RUSSIAN OFFICIAL VIEWS.
The Japanese Are Complimented for
 Excellent Strategy.

St. Petersburg, May 2S.-The news contained in a dispatch to the emperor from General Kuropatkin, under date of May 2, is all that was officially given out tonight. While the dispatch was brief and bald, it is considered extremely significant.
 The fact that the Japanese com menced their advance along the main Liao Yang road immediately after they had forced the neck of the Liao Tung peninsula and cut off Major General Fock from any cooperation with the Russians in the north shows a thor ough understanding between Japanese commanders.
 The authorities here believe that the advance from Feng Wang Cheng has only been suspended pending elimina- tion of Fock's force, and they expect that the advance upon Liao Yang will now be pushed in earnest. It is evi- dent that continual shifting of and skirmishing by advanced posts of Jap anese around Feng Wang Cheng has been merely successful in masking the real force, consisting of the third army, which is moving north from Takushan. It is expected that this force will be hurled on Liao Yang while the southern Japanese force is busy before Port Arthur.
 The fact that there is almost com plete suspension of press messages from Russian correspondents at the front is taken to indicate that inde- pendent movements are pending.

JAPANESE sHIMoSE POWDER
The Most Terrific of Explosives, the
 Secret of the Brown Men.

Washington, May 2S.-Reports re- ceived here from the far east dwell at length upon the terrific power of the Japanese shimose powder, the nature of which is an absolute secret. It is not used to propel the shot, but for bursting charges of the army and navy explosive shell. The result of these ex- plosions have astounded the United States army observers. The heaviest armor piercing shell with its small cavity, is rent into countless thousands of sharp fragments which are hurled through the air with such force that they tear through the sides of an iron ship as would a projectile from a ma chine gun. The Russian warships Variag and Korietz were found to be riddled deck and sides by fragments of these shells. It is not known that any other nation possesses such terrific ex- plosives.

serious loss to the insurance associa- ton. This evening the board of trus- tees of the brotherhood met to canvass the field for a suitable man to be given the insurance secretaryship. The result of this canvass will be made public On Monday forenoon when the convention will be asked to indorse the choice Of tka trustees.
 First Chief Premier became a member of the brotherhood in 1879 at Toronto, Canada. For the past twenty-four years he has held office, either in sub divisions or in grand divisions, and was elected to the insurance secretaryship in 1896.
 The event of the afternoon executive session was the election of Grand Chief Stone to succeed himself by vote that was a surprise even to the most san guine of his friends. But one ballot was necessary for choice. Chief Stone re- ceived 43O votes, Matt Shay 107 and C. w. Gardner Al. The rest were scat tered. When the result was made known the convention went wild.
 The concluding hours of the cOnven- ton were occupied by the casting of an informal ballot for first assistant chief. There were nearly forty aspirants in the running. The informal ballot re- suited in placing in the fore C. P. Cur tis, F. A. Burgiss, E. W. Hurley M. w. Cadle, H. E. Willis and Peter Kilduff.

OFFICIAL DETAILS.

WashingtonJ May 2S.-The Japanese legation this afternoon received this official dispatch:
 Tokio, May 2S.-The following are further details of the attack on Kin Chou:
 The attack on the enemy at Nanshan Hill commenced at 2:35 a. m. of the 18th. The enemys defensive works were almost of a permanent nature and their artillery consisted of fifty guns of various calibres and two quick firing field artillery companies.
 Their infantry ranged in two or three lines in covered trenches at loopholes and played machine guns on important points and offered stubborn resistance. We ranged all our field guns upon the forts and the enemy's principal artil- lery, and silenced eleven of them while the quick firers had previously retired to Nan Kwang Ku. Firing until night, our artillery concentrated it's fire upon the enemy's trenches and our infantry forces advanced to within four or five hundred metres of the en- emy's position. but wire entanglements and mines laid before us, and the en- emy's infantry and machine guns. which yet remained una abated, kept up. Finally, our infantry approached to within 200 metres from the enemy's position and tried several charges, but they still proved unsuccessful, of ficers and men all falling within twen- ty or thirty metres from the enemy's position. Thereupon our artillery be- gan heavy firing and in the evening during the severest cannonading the last charge was made and a breach was opened iwth great difficulty through which we gained the whole heights, expelled the enemy and cap tured all the guns on the forts.
 "One of the fortunate incidents in the attack was the discovery of a mine wire at the eastern foot of Nan Shan hill. the. cutting Of which prevented heavy loss"

COOPERATION
AMONG FARMERS

Farmers are learning that cooper
alton where properly conducted is the
most economical method of doing
their buying and selling. Just now
the farmers of the west are forming
combinations to bring low grade
whea from Canada by the trainload,
for feeding purposes. There is a
vast amount of wheat in that section
not fit for milling, and at the price
at which it can be bought will give
the farmers of the west a cheap feed.
Cooperation has scattered almost
a hundred farmers grain elevators
throughout the west and united them
as one association. 1t has helped the
farmers to solve the problems of dis
posing of the dairy products by
means of the cooperative, creamery,
and cooperation in buying feeds
should be very profitable.
