TRIUMPH OF RUSSIA
China Giving Her All That
She Demands.
AND ENGLAND DOES NOT OBJECT
Severe Defeat Of British Troops by
Indian Observation-Disclosures Men
and Five Omcers Killed.

London, Feb. Ia dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Shanghai says a secret
dispatch has been issued by the tsung-
li-yamen to certain high officials, in
forming them that Russia warned
China that if Kiao Chou were granted
to Germany, Russia would demand
either fallen Wan or Port Arthur.
According to the same dispatch, it is
asserted at Shanghai on good authority
that China consents to have Russians
at the head of her customs and rail-
ways.
At the present moment, says the
Daily Nails correspondent, there are
10000 Russian troops in fallen Wan
and Port Arthur. Russian agents
have been sent to Tien Tsin (the port
of Peking) and to Japan to purchase
coal and food. 5000 bags of which have
been bought at Tien Tsin.
The Daily Mail says it learns from
source hitherto accurate" that China
is inclined to make the best possible
bargain with Russia, whose diplomacy
appears to have triumphed at Peking,
England having resolved not to force a
conflict by further opposing Russia's
claims at Port Arthur and the Lao
Tung peninsula. Japan, says the same
authority, has been thrown into state
of CONSERVATION by the British back
down, and has shown a more friendly
attitude toward Russia. This state
ment, however, the Daily Mail admits,
Is Incredible and probably bluff
with view of forcing England to take
decided steps, The Daily Mail coun-
sells its readers not to be alarmed.
The Odessa correspondent of the
Times says volunteer feet will convey
in the quickest possible time over 49,
600 Russians to the far East. The first
cruiser, with 1900 men, will leave
within few days.

British Troops Suffer Heavy Loss.


colt telegraphs from Camp Mammami
that the fourth brigade became en-
tangled in a gorge near Shin Kumar-
Kotilla yesterday and suffered serious
losses. Lieutenant Colonel Houghton,
Lieutenants Sweing, Dowdall, Hughes,
Walker, together with 15 men of the
Yorkshire light infantry, and three
Sikhs were killed. Major Earle, Lieu
tenant Hall, 81 men of the Yorkshires
and two Sikhs were wounded, Major
Earle severely, and IL Yorkshires are
missing.
It appears that combined move
ment was planned to cut off the retreat
of number of Afridis, who had been
driving their cattle to Craze upon the
Kaiurai plain, west of Bara fort. Two
columns marched from Ali Musjid,
and Jamrud to block the way north;
third column form Bara marched west
ward over the plains toward the hills,
while a fourth, consisting Of the York
shire regiment and regiment OF
Sikhs, advanced from Mammami, with
view of getting to the rear OF the
Afridis and preventing their escape.
The first three columns performed
their allotted duties without loss, meet
ing with very few of the enemy. The
fourth, under Colonel T. ]. Seppings,
left Mammami early Saturday morning.
The leading troops reached Shin
Kumar-Kotila at 1880.
Finding no opposition, Colonel
Houghton, with the Sikhs, proceeded
about mile to search the caves. On
the arrival of the main body at Kotala
company Of Sikhs had been with
drawn from the high ridge from the
west, the key to the position, which
the enemy forthwith took possession
OF. To retake it involved heavy losses.
Lieutenant Dowdall was killed while
charging at the pass. The enemy's
losses were severe, as they charged
within 80 yards to the troops.
About midday the troops began to
return to the camp, the enemy harass-
ing the rear guard, and left. and caus-
ing many casualties. The rear column
cleared the pass about O'Clock, with
the assistance of General Westmacott,
who came up with two guns and 400
rifles, on receiving Colonel Sepping's
message that the force had become en-
tangled. The retreat was conducted
admirably, the officers speaking in the
highest terms Of the gallantry OF the
troops. Colonel Houghton's body has
been recovered, and searching bodies
have started for the others.
The column has been reinforced by
825 men from Bara. General Sir
Power Palmer, who succeeded Sir Will
liam Lockhart in the command, il pre-
pairing to make reprisals.

The Orleans family in Frarce has
always been famous for it's small econ
omies. King Louis Philippe was
sneered at In his time as a man who
counted his pennies" His descend
ants also have the reputation OF being
penurious in the use OF their ample
wealth. The head of the house is the
Due d'Orleans, who would be king IL
the monarchy were restored. His re-
cent manifesto respecting the Drey-
fus affair confirms the popular view
or the family failing. Instead of send
ing it to the headquarters of his party
in Paris by a messenger empowered
to have it printed as a poster and pla-
carded where every one could see II.
he put 1T in In ordinary envelope and
posted it by mail at the expense of
five cents without warning his agents
by telegraph of his intentions. In
consequence OF his bad management
the manifesto was only placarded in
a few places. and was laughed at
wherever 1t was read. He was ridi-
cuIed by the boulevard wits as q pre-
tende%~. who could not afford to spend
more than q fiye-cent stamp ever when
a throne was in sight. There was the
same kind OF wit in Louis PHILIPPINES
time. The blind beggar. into whose
hat the smallest French coin was
thrown by a ~bystander, exclaimed:
That must have been an Dreams
prince!' All Paris was stirred with
merriment when the story was told in

A CRIME AGAINST HEALTH.
The Use Of Alum In Food.

Recent investigation shows that tn
stores are largely stocked with bakint
powders which contain alum, the in.
Jor.ous Ingredient which the Iowa and
Minnesota State Boards Of Health have
so strongly condemned. England, Ger.
many and France have laws prohibit
ing the use of alum IN bread, and the
States OF Minnesota and Wisconsin
forbid baking powder containing alum
TO be put upon the market unless the
words this baking powder contains
alum are printed upon the label or
every package offered for sale. This
is the danger signal which the law
throws out for the protection OF the
people. Yet many OF the makers OF
alum baking powders such as the
Calumet" while keeping away from
Minnesota and Wisconsin, have the
~effrontery to offer their condemned
powders to here. These
alum powders are frequently labeled
pure" best in the world" none so
good" or with some other equally mis-
leading catch phrase.
