CHECK JAPANESE
ENGAGEMENT OCCURS IN THE DI-
RECTION OF YINKOW.
Victors Lose Very Few Men One Thous
and of Mikado's Troops Put Out of
of Action C as sacks Lie in Ambush
on Remote Part of Coast and Shatter
' Advance Column.
Liao Yang, July 18. General Sam
aonoff seriously checked the Japanese
Advance in the direction of Yinkow on
July 11. His Co wicks ambushed the
Japanese column, and put 1,000 out of
action. The Japanese attempted to
advance to Yinkow along the coast, but
they were hindered by the marshy
country, which also increased their
difficulties in carrying off their dead
and wounded during the retreat.
The Russians had expected a move
ment in this diretion. and a company
-of cavalry with two guns lay in am
bush in the high grass, catching the
Japanese in the remotest part of the
coast and shattering their advance col-1
umn. The artillery fire of. the Rus
sians was splendid and the Japanese
were unable to make effective reply.
They were forced to retreat. The
Russian losses were six killed and
even wounded.
Japanese Flag Is Hoisted.
New York, July 18. The Japanese
have hoisted their national flag on
- Rose island, in Chemulpo harbor, says
a. Herald dispatch from Seoul, Corea.
Th Coreau fortifications thereon are
still permitted to fly the Corean ensign,
but this is dwarfed by the larger em
b'era of Japan. Native agitation
against the granting of a concession
-covering the stream and vacant land
rights continues unabated, alhough the
Japanese minister is still pressing the
-Corean foreign office to a favorable con
clusion, stating that the Coreans lack
-the finances the executive ability
requisite to a proper development of
these resources.
Salvage operations continue on the
sunken Russian cruiser Yariag. It is
hoped to have her on an even keel this
incnth. The work of raising the sunk--en
merchantman Sungari is rapidly
proceeding.
PREDICT RUIN FOR PANAMA.
-Merchants Strongly Object to American
Custom House.
Panama, July 18. The decree of
Oovernor Dais establishing a custom
house in the canal zone has cieated ex
cited comment here. The principal
merhants of Panama and Colon assem
bled in the Commerial club to discuss
the situation, and, unanimously decid
ed that the establishment of a custom
house in such form means the ruin of
the commerce of Panama and Colon,
.and consequently of the republic.
The canal commissioners and officers
-of the government have . discussed the
situation, which is believed by .all to
be extremely serious unless the decree
be revoked and the interests of Panama
considered.
The newspapers have started a cam
paign to pi ove to the people and the
government of the United States the
injustie of the measure, which is the
cause of excitement in all circles.
Yesterday morning the steamship
City of Pekin, of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company, arrived from San
Francisco, which port she left on June
19. On arriving at Corinto, the City
of Pekin got clearance papers for An
con, the American port in the canal
zone, and the captain of the port of
Panama, refused to receive the steamer
claiming that under the treaty with
the United States all ports in Panama
are under the jurisdiction of the Pana
man authorities. The captain of the
port also made a protest on the action
-of tbq Pacific Mail steamship company,
which he considers against the rights
of the lepublic, and sent a copy. of it to
the president and to the agents of the
company.
Ovation to Skrydloff.
Vladivostok, July 18. Vice Admi
ral Skrydloff received a great ovation
at a fete today under the auspices of
the Thirtieth rifle regiment. The
horses were removed from his carriage,
-which was then hauled by officers and
men of the regiment. After the ban
quet the admiral telegraphed to Gen
eral Kuropatkin that the assembly had
drunk to the health of the officers and
men of the Manchurian army, adding:
""The toast was received with tremend
ous applause, a tribute to your strategic
and tactical ability."
Begin to Fear Russian Defeat.
St. Petersburg, July 18. DiscourageJ
ment is beginning to manifest itself
even among the most per f is tent advo
cates of war, who realize that Russia is
extraordinarily backward, politically,
as well as economically and socially,
and that there is only the remotest
chance that she will be able to draw
herself together in time to defeat the
Japanese. It is reported that M
Witte, minister of finance, stated
recently that Russia was already beaten.

