Estimates of Losses Put High.

London.-The only accounts of the
Japanese victory on the Kin Chau
isthmus comes from Toxic. There is
no official reference to the fighting
from the Russian side. but various
rumors are circulated in st. Peters
burg. The Novoe Vremya states that
the. Japanese suffered terribly from
the cross fire of the Russian batteries.
losing $4,000 killed or wounded. 1t
adds that the Russian losses did not
exceed 1000.
1t is also reported that the japanese
asked for an armistice in order that
they might bury their dead. Another
report states that the Japanese lost
1000 xii. ed.
The capture of the walled town of
Kin Chau itself does not seem to have
been very costly, and the position is OF
little value. 1t was the capture of
the heights beyond, especially Nan
shan Hill, which involved desperate
sacrifices, and which constitutes the
value of the victory.
The nature of the Russian defeat is
equally impossible to state with any
C~OlluueuCS. Liz LepOLlS lCIClNCu illus
far do not indicate that they were
routed. All show that the Russians
hung on with their traditional stub
born bravery.
1t is pointed out here that the alb
sence of any official mention Of the
Japanese capturing artillery may in
dictate that the retreat was orderly.
as only the abandonment Of their guns
would show that the defenders were
d%emoralized. One correspondent alone
refers vaguely to this; the Toxic rep
resentative of the Telegraph, saying
that the Japanese took guns and other
material, aud also a few prisoners. p
The same correspondent reports
that, in the final rush on the Russian
position OH Nanshau Hill. the Japan.
csc drove the defenders out at the
point Of the bayonet. The Russians
retreated down the hill toward Port
Arthur, pursued by the victors.

Fear That She Means to Rep1diate
Further Indemnity Payments.
Washington. D. C.-Military meas
ures on q large scale begun recently by
Venezuela are giving rise to a great
deal of uneasiness and apprehension
here. It is said that a French COM
pany sold Castro's government 1,50O,-
600 liyres worth of artillery, which is
being placed in Notifications at Porto
Cabello and other important coast
ports. The company also contracted
to supply a force of skilled artillery
men to man the guns for a certain
period.
Just what this expensive armament
means when Venezuela is so poor is
a matter of speculation here. and there
is some fear that it is the forerunner

to the west coast Of the peninsula.
These positions were not defended eX-
cept by the force posted at Kin Chau.
This gap was the fatal defect in the
Russian position. AS soon as the ia
panese perceived il, they extended
their right n~orthward and eastward,
envel0ping Kin Chau and the extreme
Russian right. The Japanese also ex-
tended their left Il the shores Of Tai
ienwan Bay, and their centre moved
forward.
The attack on Kin Chau began at
$50 o'clock a. m. The Russian bat
teries on Nanshan Hill opened the az
tillery duel which lasted three hours.
The Russian gunners searched the ia.
panese lines with their fire, but did
not inhict much damage.
The battle was resumed the follow
ing day. three Japanese gunboats join
ing in the attack from Kin ChaT Bay.
\ Russian gunboat in Talienwan Bay
steamed close in shore and Shelled the
Japanese for four hours.
The details received Of the engage
ment from this point on are fragment
airy. The Japanese infantry entered
Kin Chau early in the morning OF the
second day of the battle. the Russians
retiring southwark.
The Japanese attack on the Russian
position on the Nanshan Hill seems to
have been the bloodiest incident Of the
whole series of engagements. The
positions were almost impregnable.
The fighting continued throughout the
day and ragged among the hills all
night. The japanese artillery and
gunboats centred their fire on the
Russian batteries and silenced many
guns.
The Japanese infantry made many
rushes, but were repeatedly checked
by a deadly rifle and cannon fire from
the Russian trenches. After many re-
pulses they finally reformed and
stOrmed the crest of the hill.
The Russians held their ground with
obstinate valor, but were compelled at
last slowly to give way and retired
toward Nankueling. The Japanese
did not gain full possession of the ridge
until Z o'clock in the evening.

SENATOR HOAR
ON THE STATE
MAKES SOME CLEAR AND PLAIN
STATEMENTS ON EQUAL
RIGHTS FOR WOMEN. :

United States senator Hoar once
put IN a nutshell a cogent argument
IN behalf of equal rights for women.
Ge said:
everywhere that domain of the
state which is represented by force is
contracting, and that domain of the
state, which is represented by public
spirit. by charity, by humanity, is en-
larging. When men thought Of gov
eminent ascentury ago, they thought
chiefly of the jail. the criminal court.
the police, the army. To-day. they
think chiefly of. the college. the tech
nical school, the asylum, ne road, the
library, the postoffice, the hospital
and the home. The rank Of the State
among civilized nations is measured
by IT'S colleges, its schools of art and
science, its institutions for reform, for
the cure of the insane, for the educa-
ton of the blind and the leaf and
to the excellence of its libraries. its
schools. its churches and its roads.
NOW the debate between the advo-
Gates of ONE suffrage and its oppo-
nents is, to my mind, but a contest
between two theories of the function
CT the State. If the State is to do
nothing or TO do little but to raise
and discipline armies. to build iails.
and to establish police courts, the less
woman has to do with 1T the better for
her. and the better for the State, ex-
cept that even lere the State must
largely depend pom her for the inStru-
ment91ifiaS which 1To RI f1ir,inicI Tho
evil of war, n lessen it's horrors. If,
on the other hand, it is so to use it's
forces as to put an end to these things,
ii education, justisce, science art.
charity, the promotion of commerce
and manufacture. the healing of dis
ease, the promoting everywhere in
creased reverence for the Individual
soul, be a function to which its great
forces are to be devoted in the future.
then it is indispensable that woman
should have in its management her full
and equal share"
