SAVED ONLY TWO CANNON
GENERAL ZASSALlTCH'S FORCES
LOST TWENTY-FIVE HEAVY
GUNS TO THE JAPS.

st. Petersburg, May 5.-The emperor
has received additional details of Sun
days fight on the Yalu river from Gen.
eral Kuropatkin, but probably they will
not be given out till night.
The general staff explains that the
Russian batteries at Kiuliencheng and
Potitinsky succeeded in Withdrawing
to a second position, whence they
poured a murderous fire on the Jap
anese, who were occupying the heights
the Russians left. The japanese at
tackled at three points-frontal at kiu-
liencheng, on the flank at Chingow and
on the other flank at Liatangow or
Liatungow, northwest and southeast,
respectively, of Kiuliencheng.
The losses were very severe on the
f1anks, which protected the retreat OF
the main body from Kiuliencheng. The
Eleventh regiment made heroic stand
at Lianfangow, the Russian second po-
sition along the heights. whence ii was
impossible to remove the guns on &C
count of the nature of the ground ana
the heavy mud.
General Zassalitch's force is resting
at Fenghuangcheng. No renewal of
the attack has been made. Ii is be-
lieved tha. General Kuroki is also rest
ing on the river. There Is strong
Russian position back of Fenghuang-
cheng on a parallel with Mukden and
I.iaoyang. where troops are concentrat-
ing and it is considered likely that a
really decisive engagement may be
fought there. To force the pass beyond
Fenghnangcheng directly is consid-
cred practically impossible.
General Zassaltch only had forty
guns altogether and sixteen of these
left Antung early Sunday morning and
reached Fenghuangcheng safely. The
Second and Third batteries or the
Sixth brigade lost all but two guns,
namely, twenty-five. Eight machine
guns. which were used to cover the
retreat, were also lost.

NEWS OISPELS THE GLOOM
RUSSIAN PUBLIC ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER THE GALLANT STAND
ON THE YALU.

st. Petersburg, May 5.-The gloom
which has prevailed here was almost
completely dispelled when the people
read the story of the glorious fight
made by General Zassalitch's handful
of rough regiments against the flower
of the mikado's legions at the Yalu
and of the utter defeat of Vice Admiral
TOgo's latest attempt 20 seal the en-
trance TO Port Arthur. 1t is now plain
that not more than 5000 Russians
were actually engaged in the fighting
at the Yaiu against the Japanese army
of a total strength of between 10000
and 10000. The losses on both sides,
which are expected to reach 1000,
and possibly 1900, in the Russian
force and twice that number for the
Japanese. make it one OF the bloodiest
fights in history. At the river cross
ing the Jap pinese dead lay piled up
literally in heaps and General kuro-
ki's success was purchased at such
heavy cost that the Russians are dis
posed to regard it as rather a defeat
than a victory for him.
General kuropatkin's dispatch shows
that the Russians fought with such
bull dog tenacity and bravery against
the overwhelming superiority of the
enemy that the latter's nominal vic
tory was eclipsed by the prowess OF
the cars soldiers. General Kuropat-
kin's report also served to restore Gen
eral Zassalitch to public favor. Those
who were disposed TO criticise him,
even at the headquarters OF the gen
eral staff, where it is considered that
he made a tactical blunder, now say
that he redeemed himself by his gal
lantry In action and the damage he in
ficted upon the enemy.
The loss of the guns, which, accord
Ing 10 the best information obtainable,
consisted of twenty-five field pieces
and eight machine guns, is considered
particularly unfortunate, even though
they will be of no service to the enemy
on account of the removal of their
breechblocks. but members of the gen.
eral staff say the science of war offers
many instances where guns have been
sacrificed to allow infantry to retreat
In good order.

Peking Government So Informs Its
Minister to Russia.

st. Petersburg, May 5.-The Chinese
minister. who, in consequence of ru-
mors of the possibility that China
might not remain neutral, applied to
Peking for information. has received
a cablegram from the Peking govern
ment and Viceroy Yuan Shi kai which
reads as follows:
In reply TO your telegram of April
% and with the object of putting a
stop to unfounded rumors We request
you to deny them, declaring again in
the most formal manner that China
and the Chinese people will faithfully
observe neutrality You are author
lied to say that the central govern
ment has given rigorous orders to the
local authorities to see that neutrality
is strictly maintained and that the
most complete order is preserved in
the whole territory declared neutral.
Moreover, we are able 10 guarantee
that, owing to the measures we have
taken, any renewal of the events like
those of 1900 is impossible.

