G.. Nicolay, and ranking as the most
comprehensive and authoritative biog-
raphy of Lincoln.
On several occasions, owing to ill.,
ness, Secretary Hay has proposed to
tender his resignation, but owing to
the large number of important matters
connected with his department, he has
been prevailed upon to remain. 1t was
definitely stated in the early part of
April that Secretary Hay had deter
mined not to return to the state depart
ment, but to retire from official life.
The same pressure that had been
brought to bear upon him before was
again exercised, and yielding to the
solicitation of the president and his
friends Secretary Hay again yielded to
the earnest demands upon his rare in
telligence. On June 10, Mr.. Hay ar
rived in New York from Europe, and
his condition was reported as having
been much improved by his sojourn
abroad.
Secretary Hay left Washington last
Friday for his summer home on Lake
Sunapee. He had been in Washington
since the Monday after his return from
Europe. During his brief stay in Wash
ington Mr.. Hay attended actively to
business before the state department,
and had several interviews with the
president on important pending ques-
tions.

VICTORY FOR LINEVITCH
IS NOT considered

St. Petersburg, June 28.-A rumor
spread throughout the city last night
that Gen. Kuropatkin had been killed.
The rumor was connected sometimes
with a report that 10000 Russians
had been cut off by Gen. Nogi's army
and that Kuropatkin had been taken
prisoner.
Nothing confirmatory of these ru-
mors has been received either by the
general staff or in press dispatches.
The members of the general staff say
that no reports of special Importance
have been received. A report received
from Gen. Linevitch indicates that the
Japanese advance continues steadily,
and that the Russian van posts, under
pressure, are retiring fighting.
The military experts take anything
but hopeful view Of Gen. Linevitch's
position. They do not believe he can
be surrounded, but apparently the ex-
perts do not consider the possibility Of
Russian victory. Linevitoh's retire.

shall Oyama strikes.
The latest news from the front,
which is sc hours old, says Oyama,
after forcing back the Russian right
and center, transferred his weight
against the left, compelling the Rus,
slams to give ground there also. The
military critics, however, agree that
the frontal movement is merely feint
for the enveloping Of one or both of
the Russian wings, without which
nothing in the shape of decisive VIC
tory is possible.
The impression among military ex-
perts is that Oyama, profiting by past
experiences, is more carefully prepar-
ing his turning operations, but by the
same token the Russian staff declares
that Linevitch has taken ample pre-
cautions to keep in touch with thanking
movements and that it is not possible
to take him by surprise.

Olympia, June 28.-The attorney

steps to enforce the provisions of the
state enabling act against the lease or
acquiring by any one individual, firm
or corporation of more than GAO acres
of land.
Ralph Kalfmann, an attorney of Ell

Central Washington, who contend that
the big cattle firms have been able to
corral large tracts Of state lands, is
now in this city for the purpose above
stated.
If the attorney general will not act
upon the request. interested parties
will appeal to the federal courts to
have the leases set aside as in conflict
with the law creating this state and
granting it certain lands.
