Desperate Battle in Progress.

ST. Petersburg, Aug. AT last the
to be in progress. Having completed
his enveloping movement of the Rus
sian position, General Kuroki has Or
dered simultaneously an advance from
all points against Hal Cheng and Lao
Yang Fighting is raging on both
fronts and still continues.
According to Kuropatkin's official
dispatch to the Emperor, the battle be-
gan for the possession of the import
ant position at Simoucheng, which is
located at the juncture of the Feng
Wang Cheng and Siuyen roads. Two
separate armies were launched from
the east above the two roads, while
third, under General Oku, moved up
east of the railroad from Ia Tche Kiao
to try to cut off the Russian force there
from Hal Cheng.

at the same time advanced against
General Count keller's position at
Ikhavuen. east of Lao Yang. trying
the favorite Japanese plan of out
thanking him on the right Still fur
Their north, on the Saimatsza-Liao
Yang road, the Japanese moved for
ward against Houtsiatse. twenty-five
miles from Lao Yang. At all points
the japanese employed artillery to the
best advantage.
General Kuropatkin's situation will
be desperate in the event of his de-
feat. The keenest anxiety is felt at
the war Office for news of the progress
Of the battle.
The general staff seems utterly
dumbfounded at the number of men
the Japanese possess and consequently
kurOpatkin's statement that they are
landing another heavy force at the
port of New Chwang adds to the solicit
tude.

VIadivostok Fleet Returns.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 3.-The news
of the return of the Vladivostok cruis-
ers from their third successful raid
has ncticeably lessened the feeling Of
dependency created by General Ku-
ropatkin's telegram to the Emperor ad-
hitting the necessity of his retreat.
Vice Admiral Skrydloff's report of the
cruise points out the utter inability
of the Japanese war ships to follow up
the three Russian cruisers. The Jap
anese were apparently unable to spare
a single effective ship to cope with
them. The few Anticipated vessels en-.
countered by Rear Admiral Jessen.
were unable TO give chase. and the
torpedo boats were shy in approaching
the Russians.
Admiral SkrvGloff's dispatch con
firms the detailed report of the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at Nladi-
vostok. which supplied the name of the
German steamer the sinking of which
was first announced in a telegram to
the Associated Press. 1t is presumed
that the Thea. although flying the
German flag. was chartered by an
American firm.
The Grit-advocate., 1904-08-05

st. Petersburg. Aug. 3.-The feeling
at the war Office here was distinctly
gloomy yesterday. Heavy fighting
continues on both the southern and
eastern fronts, the object of the Jap
anese in the east being to flank Cen
eral Keller's corps from the south and
north, which is easily possible. The
failure Of the garrison at Simouchen
to retreat along the northern road has
been due to the presence of
the Japanese column fanking the
late General Keller's corps from the
south. In view Of the inability of the
Russians to hold Simouchen it is con-
sidered unlikely that Generals Zarou-
baieff and Stakelberg will attempt to
offer stubborn resistance at Hal
Cheng. 1t Is possible that they are
already retiring on Anshanshan, half
way between Hal Cheng and Lao
Yang. There is reason to believe that
two Of Oku's divisions are advancing
from New Chwang on Hal Cheng
with the view of thanking and cutting
off General Stakelberg's retreat.
An interesting detail evidencing the
fierceness of the artillery duel south
Of Hal Cheng July 31st is the fact that
the Russian batteries on the left flank
fired 4.S42 shots in four hours.
All the military critics take the view
that the decisive moment of the cam,
paign has arrived.

renee by the whole world. Even more
frshtful has been his connection with
the destruction of the liberties of Fin.

tiers is more highly developed than in
any part of the empire.
"Other things done by him were also
calculated to bring more bitter hatred
against him.
He attempted to help his cause by
a defense of his conduct toward Fin
land, which was published in an Ameri-
can magazine. But it must certainly
have failed to convince any thinking
man at all aware of their circum-
stances.

Gen. Keller Killed.

St. Petersburg. Aug. 2.-Lieutenant
General Keller was killed by a frag-
ment of Japanese shell July 18th,
while resisting the preliminary attack
of General kurOki's army on the
Yantse pass. thirty miles east of Lao
Yang. The general was standing near
a battery which was subjected to a ter
rife fire, when shell burst close to
him. and he fell, mortally wounded. dy-
ing twenty minutes later. Before he
expired General Keller had the salts
faction of knowing that the japanese
attack had been repealed.
General Keller was the first high
Russian military commander to lose
his life in this war. He resigned the
high and lucrative post of governor OF
Ekaterinoslaff to go to the front, and
exchanged with General Zasalitch, who
may now resume the command of the
First Siberian army corps.
The loss of General Keller is deeply
felt in court circles. He was personal
favorite of the Emperor. His sister
Countess kleimmicha, is one OF the
leaders of St. Petersburg society.
Lieutenant General Count Keller. al
the opening of the war, was in com
mand of the Second Siberian army di-
vision. He was fifty-four years of age
General Keller took part in the three
campaigns of the Russo-Turkish war
In 1887 he commanded the imperial
rifle regiment, and later was director
of the corps of imperial pages, by
which General Keller came in contact
with the members of the imperial fam
lily, with whom he was in great favor
General Keller was considered the
possessor Of cool judgment and to be a
fine strategist. Though strict dis
ciplinarian, he was a kind and careful
officer and popular with his men. He
wore short, gray beard. had keen blue
eyes, and dressed in khaki. His only
decoration was the cross of the mill
tary order of st. George. which he wore
on the breast of his tunic.

