st. Petersburg, June 17.-Emperor
Nicholas has received the following
dispatch, dated June Is, from General
Kuropatkin:
IAN engagement occurred June IA

with Japanese force numbering at
least two divisions. Our losses in

Eastern Siberian rifles, and Second
Lieutenant Dragoslaff Nadochinsky,
ed include Major General Gerngross,
who remained on the field, and Cap

wounded, besides 81 soldiers, of which
the First regiment of Siberian rifles
lost IL officers and 200 men and the
First brigade of artillery officers and
SO men.
''The following night was quiet until
2 in the morning, when fuSillade be-
gan on our right flank, along the line
of our outposts. The firing soon slack
ened. At $3.50 in the morning the Jap
anese artillery opened on our left
flank. Shortly before this our cavalry
discovered on our right flank the pres
ence southwark of Tafanchou of
Considerable Force of the Enemy.
The Japanese infantry opened fire on
our cavalry occupying the heights be-
tween Tafanchou and I4inchou, on the
edge of a wood. Towards $50 the en-
envy, consisting of regiment of infaG
try with artillery, attacked from those
woods. At the same time the cannon
ade on our left flank became heavier.
At $50 General Baron Stakelberg
passed with part of his forces to the
attack, turning the right flank of the
enemy, towards Wafangtien and Sun
chou. and directing the other part of
his force against the enemys front.
Towards ID in the morning the enemy
sent brigade of infantry, cavalry and
a battery of artillery against our right
flank and, having repulsed our detach-
ments of cavalry, proceeded through
Hunchou. turning the right flank of our
position.
General Stakelberg, at 1890 in the
evening, advanced his reserves to
check this movement. According to in
formation received the enemy, during
the morning of June Is, brought up
considerable reinforcements and. as
the main Japanese force consists of
upwards of three diyisions------'

Bearmouth is in Red Lodge county

a small station and was probably

from any large settlement. The train
that was held up is the one that is

on the Japanese side are estimated at
1000 men killed and wounded.
Washington, June 1.-THE Japan
ese legation has received the follow
ing cablegram from Toxic:
General Oku reports that on June
ii our main body advanced northward
in two columns along the railway, ex-
polling the enemy from the east of
Wafangtien. At p. m. the enemy
made stand on the railway line be-
tween Lungwangmiao and Tafangshen
and, after two hours cannonading, we
occupied at nightfall the line between
Pangchiaton and Yusoton. Another
column, for menacing the enemys
right and covering our flank and rear,
marched eastward of Foochow and ad-
vanced upon the line between Teng-
chiakow and Nachiating. The enemy
near Lungwangmiao was reinforced.
On June Is the enemy near Telissu
consisted of two and half divisions,
occupying the position between Ia
fangshen and Chengtsushan.
"At dawn we opened attack and our
main body advanced along the rail
way, one column marching from
Tsouchiaton.
AT 9 a. m. the left wing of the col
umn was joined by the forces from
Tungtungkow and at noon by cavalry
from Chiachaton. Thus the enemy
was surrounded by our forces near Te-
lissu and, after, severe fighting, they
were routed and fled northward at 3
p. m. Our losses are estimated under
1000. So far as known we captured
colors, fourteen quickfirers and about

sof the Fourth infantry regiment of

others with graphing hooks in their

Q man in one of the weird looking suits
would slip over the side of tug and

child in his rubber coated arms. The

The political pot is beginning to
boil and the parties are lining up for
battle. So far nothing has been done
in the direction of harmony in the
Republican party but it is to be hoped
that they will get together soon and
fix up one ticket. The bone of con-
tention seems to be over the nomi-
nation for Governor and when this is
solved, the rest of the ticket could be
patched up quickly. The majority
faction should have the right to first
choice and considering that they have
offered all the offices on the state
ticket with the exception of three to
the Regulars, it would seem that they
have made a magnanimous offer, but
Notwithstanding this there should be
some compromise in the interest of
harmony and that without delay. The
coming week may give some develop
ments in this direction.

