NO BOMBARDMENT
OF NIEU-CHWANG

NIEU-CHwANG, April 26.-The Russian
authorities here deny that there has been
any important engagement recently on the
Yalu, but they report the destruction of a
few Japanese junks by the Russian volun-
teers. The report that this place was bonn
barded by japanese is false. The Japanese
have not arrived at the Yalu in force, ac-
cording to the Russians in Nieu-Chwang,
nor have they crossed the river at any
point. The Russian forces are still in pos
session of all points on the west, or Man

gun.

MORRISTOWN, Ind, April 26.-For the
first time in its history Morristown is af-
flicted with a large number of speak
easies'' and as a result more intoxicated
men are seen on the streets than were
ever known in the days of licensed saloons.
Last spring the Prohibitionists effected a
fusion with the Democrats, the outcome OF
which was that every office is filled by a
Democrat The provisions Of the Nicholson
law were taken advantage of to wipe out
the licensed saloons, in the wake of which
a large number of places have been opened
where liquor is sold without license and
with no attempt at suppression on the
part of the Democratic administration.
This condition has arou~ed a great amount
of dissatisfaction among the better class
of citizens.
