whole of June % and June % and the
japanese successfully pushed the Rus
slams from their positions, occupying
them with artillery as the defenders
retired
Wounded Russians recounting the
two days fighting say that the Japan
ese again demonstrated their reliance
on their artillery and that they were
greatly superior, both in number and
in guns.
On the second day of the fight they
brought up a heavy battery which
silenced the lighter Russian guns and
caused severe losses.
The japanese artillery practice,
however, was inaccurate and as usual
they several times shelled empty posi-
lions or shot over the Russian columns
The fight started at dawn ten miles
southwest of Dalin hill. A Russian
rifle brigade held the position until
noon in the face of heavy artillery
fire, but the Russians We're finally out
fianked by infantry and cavalry, the
japanese actually getting a field bat
terry in the rear of the Russian posi-
ton. Then the brigade fell back.
The fighting continued until dark.
The Japanese worked furiously all
night long and placed two batteries
on the vacated Russian position.
The fighting was resumed at 3 a m.
ON June 81. The Russians silenced
two japanese batteries, but the Japan
ese brought up train of big guns and
silenced the lighter Russian artillery,
which was again running out of am
munition, and the Russians were once
more forced to retire. The japanese
cavalry and infantry threatening to
surround the Russian position forced
general retreat.
The Russians carried off all their
guns and got revenge en- the Japanese
cavalry column, which was caught
in close formation and was shelled
with terrific effect, being forced to
scatter.

Williams Preside.

New York, June 27.-Members of
the Democratic national committee
now here say that John Sharp Will
Jams, Democratic leader in congress,
undoubtedly will be the temporary
chairman of the st. Louis convention
and will make keynote speech. II
is expected that his selection will be
determined upon when the national
committee gathers in st. Louis this
week. Senator Bailey has been men
toned for permanent chairman of the
convention, but it is believed to be un-
likely that both presiding officers will
be chosen from the South.

BIG NAVAL BATTLE
RUSSIAN FLEET MEETS JAPS OUT
SIDE PORT ARTHUR.
Togo Reports One Battleship Sunk
and Two Others Badly Dam
agcd--StOessel Makes Sortie and
Is Driven Back to Port FAR
thur.

Tokyo, June 27.-Tokyo Is in a fren-
zy of enthusiasm over the tremendous
naval victory won by the japanese
fleet under Admiral Togo at Port Ar
thur ON Thursday, fresh details OF
which are arriving hourly. One bat
tleship has been sunk, the Presviet, it
is believed. Another of the Sevastopol
type was seriously damaged. A cruis-
or of the Diana type was put out OF &C
ton and several torpedo boats were
sent to the bottom with all on board.
The entire fleets of both powers are
said to have been engaged, and a ma
val battle that will live in history was
fought in the gathering twilight. Dis
patches from eye-witnesses OF the en-
gagement say it was one OF the most
magnificent spectacles of the war.
Taken by surprise, it was some min
utes before the Russians got into ac-
ton, and then from both squadrons
tongues of flame belched, followed by
deafening reports which seemed to stir
the ocean to its depths. Both squad
rons were i'll motion, maneuvering
cautiously for the advantage, describ-
ing circles through the long swells of
the sea and pouring forth torrents OF
fire at minute intervals.
AS the night advanced searchlights
We're called into play, and across the
long shafts of light which they threw
at intervals darted kissing shells. 1t
was the torpedo boats of the Japanese
fleet that inflicted the greatest damage.
A torpedo struck the Peresviet midway
in the engagement and five minutes
later, with a roar like the explosion of
a magazine, she sank
A we'll aimed shell struck another
battleship, the name of which has not
been ascertained, justt abaft the boil
ers, and put her out of commission. A
cruiser was hit 10y a torpedo and dis
appeared toward Port Arthur, appar-
emily in "a sinking condition.
Meanwhile the smaller guns on the
Japanese ships were spreading havoc
among the torpedo boats of the enemy.
Slowly the Russians backed away from
the japanese ships, describing great
loops to keep out of range, and with
difficulty making the entrance to Port
Arthur, into which they retreated I'M
der cover of the guns of the fortress.
The Japanese causualties were few.

Admiral and 700 Men Lost.

Rome, June 27.-A dispatch from
Tokyo to the Gironale D'Italian says
that the Russian admiral, Prince
Uchtomsky, and 700 men were drown
ed when the battleship Peresviet was
torpedoed and sunk. The Japanese
lost six killed. -Four of the Japanese
torpedo boats were damaged.
A dispatch from Chefoo to the
Agenzia Liberal says Gen. Stoessel
made "a sortie from Port Arthur on
Friday, but was repulsed. Gen. Oku,
the Japanese commander, sent an en-
vOy to the Russian commander. The
envoy advised the Russian commander
to capitulate with the horrors of war.
The situation at Port Arthur is grave.
There is little to eat besides some rice
and bread. Chinese who are arriving
at Chefoo say the soldiers, sailors and
civilians are all showing palpab BILE
traces of suffering from famine.

From Tacoma.


Tacoma, June 27.-The sensation of
the day in railroad circles here is the
reported sale Of the Tacoma Eastern
railroad to the Chicago, Milwaukee x
st. Paul Company. Railroad men be-
lieve this same company is behind the
heavy dealsi n tide fiat property that

l.. r. Manning acted as agent in SCI
curing these options for mysterious
principal, and he refuses to give out
any information. The land ON which
options have been secured forms a
strip about 900 feet broad and a mile
and half long, leading from the har-
Dor line up the north shore of the

conversant with railroad construction
work say the options can only mean
that some road is quietly obtaining ter
minal facilities here. Edward Cook
ingham, president of the Tacoma East
ern, who is here from Portland, re-
fuses to be interviewed relative to the

TOLSTOY FLAYS GEAR.
Ten-Column Philippe Against Rus
sian Government and Churcb,

Ten-COlumn Philippe Against Rus
sian Government and Church,
London, June 27.-The Times prints
ten column dissertation on the Rus,
so-Japanese war, written by Count
Tolstoy in his most violent style. The
trend of this remarkable document is
first, against all war, but it is prin.
cipally thunderous philippe against
Russian government and the Russian
orthodox church and generally against
the existing order of things. Tolstoy
says the reservists throughout Russia
"are dissatisfied, gloomy and exasper-
ated, and that the old appeal for faith,
king and fatherland has lost all spell
over the Russian Masses
The ten columns breathe gloomy
forebodings and preach revolution,
TOlstoy holds the emperor up to con-
tempt las an unfortunate and entan-
gled young man, recognized as the
leader of 100, 900, 900 people continu-
ally deceived and compelled to contra
dict himself"
Tolstoy, however, does not stop with
Russia, for Japan is given share Of
his singing comments for having fore
IDLY resisted what he terms "the IN
provoked progression of Russia"
