Washington. May 2-The Japanese
legation here has received the follow.
Ing official cablegram from Toxic:
General Kuroki, commanding the
first army, reports from Chiutiencheng
that. on May 1, the Second and
Twelfth divisions and the imperial
guard, forming the First army corps,
advanced, notwithstanding stout re-
sistance on the part of the enemy, by
three roads, driving the enemy before
them, and at 8 p. m. occupied line
extending from Antung to Liushukon.
The imperial guards surrounded the
enemy on three sides and, after Sc
we're fight. captured twenty guns, with
horses and carriages, and more than
twenty officers and many men. The
general reserve corps advanced by
the Liaoyang road. The enemy was
composed Of the whole Third division
and the Twenty-second and Twenty
fourth regiments of the Sixth infantry
division of sharpshooters and General
Mishtchenko's cavalry brigade, with
about forty guns and eight machine
guns. The enemy fed toward Feng-
huangcheng. Our casualties will not
exceed at most 700. Twenty-eight
quickfiring guns and large quantities
of small arms and ammunition were
captured. Our heavy field guns were
very effective. A Russian officer who
was taken prisoner says that both the
commanders OF the army corps and
the division were wounded and that
the Russian casualties exceeded 800"

PURSUES THE ENEMY
JAPANESE ARMY INFLICTS FUR.
THEIR LOSS ON THE FLEE
ING RUSSIANS.

Toxic, May "A supplemental re-
port was received here during the day
from General Kuroki. It is dated Tues
day and says:
Yesterday the enemy offered q
stubborn resistance against our pur.
suit, adding about 300 to our casual.
ties. The enemy stood with resolution
until their artillery, consisting of two
batteries, lost the majority of it's men
and horses. They then broke the
breeches and closing apparatus of their
guns and hoisted the white flag.
According to captured Russian
officer Major General Kashtalinsky,
commander Of the Third East Siberian
rifle brigade, the colonels of the Elev-
enth and Twelfth rife regiments and
the commander of the rifle artillery
battalion were killed in the fighting at
Hamatan.
1T seems that the enemy was en-
tirely routed by our attack, because
since yesterday many have come in
and surrendered. Our prisoners in
clude 30 officers, 20 of whom are
wounded, and 300 men, 100 of whom
are wounded.
"A preliminary report from the chief
surgeon of the First Japanese army
shows that we had 79S men killed and
wounded. These casualties are divid-
ed as follows: The imperial guards,
1872; Second division, $50; Third divi-
sion. 316''

Washington, May 4.-"Even at the
risk of being accused of declining that

l answer most unequivocally that if
the nomination were rendered to me,
l would not accept it under any cir
cumstances whatever"
Thus strongly did Speaker Cannon
in an authorized interview with Post

termination with reference to the vice
presidency. AS he concluded the
speader added:
"1f there is any language which can
be more decisive write it in"
What are your reasons for such a

piled:

Republicans of the congressional dis
trict IN which l reside and have ac-

EIGHT PERSONS DEAD
TRAIN ON THE IRON MOUNTAIN
RAILROAD DERAILED NEAR
kIMMsWIck, MO.

Kimmswick, NO., April 30.-A mis-
understanding of orders by the en-
gineer of train on the St. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern railroad re-
suited in serious wreck at Wickes
Siding, about one and one-half miles
north Of here. Following is list of
the dead: James Bailey, engineer; !;
AL Gumpert, fireman; A. E. Taber, mas
ter mechanic; Express Messenger
Groat; Edward Busibard, De Soto,
Mo-; three unidentified passengers.
The wreck occurred while the trail,
was going at an excessive rate OF
speed. There had been trouble with a
freight car on one of the fast trains
and it was necessary to abandon it or
the main line near Wickes Siding.
Orders were issued for all northbound
and southbound trains to use the
switch at that point instead of the
main line. Five trains passed the sid
ing during the interval between the
breakdown of the freight car and the
arrival Of No. 1S.
1t is stated by Conductor Austin
that he read the order to the engineer
and handed copy to him. The Off
cials of the road cannot account for
the fact that the train approached the
siding at such high rate of speed.

Backed up by over a third of century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprfetors and makers of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in Offering to pay $500 In
legal money for any case of Leucorrhea,
Female Weakness, Pro1apsus, or Falling of
Womb, which they cannot cure. All they
ask is fair and reasonable trial of their
means of cure.
Very often married woman or young
girl does not know who to turn to for ad-
vice in circumstances where she dislikes to
talk with the family physician about deli
cate matters. Al such times write to DR..
r. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to
the 1nyalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
of Buffalo, N. Y, for free consultation and
credly confidential. It is foolish to consult
women friends or persons without medical
training.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription con.
tains no alcohol, is entirely vegetable and
was the first exclusively woman's tonic on
the market-it has sold more largely in
the past third of century than any other
medicine for women.
All other compounds intended for women
only are made with alcohol, or alcohol is a
large component-this alcohol iniures the
nerves. The little red corpuscles of the
blood are shrunken by alcohol. All such
compounds therefore, do harm.

Floods Are Subsidjnu,

The flood in the Mouse river valley
ls receding, and no further rise Is ex-
pected. The actual destruction Of
property by the flood has chiefly af-
fected the railroads, as considerable
track has been washed out. Several
bridges have been washed away and
much roadbed has been softened.
Trains cannot run regularly for some
time. The lower sections Of Minot
and all the towns in the valley are in
undated, and many people have been
driven from their homes. Hundreds Of
people have been stranded in Minot,
awaiting the moving Of trains, and
these have been cared for in churches,
school houses and other public places.
Many of them have run out of funds.
The flood will affect seeding opera
lions only through the delay Of trans
portation and the flooding of a few
larms near the rivers. The country Is
generally rolling and on the higher
bround seeding Is already in progress.

ITEMS OF A WEEK FROM VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE STATE.
Railroad Officials and Detectives Busy
In Trying to Break Up a Gang
Of Thieves Operating on
Overland Trains.

Railroad detectives and officials are
engaged in an effort to arrest some Of
the men who have been engaged for
several weeks in robbing passengers
travelling on the overland trains be-
tween the Twin cities and North Da-
kota points. Within two weeks sew
eral persons have been robbed on the
trains near Grand Forks, but so far
no arrests have been made. The men
are believed to make headquarters in
the Twin cities and apparently are
we'll organized. Julius Lou, who lives
in Iowa, and owns the townsite at
Penn, N. D., was robbed Of $160 while
the train stopped at the Grand Forks
station. A young man who came into
the coach at Fargo shared the seat
NTH Mr.. Lou to Grand Forks. The
train had hardly stopped when another
young man came up and requested
that they get up while he fixed the seat.
Mr.. Lou complied, thinking he was an
employe of the Great Northern, and
the two men robbed him as he stopped
down to get his grips and made their
escape.
A man by the name of Silver, who
for time was employed in an East
Grand Forks saloon, is under arrest
at Rutland on a charge Of robbing
Julius Lou.
