RUSSIAN FORCES
AGAIN 0UTGENERALED
Largest Army of the Car Engaged
in Present Conflict is Demoralized
by Small Number of Japanese
Troops---Casualties Are Heavy.

General Kuroki's Headquarters in
Field, via Fusan, July 19.-More Rus
sian troops were engaged in yester.
days battle at Mo Tien pass than in
any previous engagement with the
japanese army. 1t is believed that
there was double the number of men
taking part in the fight on the Yalu
River Opposed to this army was only
one brigade and one battalion Of Jap
anese forces. Despite the fact that
the latter were greatly outnumbered,
the Russian loss amounted to 1000.
The Japanese casualties are said to
have aggregated three hundred. The
engagement conclusively demonstrat-
ed the wonderful and efficient work of
the Japanese infantry. The men are
incomparably better marksmen and
they outfought and outgeneraled the
Russians at every point.
Port Arthur is Strengthened.
Mukden, July ia Letter received
from Port Arthur says: Lieutenant
General Stoessell's certainty of vic
tory has impaired equal confidence to
all of the troops and inhabitants. Gen.
eral Fock is now engaged in resisting
the pressure of the Japanese at our ad-
vance positions and the siege will drag
on long time. General Kondratiff is
adding to the Notifications of Port Ar
thur, making them stronger daily. On
the hills previously considered impos-
sible to fortify batteries and entrench-
ments have now been constructed and
guns of both large and small caliber
have been mounted. Cooperation of
the generals has made Port Arthur
an inaccessible fortress

Sullen Member of Filipino Tribe is
Disarmed Only at MuzzIe of
Gun.

An issue of the Daily Post Dispatch,
published at st. Louis, of Tuesday last,
contained the following item, which as
one of the principal actors, Ralph Nc
Fie, is very well known and liked in
this city, will prove of interest to the
readers of the New Mexican generally:
arsenic, a fanatical lake-dwelling
Moro, ran amuck in the village OF the
lake dwellers on Arrowhead Lake this
afternoon with murderous kriss in his
hand. 1t was only because a United
States revolver was at hand to stop
him that he did not satisfy his cray
ing for white mems blood.
"a spear, dance was being given in
the theater in the Moro village, on the
shore of the lake. Ralph McFie, who
was directing the performance, no
ticed that Arsenic was sulking and or
dered him to dance Arsenic refused.
McFie spoke sharply to him and tried
to make him dance.
"Arsenio, who is vicious fellow,
flew into a violent rage. Shrieklng
Moro oaths, he ran out OF the theater
and to his hut, out over the waters
of the lake.
"There was an audience of $50 per
sons in the theater. They thought It
was a part of the play and applauded
McFie knew better. He ran in one dl
rection as fast as Arsenic ran in the
other. He procured revolver and re-
turned in time to meet Arsenic as he
was starting to cross bamboo bridge,
coming toward the theater.
Pointing the revolver at Arsenic,
McFie commanded him to drop the
kriss which he had obtained at his
hut
"He was told in Spanish that If he
did not his head would be promptly
blown off. He looked at the revolver
an instant and then sullenly threw
down the kriss.
"The weapon, knife two feet long,
keen as a razor on both waving edges,
was taken out of his reach by another
Moro. ....
''McFie called on the peacable Moros
for assistance and they fell upon AT
senio. overpowered him and bound
him.
"He is not popular with the rest Of
the men in the village and they wan'
to behead him, which is the usual way
of dealing with such offenders a
home"

Performs With His Nose

A man who picks up pins and needles between his nose and chin is the latest novelty among entertainers. His name is Nicholas Lieberman. Nature seems to have designed him specially for the pur- pose. He is long and thin. and his head is joined to his body by an unusually long neck. His pointed chin projects far for ward, and his nose is also abnormally long. When not professionally employed these features are about an inch apart.
 A pin selected by one of the spectators is placed on a bar in any positlin favored by the donor, the man screws his face into an agonized expression, and proceeds to pick up the pin. This he does by bracing himself against the bar and fore ing 1t to meet his nose. and then he ner- vously clutches the pin between them. He is a weird sight. He rolls his head from side ito side and writhes his thin body as if in actual pain. No contortion which he thinks may heighten the dra- matic effect is omitted. He is able to raise the pin only a few inches from the bar. for as soon as his chin is above the bar his features relax and the pin slips from their clutch. But 1t Is certainly a unique performance and one Is ready to believe he is unique in his speciality. Though he has issued a challenge to all corners, open to all sort of noses and all kinds of chins, thus far there have been no takers.