CITY FRIENDS OF GOOD ROADS.
Will the Farmers Accept Their . Aid or
Treat Them as Meddlers.
' Among those interested in road im
provement, the farmers of coures stand
first. The character and condition "of
the roads are of vital interest to them
every day of the year. ' The farmers,
until recently, have been compelled to
struggle with the road problem without
much help or encouragement from any
other class. Now, however, some strong
elements of the city population are
rallying to their' support. Among
these may be named the manufacturers
of road building machinery; the aak
ers and users of bicycles and automo
biles; and the moneyed men of the
cities who have money invested in the
country. These people are entering
into the work for ? the road improve
ment with even more enthusiasm and
zeal than the farmers.
Just now the farmers who want bet
ter roads are brought face to face with
a most important question: Will he
accept the assistance of these city alj-
lies? Will he welcome the aid of the
machinery man, the capitalist, the bi
cyclist and the automobilist? Or will
he treat them as schemers who are try
ing to meddle with his affairs?
The answer to these questions ought
to depend on what these city friends of
good roads are proposing to do. If they
propose to have, the country roads im
proved in order to increase their busi
ness and enhance their pleasure,
wholly at the expense of the farmer,
then he should spurn the proff erd al
liance. If on the contrary they are
proposing, through state and national
taxation to' lift a large part of the bur
den off the farmer and place it on the
taxpayers of the cities, he ought to bi
them welcome, and extend to them the
glad hand. ,
This is a live question for the farmer
o consider and answer. Already the
opponents of the state and national aid
are at work trying to sow seeds of sus
picion in the minds of the farmers, and
they will do their best to prevent any
co-operation between the country and
the city friends of good roada.
As a matter.of fact state and national
aid offer the only hope of general road
improvement, and such aid can never
be secured if the city people array
themselves against it. Unless the
farmers are wholly blind to their own
interests, they will welcome aid from
every source, and will make eveiy ef
fort to secure the powerful aid of the
state and federal governments.
MAY TRAP ARMY.
Japanese Seem Likely to Shut In Kuro-
patkln's Forces.
Chicago, July 16. The Daily News
has the following from the seat of war
by a staff correspondent:
Niu Chwang, July 16. Kuropatkin
seems in danger of being shut up in Ta
Iche Kiao. -The Russians are be
wildered by the Japanese movements,
which are swift and unexpected. The
Russian general had elaborately planned
to fight a great battle at Ta Tche Kiao
today, but to his surprise the affair did
not come off. The Japanese made a
feint against Taipingshan, and the
Muscovite leader finally discovered
that the enemy, instead of giving bat
tle, had marched across his front, tak
ing up a position on some hills to the
east of Ta Tche Kiao. To the north of
Ta Tche Kiao in the direction of Hai
cheng and Liao Yang, the Japanese
forces are moving in three bodies,
while a large fresh reinforcement is
advancing toward Ta Tche Kiao from
below Kaiping. The Russians remain
in their positions dazed and puzzled to
know what all this means. The fact
that the Japanese have made no at
tempt to occupy this city seems to mys
tify them still more. Only a few Rus
sian troops are here now.
Panamanians Take Alarm.
Colon, July 16. A wharf i9 in
course of construction at Cristobal at
which lumbei and other supplies for
the canal will be landed. The build
ing of this wharf has given rise to mis
givings on the part of Panama citizens
that it will be a stepping stone to the
establishment of a United States port
at Colon.' The order to the effect that
vessels sailing from La Boca, the
mouth of the canal on the Pacific side,
must recieve their clearance papers
from the United States authorities, is
criticised as a violation of the treaty.
British Fleet Located.
Cheefoo, July 16. The British fleet,
whose movements last week ware
tinged with mystery, has been located
cruising in Yang Tung bay, 20 miles
from Wei Hai W ei. There is author
ity for the statement that the fleet is
watching the developments at Port
Arthur. Chinese refugees from Port
Arthur who arrived here today report
that the Japanese have recaptured two
positions from 'which they were driven
namely, Forts fourteen and Seven.

