effort was made to bring Senator Cor

combination that would place some
one besides Taggart at the head of
the committee Almost continuous con-
ferences were held, intimatiOns of great
financial advantages to the party were
made. and many expedients were sug-
gested. even to delaying the election

Japs Occupy Ia Tche kiao.

st. Petersburg, July 2S.-The report
of General Zaroubaieff furnishes the
first detailed account received here of
the battle of July "a and leading up to
the evacuation of Ia Tche Kiao. the
fruits of which are already apparent
in the Japanese occupation of New
Chwang.
The Russian loss is estimated at 20
officers and 600 men. and the Japanese
losses, also estimated. as greater than
ours" This probably is correct. in view
of the fact that the Japanese occupied
the attacking positions.
A telegram from General Kuropatkin
says that japanese division had
moved on Haicheng.
