OUR TICKET

The work of the democratic state
convention has been completed, and
the ticket is one that every democrat
in the state can heartily support.
Henry Heltfeld for governor is the
best nomination that could have been
made. He is man of the people, who
has had experience in state affairs, and
his honesty and ability are unques-
toned. he is free from entaneling
alliances of every kind, and enters
the campaign with an independent
spirit that compels respect, He will
not only carry the full support of his
own party, but will draw many humid
reds of votes from the opposing part
les.
Frank Harris, of Weiser, for lieu
tenant governor, needs no introduc-
ton at our hands. He Is an old
timer, has an extensive practice as q
lawyer, and is jolly good fellow.
The convention honored itself in
naming MIR. Harris for the second
place on the ticket.
+. II. Holizheimer, of Bannock
county, for congress, is a most worthy
nomination. He rs comparatively
new man in the state, having lived in
Utah before moving TO Pocatello,

General Kuroki's headquarters in the
field via Fusan, June PA party of IS
correspondents and military attaches
has been conducted on a tour of the
main Japanese works beyond head
quarters. That the greatest care mas
been taken in building them, the at
taches remarked, temporary defenses
having been constructed with more
pains than most European armies would
take under similar circumstances. AT
Lao Yang, the Russians have guns in
position mounted on the city wall and
trenches on the plain south of the city
extending over an area of 1S0 degrees.
These trenches are so constructed that
they can be flooded during the rainy
season. Recent rains indicate the be-
ginning of the wet season when mill
tary. movements upon a large scale will
be greatly handicapped and perhaps
rendered impossible for months or
more. The Japanese are completing ar
rangements for the transportation
army will be assured regardless of
weather conditions. Koreans are bring
ing in many stories of cossack outrages
in northeastern Korea. According to
these reports the natives have been
forced to furnish supplies to the ma
rauders, who have in return burned the
houses of the villagers and illtreated
their women.
In Justice to the Russians it must be
said that the Chinese hereabouts nave
been literally paid for work and sup
plies during the Russian occupancy. A
few buildings were burned along the
line of their retreat, but towns were
mostly undamaged.

WELCOMED HOME.
Thousands OF Fairbanks Neighbors
Greet Him on His Return.

Indianapolis, June 27.-The welcome
extended to Senator Fairbanks by the
people of indianapolis on his return
home from the Republican national
convention at Chicago. where he was
nominated for vice president, was very
hattering and extremely gratifying to
the senator.
Senator Fairbanks reached his home
city at ESQ O'Clock Saturday night. the
approach of the special train bearing
his party being announced by hundreds
Of steam whistles and by the ringing Of
bells. When the train stopped 10. 600
people cheered and waved a welcome.
In front were several hundred citizens
representing all political parties and in
Guiding the mayor Of the city and the
governor of the state.
The committee representing the Co.
lumbia, Marian and Commercial clubs
and the Merchants association, which
met the senator at Lebanon, had care
fully planned the details and the party
rapidly passed through the shouting
throng to carriages in waiting behind
an escort of 500 members of the Mar
ion club Governor Durbin. Senator
Beveridge and Mayor John W. HOltz-
man occupied the carriages with the
senator following carriages containing
Mrs. Fairbanks and the other women
OF the party. Chairman CortelyOu,
Secretary Payne, John w. Kern, pres
ident of the Commercial club, and Col
oneI Daniel Ransdeu rode in the car
riage following Senator Fairbanks.
The music OF the bands was drowned
in the wave of welcoming cheers that
hurled itself against the buildings as
the procession of fifty carriages started
through the crowded streets. The SEN
atOr bowed his acknowledgements con-
tinually. The warmth of the welcome
was remarked upon with great pleas
ure by the distinguished visitors Of the
party as they drove through the streets.
Many houses were Illuminated and flags
were displayed. Rockets piercing the
darkness above carried in advance the
news of the approach of the senator to
his home.
At Sixteenth and Meridian streets,
near which stands the handsome Fair
banks home, shaded by great forest
trees and hanked by a spacious lawn.
fully 10000 people were awaiting the
party. Cheer followed cheer as the SEN
ator and Mrs. Fairbanks alighted and
entered their door yard, in which a
large platform profusely decorated had
been erected. Seats had been arranged
for the speakers and guests. It fell to
Mayor Hoffman to first express to
the senator the pride Of his neighbors
and their sincere welcome.

