THE BATTLES BEGINNING.
The JaPanese Operations at the Open
 ing of the Great Engagement.

With the Japanese left armies, via Tien Tsin, Wednesday, March 1, p. m.-The battle for which both armies have been preparing for four months began last night, when the Japanese troops stationed southward on the west bank of the Hun river swung in- to line. the main body arriving in po- sition before daylight. Early in the morning with the troops occupying the east bank of the Hun they advanced toward the Russian position under CO., yer of a terrific bombardment from the Japanese artillery on the east bank of the river Russian guns replied with out stopping the Japanese advance which continued firmly until the troops reached points south and southwest of , Chantan and neighboring villages on ly about a hundred yards from the Russian lines. The Russians at this i point had many machine guns and the advance ceased, the Japanese throwing up cover and waiting a favorable op- portunity to attack the Russian trenches.
 An advance was also made from the direction of ShantanDu and Liushukau against villages on the east bank of the | Hun opposite Chantan, and also from Litaiyentun and Apatai against the Russian positions north of those places, the Japanese still keeping up a heavy bombardment of all Russian po- sitions at this end of the line. The extreme left wing, which on Monday occupied a diagonal line from Shotze- nun to Kanama steadily advanced to Kanama, continued the line formed southwest of Chantan and probably attacked the strong Russian positions northwest of Chantan.

 tire Russian line began last night was continued this morning. the Japanese using the very high Port Arthur guns eleven inch howitzers, the largest ever used in field fighting. These were bombarding the Russian positions and Chinese villages in the Russian lines on both sides of the railroad and two to three miles north of the Shakhe river. doing great damage blowing Up villages and earthworks giving Gen eral Kuropatl1in's army a taste of the unpleasant features of the Port Ar thur siege. This bombardment was probably the heaviest ever known hundreds of guns of all sizes raining shells on the Russian positions, de- stroying the defenses and causing evil dent consternation among the Russian troops in the zone of the fire. The roar of the bombardment was incessant and was plainly heard miles away. The Russians did not respond except on their extreme right, where the Japan csc movement was taking place. They apparently were unable to reply. It was the first time they had remained silent for so long a time during the last focr months.
 It is considered probable that after the bombardment of the Russian posi- tions is completed a general attack will be pushed home along the entire line by the Japanese armies.

Sir: I have to inform you that on the second day of March. 1905. one James M. Herbert and Daniel Sullivan offered and promised to pay the un dersigned the sum of $500 to vote for Hon. Ava Adams for governor in the contest now pending before this joint convention. Of this sum said James NJ. Herbert paid s750. This money I have given to George Stidger, district attorney for the city and county of Denver, for his official use. I have also given him such information as he requires in his official capacity. I also desire to lay the matter before the people of this state, the senate and joint convention as it affects the ques tion now rending before this conven- tion.

 Silence fell upon the joint convention for several minutes after the reading of Senator Morgan's statement. Then Representative B. J. O'Connen, demo- crat, expressed surprise that the mem bers of the republican majority appar- ently did not propose to take any ac- ton on the charges and he moved that a committee of five be appohted by the chair to make a thorough investi- gation of the whole matter and report before the votes were taken in the contest. After a brief debate Iieuten- ant Governor Mcdonald named Sena- tor Coraforth and Representa- lives Sherwin and Bromley, Cre- publicans), and Senator Ballinger and Representative O'Connel (demo- crats) as the Investigating committee.

Two of the largest armies in recent times are now locked in a death struggle and in the opinion of the military men one side or the other cannot escape over whelming disaster With both wings bent backward. Kuropatkin's position appears desperate. but the issue is still in the balance. News of victory for him is only regarded as possible by his breaking through the enveloping lines.

While the intention Of reaching out

tanned in St. Paul official circles for

by it may be enabled to embark in To-

probability is that such an arrange

TAFT ORDER upheld
President fAVORS Open BUY.
ing OF SUPPLIES.
Not Only as a Matter of Economy,
but to Bring Trust nagnaieS
and Congress to Time-An OBJ
ieCt Lesson to the Country and
a Reminder to Congress-.

Washington, May 19.-Secretary
Tafts determination to purchase ma
chinery and supplies abroad for the
Panama canal whenever it is found
that the prices for similar commodities
are higher ct home, has carried con-
sternation into the camp of the stand
patters and heroic efforts are now be-
ing made to persuade the president to
rescind the plan.
Several mem bers IF his cabinet,
fearing the effect of misconstruction
of the idea upon the minds of the peo-
pie, have urged him to call Taft of,
but as yet he has not indicated any in
tention Of doing 80. Instead Of order
ing the war secretary to reconsider, the
president, the president is in full SYM
patty with the spirit Of the program,
which is meant to be a demand upon
the manufacturers to bring their prices
down to what are considered to be
profit making schedules.
1.-THE president is resolved to bring
the trust magnates to realization Of
their obligations to the people Of this
country" said a close friend of the
president, in commenting upon the sit
uation, land will accomplish that re-
suit even at the risk of bringing a
storm about his ears. He wishes to
make congress act on this question,
and the sooner action is taken the bet.
ter he will like it.
"There will be few supplies, rela-
lively speaking, purchased by the
canal commission between now and
the time congress meets. The presi-
dent hopes, however, that there will
be enough bought to serve as an object
lesson to the country on the subject in
hand. For instance. he believes it is
little short of criminal for the big
manufacturers to charge the home con-
sumers third more or double the price
for their goods that is charged the peo-
pie of Europe for the same products Of
factory and shop. The high protection
gentlemen will probably cry out very
loudly over what they will term the
outrage perpetrated upon the Ameri-
can workman but the people at large
understand who is perpetrating that
outrage. 1t Is the man who is selling
the product of their labor for twice
what it is worth here at home, and
still making good profit on sales
abroad.
1.-The president expects to receive
calls from great many protesting
magnates Of the party before this mat
ter is settled, but you may accept it as
a straight tip that he will not recede
an inch from his stand. This is in
line with his demand that the tariff
schedules be modified to meet present
day conditions, and he is very glad in
deed that the matter has been brought
up to emphasize his position.

BOYCOTT IN PROSPECT
China NAY Make Trade RepriSaIs on
Account of Exclusion Laws,

Account of Exclusion Laws.
Washington, May 17.-Information
has been received here that a breach
between China and. the United States,
likely to result in trade reprisals on
the part Of China, is certain, because
Of dissatisfaction in Peking over the
strict enforcement Of the Chinese ex-
clusion laws and the failure of this
government to agree to new treaty
more lenient in character.
State department officials here are
cognizant Of the fact that the Chinese
minister here has sent out circulars to
Chinese in all parts of the United
States. inviting them to furnish such
evidence as they may have of cases
where the exclusion laws were harshly
enforced against Chinese entering this
country. 1t is the disposition of the
immigration officials to get the Chinese
minister in trouble for his action. 1t
can De stated that, SO far as the state
department is concerned, Sir Cheng
Tung is acting clearly within his
rights. The developments, in fact, it
is said, merely serve to widen the
breach that already existed between
the legislative and treaty making pow
er, the senate, in the matter Of making
a new treaty with China. Secretary
Hay always manifested a desire to
grant certain concessions to China in
making the new treaty. His purpose
was defeated by the position taken by
Western senators and representatives,
who are bitterly opposed to making it
easier for Chinese, even Of better
GLASS, to enter this country.
