JAPANESE WIN FIGHT.
Victorious in First Serious Land Bat.
fle of IL q War.

tie of the War.
A serious battle was fought Monday
at Chong-Ju, in northeastern Korea, in
which the Russian forces were defeated
and forced to retreat, with what loss
cannot be ascertained, though the off,
cial report says only three men were kill
ed and twelve wounded. 1t is believed
that the Japanese, though victorious, lost
heavily.
Cavalry and infantry on both sides
were engaged. The Japanese fought gal
lantIy, but were so exhausted that they
were unable to follow up the retreatins
Russians, who fell back in good order on
Kasan.
The battle came as the climax of three
days of skirmishing between the outposts
of the hostile armies confronting each
other between the Yalu and Ping Y ang.
News of the engagement came in the
form of n report from Gen. Kuropatkin
to the Gar transmitting Gen. Misht-
chenko's report of the action. This re-
port, as given out, is exceedingly vague
on the matter of the Russian retreat and
the reasons for it if the loss was no
larger than he admits. 1t is entirely
within the range of possibility that Gen.
Mishtchenkos report was edited before
given to the press.
1t thus happens that the first report
sent by Gen. Kuropatkin after his ar
rival in the field records Russian de-
feat on the sixth anniversary Of the
Russian occupation of Port Arthur. The
operations took the form of cavalry
attack by six companies of COSsacks, led

man Nature Appeared.
The spirit Of the nation which in.
vented the trust and has beaten ali
comers in the art Of selling things to
the rest of the world, cropped out in
a little incident near the C0rtlandt
street ferry yesterday, though puny
and slight were the bodies that held 1T.
They were four little boys keenly
competing at the ferry gates for
chances to earn few cents by carry
ing packages. When the ferryboat
come in It brought one opportunity;
but only one She who could make
1t remunerative was a cOlored woman;
gorgeously arrayed. In one hand she
held suit case and in the other
bundle, and at the same time, with
great difficulty, she held in both hands
her trailing skirt to hoist it out Of
the mud. But to all cries Of Garry
your package" Take it to the ele-
vated for nickel" she turned a deaf
ear and trudged up the street.
There was consultation among the
rivals. Then one boy crossed the street
and sped swiftly ahead. The other
three followed the woman with deris-
i've cries:
Look at them feet! Did you ever
see 'em beatY' "If she wasn't SO mean
she could hold up her skirts without
showin' EN-" Maybe she amt got d
nickel"
And then, when the woman, goaded
TO desperation, was about to turn on
her tor1nentors, there approached from
the front the fourth conspirat6r with
the indignant air Of Sir Waiter Ra-
leigh. With a "G'wan, yer lobstersr'
to the boys behind, he lifted his cap
% the woman.
~Carry yer suit case, lady? Take
1t to the elevated fer a dime. Them
fellers oughter be ashamed 6f their
selves.
He got the job, and ten minutes
later the four conspirators were shoot
ing craps for the profits.-New York

Humor of the War.

Russia could use a couple Of Deweys
In its business if it knew just where to
lay its hands on them.
The Vladivostok squadron is in Pos
siet Bay, which prevents the japanese
landing troops in Wonson.
Seeing what has happened to most of
its armored ships, Russia does wisely to
put its faith in armored trains.
When Kuropatkin begins looking for
the front probably he will be extremely
gratifed to find that there is SO much
Of it.
As long as the Russians continue to
blow up their own ships the japanese
need only wait and enjoy the spring
weather.
1t is said that Emperor William might
act as mediator, but can the japanese,
on searching their clothes, discover any
thing to arbitrate?
While entering Port Arthur the Rus
sian torpedo-boat destroyer SkOrri struck
mine and was blown up. Only four of
the crew were saved.
Crossing the Yalu seems to have be-
come a fixed habit of the Russians, if
we are TO believe all the dispatches from
that part of the world.
In running into their own torpedoes
perhaps the Russian sailors wish to go
those Americans one better who rub
against uncharted rocks.
In Japan the two political parties have
united in support of the government. To
hit Russian head wherever seen is the
only politics now in the island empire.
The Russian government has accorded
permission to two British officers, Gen.
Sir NJ. G. Gerard and Col. Waters, to
follow the Russian operations in the far
East.
According to information received by
the Russians at Shanghai the opposition
party in Japan is protesting against the
imposition of new taxation on the popu-
lation. Lack of money is also said to
be the cause of the delay in the trans
portation of japanese troops.
Russia has declared the following addi-
tional articles contraband of war: Pro-
visions Of all kinds destined for the jap
anese army, including grain, fish pro-
ducts, beans, bean oil, parts of ma
chimes for the manufacture of weapons
and ammunition.
The Russians are making survey
over northern Korea, carefully question
ing the Inhabitants as to operations.

