropatkin. The Emperor's en- tourage, it is added, tends to support Viceroy Alexieff. i BELIEVES W -\ll \\ll I, SPREAD. General Miles presses Opinion That Other tions Will Be Involved. ST. LOU!

Large Force of Japanese Is Advancing Toward Newchwang. MUKDEN, May It was an- nounced here to-day that the main body of the Japanese forces is ad- vancing on Haicheng (about ten mile: southeast of Newchwang) and Kai- ping (Kaichou, about thirty-five miles south of Newchwang), and that a smaller force is marching in the di- rection of Liaoyang. Important de- velopments are probable. MUKDEN, May 16.—The fighting line is steadily nearing Mukden, where Viceroy Alexieff’s headquarters still remain. Little reliable information can be obtained by the newspaper correspondents, who are forbidden to proceed to the scene of operations, and official information is withheld unti] advices are sent to St. retersburg. It is now known, however, that the Jap- anese are almost within striking dis- tance of the Russians and that the forces protecting Liaoyvang are stretch- ing eastward from the railroad along the Maotien Mountain range. The Japanese are advancing in three columns and are now north of Siuyen and Fengwangcheng. Two columns are reported to be working farther to the northward, with the ob- ject of turning the Russian position and advancing upon Mukden. Numerous small engagements have been fought, but no decisive action has taken place. Port Arthur is now com- | pletely isolated by the Japanese expe- | dition at Polandien. The Japanese are now opemtmg in a rugged country, well suited to the Russian defense; but north of Liao- vang to Mukden the country is a flat plain, intersected by rivers. The weather recently has been hot and dry and the rain which has been fall- ing in the last two days has made the roads almost impassable for wagons. When the rainy season begins, at the end of June, the plain will be convert- ed into a morass. This condition will probably result in the practical sus- pension of operations. Mukden is now the receiving center for the wounded from the various en- gagements south of the Maotien Mountains. A hospital has been es- tablished in the Llama Temple, in the outskirts of the town, and a field hos- pital has been located in a wood near the military camp around the station. A significant feature of the situa- tion s the demeanor of the Chinese population, which may be said to be a barometer of the military weather, A close observer of the expressions and general attitude of the Chinese can tell how the fighting a hundred Positive cure for CONSTIPA- TION ; relief for all STOMACH TROUBLES, Headaches and general NERVOUS DEBILITY.

They have rapid and mysterious channels of in- formation, through which the result of the battel of Fengwangcheng spread and could be suspected from the out- ward manner of the Chinese before the Russians made it known here. The cutting off of Port Arthur is another instance in point. The newspaper correspondents are most courteously treated by Colonel Poestich, the officet whom Viceroy Alexieff appointed to attend them, but they are chafing under the restrictions imposed here, which prevent them seeing anything of the fighting.

Ll gEe TROOPS CHEER EMPEROR. Nicholas Bids Farewell to the Thirty- | First Artillery Brigade. BELGOROD, Russia, May 17.—Em- | peror Nicholas bade farewell this morn- ing to the Thirty-first Artillery Brigade, which will leave in a few days for Manchuria. The ceremony occurred in | the midst of scenes cf great enthu- slasm, to which solemnity was lent by the united shout of the soldiers as they passed before their sovereign that they were willing to do their best for his | Majesty. The journey of the Emperor here was in the nature of a triumphal on. Crowds of peasants stood | along the railroad track reverently | saluting, with the soldiers guarding the road while the imperial train passed. In anticipation of his Majesty's ar- rival Belgorod was in gala attire. An immense crowd patiently stood from early morning. When the train | stopped alongside the platform at 9:30 o'clock a deafening shout of welcome arose. On alighting from the car his | Majesty was met by the Grand Duke | Sergius Michaelovich, acting grand master of ordnance, and then from the crowd of brilliantly unifermed officers {on the platform stepped forth the Gov- ernor of Koursk, in which Government | Belgorod is situated, who presented his report. Not far away a guard of honor of the Grivorondsk Reserve Regiment was drawn up. The Emperor approached the guard, saying “How do you do, children?” to which the soldiers re- sponded stentoriously: *“We wish good health to your Majesty.” After an inspection of the guard the Emperor received various deputations, from which he accepted bread and it. He also addressed a few words of appreciation to the author of a mu- sical composition dedicated to the mem- ory of the commander of the Russian torpedo-boat destroyer Stereguschtchni, which foundered during the naval battle off Port Arthur on March 9. On leaving the railroad station the Emperor was received with loud cheer- |ing by the populace. He entered a | carriage and was driven to the monas- tery where, after a reception of the clergy, he paid his devotions before the miraculous ikon of St. Nicholas. From the monastery the Emperor pro- ceeded through a double line of boys and girls from the schools, behind sed enthusiastic crowds. ew of the troops began im- mediately after the Emperor’s arrival. The men looked strong and fit and satisfied his Majesty, who closely spected the tr complimenting those with whom he was particularly pleased and receiving their responses. After bidding good-by to the officers and men the Emperor returned to the railroad station amid ringing cheers and resumed his journey to Kharkoff. s gt HUNDREDS OF RUSSIAN DEAD. | proces: 2 rey Japanese Still Busy Burying Slavs Who Fell in the Yalu Battle, Special Dispatch to The Call.

