Japanese War Ottics Publishes
Charges Against Russians.
Tokio, July 20.—The Jspanese wsr
office has made public a statement
charging the Russians with violation
of recognized rules of warfare.
The
statement alleges that on two occasions
tbe white flag haa been violated; that
once a Russian column fired persistent
ly on a field hospital where the Red
Cross flag was flying conspicuously,
thus compelling the Japanese to remove
the hospital amidst great danger.
Twice, it is alleged, the Russians
fired on the men of the Japanese hos
pital corps, although their badges could
readily be distinguished, On three oc
casions Japanese have «>ee-i stabbed,
slashed and mutilated. - On one occa
sion the Russians are declaied to have
stolen cattle and horses from nonconi-
batants and to have violated women.
It is also claimed that numerous cases
can be cited ^here the Russians have
wantonly fired on the Japanese
wounded and that they have refused to
premit parties who were succoring the
wounded on both sides to go unmolest
ed.
These chargee are made by General
Oku and it is stated that further
chargee will be made, growing out of
the experiences of General Kuroki’s
army.
In explaining the publication of
these charges, the Japaanese general
staff states that they had no desire to
take such action, but in view of Rus-
sia’s charges that they made through
the French papers there was rothing
else left tor them to do.

they were hindered by the marshy

difficulties in carrying off their dead

The Russians had expected a move

Twenty-Two People Are Killed and
Seventy Others Injured, Many of
Whom Are In Serious Condition-
Curve la Road Conceal» Danger
From Engineer.
Chicago, July 15.—Thia evening 22
members of the Sunday school of Do
remus Congregational church at Thir
ty-first and Butler streets, went to
death with joy in their hearts and a
hymn on tlieir 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 A Eastern
Illinois
railroad between Chicago
Heights and Glenwood, 25 miles from
Chicago. Today was tire annual picnic
of the Sunday school, and, as in former
years, several hundred of the children,
with their parents and friends, had
gone to tha picnic grounds at Mo
mence, III., 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 maae 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
te»ond 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 train, 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 was
on tlie north-bound track.
There was no time for more than the
setting the brakes, then, with unslack
ened Bpe<‘d, 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 Will Attack Ta Tche Klae—
Victory Will Compal Evacuation.
fit. Petersburg, July 15.—Steadily
and cautiously General Oku’s army
from the south, and General Nodixu’s
army from the east, are closing in on
Ta Tche Kiao, where General Kuropat
kin is reported to Ire entrenched. One
hundred and thirty thousand inen are
involved in the movement. The next
few days will determine to what extant
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 ot tire 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 Knro is massing his
troops near the Pkhamlin pass and
moving out by both roads upon Hai-
cheng. Heavy pressure from thia
quarter would render Ta Tclre Kiao un
tenable.
All the Japanese energies now seem
to Ire concentrated on Ta Tcha Kiao
and Haicheng.
The operations to the north, which
throughout may have been feints, have
been suddenly suspended.
Immense Meat Shipment Conclude«.
Minneapolis, July 15.—Advires re-
cieved at Northern Pacific headquarters
states that the heaviest order ol canned
meat to ctosn the Pacific hae been suc
cessfully delivered on the Pacific Coast
and loaded alroard the steamer Shaw

consists of a rush order for 1,000,000
pounds of canned beef for the sulraist-
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 ia reason to

sels of tire Russian volunteer fleet, and

Japan Breathes Basler.
Tokio, July 15 —It ia thought by the
treaty Iretween 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 »qua
namity the extension of “Pacific
•one" to include Russia, since such a
development would in nowise hinder
the fulfillment of Japanese purposes.
