Newchwang, June 21.-A Russian
officer who was wounded in the battle
at Vafangow CTelissW told an Asso-
ciated Press correspondent thatethe
losses on both sides We're severe. He
places the Russian casualties, at the
.leasI.@at 1000. He says no soldiers in
the world could withstand the Japan
ese as they have been fighting lately.
Their artillery fire, he maintains, is
maryelously effective. The Russians
fought stubbornly- ly-desperately but
were unable to Withstand the enemy's
dashng persistence. Several hundred
wounded Russians have been sent
snorLh4oWing- TO a lack of hospitals and
surgeons. All the available transpor-
ztation has to he used for supplies at
the expense Of the sick and wounded.
The Japanese buried most of the Rus

BE CHEERFUL.

1t is not easy to be cheerful when
everything one undertakes seems to go
wrong, especially after one has done
his very best. When the business
enterprise that looked so promising
ends in disaster; when the position for
which one has worked and waited SO
long does not materialize; when your
plans for going to college; plans which
it has taken years of toll and sacrifice
to carry to the point of success, are
suddenly overturned by some unfore-
seen occurrence, these, or any OF the
Thousand and one appointment,
great and small. which come to the
most sheltered lives, to the greatest Of
fortunes favorites, are trails to ones
soul. But what of that? Are we to
sit down and weep and wall and
bemoan our hard luck because things
90 wrong? That is the easiest thing
to do, to be sure. The ignoble thing
usually seems easier TO do, than the
noble thing. But what of the results?
II you rise superior to your dis
appointment, whatever it may be,
you are adding hundred per cent to
your power to conquer future diff
cultieS.

Journalism in Russia.

Running a newspaper in Russia is
pre-emineDtly risky operation. The
czar's government spends more on the
press censorship than it does on
education, and quite recently the staff
of press censors has been increased by
eight.
Certainly the censor earns his salary
in Russia. Last year eighty-three
newspapers were suspended for Pc
RODS amounting in all to thirty-one
years and ten days, twenty-six papers
were forbidden to accept advertise
ments and 259 editors were officially
threatened with Siberia ii they did
not mend their ways.
The censorship even pursues the
unfortunate editor after he elects
him.
One eminent conductor Of a scien-
titc journal who was dismissed at the
instance of the censor Is practically
condemned to starve or emigrat. All
the papers and publishers In Russia
are forbidden to accept "copy" from

Matt Kolglnski while engaged in
drilling for the new sewer in front OF
the city hall yesterday, met with an
accident that might easily have
proven fatal. He was in an IL foot
trench when it caved in on him,
leaving just his head above the ground.
1t took some little time to dig him
out, and appeared as cool and calm
over it as though it was an every day
occurrence. We are informed that he
is entirely accustomed to this work
and has met with similar experiences
before. One leg was quite oadly
bruised. but he will probably be back
at work next Monday.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-06-21

Everything is now in readiness for the meeting
of the Republican National Convention in Chi
cago to-day. The national committee has been
in session there the past week and has passed on
the contests from the several States. Addicks, the
notorious millionaire boodler from Delaware who
has for several years sought to buy a seat in the
United States Senate, has secured a favorable re-
port on his delegation as opposed to that sent by
the anti-Addicks fatcion. The contest from Ala
bama has been decided against the Oily white"
delegation. The split of the Wisconsin Republi-
cans is also to be aired in the convention, there
being two Republican tickets now before the peo-
pie of that State-one headed by the anti-corpora-
ton Governor, La Toilette, who is seeking a third
term, and the other under the management of
Senator Spooner, an able man but believed to be
in: league with the trusts and generally out of
harmony with the progressive element of his

The War News.


The siege of Port Arthur continues, with pres
ent indications pointing to a long struggle. The
only event to relieve the monotony last week was
the effort of the Russians Wednesday to attack
General Oku of the b~esieging army. And after
the ball was over, this is how the Russian general
had to report the affair to his commander, and
through him to the Gar:
Yesterday I had intended to attack the enemy's
right flank, but just as our troops had been as
signed for the purpose and we're beginning sue
c~essfully to envelop the enemy's right flank, the
Japanese in their turn attacked my right flank
with superior forces, and I was compelled to re-
treat by three roads to the north. Our losses are
heavy, but they are not yet completely known.
During the engagement the third and fourth bat
teries of the first artillery brigade we're literally
cut to pieces by the Japanese shells. Of sixteen
guns, thirteen were rendered completely useless
and were abandoned"