DEATH ENDS' TRIP
CHICAGO PICNIC TRAIN COLLIDES
WITH A FREIGHT.
Twenty-Two People Are Killed and
Seventy Others Injured, Many of
; Whom Are In Serious Condition
- Curve In Road Conceals Danger
; From Engineer. T
Chicago, July 15. This evening 22
members of the Sunday school of D6
remus Congregational church at Thirty-first
and Butler streets, went to
death with joy in their hearts and a
hymn ' on their lips. Seventy people,
mostly children, members of the same
Sunday school, were maimed and
mangled at the same time.
The carnage occurred in a collision
on the tracks of the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois railroad between Chicago
Heights and Glenwood, 25 miles from
Chicago. Today was the annual picnic
of the Sunday school, and, as in former
years, seveial hundred of the childien,
with their parents and friends, bad
gone to the . picnic grounds at Mo-
mence, 111., for the day. The picnic
was over and the train was on the re
turn to Chicago when the accident oc
curred. ' -
Two accidents combined to maKe the
disaster. The first was the breaking
down of a freight train on the north
bound track, on which the excursion
train shculd have proceeded after leav
ing Chicago Heights, and the other
was the breaking of a coupling on a
second freight train. Because the first
train had blocked the rightful track
the excursion train switched to the
south-bound track to run for four miles
until it should have passed the station
of Glenwood just north of Chicago
Heights. As it tore along the track at
the rate of 40 miles an hour it rounded
a sharp curve and came full upon the
second tram, which was backing up on
the south-bound track in order to take
up its lost cars, and trying at the same
time to keep out of the way of the com '
ing picnic train, which it believed wa&
on the north-bound track.
There was no time for more than the
setting the brakes, then, with unslack
ened speed, the train, with its load of
500 men, women and children, crashed
at full speed into the freight. There
was a shock, a shriek, and over 20
souls were in eternity.
ARMIES CLOSE IN.
Japanese W1U Attack Ta Tche Kiao
Victory Will Compel Evacuation.
St. Petersburg, July 15. Steadily
and cautiously General Oku's army
from the south, and General Nodizu's
army from the east, are closing in on
Ta Tche Kiao, where General Kuropat
kin is reported to be entrenched. One
hundred and thirty thousand men are
involved in the movement. The next
few days will determine to what extent
General Kuropatkin intends to make a
stand at Ta Tche Kiao, possession of
which by 'the Japanese would compel
the immediate evacuation of Niu
Chwang.
The outposts of the armies are scarcely
15 miles apart. The slowness of the
advance is apparently due to the nat
ural difficulties in the way of a rapid
movement of the Japanese eastern
flanking columns.
Lieutenant General Sakharoff reports
that General Kuro is massing his
troops near the Pkhamlin pass and
moving out by both roads upon Hai
cheng. Heavy pressure from this
quarter would render Ta Tche Kiao un
tenable. "All the Japanese energies now seem
to be concentrated on Ta Tche Kiao
and Haicheng.
The operations to the north, which
throughout may have been feints, have
been suddenly suspended.
Immense Meat Shipment . Concluded.
Minneapolis, July 15. Advites re-
cieved at Northern Pacific headquarters
states that the heaviest order of canned
meat to cioss the Pacific has been suc
cessfully delivered on the Pacific Coast
and loaded aboard the steamer Shaw
mut for transportation from Puget
sound to Yokohama. The shipment
consists of a rush order for 1,000,000
pounds of canned beef for the subsist
ance department of the Japanese army.
It was handled from Chicago by the
Northern Pacific in special trains of 40
refrigerator cars. -
Britain May Protest.
London. July 15. There is reason to
believe that the foreign office is giving
serious cosideration to the question of
the passage of the Dardanelles by ves
sels of the Russian volunteer fleet, and
if the reports of the operations of the
St. Petersburg, one of the ships, which
recently passed thiough the straits, in
searching two British vessels : in the
Red sea are officially confirmed, protest
may be lodged both at Constantinople
and St. Petersburg. -
Japan Breathes Easier.
