What the Saloon Does.

The other day we saw an old man pushed
out and staggering from the door OF sa'
loon. He stumbled off the sidewalk, ana,
pavement, and iay stunned and bleeding
until some passers-by picked him up and
carried him across the street. Of course
he was drunk, and probably disagreeable,
and presumably had spent all his money,
and SO he was pat out as an undesirable
guest. The saloon keeper had his money
and was through with the man until he
sobcred up and had some more money. As
he came, pitched out from that, den OF
iniquity, he was fit sample of the, work
done within. He illustrated what the sa'
loon does, in the long run, for those who
make it their Headquarters.

Getting Too Near Home.

A Yorkshire Socialist, explaining 10
friend the principles Of Socialism, re.
marked that all possessions should. be
shared equally. If you had two
horses" said the friend, would you
give me one? "Of course" replied
the Socialist. "And if you had two
COWS, would you do the same" '"Of
course I should" well, supposlng
now," said the friend, slowly, you
had two pigs, would you give me one"
"Eh, tha's gettin' over near home,"
said the other slyly; "tha knows I've
got two pigs."-V. c. '.

RAID BY VLADIVOSTOCK SQUADRON
AND CONSTANT FIGHTING ON LAND

Following is a summary of war
news for the week ending Saturday,
June 18th:
The rigid censorship over dispatches
from the seat of war for several days
before June 10th, made 1t almost i'm
possible for one to keep minutely in
formed of the movements of the bel
ligerents.
This censorship was broken by the
important events resulting in a Jap
anese victory on the Lao Tung penin-
sula and when a successful sortie had
been made by the Russian Vladivos-
tok squadron. AS it was evident that
a Russian force had been dispatched
to harass General Oku's rear and
hamper him in his operations against
Port Arthur. the Japanese, instead of
waiting for the Russians to attack
them in their entertainments across
the narrow part of the Lao Tung Pc
ninsula. sent some three or four diyis-
ions north to attack the Russians. The
engagement took place at Vafangow.
about eighty-five miles north of Port
Arthur and not far from Foo Chou.
The battle seems to have begun on
June 18th, when the japanese began
developing the Russian force. This
was continued on June 14th. when
both armies maneuvered for position.
On June 18th the Russians seem to
have taken the offensive and attempt
ed to envelop the Japanese right.
which, however. they were unable to
turn The japanese. meanwhile, had
assembled number of troops. prob
ably two divisions, on the Russians
light, and on June 18th the main at
tack was made and the Russians rout-
ed Again the excellent information
of the Japanese as to the enemy's
number and position was shown to be
accurate and that of the Russians de
ficient Also the tactical handling of
the japanese troops, especially their
artillery arm, was marked. The artil-
lery arm of the Japanese in each of
their three great fights has given them
an overwhelming advantage, due to its
efficiency and handling. In each in
stance the japanese artillery has been
massed and all pieces available
brought into action at the earliest pos
sible moment, while the Russians. ap-
parently still sticking to the old re-
serve artillery notion, have their bat
teries scattered. and good many
pieces which might have been brought
up are held back. Also from a strate-
gic standpoint the japanese in each
engagement had put more men in
given place than their opponents. thus
carrying out the saying of one of our
old United States commanders that
strategy was getting the mostest men
there firstest."
The situation on the Lao Tung pc
ninsula and Manchuria is thought to be
about as follows at present: General
Stakelberg. with probably $4,000 or 30
coo men, after being defeated at Va
fangow, is retreating northward, ex-
pecting to be attacked at any time on
his flank by detachment of General
Kuroki's troops. Reinforcements are
being sent to General Stakelberg from
Lao Yang by General Kuropatkin to
guard against his possible annihilation.
Meanwhile the Russians at Lao Yang

Sinking of Transports.

