st. Petersburg are delayed owing TO
storms on the continent.
st. Petersburg, August 6.-(4:55 a. MIA
Russian correspondent of the Association
Press describing the general Japanese ad-
vance of Sunday last, east of Lao Yang,
says that one of the Japanese columns,
taking advantage of the complicated net
work of mountain paths and deep gorges,
actually crept around the rear of the
Russian position before being discovered.
He explains this by saying that the topo-
graphy of the country is so complicated
and scanned with ravines that two hos
tile armies might be within the space OF
half of mile without suspecting each
others existence.
In describing the fighting around
simoucheng the correspondent paints
vivid picture of fighting all day long In
the sitting dust and the torrid heat
From an eminenee on which he Stood
the correspondent could see down to the
westward plantations of waving kaolin
the crown of which was so high that
squadrons of Japanese cavalry wended
their way within a quarter of mile of
the Russian cavalry, neither side sus-
pecting the proximity of the other.
BY Small Clouds of Dust.
The correspondent could detect the
movements of the infantry through the
fields only by the small clouds OF dust
which were raised.
The crises came when the Japanese bat
teries enfiladed the Russian gunners. Then
the order was given to retire and Major
General Mistchenko's cavalry, a brigade
of artillery and the Barnual regiment COW
cred the retreat.
The Japanese swarmed into Barnaul's
trenches, coming SO close that the Rus
slams actually wrenched the guns from
their hands, clubbing the Japanese with
their own rifles
Some of the infantry continue to fight
at an enormous sacrifice. One company
lost all its officers and most of its nles
In addition te the terrific heat of rhe
day and the battle. the correspondent
says that the Russian soldiers suffered
dreadfally because they were Obliged to
carry their overcoats and equipment
Suffer Greatly From Heat.
The number of sunstrokes was great To
add further to their mystery. the water in
their canteens soon became exhausted,
and the springs were nearly dried up by
the torrid heat Surgeon Kerinovitch
said it was actually so hot that some OF
his men burned their hands on the brass
buttons and buckles of the soldiers as they
undressed the wounded.
Only when night fell, did the troops get
relief. The wounded were removed in
Red Cross cars which had been specially
arranged for this purpose at Haicheng.
The correspondent mentions that the
One Hundred and Thirty-seventh regi-
ment belonging to the Thirty-fifth divis-
ion of the Seventeenth army corps were
engaged in this fight. This is the first de-
finite information that any of the troops
of the Seventeenth army corps were on
the firing line.

COOPER REPRIEVED
BY. THE GOVERNOR
ALL ARRANGEMENT HAD BEEN
MADE FOR ANGING-CITiZEN
OF PUNTA GoRDA SHOOT AT.
EFFIGY OF THE GOVERNOR.

Arcadia, Fla. August 5.-Isiah Cooper
was not hanged here today for the MUIR
der of Marshal Bowman, as scheduled.
Sheriff Fielder had everything IN readiness
and invited citizens to the Jail when a
telegram was received from Governor
Pennings revoking the oeath warrant.
but ordering Cooper held in jail for fur
ther orders. J. w. Brady, attonery for
Cooper, had been at Tallahassee several
days pleading with the state board OF
pardons for a reprieve, but gave up in de-
spair and had started home today when
he received a telegram from the governor
announcing that he had granted the
respite.
Cooper had given up hope, had kissed
his four children goodbye and just before
preparing to leave his cell made the
solemn statement that he was innocent
of the crime charged.
Punta Gorda, Fla, August 5.-There was
great anger here today when 1t became
known that Governor Jennings had re-
voked the death sentence of Isiah Cooper
convicted of the murder of City Marshal
Bowman of this town. A large crowd
soon gathered and an effigy bearing the
name of Governor Jennings and Cooper
was hanged and shot full of holes with
revolvers by an angry crowd. The gen.
eral belief here is that Cooper is guilty.

