RUSSIANS REPORT A VICTORY
They Assert Kalchou Has Been Re

Was the Result of the Enemy
Resuming the Offensive.
NIU CHWANG, July 24. A battle -was
fought yesterday (Saturday) near Ta Tche
Kiao, attended, it is believed, with heavy
losses. The progress of the battle was
watched by many people in Niu Chwang
Irom the roofs of houses. The day was
jclear and the smoke of the guns could bo
plainly seen.
Claim' to Have Retaken KInchou.
PARIS, July 24. The correspondent of
the Matin at Ylnkow says a violent can
'nonade, lasting several hours, was heard
to the northward of Kalchou on July 23.
The roofs in the houses in Niu Chwang
were crowded with Europeans and Chi
nese looking on. The Russians claim to
have retaken Kalchou July 21, and say
ithe fight reported was the result of the
Japanese resuming the offensive.
Japanese Were Successful.
TIENTSIN, July 24. A report from Niu
Chwang states that Saturday's battle was
at Tahsuitong, six miles distant, and that
the Japanese were successful.
Many Chinese refugees arriving at Niu
Chwang have reported that nine gun
boats from Port Arthur have arrived at
Ta Ting Shan.
ATTACK JAPANESE BY NIGHT
Russians Force Them to Retire To
ward Kalchou.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 24. (4 A. M.)
A badly-mutilated dispatch from Ta Tche
Kiao, dated July 20, which has been re
ceived here, indicates that an engagement
of some importance has occurred on the
seacoast road between Kalchou and
Tinkow. The dispatch states that the
Russians made a night attack on a forti
fied Japanese camp at San Goss, on the
seacoast, north of Kalchou. They got
within close range and opened fire on the
camp before they were discovered and
forced the retirement of the Japanese
toward Kalchou.
Here a portion of thb dispatch is miss
ing. Apparently, the attackers were en
veloped by a counter Japanese movement,
probably by troops from some neighbor
ing position, for this whole regiment is
etrongly fortified and the Russian detach
ment was in danger of being cut off and
annihilated. The message continues by
-saying that when the Russians had given
up themselves for lost, a welcome dlver
sion'was created in their rear by Captain
Rotovski, in command of three companies
of Russian troops, who threw his force
into the fight. Cossack companies also
come up on a gallop. Here occurs another
mutilation. The message continues as fol
lows: "The next day we abandoned our posi
tion, leaving the bodies of 15 Japanese
which we were unable to bury. The gen
eral situation In this region does not
indicate activity in the near future. The
rains have commenced, ruining the roads.
Information has reached here from the
south that the railroad is Hooded between
Kalchou and Vafangow, and that the
Japanese, being unable to run their en
gines through the water, are moving their
cars by horse power.
"The Japanese are strongly entrenched
eouth of Ta Tche Kiao and have pushed
out their fortifications on both sides of
the railway as far as the village of
Tavalga, off which they have several
Junks. Their apparent object is to pass
along the seacoast road to Erdago, two
thirds of the way to Yinkow from Kal
chou. Our scouts here are ready to con
test tho Japanese advance."
Erdago Is the last possible position bar
ring the Japanese road to Ylnkow. The
opinion of Major-General Kondravltch Is
that the Japanese positions, both south
and east, are weakly held but strongly
fortified, and that much of the Japanese
infantry has been drawn off to reinforce
General Kurokl, who Is operating against
Lieutenant-General Count Keller. At some
(positions south of Simoucheng dummies
are actually being used to maintain the
entrenchments. The Russians are so sur
rounded by entrenchments to the south
and east that it Is hard for them to move
without coming under fire. There is ap
parently more artillery than infantry in
-these positions. The Japanese are loath
to disclose the location of their guns. A
few days ago General Baron Stakelberg
and his staff personally reconnoltercd the
position at Makuntsuldzi Hill, without
drawing the Japanese fire, though the
party were conspicuous in their white uni
forms. The Russians are harassing the
Japanese posts almost nightly, their
scouts creeping up and firing at close
range. The Japanese never attempt to
follow them.
