continued their march toward Stu Yen
by the Takushan and Feng- Wang
Cheng roads. Their advance guard did
south and east of Siu-Yen. On the
morning of June Japanese infantry
brigade, two mountain batteries and
five squadrons of cavalry, marched
against Siu-Yen. About IL o'clock the
Japanese appeared before the town on
the south side. but were checked by
very successful fire from our bat
teries.
Japanese infantry then began ad-
vancing against the town from the
east by the Feng-Wang-Cheng road,
and came in contact with the Cossacks
holding the pass. After two hours
fighting the Cossacks were obliged to
retire, and our artillery opened fire
along the pass. not allowing the Jap
aneSe to establish themselves. AT this
moment Japanese mountain battery
arrived and took a position to the
south, but after firing few rounds
was silenced by our battery
SIN the course of the fight a flank
ing movement by several battalions Of
Japanese infantry was observed north
east of Siu-Yen, threatening our line
of retreat. Consequently our Cossacks
gradually withdrew five miles from
Siu-Yen, keeping up their fire from a
battery on a dense column of the en-
envy at range Of 600 yards. The
fire slackened about in the after
noon. Among our losses were Chere-
missineff, chief of Cossacks; Cornet
Komaroyski and Lieutenant Colonel
PossOkhoff. To all appearances the
Cossacks were engaged with troops Of
the Tenth division.

Why He Would Like 1t.
He believes they would be able to
exercise q good deal of influence on
the Democrats from other states who

the reward fund is now about 500,
there is no money to meet the ex

search for the child. The citizens of
Seelyville. nearly all of whom are min

men may continue the search, while
the others return to their work at
home. Hardly a moments work has
been done by the people of the town
since the child disappeared week ago
last Sunday.
Case of Kidnapping Sure.
Phillips says that the belief that
the child was killed by falling into a
well OF an abandoned coal mine is no
longer entertained. The whole town
is satisfied that the boy had been kid
