Trying te Take the Offensive Out of Oyama’s_Hands. SMay 26—The news from the front continues to point to the proximity of fighting on a large scale. Lieutenant Gen- eral Linevitech sent Lieutenant General Ren- nenkampff's Cossacks on a daring expedition around Field Marshal Oyama's left. Rennen- kampff xucceeded in getting to the rear of the badly cut up. Many believe that General Linevitch is try- ing to take the offensive out of Marshal Oya- ma’s hands. The latter has made all prepara- tions against possible interruptions of his com- munications and the cessation of the transport service from Japenese ports. All reinforce- ments avallable and immense quantities of provisions and munitions or war have been ianded at Yinkow and Damy since Vice Ad- miral Ro estvensky appeared in the Straits of Malacca. Newspaper correspondents at the front ‘are prevented by the censor from telegraphing any intelligent view of the situation, and this has always been the precursor of important des velopments. General Linevitch has taken far greater precautions than did General Kurcpat- Kin to prevent his plans leaking out. SRASEEL G FRENCH SILK INDUSTRY FACES A GRAVE CRISIS® Bill Providing for Increase in Duty Debated in the Chamber of Deauties. PARIS, May 24—A serious crisis in the silk industry was brought to the attention of the Chamber of Deputles to-day by the debate on the bill increesing the duty on silks of Fu- ropean origin irom 40 cents to $1 50 and plac- ing & duty of $180 per kilo on Japanese and Chinese raw silks, heretofore admitted free, M. Morel, Republican, in reporting the bill, said a crisis had come. At Lyons and other silic_centers business had fallen oft and sal- aries had been reduced until ruin was appar- ent if the Government did not intervene. Some regions showed 50 per cent diminution in pro- ductlon. One proprietor, having 100 looms, now works thirty and within_ten This amounted to a general crisis in the industry, particularly in fancy thread silks, the pro- duction of which was only halt of that ten years ago, representing an annual loss of $18,- ,000. The caus: was the gradual decline ot forelgn competition. g s Sy TAKES OPEN-SEA ROUTE. Rojestvensky Minimizes the Danger of a Torpedo Attack. ST. PETERSBURG, May 24.—In naval efr- cles it is now generally wssumed that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky’'s squadrons are on the Pacific, steaming northward and giving the Pescadores, Formosa and the Loochoo Islande a wide berth, In order to minimize the danger of a concentrated torpedo attack under cover of thesc islands and to force Vice Admiral Togo, should he elect to accept battle, to meet him in the open, All idea that the Russian admiral will at- tempt to force a passuge of the Korean Straits has been abandoned. Both the Perouse Strait, between the {slands of Hokkaldo and Sagha- lien, and the Tsugaru Straits, between the lsl- ands of Hokkaido and Hondo, were reconnoi- tered by the cruisers and destroyers at Viadi- vostok and the results communjcated to Ro est- vensky before he left the coast of French Indo- China, il SITUATION GROWS TENSE. Rival Commanders Are Preparing for the Death Grapple. GUNSHU PASS, Manchuria, May 24.—The situation is very tense and tne rival command- ers are watching each other itke hawks. Fleld Marshal Oyama has made no decisive move- ment, Lieutenant General Rennekampf, how- ever, made a bold reconnarssance at the cost of several hundred casualties. It was Rennen- kampf's cavalry which penetrated southwest of ‘Fakoman. A dispatch from Toklo on May 22 sata: the Russian terrorists, even though the latter are at present extremely active in many parts of the empire. The Armenians laid the responsibility for the deaths of those slain in Febru- ‘ary at the dcdor of Prince Nakachidze and only yesterday suit was begun against the Prince before the Senate tribunal in St. Petersburg in behalf of the children of Lalaieff, a Baku mil- lionaire, whose house was stornied and burned and himself, his wife and par- ents killed during the riots. In the suit damages to the amount of $12,500 were claimed, it being maintained that the Governor, instead of performing his duty by stopping the massacre, ac- tually incited the Tartars to attack the Armenians. Prince Nakachidze was popular among the Russian element in the Caucasus, He was a man of high spirit, and In spite of the hatred of the powerful Armenian revolutionary com- mittee, he disdained military protec- tion and appearcd on the streets unat- tended. He refused to heed the warn- ings and entreaties of his friends. i . FEARS SPREAD OF CATHOLICISM. Moscow Gazette Bitterly Assails Re- ligious Toleration. ST.