JAPANESE HARASS RUSSIANS.
Kuropatkln Describes the Advance
Towards Suyatanza.
ST. PETERSBURG July 23. General
Kuropatkln, in a report to the Emperor
under date of July 22, says everything Is
quiet, and there has been no change on
the southern front of the Russian forces
or on the Sluyen road.
He proceeds to describe the advance
made July 21, by his order, from Ikhavuen
eastward along the stageroad toward
Chindlapudza and southward along the
JValley of the Llank River toward Suya
tanza. The Russians, harassed by small
bands of Japanese, continued their ad
vance July 22, the Japanese outposts re
tiring on their field fortifications east of
the road leading from the Makumenza to
the Lakho Pass. At 9:3p in the morning
the Russian artillery opened fire on the
pass, which is surmounted by a temple,
and the advance was continued a few kilo
metres along the stageroad without en
countering the enemy.
General Kuropatkln adds that up to the
afternoon of July 22, he had received no
further Tepori.
On July SI three battalions of Japanese
occupied Slassyre, and sent outposts from
there along the left bank of the Taltse.
..COREANS URGED TO RESIST.
Agitation Against Japanese Land
Grants Is Becoming Serious.
SEOUL, Corea, July 22 (Delayed In
transmission). The Corean 'agitation
against granting tho Japanese demands
for waste lands is becoming serious, and
dally meetings, attended by thousands of
persons, are being held, at which the
speakers urge moral resistance. Three
such meetings were this week stopped by
the presence of Japanese gendarmes.
At a. meeting held today a squad of
soldiers marched thrdugh the crowd, and
although no violence was offered the Cor
eans fled in disorder, several sustaining
slight injuries, in their wild efforts to
clamber over walls in their flight. Farm
ers are coming in from the country to
Join in- the protest to the-Emperor against
the Japanese demands. The leaders of the
anti-Japanese propaganda are arrested
frequently and held at the Japanese Con
sulate. The Japanese authorities say there is no
fear of rioting, but some of the foreign
ers here do not accept this view.
LARGE SHIPS TAKING NO RISKS
Japanese Holding Them Back for the
Final Blow at Port Arthur.
ON BOARD THB MIKASA, Admiral
Togo's flagship, off Port Arthur, July 17,
via Fusan, Corea, July 23. In reply to
addresses made to him by the newspaper
correspondents who are on board the
steamer Manchuria, Admiral Togo said,
modestly, that he felt complimented to
learn that the world was Interested In
his victories, and it w.as his desire,
through the press, to send his thanks
to those persons .who' admired him.
The Japanese naval policy is to hold
their larger warships In reserve until the
time comes to deliver a crushing blow at
Port Arthur. In the meantime, torpedo
boats are to make constant and harassing
attacks. Every night the Japanese lay
mines at the harbor entrance. The en
trance to the port is now clear.
The steamer Manchuria Is making a
tour of the theater of war with members
of tho Japanese Diet, foreign attaches
and newspaper correspondents on board.
PORT ARTHUR MUST BE TAKEN
It Is the Key to All the Japanese
Operations.
IJAO YANG, July 22, Friday. (Delayed
in transmission.) Two Japanese divisions
have tried to break through Lieutenant
General Count Keller's left, but General
Herschelman, with the aid of reinforce
ments, made a successful stand. Details
of the engagement are not yet known.
The Japanese left only two divisions at
Kalchou. These are strongly intrenched
and on tho defensive. Other Japanese
troops formerly at Kalchou were em
barked on transports for the vicinity of
Port Arthur.
The capture of that stronghold has be
come a vital question for the Japanese.
