Lots on Both Sides Heavy Russians Lost Fifty Guns The Picket Won Brooklyn Handicap Ten Miners Suf focated Tyner and Barrett Acquit ted Dr. Griffith Drowned. The Japanese army swept the Rus slans from Kin Chou Thursday even ing and in a desperate night attack stormed the almost impregnable posi tion of the Russians on Nanshan bill, west of Tallenwan. Toklo dispatches state that the Jap anese lost 3,000 men in killed and wounded at Kin Chou, Nanshan and Tallenwan, while the Russian losses would exceed 2,000. The Russian resistance at Nanshan Mil was stubborn. The Japanose made a series of assaults before the Rus sians finally yielded the position. The Russians abandoned this hill at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, retreating to ward Nanquan Ling, where It is under stood a second line of defenses exist The Japanese forces were under fire for sixteen hours. The general stall at Toklo has received telegrams from commanders, commending the bravery and fortitude of their men. Nine successive times the Japanese charged the fortified heights In the face of a storm of death dealing mis siles and in their last effort they car ried the forts and trenches only after a bayonet to bayonet conflict with the Russians who mado a desperate de spairing struggle to beat back the ou comlng Japanese. The final assault of the Japanese, in which they at last succeeded in taking possession, was marked by the most desperate hand to hand encounter thai has thus far characterized the war. A Japanese officer of high rank made the following statement to the corre spondent of the press: "The Japanese, in attacking Kin Chou and Nanshan hill, had to fight against great odds. The Russians were In full command of the strategical ad vantages afforded by nature and these advantages were augmented by the newest inventions for defense. The forts on Nanshan hill were armed with heavy guns. The Japanese had only field guns, heavy guns being unavail able on account of the difficulties of transportation. Our army deserves great credit for having driven the Rus sians from this stronghold. It was a feat previously considered to have been Impossible. "I fear our losses have been heavy, but we have gained the strongest point barring our way to the Investment of Port Arthur." Japs l"SMIIes From Port Arthur. The Toklo . correspondent of the Dally Telegraph of London says he learns that the Japanese troops are now within 12 miles of Port Arthur and thnt the Russians suffered heavier casualties than the Japanese, who have taken guns and other material and a few prisoners. He predicts, a further surprise as Japan now Is in creasing her efforts in all directions. The Toklo correspondent of the Dally Chronicle says that the Japanese captured many guns at Kin Chou. For Reduction of Port Arthur.' The London Dally Mail's corres pondnnt at Shimonsekl, Japan, asserts that active preparations are in pr gress for the reduction of Port Arthui and that these preparations will bo entrusted to a carefully chosen force of veterans forming part of the third army. Very heavy artillery, the cor respondent says is being landed on the Llao Tung peninsula. There is continual skirmishing be tween the Russian cavalry and the Japanese near Llao Yang. Cossackb are harraoslng the Japanese in the hills and by roads, generally driving them back. The general plan of the Japanese has not been divulged. They apparent ly are marking time, awaiting the ar rival of reserves from Corea who have been delayed owing to the impassa billty of the roads. , Correspondents Not Allowed at Front. The secretary of state at Washing ton, D. C, has received the following cablegram from Ambassador McCor mlck at St. Petersburg: "I am inform ed by the foreign office that foreign correspondents will not be admitted to the front, by order of 'the genera! commanding.

Mean while Holgerson on The Picket was riding a good cool race and in the stretch he moved up on the rail and gradually closing on the leader got up and won by a neck in a hard drive. The handicap was worth $20,000, of which $2,500 went to the second horse and $1,500 to the third. There were 16 thoroughbreds entered, four or five of which have recorded great classic victories during the past two years. Time for the race 2:00, was a hot record breaker.

On nearly the same spot, on Nov. 19. 18C3, President Lincoln delivered the Immortal address enunciating principles which have rung around the world for more than a third of a cen tury. President Roosevelt was escorted to the cemetery on the battlefield by a body of several hundred veterans of the civil war. Tbs president and bis special escort were preceded by sev eral organizations including a squaci ron of United States cavalry, the Third United States artillery and the Marine band of Washington, which bad been ordered here for the occasion. Mrs. Roosevelt and other members of the president's party followed in carriages The rear of the procession consisted of civic organizations and citizens in cat riages.

