Liao-Yang, (By Cable).? The Ja panese lost 200 killed and a number of j horses in the fight at Vagenfuchu The Russians opened fire at 8 in the morning, and after two hours ai)d a half long range firing the Japanese, under General Akkiama, prepared *tc charge and crush the force which had been harassing them for twenty-one days. In the meantime General Samsonofl was approaching Vagenfuchu with a strong force of cavalry. It was a sight worth seeing, when at- the word of command the Russian squadron* formed and rushed like a whirlwind across the terribly cut up country clearing away all obstacles, the bat teries at the same time trotting along the frightful road. Having passed the railroad station the troops came under the fire of the Japanese machine guns, but withdrew without suffering much loss. Annihilated With Lances. The fourth and sixth companies ol the Eighth Siberian Cossacks furious ly charged the Japanese cavalry with Juices, attacking both flanks. In a ? ew minutes they literally cut the whole squadron into pieces. Thisiwas the first time lances were used and they struck terror into the enemy. In some cases the lances pierced the rid rrs through and wounded their horses, ^ome of the lances could not be with drawn from the bodies into which they bad entered. The Japanese infantry, numbering four battalions of 300 men to acom pany, and eight squaJrons of cavalry attempted to advance, but the Russian batteries opened, and soon the slope ap which the enemy was advancing was covered with black spots and the tnemy was forced to scatter and retire. >ome of the Japanese calvary were wonderfully dashing, charging with fthouts upon the Russians, who met ?nd scattered them. Decapitated an Officer. A Cossack who had lost his lance tnd sword wrenched a sword from a {aapnese officer and cut off the of fer's head. The Cossacks picked up boots which afldbeen takan off by the Japanese in ftrracilftate ther flight and flour ished them on their lances as trophies. The Japanese used the Boer trick of displaying dummies, but the Cos sacks did not waste a shot on them. Corntt a Hero. Kai-Chou, Liao-Tung, (By Cable). ? A Russian, who was wounded in the fight near the station at Vagenfuchu, says Generar SamsonofT attacked the Japanese near the railroad, a mile from Vagenfuchu station. A cornet of the frontier guards was the hero of the fight. His sergeant was ly ing woundeJ and a Japanese officer was about to ride over him when the cornet unhorsed the Japanese, mounted the lattcr's horse and placed the wounded man on his own charg er. The Japanese cavalry engaged was the Thirteenth Regiment. Their horses were splendid animals. Sakharoff's Report. St. Petersburg, (By Cable).? Gen eral Sakharoff has telegraphed as fol lows to the general staff: "According to reports the Japanese commander in the action of May 30. near Vagenfuchu, had three battal ions of infantry in reserve. Our losses were 17 men killed and 2.1 wounded, and Licntcnant Meyer and another officer, whose name has not been ascertained, wounded. The Ja panese losses were very considerable "One squadron of the Thirteenth Japanese cavalry was annihilated in a hand-to-hand encounter and anothet squadron, which came to its assist ance, suffered great loss from the fire of our frontier guards and riflemen We capturced nineteen horses."

