A CHAU I AUQUA
ROMANCE CLOSED

n The announcement Of the en-
gagement Of e. III. Kent, form
erly prominent newspaper man
of this state, and Florence
Marion Pace, has been formerly
made.
Quite a pretty romance at
taches to the engagement, which
had its origin at the Devils Lake
.Chautauqua in 1901. At that
time Miss, Pace was singing
with the Metropolitan Quartet Of
st. Paul, and was filling an en-
,gagement at the Chautauqua as
Isembly. Mr.. Kent was president
Iof the Press Asso citation at that
time, and the annual meeting
was held at the Chautauqua
park. Here the young people
met for the first time, and The
engagement just announced is
the happy result Of that meeting.
The bride is possessed of beauty
and talent, and the popularity of
Mr.. Kent is too well known to
need repetition. The Inter
Ocean joins in heartiest con-
=gratulat atoms to the happy couple.

SOME THINK ARMIES
MAY SOON BE ENGAGED.

st. Petersburg, June 4.-The general
public at the Russian capital is inn
bued with the belief that important
military developments are impending
at Liao Yang, and that general en-
gagement between Gen. Kuroki's and
Gen. Kuropatkins armies is imminent.
Although the authorities are doing
nothing to discourage the idea, the
best informed circles at the War Office
do not anticipate decisive battle inn
mediately.
The War Offices information does not
Indicate that the Japanese have con-
centrated for an attack on Kuropatkin,
and it is said that they are not ready
to assume the offensive. Nevetherless
it is known that the differences of opin-
ion exist at the Russian headquarters
as to the advisability of taking the
aggressive, and it is believed that this
matter was the subject of the confer
ence between the commander-in-chi
and the viceroy at Mukden Tuesday
kuropatkins position is becoming
more formidable, both in the number
and character of troops at his disposal.
Large reinforcements of field artillery
have now arrived. Nevertheless, Kuro-
patlxin does not consider himself strong
enough to risk the possibility of a de-
feat, which might be irretrievable.

GREAT DAMAGE DONE
IN SOUTHERN KANSAS

Kansas City, Mo-, June 4.-Further
rains have fallen in Southern Kansas
within twelve hours, and the flood con-
ditions in the valley of the Neosho and
Cottonwood rivers continue to grow
worse. The streams are higher than
at any previous time in twenty years,
not excepting the rise a year ago, and
they are still rising.
The Kaw, which caused the real
damage from Kansas City west to
Manhattan in the flood of 1908. con-
tinues to come up slowly at Topeka,
Lawrence and Kansas City, but as yet
no alarm is felt over the result of the
Hood along this stream.
As far as known but two lives,
woman and a child, names unknown,
who were drowned at Florence, have
been reported. The greatest damage
wrought is in the great oil fields OF
southern Kansas.

RUSSIA GETS NEWS
OF A SHARP FIGHT.

St. Petersburg, June 4, 800 p. M
The war office has received news of
sharp fight twenty miles north of
Saimatsza, north of Feng- Wang
Cheng, June 1, in which eight Cos
sacks were killed and twenty-five
wounded. The Japanese losses are not
known.
Five companies of Gen. Rennen-
kampffs Cossacks discovered japanese
detachments at Fen-ChouLing pass,
half way between Saimatsza and Ajiud-
jan. The Cossacks dismounted and
attacked on foot, but owing to the diff
ficult nature of the ground and the
strong defensive position held by the
enemy and the latter's stubborn re-
sistanee, the attack was not pressed
and the Cossacks drew off.
No particular Importance is attach
ed at the war office to the appearance
of this detachment of the enemy, it
being believed that Gen. Kuroki is
keeping his flank we'll protected in or
der to rid himself of the spying eyes
of the Cossacks.
The war Office has received no fresh
news from Liao-Tung.
Since the receipt of Gen. StoesseTs
report the general staff is convinced
that the Japanese losses IN une HgntlnB
about KinChou were greater than Of
ficially admitted. 1t is known that
only the seriously wounded were in
cluded in that category. There are in
dications that both of the commanders
are pursuing this plan, as the wounds
made by the small calibre, high We
locity bullets used in modern warfare,
unless they reach vital spot, heal
quickly, and in a few weeks most of
the wounded men are again ready for
active service.

RELIGIOUS EXCITEMENT
REPORTED AT TANGIER
Chadwick Thinks Presence of War
ships WieIds a Good Effect.


Washington, June Admiral Chad
wick to-day cabled to the Navy De-
partment that the presence of the
American fleet at Tangier has had a
salutary influence, but that the COM
munity is in a state of great religious
excitement.
Admiral Chadwick's cablegram is un-
derstood to be in reply to certain criti-
cisms, mainly from British sources,
upon the wisdom of sending American
warships to Morocco at this juncture
The British view is that the release of
the kidnapped men, Perdicaris and
Varley, can be more safely obtained
by refraining from adding to the anti
foreign feeling of the Moors and that
government, therefore, has so far sent
to Moroccan waters nothing more for
midahle in a naval way than a small
dispatch boat, the Surprise, and is re-
lying entirely upon the efforts of the
British minister resident.
The religious excitement mentioned
as prevailing among the Moors is be-
lieved here to be incident primarily to
one of the annual Mohammedan pill
grimages occurring at this season.
Undoubtedly, however. the presence of
the seven American warships at Tan
gier with a promise of reinforcements
if necessary by the big battleship
squadron, is regarded as threatening
Moorish integrity and the Mohamme-
dan religion, and has contributed to
the excitement.

Autopsy Was Held.
An autopsy was performed on the
to1y of Young. AT the conclusion Of
tie autopsy the examining physician
said he was unable to say whether the
wound was self-inficted or not. The
bullet entered the body high up on the
lett side. 1t had a downward course,
passed through the left lung and lodged
in the fourth vertebrae.
Later in the day the coroner commit
tad Mrs. Patterson to the Tombs with
oue bail. There was no formal accusa-
ton made against her, but the coroner
decided it was better not to commit
her as a witness.
Young was an Englishman by birth.
lie was brought to this country In 1890
by the old Manhattan Club as a repre-
sentative amateur athlete OF England.
Young several years ago purchased
race horses, one of them being "Eonice'
which won the Burns handicap, one of
the big stake races in California. Mrs.
Young, then a bride. trained the horse
and nearly $4,000 was won by them on
the race. Young brought a string OF
horses East with him when he came
here about a month ago. The most
rotcd OF them are Cunard and Water
Cure.
Mrs. Patterson met Young in Califor-
MIA, and it is understood she came East
ABOUT the same time he did. Accord
ing to Young's friends, the trip to Eu-
rcpe had for its object the breaking off
of his acquaintance with Mrs. Pat
terson. Mrs. Young left the pier when
told OF her husbands death. and was
taken to a friends home. She was
completely Frustrated
The coat and shirt worn by Young
have been examined in the coroner's
office. There was no trace Of powder
marks. and no bullet hole in the coat
rocket in which the pistol was found.
