advance iu the direction of Yinkow on
July 11. IlisCotaicks ambushed the
Japanese columu, and put 1,000 out ot
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 of! their dead
and wounded daring the retreat.
The Russians had expected a move

of cavalry with to guns lay in am
bush in the high grass, catching the
Japanese in the remotest part of the
coast and shattering their advance col

were unable to make effective reply.
They were forced to retreat. The

Japanese Flag Is Hoisted.
New York, July IS. The Japanese
have hoisted their national flag on
Rose island, in Chemulpo harbor, says
a Herald dispatch front Seoul, Corea.
Tho Corean fortifications thereon are
still permitted to fly the Corean ensign,
but this ia dwarfed by the larger em
b'em 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 Corea ns lack
the finances the executive ability
requisite to a "proper development of
these resources.

PKEDICT RUIN FOR PANAMA.
Merchants Strongly Object to American
Cotton House.
Panama, July 18. The decree of
Governor Dais establishing a custom
house in the canal tone has created 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. 1
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 piove 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

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 the Pacific Mail steamship company,
which he considers against the rights
of the republic, and sent a copy of it to
the president and to the agents of the

CITY FRIENDS OF QOOO ROAD5.
WOI too Fanner Accept Then- Aid or
Treat Them as Meddler.
Among thoee interested in road im
provement, the farmeis of couree stand
first. The character and condition of
the roads are of vital interest to thetu
every day of the year. The farmers,
until recently, have been compelled to
struggle ith the road problem without
much help or encouragement from any
other class. Now, howover, some strong
elements of the city population are
rallying to their support. Among
these may be named the manufacturer
of road building machinery; the nak
era and users of bicycles and automo
biles; and the moneyed men of the
citiea who have money invested in the
country. These people are entering
into the work for the road improve
ment with even more enthusiasm and
teal than the farmers.
Just now tha farmers who want bet
ter roads are brought face to face with
a most important question: Will he
accept the assistance of these city al
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 euhance their pleasure,
wholly at the expense of the farmer,
then he should spurn the profferd at-
liauce. 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 hi'
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 roads. '
As a matter of fact state and national
aid offer the only hope of general road
mprovement, 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 every ef
fort to secure the powerful aid of the
state and federal g tvernments.

Japanese Seem Likely to Shut In Kuro
patkin' 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
Icha 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
feint against Taipingehan, and the
Muscovite leader finally discovered
that the enemy, inetead 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 Kaipmg. ice Kusaians 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 is

which lumber and other supplies for

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

from the United States authorities, is
criticised as a violation of the treaty

DEATH ENDS TRIP
CHICAGO PICNIC TRAIN COLLIDES
WITH A FREIGHT.
Twenty-Two People Are Killed and
Seventy OtDcrs Injured, Many ol
Whom Are la Serious Condition
Curve In Road Conceals Danger
From Engineer.
Chicago, July 15. This evening -1
meniWrs of the Sunday school of IV
remus Congregational church at Thirty-first
and Butler streets, went to
oath with joy in their hearts and a
hymn on their lips. Seventy people,
mostly children, members of the same
unday school, were maimed ami
mangled at the same time.
The carnage occurred in a collision
on the tracks of the Chicago & Kasturn
llinois railroad between Chicago
Heights and Glcnwood, 5 miles from
Chicago. Today was the annual picnic
f the Sunday school, and, as in former
years, seveial hundred ol the childien,
ith their pareitts and friends, had
gone to tho 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 accideut oc-
urred.
Two accidents combined to make the
lisaster. The first was the breaking
own 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
se-ond freight train. Becanee 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
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
ime to keep out of the way of the com
ing picnic train, which it believed vu
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 CLOSB IN.
Japanese Wilt Attack Ta Tche Kiao-
Victory Will Compel Evacuation.
St. Petersburg, July 15. Steadily
and cautiously Geneial 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 it 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 Ilaicheng.
The operations to the north, which
throughout may have been feints, have
been suddenly suspended.
Immense Meat Shipment Concluded.
Minneapolis, July 15. Advices re-
cieved at Northern Pacific headquarters
states that the heaviest order of canned
meat to cioss the Pacific has leen suc
cessfully delivered on the Pacific Coast
and loaded aboard the Bteamer 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
ence 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 bt. f eteraburg.
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, "Paoific
zone" to include Russia, since such
development would in nowise hinder
the fulfillment of Japanese purposes.
