French TricolOr IL Now Flying.
LONDON, March 30.-Advices from
st. Petersburg say the emperor has re-
ceived a dispatch from General Kuro-
pntkin giving Il lengthy report from
General Mishtchenko which says that
an important engagement has taken
place neal the town of Chongju in
which the Russians were defeated, re
firing in perfect order. His report says:
"For three consecutive days our adj
vance outposts attempted to draw the
Japanese cavalry into action, but their
patrols, after contact was established,
retired beyond Chongju, about fifty
miles northwest of Pingyang.
Having learned that four squad
rons Of Japanese were posted five
versts beyond Chongju, six companies
Of infantry marched toward Kasan,
an1 on reaching Chongju, as our scouts
approached the town, the enemy open
ci fire from behind walls. Two squad
rons promptly dismounted and occu-
pied the heights GOO yards distant. An
engagement ensued.
"In the town a company of infantry
and q squadron of cavalry were lying
In ambush. Our men were REINFORCED
by three companies and attacked the
Japanese with a crossfre. Notwith-
standing this and our commanding po-
sition the Japanese CALAMITY held
'hoir ground, and it was only after q
fierce fight of half an hours duration
that the japanese ceased fire and
sought refuge in the houses. The Jap
ancse hoisted the Red Cross flag at
two points.
soon afterward three squadrons of
the enemy were seen advancing along
the Kasan road at full gallop toward
the town, which two of the squadrons
succeeded in entering, while the third
fell back in disorder under repeated
volleys from our troops. A number of
mon and horses were seen to fall.
For an hour afterward our com-
panies continued. to fire on the .Japa-
nese In the town, preventing them
from leaving the streets and houses.
Gan hour and n half after the begin
ming of the engagement four compa-
MES were seen. on the Kasan road
fastening to attack. | gave the order
to mount, and the entire force, with
a covering squadron, advanced in per
feet order and formed in line behind
the hill. The wounded were placed in
front, and the retirement was carried
with the deliberation of a parade.
Our troops occupied a commanding
position, but were unable to hold it.
The Japanese fought CALAMITY, but ow-
ing to their heavy losses were unable
to occupy the position abandoned by
our force.
THE japanese squadron which was
thrown into disorder was evidently
unable to occupy the hill which we
had Just evacuated, and their infan-
try arrived too late.
1.-THE detachment protecting our rear
guard arrived quietly at Kasan, where
we halted for two hours in order to
give attention to or wounded. AT O

Warships May be Sent.

Washington, August 4-Needless
to say the tenor of the remarks made
bY President Nord, of Haiti, in his
speech, in which be threatened re-
currence of the horrible massacre of
the whites in 1904, has caused the
greatest concern in official and diplo-
matte circles, where, at this time par
ticalarly, it is greatly desired to
avoid any semblance of foreign COM
plications.
For political reasons President
Roosevelt desires the United States
keep out of all imbroglios in the
West Indies at any cost, except ua-
tional honor, and it has realized that
the situations in Venezuela and
Haiti are drawing periously near the
danger line. Had it not been for the
approaching Presidential election
there is not the slightest doubt that
Americas warships would long ere
this have been sent to Haiti and also
to Venlzuelan ports. .

just now, in view Of the meat strike
and the fact that the butchers are
clamoring for South Carolina meat.
The figures show that there are in
this State over SO 306 dogs. valued at
$437 6G6 There are also 1912
sheep, valued at Slll,770, although
the latter figures are thought to be
somewhat exaggerated. 1t is also
shown that the average yield from
sheep 10 this State was about four
pounds of wool, and that the yield
from the entire State was a little
over 100000 pounds of wool. These
figures will be widely distributed by
the State Department of Agriculture
and attention is called to the money
that could be made of of the wool
industry here, as we'll as the income
from the sale to butchers. Next year
it is expected that this may cut down
the dogs some.

Some Japanese Customs.

Widows in Japan cut their hair
short and comb it back plainly with
out parting unless, indeed, they are
prepared to accept fresh offers, in
which case they give broad hint Of
their inclinations by twisting their
hair round a long she'll hairpin placed
horizontally across the back of the
head. Manageable maidens dis
tinguish and, as it were, advertise
themselves by combing their locks
high in front and arranging them in
the form of q butterfly, which is some
thing to be caught, or fan half
open, and adoraing these significant
designs with bright colored balls and
gold or silver cord. Speaking gene
rally, the dressing of the hair, which
is changed at intervals from child
hood upward, is an indication of the
age and position cf the simple mind

Negroes Not Wanted.

