ATTRIBUTES DEFEAT TO
THE JAPANESE ARTILLERY

st. Petersburg, May 3, 7:05 p. m.-
Gen. Kuropatkin's official report, dated
May 2, says Gen. Zassalitch's force re-
treated in good order, eventually arriv-
ing at Feng-W Wang Cheng. He attrib-
utes the losses on the Yalu to the su-
periority of the Japanese artillery.
The number of casualties or of the
guns lost are not specified by Gen. Zas-
salitch.
According to information just OBJ
tanned from the general staff Zassa-
litchs entire force at the Yalu consist
ed of fifteen rife battalions of 800 men
each and five batteries. or forty guns.
One regiment of three battalions and
two batteries stationed at Antung did
not participate in Sundays fight and
retired without loss. The nights of
Kiu-Lien-Cheng and Husan were held
by four regiments and four batteries,
about 10000 men and thirty-two guns,
against $4,000 Japanese and 100 guns,
in addition to sixteen 12-pounder siege
guns landed from the gunboats. These
guns are considered by the Russians to
have been responsible for Gen. Zassa-
litchs defeat, as the Russian guns were
of a light field pattern, with some
mountain pieces.
The general staff asserts that Gen.
Zassalitch had no reserves nearer than
Feng Wang Cheng. Reserves, it is
added, were unnecessary as Gen. zas-
salitch's mission was only to observe
and harass, but not to impede the Jap
anese.
TT is like Gen. Kurokis luck that
Gen. Zassalitch should be such head
strong commander" said an officer.
II is admitted by the general staff
that the Japanese hanking move af-
fected the whole Of the twelve bat
taiions, and batteries at Ku Lien
Cheng and Litzavens. which accounts
for the desperate character of the
hghting. The twelfth and Twenty

Cost Railroads s1o,ooo,o 900 a Year.

The aggregate annal losses Of the
railways of the United States through
the operations of ticket scalpers is
estimated at 100000 900 by the Rail-
way protective buraaa This IS the
enormous stake which the railu ads
and the scalpers are eoastantly pay
for. It Is stated tina in Chicago
alone during 1902 the s~calpers took
from the railroads revenue amount
ing to more than $1,000, 900. The
common impression that the efforts
of the protective agency had great
" diminished ticket s~calping is APP
parently erroneous, according to those
informed on the subject. About all
the agencies Of powerful corpora
lions controlling more than 10000
miles of road are able to accomplish
is the checking Of the spreading OF
the d~epredations of the scalpe"i.
That scalping is on the decrease is
denied, but il is settled that by spend
ing liberal appropriations annually
the railroads have been able during
the past five years to prevent the
growth of scalping. That more may
be accomplished in the future IS the
hope expressed.

Certificates Of BowersOsk And Alien
for Congress frOn Second District.
START FROM GARNET TOGETHER
Eowersoek's Filed First. Contest Before
State Board Declared Final by SUI
preme Court. Allen WIN Try The
Court

Topeka, Mar. THE double headed
convention. at Garnett wound up it's
work shortly after noon. One section
nominated Congressman j. d. Bower
sock. The other section nominated
Henry ]. Allen. Each side had pre-
pared its nomination certificate in adj
vance and, as soon as the nomination
signed by the proper officers and &C
knowledged.
Within ten minutes after the con-
vention had adjourned regular Mis-
| souri, Pacific train left Garnett for
Topeka. Bowersock's nomination GER
tifcate was handed to Tom Kelly. state
treasurer, to file He was coming
home, Henry j. Allen and Grant
Hornaday had Aliens certificate, and
they, too, boarded the train
Each soon discovered what was up.
Hornaday telegraphed from the next
carriage at the Missouri Pacific depot
on Fifth street so that he and Allen
could rush to the state house and file
Aliens certificate
Kelly got onto this. Having lived in
Topeka for some time he knew the lay
friend of his to have q carriage meet
the train at Fifteenth street, where the
Missouri Pacific crosses the Santa Fe.
All trains stop at that crossing. When
the train reached here, Kelly found his
| carriage at the crossing and stepped
into it and rode to the state house,
where he filed Bowersocl's nomination
certificate.
Aliens friends will prepure protest
against Bowersock's papers and file it.
This will make up the issue in the case.
The contest board will fix date for
the hearing. At that hearing, each
side will submit evidence to support its
claim for the certificate. The one that
is turned down will not be able to get
on the official ballot under the repub-
Iican head. If he insists on running,
he will either have to get "a nomination
from another convention or put his
name on by petition signed by 2,5oO
voters of his district. His name will go
on as an independent candidate.
The supreme court has decided in
| former case that the acts of the state
contest board are final. still Aliens
friends say they can appeal in case they
can show that fraud was committed.
If Allen loses before the board, his
friends will try to get into court.