They have been able hitherto to adopt the
offensive, but they realize that General
Kuropatkln himself will soon be able to
take the offensive, and foresee that they
must have a strong naval base. Port Ar
thur is the key to all Japanese opera
tions. Informed of Kurokl's Victory.
WASHINGTON, July 23. The Japanese
Legation has received a cablegram from
the Foreign Office at Toklo stating that
General Kurokl reports that in the cap
ture of Kiao Tung, July 18 and 19, his
casualties wore 72 killed, and indluded two
officers, and 452 wounded. Including 16
officers, the Russian casualties being esti
mated at 1000.
RUSSIANS HAVE TO RETIRE.
Superior Japanese Force Is Attacked
In the Sybel Pass.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 23. General
Kuropatkln reports, in a dispatch to the
Emperor, that a detachment of Russian
troops, commanded by Colonel Tsybulsky,
gave battle in the Sybel Pass, July 17,
to a superior force of Japanese. The en
gagement resulted in the retirement of
the Russians with the loss of one officer
and 46 men killed, and four officers and
1S2 men wounded.
In another fight on the Mukden road,
July 19, several companies of dismounted
Cossacks offered a stubborn resistance
to the Japanese advance guard. The Rus
sians fell back on Slao Syr. One man
was killed and 13 wounded. The Japan
ese suffered considerable losses.
VLADIVOSTOK SHIPS ARE SEEN
Toklo Hears From Them at a Point
Ten Miles From Yokohama.
TOKIO, July 24. (10 A, M.) The Vladi
vostok squadron was sighted at 8 o'clock
this morning (Sunday), 20 miles off the
Southern Coast of the Province of Izu.
It was veering to the east.
The r -ort yesterday that cannonading
was he. i d at Uraga proves to have been
unfounded.
(Izu forms the peninsula between Tsu
ruga and Sagaml Bays. It is about 70
miles Bouthwest of Yokohama.)
Merchantman Probably Taken.
TOKIO, July 24, noon. It is reported
that a merchant vessel Is accompanying
the Vladivostok squadron which was
sighted this morning 60 miles off Izu. It
is probable that the merchantman is a
captive.
RUSSIANS LOSE STRONGHOLD.

BRITAIN MUST KNOW
Status of the Russian Fleet
Cannot Be in Doubt.
NEW SEIZURES REPORTED
London Government Is Made More
Determined to Secure Informa
tion as to the General Policy
of the Red Sea Squadron.
LONDON, July 23. Count Benckendorff,
the Russian Ambassador, has received of
ficial notification from St. Petersburg, re
porting the capture of two more British
ships in the Red Sea, and instructions
from his government to notify Great Brit
ain that the same procedure will be fol
lowed as in the case of the Malacca,
namely, that vessels will be taken to a
neutral port for examination by the Con
suls of two nations concerned.
The effect of. the additional seizure
upon the British government, has been
to intensify Its determination to settle
the status of the volunteer-fleet vessels.
It Is understood that the dispatch of the
British cruiser Venus to the Red Sea and
a number of torpedo-boats to Port Said,
is an earnest of the government to pro
tect British commerce. No warlike In
structions have been given .the command
ers, but the Venus will closely watch the
procedure of the volunteer-fleet vessels.
Some diplomatic circles regard this as
being In the nature of a threat to Russia,
but the Russian diplomats in London ex
press no concern.
Ambassador Benckendorff, in his com
munications to Foreign Secretary Lans
downe has not dealt with the general
question of the Dardanelles. It Is pointed
out In Russian circles here that the sub
ject Is receiving consideration at St.
Petersburg, and It is asserted that Russia
will not abandon the right which she
claims to send volunteer-fleet vessels
through the Dardanelles and to transform
them subsequently Into auxiliary cruisers,
although no more ships ae likely to be
sent out of the Black Sea at present.