VIII Not Be Repeated.

st. Petersburg. August 6.sd:30 a. m.)--
The Associated Press Is able TO announce
that there will be no reptition of the
Knight Commander and Thea incidents.
Russia has issued instructions to naval
commanders not to sink neutral mer-
chantmen with contraband on board in
the future. except In cases of direct nee
essity, but in cases of emergency to send
prizes into neutral ports.
Direct necessity may be regarded as
reservation of right which Russia does
not formally reinquish. but which. it is
safe TO say, will not again be exercised
during the present war.
Russia's concessions in this matter may
be looked upon as proof of her sincere
desire to avoid International complications
or the unnecessary irritation Of neutrals
Much Easier of Adjustment.
The authorities here feel that this course
will be satisfactory to Great Britain and
the other powers. With such assurances
1t Will make the Knight Commander and
Thea cases much easier of adjustment.
As the witnesses and papers are all at
Vladivostock, these cqses probably will
go through the r'7r nqo fstTe.
Much interest Is manifest IN govern
ment circles here regarding the dispatches
from the United States, which report that
the Washington government is sounding
the powers as to their position concern
ing neutral commerce. This action of the
United States government 10 interpreted
as an indisposition to act hastily and as
indicating no desire to participate an un-
necessary issue with Russia. The attitude
of the United States government is very
gratifying to the Russian authorities.

CHILDREN PERISH
WHILE BATHING
Seven Little Girls and One
Man Are Drowned
LITTLE ONES BEGGED TO GO.
Walked Out on Sand Bar In Mississippi
River at Alton and Suddenly
Stepped Off Into Deep
LITTLE ONES BEGGED TO GO.

Alton, Ill, August 5.-Whiie bathing
in the Mississippi river tonight Michael
Riley, daughter and six of the latter's 3
little girl friends. were drowned. One
child who was in the party was rescued.
The dead:
Michael Riley, 32 years.
Elizabeth Riley Il years.
Alec Snyder, IA years.
Lucy Pates, years.
Lizzie Pates, IA years.
Bessie Brum, II years.
Myrie Brum 10 years.
Ruth Marshall, II years.
Riley lived near the riven in the south
ern part of the city and was accustomed
to battle on the beach in front of his
home after his return from work.
Begged to Go With Him.
Tonight his little daughter begged to go
with him, and Riley took here and several
of her little friends to the beach with him.
When they entered the water Riley bade
the children join hands and they all waded
into the water and walked along a sand
bar which stretches out into the stream at
that point.
They had gone some distance from the
shore. when suddenly the whole party
disappeared beneath the water. having
In tho darkness stepped from the sand
bar into the deep channel
Riley who is said to have been a good
swimmer is thought TO have been made
helpless by the girls elinging to him and
hamperlng his efforts to save them.
Only One Saved.
The only one In the party to regain
the sandbar was Mary Timiny. years
of age. The child is unable to tell how she
saved herself beyond the statement that
she snatched her hand loose from the
silisp of the ''little girls next to me.
and soon found that l could stand up,
and that the water only came to my
knees
The beach where the accident occurred
Is practically deserted after nightfall,
and the screams of the little Timiny girl
failed to attract any one to the scene.
After Elizabeth Riley and her playmates
had disappeared beneath the water the
child ran from the beach and reached
her home screaming. 1t was some time
afterwards before her parents could
gather an account of what had occurred
Immediately Mr.. Timiny organized a
rescue party Boats were hastily secured.
and in a short time four of the bodies
had been recovered.
Caused BY Passing Steamer.
According to the account of the acc-
dent given by the little Timiny girl the
drowning was caused by the excitement
incident to the passage of a large river
steamer.
Before entering the water Riley had In
CTR ba Ia ofp n INT al in "A ff0bt
grasp on each others hands, he taking a
place in the center.
The wash from the steamer created con-
siderable confusion among the girls, Mary
explains, and In the darkness they lost
their bearings and before they were aware
of their danger, two or three of them had
stepped off the sand bar into the channel,
dragging the others with them. Mary was
at the end of the line and when her COM
panions dragged her from the sandbar she
was cast to shoal water and to that fact
she owes her escape.

RHODE ISLAND FOR
PARKER AND DAVIS
Chairman Quinn Paints Glow
ing Prospect for State
INDIANA is ALL RIGHT
Former Senator Towne Returns From
Hoosier State and Says All Fac
tlons of Democracy
Are United.
INDIANA is ALL RIGHT

Washington August b.. (Special.)-
Among the callers at democratic head
quarters today was p. H. Quinn, chair
man of the democratic state central COM
mittee of Rhode Island and former SEN
ator Towne, who is stated to be one of
the Tammany congressional nominations.
Both democrats paint glowing pros
pect for democracy. quinn says there Is
every reason to believe that his state
will be carried by Parker and Davis while
Towne fresh from the Taggart reception
in Indianapolis, where he was one of the
principal speakers says the electoral vote
of the Hoosier state Will be found in
the democratic column.
Consider said Chairman Quinn. that
Governor Garvin was elected two years
in succession after hard fought campaigns
and with the changing conditions which
favor us over the republicans, you can
see the basis of our expectation that
we will carry the state for Parker and
Davis
THE total vote In Rhode Island has in
creased this year. In 1902 the total vote
of the state was something over 1900.
This year it is $1,000 The increased vote
is undoubtedly in favor of the democratic
party as the republicans have been hos
tile to a full registration of the voters of
the state

Is Property Qualification.

