The Russian View of the No Tien Pass nCident-nusCOvite Interpre- tation of the Treaty Regarding the Removal of the Black Sea Fleet.

Liao Yang, July 19.-A general en- gagement, 1t is said here. began this moyning to the east between the forces of Lieutenant General Count Keller and General Kuroki. It is also re- ported that another engagement began simultaneously at Ia Tche Kiao, from which the Japanese for some days have been only six miles distant. \
 The Associated Press correspondent lately traversed the Feng Wang Cheng road. which is at the height of military activity and offensive with the odor of dead animals. A Cossack report of an inspection of the Japanese camp shows that the Japanese troops are suffering from dysentery. which is now at the worst stage.
 The best information received here indicates that the siege of Port Ar thur is now being much more closely pressed, and there are more extrava- gant rumors of losses on both sides. No foreign correspondent has yet wit messed even the simplest military operation but yesterday the corres- pondents were notified that they may go to Ia Tche Kiao.

POLICE HELD THE WIRES
The POoIrOoms Deprived of the News
 From Brighton Beach.

New York, July 19.-Police Inspector Brooks ana 40 detectives went to the Brighton track this afternoon and blocked all the racing news sent over the Western Union wires, filing scores of messages after each race. Between 2 o'clock ard 4 o'clock the police had filed ever 400 telegrams and sent sim liar number of telephone messages. The pool room men were frantic over the situation and what little news they had sent had to be sent over outside wires and very late. The service for
 newspapers was also delayed.
 Inspector Brooks declined to explain his action, but some of the detectives were more talkative. They said that complaint had been made that com merciaI telegrams were being side tracked by the Western Union m fa- Vor of the racing messages. No one but the pool rooms had a chance at tLe race track telegraph office, it was said. A test case was being made, explained. the dftectives, to show how much there was in the complaint.
 Each telegram filed by the police men was taken at the track and men at this end took the time when tnev received them. So far as could to seen thls afternoon no preference was shoWn by the operators. Each tele- gram was filed in it's turn and all tba pool rooms in town were held mn ir 'he payment of bets by the delay

She fell on ethe ground, and Altamirano, thinking he had nor tally wounded her, decided to waste no ammunition but undertook to finish her by beating and kicking. He left her for dead.
 She was able to travel the next day and came to Phoenix. She was a pitiful spectacle, a mass of bruises. When Altamirano learned that she had survived and come to Phoenix he fol- lowed her but in the meantime q couple of witnesses of the affair had gone to Prescott and told about it. Two other witnesses, a man and hii wife, came to Phoenix.
 A warrant was issued for the arrest of Altamirano. But notwithstanding the story of the Prescott witnesses there was a mystifying circumstance. No body else in the Skull valley country could be found who had heard any thing about it. That was explained last night, for the thing did not hap pen in that neighborhood at all, but ali a. section house this side of Date Creek, ten miles beyond Congress Junction.
 AltamiranO, who is a resident of Phoenix, has been making a series ol efforts to break into the pententiary. He has been in jail a number of times and once he was indicted by, the grand jury for a violation Of the Edmunds act Att the trial, though, the principal witness for the government refused tC tell what she had told the grand jury and the case failed for want of hel testimony.

RUSSIAN EXPLANATION.

St. Petersburg, July 19.-The Rus sian authorities apparently are tran quiL on the subject of vessels of the volunteer fleet passing through the DardaneIles. They maintain that they are perfectly within their rights as there is absolutely noShing in the treaty of Paris to prevent their pas- sage as merchantmen and their subse- quent conversion into cruisers. There is no question of a false declarat ton having been made at Constantinople.
 l. was pointed out that before the war vessels of the volunteer fleet car rying arms, ammunition and soldiers, passed without the shadow of a ques- ton being raised.

THE HAMLET OF ESOPUS
It's Aware Now That IL Is Center of Importance - Conjectures Regard ing the Plans of Judge Parker Dur ing the Campaign.

Esopus, \. Y., July 19.-EsOpus to-k on a new atmosphere today with the arrival of the first train bringing New York newspapers. The conference oE New York democrats held last night at the Hoffman house was the subjsCt of the keenest interest, even to the Vil- lagers, who heretofore have bcen con- tent in the knowledge CT Judge Park CTS nomination without boJhering about any of the details or gossip con nected with his campaign. The judge himself showed an interest beyond his usual calm and at breakfast read the newspaper accounts Of the conference with close attention, but as usual with out any comment which could reach the newspaper men.
 So far as the notification is concern an effort to get Judge Parker to be- gin his active campaign in the middle west with a speech at Chicago soon after the notification ceremonies. IL is understood that Mayor Carter Harri- son of Chicago is anxious not only Co have the first big gun of the campaign fired in Chicago, but to have Judge Parker and w. J. Bryan on the plat form together upon that occasion. or course, nothing definite on that subject can be learned here. for Judge Parker absolutely refuses to discuss any Of his plans subsequent to his notification
 So ar as the notification is concerned. it will be held at RoseGnOnt. Judge Parker intends to remain here throughout the campaign, save perhaps for two or three absences to make speeches in the large cities. such as Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and possibly Brooklyn.

A TRIAL OF ANARCHISTS.
Russia Associated With the Murders
 of Foreign Rulers.

Koenigsburg, July 19.-At today's session of the court, which on July F began the trial of the seven social denl- ocrats accused at the 'nstanCe Of the Russian government of smuggling an archistic literature into Russia, the testimony given shows that some O. pamphlets in question appealed 60 the amy, urging the soldiers to make corn mon cause with the people, to disobey the command to fire on the populace. to shoot into the air and to turn their bayonets against the officers.
 The defense, near the close of the session, created a sensation by mcV- ing to summon Mayor Petkoff of So- fla, Bulgaria, a former Russian dra- ggeman, Jacobbsohn of Rushchuk. Bulgaria, and the editor of a Sofia newspaper, in order to prove that the Russian government had been keeping agents in the Balkans since 1881, to in- cite the people against their rulers. The defense wants to proXe through these witnesses the Russians responsibility for the murder of King Alexander O. Servia and Premier Stambuloff of Bull Raria, from which to draw the con . clusion that Russia is not a civilized state with a claim for the protection of the German courts. The states at- torney opposed the motion, but the court took the matter under consider ation ard adjourned until tomorrow
 Another sensation of the day was a telegram from the foreign office stat ing that a treaty between Germany and Russia, covering paragraph 26O of the Russian penal code does not exist. The paragraph refers to punishment for high treason against foreign poten- tates, which was shown to apply only where a treaty explicitly provides for if

The Russian Losses Greater Than at
 First Reported.

St. Petersburg, July 19.-The war of fee has no further details of the Rus sian repulse at Mo Tien pass. The loss of the men which it is freely ad mitted will probably be considerably in exces of General Kuropatkin's fig ures given out last night, is greatly de- plOred.
 But evidently the engagement at least served the purpose of demonstrating that General Kurokfs army has been heavily reinforced in the north and the general staff is now inclined to be- lieve that the Japanese commander may have decided that a frontal at tack from the south is inadvisable an is concentrating his forces for direct attack on Liao Yang.
