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.

Nearly 10,000 people assembled in

was here on that date that the first
State convention acting under the
name “Republican” was held. Sec

DOUBTFUL REPORTS. |
War News From the Orient Comes
From Unreiiable Sources.
Reports from Port Arthur are mainly |
from unreliable Chinese sources. It is |
guite definitely ascertained, however, |
that the Japanese are steadily closing |

a cordon of artillery positions around |
It. The advance by the west coast

Is known as the marine camp, de-|
fended by some thousands of marines |
and sailors. There are reports con-|
firmatory of damags to the Russian]
vessels, reported by Admiral Togo, but |
denied by the Russians. The Russians |
apparently consider concealment al
necessity at this stage of the opera-|
tions and denial a means of deceiving |
the Japanese. Russian ammunition is
said to be in good supply.
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.

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.
On June 23 the Dutch troops attack-
ed Langatbars, when the Achinese
losses were 654 killed, including 186
women and 130 children, and 49
wounded. Twenty-eight prisoners
were taken. The Dutch losses were
a captain, 22 soldiers and six coolies
wounded.
POPULISTS NAME CANDIDATES.
Thomas E. Watson and Thomas H.
Tibbles Head the Ticket. .
At their convention in Springfield,
Ill, Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia,
for President, and Thomas H. 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.
