Rarren Victory for Japs.

ST Petersburg, June 11.-Descrloing
the fight. at Stu Yen. a correspondent Of
the Associated Press says the Russian
forces were south of the town guarding
the Stu Yen and Takushan road. The ar
tillery was strongly posted on hills along
the rpad from Stu Yen to Tyandapoodsa
with a mixed company guarding the flank
and another company posted on Lood-
uopfy hill. The Russian transport train
was at the village of Keuloonzi, guarded
by Cossacks.
The Japanese first appeared on the road
between Uhaasa and Stu Yen, and moved
on the Russian position In close forma-
tion. They were met with an excellently
directed artillery fire and forced to re-
tire with heavy losses. Meanwhile the
Japanese infantry advanced on the hill
occupied by the Cossacks, to whose as
sistance three companies were successive
ly called up.
After a gallant fight of two hours the
cossacks retired, but 1t was a barren VIC
tory for the Japanese. The Russian ar
tillery was turned on the hill vacated
by the cossacks and the Japanese found
the position untenable and were forced
to flee. The Japanese brought up a
mountain battery and enfiladed the Rus
sian flank, and a sharp artillery duel en-
sued.
The Japanese battery, however, was
quickly silenced and followed out of
range by Russian shells. The Japanese
finally turned the position held by the
cossacks on the hill east of Stu Yen and
forced the Russians to retire.
The movement was executed in an or
derly manner and covered by their ar
tillery, the Russians retired to Modyanka
and thence through the hills to the Hal
Cheng road.

Little Rock, Ark, June 11.-A special to
the Gazette from Pine Bluff, says
The flood in the Arkansas river today
reached by far its most destructive
stage in Jefferson county when part of
the Frenchtown levee about three miles
below the city, broke and turned the
river through a rich section of the coun-
try filled with growing crops of cotton and
corn. Since the water began to rise the
planters In that section have been work
ing day and night to save this important
levee, because 1t protects the rich bottom
lands for miles below.
Late Friday afternoon a telephone mes
sage was received in this city from those
working to save the Frenchtown levee,
that IL the water rose much higher the
levee would break Ten thousands sacks
of sand We're sent down at once on a
special freight and scores of men went
down to assist in the work. The men
worked all night, but the rising water
swept away their labors, and al about 9
o'clock the levee broke. The rush of the
water could be heard in this city

is RETURNED TO ENGLAND

Washington. June 11.-By unanimous
vote the executive committee of the Nat
ional Rifle association today decided to
return forthwith to England the Palma
trophy which the American team won at
the Bisley shoot last September, because
of the charges made that the American
team violated a rule Of the contest in
using a rifle different from that used by
regulation army of the United States.
1t was also decided to withdraw the
Palma trophy from this years competi-
tion.
The resolutions are as follows
whereas, this committee has carefully
dence in connection with the controversy
which followed the Palma trophy compe-
tition in 1903, and
rWhereas, we regret the evident differ
ences of opinion which have been made
the matter for publication, and while we
find the captaion of the American team
made no secret whatever of the exact
character of the rifles, believing their use
perfectly proper, which differences of
opinion would never have existed had he
officially submitted the rifles for appro-
val, in accordance with the explicit in
structions given him by the president of
this association, and
Whereas prolongation of the arguments
rs to what Is or is not conformity with
regulation pattern of rifles. which might
be continued Indefinitely with no prospec-
tive good resulting; therefore,
Where as it is the unanimous senti-
ment of this committee that the existing
controversy cannot continue without
working serious injury to competitive mill
itary rife shooting the world over; there
fore, be 1t
Resolved, That we hereby ratify all
statements made in the letter of the pres
dent of this association to the secretary
Of the National Rifle association of Great
Britain, dated March 7, 1904. and instruct
the presiden to withdraw the Palma COM
Ietition from the programme for the cur
rent year, and to caGse the Palma trophy
to be Immediately returned to the Ma
tional Rifle association of Great Britain,
to be neld by that organization for future
competition"
Arrangements were made today for the
regular meeting of the association in Sep
tember. An invitation was read from the
United States rifle societies of France for

meet to be held at Lyons from July to

Roosevelt Will Not Interfere.

Washington. June 11.-President Roose-
welt today received a telegram from w
d. Haywood. secretary of the Western
Federation of Miners, urging him to in
stitute an investigation of the present
serious condition of affairs in the Cripple
Creek mining district of Colorado.
Beyond the mere statement that the
telegram had been received and that no
answer had yet been sent to it no Of
fetal information is obtainable at the
White House What action, if any at all,
the President may take. is not even init
mated.
AT least twice heretofore within the
last six months the President has been
requested to interfere in the Colorado
troubles but declined after mature con-
sideration because he had no legal power
to take action in the matter, 1t Is re-
garded by those in close touch with him
to be unlikely that the President will in
terfere in any way with the action or

of Colorado

policy of secrecy as successfully as he
did before crossing the Yalu river.
