MONTANA NOTES.

MOntana's wool clip for this season
will aggregate slightly more than AZ.
100000 pounds, and of this amount
more than 25,000,000 pounds have
been contracted for on the sheeps
backs at prices averaging about q
cents pound. 1t is estimated that
there are 100000 sheep in Montana
and the average clip will be about six
pounds. Thus Montana sheepmen will
realize close to $9,000,00O for wool
alone, and as the price for mutton is
above the usual figure, the year will
be one of the most prosperous in the
history of the state so far as sheep
men are concerned.

A Big LAND BATTLE
GENERAL LINEVITCH REPORTS AN
ENGAGEMENT is ON.
Their Position Strongly Entrenched-
They Have Been Able to Keep Back
the Japs-Fied Marshal Oyama
Bringing Heavy Artilery-A Gen.
eraI Assault Expected.

ST Petersburg, May 23.-Advices
have been received by the general
staff from General Linevitch stating
that general engagement is in pro-
gress all along the line of the Rus
sian left flank and that two divisions
are engaged with the Japanese.
The Russian position is a strongly
entrenched one and up to the present
they have been able to hold their
own and beat back the repeated as
saults of the Japanese.
Up to nightfall Sunday the Russian
casualties were estimated at 500 and
those of the Japanese at about thrice
that number The Japanese, accord
ing to the report, are moving against
the entire Russian line although up to
the present the fighting has been con-
fined to the left. AS Oyama has NOV
ed quantities of heavy artillery into
position, it is expected the general as
sault will not be much longer delayed

Hongkong, May 21-The steamer
Arabia which arrived here Sunday
night reports having heard heavy can
nOnading off Pedro Blanco rocks, so
miles to the eastward of HOngkong.
Whether it was occasioned by war
ships at target practice or was an
encounter between Russian and Jap
anese vessels is not known. 1t is rum
ored in official circles that the Rus
sian Baltic fleet, comprising 40 arm
ored vessels, has successfully navi-
gated the Bashic channel. This report
is also uncOnfirmed. If true it is most
important, as it indicates that the
Russians have skillfully eluded Togo
and are in the Pacific ocean.
The Bashic channel lying as it does,
directly south of FOrmosa and sup
posed to be guarded by the Japanese
fleet, offered ROjestyensky an open
route to the Pacific ocean, where he
would be safe from attack by the
Japanese torpedo craft. This latter re-
port has created a sensation, and, if
true. will rebound immensely to the
credit of ROjestvensky.

Outcome of a Strike.

The strike started a week ago on
the Waikiki plantation on the other
side of Maui from Lahaina. The Jap
anese made a long list of demands
among them being the discharge of
the head overseer. All the demands
were rejected. On Friday the strike
spread to the Pioneer plantation. The
plantation Immediately began paying
off the striking Japanese, who then
commenced to stone the mill and re-
sisted all efforts of the mounted police
to drive them away. The Maui militia,
which was called out, restored order
temporarily.
Clash With Authorities.
Everything was peaceful late Satur-
day when the island steamer Kinau
left, but soon after the steamers de-
parture a clash between the Japanese
and the plantation police occurred. in
which shooting took place, and re-
suited in a general outbreak and the
imprisonment of the whites and the
militia in the courthouse by the Jap
anese.
Wireless messages were sent to
Honolulu asking for aid. A tug was
also sent through fear that the wire
less telegraph was not working. The
secretary of the Japanese consul ac-
companied the force on the steamer
Kinau. He will try to pacify the strik-
ing laborers.
The entire remaining police force of
Honolulu is on duty at the police
station tonight under Deputy Sheriff
Rawlings, although. there are no signs
of trouble on this island
Peaceful Settlement Expected.
A wireless telegram from Lahania
at o'clock tonight said that the situa-
ton was improved. Monday the Jap
anese laborers quoted down and
agreed to resume work next Wednes-
day. A peaceful settlement of the trou-
BILE is expected. A message to the
Japanese consul states that the strik-
ers were visiting the home of the
Japanese contractor when the police
interfered and shot three of them.
Hackfield & Co, the local agents of
the plantation, sent a message to the
plantation asking who shot the Japan
csc and received the reply that the
men who did the shooting were in
charge of Sheriff Baldwin. 1t was fur

colonel was describing in grand,
eloquent language, a cavalry charge
in which he participated and closed
by saying, cit can best be described
in the words of the poet:
With bray of the trumpet,
And roll of the drum
And keen ring of bugles,
The cavalry come.
Sharp clank the steel scabbards
The bride chains ring,
And foam from red nostrils
The wild chargers fling"
A gray-haired Yankee doughboy
(infantry man) arose and gravely
replied, "The effect of that charge
can also be best described in poetry.
They met few bullets
Saw our bayonets CLEAN,
And the fire from our muskets
That poured forth in a stream.
Saw the undaunted squares
Of our infantry boys,
And then galloped back
After making big noise"
