RUSSIANS MAKE A DISASTROUS
ATTEMPT TO DUST JAPs.
HAND TO HAND SLAUGHTER
Enemies Meet in Conflict too Close to
Use Their Rifles-Frst Onslaught
of Russians RepeIled and Repeated
Attacks Frustrated by Arrival Of
Reinforcements.

At the front with General Kuroki's
forces, July A, via Seoul, Corea, July
14.-A brief and disastrous attempt of
the Russians to overwhelm the Japan
csc force which guarded the entrance
to Molten pass was a bloody affair
Before daylight two battalions of the
tenth and twenty-fourth east Siberian
regiments, together with 100 cavalry
men, approached the Japanese posi-
ton. They approached the pickets
and outposts and gained a position
from which to rush the trenches.
Several other Russian companies
were SO disposed that they could at
tempt a flank movement on both
the Japanese right and left.
When the fighting began the build
ing where the outposts were quar-
tered became a Strengthening house.
The Russians were at such close
quarters with the Japanese that it
was impossible for the latter to use
their rifles. The first fighting in the
was hand to hand The first Rus
sian onslaught was repealed, but the
Russians charged twice again within
half an hour. The remainder of the
Japanese regiment, however, rein
forced their comrades and began 20
drive the Russians back. AS soon
as it was sufficiently light to distin-
guish the enemy, two hours after the
beginning Of the fight, the Japanese
forced the Russians to retreat. A
trench and its approaches on the hill
side were thickly covered with dead
and wounded. Blood-spattered stones
and grass everywhere testified to the
holiness of the fighting.
Chinese stretcher-bearers collected
the wounded and carting them to an
improvised hospital they were laid
out in rows. Japanese details, with
trenching spades, were burying the
dead where they fell and Japanese
soldiers were bringing water to their
own and the Russian wounded.
The fire continued during the after
noon but gradually the sounds grew
distant, indicating that the Russians
were still retreating. The Russians
had more than 200 killed or wounded. !
The Japanese took a number Of pris-
Oners and captured 100 rifles.

Miss Catherine Maher, the nurse

BoUck during his last illness and
met Miss Johnson there almost every
day. She usually came just before
dinner or in the afternoon. This
was after Christmas. Before Christ
mas Mrs. Hilton came frequently to
the hotel and stayed with Col Bouck
for a time. Miss Johnson used to
come for a few minutes some days to
inquire as to the colonePs condition

brought plants or flowers with her at
various times. l heard Col. Bouck

Jap Advance Checked.
Liaoyang, July 16.-General Sam
sonof seriously checked the Japanese
advance in the direction of Yfnkow
July II. His cossacks ambushed the
japanese column and put 1000 out of
action. The Japanese attempted to
advance to Yinkow along the coast,
but they were hindered by the
marshy country, which also increased
their difficulties in carrying off their
dead and wounded during the re-
treat. The Russians lost six killed
and seven wounded.

Oshkosh, Wis, July 16.-Much in
terest conferred in the testimony of
Miss Mary Wadleigh in the case now
on trial in probate court, by which
Miss Wadleigh is endeavoring to
prove her right to the name of wife
and widow of the late Col. Gabriel
Bouck. As a matter of fact, how
ever. her testimony was less impor-
tant that that of her companion and
ward, Miss Ellen Johnson, for the
reason that under the statutes con-

NOT so SURE THE BIG
DISASTER OCCURRED

St. Petersburg, July 16.-2:25 a. m.
Lack of further official news regard
ing the engagement at Port Arthur
July 10 is puzzling. That the Japanese
were heavily defeated is not doubted
here. but in the absence of further in
formation the extent of the disaster is
beginning to be seriously questioned.
Definite news has been received
from viceroy Alexieff's headquarters
at Mukden that the week before the
engagement at Port Arthur, Major
General Fock administered a severe
defeat to the Japanese July 4 and July
S. driving them from the heights COM
manding Lunsantan pass with loss
of 2000 This is considered here as
proof that there has been heavy fight
ing before Port Arthur and as making
the silence of Toxic regarding it all
the more significant.

Chicago, July 16.-Negotiatlons for
peace in the stock yards strike are
practically at standstill and the
strike will continue until one side or
the other abates something of the de-
mands made up to the present time.
Both sides are anxious for a peace
able settlement, burt the stumbling
block to final adjustment is that
neither side is prepared to allow the
other to dictate the basis of arbitra-
ton. Yesterday afternoon the pack
ers considered President Donnelly's
reply to their proposition of Thurs
day night, but it proved unsatisfactory
and the union officials were notified
that it would be impossible to reach
an agreement along the lines suggest
ed by Mr.. Donnelly.
Arbitrate Whole Question.
The packers declared themselves
willing to arbitrate, but stipulated
that the arbitration should include
the entire scope of the strike and not
be subject to restrictions or limita-
tions of any kind.
With the reply of the packers was
sent a note to President Donnelly
notifying him that they would be
ready for his answer today. and that

is reached in the near future they
may decide to stop work in sympathy

men will meet tonight to decide upon
line of action.
Plants in Operation.
Work in the plants of this city con-
tinued yesterday on larger scale

they expected.
