AMERICAN COMMANDS
JAPANESE ARTILLERY.

Lao Yang. July 1.-Gen. Kuropatkin
and Gen. Kuroki are moving their
troops like men on a chess board. The
Japanese are now twenty miles from
Lao Yang. The rains are impeding
their movements.
Detachments totalling 1900 men have
been detailed from Gen. Rennen-
kampff's Cossacl1s 70 scout in the de-
files and hills. harassing the Japanese
and not allowing them any rest day or
night. The japanese artillery is said
here to be commanded by an American.
His tall form is frequently seen with
the batteries.
The Russian center is being rapidly
pushed northwards to a point where
Kuropatkin established his base after
the battle of Va-Fan-Gow. So far as
the Russians know, Kuroki is steadily
tain passes, even toward Mukden.
Preparations at all points are now
practically complete. The demonstra-
tons made during the last few days
against the Russian left flank threaten
to completely change the position OF
the two armies.
Notwithstanding four days rain, the
troops are still being moved. Some
Red Cross trains with wounded passed
northward June 80.

TWO ARRESTED FOR
LARCENY OF GOODS.

For larceny that was committed
some time ago, Andrew Bowler and
Estena LaGree have been arrested by
Detectives Davis and Bostick and will
be given hearing before the Record
er this morning.
The woman was caught only yester-
day, but the man has been under ar
rest for several days. The man pawned
some stolen goods, which had been
taken from the home of Simon Kinlaw
on York lane, between Barnard and
Jefferson street.
He claims the woman gave him the
goods to pawn. This the woman de-
Iniea. The officers know absolutely
that the goods were stolen and that
the man pawned them. The only
question in doubt is whether or not
the woman gave him the goods to
pawn. The officers think the woman
is guilty of stealing the goods and
that the man is guilty of taking them
and dispOsing of them, knowing them
to be stolen

OVER 100000 NEGROES
IN THE UNITED STATES
center of the Negro Population Is Near the
Georgia Alabama Line

lation is negro. the maximum being
in Issaquena county. Mississippi, with
more than fifteen negroes to each
white person.
Negroes form one-third of the popu-
lation in the South. both in cities
and in country districts, while in the
North they are about one-fortieth of
city and one-ninetieth Of country dis
tricts.
In the country districts of the South,
excluding the population of the 242
cities, which had at least $500 in
habitants both in 1890 and in 1900, the
negroes increa sed. 1890 to 1900, over Is
per cent; in the PAP Southern cities
as a whole they increased 21.7 per cent.
Their increase in the country districts
was about two-thirds as rapid as that
of the whites in the same area; their
increase in Southern cities was nearly
five-sixths as fast as that of the whites
in the same cities.
In the five Southern cities having at
least 100000 inhabitants i'll 1900, the
negro population increased 25.S per
cent, 1890 to 1900; the white population
of the same cities increased only 20.S
per cent. This is the only group of
Southern cities in which the rate of
increase of negro population exceeded
that of the whites. In the thirty
eight cities of this class in Continental
united states, the per cent. OF IN
crease was 3S for negroes and 1921 for
whites.
The largest numbers of negroes liV
ing in compact masses are found in
certain urban counties, several of
which lie outside the great cotton grow
ing states. The four counties, each
having over $4,000 negroes. are: Dis
trict of Columbia, coextensive with
Washington; Shelby county, Tonnes
see. containing Memphis; Baltimore
city. Maryland, and Orleans parish,
Louisiana, coextensive with New Or
leans.
The general conclusion seems war
ranted that the proportion of mulat-
toes to total negroes was found by the
enumerators to be high or low, accord
ing as the proportion of whites or ne
groes is high or low. The total num-
Der of negroes reported by the twelfth
census was S,S4O.7S9. To this number
may be added the 363742 persons of
pure or mixed negro blood in Porto
Rico, making a total of 9,204.5S1 ne
groes under American jurisdiction.
This inclues 1888, 1874 negroes of Con-
tinental United States, which excludes
those of Porto Rico, and few in Alas
ka, Hawaii and the military and naval
service.

the decrease will not much exceed 4

receipts will probably show gain of 8
per cent. for the month, though de-

The fiscal year as a whole, owing to

of per cent. in gross. Net earnings,
however, will probably show a slight
increase from the preceding fiscal year.

RUSSIA REPORTS
THE NAVAL ACTION.

st. Petersburg, July Emperor
Nicholas has received a dispatch from
Viceroy Alexieff. transmitting a report
from the acting commander of the
Port Arthur squadron. describing the
action of June 29 The report, after
telling of the departure of the squad
ron from Port Arthur. says:
Twenty miles from shore a Japa
nese squadron was sighted, steaming
in divisions, line ahead which on
drawing closer was found to be COM
posed of one second class and four
flrst-class battleships. four armored
hrst-class cruisers, seven second class
cruisers, five third class cruisers, one
scout boat, one steamer and thirty tor
pedo boats in two divisions.
AS they approached. the Japanese
were seen to be preparing to place a
division of cruisers and torpedo boats
between the shore and our squadron,
in order that during the night they
might force, by persistent torpedo at
lacks, some of our ships to break the
formation and in the morning engage
us with all their ships.
Taking into consideration the fact
that the enemy's entire force was
greatly superior to ours, and in view
also of the large number of japanese
torpedo boats, / decided to return to
Port Arthur, in order to act according
to circumstances, considering that this
plan of action laid us open to less risk
of loss.
'At 10 O'Clock the squadron reached
the roadstead where it cast anchor. At
the same time our rearmost warships
successfully repulsed two Japanese
torpedo attacks.
Notwithstanding the bright moon
light, the enemy continued to make
torpedo attacks on the roadstead until
daybreak, but the attacks were always
successfully repulsed.
THE torpedo boats attacked in
groups and at least two of them were
sunk

tered Port Arthur at high tide"
