BANNER 8A LVE mo** -*--»*iing salve in the world- CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1904 lilfl JAPS' DARING NIGHT ATTACK. Tokio, July 28.—1n a daring night attack against a Russian force esti mated at five divisions with 100 guns, Gen. Oku succeeded in driving thy enemy from their strong line of de fense south of Tatchekiao. The Japanese casualties before Tat chekiao were 800. Tien Tsin, July 28.—Gen. Kuroki and Gen. Nogi are endeavoring to form a junction so as to cut off Gen. Kuropatkln's army between I.iao Yang and Mukden. Gen. Kuroki's Headquarters in the Field, July 28. —Reports from the Russian lines agree that much fever and dysentery exists among the sol diers. It is the opinion that much sickness is caused from neglect of sanitary precautions in the Chinese towns occupied. Cabling under date of July 26 tlvi New Chwang correspondent of tho Daily Mail says: "The Japanese have not pursued th'i fleeting enemy, as they desire to co operate with the first army in a de cisive battle between Hai Cheng and Liao Yang which, even in the opinion of Russian officers, will result in a Russian defeat and will terminate the? campaign." Washington, July 2S.—The state de partment has received a formal pro test against the action of the Russian navy in seizing American goods and is prepared to act energetically. This protest relates to the seizure of an American cargo on board the Ham burg American steamer Arabia. SOMETHIN DOING ERE LONG. St. Petersburg. July 29. —A telegram received from Gen. Kuropatkin yester day announced that the position at the front has not changed. It is generally believed here that startling develop ments are imminent. All the war cor respondents have been ordered to Harbin. London, July 29. —Foreign Secretary Lansdowne has received assurances from the Russian government that full satisfaction will be given Great Brit ain in the matter of the sinking of the steamer Knight Commander. In the house of commons yesterday Premier Balfour said the acute stage of the Red Sea incidents had passed and that the Russian volunteer fleet vessels would be withdrawn. He laid down the British view that no bellig erent's warship could issue from 'he Black Sea and that the volunteer fH-et vessels in issuing therefrom, if they took belligerent action, either had no right to issue or no right to take such action. Tokio, July 29.—The Russians aban doned Tatchekiao at noon on July 25. retiring before the advancing army under Gen. Oku. They applied the torch to Tatchekiao and the surround ing towns and when the Japanese ar rived they found flames still raging. The Japanese pursuit extended be yond Tatchekiao and the Japanese left wing occupied Yinkow. The Japanese loss at Tatchekiao is estimated at from 4,000 to 5,000. The position held by the Russians last Sunday night south of Tatchekiao consisted of nine miles of trenches and fortifications. CAN IT BE TRUE? Shanghai, July 30. —A telegram re ceived here from Wei-Hai-Wei con firms the telegrams received here from Che Foo to the effect that Port Arthur has been captured. The Wei- Hai-Wei telegram says also that the British fleet, which has been cruising, will return there to-day. At Wei-Hai-Wei there is a British wireless telegraph station, and the British warships are equipped with this means of communication. It is possible that Wei-Hai-Wei has been in wireless communication with the fleet and that the information of the fall of Port Arthur was received in this man ner. London, July 30.—A dispatch to Reuter's Telegram Co. from Wei-Hai- Wei. dated Friday, says: "It is supposed here that Port Ar thur has been captured, as the British fleet is returning here to-morrow." Presumably this report is from the same source as the dispatch from Shanghai reporting a Wei-Hai-Wei rumor that Port Arthur has fallen. The only basis for the report known here is that when Russia no longer occupies Port Arthur the British, by the treaty, will evacuate Wei-Hai-Wei and the inference is that the British fleet is returning to Wei-Hai-Wei to remove the stores, etc., from that place. Not much credence is attached to the Wei-Hai-Wei report, though simi lar rumors are flooding the continent. Russia has filed a formal protest at the foreign office against British ship ments of contraband to Japan. Berlin, July 30.—Russia has agreed to fully indemnify German shippers and their consignees for any losses sustained by the seizures of German ships and the detention of the Prinz Heinrich's mail. An inquiry is now In progress to determine what claims shall be presented. Russia also agrees to restore and forward the contents of the two seized mail packages. The Fine Stands. St. Paul, Minn., July 30. —The state supreme court yesterday handed down a decision affirming the decision of the Jackson county district court, holding that a line of $20,000 assessed against William Poole and William Kerr for having illegally in their pos session 2,000 wild ducks was not ex cessive. The men were convicted in the Jackson county district court, afu r the ducks had been found in their pos session by the state game warden. They appealed on the ground that the fine of $lO apiece for the ducks was excessive. TRADE BULLETIN. Large Additions to the Army of Un employed Persons are Noted—Many Labor Disturbances. New York, July 30. —R. (I. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Confidence appears to be returning, despite a large addition to the army of unemployed. Labor disturbances are the most unfavorable factors In t.ho industrial and commercial situa tion at the present time, curtailing the output, of a few much needed products and reducing the demand for all com modities. Aside from this adverse in fluence the situation has Improved, al though progress is slow and frequent ly Interrupted. Another week has put much wheat and cotton beyond danger and brought other crops nearer ma turity. Dealers are providing for the future a little more freely, and in sev eral important branches of industry orders come forward in greater bulk. Owing to special conditions, the leading branches of manufacture do not make uniform progress, complica tions as to supplies of raw material making the current situation particu larly puzzling at the textile mills and shoe shops. Earnings of the railways thus far for July are 2." per cent. ler~ than last year. Failures this week numbered 220 in the United States, against ISO last year, and IS in Canada, compared with 19 a year ago. BOGUS CIGAR LABELS. A Chicago Judge Issues an Order For bidding Their Sale and Use. Chicago, July 30.—0n petition of George J. Thompson, secretary of the Cigarmakers' International I'nion of America, Judge Honore has issed an order forbidding further sales of al leged spurious cigars and labels and stopping the distribution ol' cigars in boxes bearing the alleged worthless labels. Mr. Thompson filed with his plea for an injunction a copy of a de cree declared to have been given in the federal courts at Washington, D. C., that I. I). Chamberlain, whose sig nature appears on the labels in ques tion, is no longer a member in* good standing in the Knights of Labor and that the branch of unionists Chamber lain heads has been outlawed by the true Knjghts of Labor. Met Thompson declares that thou sands of the labels he complains of have been printed in Chicago and have been sold to a number of non union cigarmakers ami dealers for ten cents a hundred. The use of this label, it is declared, would render use less the Cigarmakers' International union's annual expenditure of $50,003 in advertising union made goods. Tidings from a Missing Judge. New York, July 30.—A letter was received in this city Friday from ex- Judge Daniel McKoon, who mysteri ously disappeared three weeks ago, stating that he was in El Paso, Tex. The letter, which was addressed to Judge McKoon's son, was rambling and incoherent and indicated that the writer's mind was affected. It was reported at the time of Judge Mc- Koon's disappearance that he was held for ransom, but this view was not accepted by the police. Can Use War Balloons Now. Washington, July 30. —Yesterday marked the termination of the agree ment entered into by the powers at The Hague peace conference, to which Russia and Japan were signa tory, whereby the use of war balloons for throwing destructive explosives was prohibited for five years.
