British Troops Defeat Natives in
Battle Which Occurs 10000
Feet Above Sea Level.
GREAT GALLANTRY Is SHOWN
Sixteen Hundred Thibetans As.
Saulted While Holding Wall
and Driven Away After
Sharp Contest.

New York, May "Details OF
the battle of May 6 between the
British expedition and natives of
Thibet, recounted in dispatch
from the Times correspondent at
Karo pass, show that the action
took place $4,000 feet above sea
level. II was the outcome OF an
attack ON Colonel Younghusband
and his escort at early dawn on
Thursday by 500 men from Dong
Use. The attacking force arrived
with the utmost secrecy at Gyang-
tse at midnight,
The garrison beat off the attack
successfully. 1t was not thought
the attack was to be delivered SC
shortly after the karalola expedi'
tion force had left. When Colonel
Brandes with his rifles camped on
the pass Thursday night 1900
Thibetans were holding wall
three miles ahead. The enemy,
after obstinate resistance, were
cleared from the wall. The gen
eral plan Of attack was an out
fanking movement by one company
and a direct attack. The gallantry
of both the Sikhs and the pioneers
on both fianks was conspicuous.
The casualties of the Thibetans
during the actual fight were about
Is and probably as many again
were lost during the pursuit by
the mounted infantry, who have
not returned. Captain Bethune,
who was among the five British
killed, fell while leading his men
to the attack on the wall. The
Thibetans used matchlocks.

THE MAN OF WAR.

Every district, every hamlet Is con-

that great army may be massed will

in Japan, there are 100000 raen who
have had actual military training, and
are available for immediate service II
it is so desired. This number repre-
sents only one in every nine men who
have been drawn by lot. from the
physically able, to serve either the one
or three years enlistment In Japan's
compulsory military service and there
fore 1t does not even touch the several
millions Of able-bodied men who are
subject to conscriptlon at moments
notice.
The conservative Japanese leaders OF
affairs believe an army Of 100000
sufficient to win success with Russia,
and the enthusiasts say, "If need be,
we will put million and half to two
million men into the field"
From all the discomforts suffered in
a train, sullenly humping over the
rails on fiattened wheels, and creeping
from station to station with prolonged
waits, one gains the positive knowl-
edge that an army is moving in the
land of the mikado. Every station
seems to be giving up its fathers and
sons. They stand huddled on the short
platforms Of the smaller stations, in
wide-sleeved and padded kimonas,

SEVEN HUNDRED LOST
Sinking of an Emigrant Steamer
 Bound for New York.

' Lcndon, July a-Over zoo Danish and Norwegian emigrants bound for New York are believed to have been drowned in the North Atlantic on June 2S. Out of nearly 800 souls on board the Danish steamer Norge. which left Copenhagen June 22, only twenty-seven are known to be alive, and for the rest no hope is held out. When last seen the Norge was sink ng where she struck on the Isle of Rock all whose isolated peak rises from a deadly Atlantic reef 290 miles off the west coast of Scotland.
 Early on the morning of fast Tues day, the Norge, which was out of her course in heavy weather, ran on the Roekall reef, which in the distance looks liise a ship under full sail. The Norge quickly backed off, but heavy seas poured in through the rent in her bows. The emigrants who were then awaiting breakfast below ran on deck. The hatchway was not built for these hundreds of souls and became clogged.
 The Norge quickly began to go down by the head. Eight boats were lower ed and into these the women ard children were hurriedly put. Six Of these boats smashed against the side of the Norge and their inmates were

LIGHTNING SHOCKS PRIESTS.
A Pickpocket Bolt Strikes the Watch

Milford, Mass, July 3.-The Rev. Messrs. John P. Phelan and J. V. Han rahan, priests Of St. Mary's Roman Catholic church here, today were still in a dazed condition as the result of being severity shocked in the electrical storm cf Saturday evening. Physic- ians say, however. that both will re- cover entirely within a few days The clergymen were in room at the par ochial house near the church when the storm broke.
 A bolt of ofslightning entered the build ing, and, as it appeared later, struck Father Phelan's coat, which was hanging over the back of a chair on which he was sitting. At the same mo- ment both priests received q shock which caused partial prostration. Later it was found that the wo,k ks of the watch had been melted. The parochial house was not seriously damaged by the lightning, but the tower of St. Mary's church was wrecked.

heifers. Veal calves are 30 to 75 cents higher than last week. and bring up to S4.75. Heavier runs of grass cattle are expected from this time on and prices usually decline when they begin to move freely.
 Sheep and lamb prices are 30 to 40 cents lower than last week. owing mainly to the poor quality of the stuff offered. Lots of inferior natives and fat lambs have put in appearance, and such have suffered most in price. A good many goats have been here from the southwest, and they have sold at $215 to s3.50. Spring lambs bring $6.0C to $6.60, clipped lambs up to $5.75, year lings S5.10. wethers $4.75, ewes $4.50. Texas run still hangs on, and Texas lnuttons bring $4.00 to $4.60, Texas yearlings $500. Stock and feeding sheep are wanted here, at $2.75 to $3.50. but very few are coming, except undesirable cull natives.

