CATTLE DIPPING ORDER
Western Stockmen Pray for a nodifi-
 cation of It.

Washington, June 29.-By an order promulgated in March by the Secretary of Agriculture, it is required that all cattle west of the Mississippi river in tended for shipment should be dipped in a preparation prescribed by the de- partment for the purpose of absolutely exterminating the skin disease known as mange, which has existed to a lim- ited extent for many years in that sec- tion. This order, if rigidly enforced would require that all beef cattle whether affected by mango or not, should be dipped twice before ship ment.
 As it has been found impossible to make the necessary preparations and round up and dip the cattle within the limited time allowed, numerous pe- titions have reached the department praying for a relaxation of the order Today delegation appeared before

The Great Decisive Battle
 of the Campaign
GIGANTIC PRELIMlNARIES
Japanese Fighting Line Extends I20 MileSAThe Port Arthur Fleet Only Slightly Damaged - Vladivostok Squadron Out on Another Raid.

St. Petersburg, June 29.-The fact that no further news of land opera tions was received tonight did not serve to relieve the tension (which is general throughout the city. Officials continue to feel confidence in General Kuropatkins judgment and in his abi!- ity to deal with the situation, but the general public is keyed up in expecta- ton of a great battle and is impatient for news of any sort.
 The report from Tokio that a further raid had been made by the Vlodivostok squadron arrived too late to be gener- ally circulated. The report tallies with the intimation of the squadron's ac- tiVity made in the Associated Press dispatches of June 2. These dispatches said that the belief prevailed here that the Vladivostok squadron had put 10 sea on Saturday last and was likely to be next heard of in the Korean straits At the same time, the Russian correspondent at Vladivostok took pains to say that Vice Admiral Skyrd- ioff's squadron would probably be un- able to go out again for weeks, as the ships had to gc into dry dock for over hauling. The VIadivostok report is considered by some as a blind.

posed Of at least three regiments and ten batteries of artillery. A force of equal strength is advancing from Fen Shui pass on the high road to Liao Yang. The flank movement of the latter is supported by a column marching from SaimatsZa-
 It would appear that confusion has arisen through the use of the words "Mo Tien pass" in General Kuropat- kins dispatch of June 2. Mo Tien pass, known as the Gate of Mukden, '" is easily located, but troops would not be likely to advance from there on Hai Cheng or Ia Tche Kiao, as they would have to move nearly 100 miles southwest after getting through the pass. On the other hand there is a Mono Tien pass nearly east of Hai Cheng and about forty miles from that town. It is possible that Mono Tien pass has been meant when Mo TieD was mentiored.
 It also seems probable that reference to Ia pass in General Kuropatkin' s dispatch meant "Dalien pass" or "Daling," otherwise Da pass, which is about twenty-five miles southwest of Ta Tche Kiao. IL was announced from Hai Cheng last night that a heavy en- gagement was expected today near the village of Si Mou Cheng, fifteen miles southeast of Hai Cheng, and an equa! distance due east of the railroad
 Si Mou Cheng is about thirty miles from Mono Tien pass.

dents were high and there was much disappointment when the fleet returned to anchorage without encountering the enemy. It is said that the Russian sailors have no confidence in Rear Ad- miral WitsCeft, but they think that if Vice Admiral Skrydloff was in com mand, the fleet could successfully en- gage the Japanese.
 The Russian fieetis now reported to consist of six battleships, five cruisers and twenty y-four smaller vessels. On June 23, the day on which the Euro peans left the Japanese were reported to be trying to capture We Flu moun- tain, a strongly fortified position fif- teen miles from Port Arthur.
 A Frenchman who has been in Port Arthur since the war began, states that there are 5O,00O fighting men there m clGding soldiers and sailors and 500 women and one hundred and fifty non combatants. The women and non combatants are waiting for a steamer on which the Russians have promised to take them out of the besieged fort ress.

