AN IMPORTANT MOVE
Japanese Troops Land on thc IsIani
of Shalsliasin

st. Petersburg. July S.---7:50 d. m.
A landing Cf japanese troops on the
island of Shakhalin was officially re-
ported tonight and startled military
circles in st. Petersburg though It
had beer realized since the defeat of
Admiral Roiestvensky that the Japa-
nese were able To take possession of
Island as soon as they thought At. The
strength CT the landing force cannot
be ascertained. but the garrison of
the island is too weak to offer an effec-
tive defense.
The Japanese feet covering the
landing of troops on the island con-
sisted of two battleships. seven cruis-
ers. three Punboats. thirty-six torpedo
boats anG ten transports loaded with
troops. Thew landed at the village OF
Me@re. fetwcen Chipivan and korsa-
kovsk. The commander of the Rus
sian detachment of troops at Korsa-
koNsk ordered the coast defence guns
TO be blown up and all the govern
ment buildings burned before retiring
Though the japanese seem unwil-
ling to risk q grand battle with Cen
ing 1T Washington the landing OF
troops on SaRhalin Is considered To
EXPRESS Japan's decision regarding the
formal conclusion If a general armis-
ticc. nameiv. tina: i'm thu int-.rya. be-

to have contract signed which would
show that Van Riper had paid TO
Holmes large sum Of money for the
mining property. IN order that Holmes
might be able to account fer the pos

says he knows that Holmes received
very large amount prior to the sign
ing of the contract and he believes it
was not fer mining or other property.
HAD ACCESS TO ALL REPORTS.
Secretary Wilson says there seems
t" be every reason to believe from the
report of Secre. Service agents that
Holmes could have given approxi-
1nately correct Information anywhere
from one to three days in advance of
the pu5hca ton of the officia. report.
Euring nearly the entire cotton re-
PORTING season of 1908 Holmes was
ir charge of the bureau Of statistics in
the absence of Chief Statistician Hyde
who was in Europe. Since that time
he has had access to the reports OF
field agents VINO furnish the data upon
which the cotton reports are based.
the most important of these reports,
come from Field Agent p. G. White.
and from. the several state agents to
all of which Holmes has had access.
1t was found that alterations had
been made III the figures Of Mr..
Whites report for October g. 1908,
and that these alterations appeared to
be in Holmes hadwriting.
Secretary Wilson says q large num-
her of persons made statements of
ob "a of,
and incapable Of verification, and for
this reason they were not made 1t part
of his report, which is intended to
deal with facts only.
