DALNY is EVACUATED
RUSSIANS TAKE ALL AMMUNI.
TON AND VALUABLES TO
PORT ARTHUR.

Chefoo, May 30.-Dalny has been
practically evacuated, according to the
statements Of Sikh and Russian refu-
gees arriving here Sunday by junk.
All %valuables. ammunition and most
of the troops have been taken to Port
Arthur. The only civilians remaining
are the electrical engineers in charge
of the mines laid in the harbor, and
also those set to destroy the docks and
piers. One large Russian warship,
probably the armored cruiser Bayan,
and three torpedo boats, reached
Talienwan bay on May "a, from Port
Arthur, and it was doubtless this YES
sci which attacked the Japanese left
wing during the battle at Kinchou on
May 26. The junks'j just arrived here,
or their way down, passed fourteen
Japanese wal vessels nine miles out
side of Dalny, SO that the Bayan will
likely be captured.
The United States gunboat Frolic,
now here, will go to Newchwang in
case that town is evacuated by the
Russians. r

CONFERENCE IS OVER
ONE. OF THE MOST NOTABLE
MEETINGS OF METHOClSTS
Finally ENDED.

Los Angeles, CAL, May 30.-It was
after II o'clock Saturday night tina,
the Methodist Episcopal church finish.
ed the roll call, which brought to a
close the most memorable gathering
in the history of the church. Sunda;
memorial services were held and a
jubilee service at the pavilion closed
the series of meetings. When the
final roll call was taken SATURDAY
night 900 of the $50 accredited dele
gates we're in their seats.
The conference just closed has &C
complished much for the interest of
the Methodist church and will go
down in church history as n of the
most important in the point OF legisla-
tive action. The action of the general
conference in retiring four bishops and
electing eleven others probably at
tracted the widest attention of any
other single happening, but there was
many other subjects that affected the
great membership OF the Methodist
church and which were watched with
deep interest.
Among these were: The decision
to stand by the present attitude of the
church on the subject of prohibited
amusements; the refusal to return to
the time limit of pastoral services; the
generating of certain theological
schools of the charge of heretical
teachings; the indications of the
Methodist publishing houses; the con-
solidation of the boards Of church
benevolences; providing e of sup
port for superannuated ministers; fix
ing the status of superannuated bish-
ops; creating a commission to revise
the ritual of the church; continuing
the commission appointed four years
ago to bring the various branches of
Methodism closer together in the use
of common prayer book, hymnal AMI
cathechism; a referendum Of the much
discussed question Of a colored bishop
and many other matters of smaller
Importance.

RUSSIAN BOATS SUNK
AT LEAST TWO OF THEM BLOWN
UP BY MINES OUTSIDE OF
PORT ARTHUR.

Toxic. May 30.-Certain Russian
correspondence which has been inter-
cepted by the japanese at the blockade
of Port Arthur gives the information
that some Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers have been sunk by mines out
side of Port Arthur as we'll as details
of the placing by the Russians of the
mines which effected the destruction
of the Japanese battleship Hatsuse on
May Is.
The Sixth Japanese squadron, which
was blockading Port Arthur, over
hauled and searched a junk and seized
a number of letters written by Rus
sian officers. One letter said that a
torpedo boat destroyer had successful
ly placed a series of mines during the
night which preceded the loss of the
Hatsuse and, continuing, tells of the
loss of some Russian torpedo boat de-
%stroyers.
How many is not mentioned, but it
is indicated that there were at least
two.

SOURCE OF SATISFACTION.
Russians Pleased over Defense Made
on Nanshan Hill.

on Nanshan Hill.
st. Petersburg, May 3O.-Intense in
terest is displayed in the Japanese re-
ports OF the Kinchou battle. The peo-
pie In the streets almost mob news
boys to secure extras containing the
dispatches. Crowds stood around the
official bulletin boards awaiting the
Russian versions, but none arrived.
The official world as well as the pub
lie is entirely dependent upon the
Japanese for news. Further details
are eagerly looked for, especially re-
garding losses. The prevailing con-
viction here is that the Japanese must
have carried Nanshan at tremendous
sacrifice. The accounts of the heroic
ally stubborn defense made by the
Russians, Notwithstanding their posi-.
tion-subjected to the five from the
front and from warships on the flank,
was a source of much atN.action.
Their own reports. the Russ..ns say,
could not have placed the fighting
qualities of their soldiers in a better
light than do those of Tie Japanese.
Both the admiralty and the war Of
flee are without news and frankly con-
fess they do not expect to hear from
the beleaguered garrison in Port Ar
thur again directly, except by accident,
until the fortress has been relieved or
surrendered or the IA ended. Some
native reports that drifted into head
quarters at Liaoyang and were for
warded here say that the Japanese
lost many thousands.
The impression in army circles is
that the Japanese will push operations
against Port Arthur with the greatest
energy, but it is also believed a month
or more will be required to bring up
siege guns. In the Chino-Japanese
war, although Kinchou was taken prac-
tically without opposition, eleven
days were necessary to prepare for
the storming of Port Arthur.

SEVEN FREIGHT AND COAL PIERS
ENTIRELY DESTROYED AT
JERSEY CITY.
CANAL BOATS ALSO BURNED
ESTIMATED THAT THE TOTAL
LOSS WILL REACH FIVE MIL
LION DOLLARS.

