Major General Kashtalinsky reports
as follows:

circumstances of the grievous yet glo-
rious battle fought by the troops under
my command with the superior forces
of the japanese on May 1st.
Early on the morning Of April

ter the bombardment, in which over
1000 projectiles were discharged would
take the offensive.
'"'I received orders from Lieutenant
Gtneral Zassalitch to accept battle and
to retain my position at the forts of Po-
tietinslxy. My left flank was defended
by two battalions of the thirty-second
regiment, and the third battery Of the
sixth brigade.

3 o'clock in the morning, despatching at
least one division of infantry, which
advancing in column sustained enorm-

to the fire of thirty-six field guns and
siege batteries. The Japanese ad-
vanced and occupied the position.
IS Toward noon / ascertained that the
japanese had routed the battalion of
the twenty-second regiment posted at
Chin Cow and were turning my left
flank.
LAT 1 o'clock in the afternoon my
left flank was reinforced by two bat

battery commanded by Lieutenant
Colonel Moravsky, which were sent
from the reserve by General Zassalitch

Tokia, May 40 p. m.-The reports
which have been received here of the
successful blocking of the entrance to
Port Arthur harbor by the Japanese
coming On the heels of the news of the
victory on the Yalu, has caused great
demonstration and tonight thousands
of men carrying lanterns, swinging
high from bamboo poles, paraded
through the city. Half a dozen bands
of music led the various professions.
The Offices of the war and navy de-
partments and of the general staff
were the scenes of the greatest enthu-
siasm. Two imperial princes visited
the navy department and the assem-
bled crowd welcomed htme with cheers.
Then the throng demanded Admiral
Ito, Grief OF the general staff, and the
hero of the fight on the Yalu during the
Chinese war. He appeared in response
to the calls of the people and saluteo
the crowd.
It had been expected that tfdings of
the Port Arthur engage gement would
come from Vice Admiral Togo some
time during the day, but none were re-
ceived. The report which has reached
here from Europe that General Kuro-
patkin, the commander in chief of the

President Roosevelt's action in
the enforcement of existing law
stands in plain contrast to that of
Mr.. Cleveland, whose Attorney
General, Mr.. Olney, decided that
the same laws which President
Roosevelt has enforced were dead
letter and it was useless to bring
suits under them. President Roose-
welt did not find any further legisla-
ton necessary, but only "the dis
position and courage to enforce ex-
isting law" and he had both and
used them, and for that was covertly
accused by the Democratic mem

Lower Export Prices.

Our Democratic friends appear
to be worried over the fact that our
manufacturers sometimes meet for
eign competitors on their own
ground by cutting prices. There is
no denying that this Is some times
done, and there is no apology to
offer for doing 1t. Sometimes it is
for one reason, sometime for an
other. Here are a few given to the
Industrial Commission:
"Cash payments and large pur-
ceases in the foreign, trade, where
as the domestic trade is based on
credits and small purchases.
The drawback or rebate of the
Tariff on imported raw material of
goods manufactured for export.
"To overcome the Tariff of other
countries.
"To secure new markets.
"l'o hold market against new
competitors.
"To clear out surplus stock or to
prevent a shutdown and increased
cost of production, and keep mills
running and men employed.
ITO get rid of samples and out
of date goods.
Because the expense of selling
and advertising is less abroad than
at home"
Absolutely no one is injured, and
many are benefited. First, the
workman is benefited, because he
has more employment. If we ex-
port $500, 900, 900 worth of manu-
featured goods, no matter what the
selling price, the laborer gets about
S4so, 900. 900 of it. He gets it in
direct manufacture, IN transporta-
ton, in the making of tools and
machinery, the clerical work in
every process, coming and going,
first. last and all the time. The
farmer benefits, because he sells
more of his products right at home
at profitable price. The manufact-
urer benefits, because he disposes
of his surplus stock and gains oil
retains new foreign market. The
Tariff has nothing to do with it, ex.
cept that both Democratic and
Republican Tariff laws have pro-
vlded for rebate of go per cent Of
the duty on materials imported
which enter into manufacturers fol
export.
Just why the Democrats ano
Free-Traders object to our manu-
facturers building up foreign trade
it is hard to guess, unless they OBJ
Iiect to the American workingman
being constantly employed and vel
paid. They. will hardly win votes
for their candidate on this issue.
