1t should be pointed u that in Amer

Going upstairs he picked up one of
several bottles very much alike in ap-

contents in wine glass. He drank
a sup and discovered that he had
made a mistake. Quickly examining
the label on the bottle from which he
had poured, he ascertained that he had
swallowed a quantity of formaldehyde
sufficient to kill him. He ran to the top
of the stairs and excitedly called to his
wife, saying that he had taken poison
by mistake and asked her to call a
physician Immediately.
Mrs. Work ran to his assistance and
in a few seconds Mrs. McLain returned
with DR.. Dickinson, who resides across
the street from the McLain residence.
They placed McLain upon a bed and
attempted to relieve his sufferings and
counteract the effects of the poison,
but to no avail as he died in twenty
minutes after taking the dose. He was
unconscious for ten minutes before his
death.
He had purchased the poison three

progress. Meantime powerful, though
friendly, influence is being brought to
bear on Japan to be moderate in her
demands. 1t has been pointed out that
Japan and Russia must always be
close neighbors, and that If Japan is
unreasonable now in her great triumph
she might again be involved in war
with Russia. What effect these repre-
sentations may have on the mikado is,
of course, only conjectural.
Great Britain Wants Peace
Strong hopes were entertained here
, in the highest circles that London
could be relied on for active assist
ance in counseling moderation to
Japan. These hopes have not yet been
realized, although information has been
received that Great Britain will well
come peace. 1t is still hoped that
some assistance from that quarter may
yet be forthcoming. Berlin and Paris
are both giving loyal assistance to the
efforts initiated in Washington, and the
result of Berlin activity is already be-
ing felt. Further instructions have
been sent to Ambassador Meyer at
ST. Petersburg, but their character is

of having his office equipped with the

by having his subordinates respond to

The mayor at first was not taken
with the idea, but John O'Brien, his
private secretary, saw its possibilities.
He pointed out that the transmitting
pad could be attached to a shelf con-
nected with O'Brien's room, so that
when the mayor wanted siege raised
all he would have to do would be to jot
down call for assistance.
You see, it's this way" O'Brien ex-

There was no sign of the Japanese fleet
and the Russian ships were not cleared
for action, nor were the batteries
manned. The attack came with a sud-
denness that made the unpreparedneSS
of the. Russians. for battle a glaring
mistake that never could be corrected.
Two lines of torpedo boats suddenly
appeared and encircled the Russian
fleet. The rapid fire batteries were
turned loose but with apparently little
effect on the japanese boats. over
the approaching torpedo boats came a
hail of ten and thirteen-inch shells
from the Japanese war vessels in the
distance The torpedo boats immedi-
ately advanced at full speed, one dl-
vision going in a westerly and another
in an easterly direction.
The Russian cruisers and battleships
prepared to repel the attack. The
cruisers manned their port batteries
and the battleships their starboard bat
teries No attempt was made to pre-
pare the batteries on the other side of
the ships and it was here the Russians
blundered.
Charged Between the Lines
When the Japanese torpedo boats
came within firing distance the Rus
SLAMS opened fire. Then it was the
Japanese executed maneuver that
threw the Russians into confusion. The
two encircling lines met south of the
Russians, but instead of continuing
in that direction they turned at a sig
nal from Togo and at full speed
charged between the three lines of Rus
sian ships, one division passing be-
tween the cruisers and the line of hos
pital ships and transports, and another
division passing between the trans
ports and the battleships on the other
side.
The Russian ships were unprepared
for an attack of this character, and for
q time were helpless against the dis
charge of the Japanese torpedoes.
Hardly a cruiser or battleship remained
unscathed. The Russians were com
pletely demoralized, and during the
last dash of the torpedo boats not
shot was fired to stop them. In the
meantime Togo with his battleships and
cruisers encircled the Russian fleet and
with his big guns completed the work
of destruction.

Japanese Within Easy Striking Dis,
tance of Railway to vladivostok


Special Gable to The Herald.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 8-Start-
ling information is conveyed in pri-
vate telegram from Manchuria. 1t says
that the Japanese have occupied Omoso,
which commando the roads from Kirin
to Ninguta, Vladivostok and Korea.
The Japanese must have crossed the
Tumen river far inland so as to evade
the Russian outposts.
1t is alleged that the capture of
Omoso would imply the severance of
communications between Kirin and
Ninguta, and place Japan within easy
striking distance of the railway from
Harbin to Vladivostok.
Omoso is about 10 miles east Of Kir-
in, which is held by Gen. Linevitch's
left wing. 1t is about 15O miles from
the railway.
1t is not known whether the Japanese
force came from Possiet bay or wheth-
er it forms part of the advance guard
of Field Marshal Oyamas right. If 1t
maintains it's position Gen. Linevitch's
rear will be seriously threatened.
