Better Pay for Rural Carriers.

Washington, July l9.-The new sal
ary schedule for rural mail carriers

ule applies from July 1st. The last
Congress raised the maximum salary

found that the maximum route was
Itwenty-four miles long to carriers on
routes of this length, numbering about
$4,000, the maximum salary will be
paid. The salaries Of the carriers on
routes shorter than the maximum was
fixed by deducting SIS for each mile
less than twenty-four The net result
has been that slightly over two-thirds
OF the whole force of "a, 800 rural car
riers have received increases OF 800
year in their salaries. The remain
ing carriers have received increases OF
less than this amount.

Denver, July 19.-Yesterday, when
news came that all strike negotiations
were off, business for the local pack
ers took another brace and prepara-
tions are being made for the biggest
business in the history Of the Colo
RADIO meat industry.
The Western Packing Company has
hired fifty new men. with the possibili-
ty that more will be needed. The Colo
RADIO Packing and Provision Company
has put on between fifty and seventy
five men, and they, too, will hire more
as conditions may warrant. Purchases
of beef on the hoof by both houses
Lave considerably increased, and of
the $500 cattle expected this week
nearly all will be used by the local
packing houses. The local packers
have secured good part of the pat
ronage that formerly went to the
eastern packers, and out of this num-
Der of new customers a good many
will. it is believed, remain with the
western dealers.

The crush in the city and on trains

Russian Report of Battle.

st. Petersburg, July 19.-The Rus
siaI and japanese forces which We're
lined up expecting a clash grappled in
serious fight Sunday morning, ac-
cording to p report from General ku-
ropatkin received late tonight. The
report sid that the japanese misinter-
preted the movement and that instead
sof y being an attempt to take Molten
pass, its was reconnaissance on a
\ large scale.
General Count keller's account OF
the fighting does not especially state
the number of men engaged. though it
shows that the Russian main advance
consisted of eighteen battalions, with
considerable reserves. Three battalions
tof the latter were called up during the
course of the battle, while still others
were not utilized.
An important fact developed by the
reconnaissance was the exact location
of powerful japanese force secreted
in the region between Fen Shut and
Molten passes. Its strength is indicat-
ed by the fact that twenty-one battai-
ions were insufficient to permanently
force the Japanese positions. though
some of them were occupied tempo
rarily.
