Marshal Hull of Kirksville lost q
girl prisoner at Macon. He was TAX
ing Ollie Moore, aged 16 years, to the
Girls Industrial home. at Chillicothe.
His charge was very obedient on the

was not in the station.
Although Hull and a half-dozen po-
licemen and constables searched the

weighs over 200 pounds, and was not
supposed to be much of a Splinter.
Marshal Hull says this is the first pris-
oner who has escaped from him dur
ing IS years service as an officer.

character appeals to the peoples mind.
1t is generally recognized that Rear
Admiral Yeszen can not do more than
brighten the Japanese and compel them
to exercise greater care in their mill

transports or even cruisers can have
no permanent effect on the result of
the war. Moreover, he is bound by
his instructions not to risk his ships

lions Up the Yalu.
Toxic, April 2S-7 p. m.-The Japan
ese gunboat Maya, accompanied by
several torpedo boats, entered and as
cended the Yalu river on Monday, April
Is, and fought a series of small en-
gagements with the Russian land
forces on Monday and Tuesday. Ad-
miral Hosoya, who is in command of
the third squadron, has sent in a re-
port of these operations, in which he
says:
"Our detachment reached the Yalu
river ON Monday. While going up the
stream the enemy's field guns opened
against us without effect. We discov-
cred a force of the enemy on an island
in midstream. We fired upon them,
whereupon they fled.
"On Tuesday the enemy's cavalry,
100 strong, attacked us. Our launch
and our torpedo boat No. GO, replied
to their fire and the enemy fled into
the mountains, leaving several wound
ed behind them.
cat five o'clock Tuesday afternoon
the enemy opened fire on us from
Antsushan and we replied and silenced
them in half an hour. There was no

The Russian Press Aroused Owe
Current Mediation Talk.
st. Petersburg, April 29.-The Rus.
sian press is aroused over the talk OF
mediation, and is inclined to attribute
the responsibility for the proposal to
the Anglo-French agreement, the re-
suit being the agreement does not OBJ
tain favor.
The Novoe Vremya declares the
An~glo-French understanding has rem
dered poor service to Russia in prompt
ing the idea of mediation, and adds:
"It is idle to expect an Anglo-Rus
sian understanding as a result of the
Anglo-French entente. 1t will take
long time for Great Britain to reach
Russia's confidence"
The Port Arthur correspondent OF
the Russky Invalid writes:
"The Japanese have invented a new
combustible. 1t is extinguishable. They
tried to burn the battleship Retvizan
by setting adrift RATS loaded with this
burning material. The Retvizan sank
them, but the combustible continued to
burn under water"

st. Petersburg, April 29.-The salts
faction of the people of st. Petersburg
at the exploits Of the V~ladivostok
squadron is tempered with admiration
for the bravery of the Japanese SOL
diers who were on board the sunken
transport Kinshiu-Karu, and who pre-

ship.
The admiralty admits that the men
acted h~eroically, but holds. that Ad-
miral Yenszen had no other alterna-
tive than to sink the transport, since
he could not spare a prize crew or
