EIGHT CossACKs KILLED.
They Attack Strongly Entrenchcd
Japanese and Gain Nothing.
(By the Associated Press


St Petersburg, June 4.-3:2O p. m
The War Office has received news
of a sharp fight twenty miles north
of Saimatsza, north of Feng Wang
Cheng, June i. in which eight Cos
sacks were killed and twenty-five
wounded. The. Japanese losses are
not known. Five companies of Gen
eral Rennenkampff's Cossacks discov-
cred Japanese attachments ut Fen
Chu Ling pass, half way between
Sainmatsza and Ajiudjan. The Cos
sacks dismounted and attacked on
foot. but owing to the difficult nature
of the ground and the strong defen-
sive position held by the enemy and
the latter's stubborn resistance, the
Cossacks drew off, No particular i'm
portance is attached at the War
Office to the appearance of this de-
tachment of the enemy. it being be-
lieved that General Kuroki is keeping
his Hank will protected in order to
rid himself of the spying eyes of the
Cossacks.
The War Office has received no
fresh news from Lao Tung
Since the receipt of General Stoes-
sells report the general staff is con-
WINGED that the Japanese losses in the
fighting about Kin Chou was greater
officially admitted. 1t is known that
only the seriously wounded We're in
cluded in that category. There are
indications that both of the command
ers are pursuing this plan as the
wounds made by the small caIibre
high velocity bullets used in modern
warfare, unless they reach a vita
spot, heal quickly and in a few weeks
most of the wounded men are agar
ready for active service.

KurOpatkin Gathers Power.
(By the Associated Press

st. Petersburg, June 4.-The gen
eral public at the Russian capital is
imbued with the belief that important
military developments are impending
at Lao and that a general engage
ment between General Kuroki's and
General Kuropatkin's armies is immi-
nent. Although the authorities are
doing nothing to discourage the idea,
the best informed circles at the War
Office do not anticipate q devisive bat
tie Immediately.
The War Office information does
not indicate that the Japanese have
concentrated for an attack on Kuro-
patkin, and it is said that they are not
yet ready to assume the offensive.
Nevertheless it is known that differ
ences of opinion exist at the Russian
headquarters as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
taking the aggressive. and it is believ-
ed that this matter was the subject of
the conference between the command
Ell in chief and the Viceroy at Mukden
Tuesday. Kuropatkin's position is be-
coming very formidable, both i'm the
number and character of the troops
at his disposal. Large reinforcements
of field artillery have now arrived.
Nevertheless. Kuropatkin does not
consider himself strong enough to risk
the possibility of a defeat which might
be irretrieVable.

scholar and author, has started q move
ment to bring about general celebra-
ton in England, Scandinavia and the
United States In commemoration of the
founding of Normandy by the Morse
chieftain, Rolf, In 891. Prof. Anderson
believes that II the matter is properly
presented to the public steps will be
taken to honor the memory Of Rolf by
erecting monuments to him in some Of
the principal cities Of England, Scan
dinavia and the United States Prof.
Anderson proposes July 4. 1912. to
be concentrated as the date for the
Jubilee. He suggests particularly that
the Norwegians of America erect a
monument to Rolf somewhere between

Consumption Statistics.

General statements as to the prog
ress made in checking the ravages OF
consumption are always interesting,
but it is much better to have specific
statistical Information upon the sub
ject. Vital statistics have been taken
In Massachusetts since 1912. In all
the years before 1857 the annual death
rate from consumption was nearly or
quite 1000 to 100000 inhabitants.
The rate has declined almost stead
lily ever since. 1t was about 1920 to
100000 in 1882, less than $500 In
1892, and less than 1000 in 1902-the
lowest point reached up to that time.
Corresponding figures for England
show a similar decrease. The system
of keeping vital statistics has not been
general enough to make sure that all
the states can present as good rec
ord Of progress as Massachusetts,, but
all the facts that are available are en-
couraging.
