l.. ii. Gibson, Of Columbus, better
known in this locality as ex-mayor OF
GAINESVILLE, was in Canton yesterday
looking up information along the
Hearst-Parker lines as the basis OF a
story for the Columbus Press Post.
Mr.. Gibson is an ardent Hearst man
and the general impression among the
local politicians is that he was here
to do a little missionary work among
the doubtful delegates IL he could.
When interviewed by Morning
News representative, Mr. Gibson, true
to his newspaper training, began ask
ing questions instead of answering
them. He had just come into the town
and met few OF the Hearst people
and the way he sized up the situation
was that the contest was a pretty
even one, both as to state and congres.

JUST AS PLANNED.
Toxic, May 3.--(London Times )--As
the details of Sundays battle and the
manoeuvres that preceded 1t come to
hand 1t is plain that the plans of the
Japanese general staff were followed to
the minutest details. The main at
tack was made by the Japanese right
wing which consisted Of the Twelfth
division. 1t crossed the Yalu thirteen
miles above Wiju at Suku-Chin, the
same point where the passage of the
river was negotiated by the Japanese
army Of invasion in 1894. The guards
division, constituting the center and
the second division, forming the left
wing crossed respectively to the Is
lands above and below Wiju. These
were feigned advances designed to
cover the main movement, and were to
be continued in the event of the sue
cess of the contemplated advance.
Opposite Suku-C Chin lies Husnan Is
land in the center of which is an en-
irence called Tigers Hill which com
, mands both sides of the river. The
Twelfth division, having effected lodg.
ment on this island on April 20. II
drove the enemy from the banks and
crossed the main channel Of the river
the next day. Meanwhile the guards
and the second division also crossed
their lines extending nearly to An
tung with the reserves in the center oi
the main road.

left near Antung and the right oppo'
site Mako. When the advance was
ordered, the Twelfth division, wadini
the river with, the water waist deep
rushed the enemy's entrenchments, n!
timately swinging round toward Kiu
Leng- Cheng, while the guards and thu
second division converged near thu
same point. Thereupon the Russians
retired before the fierce japanese at
tack which was directed from the thre'
points.

shang Hail. May 3.--Dispatches from
Manchurian territory state that the
Russian forces are in state of alarm.
believing that now the Japanese have
secured foothold in Manchuria, the
landing ON the coast will not be fur
tner delayed. 1t is stated that the
Russian garrisons at Chang -Chu. Fu-
chan and Hai-Cheng have been warned
to redouble their vigilance as the third
Japanese army Is declared to be in
transports hovering of the coast and
guarded by a detachment Of Admiral
T0go's fleet awaiting the signal to
land and cooperate with General Ku-
roki's men who are advancing on

One of the results OF the japanese
occupation of Antung will be. the i'm
mediate opening Of the United States
consulate at Antung. Mr.. Davidson,
the accredited representative of the
United States, who has been here for
some weeks because the Russian Off
cials refused to grant him permission
to proceed to his post, will leave here
at once for the town captured on Sun
day by the Japanese.
The Chinese government has signi-
fed its intention of at once placing
at Mr.. Davidson's disposal such p.-.A-
ings as are necessary and the Japan
ese officials are stated to have an
nounced that they will place no OBJ
stacle in the way OF the American, pro-
ceeding to Antung.
The Chinese are highly elated at the
sweeping victory Of the Japanese and
are already rejoicing over the expected
occupation Of all OF southern Mancnu-
ria by the mikado's troops. II is open
ly asserted that the Russians will be
unable to stop the onward rush of the
Japanese until Liao-Yang is reached
and that the occupation Of that point
means the destruction Of the Manchu

Some OF the geological conditions arc
best told IN report made recently by
Manager q, d, b. Turner, who Is a mlh.
ing engineer OF wide experience. The

this vein Is exposed by the surface culs
along the contact and Is clearly defined
within the Limits Of the West Quincy
property.
The Gaping OF the lime lying above
this contact vein Is cut By numerous
assures which dip OF about 10 degrees
I'm an easterly direction, with a strike
OF little east Of north and west OF
south. These assures cut directly
through the contact vein and seldom
carry ore as far as developed above ana
below the contact, although the Quincy
assure Is an exception to this rule.
which carries high grade values from
the surface down as far as the contact
but is apparently barren below. which
shows clearly that the contact vein Is
the productive vein and carries with IL
the ore bodies and an the rights. this
IS clearly shown In the development OF
the Daly-West,
Where the assures intersect the con-
tact, large ore bodies are found lying
on the contact yein and extending very
continuously In well defined chutes OF
ore from the sOO-foot level Of the Daly-
West upwards as far as developed to-
wards the surface, or the dip Of con-
tact and IN a southerly direction In ex-
tensiyc chutcs Of ore approaching the
West quincy.
Other veins have been disclosed lying
parallel with and underlying the con-
tact and are proving equally as pro-
ductiye and carrying the same general
character OF ore, galena, with high
grade values Of silver and considerable