If the voluntary declaration of a dying man is to be believed, finis lias been writ- | ten to the historic Snell tragedy of 15 years ago and Tascot, the long sought murderer, self-identified, has paid the penalty of his crime with penitence and now fills an unmarked grave in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness, whither lie had fled for the cffacement of his individuality. Philip Robertson, a strictly relia ble man, prospector and miner, re ceived the dying man's confession and tells the story simply and dramatical ly. Robertson left the Klondike cap ital, he says, late last fall in a small boat bound for the new placer grounds at Fairbanks. He reached a point near Dahl River in a particularly desolate and forbidden region, when the forlorn wailing of a dog surprised his ears. He found the dog, a half starved shepherd, seemingly in much distress. Following this animal Rob ertson was brought to a seemingly deserted cabin ,.ome 400 yards above the river concealed in a clump of spruce. "I ventured to the door of the shack and knocked," says Robertson, "and there was a feeble 'come in.' All w^s darkness inside and there was no sign of a fire. I caught sight of a bit of candle, which I lighted, and then ad vanced to where a man lay. "With a feeble effort he turned and stared at me for fuliy a minute. Then he said: 'Are you an officer?' "The question amazed me a bit. 'No,' I said, 'I am a miner, and if there is anything I can do for you I want to do it.' "I soon had a fire going and again approached the bed. The man's hair was white as snow, his face had a color in it that looked like death, and he had the most terrified and hopeless expression I have ever seen on a hu man being. "'Partner,' he said, finally, rolling over on his side and little more than whispering, 'I am leaving a world that I did not appreciate. I'm going to , where I belong.' "He lapsed into silence again; and what I thought was a sleep came over him. Two hours passed and he suddenly wakened with a shriek and then sank back in bed. "In a few minutes he gave another scream and straightened up in bed. Then, in a voice you would think came from a good, strong man, he said: 'See here, boys, my name ts Tascott. I'm Tascott. Do you under stand? I'm Tascott that they've been hunting like a wolf for years. I can not run any more. I'm getting paid for what I did. I know I'm dying, and I know where I'll go. Tell the hoys when they come back that I am Tascott, and you can tell the world, too, for the worlJ has hunted me a long time.' "About 3 in the morning I heard a noise like a man expelling all the air from his lungs. I rushed over to the bed and felt the man's pulse and heart He was dead. "The next day his partners got back and I told them what happened. They were the strangest fellows I ever met in the North. They did iipt say who they were. They did not even thank me for staying with their dead. They did not even ask me to join them at their meal, but they buried the man, and, rolling up their things in a blank et, they started across country in the direction of the Koyukuk. "Before going one of them came to me abruptly. 'See here,' he said, 'you've seen and heard what you ve heard. You can't make anything <>y talking about it. lie's dead, and that s all there is to it.' "Before I could ask him anything, he had struck the trail, and that was the last I saw of him. I have never told about this until now, but that dead man asked me to make his stork public, and so I do so. I solemnly be lieve that he was tortured to death by thinking of his own life, and the belief that lie was always the object ot pursuit, and I as surely believe that he told the truth in saying that he was Tascott. It's my opinion that his partner knew it, too." POISONED BY CANNED PEAS. Pl?e Persons Are Made II) and Two Hart Since Died. New York, (Special). ? After eating a can of green peas a few days ago an entire family, consisting of five per sons, were taken ill. Two of them have already died, a third cannot recover, and the other two arc still ill, although it is be lieve their chances of recovery is good. Gniseppe Obraco, his wife Marie, his daughter Angelina, 18 years of age, and his son Vincent, 14, and Antonio, it, had a can of peas for supper last Friday. A short time later they were all taken ill and grew rapidly worse. A physician advised that the family go to a hospital, but they all refusen. Saturday Vincent, the elder son. died; Monday Angelina died, and Antonio is beyond help. Baodlag Cases Reaiaded. Jefferson City, Mo., (Special) ?

For the first time ?n five year# the Government will be confronted by a deficit at the close of the present fis cal year, which will end on June 30 next. Secretary Shaw, in his annual report to Congress last December, declared his belief that there would be a surplus of $14,000,600 in the Treasury at the end of the present year. The fiscal experts of the Gov ernment hesitate about making state ments for publication, but privately admit that the Secretary shot wide of the mark. The deficit will be due to decreased Federal receipts, in creased Governmetn expenditures, es pecially for the military establish ment; the $50,000,000 payment on the purchase of the Panama canal prop erty and the appropriation of $4,600, 000 for the St. Louis Exposition. For 11 months of the present year the total receipts of the Government have been $493,300,230 and the total expenditures $545,.205..tf>3. or a deficit of $51,965,138 for the 11 months of the present fiscal year. compared with the Treasury statement of May jl, 190.1, the above figures are ex ceedingly interesting. For the 1 1 months ended May 31, 1903. the re ceipts of the Government were $510, 533471 and the expenditures $471. 