. Tokio, July 15 It is thought by the
treaty between England and Germany
removes all possibility of a coalition
against Japan, and insures that pro
gressive Anglo-German amity on which
the peace of the world has latterly de-'
pended. : Japan would view with equa
namity the -extension of "Pacific
cone" to include Russia J since "jBuch I a

LOSS OF KINCHOU CONFIRMED.-
Oeneral Sakraroff Sends Account to the'
" ' '. G"l Staff. . -" .
St. Petersburg, July 13. Lieutenant
Gnerai Sakaharoff in a dispatch to the
general staff, confirms the report of the
Japanese occupation of Kaichou. He
says that the Russian loss did not ex
ceed 150 "killed or wounded, General
Sakharoff - adds . that they are on the
Yinkow road. - '
"Our detachment remained during
July 8 at Kaichou station, having its
advance posts on the right bank of the
Kantkhe rivei, the -enemy occupying
the heights on the left bank and forti
fying themselves thereon," says Gen
eral Sakharoff . ' Our battery on the
river bridge opened fire at the enemy's
patrol which appeared in Kantakhe
village. Toward noon a fusilade oc
curred between a detachment of the
enemy and our company, which ob
served the enemy retiring. Our losses
were six wounded.
"Toward the evening of July 8 the
enemy's Jorce, .consisting of . four di
visions and a brigade, coald be made
out in front of- Kaichou, extending
along the seashore. At dawn, July 9,
the enemy resumed the offensive upon
the tear guard of our detachment,
which retired about 6 :30 in the morn
ing from Kaichou to 2)t miles north
ward, toward the Shauanlusa Pass.
"At 10 o'clock, under heavy pres
sure our rear guard retired on our posi
tion at Makhunts Guiga and Yaolintas,
three miles north of the Shuanlunsa
Pass. The rear guaid held this po
sition under heavy fire until 2 o'clock
in the afternoon,- when, in accordance
with instructions, it retired- slowly
and in perfect order on the third po
sition at Tchjoutzziandiandza, just as
our main body was concentrating at
Datchapu and on the position at Mak

ACRE DISPUTB NEARS END.
Peru and Brazil Will Come to an Amica
ble Understanding.
Washington, July 13. Information
has come to the state department of a
prospective settlement of the Acre
boundary, dispute, which for a long
time has been a source of friction be
tween the governments of Brazil and
Peru. The contention involves the
ownership of a large tract of country,
rich in rubber production, which is
claimed alike by both countries.' " .
The information reaching the state
department is to the effect that the
plenipotentiaries of the two countries,
who have been meeting at Rio Janeiro
and Petropolis, Brazil, have come to an
agreement on . the disputed questions.
The nature of the agreement is not
known here.
Recently Brazil secured a quit-claim
to a certain portion of the disputed ter
ritory made by Bolivia and was in turn
met by the demands of Peru, which
also laid claim to portions of the tract.
SULTAN QIVBS IN.
Threat of American Fleet In Turkish
Brings Him to Time.
Vienna, July 13. A dispatch from
Constantinople says that American
Minister Leishman has handed a note
to the Porte " saying that unless a
prompt settlement of the school question
was arranged a United States fleet
would appear in Turkish waters. The
Sultan ordered the Grand Vizer to
comply with the minister's demands.
The American demands on the sul
tan are for privileges of schools and col
leges conducted by American teachers
equal to be given to foreign teachers,
for permission for " American profes
sional men to practice on equal terms
with foreigners, and for the direct ac
cesss of the American minister to the
sultan in. the transaction of business.
Reform of Congo Judiciary.
London, July 13. A dispatch from
Brussels to the Daily Telegram says
that King Leopold has decided to re
form the judicial system of the Congo
Free State in order, to avoid the estab
lishment of British consular tribunals.
