Kuropstkin's report I of the engagement, but the number of men lost Is not Intimated In tho text 1 of the dispatch made public. NVhat Kurokl's plans are now Is the j subject of much conjecture In St. Petersburg. Elu Yen gives opportun ity for advance In three directions on Hal Cheng, on Kal Ping, or on ' Nluchwang. One conjecture here Is 1 that Kurokl's activity Is merely a feint to distract the attention of the Russian army from the relief of Port Arthur and another Is that he Is really Intending to give battle In : force, If possible, to tho main army ' under the Russian commander-ln-' chief.

Crept Make Excellent Progress Ow ing to More Seasonable Weather In ths Southwest. Reports to the International Mer cantile Agency from special corres pondents throughout the country In dicate gome Improvements In general business during the last week. This has been most notewoithy In the south and southwest, where excellent sales have brought the volume of or- deis above last year's total. Hats and raps are active, but boots and shoes In certnln sections have j not done as well as usual. The 8t. Louis district reports In-1 creased prosperity In most lines of trade owing to the inrush of exposl-, tlon visitors. Increased travel to St. ; I .mi I 'i Is also helping business In con-! tigous ter.'ltory. Jobbers In many! sections report Improved business, al though country merchants In some Instances have been prevented from visiting trade centers, owing to In creaed business at home, since farm-: era have finished planting. Retail trade Is strong and If fall , buslnes turns out as well as advices , now Indicate the total for the year to September 1 will aveiage fully as much as that reported during the cor responding period of 1!K3. Labor difficulties on tho Great Lakes appear to be neartng solution, with the prospect that most of the congestion 'In traffic, will be relieved within a fortnight or so.

Corn has been to an extent retarded by too much mois ure, but the present acreage ranks probably as the largest ,ever planted, so that the actual harvest may exceed , expectations. Business throughout New England Is still depressed by unsettled eondl- j tlons in manufacturing, due to the ! shutdown of the cotton mills. Wool prices are uncertain and mills run on orders only. Some activity is report- j ed In leather goods, but the tendency i everywhere manifested Is to "go I slow." I ROBSER3 GOT LITTLE MONEY. ' Denver A Rio Grande Train Held Up and Cars Dynamited Drake man Wounded. Denver & Rio Grande passenger trsln No. 5, westbound from Denver, was he:d up by five marked men three miles west of Parachute, between Grand Junction and Glenwood Springs. One sealed bag containing specie was taken from the express safe, which was dynamited. The express car was badly wrecked ty dynamite, but the robbers were forced to take to tl-.e mountains before they could gather up tho valuables In the car. When- the train reached a point three miles west of Parachute two masked men crawled over the tender. They placed pistols at the heads of Engineer Allison and his fireman and made them stop the train. Three men who were waiting on the tender then Jumped down, and uncoupled the j express anil baggage cars. These cars with the engine, were run two miles fu'ther west. The train crew received orders to remain behind on pain of being shot. When the point selected for the dynamiting of the express car was reached Messenger D. M. Shea refused to open the car and piled the baggage up In front of tho door. The robbers with a stick of dyna mite blew away the side door of the car. A stick of dynamite was then placed against the lock of the safe. At this point Brakeman Shellenbarger, who had been ordered to remain with the passenger coaches two miles be hind, came running up with a lantern. Ono of the robbers shot him In the leg. When the rebbers saw that the train crew were coming they flea to the mountains, One of them grabbed a sealed bag "which had been blown clear out o; the safe. This was tho only plunder which was taken. RUMORS OF REPULSE. Attempts by Japanese at Port Arthur Are Disastrous. A dispatch from St. Petersburg, transmits the lollowlng from L!ao Yang. "The Japanese June 6, according to Chinese leports, made several sus tained and stubborn attacks on Port Arthur, simultaneously by land and sea. They were repulsed with severe Iobs. . "The position of tho Japanese In Kwan-Tung is said to be precarious.

The Sultan Accedes to the Demands of Bandit Raisull for Relesse of Captives, American marines have been landed at Tangier for the protection of the Belgian legation. Disorders have broken out In the commercial capital of Morocco and Admiral Chadwlck. as the commander of the large? force on the scene, dispatched armed force as an act of humanity and International comity. The landing was reported to the Navy Department at Washington by a cipher message. Not all of It was made public. The pa:t that was withheld contains Information as to conditions In the Moorish city that It was not deemed advisable to give out. It Is known that the Admiral takes a gloomy view of the state of affairs and Indirectly leaves the Impression on the minds of officers of the navy and State Department that serious work Is probably ahead for the entire force under his command. The request for a force was made to Consul General Gummeie by the Bel gian diplomat. It is the understand ing here that the Bo!glan legation Is outside of the city In the hills, where the tribesmen have been making raids ever since the exploit of Rasult In capturing Perdicaris and Varley. Consul General Gummere has com municated In on nnofflrlal manner a report sent him by the British Consul at Fez, the holy capital of the Sultan, that Abdul Alz has agreed to the terms imposed by the bandit chief. Gummeie has no confirmation of the report. The terms of ransom In brief are: Amnesty for all offenses committed by him and his followers; independ ence of his followers in a prescribed way to be guaranteed by the with drawal of the Sultan's troops and the assurance of France and Great Britain that the Sultan will perform his prom ises, and finally the payment of $35, 000 In gold for the release of the cap tives. The United States will not agree to the terms, although It has no objec tion to the payment of ransom by the Sultan or alienation of his rights, but it objects to a grant of amnesty to the bandit. This Government wants Raisull punished by the Sultan, although It will not Insist upon It If the Sultan prefers to pay an Indemnity for the offense against the United States. TERSE TELEGRAMS.

IN GOVERNMENT'S EMPLOy. Over 150,000 Are In the Executive Civil Service. A bulletin issued by the Census Bu reau gives the total number of employ es In the executive civil service of the United States as 150.383. These fig ares Include only those employes who are required to take an examination, so that about 85,000 postmasters and employes of small poatofHops are ex :luded, as are about 15,000 employes with small salaries In the field branch es of the War Department, about 18,- )00 employes at navy yards who are classified, but appointed under navy yard regulations, and a few thousand In other parts of the service. On the docks of London ln one year 76,800 rata have been destroyed, but the medical ofllcer of health for the port Is doubtful whether that wns as much as the natural Increase of births over deaths, and more rigorous meas ures are to be taken. 8enator Thomas C.