PORT ARTHUR FLEET INTACT.
All the Vessels Accounted for by Chi
 nese Refugees.

Chicago. June 29.-A special from Che Foo to the Daily News says eight refugees, who left Port Arthur in a Chinese junk, were picked up this morning. They belonged to the upper class. The information they gave seems reliable They stated that the Rus sian fleet now consists of the follow ing. ships, in good condition: The Czarevitch Retvizan, Pobieda, Peres- viet, Poltava, battleships, the Diana, Bayan, Novik, cruisers, and twenty torpedo craft and steamer boats. The torpedo transport Amur is damaged and the battleship SeVastopol slightly damaged, but they can soC-l be re- paired.
 There are 12,OOO sailors and 40,0OO sol diers in the fortress. Women are largely employed as nurses. There are 25O artisans and 1000 citizens. Those 2,OOO have been drafted into the army and are now drilling daily. There is plenty of fcod, but the government is controlling prices in cTder to prevent speculation. The refugees stated that owing to jeers of the army the fleet was forced to make its recent demon stration on June 23 in order to preserve , the morale of the garrison.
 Fifty Europeans. who left Port Ar thur on June 23, arrived here today from Pigeon bay, where they embark ed on a junk June 2S. They report that in the naval engagement of June 23, | the Russian battleship Sevastopol was slightly dama ged. Fifteen days will be required to repair her. The torpedo dispatch boat Amur was also badly | damaged. The European had not heard ] the result of the night engagement in which the Japanese claim to have sunk a battleship of the Peresviet tpye.

Opinion by a United States
 Circuit Judge
DEFINITION OF CONTEMPT
It Broadens the Limitations of News paper Utterances and Earrcws the Jurisdiction of Courts, Which Have Been Hitherto Beyond Criticism

Asheville. N. C., June 29.-JUdSe J. C. Pritchard of the United States cir cult court today filed his opinion ia the celebrated case of Josephus Dan iels. MT. Daniels. who is editor Os the Raleigh News and Observer. hAi been fined S2 900 for contempt of court by District Judge Purcell. Fudge Pr!t- chards opinion will be recognized as an authority in regard to newspaper utterances that might be construed ls contempt of court.
 The text of the decision in part. fol- lows: The force of public opinion a this country in favor Of the freeSiOm of the press has restrained the free eNer- else of power to punish this class 3r contempts. and in many jurisdictions statutes have been enacted depriVing Sourt of the. power to punish them. q; was taken from the federal courts by the act of congress of 1881. which act derrives those courts of common law suisors, witnesses. officers and them selves against libel of the press. though published and circulated pending the trial of cases therein.
 That newspapers sometimes engage Tn unwarranted criticism of courts cam not be denied. Tn some instances they construe the liberty of the press as a license to authorize them to en- gage in a wholesale abuse of the court but these instances are rare and do not warrant a departure from well settled principles of the law as declared by
 
 If judges charged with the adminlstra- ton of the law are not 10 be criticized on account of their official conduct. sh-. liberty of the press is abridged and the rights of individuals imperlled.
 There may be instances where the publication of editorials or other ma. ter in newspapers would bring the au- thor within the limitations of the statute For instance. if . newspaper should publish an article 10 the jaFy 0s q member thereof. during the progress of the trial for the purpose of infiaen,- ing them in their decision. IL wouii present a question whether such con duct would not be misbehavior in tE. presence of court. Or so near thereto as to obstruct the administration oc | justice.
 Tt appears that the distinguished judge who adjudged the petitioner 10 l be in contempt of court exceeded the authority granted in the act of IS3I and that the court was without juris- ! diction. Such being the case. the l judgment of the court is void and therefore a nullity.
 Tn view of the foregoing. the cOur. finds that the petitioner is unlaUfuliy 1 restrained of his liberty and it is i therefore considered and ordered by the court that the said JOsephus Daniels ! be discharged from the custody Of the | marshal of the United States and lhas he go hence without delay