Henceforth only Judges and magistrates
belonging to the Belgian courts will be
allowed to sit in the Congo Free State,
so that the best guarantees of justice
can be given all foreigneis there.
Anti-Christian Riots.
London, July 13. The Cheefoo cor
respondent of the Standard, in a dis
patch says : The American consul gen
eral, John Fowler, received news last
night that anti-Christian riots have
broken out at Cbao Yuen, about 651
miles from west of Chefoo. Immedi
ate assistance was asked. The Taotai
dispatched troops and telegraphed the
authorities at Hwang Hsien and Teng

quired. Foreigners are not believed
to be in danger. .The cause of the riots
is not known.

f f - ' - Dividing; a Stall.'
In some barns the. stalls are suffi
ciently wide so that they may be
divided when occasion requires If
some temporary division can be easily
made, put In place and removed when
desired. A plan for doing this 1b shown
in the illustration. A gate is made
of proper material reaching from the
manger to the end of the stall. The
post of this gate at the end Is mado
about a foot longer than the lower
rail and a hole Is made in the floor
through which this . post Is slipped
when put in position and thus makes
the gate or fence firm. At the manger
end the fence Is fastened to the man
ger by a pair of gate hinges.
Two stiff sticks are fastened to the
Joist above with a bolt, one over the
manger-end and one over the other
end. In the lower end of each of these
sticks a notch is cut which comes over
a , staple on the fence and holds it,
the fence, firm. When : the fence is
not in use it may be lifted from the
hinges and put away and the sticks
folded up against the Joists. The il
lustration shows the points mentioned
clearly. The cost of such a contriv
ance will be small and It will be found
exceedingly useful. Indianapolis

' Soda for Potatoes. ...
' In growing tomatoes nitrogen In the
soil is the least desired of the plant
foods and the best results will come
from phosphoric acid and potash liber
ally applied broadcast. Much has been
written regarding the use of nitrate of
so aa for tomato growing and while
this chemical is good. It should be
used with caution. Its function Is to
cause the plant to make a quick
growth; in other words give It a
start which w ill be kept up by the
phosphoric acid and the potash.
This being the case the best way to
use it is to watch the plants closely
as they grow and if any shows lack
of vigor sprinkle a teaspoonful of the
nitrate of soda about the plant. Us
ually one application will be sufficient
to start such plants off in good shape
and once they get a good start there
will be no trouble if the soil has been
properly enriched and proper cultiva
tion has been carried on.
Best Food for Fattening; Lambs.
Very careful experiments at the On
tario Agricultural College have shown
that an even mixture of peas and oats
made the most profit in feeding lambs.
Peas alone make the most gain, but
at a somewhat greater cost of feed.
Corn knd peas made a slightly smal
ler gain than the other feeds. But
the difference was so small that the
convenience of procuring the feed is
the largest element In the case. As
peas and oats may be grown together
very conveniently and cheaply, this
crop secures some advantages over
others which may give it a preference
In this regard.
Thrifty Melons.
Sow melons in a light rich soil; poul
try manure produces rapid growth. If
the season is very warm and moist the
vines may need to be pinched back to
secure early fruiting. . Musk-melons re
quire a season of about three and one
half months and watermelons about
four and one-half months, hence the
crop Is rather uncertain in this lati
tude. The crop is made more sure if
seeds are first started in a hotbed and
transplanted when they begin to run
to vine.
Six Days Enough.
I have been observing things for
many years and I never knew a man
to prosper who habitually worked on
Sunday. Some men will spend a day
or two In town during the week and
then they will feel that they are so
far behind that they must plant corn
on Sunday to catch up. The man who
gets a dollar by fraud will lose it and
another with It. The man who gains
by laboring on Sunday may make the
temporary worldly gains, but will lose
that which is Infinitely more valuable
to him than ali of this world's goods.

" Water Before Feeding.