Cressey Asks That Thinking People Under- stand Faith He Teaches GATHER AT CONFERENCE (hristian Churches Meet in Conclave That They May Better Know Each Other The opening session of the Pacific Coast Conference of Unitarian and other Christian churches was held last night in the Second Unitarian Church. The Rev. Jay William Hudson, in a brief address, welcomed the delegates to the hospitalities of the Second Church. President Charles A. Murdock, in re- sponding, said that he had attended eighteen of the twenty sessions of the conference, but that according to a witticism of Mr. Hudson's this twenti- eth conference was to cap the climax and was properly held at the corner of Twentieth and Capp streets. He hoped that the conference would be a real conference, so that it would be worth while to have come all the way from Redlands and Seattle to attend it. DR. CRESSEY’S SERM “What Liberal Christianity Asks From the Thinking World,” was the subject of the conference sermon by the Rev. George Croswell Cre A% : 9 D., of Portland, Or. Dr. Cressey said in part: An orthodox divinity student who had becoms | a Unitarlan once came to me in confidence and | said, “'[ am going to my friends and tell them of the new truth and lead them to the light I have found.” Six months later, as I expected, the young man had found prejudices too strong and relinquished the effort to copvert others to his own way of thinking. We can’t reason- ably expect to maKe others think exactly aa we think, but we can expect them to under- stand what we stand for. A woman recently propounded this questiom to me: “Is it true that a_Unitarian minister | may not utter the name of God?' This is a | stood. All we wish of thinking, people is to | understand what we do believe, and we will | leave the rest to the subtle and secret workings of their own mind and soul. The practical differences between Unitarian- | fsm and older forms of the Christian faith are not in the beliefs we disagree about,” but in our very nature. To define Unitarlanism as disbelief in the deity of Christ ‘s no more ade- quate than to define a republic simply as & country which does not belleve in a king. Our first characteristic is intellectual in na- ture. We do not belleve with the agnostic that religion rests on fancy, nor with the su= pernaturalist who bases religion on credulity. We belleve that religion is founded on experi- ence just as truly as botany and astronomy are. On the highest and most sacred things of life we can accept no other authority than our own gouls and only our religious experience enablés us to understand religlous teaching. There are two great dangers to Christianity | to-day. One is a belief found in some quasi- liberal churches that religion is only a supe- rlor form of esthetics. The other is that our | beliefs in God, Immortality and duty rest on the statements of Jesus Christ or on alleged revelation; -else we should all reasonably be pure materiallsts. THE RELIGION THAT AVAILS. The religion that avails to-day rests not on an alleged revelation, but finds its evidence | in the natural world and its foundation in hu- man experience. Unitarians hold to the religion of Jesus that practical religion is summed up in love to God and love to man and belleve this, not on the authority of Jesus, but because the ex- perience of the world has {ndorsed it and be- | cause in our own experfence it has been proved over and over. Unitarfanism is not merely a protest. It is a principle, called by the much-abused word “liberalism,” and the greatest element in ths greatest thing in the world, Christian charity. Liberalism 1s first intellectual, then emotional and cbove all practical. The conference will continue this morning with a business session and reports on the progress of Unitarian- m in California, Washington and Or- | egon will be made by the Rev. G. W. | Stone of Oakland and the Rev. William | G. Eliot Jr. of Portland, Oregon. afternoon session will be given up to addresses on _the Unitarian leader, Channing, and a conference of Sunday- | school workers.

At night the camp is filled| | with the sound of soldiers singing. al- | Ilernaung with music of bands accom- | panying the songs. Reinforcements are constantly ar- riving.