RUSSIAN DEFEAT
ARMY STEADILY DRIVEN BACK
General kurokis Report Gives Details
Of Recent Actions-Capture Of
important Positions.

Toxic, Aug. General Kuroki has
administered a severe defeat to the
Russian forces which defended the
Russian east flank at Lao Yang. win
ming separate actions at Yushulikzu
and Yangse pass. These two places
are twenty-six miles apart. but the two
actions were fought at the same time.
The Russians held strong positions.
The thermometer registered over ITO
degrees Fahrenheit. and the soldiers
suffered cruelty from heat exhaustion.
At Yushulikzu the Russians had two
divisions of infantry and some artil-
lery, and they resisted the Japanese
assaults vigorously.
Both attacks were begun at dawn
Sunday July 3lst. At Yushulikzu the
Japanese carried the Russian right and
left wings, but on account of the
strength Of the main Russian position
they were unable then to press the at
tack. The two armies rested Sunday
night. facing each other.
At dawn Monday the Japanese re-
sumed the attack, and by noon they
had dislodged the enemy and driven
him four miles to Laoholing.
At Yangse pass also the Japanese
were successful. Their artillery opened
on the enemy, and the infantry moved
forward from MakumeZa. The attack
on this place was made at l o'clock
Sunday. and by nightfall the Japanese
were in possession OF majority OF
the Russian positions, although the
enemy had resisted with desperate
fighting.
The Japanese forces passed the
night in battle formation and another
assault was made Monday at dawn. By
8 o'clock Monday morning Yangse
pass and the surrounding heights had
been captured.
General Kuroki explains the slow
ness Of these actions by saying that
the difficult topography Of the battle
fields made it impossible to secure
good artillery positions, and that the
great heat fatigued his troops.
The Russian force at Yangse pass
was estimated at two and one-half d.
visions and four batteries of artillery.
The enemy retreated toward Tang
hoyen, pursued for four miles by the
Japanese The enemy fed toward
AupiDg.
General Kurok reports the capture
Of some field guns, but the number is
not given. The Japanese casualties
are being investigated.
The YanSse pass is situated thirty
miles east Of Lao Yang. The Russian
army engaged there is generally
know as the Eastern army. and was
commanded by the late Lieutenant
General Count Keller, who was killed
by the explosion of a shell.
YushulikZu is four miles west of
Hsihoyen, at the juncture of the Feng
Wang Chen-Siuyen roads. where the
Russian forces have apparently sus.
tanned defeat.

physician who has a limited practice

idea was to fool his neighbors into the
belief that he was overrun with bust
ness. This he attempted to do by in
ducing all the charity patients he treat

connected to come to his office. telling
them il would be convenience for
him and that it would cost them moth
ing. But the result was not all he an
ticipated While his office was al
ways crowded. the number of his pay
ing patients did not, increase, and at

twelve children of Israel We're en-
graved: The sardius. the topaz, the car
huncie. the emerald. the sapphire, the
diamond. the figure. the agate, the
amethyst, beryl, onyx and jasper. In

mention of the engraving of signets
upon the hardest stones. 1t is believed
that the Egyptians instructed the Is
raelites in the art Of stone engraving.
The Egyptians used the lapidary' s
wheel and emery powder and knew the
use of the diamond in engraving other
hard stones. Among the Assyrian and
Baby lonian ruins were found fine spec
linens of signets on gems, many of
them set in rings.

AS soon as a laundry package comes
In 1t must be opened, the contents
counted and each article marked. Ey.
cry patron is given private mark,
some combination of letters and fig

The garments are now ready to be sent
down into the wash room.
1t is interesting to follow the soiied
garments through the different process
es that transform them to the state of
crisp whitencss. They are first packed

after which the clothes are packed into
the condenser and are sent up to go
through the process of starching.
The opening of the drier emits
wave of hot air and discloses rows of
articles hung before hot steam pipes.
| There seem to be machines for every

and collars. cuffs and neckbands of
shirts.
The girls must be more or less skilled
in running these polishers. The shirts
are stretched over a kind Of bosom
| board, and the hot roller passes over
them. The power is regulated by the
foot. In the large laundries there are
machines for ironing the bodies of
shirts and such plain garments. but in
many this work and. in fact, nearly all
but the polishing is done by hand. The
shirts are then carefully folded and