TN Rhode Island there Is still Il prop
erty qualification for voters Of common
council ard aldermen in the cities, and
the voters at large resent the restriction
Of the right of suffrage. But In the case
of the national election there Is no re-
striction and every one can register and
vote
II should say there Is not the least
doubt about the election Of Representa-
tive Granger to succeed himself in the
Second district, where Mr.. owen ran
for congress two years ago We have a
good fighting chance in my opinion In
that district there are more idle cotton mill
operatives to have an effect on the result.
If Mr.. owens health improves sufficiently
I think he viii be nominated lie certain
~ will be If he wants the nomination. IL
he does not wish to run again, then
perhaps Governor Garyin may be the
nominee as. he would make a very strong
candidate before the people Of that dis
trict as he did before the state in the
two campaigns in which he was elected
governor
THE last time Governor Garvin ran he
was elected by IA majority of 1900 and be-
fore that his majority was 5000. 1t Is to be
seen how far those figures will be MAIN
tanned In the national election
Taking conditions altogether In Rhode
Island | should say we have every chance
Of, carrying the state for Parker and
Davis next November The conditions
there certainly have elements of demo-
cratic success that are very strong, one
of the most important of which is the
fact that we will get out a large vote

have been in the state. have talked with
democrats who were all shades of demo-
Gratis in 1896 and 1900. but who are today
of one mind now and the result of my OBJ
servatlon leads me to the conclusion that
1t is quite within the range of political
probability that we will carry the state.
'At the public testimonial In honor OF
Mr.. Taggart after his appointment as ma
tional chairman some OF the most en-
thusiastic participants were men whom |
know were active and influential among
the gold democrats four and eight years
ago. They are with the party now and
believe in the probability Of success.
VIII Help the Ticket.
IT think that almost without exception
the so-called Bryan men will turn In and
help the ticket to their utmost and vote
for 1t ON election day.
II told them that in my judgement that
when the democratic national convention
voted to send that reply to Judge Parker
it voted the gold plank into the platform
just as Enthusiastically as If stated in
words But l told them II made no differ
ence in this case because the money
question Is not at issue in this cam

II shall work for the ticket and talk
for It, and think Mr.. Bryan will be very
active in the campaign In behalf of the
ticket our chances in Indiana and New
York are excellent, and when we carry
those two states 1t Is mighty likely that

F. N. BOYD, Supt.

The Board Of Public works, in sub
mitting the annual report of Supt. r.
VI. Boyd. would call attention to the
fact th.t the pump to the artesian we'll
had broken down twice during the last
six months, and had to be taken out for
repairs, demonstrating the existing ne
cessity for new pump. The new air
compressor pump has been purchased
and installed, and the increase in the
charge of light and water enabled the
Board 10 lay aside sufficient money for
the payment in cash of the pump.
The new pump is wo' king salts
factorily, and with an increase ir pump
ing capacity over the former pump
develops the gratifying f'ct, that the
supply of water is greater than the old
estimate of 100000 gallons per day.
And for the fire and health, protection
of the city the Board will proceed to
the erection of new reservoir as soon
as it can be arranged for. In regard to
the electric lights, the Board would say
that the present arc light dynamo is
run to its full capacity. The present
system, an up-to-date one seven years
ago, is now so much behind the times
that it is difficult to get the street
lights, efficiency of said lights are often
seriously interfered with. And the
Board would be glad if parties living in
proximity would report any interference
with these lights.
Our incandescent light system is
loaded to it's full capacity, and with no
funds on hand to improve the light sys-
tenn, the Board can only report that
the present system will be operated to
the best advantage possible. For with
the constant demand for extension of
the water and light system by private
individuals it will TAX the re:ources Of
the system to build a reservoir a nd put
in such extensions as may be nee essary
during the present year.
All of which is respectfully submit tied
by your Board of Public Works.

She followed her married sister

been lost to the sight of her child

which separated them.
The years glided by and the
little girl grew into the glorious
period of young womanhood, full
filing the promise of her early days

the vill.ge where first she saw the
trees and the flowers and heard the
