THE KIN-CHoU FIGHT.
Stoessel Gives Official Report-Region
Clear of Japs.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 21. $40 pm
The general staff has received a message
from Cen Stoessel. giving his account OF
the fight north of Kin-Chou Monday last.
Three Russian regiments were attacked by
two Japanese divisions with four batteries
of artillery. The Russians lost 160 In kill
ed or wounded, including an officer killed
and Brig Gen. Nadein slightly wounded
The japanese losses are not known, but 1t
is believed they were heavy.
The enemy's advance on Kin-Chou was
arrested The general staff explains that
this attack on the Russian troops was ar
ranged to take place simultaneously with
@ landing of Japanese troops in Kerr bay,
which was unsuccessful, owing to the num-
ber OF Russian mines there.
Expect Another Stubborn Fight
The general staff expects to hear of an
other stubborn fight at Kin-Chou The
landing OF a japanese force to flank Kin
Chou will be exceedingly difficult, and the
waters of Talien-Wan bay are too shallow
to permit a debarkation of troops.
The general staff says the whole region
northwest of Feng- -Wang-Cheng is clear of
Japanese and that reinforcements are daily
arriving at LiaO-Yang.
The statement from Niuchwang that
there is telegraphc communication be-
tween that town and Port Arthur Is not
believed by the general staff to be correct.
All messages from Port Arthur are brought
north by runner
1t is learned on high authority that the
orders of Vice Admiral Skrydloff required
him to report to Viceroy Alexieff and little
surprise Is expressed, In view of the rela-
tions between the two officials, at the fact
that the Instructions of the latter prevent
Admiral Skrydloff from following out the
plans he had determined upon.

Will Be Good Yield in
WdshtuCna This Season.
Or. STILES TALKS ENCOURAGINGly
Much Interest Being Taken in the
New Irrigation Project in That
Section Of Country.

DR.. Nj. stiles returned last night
from the Washtucna country where he
has homestead. When seen by d
Statesman representative today he
said:
The feeling the country over is OF
general satisfaction as there is very
good prospect for Il large crop the
coming season. A great deal of land
is seeded to wheat. and as yet the
winter has been so mild as not to dam
age it in the least. 1t is somewhat
colder there than here. 1t was snow
ing when | left Washtucna yesterday
and it kept it up until l had reached
La Crosse. although it had not reach
ed any depth.
The people over there find it very
hard to live, AS all kinds of produce is
very high. and in fact the poor man
who goes there has a very hard time
in proving up on his claim. 1t is hard
to get a crop from raw land until it is
worked at least two years, SO it is
readily seen that q man without means
finds q hard row to hoe. AS a rule the
people are all poor. The merchants
are doing al in their power to help
RI tnt Sf.l.l q
with groceries until their crops are
harvested. but as it takes money to run
business Of any kind. they can't do
all credit business.
There is great interest displayed
in the new proposed canal which. if
put through. will redeem between 80
900 to $4,000 acres of the land situated
between Washtucna and Pasco. The
proposition is to dam the PalOuse river
some distance below La Crosse so as
to raise it to a height of 80 feet and
run it to the COulee where a reservoir
amount of land can be irrigated. AT
present meetings are being held all
over the country and petitions are be
ing signed which will be forwarded to
the department of the interior
''There is some land changing hands.
A wealthy real estate man of WASH
tucna bought a section of land some
time ago. paying $1,000 for it. Several
small deals are being made.

TEACHERS

I wish to say through The News
to those teachers who are still looking
for an early payment of their first and
second months school reports that
there is no money remaining in the
treasury at present
We had only small amount that
accrued from the collection of polls
and 2 mill levy-quite insufficient to
pay all the first months reports, and
as these collections are deposited
monthly with the treasurer, we cannot
hope for any more funds until January.
1t is oeplorable, to say the least,
that teachers must wait so long for
their pittance, and this notice is
given to preve,t my unnecessary
trips through tbs Ii to Brandon.
Sincerely yours,

RICHARD j. LITTLE.

r. J. Little died at his home at
Trenton, Smith county, last Friday
evening between four and five o'clock.
He was born in Kemper county, the
30th Of September, 1842. and raised in
Smith county, on farm. His father
was A. j. Little, who died in Deem
Der, 1889, and his mother was Cathar-

the war commenced. He then joined
the 36th Mississippi Infantry regiment
in the company commanded by Captain
Partin. He was in the battle of Iuka,
and in the battle OF Corinth, where
he was wounded in both hands in a
charge that drove the federals out of
the strongest trenches, exactly half
of his company being killed orwounded
by the volley that wounded him. He
was in a number of other battles, and
in the siege of Vicksburg, where he
was captured and paroled, and never
afterwards exchanged.
After the war he made the money
that he expended on his education |;
and after educating he taught school
for awhile, and then engaged in mer-
chandising until his death.
In 1870 he married Miss Sallie
Lotion. of Trenton, to whom were
born two children.
He Joined the Methodist church

tate, ana lived consistent christian
life, and died as christians die. He
was Mason in (good standing, and
had been SO since his early manhood.

It becomes more and more evident
that the ingenuity of Democratic plat
form builders will be taxed to the ut
most when it comes to fixing up the
tariff plank at st. Louis The people
are rather used to free trade straddles,
they have even been deceived two or
three times, but not again so soon
after the experience under the last
free trade law. The best thing the
Democratic party can do is to skip
the tariff plank this time BY the way

trader or a Hill and Murphy protec-
zionist?
