He barely escaped from there before

Russians here will not talk of the sit

More Bad News for Russia.
Two official dispatches calculated to
increase the depression existing among
all circles in Russia were given out
Sunday night. From the point of view
of the progress of the campaign, the
most important is that regarding the
capture ty ehe Japanese without oppo-
sition of Feng Wang Cheng, on May
9th. The second gives details con-
corning the killed, wounded and miss
ing among the troops under the COM
mand of Lieutenant General Zassalitch,

Yalu. the number of which totals 1887
officers and men.
Gen. kuropatkin forwarded a mes
sage from Lieutenant General Zas-
salitch, who had been left in command
OF the column retiring from Feng
Wang Cheng, which described the
movements of the enemy in connection
with the occupation Of the town
The information caused no surprise
to the officials who had already been
advised Of the decision that no at
tempt would be made to hold Feng
Wang Cheng, the superiority of the
| Japanese in all fighting arms ensuring
disaster similar to that Kiu Lien
Cheng. Therefore. Gen. Zassalitch
was given strict orders that there
should be no fight of the rear guard.

NO SHAM BATTLE
General Byers Refuses to Order One
-Cumnins Will Review.

DIES MONIES, IOWA-The Iowa
National Guard is camped at Camp
Croker, three miles south of the city
and just across a small lane from
the new army post, Fort Des Moines.
Adjutant General M. H. Byers is in
command. The camp will Ibe con-
tinued for two weeks. One thousand
men were in camp tonight with tents
pitched: The camp properly opened
with the sounding Of the reveille
this morning. Des Moines has not
seen a camp of militia since the Iowa
National Guard quartered in Camp
Mckinley in 1898. Permanent camp
grounds have now been purchased
and the camp will be an annual affair.
Governor Cummins will review the
troops next Monday morning. This
will be the most suspicious occasion
Of the encampment. The review will
be made the more attractive on ac-
count of the presence of four squad
rons Of cavalry from Fort Des Moines.
General Byers has refused to listen
to the request Of members Of the
guard for a sham battle.

Ample Accommodations at Reasonable

Ample Accommodations at Reasonable
Rates.
The alarming and altogether erron-
eous reports which have been circu-
lated from time to time regarding the
probable overcrowding Of visitors to
the Exposition and the lack of accom-
modations may be entirely discarded,
as the arrangements which have been
made in the Cascade City are such
as to provide good accommodations
and entertainment for all who come.
Chief among the prominent hostel
ries which have opened their Hospital
BILE doors is The Inside Inn, situated
actually within the grounds Of the Ex-
position itself and erected under the
supervision Of the Worlds Fair Man
agement. It is three stories in height,
is 400 feet wide. 500 feet long, and
contains 2,257 rooms in addition to it's
parlors and waiting-rooms and din
iing-room and restaurant, seating
$500. The Inside Inn is under the di-
rect management Of Mr.. 3. M. Statler,
the well-known caterer of Buffalo,
who maintains q high-class and uni
form cuisine and service for every one
Of his guests
The Inside Inn is run on both the
European and American plans at
rates ranging from $3.50 to $3.50 per
day, European and from $500 to
800, American, including admission
in both classes. The range of prices
being solely controlled by. the size and
location Of the rooms.
The advantages Of a large, comfort
able, and thoroughly equipped, home
like hotel right inside the grounds
will at once be obvious to all who re-
member the long, wearisome journeys
80 often entailed. both at the World s
Fair In Chicago and at Buffalo, by
those who lived some distance away
from the Exposition. No admission
fee other than the first one is needed
visitors being within the precincts OF
the Exposition all the time. They thus
save all loss of time, expenses OF
street cars, etc., and are able to de-
vote the whole Of their time to the
pleasures and enjoyments Of the Elk
position.
Reservations may be made for any
date and full details regarding the
many advantages of The Inside Inn
may be obtained by addressing pos
