A despatch to St. Petersburg from Guntzuling, the headquarters of the Russian army in Manchuria, says that the Japanese are concentrating at Lit•ratai, in the Valley of the Rivers Tzin, Khoun, uud Gounian, whence 10,000 of them are advanc- ing in a northerly direction. The Emperor has received the fol- lowing from Gen. Linevitch: "Ad- vanced Russian detachments? on Sun- day, drove back the Japanese from their positions. One detachment in tho 'I'zino Valley occupied the Vil- lage of Lagovtzeakzy; another oper- ated in the direction of Schimiadey, and a third dislodged the Japanese from their position on the south- ward of Mopeyschan. The three I{ussiatr columns drove the Japanese back to their position near Send - jun." Gen. Linevitch also reports the rc- pulso of a detachment of Japanese which was advancing on Kiaujorou- jou, in Corea.

Linevitch is still strengths ping his extreme right. His plan appears to be to divide the Japan- ese into two or more bodies by com- pelling them to devote their atten- tion to their left flank and thus pre- vent ryvent the cutting of the railway Lo- tweets Barbin and Vladivustock. Numbers of Russians aro continu- ally surrendering as outcome of the revolutionary sg•lrit whichasrevaila throughout the army, even among the higher ()thres. This is why Gen. Linevitch will probably assume the offensive. '!'here are skirmishes between rival scouts daily. tho men getting to within fifty yards of each other. Tho most advanced lines on both sides are so irregular and make so many sharp angles that each side is able to menace the 'Henry's rear. ROJE-TVENS KY NEARLY \\'ELL.

Encouraging Results Have Been Obtained With Various Grains. The wheat harvest has been •:om- pleted at the Ontario Agricultural College. The weather conditions of "the past year have been favorable roughout Ontario for the suecess- 1 growth of most of the autunln- �wn crops. 'Ihe brief report here • tose111ed gives' 501110 of the principal results of experiments conducted at the Agricultural College and throughout the province of Ontario. Sixty-one varieties of winter wheat were gr'ownl in the experimental de- , pertinent during the past year.
