n CRUSHING BLOW
FOR THE RUSSIANS
JAPANESE MEET ATTEMPT TO
TURN THEIR RIGHT FLANK
WITH DECISIVE DEFEAT.
Gen. stakelberg Forced to Retreat
Said to Have Lost 10000 Men in
the Engagement - Story Lacks
Confirmation.

London, June 1.-THE Russian army
at Vafangow, $4,000 strong, has been
crushed by Gen. Nodzu, with 10000
Japanese troops. The Russians aban-
doned 13 guns, their supplies, their
baggage train, their regimental colors,
and their dead and wounded They are
in full retreat northward along three
roads. The Japanese admit that they
lost 1000 men, killed and wounded.
They say the Russians left more than
500 dead and wounded on the field
Gen. Kuroki is reported to have sent
two divisions from Siuyen to intercept
Stackelberg's retreat AS Stackelberg
is 100 miles from Kuropatkin's main
army at Liaoyang he may be compelled
to surrender.
Places Loss at High Figure.
Paris, June 20.-The SIT. Petersburg
correspondent Of the L'Echo de Paris
says there is a report in Russian mill
tary circles that Gen. Stakelberg dur
ing his retreat from Vafangow lost 49,
600 men in killed, wounded and cap
tuped. He adds that this news has

Retreating on Foot.
London, June 20.-Gen. Stakelberg's
shattered forces are retreating on foot
toward Haicheng. Russian reports
state that the railroad is unable to
transport more than a few thousand
men and the flight of the defeated army
apparently is SO urgent that there is
no time to wait on the arrival of more
trains. Besides the railroad has large
task in transporting the men wounded
in the battles at Vanfangow and Tells
SUI. Eleven hundred wounded, includ-
ing 55 officers, have reached Liaoyang
and 734 wounded men and SO officers
are in Mukden. The Russians estimate
their total losses at 1000 men There
seems to be every reason for Stakel-
bergs haste to get back to the main
army. The st. Petersburg war office
announces that Kuroki is at Siuyen
with 10000 men, but believes that he
is too late to pocket Stakelberg.
Between Two Jap Armies.
London, June 18.-A dispatch from
st. Petersburg stated that two JAP
anese divisions were marching from
Siuyen to intercept Gen. Stakelberg's
army. If this is true. and the JAP
anese army from Siuyen has reached
Tashicao, as stated by the Daily
Nails correspondent, then Gen. Stalk
elberg's army is in most critical
situation, with 10000 fresh Japanese
troops blocking his way to the north
and the 10000 men of Gen. Nodzu's
army pressing him from the south.
He cannot retreat eastward He must
either withdraw toward Newchwang
or fight

the hurricane deck, the supports of
which had burned away, fell with it's

TO the panic and horror Of those on the
deck below. Very soon after parts
of the second and third decks also caved
In. But before this happened the tug
Walter Tracey had come alongside the
burning steamer and been dashed to it.
Many of the passengers were taken off
by the crew of the Tracey, which re-
manned alongside the steamer until the
tugs pilot-house took fire.
Many Frightfully Burned.
Many of those picked up alive in the
river will die in the hospitals. Most of
them were frightfully burned, having de-
Iayed leaping from the boat until their
clothing was on fire. Some died in the
improvised ambulances in which they
were hurried from the shore. Every man
on board who could swim went over
hoard loaded down, with children. Many
of these heroes lost their lives, because,
burdened as they were, they could make
no Roadway against the overpowering
swirl of the tide as it rushes from the
East river into the sound.

Race to Vladivostok.

-SSeSS
The Vladivostok squadron-or a
part of it, at least-was sighted early
this Saturday morning off the west
ern end of the Straits of Tsugaru, be-
tween the main island of Japan and
the island Of Yezo. This would locate
the Russian vessels 400 miles due east
of Vladivostok. Presuming that Vice
Admiral Kamimura is in close pursuit,
it is a question of speed whether the
Russians can get into safe harbor at
Vladivostok without battle.
Great Loss to Japanese.
Toxic, June 1.-THE Vladivostok
squadron apparently has escaped after
a raid into the Korean strait, which
cost Japan at least two transports and
the lives of nearly 1000 men. Vice Ad-
miral Kamamura with japanese
squadron is in hot pursuit. Heavy
fogs prevail over the strait. AS far
as ascertained the net results of the
Russian raid are summarized as fol-
lows:
Hatachi, transport, sunk with 700
men on board; all killed or drowned
save 397 men.
sado, transport, sunk with 700 men
on board; 1873 escape in boats
Izuma, transport with soldiers and
supplies; missing.
Jap Transport Destroyed.
Toxic, June 20.-In addition to the
transport Hitaichi and Smelling the
P11c
mi, a transport homeward bound, car
rying few sick soldiers Three boats
from the Idzumi have reached shore.
The losses on the Idzumi are not
known
Effect Of Squadron's Raid.
st. Petersburg, June 2O-Vice Ad-
miral Skrydlof's message to the en-
peror from Vladivostok, in which he
details the operations of the Vladivos-
tok squadron, indicates that he has ac-
counted for at least three of the Jap
anese transports, besides a suspected
collier. The message does not indicate
the present whereabouts of the SQUAD
ron. The fact that the collier was sent
to Vladivostok under prize crew
might indicate that the news Of the op-
erations of the squadron was brought
there by her and that the cruisers are
still at sea. The destruction of an
aggregate of $4,000 tons of Shipping,
besides troops and crews, and valu-
able cargo of supplies, is considered
here as being good showing for the
raid made by the cruisers.

