Repeated Clashes Betwee - Soldiers of Kuropatkin - o and Kuroki. ST. PETERSBURG, May 31, 1:30 p. m.--The-War Office has received a de-’ talled report of the fight at Aiyang- plenmen, about sixty miles northeast of-Fengwangcheng, on Saturday night, in which two battallons of Japanese.in- fantry and one squadron‘of Japanese cavalry, numbering about 2200 men, at- tacked five squadrons of Cossacks, The were - séven Cossacks killed and one officer ‘weunded: and atne horses kliled. 5% The - following - official ‘dispatch has’ recelved by the general staff:: *“From May 29 to May 30 all has been qulet in the: neighborhood of Feng-' wangcheng. B s “At 10:30 ‘p. im., May 27, a force of Japanese infantry from Kuandiansian commenced a frontal flank attack upon the position occupied by sur Cossacks near Shaoago. fifteen versts northwest of Kuandiansian. The Japanese, under the cover of darkness opened a rum- ning, desuitory fire, using field search- lights. The Cossacks retired on foot to Chanlin pass, two versts west of Shaoago, and subsequently on Aiyang- pienmen, sixteen virsts west of Chan- lin pass. The firing ceased at 2 o‘clock on the morning of -May 28, When the Japanese ceased the ‘pur- suit at the entrance of Chanlin pass. The same day the first section of a Jap- amese detachment approached Aiyang- pienmen, but afierward retired to the summit of the hills west of the town. “At 10 a. m: they formed up in order of battle, the force consisting of two battalions, with one other in reserve. At 11 a. m. a battery of artillery took up a position and opened fire with shrapnel. While crossing the valley the Japanese infantry, advancing in close formation, suffered heavily. At 11:20 the Cossacks, observing that the Jap- anese were turning their right flank, retired in good order on Saimatsza. The fire of the rear guard ceased at 2 p. m. We lost two officers and seven Cossacks.” There is considerable talk in unoffi- cial circles regarding the strength of the Japanese force which engaged the Cossacks at Alyangpienmen. It is evi- dent that the Japanese have a large body of troops northeast of Fengwang- cheng, which, it is suggested, will ad- vance when General Kuroki deems the moment opportune to effect a turning movement on Mukden. “On May 30 the Japanese advanced toward Saimatsza. Their movements | were watched by Cossacks. When this telegram was dispatched the Japanese had not arrived at Saimatsza. “Up to May 29 the Japanese had not occupied Siuyen. All is quiet on the coast, at Newchwang and at Seniu- chen. ! “Shortly before noon on May 30 our | cavalry opened fire near the railroad station at Hagenfuchu against an ad- vancing Japanese force consisting of eight companies of troeps and four machine guns. During the ensuing battle our mounted men brilliantly at- Ilacked a Japanese squadron on the | enemy’s left flank and almost com- ‘plemly annihilated it. The sotnias | then attacked the infantry, but retired under the fire of the machine guns. { The advance of the Japanese infantry in order to turn our left flank was opped by the fire or our battery, which inflicted considerable loss on the enemy. Our losses have npt yet been definitely ascertained, but' so far as known ome officer and 20 men were { wounded and 25 horses were lost. The Russian press is sparing of its comment on the Kinchou affair, but there is an evident disinclination to accept the Japanese official reports in their entirety. The general tone of the papers indicates the belier that in the | event of the fall of Port Arthur it would not decide the war. Much praise is given for the splendid defense of Nanshan made by the Russians against superjor numbers. . The statement emanating from Paris that General Kuropatkin was sending 30,000 troops to the southward in an attempt to save Port Arthur from the Japanese is declared here to be un- true. By an imperial ukase just issued the control of the ports of Reval, Svea- borg and Libau and all the naval forces of the Baltic has been transfer- red to the commandant of the port of Kronstadt, with the title of commander in chief of the fleet and ports and of the defense of the Baltic Sea. The ob- ject of the consolidation of the com- mands is to insure uniformity in the measures adopted in the defense of the coasts of the Baltic during the exist- ing state of war. The renewed intimation of foreign mediation in the war is considered in Gevernment circles to be entirely out of nlace and impertinent, in view. of Russia’s specific declaration in diplo- matic circles that mediation was re- garded as being beyond the range of possibility at the present time. et LAMSDORFF ASSAULTED.

