PLANS OF JAPANESE
WERE NOT REALIZED.

Gen. Kuroki's Headquarters in the
Field Near Towan. Aug. 1, delayed in
transmission. )-Yesterday's battle con-
sisted of a double attack for the pur-
pose of driving the Russians from
their strong defenses, commanding the
Yangse pass on the Lao Yang road,
through the first range of hills be-
yond Molten pass and Yushu pass on
the road to Mukden
The operations extended over a front
more than fifty miles in length. Both
attacks were successful in respect to
carrying local points, but the Japan
csc plans were not fulfilled for the
reason that they contemplated partly
surrounding the enemy; capturing
many and possibly capturing the bat
teries. The Russians managed to re-
treat with all their guns except one.
They carried away their dead and
wounded, and they left fewer prison
ers behind than in several recent out
posts SkirmiSheS.

WARE & LELAND
Say New Cotton Is Needed To
Change Market.


Change Market.
New York. Aug. 11.-There is really
nothing to be said about the cotton
market. 1t is the same story day aft
er day. There is no damage to cause
any anxiety, and not enough new cot
ton to start a decline. Therefore. dead
lock. 1t will take new cotton to change
the character of the market. There
seems to be a determined effort to
bring about an advance, and for this
reason there is less cotton sold now
than a few weeks ago. So much de-
Ponds on big crop that traders are
not to be blamed for avoiding the short
side We would rather wait for adj
vances to sell on and would not fail
to take profits on every break. 1t will
be some time before we have a run
ming decline and perhaps not at all.
There is every reason for the most
cautious kind of trading just at this
time. We confess we don't see thou
sand and one reasons to buy cotton.
The dry goods trade is bad and the
crop looks as though it would be
whopper. But it's not gathered yet, and
we must be prepared for poor accounts
from some sections. else we would
raise 100000 bales. The South is, of
course. heavily short. but the crop is
doing very well, and there is not much
in sight to buy or sell on.

REVOLUTION IN PARAGUAY.
There and in Uruguay InsurrectiOns
Are AfOOt.

Buenos Ayres, Aug. 1.-THE revo-
luntionary movement at Asuncion, the
capital Of Paraguay, was initiated by
a member of the Chamber of Depu-
ties with the object of overthrowing
the administration of President Ezcur-
IA. There have been no disturbances
whatever in the country districts. The
government forces are concentrating
at the capital and acquisitions have
been made for arms.
The steamer Sajonia, which sailed
from La Plata, Aug. 4, is of 215 tons
and is equipped with six Krupp guns.
She is ascending the Uruguay river
with the object of making an attack,
and it is expected that there will be
naval engagement between the Sa-
jonia and an armed passenger river
boat manned by national troops. For
eigners are taking refuge in the lega-
tons of their respective countries.
The revolution in Uruguay has in
creased in activity and to-day heavy
fighting lis reported in which it is said
that the revolutionists inflicted "a Sc
riouS defeat on the forces of the gov
eminent.

TAFT ON THE PHILIPPINES.
Secretary of War Spoke to a Chau-
tnuqua Audience.


ChautauQua, N. Y, Aug. 11.-Sec-
rotary of War Taft to-day addressed
the largest audience that has gather
ed at the summer assembly for years.
His subject was "Our duty in the
Philippines" Among other things the
Secretary said:
1T is the failure to identify them
selves with the government as part
of it and as responsible for it's proper
administration that renders the great
body of the Filipino people at present
unfit for complete self government and
the Introduction of the system of Jury
trial.
The problem before this govern
ment. he said, is how best to educate
the Filipinos for self government. The
first step taken was the education of
the present generation in the primary
and secondary schools and in English
and he recounted the progress that has
been made. 1t was matter of con-
lecture, how long the process of educa-
ton of the people will take, but it
should be continued long enough under
American auspices to insure it's con-
tinuance under the auspices of the
Filipinos if they should see fit to
establish an independent government.
Continuing, he said: ''If the gov
eminent were now turned over to the
Filipino people without American guild
ance then we can be sure that the
whole fabric of the educational system
established by the American govern
ment in those islands will fall to
pieces. The self sacrifice, the patience
and the knowledge necessary to the
continuance of such a system of edu-
cation are not to be found now even
among the intelligent classes of the
Filipino people. They are not suf-
ficiently charged with the importance
of maintaining all these instruments
l have described, for the purpose of
elevating the poor and common peo-
pie. They are content with a govern
ment of the few

DEMERE & HAMMoND's
Daily Cotton Letter from New

on the other hand, were neglected,
has come to be the fashion abroad to
consider a big crop already made and
only waiting to be gathered, but if
recent advices from Texas are to be
believed, we are on the eve of a crop
scare from that quarter: conservative
people not given to eXaggeration, re-
port boil worms and boil weevils both
working great damage, their activity
being directly traceable to the show
cry weather, which has prevailed re-
Gently. Predictions for tomorrow are
for further showers, and it is plain
that unless dry weather sets in prompt
ly, fine prospect will be sadly mar
red. Before the advent of the Wee
vii, II was an axiom in Texas that
Plenty of rain makes plenty of cot
ton" but ii has recently been found
that wet weather at this time of year
makes bigger crop of weevils than
bolls, and that the weeVil when pres
ent sufficient numbers to destroy
forms and young bolls as soon as they
appear, wet weather increases their
activity and we must be prepared to
hear loud complaints of widespread
damage from this section. AS the
movement of the new crop has also
been retarded by the rains and the
cotton world is forced to wait con-
sideI'ably longer than expected for re-
lief from an intolerable state of short
supplies. the market is i'm no condi-
ton to Withstand any news seriously
threatening the outturn of the crop i'm
the banner state of the belt II will
be remembered that the short crop of
the past year was due almost entirely
to the shortage in Texas.

ROOT FOR GOVERNOR.
The Boom for Him Seems to Have
Broken Out Anew.

New York, Aug. 11.-"Elihu Root
must take himself out of the field for
the govern orship in a more positive
manner than he has yet indicated or
he will be nominated at the Saratoga
convention next month"
That was the opinion expressed by
a member of the New York Republi-
can State Committee after he had
been comforting with other members
both before and after a brief meet
ing of the committee to-day. He will
have to make a public declaration
through the newspapers or the conven-
ton will put him at the head of the
ticket" the member added.
Other members of the committee
talked in a similar strain and the
Root boom is again on in earnest.
If not Root, then Higgins will be
the man." was the verdict of the COM
mitteemen who were giving their at
tention to the governorship.

house near Helena last September of
