The place had been forti fied by the Rowians, who defended it stoutly, in the fighting General Kuro- k i’a troops drove the Russians from their strongly fortified position on the Chi river, which ia northwest of Mo Ten Pass and east of An Pin, inflicting upon the enemy more serious loesea than they sustained themselves. Tbe fight began on the 18th and ended on the 19th. The Japanese lost 424 men killed and wounded. The Russian losses are eat mated at 1,000. General Knroki began hia advance early in tbe morning of tbe 18th. The fighting continued until dark, when tbe Japanese forces bivouacked. Tbe Russians made two counter at tacks, but were repulsed in each-case. The Japanese renewed the attack at midnight, posting their artillery in tbe valley below and on the high ground to the south of the Russian po sition. The main Japanese body was assigned to attack the Russian centei, a small detachment sent toward the right flank and another to watch the enemy’s left flank. After these positions had been taken the fighting ceased for a time, but it was resumed at dgwp. The Russians had 32 guns in action, and they vigor ously Bbelled the Japanese. To this fire the Japanese replied, and the bom bardment lasted for four hours. Dur ing this time tbe Japanese infantry moved forward and the flankers bad succeeded in scaling tbe heights on the Russian right by 3 o’clock in the after noon, at which hour the main force was ordered to storm the Russian cen ter. The Japanese artillery protected this movement splendidly, but the in- laiitry met with a severe fire and lost heavily in earning the heights. The final successful charge was deliv ered a t 5:3Q. Jn the afternoon. The Japanese succeeded in partially cutting off the Russian retreat, and this soon beame a rout. The enemy retired in two directions, to the northward and to the eastward. The Russian forces engaged included, in addition to the artillery, seven battalions of infantry and a regiment of Coesacks. TARMEOS TO AID. Eastern Oregon Lands Be Irrigated. Washington, July 26. — It now ap pears that the Malheur Irrigation proj ect In Eastern Oregon will become a reality, and not have to be abandoned, as was feared. Advices were received by Chief Engineer Newell, of the re clamation service, today to the effect that the farmers living along Malheur river have aroused themselves and in tend to submit to the government their written promise to co-operate with the government in constructing this lrrigalon work. Mr. N ew ell’s crit icism o f these farmers, expressed through these dispatches a short time ago, and hia threat to remove hia en gineers from Malheur ebuntry unless the farmers acted on his suggestion, has had the desired effect, and the lo cal engineers are now convinced that before long the farmers along the Mal- heaur river w ill comply with the gov ernment’s requirements. I f farmers co-operate, they w ill have to pay but |3 per acre per year for 40 years, in order to get water from the govern ment reservoirs onto their lands, and at the end o f that time the entire works w ill be turned over to the users of the water. The government w ill mere ly retain control o f the work o f con struction until the cost has been re paid by settlers who are benefltted. W ork along the Malheur river is in such shape that as soon as the farm ers owning lands within the proposed irrigation area pledge themselves to pay the required amount, the govern ment w ill be ready to make final sur veys and plans preparatory to letting contracts. In the eyes o f the engin eers this project Is no longer ques tionable, but one that* promises com plete success. It remains with the farmers to say when work shall commence. It is ex plained in this connection that the government will not accept a' partial promise o f cooperation, or promises from only a part o f the farmers within the irrigation district. E very man who w ill be benefltted by this work must pledge himself to contribute his share o f the cost before the govern ment w ill adopt the project. The government today advertised for bids for 14,000 barrels of Portland cement to be used on the Minodoka Irrigation project in Southern Idaho. Bids w ill be received by Engineer D. W. Ross, at, Boise, uptil August 25. LARGE SHIPS TAKING NO RISKS. Japanese Holding Them Back for the Pinal Blow at Port A rthur. On Board the Mikasa, Admiral T ogo’s flagship, off Port Arthur, July 20, via F’usan, Corea, July 26.— In re ply to addresses made to him by the newspaper correspondents who are on board the steamer Manchuria, Admir al Togo said, modestly, that he felt complimented to learn that the world was interested in his victories, and it was his desire, through the press, to send his thanks to those persons who admire him.

