 The report received from General Kuro- patlin bearing the same date says that there has been no change of import 1 ance in the situation and a close study of the dates shows that the rumor prob ably refers to the Japanese advance against General Rennankampff on the northern Siama tzsa-Iiao Yang road when they drove the Russians back as far as Houtslatze. twenty-six miles east of Liao ] Yang.
 later despatch to the Associated Press shows that General Herschelmann commanded this detachment of General Rennankampffs cavalry and that he turn ed and took the offensive, subsequently compelling the Japanese to retire in the direction of Skeyan.
 Further. but incomplete details of Gen. eral Kellers attack at Molten Pass, June 27, sent by the Associated Press cores pondent show that tho fight lasted all day and was a bloody affair. The sevesks regiment rushed eight of the Japanese guns with the bayonet, but later were compelled to abandon them.
 A Russian detachment which crossed tn, Liao river at dawn on the opening of thC fight discovered a Japanese detachment under hill dressed in the Russian uni form and hailed the soldiers in Russian uniforms as friends, but when the Rus sians got within easy range the Japa- nese opened fire.

 Former President Cleveland's published article discussing the present democratic policy and Judge Parkers leadership is regarded by Judge Parker as likely to be of great value in the campaign, and as one of the strongest appeals yet made to democratic voters.
 With regard to the frequently-made statement that an invitation to visit Rose mount had been received and ignored by Charles F. Murphy. leader of Tammany hall, it is learned that the report was based upon a remark made by Bourke Cochran during his recent call upon Judge Parker Mr. Cochran Is said to have suggested such a visit by the Tam many leader and Judge Parker said he would be very glad to welcome MT.

 At later hour the same night, a single torpedo boat made for the entrance of the harbor at full speed. but also retired under fire. Two Whitehead torpedoes which failed to reach the cruisers at which they had been discharged by the Japanese, were found the next day at the entrance to the harbor. On July Il the Japanese fire from the sea stopped and the Japanese troops ascendec Kin San heights, on the summit of which rapid fire guns were used against the Russians. During the evening of the 11th the Rus sian batteries sent many shells from three positions against the Japanese on the heights. This fire was very efrective. Later the Russian reserves, accompanied by bands of music, began movement toward Ludzigdao.

St Joseph, Mo- July 2l.-A riot call was turned in from the stock yards at 5 o'clock tonight and every available po- liceman is on duty endeavoring to control frenzied attempts of the labor unions who went on strike several days ago. The packers are not discharging the non-unlon men fast enough to suit the strikers. To- night the managers of all the packing plants in South St. Joseph notined the union men that about sixty per cent of the strikers will be put to work tomor- row
 The strikers say the packers are en- deavoring to hold all non-union men and that all of the union men cannot get back to work if the packers are permitted 10 carry ont their plans. Non-union men who apepared in the streets tonight were assaulted, and apparently there was con certed effort to drive them from the plants.