 The New Bedford Standard, an ordi- narily sensible newspaper. has this to say in connection with the proposition to nominate a Southern man for President, after some complimentary allusions to John Sharpe Williams:
 Of course. if the South comes into the contest it will have to face the Issue as to whether it accepts the constitutional amendments which followed the war in good faith. It may protest that such a question is not in Issue, bur on that point 1t will be powerlees. The issue will be there, and the whole country will have to meet 1t.
 That is, because the South has at length consulted her own safety and practically eliminated the dangerous colored vote that act of self-defence would become a national issue in case a Southern man should be nominated for President. It Is difficult to believe that such intolerance as this can or would be general in the North, or that 1t would have any per- ceptible effect on the votes of Democrats, but one can never tell We could af- ford to laugh at such intimations if we were not ashamed of them. as The Stan dard should also be.

HOWL FROM HoosIaRDoM.
A Little Hearst Money Fell Into
 Alien Hands.
Colorado Building.

Advertiser Bureau.
 Colorado Building.
 Washington. April Il. A worried howl is coming out from Hoosier6om. It is said here that little of the Hearst money in the campaign for delegates at Indianapolis fell into alien hands and the faithful Hearst peo- pie for whom it was intended are making loud outcries.
 For very vengeance 1t said Mir. Hearst intends to start at Indianapolis a Hearst newspaper in opposition to the Sentinel. the paper principally owned by Thomas Taggart, promoter of the Parker move ment The Hearst efforts has been cen- tered upon the State Capital as that was tho first battle for delegates and 1t was expected 1t would influence the rest of 'the State for the Congressman. The consensus of view in Washington at this writing Is that the Hearst movement has reached it's worst. MT. Hearst himself is not as smiling as usual when he ap- pears for a few minutes in the House, as Is his custom late in the afternoon. Strange looking people call him out for conferences and he soon takes himself away. He Is rarely seen with any mem- Der of Congress, who is well enough known to be identified by those familiar with the looks of average members. It is beginning to be remarked that it Is F a shame the way the fiattercrs and fawn- CTS are pulling the leg of the misguided young publisher. As an observer re- marked of it, "It is like taking candy from a baby.". R. H. Watkins.

SERVED FOR BROTHER
JIM HARRIS WORKED FOR TWO
 MEN.
Two Harrises Arrested-John Harris Escaped Brother Served Under Others Name-Both are
 Now Free.

Columbus. Ga, April I.-(Special. )-The return of Policeman Henry Voight from Birmingham without the reward offered for the capture of an escaped prisoner brought to light an unusual story today of how convict practiced curious de- ception for months.
 Several months ago John Harris and Jim Harris. young white men, brothers about 9 years of age nch, were placed In jail at Opelika, for vagrancy. They escaped jail in November and were re- captured shortly thereafter. They were tried for jail breaking and sentenced to five months each. They were turned over to the sioss-shefield Steel Company. of Birmingham. to work in their mines at Flat Top Mountain, and a guard, F. O. Mundy. started to the mine with them. While en route the two men went into a closet on the train and there Jim Harris broke his handcuff, jumped through the window of the moving train and escaped unintured.
 The officer discovered his escape shortly thereafter. He did not know the two men by name, and the remaining brother told him that brother John had jumped of the train, he did not doubt it.. John Harris was carried to the mines and was registered as Jim Harris, while descrip- ton of John Harris was sent out to off, cers. In the meantime Jim Harris came back to Columbus his old home, rented a house for hts mother and has been Hv- ing here quietly since last December. Meanwhile John Harris was serving out his term on Flat Top Mountain while officers all over two States were looking for him. He served over three months and then paid out He reached Colum- bus Thursday night and was arrested by the police "A hours later.
 Jim Harris happened to be with his brother and was arrested at the same time, on general principles. It was thought Jim was wanted at Cedartown. Ga, but Cedartown wired that there was no charge against him there. The police then wired Birmingham officers who re- piled that Jim Harris was not wanted there, John Harris was the one wanted. Jim Harris was released immediately and departed for parts unknown. When John Harris reached Birmingham in the cus- tody of an officer he declared that he had already served out his sentence and the records easily proved this fact. He was released and his fare back to Columbus was paid, so that both brothers are now at liberty.

