they occupy a right-angled position,
one side parallel with the trailway and
three and half miles distant, and the
other facing northward three miles
north Of the imperial tombs. The Japa-
nese attacked the Russian positions
and forced the Russians to fall back
a little.
The battle Is in full progress at the
imperial tombs. A heavy cannonading
is in progress. causing the walls of the
houses here to tremble.
The Russian army is leaving posi-
tions south and southeast of Mukden.
The sky is lighted with the brilliant
glare of burning warehouses, where
tons OF commissary supplies have been
given to the flames. The retirement is
being effected in perfect order, the Rus
SLAMS beating off attacks OF pursuing
Japanese.
The withdrawal was necessitated by
a heavy concentration Of Japanese to
the west and northwest of Mukden,
whittier they have transferred a large
share of the forces from the southern
front to reinforce the original striking
force of General Nogi.
The Russians have retired somewhat
from the positions they occupied in the
region Of Tatchekiao, but are making a
strong stand against the force here.
The Russians also are holding the viii
lage. of Ushuntun. which at nightfall
was partly in the hands of the Rus
slams and partly in those Of the Japa-
nese. AT 2 o'clock this morning the
Russians succeeded in taking complete
possession Of the village which is Of
great strategical importance for the
successful accomplishment of with
| drawal.
No attack on the position at Madya-
pu, west of the railway, has begun at
this hour. The Japanese hold tho
heights FIVE miles west of Hushatai,
though Russian cavalry in this region
drove in outlying parties. Il is also
reported that there is a Japanese de-
tachment east Of the railway in the
same region.
Telegraphic communication with
Harbin was destroyed by the Japanese
yesterday. but has since been restored.
The Russians on Tuesday captured
500 prisoners. who appear TO be almost
exhausted
The losses on both sides have been
enormous. The casualties on the Rus
tian left flank on Tuesday exceeded
1000
The burning OF commissariat ware
houses and the destruction of supplies
south of Mukden. which has been in
progress for several days, is said by

Pikeville, Tenn, dispatch to the
Banner says that Charles Swofford,
nephew of w. L. Tollett, who was as
sassinated last Saturday has been ar
rested and placed in Jail at Pikeville.
Toilet had recently bought the hotel
at Pikeville and was on the way home
from the latter place Saturday morn
ing when he was fired on from the
roadside and killed. Dogs were put on
the trail and it is said tracked the
slayer of Toilet to the home of young
Swafford' s father, Esau Swofford.
The killing is supposed to have
grown out of transaction in which a
check figured, as a result of which
Tollett had Swafford arrested
Bad blood between families of the
name has existed since the war the
feeling reaching an acute stage in 1892
when either three or four men were

it is regarded possible that the recent

bitter feeling between the two famil-
les.

The Drama of the Department Store.

Here is point to ponder for those
who seek the cause of the waning of
domestic service. Miss Elizabeth How
ard Westwood writes in the August
New Idea Woman Magazine: But
the irresistible fascination of business
for women of all classes lies in the ma
ture of the life itself. The humblest
cash girl in department store leads
an intensely dramatic existence. I'm
derfed she may be. She may neglect
all the canons of good health. From
a material standpoint she may be an
object of pity. But for all that, her
hand is on the pulse of life, its throb
is hers to feel and see. She is part of
an industrial machine, huge, palpita
ting, magnetic. The salesladies she
admires, the foor-walker she obeys,
the buyers she envies, the head of the
firm she defies. When it comes to
knowledge Of the distinguished ems
omers, she is veritable, WHO'S Who
in America. With her peers, the
bunch, she swears eternal friend
ship, shares her troubles and retailS
her joys Nor is it necessary for hel
to be a stakeholder in the corporation
to feel keen pride in the progress Of
the store, while the sales and standing
of her own department are matter
of deep personal importance

BIG ELECTRIC PLANT
New York Capitalists to Furn-
ish All the Money Necess-
ary for the One on
Tennessee River.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 10.
J. c. Guild, one of the promoters of
the big electric power plant ON the
Tennessee River, nine. miles below
Chattanooga, returned to-day from
New York. Mr. Guild stated that
papers We're signed in New York last
week by which New York and Chica-
go capitalists bound themselves TO
furnish 81, 500, 900, or as much as need
ed to construct the plant. Bids for
the construction Of the plant will be
advertised for at once, and it is hoped
to have work begin within the next
few weeks.
Three great industries, one of them
a half-million dollar investment, are
figuring on coming to Chattanooga on
account of the cheap power which can
be secured here, and three fourths of
the industries already here are ex-
pected to change from steam to cleo
trio power when the new plant Is fin
ished.