A R. had been concluded and the pupils of the public schools had strewn flow ers over the graves of the thousands of dead, during which ceremony the Marine band played a solemn dirge. Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, chap lain of the United States senate, pro nounced the invocation. The preal dent was then introduced by Governor Pennypacker. His introductory remarks were as follows: "The place where we now are has won a double distinction. Here was fought one of the great battles of all time, and here was spoken one of the few speeches which shall last through the ages. "As long as this republic endures or its history is known, so long shall the memory of the battle of Gettysburg likewise endure and be known; and as long as the English tongue is under stood, no long shall Abraham Lin coin's Gettysburg speech thrill the hearts of mankind." The ceremony was concluded by an address by Hon. Eugene F. Ware, commissioner of pensions, and a bene diction by Rev. Dr. Clutz. The drive over the battlefield occu pied three hours and a quarter. The president expressed the deepest in terest in various incidents recounted by General O, O. Howard and General Daniel E. Slckels, both of whom par ticipated in the three days' engage ment on Little Round Top, where a prolonged stop was made. Generals Howard and Sickels suc cinctly described the battle, the presi dent, Mrs. Roosevelt and the entire party listening attentively to tne graphic word pictures the two dis tinguished veterans drew of the sit uations as they arose during the bat tle. At the president's request Gen eral Slckels pointed out where he re ceived the wound which cost him his right leg. While Generals Howard and Slckels were talking Major Robblns, who served as a major in the Fourth Ala bama in Law's brigade during the see ond and third days of the fighting, joined the party and greeted the pres ident. He was recognized instantly by General Slckels, who remarked eagerly: "There is the fellow who tried to take the pill, but found it too hot." "Yes," responded Major Robblns, "we charged up this hill, but you mowed us down like grass. We couldn't stand It and had to get back." The major then recounted some in teresting details of the part of the con test In which he participated. Afier hearing cross 'fire of graphic descrip tions from the Union and Confedeiate participants President Roosevelt re marked: "This country Is all right so long as we can have this kind of a talk on Little Round Top."

Matthew Stau ley Quay died at 2:48 Saturday after noon at his home in Beaver. The same house has witnessed his triumph ant political career. He passed away as peacefully as a child. His wife, hli sons and daughters, and his brothei stood by his bedside, but be knew it not His form was wasted until the stock, lly built senator was a mere shadow. Recently although Senator Quay wab In the valley of the shadow of death, his physician and relative continued to give out reports to the effect that his condition was not dangerous. Dr. Lawrence Litchfield apologized for this by saying: "The senator each day in slated on reading the dally newspapers. We tried to keep them from him. This made him peevish. We did not want him to learn his true condition through the newspapers, hence we bad to say that he was getting better in the hope of cheering him up." Friday evening Senator Quay be came so weakened that he entered Into a stupor from which he failed to awaken. It was while in this stupor and the physicians were notifying his friends that he was sleeping that o gen was being administered to restore him to consciousness. Senator Quay for the last year re peatedly had advised his friends thai he had not much longer to live. Oi' his last visit to the White House be fore he left for Atlantic City, he as sured President Roosevelt that ho would never see him again. He ad vised the president that he did not ex pect to recover, although the presi dent tried to cheer him in his usual lively manner. On meeting Attorney General Knox, he gave him the same pessimistic view of his condition and told him that it was his last good-by. For the last year Senator Quay had been madly racing about to regain the flesh he was gradually losing. Ho began the chase In the Maine woods a year ago. He tramped canoed, fished and sought to live in the open air. He became bronzed and his face gave evi dence of a strong constitution, but he lost weight. This worried him. He began weighing himself daily Each month the scales told him of b'.3 gradual dissolution. He knew the in evltablo was coming better than those who doctored and cheered him. Like an Indian he waited for death aut! Joked about the end. Last Thurs lay he asked to be taken into his library. "I want to see my books once mora before I die." He said he wanted the volumes, read a line here and there, surveyed them lovingly ond longingly as If he would take them with hlni. 8YSTEM OF TUNNELS. Magnificent Plan For Removing Con gestion From Pittsburg Streets. Pittsburg, May 30. Ralph E. Fllnti, John S. Weller. counsel for Mr. Film;, and David O. Jones of Booth & FUnn are seeking a charter for a magniil cent system of tunnels under the prin cipal streets of Pittsburg for the de livery of freight. The application will be made on Juno 10 at Harrlsburg and the com pany will be known as the Freight Tun nel company. The authorized tunnels are to underlie every important down town street The proposition has its origin In the similar plan which Is Jui?t being com pleted In Chicago. As built In Chicago, the tunnels are about seven feet square. In them are operated freight cars propelled by electric power ap plied by the cog system. Theso cars will deliver freight from the railroads and factories to various parts of the city. The project means the removal of hundreds of teams from Pittsburg sheets and tie consequent freeing o the downtown thoroughfares from much of the congestion that makes life and limb unsafo at certain hours of the day. Lehigh Valley Dividend. Philadelphia, May 30. A banke: closely related to the Lehigh Valley says: "I believe that Lehigh Valley will show a surplus for April of $500,000. The continued large earnings of the company certainly points to the decla ration of a dividend at the July bourd meeting. The lake carriers' strike, even if no settlement should be in sight, when the Lehigh Valley direc tors meet, can hardly furnish ground for postponing a dividend distribu tion."

