such a hot fire, they only succeeded In
placing one battery, which was soon

appears Kuroki selected Tantziapudzy

west and southwest of Tantziapudzy,
the latter being on Lianhe river, eight

resumed their advance against Kuro-
patkin's positions The opposing
armies are In contact east and south
OF Lao Yang and severe fighting has
been in progress since Wednesday.
Adyices at hand are too meager to en-
able the officials to form a correct
opinion as to whether it will result in
. general engagement. but the extent
and character of the Japanese move
ment, leads to that conclusion. Since
the rains ceased a week ago there have
been continued intimations that Kuro-
patkin was about to assume the offen-
eive but instead of that 1t was the
Japanese who attacked the Russian

day Miss Eliza Ainsworth received a
check for $500. These sums were
paid to the organizers of the shipbuild-

When the promoters failed in their
scheme and found they were in danger
unless they made good the sums re-

policy of paying back to the investors.
1t is supposed that large number
of others invested also and other checks

The convention was virtually that OF
two men-J. r. Norman. Of Abba, who
publishes the only populist newspaper
in the state, and Calamity" Weller.
of Nashua. who used to edit the other
populist paper. Both are men who lind
it hard to keep from making speech
every Ave minutes. Both are genuine
populists of the old school. Weller
acted as chairman and Norman made
the motions and the convention was
easily IlldldSeu III Ills way. AS sAS
ket nominated is as follows:
Secretary Of state, John G. Ferris,

name the electors for districts. Con-
gressional candidates will be named In
some districts only. Tom Watson Is to
be secured for one speech In Iowa.
