TYPES OF RIFLES USED.
Japan's Weapon Believed to Be More
Deadly Than the Russians.


The rifle used by the Russians in the
war with Japan is of the 1891 model
invented by Mossini an artillery colonel
It is of three line calibre. or 1862 milli-
metres (about 8 of an nch), the same
as the rifles adopted in Europe from
1866 to 1890 The arm has central
magazine and the stock contains a
cylinder, which works by means of a
lever. The loading of the gun is eff
fected simply and rapidly. The stock
is opened and charge" inserted. BY
lifting the stock it's head meets the base
of the superior cartridge. A spring.
elevator thrusts il into the barrel, the
lever is lowered and the gun is ready
to fire. The discharge made. to reload
all that is needed is to open and close
the stock, each movement introducing
a new cartridge in the rifle barrel. The
rife shoots German -silvered bullet
weighing nearly IA grammes CIT
grains) with an initial velocity of $40
metres (about 500 yards). The cart
ridge weighs 26 grammes (400 grains).
The powder employed, a little mora
than grammes (31 grains), is of the
smokeless variety. This weapon is fur
nished with the old French socket bay
onet 1t is a permanent feature of the
gun 1t has the general range qualities
of the Lebel rifle. Its maximum danger
range is 500 meters.
Colonel Arisaka is the inventor of the
japanese rifle. It's calibre is 6ls milli
meteres, or az of an inch. 1t is of the
Mauser type. with a central magazine.
Its stock is like that of the Russian
rifle, arranged with some differences,
the lever being placed further in the
rear. The rifle works like the Russian
type. But the cartridges instead of be-

JAPANESE STORM A STRONGHOLD
AND WIN AFTER GREAT BATTLE
Hayashi on the Victory.

London. May 27.--Japanese Min
lister Hayashi said today: Win
Chu will be occupied as first base.
The neighboring hills will be
strongly fortified. For food supply
and ammunition Port Dalny will be
a second base. Possession of Kin
Hay Chou will be of invaluable aid
in the campaign against Port Ar
thur. The hills command positions
of the country for several miles in
the direction of Port Arthur. I
presume from the action at Kin
Hay Chou the Russians intend to
make another stand at Port Dalny.
l expect practically all the ,availa-
bic Russian troops have been
moved out from Port Arthur in an
attempt to head off the invest
ment."

Toxic. May 27.-After five hours des-
perate fighting the Japanese captured
Kin Chou yesterday evening. Nan
Guam Ling, stronghold of the enemy,
artillery duel still continues. A.
Russian gunboat bombarded the Japan
ese left flank from Talien Wan bay.
while the Japanese worked with the
army from Bin Chou bay. Vice Admir-
al Togo has now established complete
blockade around the southern end Of
Liao Tung peninsula. This completely
envelopes Port Arthur from seaward
and probably marks the opening OF and
final investment of the town and its
fortifcations. The Japs have swept all
the Russians from their defenses west
Of Talien Wan bay. 1t is now probable
the latter will be capable OF Offering
amy further resistance in the territory
north Of Port Arthur.
Kin Chou castle was occupied by the
morning. Later the Russians were driy-
en- from the position on the southern
heights. The japanese are now in pur-
0lit of the retreating Russians.

The battle ragged on the hill all thru
the night Fragmentary kilograms from
the japanese headquarters report an
engagement is still in progress, that
the Japanese are still pursuing the
Russians south from Nan Shan and
the head of Talien bay. The Russians
had made elaborate preparations to
check the Japanese movement south on
Liao Tung peninsula toward Port Ar

Special to Times es-Republican.
Centerville. May 27.-The alumni of
the State University residing at Gem
terville held meeting last night to
consider the trouble at the school and
the alleged charges against President
MacLean. Resolutions were passed
urging the regents to act deliberately,
not radically, in the MacLean affair,
believing the greater part of the trouble
is from jealousy and politics, aided by
yellow journalism. The sentiment was
that the difficulty be wholly submitted
to the board and not tried thru the
papers of the state. j. M. Wilson and
j. K. Huston will represent the local
alumni at the board meeting in June.

World all before the age of thirty. Civil
service commissioner of the United
"tates' president of the police com

real reforms ever inaugurated were put
III FORCE assistant secretary of the
navy, when Dewey fought the glorious
battle of Manila and from whom that
nero received his orders to proceed at
once from Hongkong, discover the
Spanish fleet and destroy it; colonel of
The Rough Riders and leader of the
grand charge at San Juan hill; Repub-
mean governor of the Empire state at
~ years of age; vice president of the
United States at AZ; president of the
greatest nation OF earth at 43, and Re-
publican nominee for president at the
age of 46 years.
1t Is record of achievement; of in
loihltaple courage; of sincerity; of
honesty; of intexible political integrity;
Of strenuousness, if you please, that has
neVer been surpassed in the history of
me world, and is life lesson to every
youth OF America Roosevelt has ever
nad in view this one plan of action: DO
your duty. and do it as we'll as you
can"
Is there any wonder that the Repub-
lean party Of Idaho and of the whole
nation is proud of its great leader, and
)laces implicit confidence in him? Has
lie ever failed us or shirked a single
luty, however irksome? He is an
American of the best tpye and the
American flag is today respected in
very petty and insignificant govern
nent the world over, and by all the
great world powers, and he will see
hat it is so respected and that our. citi-
ems abroad have every right and pro-
ection they are entitled to.
President Roosevelt Is one of those
men who accomplish things when they
Undertake them without any dilatory
tactics. He settled the great Pennsyl-
yanla coal strike; he settled the Pan
INA canal question, a matter that has
oeen dragging its weary course for over
20 years; he enforced for the first time
The antitrust legislation OF the United
States, and broke the merger OF two
great transcontinental railroads; he
gave to Idaho federal assistance in the
reclamation of vast areas OF arid lands
which Will, in the near future, support
IA population of half q million happy
and prosperous people.
Yes, ne is strenuous, and the Repub-
lean party is proud of him and chal-
enges the Democracy to point to one
act In his official career not true, or
lnpatriotic, or for the good of his peo-
pie and his country.
