JAPANESE REPORT
SHARP ENGAGEMENT.

Toxic, June 3.-A body of Japanese
have encountered and defeated a mixed
force of Russian cavalry, infantry and
artillery, near Lichaton, nine miles
north of Polandien, on Monday last,
May 80. The engagement began at
1890 p. m. and lasted for two hours,
the Russian troops being finally driven
northward.
The Japanese had twenty-six men
killed, including one officer and thirty
seven wounded, including four officers.
The movement of the Russian forces
southwark indicates a possible effort TO
relieve Port Arthur. The Russian losses
are unknown.
The fighting reported from Toxic as
having occurred near Lichaton, nine
miles north of Polandien, on Monday
last" is evidently identical with the
engagement reported from Lao Yang
May 30 by a correspondent of the AS
sociated Press as having occurred at
Vagenfuchu POSSIBLY near Wafang-
tien), which is about nine miles north
of Polandien on the Lao Tung penn-
sula. 1t was in this enga cement that
the Cossacks under Gen. Samsonoff
were reported TO have annihilated a
squadron of Japanese. The Japanese
were commanded by Gen. Akkiama.

Greenville, Miss, June S.-As a re-
suit of a fight which occurred on the
Sims and Williams plantation at Trail
Lake, Miss. thirty miles east of here,
last night John Sims and his man
ager, named Cato, were killed by ne
groes, and three of the negroes have
been killed also. The country is in
state of intense excitement and it
is feared further trouble may ensue
between the whites and blacks.
The slaughter started about 10
Hlclock last night, when Sims and
Cato were shot down in their store
by a negro named Sam Clark. Sims
was engaged in checking up his cash
when Clark came in. Before he could
make any kind of move Clark raised
a Winchester and fired. the shot taking
effect first in the back and then break
ing the collar bone. He died Instant
ly.
Clark Immediately turned on Cato,
the manager. who was in another
part of the store, and shot him in the
right side, the ball coming out on the
left side.
CIubbed With n Rifle.
Cato staggered out to the back of
the store and as he reached the door
a negro convict guard named Van
Horn, who was in waiting, struck him
over the head with a rifle. Cato died
at O'Clock this morning and the ply
sician gives it as his opinion that the
blow over the head caused his death.
News of the tragedy was Immediate

Crouch, with a posse, went to the
scene.
The negroes Van Horn and Clark
had made their escape before the posse
arrived, but the trail of Van Horn was
found, and he was tracked about
quarter of a mile into the woods. Here
another negro convict guard named
Mayfield interfered with the posse and
he was shot down in his tracks.
Van Horn was captured and taken
to Leland, fourteen miles distant,
where he was placed in the Jail. He
remained in Jail all night under a
strong guard. and at $50 o'clock this
morning he was taken out and lynched
by a mob.
Back to XIII Others.
While the sheriff and posse were
busy with Van Horn. the other negro,
Sam Clark, returned to the Sims
store with the intention. 1t is said, of
killing Buck Williams, the other part

Il shall so down to posterity," said Napoleon
Bonaparte, with my code IN my hand" He
believed that prophecy would be fulfilled. and
he well deserved that il should be. He esteemed
his code above all his victories. from Toulon to
Ligny, and we are not sure that he overesti-
mated It. II easily outranks all other modern
codes, even the Landrecht Of Frederick the
Great We were reviewing not long ago a his
tory Of the Napoleonic reform of civil admins
tration IN parts Of Germany and showed how
great and beneficent was his work there, large
ly through the imposition of his Civil Code.
Such, too, was the effect Of the code in France.
and in Belgium, Italy, Greece and elsewhere
where IT was adopted. That one work entities
him TO a rank in constructive craftsmanship
comparable with that which the world has long
accorded to him as a military conqueror.
Yet through the unjust irony OF fate his
prophecy has been unfulflled. He is remem-
bered for almost everything else more than
for his code When the 'Napoleonic revival"
sprang up few years ago, in society, in dress
in literature and on the stage, every other
feature OF his life and works was recalled, ex-
plotted, eulogized; but the great code was all
but ignored. Even this year men are speaking
more OF the centenary of his assumption of the
imperial crown than OF the centenary of the
code; though his crown, and his nephews, and
all crowns in France, have long since been
thrown down forever, while the code, despite
all changes still endures as the foundation of
French Jurisprudence, Of French civil rights
and organization, and, in a larger measure than
we often think, Of the French state itself.
For the supreme service Of the code was the
uniicatiOn Of France on the basis Of a common
system Of law and administration of justice.
Before il, even with the performances" Of Louis
XIV and XIV, multiplicity rivalling chaos pre-
vailed. There were "droits ecrits and 'drOits
costumes" in endless variety according 10 place

was no pretence at uniformity. That which
was legal IN one province was illegal in an

made his code uniform, for all parts and places.
and be made the procedure comparatively sim
pie and inexpensive; so that for the first time
IN the history Of France justice was obtalnabIe
by all men on equal terms. The service thus
rendered TO the cause Of national unity was and
IS simply inestimable.
There have, Of course been changes In the
code. For more than forty years it stood sub
stantially unaltered. Then the adoption of uni
versal suffrage in 1s4S destroyed the monopoly
az power which the property owning classes had
eufoved under the CODE and made the pro-
letariat for the first time a power IN the State.
In 1854 another change occurred. when the
right OF workingmen 10 strike was recognized.
The third came twenty years later, in the legal
ling of workingmen's unions and collective
contracts: and this was followed by others.

THEORIES DE IMMUNITY.

