Death of Mr.. Lantry.

The Albuquerque Citizen of April
IA contains a notice of the death of
Henry Lantry, a we'll known railroad
contractor, known from Chicago to
the Pacific ocean. The firm was form
erly known as B. Lantry d Sons,
and was composed of B. Lantry and
his two sons Henry and Charles. The
firm became wealthy in building the
Santa Fe road, west of Dodge City in
1873. and there has probably never
been year since that time when they
have not done more CT less work for
the company. They had the contract
for building the S. f. P. & P. rail
road also. After the death of the
father, which occurred few years
since the name of the firm was
changed to B. Lantry's Sons. A notable
contract taken by the latter firm was
/ for the Santa Fe company in filling IN
China Basin at San Francisco involv-
ing 81, 200, 900. The Citizen mentions
contract in New Mexico which in
volved $1,000, 600 also.
The cause of Mr.. Lantry's death is
attributed to heart trouble. Deceased
was of a sunny and genial disposition
making friends of every one with
whom he became acquainted.
The aerial tramway of the Bradshaw

a trial test made of it. 1t was found
to work very satisfactory. The rail-
road has not completed the work of

Chas. F. Goddard will leave tomor-
row night for the properties of the
Goddard Mining company which are
located about two miles from Wicken-
burg, between that place and the Orc
Grande property. Mr.. Goddard says
the property is showing up fine. The
work that was commenced some weeks
ago has developed some fine ore and
the shaft which is now down 40 feet is
all in solid ore, making solid breast
of ore fully six feet across. This runs
as high as $50 per ton and will average
good 1925 per ton clear across. Mr..
Goddard expects TO remain at the
mine and take personal charge of the
work. Up to this time only one shift
of men have been working but he will
increase it TO two shifts at once and
by the first of the month expects to
have three shifts working sinking the
shaft.

Assault Of Nanshan Hill.

Toxic, May 30.-The Japanese as
sault on Nanshan hill was one of the
fiercest and bloodiest affairs in mod
ern warfare. In the earlier rushes of
the engagement every man participat-
ing was shot down before he reached
the first line OF Russian trenches.
1t was found necessary to stop these
infantry charges and renew the artil-
lery fire from the rear before the final
and successful assault on the Russian
position could be made. The success
of this assault was brought about by
one detachment of Japanese troops,
more intrepid than their comrades,
who succeeded in piercing the Russian
line.
A splendid stroke OF fortune was the
discovery and destruction by the jap
anese of tie electric wires leading TO
the mines at the eastern soot Of Nan
shan hill. This prevented the Russians
from exploding these mines when the
Japanese infantry crossed the ground
where they had been placed. 1t is pos.
sible that the fortunes OF the day
hinged upon these mines. II the Rus
slams had been able to explode them
at the right time, the losses among
the Japanese troops would have been
tremendous, and 1t is possible also that
the Russians would have been able to
hold the hill.
Nanshan was sp1endidly defended.
Nearly fifty guns of various sizes were
mounted on the various emplacements.
and there were also two batteries of
quick-firing field pieces ran with them
around the behind loophole trenches
on the terraces of the hill. The in.
fantry manning the field pieces ran
with than around the hill. thus using
these guns for the protection of the
most important points.
The Japanese began the fight by
bringing all their field guns into ac-
tion and concentrating their fire on
the emplncements on the hill. BY IL
o'clock in the morning the principal
Russian batteries had been silenced.
The two Russian field batteries then
withdrew to Nanquanling hill. and
from there continued to fire on the
Japanese until nightfall.
After the Russian batteries had been
silenced, the Japanese artillery opened
OH the enemy's trenches. the Japanese
infantry advancing. meanwhile. to
within rife range. The Jajanese grad
ually worked up to within 400 metres
OF the Russian lines. where. they en-
countered wire and other entangle-
ments. They succeeded In discovering
an opening in these obstacles and get
ting finally to within 200 metres of the
Russian trenches, they rushed for the
line.

Japanese Losses Heavy.

Toxic, May 30.-Japan paid heavily
for her victories at Kin Chow. Nan
shan and Talienwan, losing 5000 men
in killed and wounded in the repeated
assaults against these strong posi-
tions, but she scored a sweeping and
valuable victory over the Russians,
capturing fifty guns, clearing the way
to Port Arthur and infiicting losses on
the Russians which in the end are ex-
pected to total 1000 men.
1t is doubtful II the Russians will
stand again north of Port Arthur.
They retired from the field beaten and
they failed to rally at Nan Quan Ling
where 1t was anticipated that a sec
ond stand would be made.
The desperate onslaughts of the
Japanese on the heights of Nanshan
were telling. for the Russians left 400
dead in the trenches there. A COM
plete search of this field is expected to
show greater number Of dead.
Nan Quan Ling was occupied yester-
day morning by force OF infantry,
artillery and engineers under the
command of General Nakamura. The
main Japanese force spent Friday
Nanshan. The soldiers are greatly IA
tigued as a result of the constant
fighting. but they entered with much
spirit upon the new operations.
A force of Russians held Sanshilipi
station. which is northwest of Dalny,
but the Japanese drove them out. The
Russians abandoned and burned the
station and retired in the direction of
Port Arthur.
The estimates of the Russians en-
gagged in the defense OF Kin Chow,
Nanshan hill and the south shore of
Talienwan bay vary, but 1t is evident
that the Russians drew for men from
the forces at Port Arthur and offered
all the resistance possible. It is un-
derstood that Lieutenant General Sto-
essel, commander of the military
forces at Port Arthur. was in personal
command OF the recent operations.
AS soon as the Japanese troops have
rested they will press on to the south.

Elre Al school Of Mlne..