Toxic, May 5.-The reports which
have been received here of the sue
cessful blocking of the entrance to
Port Arthur harbor by the Japanese,
coming on the heels of the news of the
victory on the Yalu, stirred Toxic TO
another popular demonstration and
during the evening thousands of men
carrying lanterns, swinging high from
bamboo poles. paraded through the
city Half dozen bands OF music led
the various professions.
Ii had been expected that tidings OF
the Port Arthur engagement would
come from Vice Admiral Togu some
time during the day, but none were re-
ceived.
The report which has reached here
from Europe that General Kuropatkin,
the commander-in-crief Of the Russian
troops in the Far East, Is personally
leading 10000 men from Ldaoyang TO
Fenghuangcheng, is welcomed as good
news on the theory that the more ag.

comes the more speedy will be Japan's
final victory.

"Beavers-Their Ways" is the
name of an interesting book onthe
beavers, a subject on which the
author, Mr.. Joseph Fl. Taylor, is
especially fitted to put in book
form. MI. Taylor has had years
of experience among the beavers
and from a trapper he became a
student and observer of the bea-
vers and their ways. The book
contains much of local interest, and
contains many Illustrations of the
home and different dams of these
animals in this county. A chap
ter is devoted to the beaver as a
weather prophet. Especially to those
who are not acquainted with the
history of this nearly extinct an
imal they will become thoroughly
interested and repaid in reading

THE RECORD.

One Of the reasons why Senators
Hansbrough and McCumber and
Representatives Spalding and Mar
shall are successful in gaining leg
lslation of interest to North Dakota
is the fact that they are all work
ing in harmony to accomplish a
common end, the good of their con-
stituents through the enactment of
needed legislation. Neither seeks
to advance his own interest by
forging ahead and gaining some
distinctive glory, nor to hold the
other in check by keeping back
pet measure of the others.
There is no knitting and no sneak
as sometimes appears in state
legislatures, but stalwart men, as
they all are, and stalwart Repub-
they stand together for the
good.

In the history of Mclean coun-

harmonious convention of the Re-
publican party than the one held
Monday. The delegates returned
to their several homes Tuesday
more than pleased with the ticket
placed in nomination. The candi.
dates are all well-known and that
they will poll an overwhelming ma
jority is to say the least. The del
egates from the different precincts
got what they asked for and there
are no sore spots. The convention
was composed of representative bus.
mess men of the county, and their
ticket will receive the heartiest
support of everybody.

Great changes, especially in this
county, has taken place the past
few years due to the introduction
of the steam breaking pillow. We
of Mclean county pride ourselves
upon the fact that there are more
steam plows in operation within
the confines of the county than in
any other county in the state. A
steam rig consisting of eight plows
can be operated very cheaply on
account of the low price for fuel.
In a manner this has solved the
question that has bothered those
who purchased threshing rigs,.and
for the larger part Of the year have
the investment bring in no returns.
The machine man, before the ad-
vent of the %steamplow considered
himsely lucky if he could get in
forty days during the year thresh-
ing. Now this is alltchanged and
during the breaking season the en-
gine can be made to take the place
ofthe horse in front of the pillow
and made to earn for the owner a
large return on the investment, We
expect to see in a,few more years
mors farm work being done by the
aid Of steam.

Newspaper men frequently have
their attention called to the typo.
graphical errors which sometimes
get into their publications. If news
paper men knew their business, or
rors would never happen. The peo-
pie who discover these errors can
tell you that much. In an ordinary
column there are about 10000
pieces of type to be picked up,
right.about.faced and stood right
side up with care. These, in turn,
must be placed in the case. which
necessitates the handling of 100000
pieces of type each week. Now. if
in the first place the editor gets cor
rect information, and if he writes
it properly, and if the compositor
set it up as he should, and it the
galley boy knows enough to take a
decent proof and the copyholder is
sober, and if the proof reader marks
the corrections, and if the printer
corrects them, and the makeup gets
the type in the right place and the
pressman prints them as he should
and if the press doesn't smash a
few letters; why, it can easily be
seen how unnecessary are these
typographical errors. It certainly
is a very easy matter torun q news
paper, and to get it absolutely cor
rect. "But these apt scholars, these
all wise and all accurate men who
are 90 ready to point out the errors
and oversights Of the newspaper
men can't tell a piece of type from
a threshing machine or a car wheel.
