of the Japanese killed wear tattered
Chinese clothes, such as spies use.
Samsonoffs fight with the Japanese
June 3 in the valley Of Putsiantun took
place IN. an immense ainphitheater in
the hills. Samsonof. threw forward
skirmisiiers TO feel put the Japanese
positions. The Cossiicks and dragons
crept forward. examining the steep hill
sides, deep ravines and dry water
courses likely to protect japanese am
buscade's.
Finally the Japanese fire on the cres.
of the hills located them and the as
sailants swarmed up almost inacces-
sible cliffs. The japanese first kept in
the shelter of the rocks, but the Rus
sian fire searched them out and they
fitted shadowlike across the rocks as
the Cossacks continued to advance,
while the dragons cleared the valleys
leading from the a1nphitheater The
Japanese cavalry retreated unwilling
to risk a collision at close quarters.
The Russian line ,,ncircled one great
hill or which was the principal Japan
ese position, ana like a. living ribbon,
orept toward the summit. Col. Sereda
led the advance until he fell wounded
half way up the cliffs. The command
devolved upon Lie,it. Col. Chicsv:lle,
who continued the forward movement,
clearing the Japanese from the heights.
In the meantime a Russian battery
placed an accurste schrapnel fire
among the hilltops. Fastening the Jap
anese retreat. Two Japanese sharp
shooters on the summit, of hill SER
iously annoyed the Russians at criti-
cal period of the advance. An officer
of Terileski's company scaled the rocks
in the face of almost certain death ard
killed both the JaI nese, returning un
harmed.
Soon after the Ri ssians had occupied
the hilltop and an intrenched village
they received an order to retire. just
then the Japanese artillery reserve was
brought into action and showered the
retiring Russians with schrapnel, but
failed to get the exact range.
Besides Col. Serada, seventeen Rus
slams were wounds ed in the days en-
counter. The Japanese losses. owing TO
the accuracy of the Russian artillery
fire. seemed heavy.

CURE FOR DIVORCE EVIL.
Archbishop Messmer Delivers an Ad.
dress at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee. June 8.-Archbishop
Messmer believes that the best remedy
for the divorce evil is legislation--eith-
er federal law regulating it or SINH
lar laws passed by the several states.
The first would entail constitutional
amendment, and for that reason the
archbishop says that possibly the adop-
ton OF uniform law by the states
would be the better way.
The archbishop in an interview said
that the action of the churches of the
country regarding divorce indicates Il
healthy sentiment. 1t shows that peo-
pie, regardless of creed, are recognizing
the dangers to family life, and moral
sentiment resulting from the breaking
of matrimonial ties. While the Roman
Catholic church, the archbishop said,
does not recognize the right Of the state
to legislate concerning marriage he be-
lieved that most of the bishops of the
country would be glad to see a uniform
law on divorce adopted.

conspicuous in passing Judgment on the
whole controversy. But there are like
|ly to be some warm times at the next
board meeting.
There is good deal of questioning as
to whether or not.the state of Iowa will
be able to get the stone necessary for
the completion of the state historical
building. When the present building
was erected contract was entered into
between the state and the quarry firm
under which the quarry was to furnish
the same stone for the rest of the build
ing at the same price as for the first
section plus the increased cost of labor.
If any. and this contract is i'll force now.
The stone was got at the LeGrand
quarries. 1t is very desirable, almost
necessary, that the same stone be pro-
cured for the remainder of the build
ing. But state officials have learned
Informally that there may be some
question as to whether or not the stone
can be got from LeGrand at this time.
The plans are now being perfected and
it is expected that work viii be CONF
tmenced during the summer If the stone
can be had.
Governor Cummins declares that the
address of President Storms at the
State College on the occasion of his
installation as president, and especially
that part relating to a statement OF the
purposes of a scientific school, was the
most eloquent and forceful discussion
Of this subject that he has ever heard.
The governor is loud in his praise of
President Storms. The school at Ames
is fairly booming. said the governor,
"and it viii have at least 1.S00 students
another year aside from the short
courses"
Des Moines people are good deal
aroused over the fact that a confessed
wife murderer has been allowed to en-
ter q plea of guilty to manslaughter,
which means that at best he will not
remain in the penitentiary over six
years He confesses that he choked
his wife to death and set fire to her to
conceal the crime Before his confess
sion there was much sympathy for him
because of feeling of doubt as to his
guilt. Since he has confessed the feel
ing has changed.

st. Petersburg, June S.-Reports of
eorties from and attacks on Port Ar
thur coming in from foreign sources,
Grouse the livliest interest here. The
government not having means of COM
n1unication with the fortress accepts
them with reserve. The authorities
generally believe the reported march
OF events in the front of Port Arthur
- a little too rapid.
The tension over the situation at the
theater of war is manifestiy increas-
ing. The general staff is becoming
more reticent and the public is con-
yinced that an important battle, which
may decide the fate of the campaign,
10 impending. Outpost engagements
between the main armies of Generals
Kuropatkin and Kurold have sudden
81 ceased. Such lull frequently oc-
ours after two armies have been for
some time in touch and just before they
are ready to strike.
Kuroki has not yet moved. according
to the latest advices, but is draw
Ing in his skirmishers as if preparing
to do SO.
Knropatkin has deliberately forced
his position at Lao Yang in anticipa-
ton of possible forward movement
on the part of Kuroki and the army
landed at Taku Shan. But Kuroki's
failure to assume the aggressive and
the approach of the rainy season,
which would stop operations, as Well
as pressure to impede oku's army,
may have been determining factors IN
dispatching force southwark, the
destiny of which is mystery.
The admiralty is convinced that
either the battle ship Yashima or
shikishima has been lost off Talien
Wan.
