Details of the ROut.

Seoul, May ;. After fighting all day
Sunday on he Iaiu the Japanese army
on Monday morning started through
the mountains in pursuit of the enemy,
who numbered about iJ.000 men The
Russians have already sustained a
heavy loss in their precipitate retreat,
and are abandoning announcements and
baggage in the mountain passes. The
pursuit by The Japanese of the enemy
is so fierce and close that the latter
have no opportunity of covering their
retreat, which is rapidly assuming the
proportions of complete rout. Wher-
ever stand j. made by the Russians
the position is so hastily cOntrived and
50 badly established that us soon as the
Japanese appear the slaughter com
mences anew and the Russians aban-
don their position with great losses.
The Russians have lost more men on
this retreat than they did at the battle
of Kalum.

RAILROAD TO
CASA De PACA

Seattle. March l0.-A railroad from
Nome to the Casa de Paga river there
connecting with the Council City x
Solomon River railroad, will probably
be built the coming summer. Through
j. Warren Dickson, vice president and
general manager of the Western
Alaska Construction Company, such
announcement is made in Il letter to j.
d. Trenholme, of the Northwestern
Commercial Company. Mr.. Dickson
wrote from New York, under date of
Feb. %. In his letter he outlines what
the company purposes doing in the
way of railroad construction on the
Seward peninsula.
Mr.. Dickson states that the company
has all the material necessary for eX-
tending the line on from its present
terminus to Council, a distance of about
40 miles, on the ground. He points out
that the company will push the main
line to completion with all possible
haste. 1t is the purpose of the com
pany, he says, to transport freight and
passengers at the lowest possible rate
consistent with reasonable returns to
the company for the money invested.
The freight charge last year. following
the opening of the first division of the
line for business, he estimates, was but
one-fourth the cost of wagon trans

COAL May
BE CHEAP
RumOrS of War Between
Coal Dealers in Nome.
PACIFIC COAST co.
State That They Will Land $1,000
Tons in Nome This Year and
Force n. W. {. Co. Out.

News received from the outside in
the last mail points to a probable war
between coal dealers in Nome this
year. A San Francisco man writes Il
Nome citizen, under date of Feb 20,
that he had good company organized
to enter the coal business in Nome,
when the Pacific Coast Company served
notice upon him that that company
would land 1900 tons of coal in Nome
the present season in order to force the
Northwestern Commercial Company
out of that business.
The same writer states that the
whaler Beluga sailed for the Arctic on
Feb. %. and the other vessels of the
whaling fleet would follow in few
days, "full of hootch and enthusiasm.
as whalebone is now worth 81 cents
pound He adds: 1.-The indications
point to Nome as being pretty good
place TO be mixed up with this year.
Things look good. a big crowd is
going to go in and take in u great
amount of freight. | think twice as
much freight will be landed as was
sent in last year.
THE Pioneer Mining Company are
going to introduce oil everywhere, so
Lindeberg told me again today. J. w.
Kelly, think, will not return to Nome
this year. He is sick man. Dick
Dawson goes East today"

JAPANESE LOSS

NOR is current that the japanese
have sustained q heavy loss while at
tempting TO make II landing near the
mouth OF the Ialu river 1t is report
ed that they lost 700 men. but the gov
eminent is unable to confirm the re-
port.
Toxic, April %. -Interrogated as to
the loss of 1G0 men near the mouth of
the Yalu river in undertaking to make
Il landing. the war department denies
that it has heard anything of the en-
counter or that it could have occurred
without report having been received.
1t is suggested that the engagement of
several days ago south OF Win has been
exaggerated in passing through Rus
sian sources.
Paris, April %. - information is
reaching the highest quarters here
which tends to confirm the report that
a serious engagement has taken place
on the Yalu river, resulting in bad
reverse to the Japanese column.

The committee further recommended
that the fire and hospital funds be abol-

general fund.
A petition from Mrs. Lizzie Smith

The street committee reported Second

the Golden Gate in a very bad condition,
and thought the street should be grav-
eled from the Golden Gate to the YOko-
hama house: also that Hunter way be
planked from Front street as far as the
Yokohama house.
Brannen asked the chairman OF the
street committee in what way they in
tended to pay for the improvement OF
the streets.
City Attorney Schofeld suggested
that the council establish an improve
ment district. He thought each pro-
perty owner should be required to pay
taxes for the improvement in proper
ton to the frontage of their property.
Brannen said the costs should be as
sessed to the abutting property owners,
and thought the clerk should be in
structed to find out if the owners were
agreeable. The matter was finally re-
ferred to the city attorney and street
committee.
Stevens, as chairman of the law and
ordinance committee, suggested the
council should meet in day or SO and
informally talk over the license sched-
ule. Stevens admitted it was too much
for him, and he would like some help.
COPY moved that the matter of the
fire department be left over till next
Monday night.

worth $500, and was in favor of pur-
chasing it after it had been thoroughly
