Food Supply a Question, GENERAL KUROPATKIN'S HEADQUARTERS IN THE FIELD. The roost Interesting mili tary problaru at la bow largo a Russian army tha railway can sup port lo Manchuria. While the army g south of the Harbin almost all tne necessary food supplies can be obtained iu the country, but the further north It goes the more it must depend on the railway, while at the same time the Japanese will gain advantage by having an In creased area to draw from. The richest section of Manchuria Is the country of which Llao Yang Is the prlnclp.il runnel, and the crops In that section this season re unusua'ly large. Merchants who are acquainted with the country believe that if General Kuropatklu should retreat to llarblu, be must bring neatly every pound of foad by means of the railway, and especially a this year's crop In the Sungarl alley has proved a f I Jure. Resides this, every horse for the Russian commander must be brought over the railway.

Th; ofliclal advices from the fr nt report that all is quiet along the whole line of the oppos'ng forcei. A light Jap'iness m vem n has been observed at Fongl-tipu, abiut sixteen miles fcoutheiist of Mukden, but. three has b 'en nn collision. Tne war ofllce appirmlly does not anticipate right ing ma large scale in the imme diate future. Tbe principal cause nf alartu at. the war nflice Is occasioned by the lack of deSnlte Information regarding the exact whereabouts of Field Marshal's right. The Russian scouts have ht touch lth General Kurokl's main army which may give Increasing Importance to the flank ing movement west under General Oko, which hitherto had been re garded as a feint for the real turnlig movement to strike at General Kuro patkln's Hoe of communications from tho last. It uls) tiny contain thf p tentialitbs of a big surprise. Ten days go Kuropilklu and the war otlice w. rc convinced that the Jaoancsu were concentrating at Siau s han and that an immediate ad vance was Imminent In force. Ac cordingly tbu Russl ins fell bick from the pa-.se of the Da mountain range without o'lering resistance. Rut after several days they suddenly dls covered that the Japanese were not pressing Imw.rd and thereupon the Russian scouts pushed out to ascer tain the cause. They penetrated as far as Sianschao and Stand) r, bring ing bick tbe stattling inteligence that not moie than a brigade of Jap anese troops was there. This forth with was followed up by Important cavalry movements and the reoccu pallon of the Da range passes, but Kurokl's main body was not located. There were no Indication however, that be had succeeded In reaching further eastward, whence he could make a pivot movement agalost the railroad, and consequently it was c mcuded that bis main force must still be between tbe Yental mines and Hens hu, Ave miles east nf Yental station. Io a word, the present advices in dicate that the Japansc preparations are being made more slowly taan supposed. Possibly the delay Is owing to tbelr desire to take advan tage of the fine weather to complete their arrangements f r a long winter campaign before actively resuming tbe otfcuslve. Kuropatkin's plans are carefully guarded. While he Is disposing his forces to lak advantage of ny situ ation that may offer the best opinion Is that lie will not accept a geneia) ergigirncnt but will withdraw to Tlo pass, wbere the buU of his army is uuissed.

The Japanese were shelled out of their position on a hill and suffered heavy l.ss. A they retired the Russians occupied the hill until nightfall, when they too retired unler cover ofdirkness haying lost only three men The Japanese are sending out large par ties of scouts daily with theotject of checking the Russian's continuous raids. Dr. MaivIelT, who was captured by the Japanese at Llao Yant. siys the Japanese are suffering seven ly from dysentery, and that they begged his assistance In combatting the iis- ease. Japanese officers of tbe staff are excellent linguists, and many of them speak English and German, as well as some Russian. Tte Japan ese army is living almost entirely on rice and pres rved foods, but Is comfortaby equipped, many oft cers even having aim chairs among their baggage. Tbe principal Japanese fear is for forage for their horses, for during the winter tbe c uutry Is swept clean for many miles on each side of the railroad and tbe inhabi tants are reluctant to sell anything. Meanwhile both belligerents are strongly endeavoring to gain an ad vantage between the Tumen tlver and Gensan. Want a Slice of Kansas.