st. Petersburg, June 20.-Emperor
Nicholas has received the following dis
patch dated June 18th from Vice Ad-
miral Skrydloff:
"On June 18th our cruiser division
encountered in the strait of Korea a
Japanese transport steamer from the
south in the direction of the Japanese
coast, which was visible on the hori-
Zon. The vessel proved to be the
lzumi with troops on board.
"On the expiration of the time given
those on board to lower boats and leave
the ship. permission to do which was
taken advantage of by part of the crew,
the transport was sunk by our guns.
shortly afterward two more trans
ports were sighted to the southeast.
They proved to be the Hitachi and the
Sado. the former with troops. and the
latter carrying coolies. horses and a
railway plant The transports refused
to surrender and at the end of the per-
iod granted those on board to take to
the boats, the two vessels Were sunk by
torpedoes and shells.
THE losses on the three transports.
the tonnage of which aggregated about
10, 900 tons. consisted of a portion of
the troops and crews, large quantity
of war material. and the railway plant.

Miners Returning to Telluride.

Denver, June 20.-A News special
from Ouray last night says: Reports
to-day are to the effect that no less
than twenty of the deported miners
from Telluride have left Ouray within
the past forty-eight hours to return
to Telluride. Two of the six who left
here Saturday morning are reported to
have been roughly handled when they
reached there and driven out of town.
Three others are reported to be in
Telluride unmolested. 1t comes on
good authority that orders have been
received from headquarters by the
miners union here not to allow any
more of the deported men to attempt
to return to Telluride until further
orders are received.

and Mukden are afraid that General
kuroki will move to their rear and cut
OFF their retreat to Harbin, and they are
eXerting themselves to stop this by
making strong intrenchments to the
east of Mukden.
The japanese near Vafangow are fol-
lowing the retreating Russians with a
part of their forces, probably 10000,
while the remainder. probably 10000,
have stopped at Vafangow ready to re-
inforce their pursuing force If neces-
sary. A Japanses force from General
Kuroki's army is undoubtedly march
ing to intercept General Stakelberg.
This move is made, probably, with the
hope that General Kuropatkin will send
such a number of troops south from
Lao Yang as to weaken himself ct
those places. in which case General
kuroki viii attack the main Russian po-
sitions at Lao Yang and Mukden, and
in case he can get in the Russian rear
Kuropatkin's army will be enveloped
on three sides, south, east and north,
by superior Japanese army. in which
case the Russians will either have to
literally cut their way out, whip kuro-
Xxi. be annihilated or surrender The
two last seem most probable. as Ku-
roki, with the 10000 japanese troops
over 220,0 900 men, while the Russians
have not to exceed 10000 that can be
brought to bear. The Russian position
in Manchuria is considered more criti-
cal at this time than ever before. In
the vicinity of Port Arthur, due TO re-
Inducements which have been poured
into the Japanese lines during the last
week, General Oku has probably $4,000
men in addition to those sent north.
The siege is being vigorously pushed
by land and sea, probably with success,
as liberal preparations in men and
guns have been made. while the feet
co-operates from the sea under COM
mand of Admiral Togo.
During the past week no naval en-
counters have occurred between war
vessels. The Russian Vladivostok
squadron, with three fast cruisers and
some torpedo boat destroyers. has made
a successful raid and has sunk two of
the best Japanese transports. loaded
with many tons of supplies. and with
loss of life of approximately 1000 men.
These transports were encountered by
the Russians near the Oki islands.
which lie between the straits of Shi-
monoseki and Korea. Due to dense fogs
prevailing in these parts. the japanese
squadron under Admiral Iriu has been
unable up to this time to intercept
them. The transports sunk were each
of about 5000 tons displacement, and
are said to have belonged to the Japa-
nese Toyo Kisen, Kaisha Steamship
Company. The raid of the Vladivostok
ships has been one of the most daring
acts of the Russians since the begin
ming of the war. As soon as the devel-
opments on the Lao Tunk peninsula
and Manchuria will permit, the Japa-
nese will undoubtedly send force to
Possiet bay to isolate Vladivostok and
March to Harbin. In anticipation of
this move. the commanding officer at
Vladivostok has ordered all non-com-
batants away. AS affairs stand now, it
looks dark for the Russians
