st. Petersburg. July 20, A 80 a. m.
The reported appearance of Japanese
cruisers and transports off Yin Kow.
coupled with foreign kilograms telli ag
of Leavy fighting in that region, bear
out the intimation conveyed in the
mutilated dispatches from Ia Tche
Khan to the Associated Press mention
ed in these dipatches yesterday morn
ing, that serious movements have been
undertaken by the japanese to gain
this coveted base on the northwest
coast. 1t should be pointed out that
there is an apparent conflict between
dispatches from Ia Tcbe Kiao and
that received from Lao Yang. under
date of July ~. saying that all was
quiet in Yin Kow on that date, but is
possible that owing to the pressure on
the telegraph at the front. there may
have been a confusion of dates.
Should it develop that the Japanese
are making determined attack on
Yin Kow it would throw fresh light
on the heavy land movements of the
japanese to the northwest within the
past few days. The meDacing atti-
tude of the japanese on Lieutenant
Count Kallar's frcnt may have posi-
bly, drawn north considerable por-
ton of the Russian force. Certainly
it has distracted public attention for
the time from Yin Kow but whether

those who have seen it will readily
agree. The matter that concerns us,
however, is that one of the greatest
points for passenger travel in the state
and in fact in the West, size consid-
cred, Grand Junction, has the measli-
est, battered. disreputable place call
ed station in all the West. 1t is
the greatest outrage possible that this
city was not given a depot commensu-
rate with it's Importance long ago.
1t is shame that the citizens do
not condemn it as a nuisance No
paper in the state Is as anxious for the
prosperity of the roads running into

does protest and deeply SO that the
Rio Grande road condemns the patrons

shack, unsanitary. unkemt. unclean it
might be said without any fear of
contradiction. The people here have
waited patiently for some move to be
made looking to the erecting of new

a station far and away better than
Grand Junction before the new one

Kuropatkin Forced to Abandon New
Chwang and Yin Kow.---The japanese
Advance Steadily and Fighting is Fierce

estimate of the situation may be pro-
we'd by the nature of the defense
that will be made at Yin Kow.
1t seems to ne fairly certain that
sharp fighting is now in progress and
that region though Lieutenant Gen
eral Sakharoff's report received last
night throws little light ON the act
ual situation. This report states that
the Japanese commenced to push for
ward from Kai Chow on the morning
of July 90 and forced the retirement
OF the Russians rear guard to Ia Tche
Kiao while simultaneous Japanese
advance began from the valley on the
Sachi, on the east, apparently also
directed against Yin Kow by way of
Ia Tche Kiao. Though General Kur
opatkin was reported to be inpsecting
the troops at Lao Yang on July 21 he
was easily in touch with his threaten
ed front and detailed news from him
bringing affairs up to later date is
awaited with greatest interest.
