from Otaru says that the Russians
defeated at Dalin were about 500
strong, with six field guns and three
machine guns, and taking the fullest
advantage Of the typographical char
acter of the district offered the most
desperate resistance. The Russian
positions were hidden among a thick
forest and it was impossible for the
Japanese gunners to make a correct
observation. The cannonade, how
ever, was opened by the Japanese at
6 o'clock on the morning of July Z
and was kept up until dusk. The
Japanese infantry, gradually gaining
ground, closed in on the enemy's line
Of defense and awaited an opportunity
for the final charge. It was nearly
two hours past midnight when the en-
emy's first line of defense, strength
saed by barricades and trenches, was
taken. This success was vigorously
followed up, but it was not until
o'clock on the morning Of July 8 that
the enemy was driven out Of the Sec
ond line Of his defense and victory
secured, with trophies of four field
and one machine gun. The nature Of
the ground placed the Japanese assail.
ants at great disadvantage.

The house was packed in every part.
Much excitement was visible on all
sides and there was a disposition to
view the defeat of the government as
more serious than it was regarded in
the earlier hours. Immediately after
the house had assembled Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman, the Liberal lead
or, moved its adjournment, declaring
that it would be unseemly under the
circumstances to proceed with bust
ness while the government was con-
sidering its position. Premier Balfour,
however, declined to adjourn the house
until the bill dealing with the differ
ences of the Scottish United Free
church and the Free church had been
passed. This was quickly accom-
plished, the house rose and the ex-
cited members swarmed into the lob
bies eagerly discussing the probable
decision of the cabinet on the question
Of resigning.
The view that the government will
resign, however, is not held in circles
generally we'll informed of the govern
ment's intentions and it Is reiterated
that the resignation of the Balfour
ministry is not likely in view of the
almost practical certainty that the
government will be rehabilitated by
its normal majority on the trial Of

ton formally challenged the ministry.

BIDS FOR CANAL LABOR.
Panama Commission Seeks Two Thou

Washington, July 22.-The first at

bers for work in connection with the
construction of the Panama canal will
be made shortly when bids will be
asked by the Panama canal commits
sion for 1000 each of Chinese, Japa-
nese and Italian laborers.
Those who compete for furnishing
these laborers will be required to sub
nit bids first as to the amount per
day for which the laborers of certain
nationality will work and also bids
stating the amount the government
will be required to pay to get the la
borers on the isthmus of Panama. In
this latter item will be included, par
ticularly in the case of Chinese, an
amount Of money advanced to the fam
lily of the Chinaman for maintenance
until the wageearner can remit for
this purpose from his earnings; the
amount of the transportation and nee
essary incidental funds to defray the
expenses of the journey.
1t is not the purpose of the commits
sion to make contract with any bid
der for labor which will preclude the
government making direct and individ-
ual appointments with each of the Ia
borers furnished. This precaution Is
taken to avoid any semblance or posi-
bility of involuntary servitude. Under
the plan proposed the contractor will
land his laborers on the isthmus.
These -laborers will then personally
apply for appointment, stating the
amount for which they will work.
