When child had a very severe at.
tack of Diphtheria, which came near prov
ing fatal. Upon recovery the glands of the
neck were very much enlarged, and after
the free use of iodine, the right one was
reduced to its normal size, but the left
one continued to grow-very slowly at
first, until it was about the size of goose
egg, which began to press on the wind
pipe, causing difficult breathing, and be-
came very painful. An incision was made
and large quantity of pus discharged.
The gland was removed, or as much as
could with safety be taken out. For ten
years wore a little piece of cloth about an
inch long in my neck to keep the place
open. During this time had to have it
cut open by the doctor every time took

cAPEs PURsuERs AND AR
RivES IN PORT.

Washington, June 1.-The Japanese
legation has received the following re-
port from Toxic:
1T is officially announced that In
the last naval battle the damage sus-
tanned by our feet was very slight and
none Of our battleships, cruisers, de-
stroyers and other ships was lost ex-
cept three torpedo boats.
Under imperial command Admiral
Togo was authorized to permit Nebo-
gatoff to submit to the czar the reports
ON the last battle and list of Russian
killed. wounded and prisoners. The
admiral was also authorized to release
on parole the surrendered officers OF
the Nicholai l., Orel. Apraxine and
Senyavin.
"Rojestvensky was taken to Sasebo
naval hospital. No other admiral was
captured from the Biedevy, the last re-
port In this respect being due to cler-
1cal error"
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1905-06-01

ure the Changed situation OF the bel
ligerents In the Far East and the con-
sequent possibilities of peace. The
view at present is that the Russian
government will not ask for peace and
that the war will go on, bringing with
1t most probably fresh humiliations,
but not at once the supreme humilia-
ton OF asking for mercy. The consid-
erations that hold the Russian govern
ment to enduring whatever may yet
come are the reasons which kept the
emperor from yielding after the former
great reverses, namely, that the vital
parts of the Russian empire are not
yet touched, that the war SO far has
only been a colonial war and that
Russia may yet attain superiority on
land and thus save the dynasty and
Russia from a final and historic hui
initiation. Although 1t Is impossible
for military men here to believe that
Russia can win on land it is equally
difficult for those following the higher
political lines of thought in Russia to
believe that Emperor Nicholas will
ask for peace. The conviction at the
Berlin court Is that the Russian en-
peror believes I'm the righteousness Of
his cause and his unlimited powers of
passive resistance.

DISTINCT HOPE OF PEACE.
Feeling Entertained In French Govern

Feeling Entertained in French Govern
ment Circles.
Paris, June 1.-Governmenta quar-
ters here for the first time entertain
distinct hope of peace. This hope is
not strong, but 1t Is something more
than mere deduction from the result OF
the recent naval battle. What 1t is
based upon Is not known outside OF
those intimately conyersant with Rus
sia's intentions, but 1t Is significant
that hope now prevails in high quar-
ters that the peace efforts may not be
futile. 1t is said, however, that every
thing depends upon small circle very
closely identified with Emperor Mich
olas, who, 1t is recognized, must have
the final word despite any other infiu-
ence favorable to peace.
Concerning the reports of the possi-
BILE Intervention of the powers 1t is
said that the time has not yet arrived
for such movement, which might en-
barrass the pacific tendencies already
developing In Russia. AT the same
time the view prevails that moral in
fiuences in France. Great Britain and
the United States stand for peace.
while the interests of Germany incline
towards q prolongation of the war.

Reach viadivostok.

Vladi sostok, June 1.-THE Russian
protected cruiser Almaz and the tor
pedo boat Grozny have arrived here.
Officers of the Almaz and the Grozny
say that both fleets had already suf-
fered terrible losses when the Almaz
and Grozny broke through the hostile
line
OF the Japanese two battleships had
gone down before their eyes and two
cruisers, their sterns high out of the
water, seemed ready to plunge fore
most to the bottom of the sea.
The Russian fleet they say was even
in a sadder plight Rojestyensky's
flagship. the Prince Souv'l~f, and her
sister ship, the BoroC - and the
cruisers Osliabia and Orel were utterly
destroyed and when x:e fog closed
down and hid the scene of battle from
sight northward of the speeding ships
third great Russian battleship, the
Alexander ILL.,, seemed In sore distress,
but limpjng northward, putting up
valiant fight against throngs of tor
pedo boats and still continuing her at
tacks ON the cruisers of the Island
empire. Torpedo boats were also
clinging round the other ships of the
feet like angered wasps, separate fio-
tillas darting In again and again to
launch their weapons.
The swift cruiser Almaz bears scars
of the battle. Her mizzenmast is shot
away and one of her smokestacks Is
pierced by a cannon shot. But the
Grozny, though engaged for several
hours in a running fight at short range
with large japanese destroyer, shows
no signs of the fray. After her COM
mander, Captain Andriffski. had been
wounded and an officer and three men
had been killed the Grozny succeeded
In sinking her opponent with lucky
placed shot and reached Vladivostok
without further adventure.
