born defence. They were. however,
each time recaptured by the Russians
at the point of the bayonet.
The Japanese left d number of dead.
After each bayonet engagement the
Russians dug pits in front of their po-
| sitlons. These in some cases were
| completely filed with Japanese
| corpses The Japanese losses must
have been enormous. The dispatch

The news Of the evacuation of Lao
Yang and the withdrawal of the Rus
sian army to the right bank of the Tai
Use River reached only small section
OF the people of st. Petersburg at
late hour and caused intense excite
ment and disappointment.
The majority of the inhabitants re-
tired to rest, believing that Russian
arms had again been successful, and
that the Japanese attacks had been
repealed
Ugly suspicious, however, had been
rife during the day, owing to the alb
sence of press kilograms from Lao
Yang, leading to the belief that the
communications had been cut by Cen
eral Kuroki.
The following statement was OBJ
tanned by The Associated Press from
the War Office at 10 o'clock at night.
General Kuroki's army crossed in
force to the right bank Of the Tai-Tse
River. and it therefore became neees-
sary for the Russians to be in a posi-
ton to repel a blow in this direction.
In view of this development in the
operations, General Kuropatkin decid-
ed to abandon his positions on the left
bank and to concentrate his whole
army on the other side of the river.
This position is the strongest. both in
character and site.
BY withdrawing to this position the
Russian army avoids the danger Of
being divided by the river, and enjoys
the advantage Of compactness.
General Kuropatkin's move, there
fore, is not to be considered as re-
treat, but rather as the carrying out
of a well-defined idea.n
The determined pursuit by the jap
aneSe of the Russian outnosts whom
General Kuropatlin gave tbe first or.
der to withdraw was probably due to
south of Liao-Yang until General ts,rs
roki should be able 70 strike FROM tba
northeast. General Kuronatkin how
ever. saw the tran and cIeverlv avoid
ed it.

WENATCHEE LETTER
The Wenstchee-W aterSbe Dsoate
Results in a Victory FOR
tire Former.
(From our regular correspondent.

The Waterville- Wenatchee debate
between the high school scholars OF
Waterville aud Weuatcbee took place
at the Baptist church at Wenatehee on
the Sth inst. A number the Water
vile people accompanied their efficient
debaters. Among a number oil the
class mo es of the Waterville debaters,
as well as other students. In the AFTER
noon the Cadets Of the Wenatchee hlgn
sch DOL paraded the streets with nie ana
drum, carrying the flag. and the We
natchee class colors. The class spirit
in the afternoon, and in the evening
before the debate, was indeed at lever
heat, though, all coed naturedlt., and,
strange to say, but happily SO, 1t was
not marred with the usual bad feeling
between two schools when there Is a
contest to be had between them.
The debaters as they were introduced
were cheered to the echo by their adj
miring friends and school mates. A
short program was rendered before the
debate consisting principally OF songs
by the pupils OF the Wenatchee High
School.
The question for debate was Re
solved that the theories of Thomas JET
ferson have had more influence In de-
termiaing the character OF our national
goverEment than those advanced by
Alexander Hamilton" The debaters
OF Watewille who had the affirmative
side of the question were, Richard
Brennesholz. Gladys Harris and Gale
Matthews and TO say that they handled
the subject with skilLis certainly no
exaggeration. The Wenatchee deba-
ters who had The negative side of the
question. consisted of Louis Williams,
Nora Shotwel and Claude Mills, and
they too showed that they were capable
of thoroughly investigating the subject
and that they were masters oil the sit
uation was evidenced by a unanimous
decision of the audience, whom were
no less chan could possibly have gotten
into the large aud con2modious Baptist
church of Wenatchee, besides the unan-
imous decision OF the judges which was
in favor of the Wenatchee High School.
The most pleasant feature Of the de-
bate was that the Watervile people
were thoroughly satisfied with their
treatment while in Wenatchee. as well
as with the decision OF the judges
They felt and knew that they, as we'll
as their ardent admirers, confessed that
Wenatchee had won fairly and square
Nv in every way and all united to eX-
tend the glad hand to the successful de-
baters.
After the debate the Wenatchee
High School treated the Waterville be-
baters and their friends, the teachers
of both the High School and the graded
school, also the Judges who were, A.
b. Steiner of Wateryille. Henry Grass,
of Wenatchee and Prof E. S. Meany,
of the State University. to nice repast
and the pupils of the High School OF
Wenatchee acting as walters. All IN
all it was a success in every way and
certainly one of the most pleasant OF
many pleasant days in school life.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1904-04-15

DR.. Mccoy gave the school house g
thorough fuRaigation last week. Every
thing in the school house was opened
up, such as books, desks and closets, to
make sure that the fumes of the germi-
eide might penetrate every possible
lurking place for diphtheria germ
The unusual number of cases of this dis
ease that have made their appearance
in Leavenworth the past winter ought
to arouse our people to the Importance
of adopting measures TO prevent the
spread of the disease in the future.
The quarantine rules should be strictly
enforced. and during for at least thirty
days after diphtheria patients have re-
covered public meetings OF every kind
ought to be forbidden. 1t is fact we'll
known to the medical profession that a
crowded room, with little or no venti-
lation is one OF the best places in the
world to spread disease.
The past winter Leavenworth has had
from seventy-five to hundred cases OF
diphtheria, with, fortunately, but three
deaths. This extraordinarily small per
centage of mortality can only be ac-
counted for on the ground that our
physicians have been not only efficient,
but careful and prompt to apply the
remedy which has been approved by
the medical profession. 1t is safe to
say that but for the prompt use of anti
toxine in every case, and even in some
cases where the doctors were in doubt
the number OF deaths would have been
multiplied by ten. Before the discov-
cry of this boon to mankind the mortal
ity from diphtheria was simply fright
full.
This week DR.. Shore sold the lot adj
joining his drug store to John Bjork
for eight hundred dollars. Just about
three years ago DR.. Shore bought this
lot for seventy dollars. Leavenworth
dirt is becoming every year more val
liable and those who are so fortunate as
to own some of it may congratulate
themselves. Mr.. Bjork erected q build
ing on the lot, which he is using as a
restaurant, under lease about two
months ago, but decided to buy it this
week.
