First Russian victory.

The first real success scored by the
! Russians has fallen to their lot, ac-
cording TO dispatches received at the
war department. They have won a
sweeping victory few miles north OF
Mukden in one of the iercest engage
ments Of the struggle for Manchurian
supremacy, and although the forces
pitted against each other were not
particularly large the victory was none
the less decisive. If the advices re-
ceived by the war department are cor
rect, then General Mistchenko, the
hero of the battles of the end of July,
has secured absolute control of the
country surrounding Flu pass and the
Fusan mines, effectively cutting off
the Japanese from further advance
upon lne region of the Yentai rail
road.

den.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 11.-General
Kuropatkin's order of the day, an
nouncing his determination to take the
offensive, is supplemented by the news
that an offensive movement has al
ready been begun and that the Japan.
ese line had been broken at Bentsia-
putze. the Japanese occupied front
of about 81 miles, stretching from
Bentsiaputz, on the east, through Yen
tai and across the railroad to the
banks of the Hun river on the west.
The Russian forces had been moving
south in close touch with the Japanese
advance since OCTOBER 4. The Japan
csc outposts were driven back in
series of skirmishes, and on October
6 the Russians reoccupied the station
of Shakhe, Is miles south of Mukden,
the railway battalion restoring the
bridge across the Shakhe river the
next day in order to facnlLate the ad-
vance. Meanwhile General Mistch-
enko's Cossacks pushed southwest
ward as far as the Yentai mines, de-
feating the Japanese in series of
skirmishes.
The most important action, however,
occurred on the Japanese right at
BentsiaputZe. Here the Japanese held
strong and important position, but it
seems they made the inexplicable omis-
sion to fortify the commanding hill
which was the key to the whole situa-
ton. A portion of General Kuropat-
kin's force made strong attack on
Bentsiaputze and, taking leaf out of
| the Japanese book, occupied the Hill
from the east and ilanked the Japan
csc out of the town, causing a serious
loss in the rear guard fight. The Rus
sian casualties are reported to have
been inconsiderable.
While these operations are progress
! ing south of Mukden it is reported that
| two Japanese divisions under General
Fushimi are marching west up the

Of Sinmintin. General Kuroki is ex-
pected to make a similar move east

HIeBEE, Mo-, Aug, 1.-THE biggest

just been consummated here, and on
Monday Of this week large force Of
men we're put to work sinking shafts
half mile east Of Yates, on the Chi

in one body, extending nine miles east

The purchasers are New York and
st. Louis capitalists, and the price
paid was In the neighborhood of $780,

Alton, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
and the Wabash traverse the terri
tory.
The work OF securing options from
the farmers was begun last March.
More than 200 land owners had to be
seen and contracted with for their
rights.
The operators will incorporate under
the name of "The Randolph County

their final resting places.
Early In the day, all preparations
had been completed for the. funerals,
The undertakers and liverymen were
severely taxed in supplying hearses
and vehicles, but all were finally ac-
commodated and soon long lines we're
vending their way TO the various
cemeteries. Many bodies were sent to
other cities last night and to-day.
Downtown the streets we're crowded
with persons watching the professions
and business was almost at stand
still.
The search for victims which has
been SO faithfully conducted the past
two days was resumed at dawn to-day,
hut the chances of further recovery of
dead grow fainter as time passes,
although many persons supposed to be
victims are as yet unaccounted for.
The work Of identifying the victims
has been made with difficulty, but,
perhaps, not more SO than In other
similar cases. The names have been
duplicated and Quadruplicated with
triflng variations until the lists have
been swelled to 80, 100 and even more.

Found Best in Galloway.

A reporter for the Herald while en-
route to Jefferson City, Wednesday,
met Mr.. Pollock Of the Pollock Milling
Company, Of Mexico. He says that he
has been over a large scope OF country
in the past few days examining the
wheat crop and finds it TO be a most
inferior quality, much of 1t being un-
fit for milling purposes at all. Says
the Noe wheat that he has found was
in the river bottoms In Galloway
county near Cedar City. He says that
the millers are up against the hardest
proposition this year that they have
had for a number Of years. Says ii
will be a difficult matter to get enough
good wheat 70 keep the mills in oper-
alton. One thing is certain, there
never was poorer quality Of wheat
grown in this community, than is be
ing threshed cut this season.-Arm'

JAPANESE TORPEDO BOAT IS
CHARGED WITH VIOLATION
OF cHINAs NEUTRALITY.
ALL THE POWERS ARE INTERESTED
If Dowager Empress Does Not Pro
test Seizure Of Russian Ship She
May Become Involved in
War War Threatens
Many Nations.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Anxious
concern, even trepldation, is displayed
by the State Department In regard to
the action Of the Japanese torpedo
boat destroyers in cutting out the
Russian destroyer Ryeschitelski from
the neutral harbor Of Chefoo, where IT
had taken refuge after the fight of
Port Arthur.
1t is frankly admitted that this
comes near to shaking the neutrality
China, to which all the great Powers,
including Russia and Japan, commit
ed themselves for the purpose Of SC
restricting the conflict that all the
world might not possibly be plunged
into war.
Secretary Hay, at the suggestion Of
Germany, early in February initiated
the international agreement which
bound the Powers to respect the neu-
trality Of all China, save Manchuria,
the object Of which was to limit the
area OF conflict to the high seas and
to Russia, Japan, Manchuria and Ko-
rea.
II China does not now protect her
own neutrality Secretary Hay will call
the attention Of the Powers again to
the menacing conditions there. Al
ready instruction have gone to the
American Ministers and Ambassadors
abroad to report the attitude OF the
various Governments upon this start
ling and dangerous development OF
the war.
WORLD DIPLOMACY STRAINED TO THE
UTMOST.
II China Is drawn into the contiet
complications will be presented which
will threaten the peace Of all other
Powers. World diplomacy is now be-
ing strained to the utmost to avoid
this terrible contingency.
Secretary Hay brought the alarm
ing prospect to the attention of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his Cabinet to-day.
Under the tenets Of international law
the captured vessel must be returned
to the custody Of the Chinese Govern
ment and an apology rendered for the
offense against Chinese neutrality
But II Russian lives have been lost, as
reported in the press dispatches,
greater complication will follow, fol
Russia may in turn hold China re
sponsible for the punishment Of tht
Japanese who caused the death Of hel
sailors when under the shelter of the
Chinese port authorities.
Altogether the situation is full Of
danger, and the main apprehension Of
the officials here is that 1t may be tht
Incident that will break down the
agreement of the Powers and plunge
China into the war as full.fedget
belligerent and ally of Japan.
The consequence of such an act OF
China's part upon existing alliance
between Japan and Great Britain ant
between Russia and France can onll
be conjectured, and the prospect is Sc
alarming that 1t is not doubted tina
the State Department will do its ut
most, along with neutral Powers, Il
effect such settlement of this Incl
dent as shall preserve the agreement
as to China In full force.
