the amazement, and often the disgust, Of

awful oaths her promise to marry him

compromising situations by her pretended
love for him, she deceived not only her

The butchers strike agreement refuses
to "stay put Each side tries to lay
the blame upon the. other, and 1t is not
easy for the outsider to know just where
it belongs. 1t appears, however, that if
the strikers in. Chicago had been able to
curb President Donnelly for few hours
this second period Of trouble might have
been avoided. His blunder seems to have
consisted in ordering the strike renewed
on insufficient grounds, or at least on
grounds that might have been removed
satisfactorily thru a conference ofsaH the
interested parties. Mr.. Donnelly's claim
was that the packers were not taking the
men back according to agreement. The
packers insist that they were faithfully
endeavoring to live up to that agreement,
and so it is quite believable that the things
| of which Mr.. Donnelly complains may have
been the result of over righteousness or
unfriendliness on the part of ignorant or
prejudiced superintendent. At least, there

have been strengthened if he had taken
the time required to find out. d

An interesting and gratifying fact in
connection with the war in the far east
is the comparative immunity of the troops,
from the dread disease scourges which de-
vastated the ranks of the American troops
in Cuba and in the Philippines Recent
Russian reports disclose that prior to the
opening Of the rainy season, June 26, the
number Of Russian officers incapacitated
by illness was slightly more than per.
cent of the total, and Of private soldiers
only 80 per cent Since the opening Of
the rainy season these percentages have
been slightly increased, that for the Of
ficers to s.4 and of the men to 4.6. This
showing is not only far better than Ameri-
can troops We're able to make in the
tropics, but it Is better than the British
troops could do in South Africa; in fact,
the present record of illness among the
troops of the far east is almost, If not
quite, the best that has ever been Of
icially reported. for that latitude. What
the japanese are doing in this respect is
not known definitely, but it is safe to
assume that their percentages Of illness
ARE even lower than those of the Russians,
owing to the fact that the Japanese are
| thoro!y acclimated. *

Russians abandoned and burned the

Port Arthur.
The estimates of the Russians en-
gagged in the defense of Kin Chow,
Nanshan hill and the south shore Of
Talienwan bay vary, but it Is evident
that the Russians drew for men from
the forces at Port Arthur and offered
all the resistance possible. 1t is un-
derstood that Lieutenant General Sto.

Must Retire Inside Port Arthur.

St Petersburg. May 30.-There is no
attempt here to disguise the fact that
the successful forcing Of the neck OF
kwan Tunk peninsula proper puts a
practical end to resistance to the enc
my until he reaches the actual fortifica-
tions around Port Arthur.
Although there are many strong po-
sitions in the more than twenty-five
miles before the perimeter of the fort
ress Is reached, the authorities admit
that the Russians can offer little resist
arce and must now retire within the
fortress and undertake to defend them
selves against siege.
Neither the admiralty nor the gen.
eral staff has any direct information.
Like the outside world. the admiralty
and general staff are dependent entire
ly upon the enemy for news. Native
reports which may be Of some value
are however, expected shortly.
While there is no disposition to ques-
tion the main facts sent out officially
from Toxic, some unofficial reports
from Japanese sources are being re-
ceived with caution. The impossibility
of holding the advance positions
around Kin Chow in the face of over
whelming odds has all along been ad-
niitted, but on account of the character
Of the position, as well as its defenses.
the general staff cannot but believe
that the defense must have been he
roic, and that the positions were only
taken by display of desperate courage
and at frightful cost.
The earlier news was received In a
calm spirit by both the public and the

ments. They succeeded in discovering
an opening in these obstacles and get
ting finally to within 200 metres OF the
Russian trenches, they rushed for the
line. Several successive charges were
made, but every officer and man in the
attacking prty was shot down twenty
or thirty metres from the line.
The charges were then stopped and
the Japanese artillery renewed its
preparatory fire on the enemy's posi-
ton. Towards evening a detachment
Of japanese carried section of the
Russian trenches. breaking through
the enemy's line. Hundreds of the
comrades of these men, inspired by
their success, sprang toward, and then
the entire Japanese line swept up the
bill, driving the Russians from their
positions. 1t was in the desperate in
fantry charges that the Japanese sus-
tained the bulk of their losses.

newspapers, but if the latest reports
that the Japanese captured fifty guns
il confirmed, it is sure that the effect
will be much deeper and is certain to
be considered severe blow Until
that report arrived the feeling was
that the Russians had resisted to the
limit of human endurance and had re-
tired in good order but if this number
Of guns was taken, it will put differ
ent complexion upon things, though it
is conceivable here that If the Japa-
nese operating fleet landed forces at
Sanshilipo and Talienwan and got in
the rear Of the Russian positions. the
abandonment of the guns might have
become necessary. This view, however.
will hardly diminish the extent of the
disaster

Assault Of Nanshan Hill.

Toxic, May 3O-The Japanese as
sault on Nanshan hill was one Of the
fercest and bloodiest affairs in mod
ern warfare. In the earlier rushes of
the engagement every man participat-
Ing was shot down before he reached
the first line Of Russian trenches.
1t was found necessary to stop these
infantry charges and renew the artil-
Iery fire from the rear before the final
and successful assault on the Russian
position could be made. The success
of this assault was brought about by
one detachment of Japanese troops
moro intrepid than their comrades,
who succeeded in piercing the Russian
line.
A splendid stroke of fortune was the
discovery and destruction by the jap
anese of tie electric wires leading to
the mines at the eastern foot of Nan
shan hill. This prevented the Russians
from exploding these mines when the
japanese infantry crossed the ground
where they had been placed. 1t Is pos
sible that the fortunes of the day
hinged upon these mines. If the Rus
slams had been able to explode them
at the right time, the losses among
the Japanese troops would have been
tremendous, and it is possible also that
the Russians would have been able to
hold the hill.
Nanshan was splendidly defended.
Nearly fifty guns of various sizes were
mounted on the various emplacements,
and there were also two batteries of
quick-firing field pieces ran with them
around the behind loophole trenches
on the terraces of the hill. The in
fantry manning the field pieces ran
with them around the hill, thus using
these guns for the protection of the
most important points.
The japanese began the fight by
bringing all their field guns into ac-
tion and concentrating their fire on
the emplacements on the hill. BY II
O'Clock in the morning the principal
Russian batteries had been silenced.
The two Russian field batteries then
withdrew to Nanquanling hill. and
from there continued to fire on the
Japanese until nightfall.
After the Russian batteries had been
silenced, the Japanese artillery opened
on the enemy's trenches. the Japanese
infantry advancing, meanwhile, to
within rifle range. The Jajanese grad
ually worked up to within 400 metres
