Liaoyang,-The japanese lost 20(
killed and a number of horses in the
fight at Vagenfuchu May 30. The Rus
SLAMS opened fire at In the morning
and after two hours and half long
range firing the Japanese under Gen.
Akkiama, prepared to charge and
crush the force which had been har-
RAISING them for 81 days.
In the meantime Gen. Samsonoff was
approaching Vagenfucnu with a strong
force CT cavalry. The Russian squad
rons formed and rushed like a whirl-
wind across the terribly cut up coun-
try, clearing away all obstacles, the
batteries at the same time trotting
along the frightful roads Having
passed the railroad station the troops
came under the fire of thhe Japanese
machine guns, but withdrew without
suffering much loss.
The 4th and 9th companies of the
8th Siberian Cossacks furiCusly charg-
ed the japanese cavalry with lances,
j.....oi,in.- -bv,i,-nuurs.- III a rev MIN
utes they literally cut the whole squad
ron into pieces.
The japanese infantry, numbering
four battalions of 300 men to a COM
pany and eight squadrons of cavalry,
attempted to advance, but the Russian
batteries opened and soon the slope up
which the enemy was advancing was
covered with dead and wounded and
the enemy was forced to scatter and
retire. Some of the Japanese cavalry
were wonderfully dashing, charging
with shouts upon the Russians, who
met and scattered them.
The Japanese used the Boer trick Of
displaying dummies. but the Cossacks
did not waste a shot on them.
Gen. Samsonotf highly praised the
practice of the Russian gunners.

The Torrens System.

q y
we are glad. to see that q bill has been
introduced in the General Assembly to
give the land holders in Virginia the bene-
fit Of the Torrcns land registry system.
1t is not an experiment 1t has been
tested In other countries and In other
States Of this Union, and It has proven
itself to be entirely satisfactory. There Is
abundant literature on the subject, and
it Is to be hoped that members Of tho
General Assembly who are, not familiar
with the system. will study tho question
thoroughly. If they will do So VIC have
no doubt but that they will reach q
favorable conclusion,
Mr.. u, @. Masse OF Richmond. Is the
best informed man In the State. perhaps,
on the Torrens system. and he will be
glad to talk with any and all members
of the General Assembly, who may wish
to understand It In principle and in Its
practical operation.

Major Daniels Letter.

In the Confederate column of to-days
issue we print an interesting letter from
Major John W. Daniel. in which he
shows that tho losses of Plckett's dlVi-
sion In its charge at Gettysburg were
very much larger than they ans usually
stated to be. In fact, the loss OF life In
this division was more than double
that commonly attributed to It! Other
commands claim that they suffered
greater losses; Of that he Challenges
proof.
Major Daniel backs his statement by
tables made up from original reports IN
the War Records Office at Washington.
Unluckily, these tables. in the making up
OF forms, vera separated from the Ma
jor's letter Ito which they were APP
pended, and are to DO found on page
8 of this section. Taken in connection
With his letter, they form a truly valu-
able chapter IN the history of the battle
of Gettysburg, The Mississippi brigade,
to which no refers, was Dayis's, not
Dun's. as printed.
