MEET AT rULL, SI'IiUD.
Moscow, Juno 3. Tho Russian gov
ernment Is beginning to reality that
its troops in thu Hold will hardly ho
able to retain possession of Manchuria,
and that even more reverses are in
store fur General Kuroi ntkiu's army.
It is learned from an absolutely de
pendable source that Harbin Is being
lortltled and placed in condition to
withstand n stegu and that It Is goner-
ally Inilloved in government circles that
tho urmy will bo compelled to abandon
Mukden and all positions to the south
ward and retire to Harbin, there to
await tho Japanese armies. Thu in
formant states that all tho heavy siege
guns which havo liocn reported as
shipped for uso in tho Jtusaian tortlll
cations in Southern .Manchuria during
the lust fow weeks aro in reality In
tended for service at Harbin.
Nor Is that all. Kruustadt nnd
other tlrst class fortresses are being de
nuded of their heaviest guns, which
aro bleng prepared for shipment to tho
Muuchurluii border, there to be mount
ed at Harbin. It is tho hope ot tho
czar and lits advlseis that tills place
may be mado Impregnable, and the
Japatiesu can bo compiled to extend
their lines over so much tenitory that
they will exhaust themselves guarding
their lines of communication.
It Is certain that General Kuropat
kln's Inslstauce that it is Impossible to
retain control ot Manchutla has had a
painful effect on the czar, who lias
trusted implicitly to Admiral Alexleft.
Thu latter declared that no Japanese
army could ever secure a footing north
of Yulu, but this dream has been dis
pelled and now tho Russian govern
ment Is facing tho fact that tho Japan
ese not only lio obtained a foothold,
but also that their foices arocuunl, If
nut suierlor in numbers, to thu Rus
sians, and at the s-tmo time are much
better equipped. .

as far as Klnehou, and there aro fre
quent gaps iHitwooii Kluuhou and Wn
Fang Ting. There are 16,000 Japanese
troops there, hut no signs of troops fur
ther north. During the lighting nt
Kinchou 200 Chineso wore killed by
the Japanese lire.
I ho very highest Russian authority
here, while not Indlevlng that Port
Arthur wIM fall, ndmlts Its loss would
le a terrible loss to the Russian arms.
The same authority says Russia may
send a laigo army to tho south of Nlu
Chwang In tho event nt General Sloes
sol being able to hold his own at Port
Arthur. This, however, Is not possible
nt present, owing to the positions oc
cupied by the Japanese armlen operat
ing from the Ynlu river and Taku
Shan. Thu Rusilnns are not sanguine
as to the outlook for Port Arthur.

Paris, Juno 3. Tho request of tho
United Mates for tho co-operation -of
Franco in bringing about thu release of
lYrdknris and Vurley has produced a
very favorable impression at the foreign
olllce here, where much significance is
attached to thu request, ns embodying
the first distinct international recog
nition of France's paramount Influence
in Morocco. It Is expected that this
will lead to a moro emphatic exercise
of French authority over Morocco with
the view of suppressing lawlessness and
thu protection of foreigners, but the
nature of thu futuro steps Is not an
nounced pending the negotiations on
the subject.
Ambussador Porter called at tho for

United States Supreme Court Hands
Down Decision.
Washington, Juno 2. Tho supremo
court of tho United States, in an
opinion by Justice White today, uphold
tliu constitutionality of tho oleomargar
ine law. Leo . McKay sued the gov
ernment in tho Southern district of
Ohio, to recover f 60 paid by him ns a
penalty for the sale of n 60 pound pack
age of colored oleomargarine, contain
ing a stamp tax of three-quarters of a
cent n pound instead of 10 cents a
pound.
McRay's counsel argued first, that,
although the "oleo" was colored to
look like butter, the coloi was obtained
by tho usu ot butter, which was Itself
artificially colored, but thu use of
which as an Ingredient In tho manu
facture of "oleo" was authorized by
law; and, second, that tho tax of 10
rents n pound was prolbltivo and eon
flscntory, and an attempted federal
usurpation of tho police owers ot tho
state. The court said tho tax contem
plated thu finished product nnd not tho
details of manufacture. Tho court
therefore ntllrmed tho Judgment ol the
lower court, upholding tho validity ot
tho law ami tho tax.
Tho chief Justice nnd Justices Brown
and Peckharu dissented.