Although It was authoritatively stated
yesterday that the Malacca had already
reached Suda Bay, It now transpires that
when the Malacca sailed from Port Said
she was bound for Algiers. Unless orders
are delivered to her on the way she will,
upon arrival there. And an order to pro
ceed Immediately to Suda Bay, where, un
der tho agreement reachod between Great
Britain and Russia, an examination of her
cargo will be made by the Russian and
British Consuls.
The apparent delay in tho delivery of
the orders to tho captains of the St.
Petersburg and the Smolensk explains
the seizure of tho Scandla and the Ardov.
Probable Action of Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 23. While not
admitting the illegality of the action of
the Russians in converting vessels of the
volunteer fleet into warships after they
had reached the Red Sea, it is probable.
In view of the fact that neutral ships did
not receive previous notice, that Russia.
In order to remove the shadow of a cloud
upon their right to fly tho war flag, will
formally notify the powers of their con
version into warships, thus putting all
,neutrals upon their guards. In the mean
time, an tne snips seized win be released
unless the captains refuse to show their
manifests. In which event the procedure
In the case of the Malacca will probably
be followed.
EXPECTS DIPLOMACY TO WIN
France Believes Her Efforts Along
This Line Will Prove Successful.
PARIS, July 23. Official advices in
dicate that the Anglo-Russian incident
is proceeding toward an adjustment.
Foreign Minister Delcasse's efforts
have been to keep the affair within
diplomatic lines, and so prevent some
overt act of British reprisal which
might precipitate serious International
complications. These efforts aro now
considered as having accomplished
their object. Delays in tho future will
be those naturally incident to a diplo
matic settlement of the controversy.
In connection with the anxiety in tho
United States over a possible seizure of
American merchantmen carrying sup
plies to Yokohama, tho French news
papers recall the American seizure of
the French merchantmen La Fayette and
Olinde Rodriguez during the Spanish
War. It Is asserted that negotiations
over these cases brought the United
States and Franco to accord a general
recognition of the right of seizure.
It is also pointed out that the seizure
of French ships did not arouse such ex
citement in France as that recently
shown in England.
SHOWS SHE IS DEMOCRATIC.
Minister of Interior Fully Discusses
Government of Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 23. "Russia,"
said the Minister of the Interior, pausing
as he spoke, to pick his words, "Is a
democratic country." M. von Plehwe
granted an audience this week to several
newspaper correspondents, and consented
to place the position of affairs within the
empire before them, In order to correct
authoritatively certain Impressions which
have become popular In Europe.
He repeated: "Russia Is a democratic
country. Of our total population, the
vast majority are peasants, and a coun
try governed by an autocrat for the peas
ant class is certainly to be accounted
democratic. And then, monsieur. It ap
pears not to be known In England that,
In matters affecting the administrative
districts the governments in which they
live, the peasants and tradespeople are
self-governing. The imperial authority
appoints a Governor, as in tho case of an
English colony, but the local assembly,
which collects and spends the local taxes,
is elected by the people.
"These taxes, now," he continued, "are
also worthy to be understood. In Russia
the revenue is almost entirely derived
from indirect taxation. Customs dues fur
nish a very large part of it and of that
portion which Is obtained by direct im
posts, land taxe9 and so on, nearly all ls
allotted to local purposes roads, schools,
administration and the like. Those peo
ple benefit who pay, as also in England,
and subject to the central (the Imperial)
authority, they guide the expenditure of
their money themselves.
"And In regard to that money that is
paid direct to the imperial government,
there must be a further distinction. When
tho serfs were emancipated the govern
ment advanced the money necessary for
tho purchase of their land from their
erstwhile owners, and that is being paid
back in installments. In a few years the
payments will have been completed, and
the peasants will then possess freeholds.
So this sum is to be deducted from the
total of direct taxation, and will shortly
disappear from the budget altogether."