NEW YORK, May 31.—Former President Cleveland has always found it expedient to write industriously on shooting topics during the busy season of political discussion. Not only does he write, but he takes his gun or rod and steals away into wilds un~ frequented by politicians or reporters. Mr. Cleveland has contributed aa article for the Independent, describ- ing the joys of gunning for shore birds and plover. He says that sometimes he has sat and watched for hours without seeing a bird, just as he has frequently sat on a log for four or five hours without getting a bite. —_———— GRANTS NEW TRIAL ON DEFECTIVE TESTIMONY Judge Dole Holds That Evidence of Grand Juror in Meheula Case Is Irregular. HONOLULU, May 25.—A new trial has been granted to Solomon Meheula, formerly clerk of the House of Rep- resentatives, who was found guilty by a jury of destroying vouchers of the House instead of turning them over to the Federal officials. Judge Dole held that the testimony of a grand juror in repeating to the trial jury what Meheula had testified before the Grand Jury should not have been in- troduced. When his case comes up for trial again this testimony must be omitted, thus materially weakening the case for the prosecution. B g — “NO MORE FLIRTING"” IS EDICT TO TRAINMEN Complaint of Passengers on Elevated Roads Causes Adoption of a Strict Rule. NEW YORK, May 31.—Complaints by persons residing near the elevated railroads here have caused the man- agement to issue an order which, in effect, forbids the motormen, guards and other employes attempting to flirt while on duty. The order intimates that not only have trainmen been guilty of letting their attention wan< der from duty, but ticket-takers have been known to gaze so intently at Foreign Minister Lamsdorft while he was at dinner this evening. ST. PETERSBURG, June 1, 5 a. m. The rumor that an attempt had been made to assassinate Foreign Minister Lamsdorff is untrue. ST. PETERSBURG, May 31.—Gos- sip concerning Count Lamsdorff's early retirement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is renewed. The re- port in the present instance seems based, mot so much on political grounds, as upon manifestations of personal hostility outside ministerial circles. The fact that Count Lams- dorff notified foreign diplomats to-day that he would not receive on his regu« lar reception day, to-morrow, is being used to add color to the reports of his retirement, although this may only be a coincidence of little significance. Such notifications have not been un- common during the past year. It is considered that these reports may be spread by ministers who are his personal enemies, and some of whom, it is well known, have sought to undermine him for some time. —— e Notice to Passengers. transferred to and from all trains, steamers, etc., at low rates.

H Leo’W. McRay sued the Government ; in the Southern District of Ohio to re- cover $50 paid by him as a penalty for the sale of a fifty-pound package of colored oleomargerine containing & stamp tax of three-quarters of a cent a pound Instead of 10 cents a pound.; McRay's counsel argued first. that.| although the *oleo” was colored to| look llke butter, the color was obtained | by the use of butter which was itself artificlaily colored, but the use of which | as an ingredient in the manufacture of “oleo” was authorized by law: and, second, that the tax of 10 cents a pound was prohibitive and conflscatory and an attempted federa! usurpation of the police powers of the States. The court sald that the tax con- templated the finished product and not the details of. manufacture. If the “oleo” was colored it should have the higher tax and if uncolored the lower tax, regardless of how obtained. As to the amount of the tax, the court said it was settled that the court could not consider the amount of any tax fixed by Congress, this being purely a political function. The court therefore affirmed the judgment of the lower court, uphold- 4ing the validity of the law and the tax. “The Chief Justice and Justices Brown and Peckham dissented. —_——e——————— FORESTRY JOBS NOT IN PATRONAGE LIST President Roosevelt Says Vacancies Will Be Filled by Promoting Head Rangers.