Denver, May 30.--A Golden dispatch
yesterday says: About 4:30 O'Clock
this morning fire broke out In the
chemical store room in the basement
of what is called the main building of
the Colorado School of Mines, and be-
fore it was extinguished damage to
the amount OF about $500 had been
done, much OF which was due to water
and the destruction Of expensive chem
icals. The loss is fully covered by In
surance. The fire department, assist
ed by citizens, did excellent work, and
kept the fire within bounds until 1t
was finally extinguished. The origin
OF the fire is not definitely known, but
1t is supposed to have started from
spontaneous combustion. The damage
Is itemized as follows: Building.
$500; apparatus and fixtures. $4,000;
chemicals. $1,000. The building in
which the fire originated was construct
ed in 1880. and an addition was put
on 1t in 1882 at total cost OF $4,000.
Later another part. containing the Of
fees, library and gymnasium. was
added. The fire did not spread to any
of the new part, and but little water
reached any Of the rooms.

DEATH OF SENATOR QUAY.
Great Pennsylvania succumbs to a
Lingering illness.

Beaver, Pa, May 29.-Col. Matthew
Stanley Quay. senior senator from
Pennsylvania, died peacefully at 2:4S
o'clock yesterday efterRoon after an
illness which had been more or less
persistent for the last year, which
took a change for the worse ten days
ago. and which the doctors diagnosed
as chronic gastritis.
Senator Quay's illness was a recur-
renee of the trouble that beset him dur
ing the latter part of 1900 and the early
days of January. 1901, when he was un-
dergoing the strain of a desperate fight
for reelection to the Senate.
Matthew Stanley Quay was born at
Dillsburg. York county. Pennsylvania.
September 80. 1888, and graduated at
jefferson College in 1850. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1854 and two years
later was elected prothonatory OF
Beaver county. He served through the
the Civil War as lieutenant of the
Tenth Pennsylvania and colonel Of the
One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Penn
sylvania. and received a congressional
medal. He was then made military
agent of Pennsylvania at Washington.
but was recalled to become private Sec
retary to the governor. From 1872 to
1878 and again from 1879 to 1882, he
was secretary of the commonwealth.
He was recorder of Philadelphia in
1S7s-79. In 1885 he was elected state
treasurer. and at the same time was
chosen Pennsylvania member of the
Republican national committee, place
he helu without change until the day of
his death. He was chairman of the Re-
publican national committee in the sue
oessful Harrison compaign of 1888. In
1896 he was a member Of the Republic
can national executive committee.

eerma-- Praise the Japanese.

Berlin, May 31.-Germany's high
opinion OF the decisive Importance OF
Japan's fresh military successes Is con-
vincingly manifested by the fact that
Japan's strategy. organization and tao
tics are described as excelling those
OF Russia in the same manner as Won
Moltke's arrangement outmatched the
plans of Napoleon III. in the Franco
Prussian war.
An official Of the general staff, dis
cussing the battle of Kin Chow, said
to-day: THE Japanese always know,
Just as Won Moltke did, where to unite
a preponderance Of men and guns.
They also understand how to lead the
Russian intelligence department astray
in exactly the same fatal fashion as
the Germans did the French. Sacri-
fees of soldiers and ships count for
nothing with them as long as they &C.
complish their object"

Flowers on Mcklnley's Tomb.

Canton. Ohio. May 31.-Floral offer
ings from widely separated portions
of the country were received by Mrs.
Mckinley yesterday, to be placed on
the tomb of her husband. Among those
who sent memorials were President
and Mrs. Roosevelt, the President
sending a large wreath OF various
white flowers and Mrs. Roosevelt a
beautiful bouquet OF American Beauty
roses. Mrs. Mckinley drove to West
lawn cemetery and placed on the cas-
ket three large punches Of flowers,
one OF white carnations, the second of
pink carnations and smilax, and the
third of white Easter lilies. Many OF
the offerings were anonymous.

Must Retire Inside Port Arthur.

st. Petersburg. May 30.-There is no
attempt here to disguise the fact that
the successful forcing of the neck of
Kwan Tunk peninsula proper puts a
practical end to resistance to the enc
my until he reaches the actual fortifica-
tions around Port Arthur.
Although there are many strong po-
sitions in the more than twenty-five
miles before the perimeter of the fort
ress is reached, the authorities admit
that the Russians can offer little resist
ance and must now retire within the
fortress and undertake to defend them
selves against a siege.
Neither the admiralty nor the gen.
eral staff has any direct information.
Like the outside world, the admiralty
and general staff are dependent entire
ly upon the enemy for news. Native
reports which may be of some value
are, however, expected shortly.
While there is no disposition to ques-
tion the main facts sent out officially
from Toxic, some unofficial reports
from Japanese sources are being re-
ceived with caution. The impossibility
of holding the advance positions
around Kin Chow in the face of over
whelming odds has all along been ad-
Of the position, as well as its defenses,
the general stan cannot but believe
that the defense must have been he
roic. and that the positions were only
taken by display Of desperate courage
and at a frightful cost.
The earlier news was received In a
calm spirit by both the public and the
newspapers, but II the latest reports
that the Japanese captured fifty guns
is confirmed. 1t is sure that the effect
will be much deeper and Is certain to
be considered a severe blow. Un/
that report arrived the feeling was
that the Russians had resisted to the
limit of human endurance and had re-
tired in good order, but II this number
OF guns was taken, 1t will put differ
ent complexion upon things. though 1t
is conceivable here that IL the Japa-
nese operating fleet landed forces at
Sanshilipo and Talienwan and got in
the rear Of the Russian positions, the
abandonment of the guns might have
become necessary. This view. however,
will hardly diminish the extent Of the
disaster.
