BIG BATTLE DENIED
Wounded Are From Keller's RAID
Where Armies Are.

fAlCs
st. Petersburg, July 7. 500 PIN
The war office denies that a battle is
in progress as reported by the Lao
yang correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph, who, in dispatch
under today's date, said that severe
battle was proceeding twenty-five
miles from there and that numbers Of
wounded were being brought in from
the mountains. The officials Of the
war office repeat the substance Of the
explanation contained in these dis
patches today, saying that the CORE
spondent Of the Daily Telegraph prob
ably referred to the reconnaissance
made by Lieutenant General Keller,
July 4, in the direction Of Molten
pass, east of Liao-yang.
At this time the Japanese main
forces are on the Siu-yen-Hai-c heng
and Kai-chou-Ta-tche-k roads at
Vandiapudze and Shi-kai-houya re-
spectively, thirty-seven miles from
Ha1-cheng, and fifty miles from Ia
tche-kiao and Kat-chau.
According to official information re-
ceived by the war office, the Japanese
began their advance toward Liao-yang
June 20. one column moving along the
main and the other over the direct
road, the former reaching On-fang-
kou, ten miles beyond Fen-shui pass,
and the latter reaching Lia-khol
pass, twelve miles northwest Of Mo-
item pass. They halted at these points
till July 3, the Russians falling back
to Lang-tse pass, thirty miles from
Idao-yang. The Japanese advance
guard consisting of 1900 men, was
only two miles east of the Russian pO-
eition. The next day occurred KEEL
ler's reconnaissance in force, when the
Japanese were discovered to be trying
O. flank movement in the direction OF
Lian-dian-san. This is the last fight
ing reported northWard, but still fur
Their north Japanese column Is con-
tinuing to hold another Fen-shui pass
twelve miles northwest of Saimatsza,
on the road leading to Liao-yang and
Mukden, and eighty-ive miles east OF
the latter place.

BURNING OIL ENVEL0PS
LAKE IN WILD FLAMES
Special to The journal.

Lander. Wyo., July 1.-The keeper
Of the Belgo-American oil property,
while burning the surplus oil that es-
capped from the wells there yester-
day afternoon, lost control Of the
blaze, which swept down a small riv-
ulet that communicates with a lake
a hundred feet from the wells. I'M
mediately vast columns Of dense
smoke rolled into the air, while flames
hundreds of feet high quickly trans
formed the scene into a veritable hell.
Dense clouds of black smoke,
spreading over the sky, make objects
nearly indistinot for miles over the
country. The burning lake Is In close
touch with two more even larger and,
should the wind yeer suddenly, they.
too, will probably catch fire.
If the fire reaches these two lakes
1t will mean a total loss Of at least
100000 barrels Of oil as we'll as the
destruction Of all the machinery and
derricks.

relic which he obtained from the In

relic is an autograph letter written
by Thomas Jefferson. April II, 1905,

who had visited Washington to see

It is not remarkable that letter

letter was addressed to the Poncas,
Otoes. Iowas, Osages. Sacs, Foxes,
Pottawatomies and Sioux, and was no
doubt treasured highly by those into
whose hands it was given by Presi-
dent Jefferson. The Indians from
whom Mr.. Darman obtained it
seemed to have no knowledge Of its
import, but were. keeping it among
other papers of little or no historic
value. Mr.. Darman lived among the
Indians and learned to talk their Ian
guage fluently, and 1t was while he
was living among the Sacs that he
found the letter. L It Is interesting
and the fact that 1t is addressed to
the only inhabitant, at that time, of
Oklahoma, gives additional interest
to It.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-04-29

Very soon the country will be pass ing through the excitement incidental to a presidential campaign, says Banker Clews. Fortunately, there are fewer disturbing issues than us- ual, and there Is likely to be less post ponement of enterprise than is com mon in presidential years. NeYerthe- less, there are two important doubts hanging over the market-the election and the crops--and upon these the course of the market will largely de pend. Four or five months will be reqired to anticipate these results, unless unexpected developments occur in the war between Japan and Russia or in the merger litigation. Of course, the contest between these rival rail- road magnates is one of the most po- tent influences, and close watch must be kept on movements in that quarter The better prospect, how ever, of an early settlement of these difficulties as result of MT Hills sue cess at the Northern Securities stock holders meeting imparted some strength to the market at the close of the week; otherwise the weeks trans actions were mainly confined to mod crate fluctuations.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-04-29

John Sharp Williams, in replying to speeches and innuendoes hurled al him in congress, recently said: ''As a practical man as practical legislator
 standing upon this floor for the pur- pose of doing practical things, which under the decisions of the supreme court can be done, not I nor anybody else is a free trader or could be. If the gentleman wants to know my opin- ion as a student of political economy about the abstract question of free trade, I think that the nearer the na- tions of the earth can come to leaving their commerce totally 1ntrammeled, the happier and the- better and the more prosperous the entire world will be. But I know what you want. You want to raise up amongst lot of people the bogy man of free trade What 8 terror 1t is to the highway man to be faced with the fear of hav- ing to drop his booty. You know, and I ask you if you do not know, that un- der the decision of the supreme court setting aside the income tax, no party in this country could get along with out very high rate of import duties, even if it wanted to cut them down. y
