DECREE IS
NOW FILED
Chief Justice Considers
Experience Gained
Valuable.

The decree following the County Act
decision was presented by Messrs. Mat
thewman and Hemenway and duly enter
ed in the Supreme Court yesterday. Be
fore its presentation Chief Justice Frear,
on being informed of an impression
abroad that county officers had some
standing as such until the decree was
entered, said:'
''The decree makes no difference 1t
is not the decision that makes the Coun-
ty Act void. The Act is void of itself
and nothing done by virtue of it can.
be legal"
The Chief Justice mentioned that, in
his researches on the case, he came
across a decision where a law au-
thorizing the issue of county bonds was
found null and void, after the bonds
had been issued and current four years.
"All this is not time lost" Chief JUS
tice Frear added. eve have gained
great deal of information for future
guidance from the experience"
He considered that, in proceeding a.
new, county government might best be
attained through several measures COW
ering the different related subjects.
Following is the form of the decree:

Oklahoma Representative Received
Sign From Arkansas Exhibit.

st. Louis, Aug. 29.-Oklahoma
wrested from Arkansas the honor of
having the large apple in the pal
ace of horticulture at the worlds
fair.
For some time an Arkansas apple
has been a rather conspicuous sign,
which read: 1.-THE biggest Apple in
the building" This sign now occupies
an even more prominent position in
the Oklahoma section of the horticul-
tura1 hall.
The Oklahoma commission received
five crates of apples of the Wolf river
variety. Of these apples one weighed
twenty-five ounces and measured six
teen inches in circumference.
With great gusto the Oklahoma rep
resentative proceeded at once with the
product of the soil of that territory to
the Arkansas exhibit, and displayed it
to those in CHARGE They acknOwledg-
ed that they were beaten on the apple
proposition and turned over the sign
ed off with it.
to the Oklahoman, who proudly walk
Arkansas claims that its defeat is
but temporary, and that once more
the coveted sign will be in it's section
of the exhibit.

No HOPE CT Taking Port Arthur By The
Japanese.
WILL STARVE THEM OUT NOW.
1t Costs Too Many Lives to Keep UP
the Attack on Port Arthur-Japan
csc are preparing to Fight General
Kuropatkin.

Paris, Aug. 2e.-The Toxic CORES
pendent of the Matin declares that the
Japanese minister of war has con-
fidentially informed his colleagues
that there is no hope of taking Port
Arthur by direct assault and that
long operations will be necessary.
Therefore the minister has ordered
Field Marshal Oyama to avoid attacks
entailing heavy losses. This, the cor
respondent says, has been concealed
from the pubic.
Kantzertun,( seven miles southeast
of Lao Yang. Contrary to the expec-
tation of the Russians, the Japanese
are beginning to advance along the
whole lines of the Russian western
front. On the morning of August "a
there was a rife skirmish and the
next day the Japanese artillery open
ed fire.
The Japanese pushed their attack
against the Russian right flank and
center. Three officers and several men
were wounded early in the day, but
the battery held its position and re-
piled to the Japanese fire with such
marked effect that General Markanoff
sent a congratulatory message to its
commander. 1t is not possible yet to
state definitely the result Of the bat

MORE TROUBLE IN COLORADO.
State Troops May be Ordered to Grip
Pile Creek at Once.

Denver, Aug. 27.-It was announced
at the state house that the officers of
the guard in this city had been notified
to hold themselves in readiness to
take their commands to Cripple Creek
at a moments notice. Adjutant Gen
eral Bell refused to confirm the re-
port, but there is activity at the arm
cries.
Cripple Capiases were plac-
ed in the hands of Sheriff Bell for
twenty-eight prominent citizens of the
Cripple Creek district, against whom
information has been filed in the dis
trict court by Deputy District Attor-
ney G. G. Butler. The charges are
conspiracy and assault to kill, con-
spiracy and false imprisonment, and
conspiracy, malicious mischief and
larceny, in connection with the recent
depOrtatiOn.

tie but it is said the Russians were
-uccessfu1..
Lao Yang.-According to the best
information obtainable the Japanese
are prepared for desperate attack on
Lao Yang, in which, the Chinese say,
they are confident of success. Siege
guns have been sent from Yin Kow to
Tatchekiao intended for use against
Kuropatkin's position.
st. etersbHrg.-The advices of the
war Office from the front are very mea-
ger. In fact, they are confined to
report dated August "a, giving an ac-
count of an advence of the Japanese
column of 10000 men along the main
road towards Lao Yang, which be-
gan at daybreak, August "a. The Jap
anese drove in the Russian outposts
and when the column reached a point
couple of miles west of Liandiansian
the Japanese attempted to install bat
teries, but they met with such hot
fire that they only succeeded in plac-
ing one battery, which was soon COM
PEELED to change its position. At the
moment of sending the dispatch the
Japanese had suspended operations.
The war Office was much elated
at the receipt of dispatch from Lieu
tenant General Stoessei, dated from
Port Arthur, August %, reporting that
the Japanese had at last been exhaust
ed by their attacks and that the bonn
bardment had been suspended. Full
details regarding the dispatch are not
available, but it probably refers to the
Che Foo dispatch announcing the re-
losses in their attacks upon Fort No.
1 and Fort Eteeshan.
st. Petersburg.-No decision has
been reached, so far as known here, by
the French authorities regarding the
duration of the stay Of the Russian
cruiser Diana at Saigon, French In
do-China. 1t is understood that her
injuries are not serious and if France
demands her disarmament she will put
to sea and possibly return to Euro
pean waters.
