St Petersburg, May 31.-The follow by the general staff: From May 29 to May 30, all has been quiet in the neighborhood of Feng Wang Cheng. At 1O:3O D. m., May 27, a force of Japanese infantry from Kuan Dian Sian com menced a frontal flank attack upon the position occupied by our Cossacks near Shacago, fifteen versts northwest of Kuan Dian Sian. The Japanese un- der cover of darkness. opened a run ming, desultory fire, using field search lights. The Cossacks retired on foot to Chanlin Pass, two versts west of Sha- cago, and subsequently, on Ali Yang Pien Men, sixteen versts west of Chan lin Pass. The firing ceased at ? a. m., May 2S, when the Japanese ceased pur- suit at the entrance of Chanlin Pass.
 The same day the first section of q Japanese detachment approached Ali Yang Pien Men, but afterwards re- tired to the summit of the hills west of the town. At 10 a. Tn. they formed up III order of battle, the force consisting of two battaliOns with one other in re- serve, At II a. m., a battery of ar tillery took up a position and opened fire with shrapnel. While crossing the valley the Japanese infantry, advancing in close formation and suffered heavily. At 11:20 the Cossacks, observing that the Japanese were turning their right flank, retired in. good order on Sat- matza. The fire of the rear guard ceased at ? p. m. We lost two officers and seven COssacks.
 'On May 30 the Japanese advanced toward Saimatsza. Their movements were watched by Cossacks. When this telegram was dispatched the Japanese had not arrived at Saimatsza.

No Probability of a Break
 in Illinois Today
YATES MEN CONFIDENT
They Regard as Victory the Failure of the Opposition to Make Inroads Upon His Forces - Lowden Claims That That Will be Done Today.

Springfield, H., May 31.-At a late hour tonight there is no substantial prospect that the gubernatorial dead lock will end tomorrow. It is reported that I.owden will make another at tempt tomorrow to break into the Yates forces. It is said he expects to get 100 Yates votes, 30 from Hamlin, 30 from Sherman and enough scatter ing votes to swell his total to 400, hop ing that this will be sufficient to loosen the Deneen delegates in Cook county to nominate Lowden. The Yates man. agcrs admit that at some stage of the balloting Kane, Will and DeKalb may go to Lowden, as they did when the stampede was attempted two weeks ago; but this would mean only sixty two votes and that is near the limit
 of the number the Yates people will
 concede as likely to go to Lowden from
 their camp.
 There seems small probability that
 either Hamlin or Sherman will now
 shift their votes until it appears req
 sonably certain that by so doing they
 will be able to break the deadlock. All
 of the candidates held their forces to- gether today, and it appears that to- morroWS Ballots will show no material change. So far as known there are no conferences in progress tonight of an important nature. At 10 o'clock Gov ernor Yates who has been passing the evening quietly, with friends in an up- stairs room in the Leland hotel an nounced that he was going home to re- tire for the night T can discover absolutely no change in the situation, 5 was his parting comment.
 Yates general committee, consisting
 of d man from each county held a meeting today and was addressed by the governor who said the failure of the opposition to break his forces to- day had, in view of all that had been predicted, amounted to a substantial victory. Several stand-pat speeches were made.

The Metal Workers and the
 Association
BRINGING 10 A FOCUS
The Association Decided to Take Steps to Bunch All the Strikes Into One Big One and Have It Out With the Workers.

Chicago May 31.-Three thousand machinists employed in the companies that compose the Metal Trades as sociation went on strike tonight as protest against the ten-hour day and practically all of the one hundred and fifteen shops represented in the association will be closed tomorrow. No effort will be made to operate the shops until Thursday and then the force of the employers will be cen tralized at a few plants.
 The ten-hour day was inaugurated by the employers for the purpose Of bringing the strike to a crisis. In a statement sent out tonight by the off cers of the association it is declared that the employers had no intention of returning to the ten-hour day but they were compelled to take this step to combat the slow individual strike cam paign, which was commenced by the Machinists' union some time ago.

ANOTHER INJUNCTION
Asked for by the P. Q E. Against the
 Arizona Eastern.

Florence, May 31 (SpeciaD-The ob- structive operations of the so-called Arizona Eastern have led the Phoenix & Eastern Railway company to apply fer another injunction to protect it's construction outfits and grade from in- terference at the hands of the Arizona Eastern. The application was made to Judge DOan today, and he will hear the matter at Tombstone next Saturday.
 Representatives of the Phoenix SS Eastern showed that the construction of that line between Kelvin and Dud- leyville is being seriously interfered with, contrary to promises made by the Arizona Eastern when the former in- junction was dissolved. It was shown, for example, that one cut, thirty feet deep, through rock, was in imminent danger of being filled up by the men employed by the Arizona Eastern, who are working on all sides of the Phoenix & Eastern graders. It was suggested that while there was nothing to indi- cate that the Arizona Eastern was at tempting to construct a railroad in good faith, in any event the court should balance the equities and ascer- tain who would be most injured were the statu quo to be continued, and who would be most injured should the in- Junction issue.
 Judge Doan stated that he did not wish to grant the injunction without giving the other side notice, and ac- cordingly set next Saturday for the hearing.

HELD UP BY NEGROES.
Pullman Office Cashier at Portland,
