dian schooner Troop, from the Grand
Banks fishing grounds, reports that on
August 20 Capt. zimmerman, of the
fishing schooner Coleraine, reported
having spoken a French barkentine,
name unknown, 10 miles off Cape
Race, with only three men left out of
crew of "a, the others having been
lost while fishing with their dories.
The French captain begged Capt. Zim-
mermann to board his vessel and help
him 20 reach this port, but the wealth
er was too stormy to permit compli-
ance with this request. and it is feared
that the French vessel and the re-
mainder of her GROW have Derished.

Japanese merchants are extending
Ineir efforts in the manufacture and
export of teas and it is possible that
this may be done somewhat in the
spirit of rivalry, but it must be con-
ceded that without the aid OF resident
foreigners engaged in the tea trade
Japanese teas would never have been
introduced abroad to any considerable
extent; neither would its present for
eign export be maintained. The same
may be said in the case of mattings
and other Japanese exports.

In the "Petrifed Forest" of Arizona
there is a natural bridge. across a mar
row canyon, consisting of the petri-
fed, or agatzed, trunk of tree Ill
feet in length. The petriied trees in
this region are believed to have -four
ished in the Triassic age Most of
them are allied to the Norfolk island
pine (Arucaria) OF to-day, but some
resemble the red cedar. Prof Carter
thinks the petrihcation was due to
soluble siHcates derived from the de-
composition OF the feldspathic cement
found in the sandstone of that region

iii War News J.


There is no official confirmation of
these statements, but the latest of
hclal dispatch TO the japanese lega-
ton here reports the capture of the
heights southwest of Liao Tang, at
dawn Thursday. This dispatch adds:
"ThereupOn the enemy south of Lao
Yang commenced TO retreat Our
armies are now pursuing him
Toxic, Sept. 2.-Tokio rings with
shouts and cheers for the victory at
LiaO Yang. The details of Thlrsday's
fighting are scanty. 1t is only known
that at dawn Gen. Okus army was
hurled against the Russian right cen
ter on the southern line and hat the
Russians We're forced to abandon their
positions and retreat.
The question of the occupation of
Liao Yang by the Japanese is in
doubt. The official dispatches do not
make mention of such occupation,
but it is assumed that the Russians
are withdrawing through Liao Yang
and that the Japanese possibly occu-
pied it late yesterday.
The Japanese casualties since Au-
gust 29 are officially estimated at TO-
00O.
st. Petersburg, Sept 2.-The news
of the evacuation of Lao Yang and
the withdrawal of the Russian army to
the right bank of the Taitse river
reached only a small section of the
people of st. Petersburg at late hour
and caused intense excitement and
disappointment.
The following statement was OBJ
tanned from the wal. Office at 10
o'clock Thursday night:
Gen. Kuroki's army crossed in
force to the right bank of the Taitse
river and it therefore became neces-
sary for the Russians to be in posi-
ton to repel blow in this direction.
''In view of this development in the
operations Gen. KuropatSin decided to
abandon his positions on the left
bank and to concentrate his whole
army on the other side of the river.
This position is the strongest both in
character and in site. The great fight
will be decided there.
by Withdrawing to this position
the Russian army avoids the danger
of being divided by the river"

JAPs RESUMED ATTACK.

Lao Yang, Sept. 1.-The second
days battle commenced at dawn. The
Russians made repeated baynonet ad-
vanceS on the road directly south of
Lao Yang. where the Japanese ap-
preached from Sanquaiship and Tao,
shelling the positions in the Russian
lines until 4 in the afternoon, when
the engagement which was general
throughout the south and southeast
narrowed to the main line. The Jap
anese advance on the southeast was
by way of the Feng Wang Cheng road
Immediately in front of Chiaofan-
tun the Japanese stubbornly attempt
ed to occupy a round-toppcd hill,
which was literally shaved by Russian
shells, making repeated attempts the
entire day where apparently it was
impossible for anything to live. The
cannonading continued from this
point TO the vicinity of Wangpaoti un-
til evening without apparent advan-
tage to either side.
The Japanese dropped shells within
two or three miles of the railroad sta
tion and in the plain of Wcntshu
mountain, which is the most impor-
tant eminence around Lao Yang but
the Japanese abandoned aggression
there on account of the resistance
they met. There was cannon fire
Tuesday night and this is expected
nightly.
Yesterdays developments show
that the Russians are prepared for all
emergencies. Rain began to fall at
noon, gradually transforming the
plain into a wilderness through which
the wounded, in carts and walking,
made their way to the hospitals. Con
sidering the scale of the days opera
tions the number of Russian wounded
is apparently small, while the Japa-
ncse losses are believed to be great,
especially where they were repulsed
on the south road.

BATTLE STILL RAGING.

