BALFOUR'S
STATEMENT
England's Premier Questions
Right of Russia To Sink
Neutral Vessels.
British Government Demands
Full Satisfaction For
Loss of Ship.

London. July 2S.-That the British
government regards the sinking of the
steamer Knight Commander as
breach of International law was con
firmed by Premier Balfour in the
house of commons during the after
noon.
Answering questions regarding the
destruction of the Knight Commander
and the seizure of the Malacca and
other vessels the premier said he
hoped to be in position to make
brief statement regarding the Malacca
shortly. AS to the sinking of the
Knight Commander he regretted that
information which has reached me
confirmed this regrettable occurrence"
Mr.. Balfour added:
There is no question of loss of life,
but am afraid there is a question of
breach of international law"

BRISK FIGHTING OCCURRED.
Japanese Report Of the Capture OF
Tatchekiao.

Washin fton, July 2S.-The Japanese
legation has received the following dis
patch from the foreign Office at Toxic:
General Oku reports that on July
"a our army commenced an attack on
the enemy posted on Tapingling and
other eminences near TatchekiaO
which were fortified with strong de-
fensive works. The enemy's line OF
operation extended over ten miles
from east to west. The enemy con
sisted of about five divisions, with at
least 100 guns. The right wing of our
army reached the heights three kilo
meters southeast of Tapingling and
there ensued the exchange of severe
artillery fire. Our advanced lines had
to withdraw until darkness before the
enemy's artillery fire, as the local sit
uation did not permit our artillery to
fire with full effect. At 1 p. m. a de-
tachment from our right wing dis
lodged the enemy from the position
around Tapingling. Then, by success.
sive attacks till daybreak, we captured
all the positions commanding Tatche-
kiao and are now pursuing the enemy
toward that place. Our casualties are
estimated at S00."

STATE WINS FINAL APPEAL.
Minnesota Gets Title to Valuable Min
eraI Lands.


st. Paul, July 2S.--The state of Min
nesota has won the final appeal in the
contest for title to the thirty-seven-
acre tract of mineral land on the
Mesaba range, which the state auditor
estimates has at least 100000 tons
of iron ore on which the state will re-
ceive royalty of 25 cents ton. The
state auditor has received a decision
from Secretary Hitchcock of the
United States department of the in
terror holding that the tract in ques-
tion is swamp land and therefore the
property OF the state under the swamp
land grant of 1860
The decision of the secretary of the
interior marks the close of one of the
hardest fought legal battles in the his
tory of Minnesota. F. A. Hyde & Co.,
who claim title to the land under for
estry scrip, appealed twice from the
decision of United States Surveyor
General e. S. Warner of st. Paul and
once from the decision of w. A. Rich
ards, commissioner Of the United
States general land Office Both sides

FIRE IN LARD REFINERY.
Overheated Dynamo Starts Blaze i.
Chicago Stock Yards.

OVerneateQ dynamo starts Blaze in
Chicago Stock Yards.
Chicago. July 2S.-Fire broke out
among the -packinghouses in the
stock yards during the day in the lard
refinery of Swift & Co. and soon
gained such headway that every avail
able fire engine in the stock yards dis
trict was called out. Rumors of incen-
diarism were rife. Examination, how
ever. apparently showed the cause of
the blaze to have been an overheated
dynamo. The building, $50 by $50
feet and three stories high, was filled
with tierces of lard, many of which ex-
ploded, spreading the burning grease
in every direction.
The firemen were hampered in going
into action by numbers of cattle and
sheep which were being driven along
Exchange avenue, the main thorough
fare OF the stock yards. The fire
threatened number of buildings
nearby, but the fremen managed to
keep the flames from spreading.

DEMANDS FULL PREPARATION
GREAT BRITAIN REsENTs SINK.
ING OF STEAMER BY VLADl-
vosTok SQUADRON.

London, July 2S.-The British gov
ernment is sending instructions. to Sir
Charles Hardinge, the British ambas
sador to Russia, to energetically pro-
test against the sinking of the British
steamer Knight Commander by the
Russian Vladivostok squadron. Until
the presentation of the note to the
Russian government the greatest Sc
crecy will be maintained regarding its
contents, but it is known that Premier
Balfour and his colleagues have de-
cided to demand that the fullest repair
alton Shall be made by Russia or
measures will be taken to follow up
the diplomatic demands.
The British note, as Sir Charles Har-
dinge will submit it, will not mention
the amount of indemnity Russia must
pay the owners of the ship and British
subjects having goods on board the
vessel, but all that will be sought will
be the establishment of the principle
Of indemnity and apology. A salute
of the British flag must also be con-
ceded and the future protection of neu
trail shipping assured.
The attitude of the British govern
ment is the result of the thorough
consideration given to the reports re-
ceived from Sir Claude Macdonald,
the British minister at Toxic, and the
examination of international law au-
thorities by legal experts. The dis
patches from Sir Claude Macdonald
confirm the reports that the Knight
Commander had no contraband of war
on board for Japan. The government
and all the British authorities, it is
asserted, unite on the point that there
was no justification for the sinking of
the vessel.
It is felt in government circles that
the knight Commander incident over.
shadows the Red sea seizures, which
practically have been adjusted, but
which have failed to settle the ques-
tion of the rights of neutral COM
merce.
In the light of the declaration of the
Russian government respecting CONTRA
band of war made three weeks after
hostilities commenced no representa-.
tions have been made by Count Benck-
endorff, the Russian ambassador to
Great Britain, to Foreign Secretary
LansdoWne regarding the knight Com
mander, the ambassador not having re
ceived advices from st. Petersburg on
the subject, nor is it seen by the Rus
sian diplomats how it is possible for
their government to make prompt an
swer to the British demands. 1t is not
known when the Vladivostok squadron
will return to port The commander
of the squadron, it is pointed out, un-
questionably seized the papers of the
vessel including her manifest, and
therefore will be able to present rea-
sons to show why he sank the ship,
and with these reasons in their pos
session the Russian authorities will be
able to complete their answer to the
British representations.

DECISIVE SERIES OF BATTLES,
Japanese Hope to Force Russians Into
Tight Corner.

Toxic, July 2S.-It is believed in
military circles here that the begin
ming of the end Of the first great phase
of the land campaign is at hand The
operations OF Generals Oku and Nodzu
agaist kuropatkin's south front are
thought to have co-ordinated with the
forward movement of Kuroki against
the railway, making it practically i'm
possible for the Russians to escape a
decisive series of battles. The JAP

enemy SO thoroughly that an oDDor.

Nevertheless preparations are complete
for campaign in the north should it
