MADE A GALLANT FIGHT.
From Criticism Russia Turns TO Praise
Of General ZassaIitch.


st. Petersburg, May 4-The gloom
which prevailed here yesterday was al
most completely dispelled this morning
when the people read the sorry OF the
glorious fight made by General Zassa-
litch's handful of rough regiments
against the flower of the nilsados le-
gions at the Yalu and Of the utter de-
feat of Vice Admiral Togo's new
attempt to seal the entrance to Port
Arthur
1t is now plain that not more than
5000 Russians We're actually enga ged
in fighting at the Yalu against the
Japanese army of a total strength of
between 10000 and 10000.
The losses on both sides, which are
expected to reach 1000 and possibly
1900 in the Russian force and twice
that number for the Japanese, make Il.
one of the bloodiest battles in history.
Kuropatkin's report also served to
restore General Zassalitch to public ia
yor. Those who were disposed to criti-
else him. even at the Headquarters of
the general staff. where it was consid-
cred he made a tactical blunder. now
say he redeemed himself by his gallan-
try in action and the damage he in
ficted upon the enemy.

murderous fire on the japanese who

three points, frontal at Kiu-Lien-Che

The Eleventh regiment made a heroic

They believe that public office is

potency are the true tests for all per-
sons seeking or holding the same that
the taxing powers of the government
should be limited to that of raising
revenue for its support and that unnec-
