More Factories Have Reduced Hours
or Wages and No Change Appears in
the Iron and Steel Industry.
New York, June 4.-R. q. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Interruption of industrial progress
by holiday, labor conflicts and in
clement weather again produced a
somewhat unsatisfactory trade situa-
ton. Yet the money market is easy
and liabilities of mercantile failures
are comparatively small indicating
that most concerns have prepared for
a quiet season and are able to with
stand period of diminished sales and
tardy payments.
This conservative attitude is the
strong feature of the situation. More
manufacturing plants have reduced
hours or wages, and several strikes
have added to the army of the unem-
plOyed.
No definite change is reported in the
iron and steel industry, quotations be-
ing barely maintained and new con-
tracts placed with great discrimina-
ton.
Commercial failures tbs week in the
United States are 22O, against 1S2 the
corresponding week last year. Failures
in Canada number 26, against "a last
year.

JAPs LOST 200 TROOPERS.

Liao-Yang, June 2.-The Japanese
lost 200 killed and a number of
horses in the fight at Vafangow on
Monday. The Russians opened fire
at S in the morning and after two
hours and a half of long range firing
the Japanese prepared to charge and
crush the force which had been har-
assing them for 81 days. In the
meantime Gen. Samsonoff was ap-
preaching Vafangow with a strong
force of cavalry. 1t was sight worth
seeing, when the Russian squadrons
formed and rushed like a whirlwind
across the terribly cut up country,
clearing away all obstacles, the bat
teries at the same time trotting along
the frightful roads.
Having passed the railroad station
the troops came under the fire of the
japanese machine guns, but withdrew
without suffering much loss. The
fourth and sixth companies of the
Eighth Siberian Cossacks furiousy
charged the Japanese cavalry with
lances, attacking both fanks In a few
minutes they literally cut the whole
squadron into pieces. This was the
first time lances were used, and they
struck terror into the enemy. In
some cases the lances pierced the
riders through and wounded their
horses. Some of the lances could not
be withdrawn from the bodies into
which they had entered.
The Japanese infantry, numbering
four battalions of 300 men to a com
pany, and eight squadrons of cavalry
attempted to advance, but the Rus
sian batteries opened and soon the
slope up which the enemy were ad-
vancing was covered with black spots
and the enemy was forced to retire
Some of the Japanese cavalry were
wonderfully dashing, charging with
shouts upon the Russians, VINO met
and scattered them.
st. Petersburg, June 2.-Gen. SAX
haroff has telegraphed as follows tc
the general staff:
According to reports the japanese
commander in the action of May &C
near Vafangow had three battalions
of infantry in reserve. Our losses
were II men killed and % wounded
The Japanese losses were very con.
siderable. One squadron of japanese
cavalry was annihilated in hand-t
hand encounter and another squadron
which came to it's assistance suffered
great loss from the fire of our rifle
men. We captured 19 horses"

Iowa City. Nov. 15.-Until two years

Miss Bertha r. Whitman. formally OF

subject of a very interesting expert
ment in the labratory Of the depart
ment OF psychology Of the state univer-

Seashore.
The object Of the experiments is to
determine the methods of hearing In
the field OF vision. The operation per-
formed two years ago restored Miss
Whitmar's sight, but her condition Is
OF course an abnormal one, making her
an unusual subject for the experiments
OF the psychologists. No conclusions
will be drawn until great deal OF
data has been obtained from repeated
and compared with like
experiments on normal persons. Such
cases are said to be extremely rare.
and the results will therefore be all
the more interesting.

this innovation the Iowa school takes
q step in advance Of other schools for
the deaf and no other school OF this
kind in the United States has yet I'M

they should not make success in that
field and secure ready employment.