By printing full outlines of the recent lectures
Of Professor Ehrlch at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, The Medical Record" has performed
a useful service. The profoundly technical
phraseology Of this investigator OF the phe-
nomenon Of immunity makes his meaning OBJ
scure 10 many, and it is probable that the last
word has not yet been said on the subject.
However, the compatriot Of Koch and Behring
addresses himself TO the few, rather than the
many. He is dealing with the philosophy of
protection from disease, not the details Of serum
therapy. Just now antitoxins furnish the chief
hope Of medical men. To a limited degree, the
sick can be relieved by regimen and environ
ment Drugs are used now merely TO produce
such temporary and incidental effects as the
encouragement Of sleep, the reduction Of acute
pain or high fever or the overcoming of poison.
Their remedial use in a general sense has been
abandoned Unfortunately, though only two
or three Of the antitoxins yet devised seem TO
do much good. A vast amount Of research has
been given to the preparation Of others, but
with disappointing results. One cannot avoid
thinking that some day a fresh clew will be
afforded, which will lead to vastly greater
practical results. For that reason American
psychologists and pathologists are alert to
the work done in other countries.
At one time-not so very long ago-it was
thought that the immunity which follows a
single aII2ck OF some malaQleS was due TO the
exhaustion Of the supply OF a material on which
the disease fed. Another favorite conjecture
was that the human system developed a toler-
ance, or hardihOOd, from exposure. and became
acclimatized, as IL We're. Then it was suggested
that certain cells in the tissues possessed de-
stTuctive powers, and would consume hostile
germs with ferocity. Health. it was assumed,
depended merely on the relative size of the
invading and defensive armies in 4 persons
body. The 'phagOcyte' theory had a great
popularity, but like the Others, it failed 10 ex-
plain some Of the phenomena observed. 1t is
now generally believed that illness results from
toxins. produced directly or indirectly by ba-
eilli. and that they may be counteracted by the
antitoIins, which are developed in the blood.
Even yet, however, there is disagreement as
TO the manner IN which the latter overcome the
former. 1t has been suspected that the op-
Grafton resembles the neutraliZing influence OF
an alkan upon an acid. Professor Ehrlich in
sists that the procedure is OF n different char
acter. He imputes the effect TO a much more
complicated chemical process, the scene Of
which is those cells which are susceptible 10 a
particular poison. Whatever be the final YER
dict OF other experts on this theory, It IS sure
TO receive the most careful examination.

roRNADLn AND OTFER STORMS.


The weather has treated the West and South
10 rnlschievous lot OF pranks in the last few
DAYS. From Kansas down TO Texas, and thence
eastward to Southern Illinois and Kentucky,
there have been almost countless showers ana
tornadoes. So copious have been the former, in
spite Of their brevity, that the Kaw, lower Mis-
souri, and upper Mississippi have risen abruptly
and in an alarming fashion. Already the latter
stream stood at a high level. and the slightest
accession TO its contents must naturally have
produced dangerous conditions. The tornadoes
which have been the offspring OF the same
barometric depression as these thunderstorms
have in several instances been fatal. The loss
Of life on Sunday and since then from that
cause alone must considerably exceed twenty.
Two features Of the situation yesterday Of
fered temporary encouragement to st. Louis
and other places threatened with foods. No
fresh precipitation was occurring where it
could affect them. The temperature promised
TO fail below the freezing point for a few hours
over a wide area, and thus slightly TO check the
flow Of tributaries TO the larger river. From
this time until after the June rise ia the Mis-
souri, there must be anxiety along that river and
below the point OF fits discharge into the Mis-
sissippL Every little reaction from immediate
peril which is discernible in the mean time will;
therefore. be profoundly welcome.

HFTp FOR MACEDONIA.

The Macedonian revOlutionists are busy again
They are at work in this country, soliciting
funds and trying TO arouse sympathy. 1hose
things they have a right to do. They also de-
clare that they will presently seek to enlist ana
organize armed bands of Americans, TO go over
into Macedonia and help them. That they VIII
have no right TO do, and any American thus en-
listing will be committing an offence against lne
laws of the United States.
1t is difficult not to sympathize with the
Macedonians or with some Of them. The
Macedonian Committee" we have hitherto ex-
pressed our opinion Of and we see no cause for
modifying that opinion. But there are doubt
less many people in Macedonia who are not
criminals, but who are ground almost to death
beneath the heel of Turkish disagreement; or,
to change the figure and make it more exact
between the upper and neither millstones of
Turkish misgovernment and Bulgarian brigand-
age For them we must feel profound pity.
The case is the more trying because the scheme
of reforms adopted by the Austrian and Russian
governments some time ago has proved worse
than worthless. The best testimony is to the
effect that the Macedonians are now actually
worse of than before. No wonder, then, that
even those who have hitherto stood alOof from
the Vaccinations of the Bulgarian plotters are
now becoming desperate and are getting ready
for any strenuous means that may come TO hand
for calling attention to their hopeless plight
At the present time the leaders of various
bands, true Macedonians well as Bulgarian
flibusters, are in council discussing what is
best to do The outlook is that they will gem
orally decide for an outbreak this spring. Their
argument is that if they do not do something Of
the sort Europe will forget their existence and
leave them 10 their fate. But If they do rise
the horrors OF former revolts and suppressions

pose, the powers of Europe will be moved TO
make end OF the wretched situation. But
that day may yet be far distant. AS for Ameri-
cans, they can only hope for the delverance OF
Macedonia from both bashibaZouk and Bull
garian brigand. though with feeling that for
the present they are hoping against probability.
