ported that battle is raging near Tsushhma Island.

against the possibility of the junction of the Port Arthur and the Vladi-
vostok fleets. and it is a portion or the whole of this squadron that is now
engaged. ~.

pense OF maintaining the state troops
during the coal mine strike In Carbon
county. The loan will be at per cent
interest secured by the states note

for the money. A little over Sll 900 has
been paid the troops from the National
Guard fund, which practically uses 1t
up, and $4,000 is still due the soldiers.
So the Governor Is borrowing $4,000 10
square up with the troops and re-
turn the money borrowed from the
National Guard fund, This Is consd-
cred a good thing for the state, as II
saves on the interest, obviates calling
special meeting Of the Legislature
and replenishes the military fund. The
note runs until the next session OF the
Legislature provides for taking II up
The governor had no difficulty in secur-
ing the loan, as the credit OF the state
is high in eastern money markets
Most of the militia have been paid
for the first 20 days Of their service, the
pay after that being according to the
REGULAR army schedule, The governor
will make a special report on the strike