584.855. leaving the Government with a surplus of $38,948,616 on that day. It is pointed out by the officials of the Treasury that much of the short age this year has been due to the Panama (Janal and St. Louis Exposi tion expenditures, and that if this total of $54,600,000 were deducted from the expense account of the Gov ernment there would be a surplus of $2,334,611 for the first 11 months of Hhc current year, as against a sur plus of $38,946,619 for the same period a year ago. As compared x^th a year ago, the receipts of this fiscal year have fallen off about $17,000,000. and the expendi tures for ordinary purposes have in creased about $22,000,000. Including the Panama and St. Louis expendi tures the expenditures are $75,000,000 greater than a year ago. Posts aster UpbcM. Justice Brown delivered the opinion of the United States Supreme Court in the case of the Public Clearing* house vs. F. E. Coyne, postmaster of Chicago. The case was brought to enjoin the enforcement of a fraud or der prohibiting the delivery of mail matter addressed to the clearinghouse, which has a co-operative scheme by which it promised large returns to subscribers. Thev were required to pay $3 cash and $i per month for 60 months, with the promise of lajK? returns at the end of that time. The court held that the Postmaster Gener at had not exceeded hi# authority in issuing the order saying that the sue cess of the enterprise depended on getting a constantly increasing num ber sOf subscribers, with the certain ty that those who held on to the last would lose their money. It therefore, said the court, lacked every element of a legitimate enterprise, and its mail was properly withheld in the protec tion of the public. Justice Peckham dissented. President'* Plaas. While only tentative arrangements have been made for the President's so journ during the summer at Oyster Bay, it has been decided that he will leave Washington for his summer home on the morning of Saturday, July 2. He has decided to receive his notification of the nomination at Oys ter Bay. The date will depend very largely on the desires of the mem bers of the notification committee. It probably will be early in July. It is expected that the President will re^ turn to Washington in the last week of July, to remain here until about the middle of August, when he will re turn to Oyester Bay for perhaps a month. When he returns to Wash ington, in September, he will re main here until election day, going then to Oyster Bay to cast his vote. Cm|ksmii Oct's Ptia.

Mayor Rob in Milligan McLane committed sui :ide Monday afternoon by standing In front of a mirror in the dressing room of bis home, 29 West Preston street, and firing a bullet through his ?lead. The shot was fired from a ^2 raliber revolver at 3.15 o'clock in the afternoon, but death did not ensue intil 4.45 o'clock.- During the inter vening time a number of prominent physicians* had been summoned to the house, but they all saw the utter hopelessness of the case, anJ so ap prised the members of the family. Though many causes have been ad vanced by friends and the community it large as to the solution of the un fortunate affair, the Mayor left lothing, so far as has been discovered; which would give the slightest ini tiation as to what prompted the deed Mr. McLane had been married just 16 days, and it is said that the mem bers of his family objected to the j\atch. This condition of affairs and the strain of the duties of his official position and the criticisms made in ronnection with his administration arc thought to have played an important ?rt in the tragedy. However, Mrs. McLane stated that her husband waj perfectly happy and stood up wel! under the strain of administration af fairs. She also said that four minutes prior to the shooting the Mayor had been chatting pleasantly with her, and teemed to be in the very best ot ipirits. Though Mrs. McLane was in the house when the shot was fired, she was not at her husband's bedside when he died. Mr. James L. McLane. father pf the Mayor, who was summoned immediately after the occurence, was the only member of the family at the oedside when death came. INSANE MAN ATTACKS SLEEPING FAMILY. Helpless Vlctlns Cat ud Slashed With a Hatchet? Twa Will Die. Scranton, Pa., '(Special). ? Stephen Hagerty, aged 26 years, who has shown signs of being mentally un balanced. made a murderous attack on four members of his family at their' hom;, in Hawley, Pa., with the result that two of his victims arc un conscious and not expected to live, and the other two are seriously, though not necessarily fatally injured. Hag gerty secured a lather's hatchet, with which he attacked his brother An thony, who lay asleep in a room downstairs. He struck him twice. Leaving Anthony for dead the in sane man rushed upstairs to the room occupied by his sisters, Winifred and Bridget. He attacked them as he had Anthony, crushing Bridget's skull ?nd breaking Winifred's collarbone. Haggcriy next proceeded to the room occupied by his brother Eugene and Patrick. The former attempted to es cape. but a blow on the head fractured his skull. By this time the father had been aroused, and he* and Patrick threw themselves upon Stephen, over powering him. The physicians have little hope that Eugene and Bridget will recover. Several weeks ago Mrs. Hannah D'Keefe. who lived next door to the Haggerty's, was murdered, her body >eing horribly mutilated. John Steltz was tried for the crime and was ac quitted last week. It is now believed Haggerty was the murderer. FREIQHT CAR ROBBERS. Chased By Detective, Two Leaped Into Rivet aad Drowned. Cleveland, O., (Special). ? While being pursued by a detective two men, thought to be ? freight caf robbers lumped into the river and it is sup posed were drowned or killed. A detective discovered four men in the Baltimore and Ohio yards acting in a suspicious manner. The men separated jnd, disregarding the order to halt, fled. Detective Wilson pur sued two of them toward the river, firing his revolver repeatedly as he ran. Without hesitating the two men jumped into the swollen river.