HIDDEN BY DARKNESS
How the VIadivostok Fleet Eiuded
 kamimura

Toko, July S.-The Vladivostok squadron eluded Vice Admiral Kami- mura's squadron eastward of the island of Tsu, on Friday night in the dark ness. A drizzling rain and fog fla vored the Russian vessels. The two squIdrons met early in the evenng, the Russians being north of Xxi island and the Japanese south of Tsu island. They were ten miles apart. The Russians bolted to the northeast when they were discovered by Kamimura. The lat ter chased them full speed. The Ja- panese torpedo boats steamed ahead and entered within range of the Rus sian guns. The Russian vessels wig orously shelied the Japanese torpedo goats. This firing explains the can nonading heard on Tsu island which gave rise to the belief that a general engagement was in progress Kami- nIUra gained on the Russian ships and was only five miles in the rear when suddenly at 9 D. m. all the Russian vessels extinguished their lights and disappeared in the drakness. At that time the Japanese torpedo boats wero pressing the Russians who had bee n using their search lights. The tor pado boats failed to get close encIgh to the Russian squadronsto discharge their toTpedoes.

Are Engaged in Looking
 for a Running Mate
ANY KIND OF PLATFORM
Only It Must Be Free From the Slight est Faint of Bryanism- Will Con- tain a Declaration in Favor of Sound Money.

St. Louis July 3.-New York, and, of course, New York means Parker, is so confident tonight that the candidate of that state is to be nominated that Par lxer men are talking over with leaders of delesations from other states the ques- tion of his running mate and to all de- legations that have a candidate for the place they are giving assurances or their distinguished esteem.
 Two things are stated definitely at Senator Hilrs headuarters tonight first that no platform has been drawn up. for Judge Parker to stand on and that even the rough draft will not be forth coming until Wednesday,; and second, that Judge Parker as d candidate will readily stand upon any platform that the majority of the convention agrees upon. This last statement is signi- ncant because it is thoroughly well known that he would not stand on c radical platform. It is therefore evil dent that the Parker supporters are al ready assured that the convention will not agree to even a hint of radicaiisni as suggested by the Bryan and Hearst supporters, but indeed will strongly tend in an entirely different direction, particularly on the financial and tariff blanks.
 A man close to Senator Hill said to- night: "The feeling is that the Bryan element has had it's way twice. One year they did as they pleased and the next time they were catered to by hay ing the old platform endorsed. They have had their innings and have failed. This time they may give way to con servatives and if they are good demo- crats they will do it gracefully.
 This is not the mere sentiment of the New Workers or of the east. Only this afternoon State Senator Bambur- ger of Utah, came here and made the statement that while he twice support ed Bryan and his principles and had each campaign given largely of his per sonal wealth to try and elect him, he believed that he should be eliminated from this campaign and that if neces- sary the party should go to the extreme of arf absolute repudiatien of his ldeas The Texas delegation also feels tine same about it and are for a direct de- claration for sound money
 Some of the time of the Parker ad- herents this afternoon was given up tc the consideration of q financial planB for the platfoWn. There is some diff erence of opinion as to whether the plank should read sound money" oi simply refer to the money of the con- stitution," while a few think it woult be eminently proper to declare for ths gold standard. This latter thing vii not be done, but it is probable tha there will be a declaration fo= "thC money of the constitutions"

THINGS MAY HAPPEN
It is a Long Time Before the Ballot
 ing Begins.

St. Louis. July 3.-It looks like Par ker. Nine out of every ten men who have been closely watching the situa- tion think that Parker will be nomin- ated on the second or not later than the third ballot At the same time there is enough uncertainty to make the situation interesting. The ballot ing is five days away, and great deal may happen in 120 hours.
 With many unpledged and unre- stricted delegations, with delegations that will consider their instructions fulfilled after one or two ballots, coupl-' ed with the fact that there is a strong under current against the leading can didate. much might happen. If the opposition to Judge Parkep had the elements of cohesion he could oe de- feated but the experiment Of mixing oil and water has never yet been success ful. If not Parker, then German, or remotely, Cleveland.
 This was a German day. All the ele- ments that could be used to aid the

Maryland senator have been put forth today.
 Cleveland talk has been on the wane. but there is quite contingent that iT watching the situation with the hope that a condition may arise which wiz make Cleveland's nomination advisable. but this could not be brought about except after an exciting and bitter struggle.
 During the day there has been soma talk about Mayor Mcclellan, but it is recognized that his birth in Germany would furnish a small element of un- certainy, while a still greater factor is the solid delegation of New York state supporting another candidate.
 Soon after Bryan's arrival in St. Louis there was some talk about Judge Gray, mainly because the report had been circulated that the Nebraska man would support the Delaware man in preference to any other candidate. Oc- casionally the name of Joseph Folk is heard but it is apparent that the Mis- souri democrats do not want any fur ther prominence given to the young Missouri attorney.
 The presidential situation has been SuIhclently interesting to keep the NAce presidency and the platform somewhat in the background, although both have received consideration. Many drafts of the alleged platforms have been | brought to the city and several prom inent delegates are said to have the real thing, but it is evident that the 1 platform will he made in the committed ana after sharp contest. It is known that Senator German made a draft O. the platform and sent it with the Mary land delegation. This will be present ed to the committee on resolutions.
