Russians Fight With Bandits.

Liang Yao. Saturday, May 16.-Chi
nese bandits are becoming bolder ant
are causing much trouble to the Rus
sian outposts. A swarm OF the bandits
at noon of May 18th attacked the Goa
mines on the branch line east of Yang,
1ai station, ten miles south of Lilac
Yang. The mines, which supply the
railroad, were guarded by 200 ritemer
and 100 Cossacks.
In fierce fight the Russians repelled
the bandits and then charged them
the bandits fleeing to the hills and
reighboring villages. The troops sur
rounded the villages and demanded the
surrender of the bandits.
The surrender was at first refused,
but fearing that the Russians would
destroy their homes. the villagers re-
vealed the hiding places of the ihgi-
tives. The bandits fought with the des-
peration of entrapped rats, and fifty OF
them were speared and killed. The
Russians suffered no loss.
Among seventeen prisoners taken by
the troops were two Japanese officers
who had escaped from the Russians.
One Of the bandits taken prisoner con-
fessed that the bandits had been hired
by the Japanese, whom they were sup
plying with ammunition.

Brieands Near New Chwanu.

New Chwang, May ia band OF
brigands was attacked about mile
and half southeast of this city last
night by number of native irregulars
the fight being witnessed by the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press.
Three of the brigands were killed and
two mortally wounded by the natives
who were not assisted by the Russian
troops.
The Russians are Offering splendid
pay for natives as railroad guards
which would enable them to place
more fighting men in the field, but the
Chinese are not accepting the offer.
Chinese engineer reports thirty
miles of railroad crippled within the
past twenty-four hours between Hsing
70 and Wafan Tien.
The total number of Japanses troops
landed at Pitsewo amounts to 10000.
A Russian officer who will not allow
his name to be mentioned, informed
the Associated Press that the Russian
plan is to retreat to Harbin and remain
there until home troops arrive, and
then make quick and decisive cam
paign southwark. The late summer
rains commence soon, and then cam
paigning will be all but impossible.

Movement of American Ships.

Che Foo, May 16.-The United
States cruiser New Orleans, with Rear
Admiral Stirling on board. arrived yes
terday from Shanghai. Her orders
were simply to come to Che Foo. Rear
Admiral Stirling said that the reason
for his coming, and his future move.
ments. are unknown to him. In view
of the previous order that no ships
should come north of Shanghai, the
movement of the New Orleans is con
sidered significant here. The inter-
pretation of the arrival of the cruiser
is that the United States will insist
upon the neutrality of New Chwang
when the Russians evacuate that
place. The New Orleans is too large
to ascend the Lao river.
The cruiser New Orleans is at Che
Foo in accordance with a recent order
forwarded from Washington to Rear
Admiral Cooper, commander-in-chief of
the Asiatic squadron. Owing to the
danger threatening New Chwang from
hordes of bandits who were awaiting
the departure of the Russians to begin
depredations, it was deemed advisable
to protect American and other foreign
interests until the Japanese arrived
A cruiser and gunboat were accord
ingly ordered to Che Foo to hold them
selves in readiness for service at New

The launch escaped the hot fire d.

but, being unable to return to Port
Arthur Or to get into Dalny, she was
beached not far from Dalny
Only a few of the higher officers were
aware of the plan, the success of which
depended upon secrecy. The achieve
ment raised the spirits of the Russians
afioat and ashore, and the young naval
officer who was the hero of the exploit
was feted and rewarded with the cross
OF st. George.
The Russians on May 11th, appre-
hending that the presence of a Japa-
nese squadron meant an attempt to
capture Dalny, blew up the piers and
quietly evacuated the place.

Fear Chinese Hostility.

st. Petersburg, May 15.-Disquieting
news regarding the attitude of the
Chinese is contained in dispatches
from officers at the front. In addition
to giving further details of the cutting
off of Port Arthur and confirming the
report of the Japanese advance upon
Liao Yang, these dispatches state spe-
cifically that the Chinese have com
menced hostilities against the Rus
slams.
Major General Karevitch reports
that the Chinese attacked his outposts
on the Feng Wang Cheng road leading
to Saimatsi. General Plug telegraphs
that, according to reports OF patrols
and missionaries, the Chinese at Tap
adziast, 100 miles northwest of Muk-
uen, and just outside the Russian
sphere of influence, are preparing to
rise against the Russians and Chris
tians generally.
The authorities say that this matter
affects not only Russia, but the whole
civilized world, as it is feared the ris-
ing will spread to other parts Of the
empire.

French Doubt Russian Success.

Paris, May 15.-French confidence in
Russian prowess is much shaken as a
result Of the recent developments con-
cerning the weakness of General Kuro-
patkin's land forces. The early Jap
anese successes were accepted as
merely preliminary, it being believed
by the officials and public here gen
orally that Kuropatkin was concen-
trating a vast force, approximately
100000 men, which eventually would
annihilate the smaller Japanese army.
But the reports Of the last ten days
have shown a constant shrinkage of
kuropatkins army until now it is gen.
orally accepted in official circles that
he has not over 100000 men, includ-
ing those locked up in Port Arthur and
in other garrisons. The announce
ment that the Russian commander has
put off taking the offensive until July
in order to secure reinfOrcements add
to the belief that his strength has
heretofore been greatly overesti-
mated.

Berlin, May 15.-The newspapers of
all parties have begun vieing with one
another in praise Of Japanese military
genius and in prophecies of the con-
tinued defeat of the Russians. Several
morning journals openly declare that
the Russian cause is lost, one intimat-
ing that Russia will prefer to make an
attempt to recover her prestige in an
other sphere-evidently meaning Asia
rather than to continue the struggle
in Manchuria indefinitely.

the Pension. the Military Academy and the Cen

ANTI-INJUNCTIoN BILL DEAD.

Injunction BILL. which defines the meaning OF the
wsrd conspiracy and aims TO regulate the use
of restraining orders and intunctions. VIII De
adversely reported by the House judiciary Com
mittee next week The measure will have the
support OF not more than FIVE Of the seventeen
members of the committee. which is In sharp
contrast to its action in the LVIIth Congress
At that time the bill drawn by General Gros-
yenor was hastily considered. with practically
no discussion Of its merits, and was favorably
reported to the House. which passed II with
equal promptitude 1t failed. however. to pass
the Senate and its author reintroduced 1t IN the
present Congress.
When the bill was referred TO the Judiciary
Committee for the second time II was deter
mined that opportunity would be afforded for
the fullest discussion. Invitations were sent to
representatives OF capital and labor and they
were generally accepted. The result Of these
extended hearings has been to convince the
committee that they erred last year In ordering
a favorable report and I'm supporting the meas
ure on its passage through the House.
II has been demonstrated that the provisions
OF this bill would remove from under the opera
tion of the Sherman Antitrust law cOnspiracies
I'm restraint of trade growing out OF labor dis
putes 1t IS further believed that its enforce
ment would prevent criminal prosecutions and
the issue of injunctiOns for violation OF law.
Another objection which developed at the hear
ings was that its provisions would prevent
prosecution for conspiracy for offences against
the United States where mails were INSTRUCTED
If such cases arose out OF disputes between en-
ployers and employees.
This action on the part Of the committee will
effectually block the attempt TO nullfy Just
law because OF alleged reckless administration.
