GREAT FIGHT
is EXPECTED
st. Petersburg Looks for Bloody
Battle Soon.

st. Petersburg Looks for Bloody
Battle Soon.
st. Petersburg, June 23.-The expec-
tation of great battle has been in
tensified by General Kuropatkin's
speech to General Stakelberg's corps
on Monday at Kai Chou, when the
commander in chief said he would see
the troops soon again, and that they
must settle the Japanese promptly and
they were not going home until this
had been done.
1t is generally understood that he
meant to return from Lao Yang with
a large force and give battle. 1t is
pointed out that he can afford to leave
a comparatively small garrison at Lao
Yang in view of the absence of any
direct advance from Feng Wang
Cheng and the concentration of Jap
anese forces.
In the opinion of many conservative
military men Kuropatkin's massing of
troops at Kin Chou does not necessar-
lily indicate his intention TO give battle,
but merely to check the Japanese adj
vance and defer the occupation of
New Chwang, the possession of which
would be of great advantage to the
Japanese during the rainy season, af-
fording the enemy housing accommo-
dations and enabling them to land
supplies and harass the Russians.
According to latest reports Oku's
main army is still seven miles south of
Senechen.

Snow In Montana.

Butte, Mont, June 24.-An inter-
mittent snow storm has been raging
in this city since s O'Clock last night.
The mountains are covered with a
covering of white, though in the val
leys the snow is melting as fast as it
falls. The temperature ranged during
the night between 30 and 40 degrees
above zero.
While the storm appears to be gem
eral throughout the state it is not
thought the stock interests will suffer,
though some damage may result to
the crops and early fruit.

Peach Shipments.

Messrs. A. L. Weinberg and A. T.
Harmon, representing Weinberg Bros.
of Galesburg, ILL.,, are in the city buy
ing peaches to be shipped in bushel
baskets to the northern markets.
These gentlemen we're here two years
ago and were quite successful in pur-
suing this method of shipment. They
arrived upon the scene ,ction
earlier tn season and ased
several large contracts with our grow
ers for their crops of Elberta peaches,
paying s5c per bushel for this variety.
Among those who have disposed OF
their crops of Elbertas to this firm are:
Johnson Bros, F. NJ. Lopez, r. B.
Jenkins, w. 81. Tatum, j. F. South, @.
d. Kennedy and j. NJ. Willis. They
have also contracted for a thausand
bushels of Elbertas from Q. L. Reed OF
Winfield, Texas.
The shipping of peaches in bushel
baskets may cause revolution in the
fruit shipping business, and the final
result is awaited with interest

The JAPANESE
ARE SUPERIOR
German War Correspondent Says
They Are the Real Thing.

They Are the Real Thing.
Vancouver, b. O., June 23.-Accord-
ing to Otto Van Gottberg, war cores
pondent for the Lakal Anzieger oil
Berlin, who is returning home on ac-
count OF i'll health, and who arrived
here yesterday from the Orient, the
Japanese are superior to any Europe
an army in force. In ian interview he
said:
"Japan wants Corea. The official
statement given out that the Mikado
merely wishes to secure protectorate
over Corea is only diplomatic excuse.
Every prominent Japanese govern
ment and military official from Gener-
al Kuroki down, has at different times
admitted the aim of Japan is to annex
Corea and have it as a part of the Mi
kado's possessions.
"I consider both the naval and mill
tary branches of the Japanese fighting
force as considerably superior to that
of Russia-at least as shown so far in
the campaign.
"The artillery duel really determined
the result of the battle Of the Yalu.
The work of the Japanese artillery
equipped as they were with Shimose
powder, their new explosive, was so
disastrous to the Russian artillery that
the latter was practically annihilated
and the Russian general withdrew his
forces leaving only rear guard of
some 1000 men. 1t was this latter
force which distinguished themselves
by offering stubborn resistance as
long as they we're able to meet the adj
vance of the Japanese.
General Kuroki impressed me as
being very able strategist. He is
very suave, always cool, and during all
the fighting 1 witnessed he was con-
stantly smoking cigar as il nothing
particular was going on"

n.GREEyY TAKEN AWAY
Sheriff Hall Left With His Pris-
 Oner This Morning.

