JAPAN WINS A BATTLE.
In Fact Two Victories Are Given To
Their Credit.

London, May 9s.-The correspondent
at Toxic cables that the Japanese at
tackled Nan Guam Ling, on the narrow
est part of the Kwan-Tung peninsula
and drove back the Russians by main
force. The attack on Kin-Chou, the
dispatch adds, was begun at dawn and
by noon Kin Chou was in the hands OF
the Japanese, who occupied the castle.
The fighting was of the most des-
perate character. 1t is believed the
casualties were heavy.
In an ehrlier dispatch the CORE
spondent cabled that Japanese spies
had ascertained that the Russians had
thirty guns at Kin Chou and numerous
mines and wire entanglements at all
points where Japanese attack was ex-
pected.
After the occupation Of Kin Chou
the Russians retired in good order to
the heights further south which were
attacked by the full Japanese force
and carried after stubborn resistance
The Shan Khai Kwan correspondent
sends a report received from New
Chwang that thinking the Japanese
had retired from Feng Wang Cheng,
$4,000 Russians from Hal Cheng and
Lao Yang were marched toward Feng
Wang Cheng. They were surprised by
10000 Japanese in the Tatung pass.
The Russian casualties were 1000, and
over a thousand Russians surrendered.
The report does not state the Japanese
losses.

Japanese Plans . Puzzle.

Lao Yang, May 23.-The japanese
plan of campaign is pulling the Rus
slams. The japanese appear and then
vanish. 1t is impossible to guage the
strength of the troops they have land
ed as they are scattered and are occu-
plying elevated positions in the noun
tains. Typhus is very prevalent in
Korea and is increasing daily.
Typhoons are causing immense dam

Paris, May 26.-The Sorie claims

Russian court who recently visited
Paris came on secret mission which
had for its purpose the seeking of the
Intervention and effective support of
the French government in the event of
China adopting an aggressive atti-
tude toward Russians in Manchuria.

A LICENSE AT SAME COST.


Topeka, May 26.-Since the United
States supreme court has upheld the
decision of the Kansas supreme court
in the American Book Company case,
involving the corporation act, the Sec
rotary of the state is preparing to got
after many foreign corporations for
non-payment of licenses. Under the
law foreign corporations have to pay
license fee equal to the charter fee OF
domestic corporation. In other
words, the license fee of a foreign cor
poration of 100000 capital would be
the same as t he charter fee Of a do
domestic corporation of the same capt.
tai. Many foreign companies doing
business in the state before the law
was passed claimed that the law was
not retroactive and, therefore, they
would not have to take out license.
The supreme court, in the American
Book Company case, declared that all
foreign corporations had to take out
licenses even if they were doing busi-
ness here before the law was passed.
The book company tied up the matter
by appealing to the United States SUI
preme court. That tribunal recently
upheld the decision Of the state SUI
preme court Now the secretary OF
state will proceed to collect the license
from delinquent foreign corporations.
A foreign license is deprived OF the
protection of the courts.
