st. Petersburg, June 2S.-The en-
peror has received the following dis
patch from General Kuropatkin, dated
Liaoyang. June II: ,-.,.
1.-THE Japanese attacked our forces
occupying Molten, Fenshui and Ia
passes June 26. Our infantry and cay
airy retreated, persuaded that the ad-
vancing divisions of the Japanese
army, which were operating against
each of the three passes, were strong
er than our detachments. In the at.
tack on Ia pass the Japanese guards,
besides other regiments, participated.
The Japanese made a frontal and flank
| attack in considerable force on both
sides of this position. The Japanese
troops occupied Fenshui and Molten
passes during the morning of June e..
"Our forces, which retreated from
Fenshui, were attacked by small dc.
tachments of Japanese They were,
however, easily repulsed.
After pushing back our advance
guard during the evening of June rs
from Vandiahudze ION the Siuyen-
Haicheng load) to Ia pass the Jap
anese continued their advance this
morning against our position in de-
file For some time the attack of the
japanese infantry brigade was re.
| PEELED. Three battalions were engaged
| in the frontal attack. But, being
menaced by other troops engaged In a
| fanking movement, our forces re-
treated.
Accommodating parties report that
one portion of the Southern Japanese
army is moving northeastward with
the intention of joining General Ku.
roki's force.
"At noon today our cavalry was hot
ly engaged near Senuchen.
"All the reports of, the last few days
state that the forces Of Japanese ar
rayed against our Manchurian army
consist of eight or nine infantry divi-
sions and several brigades of reserves.
which also occupy positions In the
fighting line"
Molten pass and Fenshui pass are
about due east Of Liaoyang. Ia pass
is midway between and north of Mo-
tien and Fenshui passes and Is be-
tween Liaoyang and Mukden and about
seventy-five miles from the railroad
connecting Liaoyang and Mukden. 1t
will thus be seen that the Japanese
forces, which have occupied the passes
mentioned, are turning the left flank
of the Russian position at Liaoyang
and are threatening the railroad con

TURKEY DAY NEAR AT HAND
Scarcity of Wild Game Commented on
BY Old Citizen

Two weeks from yesterday is
Thanksgiving. Already the thrifty
housewife is making preparations for
the big annual feast. In keeping with
the time-honored custom, turkey will
be the piece de resistance at the
spreads in which expense is not con-
sidered. A good sized turkey nova
days costs nearly as much as half a
dozen chickens, however, and most
people would just as soon eat fried or
baked chicken anyway.
An old resident, one of the pioneers
of the city, recalls how plentiful wild
turkeys and other game used TO be in
the early days of Rock Island. 1T was
a poor table indeed that could not sport
a game dinner at that time in Rock
island Falling into a reminiscent
mood. the aged settler told how cheap
and easy it was to get game of all
kinds in his youth.
I'm those days the surrounding coun.
try was still full of game. Wild tur-
keys, pheaSantS, prairie chickens and
quails were commoner than ordinary
chickens are now, and besides there
were plenty of deer and other such
game. AT Thanksgiving time the mar
kets were always loaded with game
and it was cheap. have seen quail
and prairie chickens shipped out by
the barrel full and at prices that
would make your mouth water nova
days.
In the woods the gobble of the wild
turkey was frequently heard. Just be
fore Thanksgiving there was an exodus
lof hunters to the thick woods where
they roasted. Early in the evening OF
on moonlight night was the time tC
Igo after them, and a careful hunter
had no trouble in getting all the birds
he could carry once he caught sight OF
"a flock
Il remember the boys used to have
an easy time bagging prairie chickens
with their old muZZle-loading shot
Iguns. They stood at point of van
Itage and shot the birds as they flew
Ihomeward from their feeding grounds
in the river bottoms, and some of the
boys came home loaded down.
Prairie chickens have long since
been killed off in this locality, and Sc
would quails if they had not been pro
ltected by the game law. Wild turkeys
have gone the way of prairie chickens

The Time to Hustle.

Cleveland Press: Now that the cleo
ton is over, let's forget the animosi-
ties and differences of the campaign
and get down to business.
There's plenty of business. to be at
tended to. Never before in this coun-
trys history was there more. Laying
political disputes aside and looking
only at material conditions. this coun-
try never had more promising period
than that which is at hand. The bust.
ness situation is sound and bright in
almost every aspect The crops of the
year have prospered decidedly and the
harvests are bountifui. The yield of
corn is estimated at 100000, 900 bush
els. which is 10 per cent more than that
of last year. The wheat crop is esti-
mated at 551 100000 bushels-an
amount beyond the comprehension of
the ordinary intellect. The oats crop
of SS7, 600. 900 bushels is just about 100
0OO, 900 more than that of last year.
The aggregate bulk yield of all grains
crops reported is about Z per cent more
THAN last year The south, thanks to
| its enormous profit on its last cotton
crop, has more money than ever before
in its history.
The activity of the market for rail
road and other shares quoted on the
stock exchange was entirely unprece
denied last month, in the face of q
presidential election.
The October bank clearings, indicat
| ing the relative volume of business
activity, showed remarkable gains
when compared with the statistics fol
| October of last year.
The improvement in the iron anC
steel trade has shown the rapid ad
vance in the price of shares of the
United States Steel corporation anC
other large companies.
Business conditions in almost ever!
line of production, commerce and fin
ance are better than ever before il
modern times. Golden Opportunitie:
are ripe for every hand that is skilled
to pluck them.
| The political dispute has been decid
ed. Let's get off the fence and get t.
work.

II is said that Admiral ROjestvensky
has been promoted and also that his
commanders of the volunteer ships
which were compelled to cease their
operations by the protest of Great Brit
ain have been thanked for their ser
vices. If these reports are true they
indicate that the Russian government
has no intention of humiliating its ma
val commanders because their conduct
has brought about complications with
Great Britain. and further that il is
entirely satisfied with their conduct
AS far as Rojestvensky is concerned
the Russian government is evidently
determined TO accept TO the full his
report of the North sea trouble. and
TO endeaver TO prove the case before
the international tribunal as he has
presented it. This of course was TO
be expected. but the government must
be absolutely sure that no error was
made by its admiral if il really has
promoted him at this time.
