KAREN THE PLACE
Where the Japanese Will Have to qo
 to Fight.

New Chwang, May 15.-A band of brigands was attacked about a mile and a half southeast of this city last night by a number of native regulars, the light being witnessed by the cor respondent of the Associated Press. Three of the brigands were killed and two mortally wounded by the natives, who were not assisted by the Russian troops. The Russians are offering splendid pay for natives as railroad guards which would enable them to place more fighting men in the field but the Chinese are not accepting the offer.
 A Chinese engineer reports that thirty miles of the railroad was crip- pied within the past twenty four hours between Hsing To and Wafan Tien. The total number of Japanese troops landed at Pitzwo amounts to 3O,OO0.
 A Russian officer who will not allow his name to be mentioned informed the Associated Press that the Russian plan IS to retreat to HaTbin and remain there until the home troops arrive. and then make q quick and decisive cam paign southward. The late summer rains will commence soon and then the campaigning will be all but impossible.

Is NARROWED 10 THREE
Will Be No Dark Horse in the Illinois
 Republican Convention.

Springfield, III. May 15.-It looks to- night as if there would be at least another day of fruitless balIoting be- fore the gubernatorial deadlock of the republican state convention will be broken. It is quite possible that d break will come early tomorrow after noon, but the developments of today do not justify any such prediction.
 A comparatively small number of delegates are here, most of them hay ing gone home to spend Sunday, but the candidates and their trusted ad- visers remained on the ground and numerous conferences have been held during the day. It is known definitely that desperate efforts are being made to take from the Yates column enough delegates to nominate Lowden on an early ballot tomorrow. From the mo- ment the Yates counties begin going to Lowden the remaining Yates men may be expected to go to Dineen, or the Dineen men will go to Yates. There is now no probability that dark horse" will be chosen. Indeed. the choice is generally regarded as being between Yates, Lowden and Dineen.
 Events up to date have demonstrated that the delegates to the convention. to a greater extent than has ever been the case before, are loyal to the can didates in whose interest they were selected and are not easily led away or shifted about by the generally recognized party leaders.
 The convention will re-assemble at p. m. tomorrow afternoon.

 There was a deafening roar from the explosion, which echoed far ashore. Im- mediately flames enveloped the cruiser which was evidently badly crippled. The crew of the cruiser was seen to be fighting the fire, which they at last succeeded in extinguishing. sister ship took the damaged vessel in tow and disappeared to the southeast. The launch escaped a hot fire directed against her by the Japanese ships, but being unable to return to Port Arthur or get into Dalny, she beached not far from Dalny.
 Only few of the higher officers were aware of the plan, the success of which depended upon secrecy. The achieve ment raised the spirits of the Russians afioat and ashore, and the young naval officer, who was the hero of the ex- ploit, was feted and rewarded with the cross of St. George.

MURDER OF A DEFECTIVE
An Early Sunday Morning Tragedy at
 Denver.

Denver, May 15.-After a day of diIi- gent investigation by local detectives but little information is being gained concerning the assassination of Lyte Gregory, the Reno agency detective. who was shot down at an early hour this morning, while returning home af- ter an evening spent in cards in d a. loon. The police now believe that two men participated in the shooting of Gregory. It develops that only four shots were fired, but the riddled con5i- tion of Gregory's body leads to the con viction that a shot gun loaded with heavy shot was used. It is also evident that a revolver bullet penetrated the brain and was the immediate cause of death.
 It was learned that two strangers haunted the vicinity of the shooting all evening one of whom carried what ap- parently was a gun or rife. Gregory served the Mine Owners associations. both in Idaho Springs and Crip~le Creek since the strike and, had been engaged against the strikers in the coal fields and other places. In addition tD this, Gregory had been connected with the secret service departments of Gif- ferent western railroads.

Russia Sees It Looming
 More COnSpiCuOusIy
THE JAP-CHINK SCHEME
For an Alliance Against Russia and at the Same Time Not Violating . EENeutrality Russians Score Their First Naval Success.

St. Petersburg, May 15.-Disquieting news regarding the attitude of the Chinese was contained in dispatches from officers at the front, issued by the general staff last night. In ad- dition to giving further details of the cutting off of Port Arthur and con firming the report of the Japanese ad- vance upon Liao Yang. these dispatches state specifically that the Chinese have commenced hostilities against the Rus Sians.
 Major General karevitch reports that the Chinese attacked his outposts on the Feng Wang Cheng road leading to Saimatsi. General Pflug telegraphs that according to the reports of patrols and missionaries at Tapadeziatsi 160 miles northwest of Mukden and just outside the Russian sphere of influence the Chinese are preparing to rise against Russians and Christians gener- ally. As showing the extent of the hos tile attitude of the Chinese. attention is particularly called to the fact that the distance in an airline from that point where the Russian outposts were attacked and Tapadziatsi is 200 miles.
 The authorities say that this matter t civilized world as it is feared the rising will spread to other parts of the em- pire. The hostile attitude of the Chin csc is attributed to the action of the Japanese in spreading reports of their successes and magnifying their victor ies at Port Arthur and on the Yalu.
 So far as the railway is concerned while it is admitted here that Chin csc outbreak will be a new source of danger preparations have been per- fected by General Kuropatkin to insure protection of this artery, which is vital to the supply of his army. It is a mat ter of satisfaction to the authorities that the Koreans are proving more friendly than the Chinese. as is shown by reports of. the destruction by them of the telegraph wires of the Japanese in northern Korea.

Four Russians Torpedo Japanese
 Cruiser.