New York, May 3O.-Seven freight
and coal piers of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western railroad in Jer-
sey City were destroyed by a fire that
started about 5 O'Clock Sunday after
noon in Pier IL, ON which a lot of bar
rels OF oil were stored. The flames
spread rapidly. Pier IL was 500 feet
long and was soon ablaze it's entire
length, and the firemen who were try
ing to fight the fire from the sho.e
were able to accomplish but little.
The flames swept across to Pier J.
and beyond, being finally checked al
Pier 5, which is a new coal trest4v,
steel framed and iron clad. Here the
firemen and fire boats made a despe-
rate stand and stayed the advance of
the fire until the burning piers cruln-
bled and fell into the water. AL
though there was but little wind,
sparks fell all along the water front
for the better part or a mile, endanger-
ing the Lackawanna depot and even
the Hamburg-American and Bremen
line piers, where the fremen were kept
busy playing streams Of water upon
the buildings and over the ships at
their docks.
The building of the Hoboken Coke
company, five blocks from the main
fire, was set ablaZe by burning brands
but the building vas only slightly
damaged.
A number of canal boats and several
tugs were burned, the loss of small
boats being variously estimated at
from 80 to 200. The number of freight
cars burned is not known, but on this
class of rolling stock and on coal cars
he loss will be heavy.
Piers II and II were full of general
merchandise; Piers Z, 8, 9 and 10
used for coal and Pier 6 was a grain
loading pier.
Only four persons received injuries
that required them to be taken to the
hospitals and none Of these was hurt
seriously.
Vice President LOOMS Of the Lacka-
wanna placed the total loss by the
fire at $5,OO0,O00, based on the origi-
nal cost of the piers burned, freight
stored on them and on loss Of bust
ness which must ensue.

MAsTs SMASHED THE BOATS.
Reason the Loss of Life Was So Great
on the Tiehino.

Reason the Loss OF Lie wa So Great
on the Tiehino.
Toxic, MAJ 3O.-The neavy loss Of
life which accompanied the sinking Of
the Japanese cruiser Yoshino as a re.
suit of coliiding with the japanese
cruiser kasuga on May Is, was lue to
the smashing of five of her boats. By
falling masts. When the ships came
together, collision mats were used and
a tarpaulin was placed over the hole,
but it was impossible to stop the in
lush of water. The ship settled
quickly, listing to the starboard. Cap
tain Gin Sayeki ordered the crew to
the upper deck, where they manned
the boats. Five boats were lowered
on the starboard side and one of the
port side, but before they were cleared
the ship lurched to the starboard and
commenced to sink.
: The masts and davits smashed all
five of the boats on the s%tarboard side.
Captain sayeki remained on the bridge
and cried "banzai' to the sailors as
they were entering the boats. When
last seer he was shaking hands with
Commander Hirowatsri and bidding
him farewell.
All told, CSC officers and men per.
ished on the Yoshino and the Eatsuse.

MARINES MAY BE LANDED.
Should American Interests in Morocco
Sc l!nperiIied.

Washington, May 30.-Should Amer.
lean interests in Tangiers or other
points in Morocco be imperilled as a
result of complications growing out of
the capture of the American, Perdi-
caris, by the Moorish bandits, it may
become necessary to land marines
from the American men-of-war now on
their way there. This contingency,
however, has not been seriously on
sidered by the administration, as there
has been no evidence that such a step
will be necessary. Officials say it
never has been contemplated that ma
rines should be sent into the interior
of the country to assist in the rescue
of the captured men, as they could net
accomplish anything because of the
inaccessibility of the country.

achievement at Kinchou they regard
as proving the absolute military equal

Spend Your Dollars at Home.

The following taken from the
Anderson News will apply to Clay
City as well as TO Lawrenceburg:
''Ten years ago a farmer in An
derson county put an TX" on a
silver dollar, came to town and
spent it with one of our merchants.
Before the year was out he got the
dollar back for poultry and spent
it again with another merchant.
Four times in six years the dollar
came back home to him for pro-
duce and three times he heard of
it in the pockets of his neighbors.
The last time he got it in change
was three years ago and he sent it
to a mail order house in Chicago
that had amassed millions of dol
lars selling third-rate goods at first
rate prices. He has never seen
that dollar since. That dollar will
never pay any more road or school
tax for him, never help to build up
his home town or county, never
help his church or brighten the
home of a needy neighbor. He
sent it entirely out of the circle of
usefulness to him. Patronize your
home merchants and your dollars
will come back TO you. It's your
home merchants who are helping
You improve your home town and
county. 1t is your home mer-
chants who pay the taxes which go
to school your children. The road
you drive over going to the postof-
flee to send your dollar to Chicago,
Louisville and Cincinnati houses
are paid for by the taxes collected
from your home merchants. Had
you ever thought of that? 1t is time
for you to think, and let us suggest
that you read the ads of the mer-
chants in this paper, without whose
support you would not even have a
county paper, and when you are in
want of anything go to them and
buy it. Do that and your dollar will
come back to vou."

One of Winchester's young men
who is trying to go a champagne
gait on beer salary, invested in
one of those cheap buggies sold
by a Chicago catalogue house, and
a Sunday or two ago he invited
his best girl to take a drive with
him. She accepted the invita-
ton and the drive progressed in
a satisfactory manner, until the
young man attempted to drive
with one hand, or possibly with
no hands at all, and the spirited
horse started up the road at a
two minute gait and finally land
ed the outfit in a fence corner.