(Special). ? Secretary Hay sent word to Raisuli, the Mo roccan bapdit* chief, through Consul jummerc, that if any harm conies to *is American captive. Ion Perdiciri*, the United States will hunt him to his death whether it takes weeks or months or years. Mr. Gummere was instructed to transmit this notification to Raisuli in is forcible language as it can be put and to tell him that no* European Power will be allowed to stand in the way of his punishment. Thin mes sage was sent to Consul Gummere and it is understood that a courier id -.low on his way to deliver it. At the .tame time Mr. Gummere was instructed to prolong the negotia tions with the bandits long as possible in the hope that France will step in and settle the matter rather than to have Morocco invaded by at? American army. The bandits have moved further back into the mountains since tlu-y heard that American warships wcr.1 Touting and now are several hundred niles from ' Tangier, which make? ronununieation with them more ditti :ult than it was at first. Mr. Hay's positive declaration that t Mr. Perdicaris is killed the United States itselt will take in hand the pun shment of his slayers, is in line witlr 'he policy mapped out by the Presi lent. It is a settled conclusion, ac rording to Secretary Hay. that the erms imposed by Raisuli cannot and vill not be complied with. Jf the ban lit chief makes good his threat and Mr. Perdicaris is killed the Sultan will >c told that the whole band must b< racked down and executed and Arner can warships will stay at Tangier to watch developments. Although the Sultan is acting in full conformity with the wishes of Mr. Hay there is Tardly a hope that lie will be able to lunt the bandits down in case that jecomes necessary. As soon as it becomes apparent that the Sultan is powerless, this government will take the matter into ts own hands and send cavalry, which is accustomed to mountain canipaign ng, into the mountains of Morocco in pursuit of Raisuli and his band, and .he chase will not end until all of the murderers have been caught and exe cuted. This is the progrim the Presi dent has decided on. The invasion of Morocco will he strictly a friendly one, so far as the Sultan is concerned, and his troops probably will co-operate with the American troops and act as guides. Whether England contemplates simi lar action, and Mr. Hay is acting with 1 knowledge of her intentions, cannot be learned. But Cromwell Varley, who was kidnaped with Mr. Pardi caris, is a British subject and it is not believed that England would leave the punishment of his murderers entirely to the United States. It is, therefore, considered probable that it there i? an invasion of Morocco. American and British troops will operate side by side. JEALOUSY PROMPTS TRAQEDY.

Now ami then one roads of an inci dent wblcli is almost startling because of its aptness. The following anec dote. told by the founder ami former President of the Massachusetts Society, for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani* mats, is an illustration of this, and also of the principle that reason and the law of right and justice lie at the bottom of hnmau character, and will in the end prevail.

The stranger mentioned a suburb of Boston. Mr. Angell looked up quickly. "Do you know anything about thef ?laughter house there?" h?* asked. "Well. T guess 1 do. I've run one of them for twenty years, and I'm going to quit. I've done enough cruelty to anim.tls, and now I'm goiiiK to see if I can't do them some good." "What sent you here?" "I don't know; I Just thought INI come in." This was exactly the opportunity needed by Mr. Angell Ilore was ? man who from his own personal ex perience had seen and sickened of th<? horrors of the evil the society wished to banish. The questions came fhlck and fast, and In the next hour eitouxh testimony was given to fill out a report which was the means of doing nway with the slaughter house brutalities ami estab lishing what was then the llnest abat toir in the country.