Mechanical violins.

An enterprising young genius named Pierce has devised a method Of develop ing violins by the use of steam. ..
 A good sized steam engine runs the gear which moves the bow across the strings. and in a few days give a new in- strument the same amount of lowing which it would get in the ordinary course of things if 1t were played on for two generations by virtuosos.
 Mir. Pierce has been a violinist for years and when he first hit upon this idea he used his mothers sewing machine, work ed by himself, as the motive power. This plan proved so successful that he has gone into the business and has a violin breakIng-in" establishment of quite con- siderable size, where half a dozen instru- meuts can be broken in at the same time. One can hear, in fancy, the cater wauling which comes from the rooms when several violins are being bowed rapidly at the same time But 1t is said that the instruments improve markedly under this treatment
 MT Pierce has put into practice a the ory which has long been believed. The violin is thought to get its tone not from the number of years which have elapsed since the instrument was made, for If 1t lies for long years untouched it's tone does not improve at all, but from the amount of exercise which 1t gets from being played upon.
 The vibrations give the wood the soft ness and pliability which are necessary to produce a brilliant tone. By this method of MT. Pierce the violin can be developed as completely in sixty days as if it had been played upon for four hours a day in the lifetime of two men. In other words he figures that in 4SO hours of lowing across the strings he gets as good results in the way of tone and fin ish as if the instrument had passed through 126,000 hours of lowing by hand

TUESDAY, APRIL 1s, 1904.
HE HAS PASSED THE LIMIT.

Never before in the history of American politics has there been a Presidential aspirant who would advertise himself in the advertising columns of a newspaper. It remained for William R. Hearst to put into two prominent Indianapolis papers a half page advertisement. in regular ad- vertising type and style, and in the ad- vertising columns of those papers.
 We have become accustomed to seeing Hearst advertised in the editorial and news columns of newspapers. A few of them endorse him editorially and ~give-or seIl-him whatever strength they can command. Most of the better class of papers. however, only use his antics as matter of news. just as they would publish anything else outre or amusing. A majority of those who thus help to keep him before the public feel nothing but contempt for his methods and amuse- ment at his pretensions.
 It Is a matter of perfect indifference to this man what opinions may be held or Expressed about him. He is im- pervious to ridicule and cares nothing for lue contempt or ms IeltoW men. w nat he craves Is notoriety and if that will not come in one way he welcomes it in another. Knowing as much of him and his methods as we were bound to know from reading his papers we have felt no surprise at the indecency and gall of his seif-exploitation, for 1t is part of the mans nature and he can't help 1t. He has become so accustomed to buying what he wants that 1t is not strange that, he should look on the Presidency as a,mere article of merchandise.
 Proof as we thought we were against surprise at any act of his we must admit that we didn't expect him to use the advertising columns of the newspapers in boosting himself for the great office of President. That was a culmination of indecency that we were Hnprepared for, but we shall refuse to be surprised at any other act of his. If he can employ some Sunny Jim or "Uneeda" cartoon ist to exploit him in all the papers of the country he might attract still more notice than he has yet achieved. No doubt he will pay literally to have him. self placarded in this manner over the country.
 Really and truly he has passed the limit of unblushing gall.

Coal for s71 Years.

St. James Gazette.
 It appears that there is coal in the United Kingdom to a depth of 1000 feet, sufficient, at about the present rate of output. to suffice for Sf1 years, but that this period will be considerably extended, seeing that there Is every probability that mining can be carried on to a depth of 1000 feet, though at this depth there will not be anything like the area of coal that there is at the former limit. It is also reasonable to expect that this period of supply may be still further extended by more economical use of fuel. due to the establishment of central electrical supply stations and the utilization of Mond and other gas producing processes and Of gas driven engines. as well as other means of obtaining a higher per centage of the best value of the fuel,