CONSUMPTIVE SANITARGUM
"A Forty Acre Tract Will be Cleared and
Two Story Cottage Built.

A"O SGOIy COGtdSc
An effort is being made by the
State of Minnesota to stamp out the
scourge of consumption, and to that
end, the last session of the legislature
made an appropriation for the pur-
chase of a suitable tract of land in our
pine forests, along some lake, and the
erection of a suitable building where
persons suffering from consumption
might receive proper. care. About
700 acres of land on Leech Lake, near
Walker, has been selected for this pur-
pose and forty acres of it will be
cleared of all underbrush Immediately
and seeded to grass. This tract lies
along the lake shore.
Orders have been issued for the
erection of two story cottage on this
tract, which is about two miles from
the railroad. An effort will be made
to have station at the nearest point
to the cottage Wadena Tribune.

anu WHO were going TO Tem1ln mac
tive in this campaign have now taken
the stump advocating the cause of his
opponent. Is this because the Demo-
Gratis have named for governor a gen
tleman who has "a record conspicuous
for great things accomplished or was
leader in great fights in the past?
By no means. The Democratic party
saw an opportunity of electing a gov
ernor and when the convention met in
August two factions were prominent
before it. First the disaffection in the
Republican ranks; and second, the
Swedish vote. And they deliberately
set about policy to aggravate the
one and to capture the other.
State is nominally hopeless and the
Republicans next month will cast a
plurality for Roosevelt of between
$4,000 and $4,000 votes.
"The Swedish-Americans are by
instinct Republicans. They believe
in the principles of the Republican
party and the great Swedish race will
almost to man vote for Roosevelt
next month. AS an humble American
citizen will say that I believe that
the Swedish-American element will
rebuke the methods of the Democratic
party at the polls by helping to ad-
minister to them an overwhelming de-
feat. I say that the Swedish-Ameri-
can votes cannot be brought to the
Democratic party by such tactics.
Mr.. johnson will be told that if he
wants those votes he must come to the
Republican party, where they are
found.
IF the Democrats elect their gov
ernor he will have the appointing of
a large number of State officers and
will surround himself with an array
of Democratic officials all of whom
will contribute in the Democratic cam
paign fund. We will concede that if
elected the Democrats will make an
attempt at good government, but they
will attempt to fasten the hold of the
Democratic party on the State. Their
next step will be to appeal to the peo-
pie to elect legislature favorable to
the governor and in 1906 they will at
tempt to elect such legislature.
"The Democratic party is going to
seek to bring about this state of
affairs in order to be in position to
elect Democratic senator from this
State. Don't you know that the
lower house of congress is in danger
and that if the Democratic party does
succeed in wiping out the Republican
majority this year it will renew the
efforts two years hence and it rests
with the Republican voters to see to
it that the party doesn't lose control?
"There is larger majority in the
senate but men sometimes die leaving
vacancies, and in case there should
be vacancy from Minnesota and Mr..
johnson was elected, a Democratic
senator would of course be appointed.
Massachusetts is now mourning the
recent death Of her venerable and
honored senator, Hoar, and it is but
four years ago that our own Senator
G. K. Davis was one of the influential
members of that body. He died three
years ago and three days later a
Democratic senator was appointed
and took advantage of the opportun-
ity to denounce the party in this State
which gave Mckinley $1,000 ma
jority.''

INDIANA POPULISTS.

| Each district chairman is hereby Iii
rected to call district conference to
select one delegate and one alternate
to the Springfield convention. Our
workers are urged to extend the cir
culation of our newspapers and litera-
ture and to strengthen the organiza-
tion in every way possible. Each dis
trict and county chairman is re-
quested to write me report of the
organization and conditions in his tel
ritOry. Let us be up and doing.
FRED. J. S. ROBINSON,
State Chairman, Peoples Party.
Cloverland, Ind, March 81, 1904.
The populists of Indiana are re-
quested to meet in state conference on
Thursday, April %, 1904, at 10 o'clock
a. m, at Craigs hotel, 32S East Wash
ington street, indianapolis, Ind, TO
select eleven delegates at large and
eleven alternates to the peoples party
national convention, to be held at
Springfield, ILL.,, July 4, 1904, to nor--
mate candidates for president and
vice president.
This conference is to fix the time
and place for holding the congress
siOnal conventions for the election OF
one delegate and one alternate from
each district to said national conven-
ton, and to do such other business as
may properly come before it.
1t is evident that the reactionary
element of the democratic party will
control at st. Louis, anu political par
ties will be placed back to the condi-
lions of 1892. Under such conditions
every pOpulist must recognize the
necessity for independent action. II
the reOrganizers again control, a
large per cent Of democratic vote. s
will refuse to support their own can
didates. With this prospect before
us, why stand We here idle?"
The candidate and the policy of the
republican party are we'll known, and
every populist will readily admit that
one party of that kind is enough. Tie

7th congressional district Qndianap-
olis) of Indiana shows that the frienGs
of the Kansas City platform have be-
come disheartened.
The principles of the peoples party
being those of real democracy, the
party must be the refuge and home of
those democrats who have striven un-
successfully through two great cam
paigns to make their own party truly
democratic.
Every populist, and every friend Of
independent action, is urged to make
some sacrifice and attend this meet