Inquiry concerning that section of the
people who are so manifestly discon
tented with the prevailing: order brought
the following:
"Liberalism in Russia," he said, "has
many adherents and exponents, and the
most of these are In no sense extremists,
They disapprove of the government's
methods in certain respeots, but their op
position stops at criticism. Their oppor
tunities for demonstrating their opinions
are few They express themselves, to a
certain limited extent, in a particular sec
tloa of the press, but beyond that they
can hardly go. You must understand,
monsieur, that these people are not to be
regarded as revolutionists: They belong
largely to the middle, class, and are quite
worthy and harmless.
"The Social Democrats come next It is
more accurate In this case to call them
the Socialist Democrats. These are they
who discover injustice in the principle
of autocracy. They enter politics on the
ethical plane, as disciples of a variety of
teachers, and the basis of their activity is
always some abstract theory. It is im
portant to note, however, for the pur
poses of this classification, that they are
believers in something, for the final class,
the Nihilists, are otherwise.
"These Nihilists believe In nothing. Au
tocracy suits them no better than limited
monarchy. Even a republic excites their
hostility. "Whatever may be the vehicle
of authority, they are Its enemies. Re
bellion Is their sole Instinct. They resist
the Idea of a God, reject all claim of
religion, subvert ethics, and aspire only
to produce chaos. They are a class quite
apart, and a small one, unimportant save
as criminals and subjects for police sur
veillance." Of education, his excellency had a re
gret to express.
"We have discontinued the system of
Count Tolstoi, and so far have not been
prepared with anything to replace It
There are still the schools of the local
authority, and from them a poor youth
with practically no money may pass to
the university, all fees being remitted.
But what we lack Is the means of tech
nical education. I aim at a system by
which sons of peasants shall acquire the
.sort of knowledge which will add to their
producing power, and which, while it im
proves their own condition, shall tend to
the economical aggrandlzemont of the
country."
No More Anti-Japanese Meetings.
SEOUL, July 23. (Delayed in transit)
The Japanese have posted In Seoul an
announcement that the Japanese will ex
orcise police power In all matters affect
ing Japanese interests. No anti-Japanese
meetings will be allowed. This action Is
the result of the rapid growth of an anti
Japanese propaganda. Foreigners are not
affected by the new order.

THE POOL OF BETHESDA.
How It Is Being Filled Up for Prac
tical Uses.
Boston Transcript
It was always to me a matter of won
der how Jerusalem came to be so far
below the level of the ancient city, says
Jerome A. Hart in the San Francisco
Argonaut I can understand the buried
cities of the Campagna in Italy; some
of them were overwhelmed by lava, some
by mud; some by ashes. And on top of
these the natural accretion of ages made
a new soil. But there Is nothing volcanic
about Jerusalem except the Greek and
Latin monks (who also, by the way,
carry soil by accretion). How can one
account for tho great depth at which
some of the ancient ruins are found?
For that matter, there aro many houses
still Inhabited, tho level of which is far
below that of the present street; you
see people going down Into these anclont
houses as If they were burrows. Then
again, there aro ruins which have been
discovered in the third story, going
down, below tho earth. That Is, there
would be a Jewish building, on top of It
a Roman building, on top of that a
mediaeval building, and last of all a
modern church. There are some who
say that below the Jewish level there
are still older ruins.
It was always Incomprehensible to me
how such a vast amount of rubbish could
have accumulated there. If Jerusalem
lay In a valley or In a basin like Lon
don, I could understand It, but such is

as North and others delighted In spelling
dog "dogge." There are dogs today wao
deserve the older form, "dogge" ana you
see the cynical mouth,' the polished teeth,
the bow-legs; you hear the warning
growl; you recognize the quick and deep
Insertion, the grim staying power, the
indomitable courage.
STEED OF GREAT ANTIQUITY
Senator Blackburn Tells of Gift to an
Itinerant Preacher.
"Washington Times.
There are missionaries as well as moon
shiners In Kentucky, and Senator Black
burn tells this Interesting story about a
preacher, a horse and a plain-spoken
mountaineer:
"Preachers In many rural districts of
Southern States have trials and tribula
tions as they go from meeting-house to
meeting-house to deliver the word of God.
