Men, While Japanese Iom Wait but Ten Another Conflict Looked for Momentarily. Victoria, Seoul, Korea, May 11. 5 p. m. (Delayed in transmit sion.) Infantry reinforcements reached the beleaguarcd Japanese trops at Anju at 6:30 o'clock on the evening of May 10. The garri son had fought fiercely for 12 hours, the men reserving their fire until the enemy were at close range upon each attempt to storm the gate. The Cossacks then retired over the eastern hills to Yong Pyong, the provincial capital, leav ing 50 killed and wounded on the field and one non-commissioned officer captured. The Japanese Iof'j four killed and six wounded, be sides one teletrranh operator. The Japanese troops arc now in pur suit of the enemy and an engage ment is momentarily expected. It is supposed that the Cossacks are part of the body which crossed the headwaters ol the lalu near Cliangsong and occupied Chengju not knowing of the disaster which had attended their arms on the Yalu, continuing to carry out their orders to harass the enemy and cut oft! his communications,- which would now be impossible with even a much larger force.

But as a last re sort I was persuaded to try a set of the Cutlcura remedies, and to my great delight a marked change was mani fested from the first application. I fave the child a bath with Cutlcura oap, using a soft piece of muslin cloth. This I did twice a day, each time fol lowing with the Cutlcura Ointment, and at the same time gave the Resol vent, according to directions. One box of the Ointment and two bottles of the Resolvent, together with the Soap, effected a permanent cure.

Much Jealousy In Gates Case Railroad Detectives Work at Cross Purposes and Murderers Are Not Captured. Portland Journal. ' That George Gates, one of the men alleged to have held up the Southern Pacific passenger train at Copley, CaL, in which Express Messenger O'Neill was killed, and a companion engaged a room in Portland and remained here for at least a week is the assertion made by local officers. It is believed that had this been known sooner, the desperado could have been cap tured here. But the chance was lost, and it is not believed that it will be presented again. The confession of Mrs. Thomas Whiteman, made at Redding, Cal., in which she implicated Gates, was not news to the local officers who have been working cn the case. It has been known here for some time that Gates was corresponding with some woman, and that he always dated his letters ahead. But it was not known who the woman was, and it was not known at the time Gates was in Portland, else he would have been taken while here. Detective Joe Day knows Gates, and characterizes him as one of the most desperate criminals ever oper ating in the west. The officer re grets the fact that so much news paper notoriety has been given the case, for it is believed that Gate and his fellow murderers have benefited by it. It is a fact that ihe murderers, after fleeing from Copley after the murder, camped on a mountain not far from San Francisco for more than a weefr One of them went down to a train every day and bought copies of the San Francisco papers, so that they might learn the operations of the tectives. After the officers disi covered the den recently occupied by the criminals, they found the newspapers stuffed down an old chute. ...... It is the declaration of officers connected with the case that jeal ousy and newspaper notoriety have enabled the murderers to thus far escape justice. It is said there is much jealousy among the railroad detectives working on the case. BIO SCANDAL IS PROMISED Prominent New Yorkers Said to Have Been Involved in Money Taking Scheme. GRAFT FOR CITY POSITIONS Former Policeman, Now in' Jail for Taking Coin, Makes Con fession Implicating Men Who Stand High. New York, May 12. Rudolph Beyers, a former policeman, now serving a six months sentence in the penitentiary for taking money from police candidates, has made a statement, according to the World in which he gives the names of the influential persons through whom candidates were secured positions in the police and fire departments by the use of money. Beyers, it is said, corroborated in detail a state ment made to the district attorney by E. A. Sonner, who is serving a short sentence on charges similar to those against the ex-policeman. A vigorous examination is being made and developments are ex pected in the near future. Accord ing to the World, "the man higher up," who received the bulk of the money collected for jobs in the fire department, is one of the best known men in town, and held office under the city government for several years. One of the men influential in the police department is said to have been formerly a high official, while the other is still in office.

A. , Room 1, Colman Bldg, Seattle, Wash A correspondent sends us the follow ing little story: "Sometimes the sights of a city are memorable. The other evening as I walked home from the office the night was raw and chilly I saw something that made me think. I was passing the front of a large picture store on the great street in the brilliantly lighted window was exhibited a picture of considerable siie, in a coetly frame. The painting represented two beautiful little girl walking through a daisy-covered meadow and picking flowers as they passed. On the cold pavement before that picture, stood a little ragged, shiv ering newsboy. One email arm encir cled a huge bunch of newspapers, while the other grimy fist was used to rub the great tears from his eyes People came and looked, and passed; but the boy, sobbing- pittifully, stocxj before the magic picture, and the only word that he uttered was between great sobs, the tender word, 'sister.'
