gave dry majority Of 1873. leaving a
scant majority Of 81 votes for the
whisky people.

lively engaged in a movement by both
land and sea against the German con-
cession of Kiau Che In Shantung pro-
vince, China. China troops are said to
have blown up bridges and are resist
ing the Japanese INVASION OF Shantung.
Reports from the Russian campaign
against Germany and Austria are that
both armies are having a temporary
cessation of hostilities while getting
their vast armies into position for a
resumption of battle and are preparing
their lines for both offensive and de-
fensive operations.
Late reports issued from London re-
port the German right wing broken and
the allies pursuing the fleeing automo-
biles, French said to have surrounded
Germany;in Somme, extending their
own lines farther east. Peronne is al
so said to have been recaptured. Her.
culsan efforts are being made to retake
