TRIAL OF BEEF TRUST.
Department of Justice Is Ordered TO

Advance Case on Calendar.
President Roosevelt has ordered the
Department of Justice, through Attorney
General Moody, to advance the beef trust
case on the calendar or the United States
Supreme Court. in order that it may be
tried early in The October term.
The President has already received the
reports of three special agents OF the
Department Of Commerce and Labor
who have been investigating the beef
trust for the last three months. These
reports. it is asserted. show conclusNcly
that the trust is absolutely disrcGariins

a sea of mud. as Virginia roads SOME
times did during the Civil War, mill
tary movements would become almost
impossible.

occurrences at Port Arthur The Jap

to eight miles from the Notifications.
whether, and if so where. they have
drawn any nearer is unc 1rtain. The
Wild story that the Japanese lost 30
600 men in attacks made by them on
the Notifications on July 10 or /. rs
contradicted from Toxic. Other reports
placing the loss at 22,000 or $4,000 are
doubtless equally fabulous. The report
that on the 4th and 9Th of the month
the Japanese were driven from the
heights commanding Lusantan pass
with a loss of 1000 has not been Off
cially denied The statement to the
effect that tie japanese on the 18th
inst stormed Chungta, the key to the
defensive works at Port Arthur. has
not been confirmed. The Japanese say
there was no fighting on that day.
Little more is known about naval
than about military operations. Ad-
miral Togo reports that on the night
of the 18th his torpedo boats attacked
the Russian guardshlp Diana at the
mouth Of the harbor. Whether it was
injured he does not know.
It is more than likely that there has
been much savage fighting around Port

So far as is known at this writing
the expected great battle between the
Russians and the japanese in Mongolia
has not been fought. and the respective
forces occupy much the same positions
they did seven days ago, says the Chi
cago Tribune. At that time it was
known that the Russians had evacu-
ated Kaichou and had fallen back on
Tatchekiao According to General
Oku, Kaichou was occupied after three
days of severe fighting. The Russian
reports do not treat the matter so seri-
ously, and indicate that Their was little
more than rear guard resistance to
the advance Of the japanese.
The Russians have abandoned Yin
kow, the port of Newchwang. a posi-
ton which they could not safely hold
after their retrograde movement. The
japanese do not appear to have taken
possession, A Liaoyang dispatch re-
ports that a Japanese column advanc-
ing along the coast in the direction of
Yinkow was roughly handled by Cen
eral SamsOnOff and his Cossacks and
had TO retreat. 1t is likely that the
japanese were merely making a recon
noissance, because the indications are
that General Oku has withdrawn his
forces west of the railroad and has
nIassed them near Kaichou. If the Rus
slams are defeated, or if they retreat
Yink0w and NeWchwang will fall into
the hands of the japanese without any
fighting, and they will then have COM
plete control Of the coast of Manchuria
and a new base of supplies.
According to Russian reports, which
are probably correct, General Oku is
slowly moving northward from Kai-
chou in the direction of Tatchekiao,
where General Kuoropatzin has his
headquarters. General Kurokrs main
force is on the east bank of the Lank
River, about twenty eight miles from
Liaoyang, while the Russians under
General Keller are on the other bank,
strongly fortified and prepared to re-
sist an advance, The only fighting re
ported in which Kurokfs men took
part was a skirmish near Siamatse, in
which General Rennenkampf was
wounded
The Takushan army, of which Gen
eral Nodzu was in command originally
is said to have come in touch with thar
of General Oku at Tangchi. ten miles
southeast of Tatchekiao. and also pre-
sumably is in touch with General Ku-
roki's northern army. The Japanese
appear to be in position. in readiness to

The murderer of Miss Sarah Schafer,

feet obtained the right of passage
through the Dardanelles. This st agree
ment plainly discrimiuates frtween the
warships of the Black sea squadron and
the volunteer fleet" vessels, and as the
ships thus far sent through the Darda-
nelles belong to the latter class it does
not appear that the letter OF the treaty

Undoubtedly Russia would like to get
it's warships out of the Black sea, Per
haps its present operations are efforts
to see how far it can go in this direction
without being called to account by the
western powers. Russia naturally will
put as liberal an Interpretation as pos
sible upon its rights in the Dardanelles,
but it will not carry the issue SO far as
to involve war.
