fallen back from Yangze Pass, but are
holding their positions OH the Saimats-
"a Road.
Yangze, or Yangse Pass is situated
80 miles east of Liao Yang. The Rus
sian army engaged there is generally
known as the eastern army and was
commanded by the late. Lieutenant
General Count Keller, who was killed
by the explosion of a shell.
Other Steamers Sunk.
Vladivostock, Aug. 2-The Vladivo-
stock squadron returned to port yes
terday afternoon in perfect condition.
The fleet captured the steamer Arabia
and destroyed several schooners, a
small Japanese steamer, one German
steamer and one British steamer The
last two mentioned were carrying con
traband material, and had nearly
reached Yokohama, but were almost
without coal, so that it was impossible
to send them to Vladivostock. This is
the first information that any foreign
steamer other than the Knight Com
mander had been sunk.
Decisive Action Expected.

which advance the enemy will make
and whether it is Kuroki's intention te
| try and flank General Kuropatkin nortf
or south of Liao Yang.

1t has been discovered tnaC water
sufficient for irrigating five to ten
acres of land may be obtained at a
slight depth in Alamogordo and as a
result a number of people in that city

great difference in the flow of this un-

Stockmen have, by great diligence. wiped
the disease almost out, but still there is
an occasional case let run until the ami

Now comes a strange development in
the matter. Wolves and coyotes that

thing to see a coyote shivering on the

mails have died from the effects Of the
cold and stockmen believe that the entire

The New York Millinery Trade Re
view in an editorial in its January num-
Der says that no jobbing center for the
sale Of millinery goods has made such
rapid strides in the last two years as
Milwaukee. This is principally due to
the progressive firm of Blumenfeld. Lo-
cher & Brown Co., 36S-37O-372- 374
Broadway. This firm has it's own buyers
i'll Europe, thus importing direct, and also
carry the best productions of the domestic

the general trade made in their own work
rooms have found much favor throughout
the west and are considered easy sellers
and money getters for any merchant.