EDITOR Wilson NJ. Tyler of the Eas-
ton (Md.) Gazette is publishing good
clean newspaper and its moral tone
may be appreciated when it gives ut
terance to the following: "For twenty
years no whiskey advertisement has
appeared in its columns-not that said
columns we're sacred as church pews-
but because we did not want to faunt
the ugly cOrkscrew ads before the
public at so much per line. We have
returned checks and turned down
enough business to pay rent, all of
which would have come from the deal
ers IN liquid tombstones, but we re-
fused. No credit to us; we care not
for the credit, are not henkering after
any more credit accounts, have too
many already; but we took a natural
dislike to whlskey ads and turned
them down. We stood alone in Tai
bot. The other righteous journals
here paid their devils with good money
from these ads. Whiskey is one of
that sort of critters which will go
without being advertised. And the
fellows who try to keep up with it are
apt to go too. All they need is little
time-and very little, and whiskey
will do the rest"
Now the Easton Ledger recently
purchased from the Haddoways by
Price and Pardee of Centrevllle has
announced it's intention of following
atthe same course of the Gazette. The
founder of the TINES has long since
been in the class of the Gazette and
Ledger and he looks back upon his
business record of so years with con-
siderable pride. The papers of the
Peninsula could accomplish a great
deal of good if they would stick to-
gether in matters of this kind.

Those early birds, out for the worm,
known as factory whistles, have forced
themselves before the people without
regard to friend or foe, by their inces-
SAINT blowing in the early hours when
slumber is most sweet. The papers
have all had a whack at them, but the
papers are kind compared with the
irate public. Of course the factories
have a right to blow. Did any one
ever dispute that? When boy buys
q tin whistle does he blow it for the
purpose of giving the whistle solemn
funeral of its own? No, he prefers to
to force funeral on to the other fell
low. He has q right to blow, and
blow, until his head comes off If he
wants to, the whistle is "hisen." Let
the County Commissioners, the Town
authorities. or the neighbors protest if
they dare, he will assert his rights and
blow the harder, until something
breaks-then the toy will be discarded.
Give any calf full liberty and it will
kill itself. The best way to stop these
morning glories from blooming in ones
ears, is to urge them on praise their
dulcet tnotes--create competition among
their sonorous pipes until they blast
ali the blasted steam out of their lungs
before time for work, and then the
bosses will issue orders to save that
steam for legitimate use, and the town
will once more be quiet-in the morn

AN ELECTION TRICK.
One Sample of the DOdges to Which
They Resort In England.


Canon ]. George Tetley tells the fol-
lowing story of the late Justice Den
man. who in 1865 ran for election at
Tiverton, in England. He was adver-
tised to address the electors on a GER
tain morning. In order to fulfill his
engagement it was necessary for him
to leave by the 9:15 express. He had
taken the precaution of ordering a cab
overnight and was quietly eating an
early breakfast when attention was
called to two or three men who seemed
to be hanging about in the neighbor-
hood of his house. He thought little.
however. of the matter, but presently
sent his servant to put his luggage ON
the cab, which was due to arrive The
cab approached the door. but before
the pOrtmanteau could be located one
of the mysterious strangers jumped in
and was driven rapidly away.
And when this happened a second
time it became evident that something
very definite was intended. So Mr..
Denman consulted his watch, and. di-
recting his luggage to be sent after
him, he buttOEed his coat and, calling
to his aid all his old Cambridge train
ing, took a bee line for the station. He
met not one empty cab till too near the
terminus to be of any service to him.
He dashed through the booking Of
fee" on to the platform. seized the han
die of a carriage door as the train was
actually starting and flung himself into
a compartment
On arriving at Tiverton he found his
committee in state of extreme anx-
iety which gave place to astonishment
and relief on his appearance, for the
walls of the town were covered with
placards warning the Liberal electors
that their candidate would not keep
his engagement to address them.
