morning, one of the infreQuent editorial
articles dealing with official denial by
the Japanese government of the reports

The article says:
"A simple denial Is not exculpation We
do not deny that our wounded are well
treated at Sasebo and other Japanese

operated under the eyes of Europe. but

CHASING FLEET.
Probability of General Attack With
Torpedoes.

Toxic, July 2.-210 A. M.-There is a
probability that Vice Admiral kami-
mura sighted the Vladivostok squadron,
last night, and that general attack
with tOrpedOes followed.
1t is known that kamimura was pur-
suing. the Russians, and a cannOnade
was heard. Kamimura has not yet re-
ported to Toxic and word from him is
awaited with keen eagerneSs.
The exact movements of the Rus
slams are not known. 1t is thought
Kamimura pressed the Russians into
the Tsu islands. in the straits of Co
rea, and that the Russians ran east and
then north i'm an effort to escape. kami-
mura's scouts discovered the Russians,
yesterday afternoon. trailed them and
reported the Russians presence. At
80 i'm the evening, the latter were seen
between the Xxi and Tsu islands.
Cannonading was heard farther north
The navy department expresses the be-
lief that Kamimura sent his torpedo
boats against the Russians during the
night.
The object of the recent Russian ma
val movements is not clearly under
stood here. 1t Is suspected that both
Russian squadrons hope to seek refuge
in a neutral port Of China and claim
protection. kaichou. Chez Foo and
even Weihaiwei are mentioned as their
possible destination.
The japanese contend that the Rus
SLAMS are not entitled to neutral pro-
lection under the circumstances. They
deny the case similar to that of the
Russian gunboat Mandjur. which was
at Shanghai when hOstilities COM
menced. The entry of the Russian
warships into either Kaichou or Wei
haiwei would prove embarrassing to the
governments controlling these ports.

been learned here that a big battle was
fought on land near Port Arthur, on
June rs and June q. The Japanese
were successful and on the morning of
the 2Sth they occupied certain heights
within 10 miles of Port Arthur.
The first Japanese division. which
suffered so heavily at the battle of
Nanshan Hill and the 18th division
fresh from Japan were engaged. The
japanese losses have not been learned.
but the Russians are said to have suf-
fered very heavily.
Refugees who left Port Arthur. yes
terday. and who have arrived here.
declare that wounded Russians were
being brought in by the hundreds.
Other refugees from Pigeon bay as
sert that hundreds of wounded Rus
sian soldiers were passing near the
bay, being transported in numerous
and various kinds of conveyances. The
fact that the Russian wounded were
seen at Pigeon bay. which is due west
Of Port Arthur, would indicate that the
Japanese have advanced along the east
and west coasts of the peninsula at the
same time.
The two divisions which attacked
Port Arthur were composed of 10000
men and an Independent artillery corps.
AS a matter Of precautiOn the Jap
anese have landed a division of 10000
men on one Of the Elliott group of is

The nation would not have enjoyed
these vast markets but for the United
State supreme court. In the federal
constitution were two clauses of far
reaching Importance granting
congress exclusive right to regulate
commerce between the states, and be-
tween any state and any foreign coun-
try; the other forbidding any state to
impose any duty or restriction upon its
imports or exports. When, therefore,
an attempt was made, in 1920. TO en-
force law passed by the state OF New
York, comforting upon Livingston and
Fulton the exclusive. right to navigate
with steamboats, the waters of that
state, the constitutionality of the law
was called into question, and, in 1924,
the federal supreme court, through
Justice Marshall, declared the New
York law invalid. That decision made
American commerce free, made the
United States nation.