They are a hard-worked and poorly-paid
lot, and yet there Is little grumbling.
"I once heard of a new horse being
presented to one of these preachers who
had many miles of mountainous territory
to cover In order to fill his appointments.
The animal was not fine In fact, it wa3
what might be called a 'stack ot bones.'
"The horse was presented the preacher
one Sunday Just before the service began.
Quite a crowd of men were standing
around discussing its qualifications. Tho
preacher remarked: 'I am much pleased
with my new steed. The horse Is as good
as the animal our blessed Savior rode.'

PE-RU-NA
Catarrhal Ailments
The Great Test of a Medicine
. Is the Result Obtained.
The
Source of Catarrh Must
Reached if It Is Cured
Pe-ru-na Cures.
Catarrh Is simply a flabby condition of
the mucous membrane. This fiabblness
has been brought about by exposure to
cold which finally depresses the 'nerves
supplying the mucous membrane.
Peruna operates Immediately to
strengthen these nerves and give tone to
the mucous membrane. There is no other
Internal catarrh remedy that has proven
effective in all cases.
The most distinguished men of tha
United States have no hesitation in lend
ing their influence to assist in letting tho
people know of the virtues ot Peruna.
Nearly one-half the people are In soma
degree affected by catarrh. Therefore it
Is almost a National curse and it Is of
National Import that the people should
know of Peruna.
Pe-ru-na Cannot Be Imitated.
Some things may be successfully imi
tated, but Peruna cannot be. Every one
purchasing Peruna should look out for
Imitations. Examine each package care
fully. If you have ever used Peruna or if
you have ever tasted it, you are not in
the slightest danger of being misled by
these Imitations, but all those beginning
the use of Peruna should beware.
Beware of imitations. Believe no on .
who tells you that he has a remedy that
Is making the same cures that Peruna is
making.
If you have any doubt as to the genuine
ness of the bottle of Peruna you are using,
write to Dr. Hartman and the fraud, if
there be any, will soon be detected.
A Presidential Candidate on the
Populist Ticket Endorses Pe-ru-na.
Hon. John B. "Weaver, of Colfax, la., a
candidate for the Presidency on tho Pop
ulist ticket, writes from the National
Hotel, "Washington, D. C, as follows:
"I can unhesitatingly recommend your
remedy, Peruna, for coughs, colds and
catarrh. I am satisfied that It will do all
you claim for It." John B. "Weaver.
A cold Is the beginning of catarrh. It
may cause catarrh of any of the internal
organs the head, throat, lungs and stom
ach. A remedy that will cure a cold then,
would cure all these different effects of
cold. Peruna Is such a remedy. "We have
letters from all over the United States,
attesting to this fact. The poor and rich
alike use and recommend it.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Peruna Is not a guess nor an experiment
It Is an absolute scientific certainty.
"We have on file many thousand testimo
nials like tho ones given. "We can only
give our readers a slight glimpse of tha
vast array of unsolicited Indorsements
are receiving every month. No other J
physician in the world has received such a
volume of enthusiastic and grateful let
ters of thanks as Dr. Hartman for Pe-
l runa.

Silly Proverbs.
New Orleans Tfanes-Democra
'A man never attains any degree of
wisdom until he rejects the teachings of
the proverbs," said tho peculiar fellow
across the table. 'It was a blltherlnc
Idiot who remarked that a stitch in time
Baved nine. My trousers tore yesterday,""?
and I took the one stitch that all thai
world Is supposed to commend. The re-
suit was the strain was transferred to
another part of the garment, and I had
to wait until nightfall before I could go
home. 'A penny saved is a penny earned
is very beautiful In theory, but If you
have one dollar and resist the temptation
of spending ten times you will still havo
only one dollar, and not ten, as the prov