A great many negroes were i'm
ported into Chicago to take the
places of strikers in the stock yards.
They were assaulted and not permit
ted to go to work except when they
were secretly spirited into the shops.
As the Augusta Chronicle says, the
South may hang a mean negro ocea-
sionally, but it is the only section of
this country where law-abiding
negro can find employment without
prejudice or hinderance. And this
is consideration of vastly more i'm
portsnce to the respectable negro
than any other.

RICHMOND TIED
FOR SECOND PLACE
WITH KOKOMO IN THE HIGH
SCHOOL FIELD MEET AT
ANDERSON SATURDAY.
FAILURE TO MAKE GOOD
Caused Much .Comment-Newma
Was the Best Athlete for
Richmond.
FAILURE TO MAKE GOOD
Especial to the Palladium. J

Anderson, May Marion, the
team that was not booked for a high
er place than second at least, won
the interscholastic field meet yester-
day afternoon between the high
schools Of Richmond, Anderson, Ma
rion and Kokomo. The points were
divided as follows: Marion 45; Rich
mond, SO; Kokomo, 33; Anderson, 6.
A reception was given the visitors
last night and the two trophy cups,
for the meet and the relay race, were
given to Marion. Perhaps the great
est disappointment Of the meet was
the failure Of Anderson to "make
good' at all and the failure of the
Richmond athletes to come up to the
popular expectation Of their ability.
Richmond was confident of getting
first place, too confident in fact, and
on the "dope sheets' they were
booked as winners, sure winners, and
the result of the meet was a great
surprise TO many. The Richmond
boys said that Gem, their star ath-
lete, had been sick for a long time,
and so was not in his best form.
Marion was right there in ev-
cry event and steady con-
sistent work won them the
deserved pennant. Kokomo put up a
good showing, better than that of
Richmond, but somehow the needed
point to secure second place was not
forthcoming, and thus the two teams
are tied for second.
The summary of the meet as tc
Richmond was as follows:
22O yard low hurdle-Newman
first; time % Is sec.
Shot put-Genn, third.
100 yard dash-Genn, second.
44O yard dash-Reller, second.
Discus throw Carman, third.
80 yard dash-Reller, third.
Half mile run-Newman, first
time, 2 min, 20 sec.

High jump-Manford, third.
Mile run-Hill, first; time 5 min.

GILLESPIE TRIAL
(By Associated Press.)

Rising Sun, Ind, May 23.-In the
Gillespie trial DR.. Heyl, expert, tes-
tilted that window glass one foot
from the muzzle of a gun would
have no influence on the scattering of
shot and that a gun such as James
Gillespie owned would not scatter
proximately as did the assassin s
weapon. He thought an ordinary
muzzle loading gun would scatter ap-
proximately as did the assassins'
weapon.
Myron Barbour was the first one
of the defendants placed on the wit
ness stand. He said he was reading
a newspaper in the parlor when the
fatal shot was fired. 1t sounded like
an explosion in the rear of the col
ored church. He ran around the
church but saw no one. He then de-
tailed what he saw and did as has
been told by the other witnesses. He
denied what he said to Earl Seward,
"He ought not to have shot her for
her poor old grandma s sake.' Cross
examination was not ended when the
noon recess was taken.

FORMAL OPENING
OF GLEN MILLER
FOR THE 1904 SUMMER SEASON
TOOK PLACE YESTERDAY
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
NEARLY 1000 PRESENT
The Glen Was at It's Best and Pre-
sented a Very Handsome
Appearance.

On an ideal day and under the
most favorable circumstances the
formal opening of Glen Miller Park
for the summer season took place
yesterday. The park was crowded
with people from one until six o'clock
The small towns surrounding Rich
mond each contributed their quote
and the interurbans, especially that
from the east, brought crowds of ca
ger pleasure seekers. 1t is estimated
that over fifteen hundred persons
were in the Glen at three o'clock, the
time set for the opening. Runge's or
chestra seated in the pavilion, fur
nlshed the music and did fine, and
save that the music could not be
heard to any great distance there
were no drawbacks. The Glen was at
its best. The lake was dotted with
boats, all those in the boathouse be-
ing pressed into service, so great was
the demand. The street cars were
literally jammed with people going to
the Glen. 1t seemed as though near
ly all Richmond people was present
and the park presented a beautiful
appearance, the bright colors setting
off we'll against the background of
the trees and hills. The pavilion did
a rushing business all afternoon and
the swings, etc were kept going all
the time.
The animals proved a great attrac-
ton for out of town visitors who
were unanimous in declaring that the
Glen is the finest park in this part
of the country by all odds.
