Two Days Engagement.

Toxic, July 1.-The Vladivostock
squadron eluded Vice Admiral Kami.
mura's squadron eastward of the ISL
and of Tsu Friday night In the dark
ness. A drizzling rain and fog favored
the Russian vessels.
The w squadrons met early in the
evening, the Russians being north of
Xxi island and the Japanese south of
Tsu island. They were 10 miles apart.
The Russians bolted to the northeast
when they were discovered by Vice
Admiral Kamimura. The latter chased
them at full speed. The Japanese tor
pedo boats steamed ahead and entered
within the range of Russian guns The
Russian vessels vigorously shelled the
Japanese torpedo boats. This firing
confirms the ~cannonading on Xxi island
and gave the impression that an en-
gagement was in progress.
Vice Admiral Kamimura was only
eight or nine miles in the rear. when
the Russian vessels eXtinguished their
lights and disappeared in the darkness.
AT that time the Japanese torpedo
boats were pressing the Russians, who
torpedo boats failed to get close
enough to the Russian boats to dis
charge torpedoes.
Japanese Lose Heavily.
Liaoyang, July 4-The recent sue
cesses of the Russians at Dalin and in
Major General Mishtchenko's engage
ments with the Japanese have engen-
dered a much better feeling here. 1t
is reported that in the fighting of
June 26 and 27, the Japanese lost
5000 men, and that their losses in the
operations against Mishtchenko were
1900.
A striking feature of the last en-
gagement at Dalin, as well as in the
fight with General Mishtchenko's force,
was that the Japanese tried the bayo-
net charge, to which they had not been
previously partial. Their lines went
to the charge with loud cries of "Aiyar.
aiyar," but almost to a man were
moved down by the Russian rifle.
One of the Japanese prisoners cap
cured by General Mishtchenko states
that the provisions of the Japanese are
running out and that the troops are
badly fed. For two days prior to his
capture, the prisoner said, the Japan
csc had eaten nothing, and this state
ment is confirmed by Chinese. The
Japanese commissary is entirely sup
piled from Japan and consequently is
dependent upon sea communication,
and the effect of the loss of any boats
In the recent storm is beginning to be
severely felt.

Postomce Matters.

II is not generally knows, perhaps,
that a postoliice is rated by the num-
Der of stamps cancelled, and not by
the quantity Of stamps sold. Yet 1t
Is fact. The class, the standing and
salary of the postmaster is fixed by
the number of letters which pass out
ward through the mails, through his
office. The postmaster may sell ten
thousand dollars worth Of stamps, yet
II he cancels only five hundred dollars
worth of stamps, the remaining nine
thousand five hundred dollars worth
of business was done for nothing, ex-
cept, perhaps, what glory there might
be in il. With the postal authorities
at Washington the character of the
town il estimated by the number of
stamps cancelled, and postal accom-
modations given accordingly. The re-
suit is. the people are directly rcspon-
sible for our local postal facilities. II
we want them improved. see that ev-
cry letter you write Is mailed at the
