Japanese Defeat Mixed Russian Force
in Two-Hour Fight

TOKYO, June 3. noOn.-A body of Jap
anese encountered and defeated a
mixed force of Russian cavalry, infantry
and artillery near Lichaton, nine miles
north of Polandien, on Monday last, May
80.
The engagement began at 1890 pm.
and lasted for two hours the Russian
troops being finally driven northward.
The Japanese had twenty-six men killed
including one officer, and thirty-seven
wounded, including four officers.
The movement of the Russian forces
southwark indicates possible effort to
relieve Port Arthur. The Russian loses
are unknown.
The fighting reported from Tokyo as hav-
ing occurred near Lichaton, nine miles
north of Polandien, on Monday last" is
evidently Identical with the engagement re-
reported from Liao-Yang, May 80 by a
correspondent of the Associated Press as
having occurred at Vagenfuchu (possibly
near WafanKtien). which is about nine
miles north of Polandien, on the Liao-Tung
peninsula. 1t was In this engagement that
the Cossacks under General Samsonoff were
reported to have annihilated a squadron of
Japanese. The Japanese were commanded
by General Akkiana.

Twelve Years Ago.


It will be remembered that in the commit
tee on resolutions the conservatives carried
their point. A tariff plank was reported as
follows:
I'VE reiterate the 0ft-repeated doctrines
of the democratic party that the necessity
of the government is the only justification
for taxation, and whenever tax Is unnec-
essary 1t Is unjustifiable: that when custom
house taxation is levied upon articles OF
any kind produced In this country the dlf,
ference between the cost of labor here and
labor abroad, when such difference exists,
fully measures any possible benefits to Ia
Dor and the enormous additional impositions
of the existing tariff fall with crushing
force upon our farmers and worixingmen.
and, for the mere advantage of the few
whom 1t enriches, exact from labor gross
. ly unjust share of the expenses of the gov
ernment; and we demand such revision of
the tariff laws as will remove their iniqui-
tous Inequalities, tighten their expressions
! and put them on constitutional and equf-
table basis.
not proposed to injure any domestic indus
tries but rather to promote their healthy
growth. From the foundation of this gov
ernment taxes collected at the custom
house have been the chief source of fed
eral revenue. Such they must continue
to be.
Moreover, many industries have come TO
relic upon legislation for successful contin-
at every stey regardful of the labor and
capital thus involved. The process of re-
form must be subject in the execution to
this plain dictate of justice"
Senator Germans recent Maryland tariff
plank Is an echo of that cautious declara-
tion Now, that was the recommendation
of the committee on resolutions. 1t was
brought into the convention at the night
session. The free traders were wild with
anger. They said these conservatives were
republicans masquerading as democrats.
They brought In minority report and
fought for IT bitterly on the floor.
Free Traders Won.
BY a vote of 564 to 342 the free traders
carried their point, howled out the con-
servatives and the following tariff plank
was adopted:
We denonnce the republican protection
as a fraud, robbery Of the great majority
OF the American people for the benefit of
the few. We declare 1t to be a fundamental
principle of the democratic party that the
federal government has no constitutional
