The fire started at 8:30 this morn

The Daily Telegraph's Niu Chwang
correspondent declares that General
Kuropatkin is determined to check the
Japanese at Liao Yang, where probab
ly the greatest battle of the war will be
fought. He adds that the Japanese
land operations against Port Arthur
are meeting with little auccess and
that Lieutenant General Stoessel and
Major General Fock continue to make
well directed but desperate sorties
against the advance of the Japanese,
who are fighting with stubborn deter

Several hundred Japanese reinforce

Washington, May 27.— At the re
quest of Senator Mitchell, a reconnaia
ance party w ill proceed late in June to
make an investigation of the central
part of Lake county, Oregon, with a
view to ascertaining whether there is a
leasable location for the construction
of a large irrigation work by the gov
ernment. Senator Mitchell describes
this district as having a fine climate,
where all cereals, fruits ami vegetables
that are cultivated in any part of Ore
gon grow abundantly, and where there
is a large body of fine agricultural land.
The Chequican river, which flows
through this section, is reported to
furnish an ample supply of water for
reclamation of nearly, if not quite all,
these lands. It has beeii reported to
Senator Mitchell that reservoir sites

different points along the stream. Aa

London, May 26.— The Mukden cor
respondent of the London Morning Post
cables that he has been informer! on
excellent authority that the Cossacks
under General Remenkampf have suc
ceeded in cutting two trans|>ortcolumns
of the Japanese army and secured a
very large quantity of supplies.
Ac
cording to the correspondent, the Cos
sacks have also succeeded in greatly
harassing the Japanese line of commu
nication, with the result that General
Kuroki's column is in need of food and
ammunition. This fact has compelled
the Japanese to remain at Feng Wang
Cheng much longei than has been
planned, anil a forward movement will
not be undertaken until troops arrive
in sufficient strength to prevent further
interference with transport service.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Post states that General Kuropatkin,
after a minute inspection of I.iao Yang
and its defenses, told Admiral Alexieff,
who was with him, that the position
was vulnerable and shonld lie aban

the admiral, who declared the position
was absolutely impregnable.

minutes of the retirement of the jury
in the case of James N. Tyner and

of conspiracy in connection with their

General Tyner appeared greatly ex

The Japanese doll got up very early
one morning and harnessed his wooden
cow to the cart that be might go to
town.
He traveled and traveled along the
mantel shelf a great way. The wooden
cow did not go very fast so the
Japanese doll saw all the sights along
the way.
Suddenly he beard some one calling.
“ Jappy, Jappy, Jappy. stop!”
And the Japanese doll suld. "So.
Bossy! so Bossy!” to the cow. and the
cow stopped.
Then the doll saw wlio It was that
had called to him; It was a paper nun.
She was standing now In front of
the wooden cow, with a great earthern
Jar In her arms as big as a tub.
“ Your cow looked so hot and
thirsty," said the paper nuir, "that I
thought I would bring her something
to drink.”
“ You are very kind.” said the doll,
as the nun set the Jar down In the
roadway.
The cow sniffed It and then drank
It all up. for It was full of milk In
stead o f water.
A little Maltese kitten had followed
the nun. and'whlle the cow was busy
drinking the milk the kitten crept
from behind the nun’s skirts to lap
up some spatters of milk around the
bottom of the Jar.
Just then a loud and very peculiar
noise from away down the road— 1
mean the mantel shelf— made the kit
ten scamper off for safety.
The nun and the Japanese doll looked
down the road In the direction from
which the sound came.
Even the
wooden cow turned her head and the
kitten peeped around from the shelter
o f the nun’s black skirt.
What they saw was a yellow china
chicken coining with a hand-organ.
When It came lip to them the chicken
stopped, and It played such a merry
tune that the kitten came out In the
road where It could hear better.
The nun clapped her hands, for she
was good natured and liked a bit of
music now ami then; while the Japa
nese doll leaned over the rail o f his
cart and said to the chicken, "That
Is a very pretty tune, sir.”
The doll had Just finished speak
ing when the sun rose. Its bright rays
shone In at the window and clear
across the room. That made the man

were; they never move about by day
