NEW YORK, June 7.—It was not with his own revolver that “Caesar” Young was shot to death. The weapon was sold by G. R. Schnelder in Novem- | ber, 1865, in the establishment of Shov- | eriing, Daly & Gates, 302 Broadway. At that time Young was in San Fran- cisco. So close to the ownership of the | revolver are the detectives getting that | they are confident of sensational de-| velopments in the near future. | At a late hour to-night Detective Ser- | geant Armstrong went to the n.pan-i ments of J. Morgan Smith, who is mar- | ried to & sister of “Nan” Patterson, but was unable to obtain from him information of great import. It is un- derstood Smith was in New York dur- ing the summer, fall and early winter | of 1899. Upon his refusal to answer gquestions relating to the ownership | of the revolver with which “Caesar” Young was shot a subpena was served upon Smith directing him to appear to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock before the Grand Jury, which will begin an | investigation of the case. It is ex- pected Judge Clark will order the re- Jease of “Nan” Patterson to-morrow, he having indicated to-day his opinion | that the proceedings before Coroner Browne have not been legally con- ducted. “Young Corbett nce the ds has promised to ad- uired for the de- on.

NEW YORK, June 7.— Music hath power to charm the baleful mosquito and lure him to electrocution, accord- ing to Mrs. Amelia Weed Holbrook, |who read a paper on the curative properties of music before the Pro- | fessional Woman’s League to-day. | “It has been discovered that the | hearing apparatus of this little nuisance,” said Mrs. Holbrook, “is attuned to catch sounds and these can be made to vibrate to the pitch of cer- | tain musical notes. When these are | sounded the entire nervous system of the insect is affected and when raised |to a great number of vibrations per second, yet in harmony with a lower note, the mosquito becomes paralyzed. | When the note is sounded the mos- quito will plunge toward the music {and #f windows are opened from the | outside insects will fill the room and ]\\'ill precipitate themselves against the apparatus.” | —————————————— | INCENDIARY IS FOUND TO BE DEMENTED §VOMAN Mystery Surrounding Fires in Dead- wood Cleared Up by Arrest of Merchant's Wife.

Samsonoft’s Cossacks Harassing the Jap- anese Armies. Are Immense Amphitheater in the Hills Is Scene of Battle. LIAOYANG, June 7.—The Japanese have drawn in their advance guards from Vafangow. They blew. up part of the railway and the telegraph station on the night of June 3. The damage will be soon repaired. Samsonoff’s Cossacks are harassing the Japanese ‘toward Port Arthur. Cossacks searching the hills occasion- ally catch detached partjes unawares, Samsonoff's fight with the Japanese on June 3 in the valley of Putsiantun took place in an immense amphithea- ter in the 4fflls. Samsonoff threw for- ward skirmishers to feel out the Jap- anese positions. The Cossacks and dragoons crept forward, examining the steep hilleides, deep ravines and dry water courses likely to protect Jap- anese ambuscades. Finally the Japanese fire on the crest of the hills located them and the assailants swarmed up almost inacces. sible cliffs. The Jaqnnese at first kept in the shelter of'the rocks, but the Russian fire searched them out and they flitted shadowlike across the rocks as the Cossacks continued to' advance, while the dragoons cleared the valleys lead- ing from the amphitheater. The Jap- anese cavalry retreated, unwilling to risk a collision at close quarters. The Russian line encircled one great hill on which was the principal Jap- anese position and like a living ribbon crept toward the summit. Colonel Sereda led the advance until he fell wounded half way up the cliff. The command devolved upon Lieutenant Colonel Chicsville, who continued the forward movement, clearing the Jap- anese from the heights. In the meantime a Russian battery | placed an accurate shrapnel fire among the hilltops, hastening the Japanese retreat. Two Japanese sharpshooters on a hill seriously annoyed the Rus- slans at a critical perfod of the 4d- vance. An officer of Terileski’s com- pany scaled the rocks in the face of almost certain death and killed both of the Japanese, returning unharmed. Soon after the Rissians had occu- pied the hilltop and an intrenched vil- lage they received an order to retire. Just then the artillery Serve was brought into action and showered the retiring Russians with shrapnel, failed to get the exact range. Besides Colonel Sereda, Russians were wounded in the encounter. The Japanese losses to the accuracy of the Russ lery fire, seemed heavy. + TOURISTS day's owing n artil- ARE SAFE THROUGHOUT JA War in Far East in No Way Inter- | feres With Travel in the Empire Proper. The attention of the Japanese author- ities has been directed to the fact that, | since the breaking with Russia, a great out of hostilities falling off has taken place in the number of tourists | and business {ravelers who annually visit Japan. This decrease is naturally attributed to timidity on the part of swavelers, who fear danger and annoy- ance as the result of the war. ‘The Japanese Consul in this city is in receipt of instructions from the For- eign Department of his Government to say to the traveling public that these apprehensions are unfounded so far as Japan proper Is concerned. Perfect tranquillity prevails throughout the Is- land Empire and tourists and business | men are assured that they may come and go as safely and comfortably though no war existed. These assurances are repeated by the Kihiuki, which is a national associa- tion of great influence, especially formed to welceme travelers to Japan and to assist them in every way in the prosecution of their plans, whether of business or pleasure. This information will undoubtedly be received with satisfaction by the many tourists and ‘others who have deferred contemplated trips to Japan frcm fear of the annoyances which frequently ac- company a condition of war. ————————— Big Grain Fire Near Willows.
