After the familiar passing through darkness into

there were the added illusions of color and sunlight

One of the men was Constantine, tall, sallow

showing an Oriental love of display by the pair

time to his adult knowl-

NO HOPE OF VICTORY.
Military Experts Don't Believe Line
witch Can Whip Oyama.

st. Petersburg, June 27.-The military
experts take anything but a hopeful
view of General Lineyitchs situation.
They do not believe he can be surround
ed but apparently the experts do not
consider the possibility of a Russian
victory. Linevitch's retirement to Har-
bin and the isolation OF VladiVOstok
seem to be regarded as ioregone con-
illusions when Field Marshal Oyama
strikes. According to the latest news
from the frone which is thirty-six hours
old, Oyama after forcing back the Rus
sian right and center transferred his
weight against the left compelling the
Russians to give ground there also. The
military critics, however, agree that the
frontal movement is merely a feint for
the development of one or both of the
Russian wings without which nothing
in the shape Of a. decisive victory is
possible. The impression is that Oyama,
profiting by past experience, is more
carefully preparing mis- turning opera
lions but by the same token the Russian
staff declares Linevitch has taken am
pie precautions to keep in touch with
fanking movements and that it is not
possible to take him by surprise.

York corporation. Mr.. Wallace was
asked the cause of his resignation. He
replied that he was in a delicate posi-

quesdoner to Secretary Taft.
New York, June 27.-The resignation
Of John F. Wallace Of Illinois, chief en-
Eineer of the Panama canal, is now in
the hands of President Roosevelt. ac-
cording to a statement today by the
Herald, which adds that it will be ac-
cepted today Or tomorrow. It is said

War Taft in this city after a rather
stormy conference. It is understood
that Engineer Wallace will at once take
charge Of a large railway system in this
country and that Theodore P. Shontz

commission.
AS to the cause Of Engineer Wallace's
resignation there are two versions, one
coming from friends Of some of the
canal commissioners, the other from

Of differences between the chief eng1-
neer. members Os the commission and

with hampering orders
THAT serious differences I'm the con-
duct of the work on the isthmus had
arisen between the chief engineer, the
administration and some members or
the canal board was known, says the
Herald. almost the first week after
lay in obtaining supplies, methods in
advancing the plans accordingto pro-
cedure at Washington, were all strange
to him, and became irksome.
Being chief engineer of the great
king, knowing that he would
be held responsible for failure, he in
sisted that he should be put in posi-
ton to have absolute control and OBJ
1ected to orders prohibiting his leav-
ing the isthmus unless he obtained
permission from the war department"
These matters are said to have been
discussed at the Sunday conference
with Secretary Taft which followed

which William Nelson Cromwell was
present Being a man of Independent
means, the $4,000 annual salary was

PRICES ARE HIGHER.
Bureau of Labor Figures Big Increase
in Cost of Living.

washington. June 27.-Prices of fuel
clothing and especially all food products
are constantly increasing, according to
a bulletin just issued by the bureau Of
labor, covering the period from 1890 to
1904 In a table of comparison, in which
teh average price for the years 1880 to
1895 is taken as the basis, 16 articles
of farm production, including sheep,
cattle, hay. hogs, hops and grains are
enumerated. All except f1axseed in
creased over the average price from 1890
to 1899. The increase in prices in 1901
ranges from rs per cent on sheep and
81 per cent on cattle to 3z6 per cent on
corn, 1858 per cent on oats, 1873 per cent
on wheat and the top increase of Sc. 2
per cent on New York state hops.
The average increase in 1904 in the
wholesale price of farm products over
the average for 1890 to 1899 is 26.2 per
cent. OF 81 articles included under the
head of food it is shown that the 1904
price of all except "A articles was higher
than the average price of the same from
1890 to 1899. Seventy articles under the
head of cloth and clothing show that the
average price for 1904 was 90 per cent
higher than the average from 1890 to
1899. The table on fuel and lighting
places the average 1904 price at 32.6 per
cent higher than the 1890 to 1899 price.

YAQUIS ON WAR PATH.
They Kill a Number Of Ranchers and
Women in Sonora.

san Francisco, June GA dis
patch to the Chronicle from Tucson,
Ariz, says: At least twelve ranchers
and several women and children nave
met death at the hands of a band OF a
hundred YaQui Indians who have been
raiding the country along the San
Miguel river in the Ures district OF
Sonora, and a party composed largely
OF American mining men headed BY
Joseph Dewitt, has gone out from
Pozo station to rescue the unfortunate
who are in danger of being massacred
by the Indians.
Dr. Frank J. Touissant, who has re-
turned from Ures, brought the news
Of the trouble which began last Fri
day. After several families had been
murdered by the Indians, ranchers
made determined stand at Buenos
Ayres ranch, where. aided by about
thirty employees, they succeeded in
repulsing the Indians, although Jesus
Ortong, proprietor of the place, his
brother Francisco, Luis Carranza,
proprietor of an adjoining ranch, and
several other neighbors died from
wounds received in the fight.
DR.. Touissant attended Carranza,
who was brought into Lachumatas
mining town, near where the night
took place Besieged AIexicans took
from the windows and roof. It is
thought that full twenty Indians were
killed, although the number can only
be estimated, as the savages carried
off the dead and wounded when they
retired.
The nearest armed force is station
ed at Ures and when DR.. Touissant
left Hermosillo they had been sent to
the scene of the outrages.
Five Yaquis taken just outside of

part in the massacres were immediate

so often, am afraid to try it. He as
sured US that the common carrier bill
was perfectly valid, so long as it was
before the esnate. but now he says
that it is no good. I am afraid he
would say the crude oil heating propo-
sition is no good after I once got it
installed"

he, that it will go from 20 to so bush
