even stronger claim than did the
Japanese operapions on the Yalu

THE TWO GREAT BATTLES,

Toxic, May 27.-Noon.-The
Japanese army swept the
Russians from Kin Chou yester-
day morning, and in a desperate
attack stormed the almost i'm
pregnable position of the Rus
slams on Nanshan hill, west of
fallen Wan. The battle ragged
in the hills all through the night,
and fragmentary kilograms from
the Japanese headquarters re-
port that the engagement is still
ID progress and that the Jap
anese are still pursuing the
Russians south from Nanshan
and the head of Talien Wan bay.
The Russians had made elaborate
preparations to check the Japan
csc movement south of the Lao
Tung peninsula toward Port Ar
thur.

DESPERATION OF THE BATTLE.

Toxic, May 81, S p. m.-Sub-
sequent reports received here
indicate that the storming OF
Nanshan Hill yesterday was a
bloody affair. The Japanese
first centered their fire on the
Russian batteries in which work
they were aided by four gun
boats from Kin Chou bay. They
succeeded in silencing many OF
the enemy's guns.
The Russians had constructed
series of trenches around the
hill on a terrace protected by
wire entanglements and other
such devices.
The Japanese made series of
rushes, but they were in vain.
The deadly rifle and cannon fire
of the enemy checked them re-
peatedly.
Finally, at 3 o'clock in the after
noon, the Japanese reinforced
and stormed the crest Of the hill.
The Russians held to their posi-.
ton doggedly and it was 7 o'clock
in the evening before the Japan.
csc finally gained possession OF
the ridge.

forefathers fought, bled and died

Where is it today?
Millions "Paradise Lost" told
of how man was shorn of happy
heritage, once promised on the
ground of his fidelity, but which
he was prone to forget, and thus
entailed upon himself and pos
terity the direst ignominy.
In these latter days, if the
signs are unmistakable, our com.
mon liberty is but the empty
bauble of an Indian pagod, and in
effect synonymous with same.
1t now transpires, from our
latest information, authenticated,
that st. Louis has gilded com.
blne that far outshines the
trusts, and which for mercenary
purposes and modern diabolism
eclipses anything of the kind
yet in the range of our cogniz'
ance.
