A de•spatell from Tokio says: -Thep official despatches on Thursday give the first. notice of a Russian offensive' movement since the lighting at Tiel- ing. A force of cavalry, with machine and mountain guns, moved south Monday from '1'awo on the Feng'.wa road, and the next morning began a bombardment of the .Japan- ese advanced position at Kiukiatun. north of hairnet. Simultaneously a largo force of infantry advanced along the main Chnngchun road, while two other columns delivered flank attacks. The Russians reached within 400 metres of the Japanese wings. The fighting Tasted all day Tuesday. The Japanese, although nearly surrounded, finally repulsed the enemy, losing 27 killed or wounded. The Russian casualties. es- timating from the number of ambu- lances. were about 200. The Kokumin states that a Japan- ese squadron is now blockading %'lad- ivostock, RUSSIAN VICTORY. A despatch to the Russian War Office from Chief of Staff Ka.rkev'itch, dated Thursday, says that a Russian detachment attackled a force of Jap- anese infantry about live milen from Kiltchjiou (Kilju), and that the Jap- anese were dislodged from two posi- tions and dispersed by the Itus pian lire and Cossacks' attack. READY FOR BATTLE. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Times says there is Z good reason to believe that Gen. Linevitch intends to make a stand much further south than has been supposed. He has sent 50,000 troops to hole] Kirin, and with the remain- ing 2541,04)0 of his array is entrench- ed at Swantsanhei, halfway between Mukden and I)wangehentise. lie is aetride the railway. his troops form- ing a crescent with the horses point- ing north. The Russians are devas- tating the country in order to imp pede the Japanese advance. It is re- ported o-ported that tho Japanese are march- ing on '1'sitsihar. Official circles in St. Petersburg are unreservedly warlike, but a great ma- jority of the Russians continue to oppose the war. 'I'ho peace sentiment is particularly strong in Moscow and the provinces. TOKIO REJOICES. A despatch from Tokio says: -Tho profits from the tobacco monopoly for the first year are 20,000,000 yen (about $13,500,000).

'1'he total number of appli- cations filed so far waft between :30,- 000 and 40,000, and 11,800 cortetl- catee for land had leen issued. The locations under the Act, numbered some 4,000, and about 1,000 more were now being located in the new townships surveyed in New Ontario. Mr. Foy deferred answer to Mr. Munro's question as to the Govern- ineet's intention in regard to legisla- tion amending the Act so tbat vol- unteers who were enrolled for active service in 1866, but not detailed for duty on the frontier, will be entitled to grants.

WHY THERE ARE SLAYERS 01 GRAND DUKES. A Young Pole's Ghastly Spectacle Upon Returning From College. Many people regard Anarchists and Nihilists as one and tho sante type; others think a Nihilist is a Russian anarchist. Both are wrong. An Anarchist is a disciple of the creed which wants no government of any sort whatever, which advocates an absence of law and order generally. A Nihilist is, broadly speaking, a person who. while acknowledging the necessity for representative govern- ment, repudiates the whole existing organisation of society, and insists on a redistribution of property - especially of land -on equal terms. There are a great many British Ni- hilists -only they are not called Ni- hilists in this country, but Social- ists. Nihilists are usually associ- ated with Russia because in that country then! who believe in a soci- alistic creed resort to greater vio- lence than Nihilists of other coun- tries, and, consequently, make them- selves more conspicuous in the eyes of the world. In this country they aro allowed to talk se much as they like, and they are not harassed and persecuted. But in Russia they are so carefully watched by the police and so ruth- lessly punished for the slightest of- fence that their hatred for the weal- thy classes becomes it hundredfold deeper than it does here. The re- sult is that at intervals ono of their number is selected to kill one of their oppressors. THE GItANLI DUKE SERGIUS was the last victim. What gave birth to this deadly hat- red? Who was the first Nihilist? How and where did Nihilism first start?