Sheriff c. F. Hall of O'Neill, Neb., left this morning with B. B. M'Greevy, the absconding president of the Elk horn Valley bank of O'Nei1l. As the time for his departure approached, the banker grew more jovial and seemed to relish the notion of returning home after q flight of a little more than a month. I-e h-d been in jail here just a week.
 Speaking of the reward which had been placed upon M'Greevy and which Captain Hi. M'Donald will receive, Sheriff Hall said that the offer of a re- ward for $500 was for the arrest and conviction of both M'Greevy and Cash fer Haggerty. The conviction he said would not be insisted on nor would it be waited for but only half of the amount offered would be paid for the

A CHRISTMAS GIFT-The Repub- lican is indebted to w. J. Murphy for box of oranges as a Christmas gift. It was a very acceptable reminder of the presence of the holiday for finer and more beautiful oranges never grew.
 FAMILY REUNIONS-The family of F. Rays on north Second street were made happy this morning by the arr1- val of MT. and Mrs. w. J. Baldrige of Bloomington H.. who will spend the holidays in this city Mrs. Baldridge was formerly the wife of an older bro ther of MT Rays who has been dead for some years. This is the first visit the Baldridges have made to Arizona, and it is needless to say they enjoyed the genial sunshine of Arizona Christ mas day. Over on the other side of the United States there is another reunion of a part of the Rays family. Marion Rays who is attending the State uni- versity of Illinois, is spending the holi- days with his two brothers who are midshipmen at the U. $. Naval aca- demy. Uncle Sam's boys get no Christ mas leave but their life during the holidays is a little less strenuous and the three brothers will enjoy very much being together once more. Her bert the older of the two midshipmen, is in the present first class which will be graduated the first of February. As the next four years for him will be active service in the navy this was the last chance the boys are likely to have for some years to spend holidays to- gether.
 TO WORK THE RAY-Concerning the report that the owners of the Ray mine, one of the most famous old prop af fn ro- sume work upon it, the Florence Blade says: No authentic confirmation of these rumors was obtainable till Thurs day last, at which time General Mana ger Gordon visited the Blade office and at the solicitation of the editor con scented to say that arrangements were we'll under way for a resumption of operations at the mines. The annual assessment work on the unpatented claims of the group has been completed and Manager Gordon expects to receive orders soon after the first of the New Year to proceed with regular develop ment work at the mines. The company has, wisely we think, decided to thor Oughly develop the mines and block out large ore reserves before refitting> the mill and starting it up so that there may be no cause for a cessation of operations at Ine Idller OH account OL ore shortage. This is good news as it is authentic. There has never been doubt in our minds as to the ultimate success of the Ray mines. We have been familiar with them for twenty five years past and the development work prosecuted on them at different times during that period revealed no indications. If the Ray does not become, when systematically developed, a great producer, then all accepted guides in mineralOgy and geology are a snare and a delusion.

arrest of either of the bankers. He said that probably before his return home the sum of $4OO would be on tlle way to Captain M'Donald.
 It is probable that the case will be slightly complicated by a sensational report. of the arrest of M'Greevy which was sent out of Phoenix a day or two after the arrest. It was stated in that report that when the ofEceT, took M'Greevy into custody, the lat ter told him that all he would get for arresting him would be $500 and that he would do much better by him than that if he would let him go. He would give him $S,00O. It was added that the officer in order to ascertain where MGreevy had the money concealed asked him how he knew that he would get the money. M'Greevy then showed him two certificates of deposit for S25,- 900. When this story got into circuia- ton inquiry was made by Nebraska papers and others regarding the found on MGreevy. As Q matter of fact he had at tho time of his arrest only s1O but he had also certificate of deposit from the Phoenix National bank for $1,CO0. No otlIer money has since been discovered.
 Sheriff Hall is very much pleased with what he has seen of Phoenix in his stay of two days. He spent the greater part of yesterday in driving about the valley, visiting the ostrich farm the Indian school and other points of interest.
