JAPS WIN BATTLE
RUSSIAN HOPE OF RELIEVING
PORT ARTHUR VANlSHES.
GLARS FORCES ARE DEFEATED
Japanese Capture Prisoners and Take
Fourteen Guns--Russians Charged
with Having Displayed Japanese
FLAG to Deceive Their Adversaries.

TOKIO-The Russian hope of re-
| lieving the pressure on Port Arthur
by threatening the rear of General
| Oku. the commander of the Japanese
| forces investing the Russian strong
hold. came to an end at Telissu,
point on the railroad fifty miles north
of Kin Chou and twenty-five miles
north Of Vafangow, when the Rus
SLAMS were outmaneuvered, enveloped
and sweepingly defeated. They left
over 100 dead on the field and the Jap
anese captured 800 prisoners and
fourteen quick.fring field guns. The
Russians retreated hastily to the
northward.
The Japanese charge that the Rus
slams violated the Japanese flag. Ger
tain officers aver that during the
fighting O body of Russian soldiers
appeared carrying a Japanese flag
and that the Japanese artillery, de-
ceived by this flag, ceased firing upon
that particular body of Russians. Off
cial dispatches from the Japanese
commanders made specific charges of
this flag violation.
Early estimates of the Japanese loss
say that 500 men were killed or
wounded. The Japanese attacking
force was divided into right and left
columns and began the advance on
Tuesday along 10th sides Of the rail
road. They encountered the Rus
slams east of Vafandien and drove
them back. At a late hour in the af-
ternoon the Russians held a line be-
tween Lung Wang Tiso and Tafang
Shen. The Japanese artillery opened
on this line and the Russians respond
ed.
The Smelling continued for two
hours and it was followed by the ad-
vance of the Japanese line to a posi-
tion extending from Lung CHA Tung
to Yuhotun. Darkness put an end to
the fighting. The Japanese dispatch
ed a column to the westward toward
Fuchau for the purpose of covering
the Russian right wing and to protect
their left and rear.
During the night 1t became appar-
ent that the Russians were being re-
inforced and it was decided to make
general attack in the morning and
force the Russians into defile back
Of Telissu. When morning came 1t
was discovered that the Russians held
line extending from Ia Fang Shen
to Cheng Tsu Shan with a force esti-
mated at over two divisions.
The Japanese commander makes
| no estimate of the Russian losses. but
says they probably were great. Among
the Russians captured by the Japanese
is the colonel of the Fourth regiment
of rifles.
The Japanese planned to envelop
the Russians near Telissu and they
succeeded admirably. While the main
Japanese force was moving north
along the railroad columns were
swung to the left and to the right
and finally converged at noon on the
main Russian position. The Russians
in this position were at a disadvan-
tage, but they held it with determine
ton until o'clock in the afternoon.
At this hour they were routed. The
Japanese cavalry continued to pursue
the enemy and probably inflicted con-
siderable punishment.

smoked out in New York alone it will
avail little beyond breaking the fall.

Indiana in Doubt.

Senator Fairbanks personal organ,
the indianapolis News, publishes a re-
markedly frank statement as To the
political situation in Indiana, based on
the canvas Of member of its staff.
The News admits the situation is pUz-
xlinS. From a republican standpoint
Indiana is in doubt. and this should be
encouragement enough for the demo
Gratis TO believe that they can carry
the state. The News says:
The republicans can justify their
declaration that Indiana will so repub-
lean. because it has been going repub-
lean for almost ten yeaTs-and upon
no other basis as shown by existing
conditions. They say that the people
are satisfied. But the polls in numer-
Gus places show an unusually large
number of voters who will not tell how
they intend TO vote-these are down on
the books as doubtful. and in Indiana
there is an immense number OF them.
There is another proposition the
republican leaders must get away from
the reported dissatisfaction among
the democrats because Of the uomina-
tion OF Parker. If the republicans eX-
peCt victory through democratic dis
senSions. they might as we'll close
headquarters and shut mp shop. for
these dissensions do not exist 10 the
ext IT alleged by the republicans.
Despite reports 20 the contrary. the
democrats are organizing. and for that
matter ,'-~v are better organized than
they were Al this time in the campaign
of 1900
About as much dissension exists in
the republican party as in the demo
cratic party. The difference is that it

Roosevelt Stands Pat.

It is evident that if elected in No
vember he [Rooseveltl will sustain
with unmeasured zeal the extreme
radicals of Dingleyism in opposing any
real reduction of the present high
tariff. SO far from bending to the ris-
ing storm of popular demand for tariff
reform and the elimination OF unnec-
essary and burdensome restraints of
trade, his argument is for Il perpetual
ton OF the system by which UnscrupU-
lOus trusts are fOstered.
So far from yielding to the clamOT
within his own party for at least a
moderate reduction Of tariff taxation.
he tells the recalcitrant Republicans
Of the west and the east, as he tells
the great Democratic refOrmers, 1t is
u matter of regret that the protective
tariff policy, which during the last
forty years has become part of the
very fiber of the country, is not now
accepted as definitely established"

Gladys Is Spurned by Louis
He Coldy Rejects Her ''Honey Sweetest
and Also Her Tikey- -Wikey."
BY j. G. CRAWFORD.

Miss Gladys Freeman's old golo
couture was surmounted by a heavily
plumed brown velvet picture hat as
she sat upon the witness stand in De-
partment No. of the Police Court
and declared that Louis PARA Oh
231 Oak street gave to her for perma-
nent keeping the two diamond ear
screws which he subsequently alleged
she had embezzled from him. Ihe
feathers of her headgear were a-f1ut-
ter while she vehemently denied hav-
ing willfully signed paper purporung
to be a contract pledging her to re-
store the jewels to Mr.. PARA at any
time he should demand them. And
her white silken shirt waist palpitated
the emotion that possessed her as she
told of the relationship that once
existed between the complainant and
herself. Her mother, whose severe
black costume and iron gray hair ac-
centuated by contrast the garishness
OF the defendants apparel, also pro-
nounced Mr.. PARA an unqualified pre-
VaricatOr.
Mr.. PARA not only acknowledged
the once tender attachment alleged by
the young woman, but incidentally
produced documentary evidence that
proved 1t. In missives written by him
she was playfully addressed as Van
derbilt and her saccharine appella-
tons for him ranged from Honey
Sweetest to "Tikey- -Wikey." 1t was
not because of her material wealth
that he called her Vanderbilt" for in