Washington, July 25.— The Peruvi an Legation here has received a cable gram from Lima confirming the pub- dished reports of the signing of the treaty between Brazil at R io de Janeiro and establishing a mod is vivenda be tween Peru and Brazil for the govern ment of the region at the headwaters of the rivers Yurua and Purusa, other wise known as the Acre territory. It is understood that both sides w ill w ith draw their troopa from the disputed territory, trusting to diplomacy to set tle the question of title permanently. Panama Now Gold Standard.

Russian A d s In Red Sea Arouse Ire o f British People. rORCION MINISTER IN DILEMMA % Realizes That the Policy Postered by the King Will Be Repudiated —Press Is With the Public. London, July 22.— The Associated Press tonight intetviewed many promi nent persons connected and in close touch with the government relative to the seizure of British vessels by steamers of the Russian volunteer fleet in the Red sea. As a result of these inquiries, there is shown to be a hos tile feeling against Russia, of a strength and bitterness almost without prece dent. The most conservative men, who have been in the service of the government for many years, and who openly deplored the haste with which they thought Great Britain bad plunged into the Transvaal war, tonight frank ly declared for a policy of reprisal against what is regarded as Russia’s v i- o'ations of treaty and her piratital at tack on British commerce. The warlike tone of such papers like the Times, the Standard, the Morning Post, and the Daily Tele graph, which in national crises hither to almost invariably have advised cau tion, has bad its inevitable effect. There has been stirred up a storm o f indignation among all classes in the Gnited Kingdom, tbe strength of which the government itself can scarcely gauge. Those who deplored the out break of the war between Japan and Russia and insisted publicly and pri vately that Great Britain, crippled fi nancially, after her South African ex periences, must not, at all costs, be drawn into the Far Eastern struggle, are among the most outspoken cham pions of a physical force that w ill pre vent the repetition of the Malacca in cident in the Red sea. Those few officials at the foreign office who are in full possession of a ll details of Great Britain’ s desire to ar rive at an entente with Russia are in despair. They realize that the policy so carefully fostered by K ing Edward and Foreign Minister Landsdowne w ill now be indignanty repudiated by all parties in the house of commons, and involve with the public the downfall o f any ministry advocating it. Every nerve w ill be strained, how ever, by the foreign office to secure from Russia an explanation that w ill pacify the aggrieved feelinge of the British public, and no step w ill be taken officially that w ill tend to preju dice subsequent diplomatic negotiation» looking to the settlement of all im portant questions now outstanding be tween Russia and Great Britain. BIG STRIKE ENDS. Packers and Union Have Agreed to Settle Trouble by Arbitration. Chicago, July 22.— The strike of the packing-house employes begun nine days ago, and which has demoralized the packing industry through the coun try, was settled here tonight at a con ference between representatives of the packers, officials of the Meatcutters1, union and representatives of all the allied trades employed at the stock- y&rds. The whole controversy w ill be submitted to a board of arbitration, both sides agreeing to abide by what ever decision this hoard may raech. Pending the decision of the arbitra tion board, tbe men w ill be taken back to worx as rapidly as possible by the packers, and it is agreed by the packers that all the old employes are to be reinstated within 46 days from the date work is resumed, i f any o f the former employes are still unim- ployed at the expirfttion of that time, such persons are to have the privilege of submitting their cases to the arbi tration board for settlement. The strikers w ill return to work as soon as they can be notified of the peaceable adjustment of the trouble, and it ia expected that by tomoirow morning everything w ill be in normal shape at all the plants in the different cities where the employes were on strike. Japs Retreat A fte r Hot fig h t. St. Petresnurg, July 22.— The czar has received the following dispatch from General Kuropatkin, dated July 19: “ There has been no special change in the situation since July 17. “ A t 5 o’clock in the afternoon of Jnly—18, Japanese advance forces of considerable strength were observed in the direc tion of Sikseyaon, on the Liao Yang- Saimatsza road, proving against a de tachment of our troops. After tw o days’ fighting, the latter force is re treating toward the village of Houtsi- atsze, east of Anping.” St. Petersburg, July 26.— W hile not admitting the illegality of the action of the Russians in converting vessels of the volunteer fleet Into warships af ter they had reached the Red sea, it is probable, in view -of the fact that neu tral ships did not receive previous notice, that Russia, in order to remove the shadow o f a* cloud upon their right to fly the war flag, w ill formally notify the powers of their conversion Into warships, thus putting all neu trals upon their guards.
