of opinion expressed by residents of
town aurroundlng Cripple Creek, the
ecen of the exciting event of the
paat three day, la that order will be
reeumed rapidly now, there la an evi
dent feeling, f fear leet other and
more aerloua clashes occur between the
eetabllithed authorltlee and the sup
porters of unionism In the camp. ThU
ta due to the peraletent report which
haa gained circulation, but I given
little credence, that all member of
labor union, rrgardleia of their oc
cupation, will be aked to leave the
dlatrlct under pain of deportation.
The two battle today between aot
dlera and union mlnere, one at Dunn
vlUe, threatening at flret to prove ex
tremely erlou. form the main topic
of discussion throughout the camp.
The Big Bull hilt affair waa almply a
tklrmleh between union men and aol
dlera who were acouring the hill for
miner wanted by the authorities, :
The Important feature of the day'
event waa the appointment of a com
mittee of well-known cltlaena anJ.busi

The nice thing about a rain
coat is, yon can wear it in shine
as well as rain, and look well.
The best fact about our rain
coats is, they're made for us by
Hart Schaffner & Marx, which
is only a short way of saying
that there are no better rain
coats to be had anywhere ; and
that you'll think so yourself if
you buy one. We have plenty
of other good overcoats to show
you ; we'll show you the Hart
Schaffner & Marx label in
them: a small thing to look for,
a big thing to find.

tained and stubborn attacks en Port Arthur simultaneously by land and
sea.. They were repulsed with sever loss.. Ths position of the Japs at
Kwang Tung Is said to be precarioua. 1
There are rumors from th same sources that th Vladivostok squadron
has effected a junction with th Pert Arthur fleet, and a naval battle took
plaoe and the Japanese lost four large ships.
London, Juns 8 Th 8hanghal eorrtspondsnt of th Post telegraphed
June 8:. General 8takalbrg's Russian brigade marching in th direction of

Chefoo, Juno 8. Chinese, both mer
chant and cootie; are leaving Pott
Arthur with permission from the Rus
sian authorities. Fifty Junks which
left Port Arthur yesterday with Chi
nese paaaengera have arrived here.
Th reports of the latest arrivals vary
In minor details, but agree In the
statement that a battle ha been raging
for four day within ten mile of Port
Arthur. Ail the Russian soldiers have,
it la said, left Port Arthur for the
front and only three largo hip and
a number of aeamen remain In the
harbor. Th Chinese are unable to ex
plain what ha become of the other
largo "hip. They further report that
all fort at Port Arthur have been
more or less damaged by recent bom
bardment and a number mine: re
cently laid In th entrance to th har
bor wer exploded during a thunder
storm.
Important News Soon.
St. Petersburg, June 8. One of the
most prominent officials of the war of
fice informed the Associated Press that
Important new from the front Is ex?
pected within three day.
The manager of the Baltic work
ha received a message from Port Ar
thur. The message said that work on
the battleship Pobedia, which had a
hole 80 feet wide In her side, Is pro
ceeding satisfactorily.
Outer Fort Damaged. ,
Chefoo, June. 8. According to report
brought here by Chinese arriving from
Port Arthur, the outer forts of that
place have been badly damaged by
Japanese bombardments. Many build
ing In the town have also been de
stroyed, but the Inner fort have suf
fered but little. They give no infor
mation about the Russian fleet The
statement made by them that when
they left there were only three large
ships there probably mean that num
ber were in the outer harbor and the
others were behind Tiger Tail and in
the naval basin.
Pvery junk at Port Arthur haa. it
Is said, been chartered to carry away
Chinese, but few of whom now remain
in the besieged city.
Hoi In Her 6id.
Seattle, June 8. A bole waa stove
In the barkentine John C. Meyer, lying
at Agen dock this afternoon, by the
United State transport Dix, and the
damage I. enough to delay the sailing
of the barkentine with her cargo of
lumber for Nome for several day.
The Dix was trying to enter the slip
In which the Meyer was lying and
which was too narrow to admit both.
.. Count ,ls Slow, ,
Portland, June 6. The official count
from but few counties has so far been
received' here,' and these do not vary
materially from the predictions made
Monday night Judging by reports re
ceived up to 1 o'clock this morning,
Williamson will have 13,000 majority;
Hermann over 7000, and Moore about
21,000.
BASEBALL SCORES.
Jap Cut th Cable.
London, June 8. The sudden Inter
ruption of the cable between Korea
and Japan ia considered significant of
important troubles at Port Arthur, the
Japanese having taken the precaution,
as usual, to cut the only mean of
communication with the outside world,
and thus enable the forces to work
with absolute secrecy.
No attention I paid .in London 'to
the rumors that the storming of the
fortress has already begun, because it
is known that at the battle of Kin
Chou General Oku had but little am
munition and the Japa must renew
their ammunition from their stores.
It is considered likely that Admiral
Togo Is not averse to Port Arthur
wasting Its ammunition In constant
encounters with gunboats. This may
explain the rumored bombardments,
while the tiring on the land side may
be due to preliminary operations, hav
ing for their purpose the driving In
of the Russian forces.