POWERS MAY INTERVENE.
If Port Arthur Falls and Japanese
Take Lao Yang.

Tien Tsin. June PA correspondent
of the Associated Press has seen
translation of a private letter from an
officer high in command under General
Kuropatkin to a brother officer giving
a gloomy view of the situation for Rus
sia and making disclosures. The writer
said:
TT is a shame to see officers con-
stantly quarrelling, divided into cliques
and fighting for their own interests un-
til Japan, the common enemy, is for
gotten. Every one, from the viceroy
and Kuropatl1in to insignificant
isubalterns, is quarreDing and unwilling
to obey orders. In the eyes of the CORE
spondents and foreign attaches we are
disgraced. Until the whole system is
changed we can not hope for victory.
Jealousy and suspicion are rampant
throughout the army. The members of
our secret service are so busy spying on
each other that they cannot. apprenend
the spies and Japanese agents, who
work with impunity. Japan seemingly
| knows every plan made by US, which
accounts for many plans having been
changed suddenly. Our brave soldiers
go into war like sheep to the shambles.
No one can deny their loyalty, but until
they are properly officered their loyalty
and zeal are wasted.
Europe now knows we are a divided
house and will profit accordingly.
Those who have the welfare of Russia
at heart can not help feeling that if
Port Arthur falls and Japan takes Lao
! Yang the powers will intervene, to our
eternal disgrace.

Long Expected Clash Between
Main Armies Is On.
Russians Assume the Offensive
Against Gen. Oku.
KUROKI is ADVANCING.
Japanese General Moves Against
KurOpatkin's Left.
Cars Men Enter the Fight
Singing Battle Songs.

Ia Tche Kiao Cbetween Kai Chou
and Hal Cheng), Lao Tung peninsula,
June 81 2:45 a. ma great battle
seems to be impending. A portion Of
the Russian army has assumed the
offensive against the Japanese forces
commanded by General Oku, and it is
reported that General Kuroki is NOV
ing along the Russian left flank
against Hal Cheng. According to a
high placed parsonage, General Ku-
roki's army is strong enough to take
the offensive, and he presumably is
anxious for a decisive action before
the rains begin.
Sharp firing was heard in the hills
yesterday at daybreak and severe
fighting is reported to be in progress
near the village of Ton Cheng. An
officer who gallOped in yesterday
evening reported that the Russians
were gaining the upper hand and
driving back the enemy. This, how
ever, has not yet been confirmed
All day yesterday Russian troops
were hurrying southwark from Tao
Tche Kiao and as night fell battalions
were continuously moving out briskly
to the accompaniment of their battle
songs. CLOUDS OF dust hung over the
marching columns, and the chorus of
the infantry singers was occasionally
interrupted by the rattle and clang of
guns drawn at a smart trOt ana 1Ol-
lowed by gallOpfng SQuadrOnS of cav
airy. 1t was a stirring spectacle to
see the Russian army eagerly hasten
ing singing into battle. The old battle
hymns last heard in the Balkans re-
sounded among the hills and valleys,
as with bayOnets gIittering in the set
ting sun the regimental colors were
borne maiestically forward For
hours after darkness fell over the
scene one could still hear the rattle
OF moving guns, the creakfng of COM
missariat wagons and the tread of
marching men, while occasionally in
place OF the war songs of the soldiers
homely melodies recounting the joys
OF village life, which carried the
minds of the men back to their dis
tant homes in Russia echoed through
the air.
AS this dispatch is filed news has
reached here that General FSuroki is
marching upon Hal Cheng. There
are very many military attaches and
newspaper correspondents here.

VICTORY FOR REBELS.
They Capture the Governments ArtiI-
lerx in Uruguay.

New York, June 27.-According to the
Uruguayan revolutionist junta says a
Herald dispatch from Buenos Ayres,
Argentine the battle fought near Tu-
hambao last Friday, was a great vic
tory for the insurgents. It is asserted
that the revoIutionists captured the
governments artillery and that Colonel
Galarza, in command of the govern
ment troops was seriously wounded
while the governments force lost sew
eraI hundred men.
The Urugayan government emphati-
cally denies this report. 1t declares
that General Sarvai the head of the
revolutionists was severely wounded
and that Colonel Lamas and other
high officials of the insurgents were
killed.
