Victory on Land More Than Outweigh,
Russian Success at Sea.

ItuoSldn success at SSa.
london, June 17-General Kuropltkin
moved to the south only to march TO dis
aster. Admiral Skrydloff's daring raid
into the Straits of Korea resulted in two
large transports being Intercepted and
%torpedoed by the Nladivostok squadron,
with the loss of at least 1000 japanese
troops, but this bold stroke in its influence
upon the war is as chaff, in the scale by
comparison With the Russian catastrophe
on land.
Such in brief is the view taken here OF
the latest events in the far east.
The Daily Mail, however, points OFT that
as yet the Japanese success on land has.
not gone to the extent Of surrounding and
destroying General Stakelberg's AMY. as.
many British observers had confidently
expected. After two days hard fight
ing" 1t says. in which the force engaged
on the Japanese side appears to have been
about three divisions of over 5000 men,
which the japanese describe as two di-
visions strong. and which should there
fore ave numbered between 900 anG
1000 men, has been dislodged from a.
strong position on the Port Arthur rail-
way in the neighborhood of Wa Fang
Tien. AS at the Yalu and Kin Chou the
| Japanese made a considerable capture OF
Russian artillery. Fourteen guns in all
| were taken and II the japanese cavalry
had been stronger the defeated army must
have lost far more heavily in guns and,
prisoners. since 1t appears from the jap
tnese report to have retreated ia some
confusion.
Only a Partial Victory.
1.-The japanese success was only a par
tial victory. not humiliation, because the
flank turned by the Japanese troops was
the Russia right and not the left. which
would have cut off Stakelberg's retreat.

make an Immediate van so as to come
In upon the Russian line of retreat and.

next few hours will show whether such,

When Governor Cnmmln


When Governor Cummins presented his
tariff views in the Iowa delegation a
Gus, he was followed by Geo. M, Curtis of
Clinton and Colonel Geo. w. French of
Davenport, who supported his views.
j. w. Blythe spoke against the resolu-
ton, pointing out that such action would
place the low republicans in an undesir-
able position before the national conven.
ton. and claiming that the state con
Ventlon had settled that Question. Dele
gates Clark aud Waterman followed in
the same View.
Then Senator Dolliver made a speech. in
which he said: The TIM has come for
Iowa republicans, and particularly the
delegates to the convention on the TIRES
hold of a presidential cam align, to cease
strife and to quit clubbing over matters,
over difference. The propcr thing to do is
TO cast aside questions upon which diff
fererces of opinion exist and to get TO-
gether on the great mass of issues upon
which there is entire agreement. and to
present the strongest front To the oppose

Senator Dolliver was disposed to mini
mize the Importance of his speech, but
those who heard it characterize it as
'forceful and direct, although In perfect
good humor. In fact. the utmost cordial
lily prevailed throughout the caucus. Gov
ernor Cummins replied briefly. urging the
r~easonableness of his resolution and that
they had ample Justification.
The recorded vote was not taken, but
a vlva voce vote only. Governor Cum

iton. TIL remaining delegates voted

was in the Morse residence. Catheron
and two Sons, A. G. and r. S. Catheron,
Harvard students, hurried to the scene,
taking three rifles with them. They
observed light on the lower floor, and
when they reached the grounds they saw
a large man busy IN the rooms, collecting
silverware and other articles.
4 guard was placed at the doors and
windows, and as soon as the burglar APP
peared outside, rifles were pointed at
him and he was ordered to surrender.
The burglar dropped the bundle which
he had brought from the house and at