Protest of Consul Miller Needed by
Russian officials at Newchwang.
Under strong representation made
by United States Consul Henry B. Mil
ler that the civil administrator at New
chwang had invaded neutral rights when
he ordered the lowering of the American
flag from buildings belonging to Ameri
can citizens, even though it was done
through the apprehension that the flag
was Illegally used by Chinese for the
purpose of resisting police inspection, the
civil administrator has promised to duly
and in proper form through the military
authorities raise the flag over the build
ing from which it was removed. The
British flag, which was ordered taken
down, will also be allowed to remain.

ton to strangle the shipping trade at

Tho Discovery or Radium.

1t was at the close Of the year 1897
that 1 began to study the compounds
Of uranium, the properties of which
had greatly attracted my interest. Here
was a substance emitting spontaneous
iy and continuously radiations similat
to Roentger rays, whereas ordinarily
Roentgen rays can be produced only
In vacuum-tube with the expenditure
Of electrical energy. By what process
can uranium furnish the same rays
without expenditure of energy and
without undergoing apparent mddifica-
don? Is uranium the only body whose
compounds emit similar rays? Such
were the questions asked myself, and
1t was while seeking to answer them
that entered into the researches
which have led to the discovery Of ra.

medicine all the time. I had what l
thought was the best stomach medicine
1 could get, had to keep getting it filled
all the time at 40 cents bottle.
did not know what the cause Of my
trouble was, but just dragged along
from day to day suffering and taking
medicine all the time.
about six months ago quit tea
and coffee and began drinking Postum.
and 1 have not had my prescription
filled since, which is a great surprise
to me, for it proves that coffee was
the cause of all my trouble, although
I never suspected it.
"When my friends ask me how I
feel since 1 have been taking Postum
say, TO tell the truth don't feel at
all only that / get hungry and eat
everything I want and lots of it and it
never hurts me, and am happy and
well and contented all the time
II could not get my family to drink
Postum for a while until l mixed it
In little coffee and kept on reducing
the amount of coffee until l got 1T all
Postum. Now they all like it and they
never belch it up like coffee.
1--WE all know that Postum is a sun
shine maker. I find it helps one great

aches and pains all the time and can

JAPs LANDING IN KOREA.
Nineteen Transports Are Discharging
Troops at Chinnampo.

The ice is broken in the harbor at
Chinnampo, permitting the entry of Il
large fleet of japanese transports chiefly
loaded with supplies. Immediately five
boat bridges were thrown over the shall
low water from the harbor's edge and
the landing of the second division, other
wise the imperial guard, the cream of
the japanese army. was commenced.
Hitherto comparatively few troops have
reached Chinampo, but preparations
point to the early landing of great
force. Some of the imperial guard have
set out for Anju and others for Ping
Yang, where the troops are massing. All
houses in Chinnampo have been COM
mandeered. The telegraphs, previously
in nominal control of the Koreans, now
have been taken by the japanese, whose
strict censorship results in mutilation, de-
lay and refusal of messages. All CORE
spondents were warned not to proceed
north, where the cavalry had been or
dered to stop them.
