ST. Petersburg, July 11.-6.0S p. M
Details of the Russian retirement from
Kaichou. which is hailed as a great
victory at Toxic, show according to the
official report OF Lieutenant Sakarof.
commander Of the eastern army, that
1t was little mere than a series OF
skirmishes. The Russian losses were
about 200 men. The Toxic report that
ten guns were captured Is unfounded
The Russians retired in perfect order
before General Oku's army, consisting
of four divisions.
Staff Captain Count Nero, who was
killed, is a brother of the midshipman
of that name who was killed at the
time Of the sinking of the Russian pro-
tected cruiser Variag off Chemulpo.
Ca:s.--l Nero vas in command of the
rear guard, which is the post of honor.
A Russian officer occupying this post
must be behind his men and it was
while following the troops that Nero
met his death.
General Oku's advance continues.
His main force which the staff claims
to be almost $4,000, was yesterday about
five miles north of Kai Chou. His Skin
mishers were about three miles further
north. The Japanese cavalry is pro-
ceeding to New Chwang and a heavy
force of japanese is converging upon
Sfadiamaf, half way to Tia Che Kiao
on the Stu Yen road
At about loon July 9Th, a japanese
force Of six companies Of infantry and
two guns We're observed marching
southwark from the Black mountains,
in the vicinity of Siadama. At the
the same time a brigade of Japanese
infantry, with two batteries, advanced
from Vida Pass, Kieg at Siadiama.
Firing commenced in the afternoon and
lasted until dusk, when the Russian
troops retired. In this affair two
Russian officers and four men were
killed.
There is no Grange in the situation
in the direction of Hal Cheng and Stu
Yen.
A company o Cossacks during a re-
connaissance near Sian Chan, in the
direction of Liza Yang and SaimtasZa,
ambushed a squadron of japanese cav
airy. The COSsackS losses were three
horses killed. The japanese lost TWEEN
ty killed or wounded. The sentiment of
the general staff f~oreshadows an en-
gagement while at Hal Cheng.
Up to noon yesterday the Japanese
had not resumed the offensive. The
admiralty has no confirmation of the
reported activity of the Port Arthur
squadron. Nevertheless there is excel
lent ground for believing hat 1t has
gone out of Port Arthur. The Vladi-
vostok squadron is also at sea.

ROBERT GARRISON TONGUE.
 Rev. Robert Clarkson Tongue, rector of All Saints parish in Meriden, who died Thursday evening, leaves wife who was formerly Miss Minnie Wyatt Smith, a daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Mar yin Smith, of New Haven, and two chill dreil.
 Rev MT. Smith was taken i'll Sun day night with a severe sore throat, but the services of a physicion were not considered necessary until Monday af- ternoon, when he took to his bed. It was at first thought that he had se- were attack of the grip. but on Thurs day morning more serious symptoms were present, and Dr. Otis called Dr. Bradstreet and Dr. Smith of New Ha- ven in consultation. At that time MT. Tongue was in a semi-conscious condi- ton. The physicians found that the symptoms arising from the compliea- tions were so masked that it was diff fiuclt to make a thoroughly satisfactory diagnosis of the case.
 They therefore called Dr. Gustavus Eliot, the eminent neurologist of New Haven, into consultation, and, after a thorough study of the case it was de- cided that it was cerebro spinal menin- gitis. Tn order, however, to be absolute ly certain, pr. Francis Bacon of New Haven was called on Wednesday morn ing, and he confirmed the diagnosis made by his brother physicians.
 Two skilled nurses were in attendance from the beginning and Drs. Otis, Brad street and Smith were unremitting in their attention, but all to no avail.

Sully County VS.. Dawson.

The Okobojo Times in compar-
ing Dawson and sully counties
gives Mitchell a solor picks
punch that knocks her "barren
waste argument off the cross.
The Times says:
Just for the sake of a selfish
purpose Mitchell is trying to say
that this portion Of South Dakota
is now, and viii never be any
thing else, but a range country.
Sully county can show more
wealth among its farmers than
can Dawson. As county we take
the lead in prosperity, We have
no public debt, and have over
$40, 900 in the treasury. We have
the best class of people. We have
no saloons within our borders,
anu only one pauper, he being a
man about eighty years old. Our
land has advanced FIVE hundred
per cent in the past three years.
We are having the greatest influx
of settlers that has been known
since 1883. Also take a look at
the advancement of Stanley coun-
|ty. Three years ago her land was
not considered worth fling on,
now all her level land is taken up
by actual settlers and what was
considered worthless, g is made to
blossom like I rose. :.
