over the sand at night and stole the
rifles in the Russian trenches.
On January 20 the attacking force was
divided into three columns, one of them
under command of Col. kuropatkin, since
famous as commander-in-chiefo of the Rus
sian army in Manchuria. and at daylight a
combined attack was made. The mines
were sprung and tore great gaps in the
mud walls. through which the Russian
troops entered with bands playing the
Russian national anthem, drums beating
and colors flying.
They were promptly engaged in ter
rife hand-to-hand fight with bayonets
and swords. The Tekkes fought with
amazing courage, but their pride was
shocked and their confidence was de-
stroyed by the ease with which the Rus
slams had battered down their defenses.
Within two or three hours after the at
tack began thousands of fugitives
streamed out of the gates upon the plains,
with troops of Cossacks and other Rus
sian cavalry pursuing them and cutting
them down.

Finally the rear paddle missed the wa

Indian In the bow started back to re-

on the gunwale, he capsized the canoe.
The Mayfower lowered a boat and
picked up the Indians, and a rowboat
from shore took them in charge They
were entirely sober by this time. The

Skobelef Plans Attack.

felt" the Turkoman position, as mill
tary writer's say, and then retired to the
Caspian, where he completed his plans
and preparations. In January he return
ed with seven thousand men and sixty
guns and pitched his camp about mile
from the fortress.
For three weeks there was casual fight
ing. The Turkomen, impatient Of the de-
Law and irritated by the peril that sur
rounded them, made four desperate sallie
upon the Russian camp under the cover
of darkness, and kept up a continual
fusillade upon the earthworks that had
been thrown up around them.
The Russians easily repealed their at
lacks and occasionally answered their
fire, but made no offensive demonstra-
ton and continued to push their lines
forward until they were so close that
conversation could be heard on either
side.

RECOMMEND CANDIDATES
ASSEMBLY" REPUBLICANS IN
OREGON HOLD MEETING.
Faction of Party Opposed to Election
OF United States Senators
by People.

PORTLAND, Ore, July 22-Eleven
hundred republicans, self-styled the "as-
sembly,' and representing the factions of
the republican party in Oregon opposed
to the election of United States senator's
by the people under the Oregon svs-
tenn, yesterday met here and recon-
mended candidates for the republican
nomination as representatives in Con-
gress and for various state Offices. Act
ing Gov. Jay Bowerman of Condor. was
recommended as candidate for goyernor
Representatives w. c. Hawley and w.
r. Ellis were recommended for re-e,ec-
ton.
The anti-assembly republicans-the fac
ton which favors the Oregon system,
or voting on senatorial candidates-is
just as bitter and apparently just as
! ready to lock horns as the "assembly''
| faction. 1t is admitted by both factions
that on the result OF the November cleo.
ton stands or falls the Oregon system"
in this state.
Opposition Not Organized.
The opposition to the assembly is not
organized, and it cannot be, for the anti
assembly republicans are opposed to the
principle of party assemblages whose OBJ
| ject Is to suggest candidates for nomina-
ton. They contend that the assembly is,
in reality, an attempt to return to the
old convention method of nominating a
| ticket and that it's real purpose is the
| destruction of the direct primary.
| There are. nevertheless. already suffi-
cient anti-assembly candidates for nomi-
| nation in the field to insure politically
complete anti-assembly primary tickets
| throughout the state
| While openly asserting that it has for
| its main object the slaughter of the
| Oregon. system" the ASSEMBLY fac
| ton also contends that its second i'm
| portant purpose is to suggest for nomina-
ton suitable candidates for Office - in
other words, to invite men of ability to
accept nomination for office They deny
they are opposed to the direct primary
