Before the end of the current week

The Russians in Port Arthur have

Not only have mines been anchored
off the harbor entrance, but junks
have been sent out under cover of the

GOLD GOES TO EUROPE.

Wall street has been so greatly daz-
that it is not quite able to make up it's
mind how soon the movement will ease
up Good authorities think the outflow
is nearly over, but the same people
were not long ago estimating a loss
of only $35,000,000 altogether. Thus
far more than $55 100000 has gone and
the probable limit is now raised to
S75,000,000. Jacob H. Schiff's admis-
sion that all of the money received
from the sale of $25,000000 Japanese
to Europe, makes it clear that there is
a strong pressure for gold on the other
side for some reason or another. In
directly, Russias $160,000,000 war loan
is the cause of our heavy export of
gold. France took the largest part of
the Russian bonds and called in many
of her credits from London. Rather
than stand such drain London gave
orders to draw on New York-since we
owe London largely and must settle
many Va thCoC ODii6obiOho lO-
quired. 1t is probable that bankers
will soon resort to the old expedient of
selling their sterling bills against COM
mercial bills which they expect to come
in in volume early in the autumn.
These bills usually run for 90 days and
they can be extended at maturity if
desired.
1t is mystery to many people why
money rates have not materially hard
ened, with such an outflow of funds to
Europe. The explanation is simple.
There is a hoard of idle money which
has temporarily been withdrawn from
business channels, while a vast
amount which goes into stocks, for
margin purposes, during times of ac-
tivity in the market, is now unemploy.

RECORD RUN FOR A WARSHIP.
BattIeship Kentucky, v. S. NJ, Bears
Proud Title.

The battleship Kentucky anchored
off 'Tompkinsville, N. Y, after having
made the worlds record run for a
warship from Hongkong and Madeira
to New York. The total distance
steamed was 1859 miles from Hong
kong, at an average of 1907 knots.
The last run of 1900 miles from Ma
deira to New York was made at an
average speed of 1873 knots. The
whole distance was made under nat
ural draft. The Kentucky has been in
commission a little more than four
years and her first run was out to the
China station. She has been the flag
ship for three years and has flown
the flag of Rear Admiral Evans for
more than two years. She left Ma
Mia on March 10, locked at Hongkong
on March Is, and sailed for home on

M. Nisard, French ambassador to
the vatican, acting under instruction
from Paris, has left Rome for an I'M
limited vacation, as a protest against
what France regards as the indicate
attitude of the vatican in compiling
two different notes concerning the
visit Of President Loubet to Rome.
The pope is greatly worried over
the conflict between the vatican and
France. Today his holiness suspend
ed public conferences and conferred at
length with the papel secretary of
state, Cardinal Merry Del Val.
Among the cardinals there is con-
siderable feeling against the papel Sec
rotary, and condemnation is expressed
of the way in which he has brought
about an almost official rupture with
France.

have been recovered. They are:

1t is feared there have been other
casualties, as a number of persons are

The dead were asleep in bed when

Rain had been falling for "a hours
when the cloudburst occurred at four
o'clock. Grow creek had been running
bank full, and wnen the cloudburst
took place a wall of water six feet
high came down the valley, sweeping
ranch buildings, fences, corrals, hay
stacks and other movable articles in
its path. Five hundred people living
in the lowlands along the creek in
West Cheyenne we're given no warn
ing whatever, until the wall of water
was upon them. Many had retired
for the night and fed without their
clothing. A general alarm was sound
ed, and hundreds of rescuers on horses
and in boats were soon at work. In
South Cheyenne 200 people live in the
flooded district, and a number are
missing.
Serious washouts have occurred
south, east and west of Cheyenne, and
traffic on the Union Pacific is seriously
impeded. Telegraph and telephone
lines are also down. The rainstorm
was the worst known in many years.

tied to Him.
The Portland Oregonian publishes
the following account of the swim
ming OF the Bagbag by General Fun
ston, at Calumpit, Philippine islands.
April 26, 1899, and the swimming of
the Rio Grande the day following by
two soldiers of the Kansas regiment.
1t is probably the first time that the
correct version has ever been pub
lished.
"A body of some 1000 Filipinos, who
were on the far side of the Rio Grande,
had been harrassing the American
forces. On April 26, 1899, General
Funston, accompanied by skirmish
party. swan the Bagbag, small slug
gish stream about 100 feet wide which
is tributary to the Rio Grande. This
account has been confused with and
magnified into the swimming of the
Rio Grande the following day, April
81, by two soldiers from the Kansas
regiment, which preceded the routing
of 1000 Filipinos by the American
soldiers. These two soldiers carried
line with them, with which they drew
across heavier one. To the latter a
raft was fastened and drawn across.
When As soldier and General Funston
had been ferried over the detachment
routed the Filipinos.
General Funston concluded: ut is
true, swan the Bagbag, but this was
Of no Importance. The swimming of
the Rio Grande by the Kansas men
was an entirely different event. The
Rio Grande is stream fully half a
mile wide. with a current running sew
en- knots an hour, and to have swan it
would have been a physical impossi-
bility for me. The whole trouble was
occasioned, | suppose, by confusing the
two streams and the proximity Of the
events. l am glad to present the facts
as they are and clear the matter up"

BIG BATTLE EXPECTED SOON
JAPANESE PREPARE TO ATTACK
THE ENEMY.
Third Army Will Soon Be in Touch

verely Harass Japanese Lines of
Communication in Skirmishes-
Hard Job for General Oku.

On board Steamer Hainum, at Sea,
by De Forrest Wireless Telegraph to
Weihaiwei. May 24.-While the Jap
anese commanders are still enforcing
their orders that no vessel equipped
with wireless apparatus shall be per
mitted to enter the zone of operations,
we have been able to search the coast
and secure an exact statement Of the
conditions which prevail in the Japan
csc camps. General Kuroki is still at
Fengwancheng, where he has found it
necessary to hold his column until the
division is prepared for the advance
across the mountains upon the Russian
position at Liaoyang. In the meantime
the third army is being landed and will
advance northward along the coast to
selected objective point, where 1t
will be able to cooperate with General
Kuroki in his advance against the Rus
sian position.
The Japanese lines of communica-
ton have suffered severely during the
past week, owing to the aggressive
ness of several bands of Cossacks, who
have attacked the escorting parties
which have been moving supplies from
the Yalu to Fengwancheng, and as a
result, practically an entire army corps
has been landed at Antung and sent to
occupy the Pel1in road, along which
the Japanese supplies are being moved.
The Russian columns which are upon
General Kuroki's front are keeping his
outposts busy and both sides suffered
severely from the constant "sniping"
between the pickets.
During the past week there have
been several heavy falls of rain, which
have rendered the country in front
of the Japanese position very swampy
and there has therefore been quite a
little sickness in the Japanese ranks.
Hard Tack at Port Arthur.
Baron Oku's army showed but little
success, because it has encountered
very desperate resistance from the
Russian columns which are operating
north of Port Arthur in an endeavor
to prevent the Japanese capturing that
stronghold. General Baron Okus d.
visions are planted across the narrow
est part of the peninsula and are SLOW
ly moving southwark toward Port
Arthur. They will have much difficulty
in taking the fortress, as all Of the
Russian ships that are not seaworthy
have been mounted on the land side
of town and will be used to resist the
general attack of the Japanese. While
the ultimate fate of the fortress is not
hard to foresee, it will not be taken
without great loss and the movement
to reduce it is sure to cost the Japan
csc an enormous number of men.
