JAPANESE FOUGHT
IN TWO DIVISIONS.

Toxic. July Il, s p. m.-The Japa-
nese Takushan army is moving north
west from Stu Yen. It fought series
of small battles with the Russians on
July and 10.
The army is divided into two col
umns, which advanced against the
Russians. When the first column ap-
preached Chi-Kuan-Ching the Rus
SLAMS retreated southwest through the
valley, but at o'clock in the evening
they took up position on the nights
west of Chou CHA Chang.
The Russians were dislodged at dusk,
when the second japanese column adj
vanced along the road toward Tong
CHS, repulsing small bodies of the en-
envy en- route. They attacked the ad-
vance line of the Russians near Stu
Tang Taku. The Russians were rein
forced and compelled the Japanese to
withdraw.
At dawn on July 10, both columns
attacked and dislodged the Russians at
Ni0uIC lllhou' AllSI d ucSpSl due A6II
the Japanese occupied the position.
After occupying Kai Chou Gen. Oku's
army on Sunday moved northward.
The Russians have strong defenses
at Taipingshan, Niusenihan, Hangma-
tai, Chinghishan and camps near Kuo
Criapao. Gen. Oku will probably at
tack these positions as soon as his
troops are rested.
In the fights of July and 9 the
japanese lost about $50 men. The
Russian losses are believed to have
been heavier than the Japanese.

Vice President one of our most dis
tinguished citizens and the foremost
Democrat in the state, but in this as
most everything else, the Democrats
made mistake. Senator Davis. to
whom / am so nearly related, and for
whom | cherish feelings of the high
est regard, admiration and affection,
is man of affairs and an experienced
statesman, having served his state
creditably in the Senate, for twelve
years. With these qualifications and
this fitness, he should have been named
for the first place, instead of man
without record and without business
or political experience.
West Virginia cannot be beguiled
into giving up protection and sound
money to make Judge Parker Presi-
dent, even if by so doing they make
Senator Davis Vice President. The
Democracy of West Virginia advocates
the astounding proposition. should it
come into power in the state, to dis
franchise $4,000 loyal colored Republic
cans and rob them of the rights of cit
izenship gus ranteed by the constitu-
ton and for which many of them and
their fathers fought in the war for the
Union.
Republicans must resist this propo-
sitlon because It is not only wrong in
itself, but unfair and unjust to a large
body of law-abiding, worthy and in
dustrious citizens.
West Virginia is a protection state
and, therefore, a Republican state the
interests of her people are on the side
of protection, and must remain so. We
cannot stand for free trade in our lead
ing products, for free iron and steel,
free wool. free coal and free lumber.
Free lumber would stop a thousand
sawmills in the state as it did under
the Wilson German tariff"

PRESS NOT PLEASED
by the Conclusion of an Agreement
with Germany.

by the Conclusion of an Agreement
with Germany.
London, July 1S.-The announcement
that an arbitration treaty between
Germany and Great Britain was sign
ed yesterday comes as a complete and
not altogether pleasant surprise to the
English press and public. 1t was
against such an agreement that the
Spectator and other powerful organs
urged the government prior to King
Edwards visit to Emperor William at
Kiel. BY the papers which echoed
that warning the news of the signing
of the arbitration treaty is swallowed
either with palpable dislike or with ILL.,
concealed disappointment.
The Daily Telegraph, undoubtedly
voicing the official opinion here, says:
"Bismarck's principle Of toujours en-
vedette will still remain a necessary
motto at Wilhelmstrasse, and it must
remain the vital idea under all cir
cumstances Of our own admiralty. But
every person of common sense must
rejoice in the elimination Of petty fric-
ton from the diplomatic intercourse OF
Great Britain and any other great
power. We should desire above all
things a similar arrangement with our
kindred, the United States, and there
is nothing in the world to prevent an
Identical agreement with Russia"

New York, July 12.-As soon as the
retail butchers in this city learned to-
day that strikes had been ordered in

which the union declined to do, and
called a strike to-day at all our plants.

but when we asked that this be made

Ocala, Fla, July 12.-The mystery of
the killing of William Ruth, the color
ed hackman, a few weeks ago, seems
to be on the point of clearing. Fred
Cook, who was arrested for the murder
of Isaiah Pitts, last week, has made a
confession, laying the blame for both
murders on Allen Love. There was
already evidence against Love in the
case of Ruth and he had been arrest
ed, but the testimony was not strong
enough to hold him. There is also evil
dence that Cook killed Pitts and the
authorities will hold both Cook and
Love. All the parties, slayers and slain,
are negroes.