- - Horses should be watered , before
their grain feed. This story has been
put to the experimental test. A horse
was fed with . four quarts of whole
oats, and , Immediately after given
water to drink. . Soon after the horse
was killed and opened. ' Scarcely a
quart of oats was ; found swimming
In the water In the stomach, the re
maining three quarts : having -been
forced by the water into the intestines.
Another horse was given water first,
and then about Nf our quarts of oats.
Fifteen minutes after this horse was
slaughtered, and the entire quantity
of oats was found In the stomach, and
already digestion was setting in.
Horses require more water in . hot
weather than In cold, and more when
at work than when idle. Horses at
.full work should be watered frequent
ly; three times a day is not too often.
The bay and grain should always be
pure and sweet.
Cars of Horses Necks.
- Nine out of every ten farm horses
suffer from abrasions of the skin on
the neck during the spring work and
this is so severe in many cases as to
keep the horse from doing a full day's
work. Try this plan of treating the
farm horse during the season of hard
work. After feeding the horse brush
off or, better still, wipe it off with
a large cloth. Then, with tepid water,
sponge the head,- neck and , shoulders
and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
If the shoulders show Indications of
soreness rub over them a little vase
line and let it remain over night. See
that the collar worn fits well and after
taking it off wipe it thoroughly with
a damp cloth and hang it where it
will be thoroughly dry in the morn
ing. It will pay well to take this little
additional care of the horse during
the working season if at no other time.
Indianapolis News.
Grain Feeding.
In some observations recently made
In the feeding-f&f grain to lambs, one
of the most noticeable results was the
early maturity of those that had grain
from birth. For instance, in one trial the
lambs fed with grain from birth at
tained an average weight of 113
pounds seven' weeks earlier than those
that had had no grain previous to fat
tening, and this weight was reached at
a smaller cost in the instance of the
lambs fad on grain from the start.
It is a hard matter to estimate the
amount of grain to feed, owing to the
variation in the consuming capacity
of sheep. In starting it has been cus
tomary to feed from half a pound to
one pound. A month later the wethers
will probably be taking from one to
two pounds, and during the last month
from two to three. American Cultiva
tor. - Field Beans and Soy Beans. ,
The average results for six years
at the Ontario station show that the .
following varieties of field beans have
given the highest yields: White Wen
derj Day Improved Leafless, Medium
or jvavy, .rearce improvea xree ana
Schofleld Pea. Based on the experi
ments with soy beans at the college,
the Early Yellow is recommended for
the production of grain for :feed, and
the Medium Green for ensiling with
corn.
Horses or Steam Wagons.
A firm of English millers have mads
an interesting test of the comparative
cost of hauling grain by horses or by
steam motors. The cost of - keeping
seven horses for the. year was about
$2,500. At the end of 1902 they sold
the horses and purchased a five-ton
steam machine, ran it 5,275 miles, car
ried 3,875 tons, and burned 41 tons
of coal at a total cost of $1,849, show
ing a decided gain for the steam ma
chine. Farm Notes. . ,
Keep all young animals growing and
gaining.
Avoid working horses in the rain aa
much as possible.
Ground feed is better than whole
grain for growing colts.
Sweet food for bogs is better than
that which is fermented and soured.
All rubbish and prunings from the
garden and orchard should be burned.
A failing appetite is generally the
first indication of an animal being
out of condition.
Coal ashes, as well as wood ashes,
should be saved and applied on wet,
heavy soils.
Conveniences for watering and feed
ing stock are items in saving time,
labor and feed on the farm.
Corn and oats, half of each, ground
together. . make one of the best kinds
of feed for cows in milk.
The best way to get rid of the cur
rant worm is to dust the leaves witb
white hellebore.
In nearly all cases, the best animals
are the offspring of mature parents on
both sides. -
Be ready to cut clover when the
largest number of plants are in bloom
and are turning brown.
It should be the aim of every breed
er of horses to raise well-bred and
well-trained animals. r
In the management of clover for hay
It is Important not to cure too dry, and
to store under shelter.
On many farms, exposure to the
weather Injures farm machinery fully
as much, if not more, than use.