McLane of this city shot and kliled himself In his bedroom at his resi dence, No. 29 West Preston street. Hli bride of less than two weeks was at the time of the tragedy asleep in au adjoining room and was awakened by the discharge of the revolver which Mr. McLane evidently fired while standing before the mirror of the dressing case. The bullet entered the right templo and crashing through the head es caped in the rear of the left ear. Mis. McLane and other members of the household rushed to the mayor's as sistance, but he did not regain con sciousness after he fell to the floor, and expired within an hour. A num ber of physicians who were Immediate ly summoned at once expressed the opinion that the wound necessarily was fatal. No cause can be assigned for the act. Since the fire of last February he has been kept assiduously at work administering the affairs of the city, besides endeavoring to direct the re habilitation and rebuilding of the burned district. This, together with criticisms by his political opponents, is thought by many to have caused a temporary aberration of mind. Coroner Benjamin F. Hayden signed a certificate giving suicide as the cause of death, and the remains were turned over to an undertaking firm to be prepared for burial. Mayor McLane was elected as a Democrat to the office of chief magis trate of the municipality in May ol last year, for a term of four years. Under the city charter he will be suc ceeded by E. Clay Tlmanus, Rep., presi dent of the second branch of the city council, to serve out the unexpired term. The second branch of the coun cil, which is Republican, will elect a president, not necessarily a member of the present body, to preside over its deliberation. Mayor McLane was 3G years old, the youngest chief executive Baltimore ever had. He was the son of James L. McLane, president of the First Na tional bank and nephew of Robert M. McLane, former governor of Maryland and United States minister to France during President Cleveland's first ad ministration. Previous to his election as mayor he had for four years filled the office of state's attorney, In which he bad din llngulshcd himself by a zealous and Intelligent discharge of his duties. During his brief administration of the mayoralty office he had brought upon himself tho antagonism of the regmar Democratic organization by the ap pointment of Independent members of the party. Recently there has boon marked opposition to him among Democratic members of the city coun cil In matters relating to the rebuild lng of Baltimore and this Is ascribed by many as a contributory causo of suicide. Mayor McLane was married two weeks ago to Mrs. Mary Van Bibber a wellknown and popular society lead er of Baltimore, and the newly made bride is prostrated by the terrlole tragedy. The dead mayor was very popular among the people generally, irrespec tive of party, and the whole com munity has been profoundly shocked by his tragic end. KANSAS FLOODS.
