Japanese Also Capture Fifty Russian Prisoners. The Tokyo co:respondent of the Lon- don Daily Chronicle, under date of July 8, says that the Japanese captur- ed over 10 guns and 50 prisoners near Kaichau. After severe fighting. General Oku occupied Kai-Ping Friday. The Russian war office confirms the reports of the Japanese advance to- ward Kai-Chou, but is inclined to re- gard the movement as a demonstration south while changing the disposition of troops to make an attack elsewhere. Danger is considered more likely from the direction of Ta or Fen-Shui passes, although there is no sign of a meve in force thence. Yet the advance upon Kai-Chou extends over a front of 15 miles and includes about 30,000 men. The Japanse center is at Tai-Si-Shan, on the Choui river, eight miles south- east of Kai-Chou. Constant skirmish- ing with Generals Samsonoff and Chirikoff is occurring as the Japanese move forward along the railroad and from the Siu-Yen mountains. Desperate Hand-to-Hand Fight. Supplemental dispatches indicate that the fight at Motienling pass July 4 was a desperate hand-to-hand en- counter. A majority of the Japanese injured were wounded by bayonets. The Russians surrounded the outposts of the Japanese, who fought until re- lief came. The Russians left 53 dead 40 wounded on the field. The Ja- se lost 19 killed and 38 wounded. i the Russians sustained and the enjoyment of all rights and privileges open te them under the covenants of our treaties of friendship and commerce.

Nearly 10,000 people assembled in Loomis park, Jackson, Mich., to cele brate the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the Republican party “Under the Oaks” in that city July 6, 1854. It was here on that date that the first State convention acting under the name “Republican” was held.

DEPRESSION [IS DISCUSSED. Cotton Factors Agree That Something | Must Be Done. The depression in the cotton manu- facturing industry was considered at length at a meeting of Fall River treas- arers, representing 1,500,000 spindles put of a total of nearly 3,000,000, and at the conclusion of the discussion a committee was appointed to consider the best method of meeting the situa- tion. As recent attempts to act in unison | have not met with success, it is] thought that a reorganization of the manufacturers’ association will be un- lertaken. Six weeks ago a plan to de- crease the cost of production by cut- ting wages was defeated through the Inability to agree. Few of the mills are in operation and the production for three months has not been much above two-thirds of the normal. More Norge Passengers Saved. Nineteen more survivors of the wrecked Danish steamer Norge, picked up from a boat by a sailing ship, have been landed at Thorehavn, Faroe Is- lands. Another boat with Norge sur- vivors, 11 passengers, eight sailors and one child, has reached the Shetland Islands. This boat, which was in charge of the second mate of the Norge, was eight days on the open sea. The party rowed the entire distance to the island. All on board the boat were much exausted and unable to stand when they landed. The Shetland islands were sighted by the boat on Wednesday last. Three Killed by Boiler Explosion. The boiler at Pfeifier & Burch’s saw mill, at Wabmemee, Mich., blew up, killing: William Reed, William Franks and Engineer Thomas Dickerson. John Fortune was scalded so terribly | that he may die. Orange Judd was blown through the air 40 feet and knocked senseless, but not otherwise! injured. The property loss is $5,000. Steel Hoop Cuts Wages.

LIGHTNING CAUSES FIRE. Grain Elevator and Steamship Burned in Boston Harbor. A bolt of lightning struck the Wil- son- steamship line freight shed on Mystic wharf, Charlestown, Mass, during the thunderstorm, passed along the ridge of the two immense freight sheds, occupied by the Allan and Ham- burg-American line, to a large Boston & Maine railroad grain elevator, and started a fire, which caused the de- struction of nearly $1,000,000 worth of property, the loss of two lives and the injury of between 20 and 30 per- sons. So quickly did the flames spread that most of the crew of the Allan line steamer Austrian, which was lying | near the elevator, had to jump into the harbor to save their lives. Others who were injured, including Capt. August J. Peters, had to remain on board the Austrian until they were res- cued by the crew of the tug Metropoli- tan. The Austrian, ablaze from stem to stern, was towed into the stream, where, after her upper works had been dstroyed, fireboats succeeded in ex- tinguishing the flames. SILVER IS PLENTIFUL. Philippine Government Has No Occas- ion for More Purchases. A cablegram received by the bureau of insular affairs announces that the Philippine government has no occas- ion for purchasing more silver. The silver purchased last year pro- duced substantially 2,000,000 more pesos than all the Mexicans exported since January 1, 1902. The recoinage of Spanish-Filipino coins, which is be- ing actively prosecuted in the San fully supplies the from circulation. The Philippine government has in circulation in the islands, in transit | and in process of recoinage 16,000,000 more silver coins than were in the islands January 1, 1904, and 2,000,000 more than were in the islands Jann- ary 1, 1903, when there was a great surplus of currency. ACHINESE SLAUGHTERED. Expedition to North Achin and Meets Severe Reverses. A dispatch {from Batavia, capital of the Dutch Indias, says that the com- mader of the, expedition to North Achin (Northern Sumatra) attacked Likat on June 20. The Achinese losses were 432 killed, including 281 women | and 88 children, and 54 wounded. Sev- enteen priscners were taken. The Dutch casualties included the com- mander, a lieutenant, two sergeants and 13 soldiers wounded.

Tibbles, of Nebraska, for Vice President, was the ticket nominated to-day by the Populist National convention. The names of William V. Allen, of Nebras- ka, and Samuel W. Williams, of In- diana, were also placed before the convention for President, but before the list of States had been completed in the roll call their names were with- drawn and Watson was nominated by acclamation. TRAIN BLOWN FROM TRACK. One Man Killed When Cars Rolled Down Bank. A passenger train of the Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis Railroad, consist- ing of two coaches, a baggage car and the engine, was struck by a tor- nado near Oakford, Ill.,, and the cars were picked up and hurled down a 15-foot embankment, being rolled over and over by the wind. The baggage- man, Thomas Wiley, was killed, and about 20 of the passengers were in- | jured. Railroads Not Failing. Although the first six months of 1904 have witnessed many failures of manufacturing, mercantile and finan- cial interests, no railway in the United States has gone into the hands of a receiver as a result of the decreased industrial and commercial activity in that period. Two or three minor com- panies have passed their dividends, but | of the nearly 1,800 operating and sub- sidiary roads, whose securities are in the hands of the public, only six, re- presenting about. 300 miles of line, have defaulted in their interest or otherwise confessed insolvency thus far in 1904. Only 20 railroads, with less than 1,000 miles of line out of the 210,000 miles in the United States are at present in the hands of receiv- ers. State of Siege for Poland.’ According to a special dispatch from | Vienna the Polish papers report that the Governor General of Warsaw has to place Russian Poland in a state of siege, as other- wise it will be ‘impossible for him to prevent an uprising of the dis- affected population. Fire at Chautauqua. Fire destroyed the block of frame buildings within the Chautauqua as- sembly grounds where the various sup- ply houses are located. The timely | arrival of fire fighting appratus from Jamestown and Mayville saved the large buildings and halls from destruc- tion. The loss will not exceed $20,- 000.