Liao Yang, Saturday. May 14. Oe- 'ayed in transmission.) 1.-The Russian fleet scored the first distinct naval sue : cess of the war on May 10, by torpedo ing and crippling. though not sinking an armored Japanese cruiser in Talien- wan bay.
 The Russian attack was carefully planned on May 10, while the Japan ese squadron was concentrated outside Of Dalny, devoting it's whole attention to Talienwan bay and was carried out the same night. The attacking force was not a regular torpedo boat. but only small naptha launch in command or a young naval officer, who had with him three tackles. The launch was mounted with a small machine gun and carried three torpedoes.
 When darkness fell the launch crept out of Port Arthur, hugging the shore with no lights aboard and no glowing engines to betray her presence. It was late when she gained the outer line of the squadron. Slipping through the torpedo boat pickets and selecting the nearest warship, a big armored cruiser. she stole toward her and succeeding in

NO HEADLONG RUSH

 Yanc.

Liao Yang, May fl. Saturday. The Japanese army in southern lManchuria is marching slowly, evidently being de- sirous of remaining in close touch with it's reserves. The movement is aimed partly at Hi-Cheng but chiefly at Liao Yang. The Japanese force is only forty miles from Liao Yang.
 The Russian troops are in excellent health and spirits and anxious to do their duty. General Kuropatkin. while making an inspection of the hospitals sald to a wounded Japanese guards man; T visited your country and saw a very active people. Now I am con Vinced that you are excellent soldiers. and l am proud to meet such a foe"
 To this the guardsman replied: My nation wanted war and will fight to the last, but it is Japan's luck that Russia is vulnerable here.'

HFARST'S HOME STATE
He Will Either Win It or Lose It
 Today.

Santa Cruz, Calif., May 15.-The democratic state convention will meet here tomorrow to elect delegates to the national convention. All interest cen ters in the question of endorsing the candidacy of William R. Hearst for president and instructing the California delegation to vote for him at St. Louis As California is practically Hearst's home state, his lieutenants have been strenuous efforts to control the convention and they claim that success has rewarded their efforts, but their claims are disputed by the anti-Hearst factions.
 It is conceded that the San Francisco delegation of les members holds the balance of power. but what the men from the metropolis will do is not yet divulged. It is believed that the ques- tion of control will be immediately de- cided in the fight for chairman.

nuence the authorities here do not con ceal their apprehension as to the out look, especially in the north of the crn- pire, for they purpose to call the att tention of the celestial government to the impending uprising in Tapadeziatsi in order that repressive measures may be instantly taken.
 It is known and appreciated here that all the powers have made strong representations to Pekin in the in- terests of the preservation of the tran quility of the empire. but it is stated that Major General Plugs dispatch of May A shows the necessity for further impressing the celestial government with the advisability of acting with q firm hand.
 The authorities here do not forget that the Boxer revolt which spread from Shan Tung would have involved the entire empire had it not been for the firmness of the southern viceroys. Tho military authorities in St. Peters burg claim to have information of a sensational character to the effect that the Chinese have tactily agreed to CO., operate with the Japanese in opera tions against the Russians.
 The Japanese propose. it is stated, b drive Kuropatkin's forces into Mongolia which would place the Russians in tho position of invaders of neutral terri :. tory and enable reprisals by General Mas army which, is asserted, is kept in that region for that special object, thus cleVerly avoiding the slightest in fringement of the neutrality of China by Japan, and the Chinese troops by not crossing the Manchurian frontier, could not be charged with a violation of pledges in respect to non-interfer- ence, in military operations in Man churia.
 An opinion of an eminent strategist of the government expressed to the Associated Press today is that the Ja- panese intend to attack not only Liao Yang, but all along the line in the ef- fort to drive Kuropatllin into Mongolia. where the Chinese are waiting for him.

Hanna Group Will Control
 the Convention
ON MAY I7 AND 18TH
Senator Foraker Will Be Allowed to Go to Chicago but Friends of the Late Senator Will Be in Charge of the Party.

Columbus O., May 1.-The repubIl- can state convention meets here next Tuesday and Wednesday under new conditions. This is due to the loss of Senator Hanna, who had attended these gatherings for a score of years and dominated them for the past de- cade. This week. no one will be su- premely master. In place of Mir. Han ma there is a group of leaders
 The county conventions that select ed delegates to this state convention adopted resolutions of respect to MT. Hanna in advance of the state gath ering. This action in the counties was without precedent after the death of other Ohio senator's
 There are 951 delegates in the cen vention. A large majority are afiliat- ed with what is called the "OId Hanna Guard' so that there is no doubt about the convention being controlled by Governor Herrick, Geo. B. Cox and Senator Dick, who with Senator For aker will be delegates at large to the republican national convention at Chi cago.
 The "Old Hanna Guard" will name the tickets and delegates, the latter in cluding Senator FOraker for the sake of harmony and in defense to President Roosevelt. The principal contention is for continuance of the control of the party organization, and it is con ceded that Governor Herrick who will be both. temporary and permanent chairman of the convention will be re- elected as the Ohio member of the na- tional committee and Senator Dick will be reelected chairman of the state executive committee, so that the old Hanna organization is assured a con tinUance.
 The Organization men" will write the platform also.

 The water supply is excellent and there are opportunities for iso.ating cattle in the valleys to guard them against infection. Feed is abundant. and the Chigher hills and mountains are densely forested. The industry, con ducted by progressive men, would pre- sent attractive features.
 Cattle raising fer the home market should be profitable, judging from the prevailing high prices of meat in Ma nla, and the fact that practically all the meat consumed is shipped on the hoof from Singapore or as refrigerated meat from Australia and the United States.
