RUSSIANS OPENED
 FIRE ON THE LAPS
THEY WERE ANSWERED BY TOR PEDOES AND FLED BEHIND HILLS, LEAVING MANY WOUND ED ON THE FIELD.

Washington, April 2s-The following cablegram from Tokio has been received by the Japanese minister here: ''The commander of the Japanese naval de- tachment sent to the Yalu river reports that the detachment arrived on the 18th at the mouth of the Yalu and while ascening the river the Russian artillery fired upon the detachment from the bank opposite Yongampo but without effect.
 Russian cavalry appeared at the delta of the river, but retreated upon being fired upon by the Japanese naval detach- ment. About 100 Russian cavalrymen fired upon the Japanese steam launches, whereupon the Japanese torpedo boats answered and the enemy fled behind the hills, leaving many wounded. There were no casualties on either side. About D. m. on the 26th, the enemy again fired up on the Japanese from the direction of Antung. The Japanese replied and the Russians were sllenced after about an hours fighting The Japanese sustained no loss"

St. Louis, April 28.-The local forecaster of the NUnited States weather bureau announced today from present indications the rise of the Mississippi river at St. Louis would not exceed a stage of 34 feet. The river has reached 33.4 and is rising slowly.

Venice having spread the water over a large area and removed the danger of the flood forcing the embankments protect ing valuable property in that vicinity. The area inundated consists of farm lands, the inhabitants having left their homes when the danger of a flood was first reported.

AGREEMENTS REACHED.
NeIsons Are to Get $775,000 of the
 Fair Millions.

New York, April 2S.-It has just been learned that the terms of final settlement between the Fair estate and the heirs of Mrs. Charles Fair will entail a total pay ment to the Nelson's of New Jersey rep resenting Mrs. Fairs family of nearly $7750O0, exclusive of personal property es- timated to be worth $50,000 or $60OOO.
 It is understood, says the American, that the Nelsons have accepted $250.000 in cash as a compromise for their claims, and that the battle for the Fair millions is ended. Besides this sum they will event. ually receive approximately SlOOOO0 ad- ditonal. As they received S425,000 in Sep tember. 1902, their total inheritance amounts to nearly S775,000.
 This final settlement is in accordance with an iron bound agreement which the Nelsons have signed not to offer any further obstacle to a complete and final settlement
 According to the same authority the James G. Fair millions will be distrib- uted togther with the Charles Fair estate in San Francisco within two weeks. Mrs Oelrichs will leave for San Francisco this week to join her sister Mrs w. K Vanderbilt, Jr
 By the terms of the settlement it is said Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Oelrichs will receive about $2.0000O0 each from the estate of their brother. They will at the same time receive some $S,000000 from the James G. Fair estate, which would have gone to their brother, Charles, who was killed with his wife while automo- billing in France.

Has Decided on Man.

Who are you going to appoint as your successor as deputy insurance commis- sioner2 was asked of N. R. McDavid, the newly appointed secretary of state, today.
 T have decided to appoint one man; that is, l have decided to offer the place to one person, but l do not care to make known his name at present. l will not receive applications for the place."
 MT. McDavid said that A. c. Sexton, who is now chief clerk, will be retained. J. T. Hefln, who resigned as secretary of state, says about the governors ap- pointee:
 The people will find in MT. McDavid a courteous, kind and faithful official. l told the governor l would not endorse any man that would disturb MT. McDavid or MT. Sexton in the positions they hold. They are two as worthy and faithful men as ever held positions in anybody's office. The governor has an affection for both Mir. McDavid and MT. Sexton and from my conversation with him I was satisfied that nothing would happen that would cause them to lose their positions In the office of secretary of state. One of the best men applying was c. F. Brooks of Lowndes and I am inclined to the opinion had not the governor appoint- ed MT. McDavid he would have appoint ed MT. Brooks.
 ''The new field to which my party has called me-" said Mir Heflin, will remove me from the pleasant association with the peoples faithful officials at the cap fol and the good people of Montgomery In retiring from the office of secretary of state l wish to express my sincere thanks to the democrats of Alabama for their support of me for the office I now hold. and say to them that my retire ment now from this office to which they elected me was brought about by the death of our representative in congress from the Fifth district.
 Tn this new field of labor I hope to be of service to my party and to the people, and as in the past I will be ready to answer the call of my party in this state wherever opposition may lift it's head"

CUNNINGHAM SHOWS
 WHERE HE STANDS
Will be Untiring in Finishing
 the Lynchers
SUCCESSOR TO M'DAVlD
Man Has Already Been Decided Upon, But Name Will Not Be Made Publlo-No Applications
 Considered.

Montgomery, April 2S.-(Speelal) )-Priv- ate Secretary Jackson to Governor Cum ningham tonight mailed the following let- ter to Judge ". S. Anderson at Mobile:
 'The governor is in receipt of your let- ter of the 25th inst. in reply to his of the 2rd in which he indulged the hope that it might be your pleasure to call a special term of court in Baldwin county with view of bringing into justice the lynchers of Reuben Sims. Since the re- ceipt of your letter the governor has been advised by some reliable party in that county that 1t is believed several convic- tions can now be secured
 Tn view of all the information that comes to him, he directs me to again bring the matter to your attention with the hope that you may see fit to change your mind. He does not mean, of course, to offer the slightest criticism of your views, as already expressed, but he Is mindful, even if his informants be mis- taken in the view that a conviction can be had at special term if called now, that the next grand jury or any subse- quent grand jury, would not be debarred from further investigation, and conse- quent finding of indictments
 The governor Is so interested in this matter that he renews his offer to come to your assistance with the services of the supernumerary judge If needed, and trusts you will yet see your way clear to the calling of a special term of the court and leave nothing undone that looks toward the breaking up of lynching in our otherwise fair state.''
 his action so immediately taken after being sworn in shows plainly how the new governor stands on lynchlng.
