The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1904-05-25

St. Petersburg, (By Cablc.)-Thc
feature OF the days war news was
information credited by the govern
ment that General Stoessel had made
a successful sortie from Port Arthur,
resulting in the defeat OF the Japanese
with the loss OF over 1000 killed or
wounded. The Russian losses were
no killed or wounded.
According to the story, the move
ment was carried out by a combina-
ton with train bringing in war mt
nitions and supplies and General
Stoessels force, communications being
maintained by wireless telcgraphy.
The Japanese barred the route be-
tween the train and General Stoessels
force, whereupon the Russians attack
ed and routed the japanese. After
the engagement General Stoesscl's
force, together with the train, re-
turned to Port Arthur.
Accounts, however, are somewhat
conflicting, and there is some doubt
as to whether the version mentioning
the train is correct. But the opera
tion is described as having been bril-
liantly carried out by the Russians.
General Stoessel, it is said, made a
new distribution of his guns before
hand, in order TO cover the force tax
ing part i'll the sortic. The Russian
troops fought with bravery, breaking
the Japanese line and driving back
the enemy for a considerable dis
tancc.
The general staff has received a
message from General Stoessel giving
his account OF the fight north of
Kinchou Monday last, but no report Of
the soriie above described
The Russian regiments were attack
ed by two Japanese divisions with four
batteries OF artillery The Russians
lost 100 in killed or wounded, includ-
ing an officer killed and Brigadier
General Maiden slightly wounded. The
Japanese losses are not known, but it
is believed they were heavy. The
enemys advance on Kinchou was ar
rested. The general staff explains
that this attack on the Russian troops
was arranged to take place simultan-
cously with a landing OF Japanese
troops in Kerr Bay, which was unsuc-
ccssful, owing to the number OF Rus
sian mines there. The general staff
expects to hear OF another stubborn
fight at kinchou. The landing OF Il
Japanese force to flank Kinchou will
be exceedingly difficult, and the wa
tiers OF Tallenwan Bay are too shallow
10 permit 4 dcbarkation OF troops.
There is vagucness about General
Kuropatkin's reports concerning some
OF the operations in Manchuria and the
results OF recent Japanese movements
or the general staff does not give out
their full text.
Dispatches from Mukden state that
the main body OF the Japanese forces,
estimated at 10000 men, remains south
OF the Russian troops who are COW
ering Liaoyang. They apparently
have suspended their advance. This
inaction causes surprise and satistac-
tion, as every days postponcmcnt OF
a decisive engagement is considered
favorable for the Russians. who arc
daily increasing their forces, and are
enabled by the delay to strengthen
their positions. 1t is supposed that
the recent rains hampcrcd the move
ment OF the Japanese artillery and
compelled a temporary halt.

THE DEATH sF COL. ktEFER,

curing as it did at a time when Col.
K1efer was SO very prominently before
the public the event attracted wide

ity for making and holding friends.
death struck down in him a citizen
whose demise will be generally
mourned. His list of friends en-
braced men in every walk in life,
enemies he had none And this
latter was the more remarkable from
the fact that he was vigorous fighter
and had been through many political
campaigns. His engaging personality
made his opponents to honor in him
the virtues that go to make a man
popular. He was unchanged by the
honors that were heaped upon him.
and the memory Of his sustained kind
ness Of heart will long remain as
monument to worthy gentleman. a
good citizen and a public servant of
long and varied experience.
In his long public career Col. Kiefer
filled many offices of trust and emf
nence, being repeatedly honored by the
party to which he gave his adherence.
His popularity was by no means con-
fined to party lines, and even those
who quarreied with his politics ad-
mired and liked the man. In his death
the community sustains a distinct loss
and the ready sympathy expressed by
the official head OF the municipality
finds generous second In the hearts
of the whole people.

William Benckert, of st. Louis, chair

1t was expected that many delegates
from different parts Of the country
would be present, but in this there
was disappointment. as not over fifty
persons constituted the audience.
Leaving the chair temporarily, Chair
man Benckert made a brief address, in
which he called attention to the prin-
ciples of the party and then followed
with suggestions to be embodied in the
platform. AT once several members
arose and objected on the ground that
this being the Sabbath day no political
topics should be discussed, and all mat

be deferred until tomorrow. This be-

NOTED FORGER FIGHTS
POLICE WHEN CAUGHT
Man Wanted in Many Eastern Cities
Is Captured.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May John
I. Delaney, whom the police say Is
wanted in st. Louis, New York, Wash
ington and particularly by the authori-
ties at Baltimore, who charge him with
forgery, was arrested at the Hotel
Hanover early today after a sensational
struggle with two detectives. The ar
rest was made in the presence Of De-
laney's VIE, who was in bed.
Detectives located the Delaneys at
the Hanover today. Assuring them
selves that the couple were in bed, De-
teetives Thomas and Talley, Of this
city, broke into the room and were
engaged in a struggle with Delaney,
who had jumped out of bed on the
detectives entering. The porter turned
on a light and the prisoner was sub
dued, but not until after he attempted
to reach a revolver that was under
pillow and another under the bed.
While dressing ne said he wanted a
vest and stepped to a trunk, but the
detectives anticipated him and found
a third pistol. He made three more
moves, such as to get a collar or a
handkerchief and in each place the de-
tectives found q bowie knife. Having
been foiled at every turn Delaney gave
up.
Mrs. Delaney, dumbfounded at the
whole proceedings, almost went into
Mysteries from surprise and fear.
Mrs. Delaney's mother and sister
were telegraphed for, and they arrived
this evening and took the heartbroken
woman home. Delaney told the police
that his present plight was due to his
attempt to have his wife remain In
the same social position she was In
when he married her.