St Petersburg, Aug. 31.-The great
battle of Liao Yang, which began
early Tuesday morning, ragged
throughout the day, but no further of
fetal details beyond two brief tele-
grams given out in the afternoon have
been received by the war office.
The Japanese forces engaged in this
battle are believed to number about
100000 men. Gen. KurOpatkin is
known to have six army corps, besides
14I squadrons of cavalry, bringing up
the Russian total to about the same
number that the Japanese have. How
the armies compare with regard to ar
tillery is not definitely known.
Reports from the front credit the
japanese with having about 200
guns and many mountain batteries.
Gen. kurOpatkin, in addition to his
field batteries, has a number of very
heavy guns emplaced at important po-
sitions at Lao Yang.
London, Aug. 31.-A dispatch from
Lao Yang dated August so, says:
THE Japanese artillery fire only
ceased at s o'clock this evening. The
casualties have not been ascertained.
The Third Russian corps repulsed
a hot Japanese assault, the Japanese
being hurled back by bayOnet charges.
"Two Japanese companies which
succeeded in occupying a Russian po-
sition were mistaken for Russians and
annihilated by japanese artillery fire"

RumOr has been current that the
Great Northern intends to organize a
land company to take over all the
business now conducted by the land
department. At present the land be-
longing to the company is over 5000
600 acres, and it is it's desire to popu-
late it with the very best settlers and
build up the resources of the west.
A number of men from the east are
in the city, inspecting the possibili-
ties of Northern Montana for farming
and grazing lands with irrigation fa-
cilities. They are delegates from late
land owners in Canada who have sold
their ranches and farms in that coun-
try.

A DISTINGUISHED SlDE.SnOW.

Governor Van SAINT of Minnesota is
d mild-mannered and obliging man,
but after a recent incident, in which
he was the central figure, he remarked
with sincere feeling:
tits a long worm that has no turn
ing, and its about time to turn when
/ am made a side-show feature"
He visited the St. Louis Fair and
entered a restaurant with his secre-
tary, searching for a hasty lunch.
The Governor was recognized, and
shown all possible attention, but as
he was about to begin eating, he was
surprised to hear the "barker' out
side the tent shout, as he swung the
dinner-bell vigorously:
''Step right this way to get your
nice warm lunch. Only chance you
may ever have to see the Governor of
Minnesota eat. He is just sitting
down to the table, and he can't get
through for half an hour. Plenty of
time to watch the whole performance
and shake his hand when he gets
through. Come right in and watch
him feed, and it won't cost you one
cent extra, as long as you order the
regular bill of fare"
In a few minutes the tent was
crowded, and the blushing Governor
and his tidgety secretary had to grin
and bear it, until they could obtain
their purposely delayed orders, and
show the crowd how the Chief Ex-
ecutive fed" when he is roaming at
large,
The Havre herald. [volume] (Havre, Mont.) 1904-1908, 1904-11-17

he afterwards explained, he did not
expect to get many votes thereby.
''It was one of the best audiences T
ever addressed" said he afterwards.
II usually hold my hearers pretty
well, but | may say that never before
or since have I talked to consider
able meeting without having one
single man get up and 60 out. OF
course had to be rather careful in
my choice Of subject. It seemed to
me that any impassioned tribute to
the blessings Of freedom would be
out of place, but I found later that
my computations on this subject
were quite baseless. When / had
finished the chaplain requested all
present to rise and join in singing
America and l assure you that no
lie of our national anthem was roared
out with more genuine enthusiasm
by these striped convicts than
Sweet land Of liberty!'

PRESIDENT BUCHANAN'S TREAT.

Ex-senator James l.. Pugh of Ala
bama has many interesting remin-
lscences to relate. One story he told
the other day related to some famous
whiskey which President Buchanan
had at the White House in 1860.
The equestrian statue Of Washing
ton in the circle between Twenty
third and Twenty-fourth streets was
unveiled one day in the early part of
February, lS6O," said Senator Pugh.
"Of course, the president and his
cabinet had to be there too.
About two hours before the
ceremonies were to occur I met a
congressman and suggested that we
go by the White House and see old
Buck, as we called the president.
Maybe he'll put out some of that
fine old whisky we have heard so
much about | said. They say it's
fine, and | am quite anxious to taste
it, and as the weather is so terrible
he will probably treat
"Sure enough one of the first things
the president did was to suggest that
we might be dry and need warming
up on such cold, damp day. He
called the whisky Tnsurrection,
whisky because it was some di ,tilled
along about 1885 when George Wash
ington had to 60 to PENNSYLVANIA
himself to assist in putting down the
riots that broke out in that state.
''This whisky was over eighty years
old the day old Buck asked us to
take drink with him. was anxious
to taste it to find out if it was better
than any other, but it wasn't a bit
better than what we are drinking
right now, gentlemen. |
I'm those days we didn't drink out
u glasses such as we have now. They |
we're large tumblers, and when the
1ecanter was passed over to me by
jhe president himself I took what
you may call a sockdolager-the
nearly two-thirds full. The
PRESIDENT noticed it and he said:
"Pugh you take a h of a big
irink, but suppose it is due to the
Weather, and | will take good sized
me myself.
''The president never allowed anv
nan to have the second drink of
Insurrection' whisky. One was all.
'ut he was most hospitable, and
When not busy it was his custom to
invite congressman to take a smile
With him, and you could get other
'rands afterward.
