Seoul, Korea, May 25.-A telegram
has been received here from Gensan,

the Russians, after the engagement

on May 10, burned the shrines and the
royal mausoleum which were erected
there by the founder Of the present
Korean dynasty in the year 1854, and
which was regarded by the Koreans
as sacred. This apparent wanton de-
struction of tombs in land imbued
with the spirit of ancestral worship
has caused excited denunciation of the
Russians on the part Of the Seoul off,
cials. Ham Heung is on the coast of
Korea, about SO miles north of Gen.

to be at Kyong Song have, according to
Korean reports, about 20 guns with
them. If this is true this artiller prob

The Astorian last night ana made the
following statement:
In most particulars, the Budgets
attack upon these men is wholly false.
In ever particular, it is uncalled for.
These California fishermen, who may
with equal reason be called Columbia

fishers on this river, and the packers
regard them as such.
The statement is made that the men
do not bring their nets with them. This
Is incorrect, for their gear always ac-

understand why the insinuation should
be made that the men steal nets here

Enjoy Using Herpicide ON Account Of
Its DIstInctiveneaa.

The ladies' who have used Newbro'a
Herpicide speak Of It in the highest
terms, for It's quick effect in cleansing
the scalp Of dandruff and also for its ex-
cellence as general hair-dressing It
makes the scalp feel fresh and It allays
that itching which dandruff will cause.
Newbro's Herpiclde effectively cures
dandruf, as II destroys the germ that
causes It. The same germ causes hair to
fall out, and later badness; in killing It.,
Herpicide stops falling hair and prevents
badness. II Is also an ideal hair dress
ing, for It lends an aristocratlc charm to
the hair that Is quite distinctive. Sold
