STRONG RUSSIAN POSITION JUST
ABOVE PORT ARTHUR TAKEN,
AFTER HARD FIGHT.
SERIES OF RUsHEs CHECKED ~
IDEALLY RIFLE AND CANNON
FIRE OF DEFENDERS.
JAP VICTORY IS COMPLETE, BUT
THEIR CASUALTIES NUMBER
Three THoUeAND.

Toxic, May 2s.-The Japanese army
swept the Russians from K1nchou
Thursday morning and in a desperate
attack stormed the almost i'm
pregnable position of the Russians on
Nanshan hill, west of Talienwan.
Subsequent reports indicate that the
storming Of Nanshan hill was a bloody
affair. The Japanese first conferred
their fire on the Russian batteries, IN
which they were aided by four gun
boats from Kinchou bay. They sue
ceeded in silencing many of the en-
emy's guns.
The Russians had constructed q
series Of trenches around the hill on
q terrace protected by wire entangle-
ments and other such devices.
The Japanese made a series OF
rushes. but they were in vain. The
deadly rife and cannon fire of the
enemy checked them repeatedly.
Finally, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
the Japanese reformed and stormed
the crest OF the hill. The Russians
held to their position doggedly and it
was Z o'clock in the evening before
the Japanese finally gained possession
of the ridge.
The Japanese troops fought bravely
for sixteen hours under an extremely
heavy fire before clearing the Russians
from the Southern heights after a
brave resistance. The Muscovites
made several attempts to retake the
hills, but after much loss of life re-
tired from the narrowest part of the
peninsula. which had been held so
long.
Admiral Togo has established a
blockade around the southern end of
the Liaotung peninsula. completely
.enveloping Port Arthur. This marks
the anal investment Of the fortress.

JAP CASUALTIES BIG
AND WOUNDED IN FIGHTING
AROUND KINCHOU.

Toxic, May 28.-Japan paid heavily
tor her victories at Kinchou, Nanshan
and Talienwan, losing 5000 men in
killed and wounded in the repeated
assaults against these positions, but
she scored a sweeping and valuable
victory over the Russians, capturing
fifty guns, clearing the way to Port
Arthur and indicting losses on the
Russians which in the end are expect
Cd to total 1000 men.
It ID doubted if the Russians will
stand again north of Port Arthur.
They retired from the field beaten and
they failed to rally at NanQuanling,
where it was anticipated that a second
stand would be made.
The desperate onslaughts of the
Japanese on the heights of Nanshan
were telling, for the Russians left 800
dead in the trenches there. A CON-
plete search of this field is expected
to show a greater number of dead.
Jap Soldiers Greatly Fatigued.
Nanquanling was occupied Friday
morning by a force of infantry, artil-
lery and engineers under the command
of General Nakamura. The main Jap
anese force spent Friday night billet
ed in the villages around Nanshan.
The soldiers were greatly fatigued as
a result of the constant fighting, but
they entered with much spirit upon
the new operations. A force of Rus
slams held Sanchilpu station, which is
northwest of Dalny, but the Japanese
drove them out.
The Russians abandoned and burned
the station and retired in the direction
of Port Arthur.
The estimates of the Russians en-
gagged in the defense Of Kinchou, Nam
shan hill and the south shore of Ia
lienwan vary, but it is evident that
the Russians drew for men from the
forces at Port Arthur and offered all
the resistance possible. It is under
stood here that Lieutenant General
Stoessel, commander of the military
forces at Port Arthur, was in personal
command Of the recent operations. Az
soon as the Japanese troops have rest.
ed they will press on to the south.

INVALUABLE TO JAPS.
Fall Of Kinchou Will Aid in Campaign
AgainstePort Arthur,

London, May 27.-Baron F4ayashi,
the Japanese minister, discussing the
recent lighting north of Port Arthur,
said:
"Kinchou will be occupied as a first
base. The nejghboring hills will be
strongly fortified in order that they
a be held indefinitely. For food
supplies and ammunition Port Dalny
will be second base.
1.-THE possession of Kinchcu will be
of invaluable aid in the campaign
against Port Arthur. The hills com
mand positions Of the country for sew
eTal miles in the dill ection OF Port Ar
thur. | presume fIcm the action at
Kinchon that the Russians intend to
make another stand at Port Dalny,
Their justification for defending Kin
chou must have been the belief that
their numbers were able to COPE with
ours; so expect that practically all
the available Russian troops have been
moved out from Port Arthur in the
attempt to head off the investment"

May PROBE BEEF TRUST
House Has Resolution Ordering Ac-
tion by Commerce Department.
HOW THE LAW is VIOLATED

CONGRESSMAN Martin Tells Committee
How Injunction Against Chicago
Packers Was Being Violated-Enor'
nous Profits.
Washington, March 2.-Whether the
beef trust is violating the injunction
resting against it is TO be made the
subject OF official investigation by the
department of commerce and labor, ac-
cording TO a resolution ordered report
ed favorably to the house by the COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce. Should the house take favor
able action on the resolution, which Is
TO be called up at the earliest possible
moment by Chairman Hepburn, 1t VIII
constitute the first instructions from
congress to the new department to ex-
ercise the powers given 1t under the
law 10 investigate the operation Oh IN
dustrial institutions.
The resolution was introduced IN the
house February 1, by Representative
Martin. Of South Dakota. Mr.. Martin
was given an extended hearing by the
committee. in which he made the as
sertion that the beef trust" was yio-
lating the spirit OF the Injunction, II
not its letter. The resolution was
amended so as to provide that the re-
port OF the investigation should 90 TO
the president as provided in the law
creating the new department, instead
OF 10 congress.
Should the investigation show viola
tions OF the injunction the matter VIII
undoubtedly be referred by the presl-
dent 10 the department OF justice, and
the trust proceeded against for con-
tempt OF court
To illustrate how he believed the In
junction against the beef trust was
being eyaded by that combination,
which. he stated, consisted OF seven
concerns. Mr.. Martin said he was told
by a stockman that he had just sold a
train load OF fat steers in Chicago.
When he arrived in that city he sought
bids for his stock lie went TO the
various concerns. but could secure a
bid from only one. He finally accept
ed this bid. His curiosity had been
aroused. and he resolved to see what
the reason was for this condition. That
night the steers were separated into
seven equal lots and sent TO the seven
different concerns. Explaining further.
Mr.. Martin said that before the in
junction was issued it was the custom
OF these firms 10 agree the night before
on the price they would bid the next
day for beef on the hoOf.
To illustrate the profit that he as
serted was being made by the beef
trust" Mr.. Martin said that on Febru-
airy /. 1902. the price Of good to extra
steers" was $3.50 per hundredweight,
and the price of good to extra beef
sides" was $S37lz; on August l. 1908.
the price Of beef sides was the same as
on February !. but the price OF live
beef had dropped TO S5l7 per hundred
weight. During the month OF August
9g3. 600 steers were sold on the Chicago
market. making, according to Mr.. Mar
tin. an additional profit to the trust
for the month of $3SS2. 263. This sum,
he declared, would permit of the pay
ment Of $4,000 per day fine by the seven
companies for violation Of the injunc-
ton and leave a handsome profit re-
sulting from the control of the price
OF beef.
