,(S fighting. largely with artillery, the
j tlrst Japanese army, under General

Yalu ri\<r and Sunday with a gallant
charge covering a frontage of four
miles, it drove the Russians from Chin
I Tien Cheng and the heights on the
right hank of the llio or Aicla river,
which enters the Yalu from ute
North almost opposite Wiju. The Japanese
turned the left flank of the Russian
position and in the battle of Sunday
they swept the new front interposed
by the Russians to check their
* onward movement. The presentl position
of the Japanese ia a dominating
yone and they may force the abandonment
of the defenses erected by the
Russians at Antung and otner points
lowpr down the river.

CONGRESS ADJOURNS
Minority Leader Williams Offers Resolutions
Commending the Impartial
Conduct of the Speaker.
The closing Thursday of the second
session of the House of the Fiftyciglith
For gross was made notable by
Ihc demonstration which was evoked
by a resolution offered by Mr. Williams,
the minority leader, testifying
to the courtesy and fair and impartial
manner in which Speaker Cannon had
presided over the House. The resolution
was not of the perfunctory kind,
but was expressive of the kindly feeling
which men in the House of all parLies
entertained toward him in i
graceful speech the Speaker de?-hired
his appreciation of tlie resolution.
Many conference reports wore agreed
to on l)ills which had been in dispute
between the two Houses. in< Indium
that on the bill for the government of
the canal zone. The only debate of
anv importance was on the bill proriding
for the restoration to the Naval
Academy of three cadets who had
been dismissed for hazing, lite House
voting overwhelmingly against it.
When the resolution for adjournment
was presented, Mr. Williams, of
Mississippi, the minority leader, remarked
that "while the Democrats personally
would feel very glad to get
back to their homes they would regret
for a long time the in-action of the
majority of the House that seems anxious
to leave the post of duty and leave
a situation bristling with legislation
that ought to lie considered."
Mr. Payne said that he felt assured
'that after seven years of uninterrupted
Republican rule the country
*111 sny that every important interest
has been carefully guarded by the
Republican party by th?, legislation of
those seven years."
The time was within five minutes
r?> the hour set for adjournment when
VI.. V V ' I 1 I I r, . . . i .1 4 1
.?i i . ?? i iiiui'io, ii hi 111 iuj|ii vDciivr aiirui r,
was recognized to present a resolution
>\pr"^slv? of the appreciation of the
ilous<* for the fair and impartial manner
in which the Speaker had presided
aver that body. The resolution refers
0 the sturdy common sense and Rental
good humor which hare been dismayed
by the Speaker, and which have
Induced the Speaker, and which have
duced the members of the House it-ell'
in a degree almost unprecedented,
in imitation of him. to di piny the j
?Rme sterling American characteristic !
n their deliberations and mutual deal- i
ngs. Mr. Williams said that it was j
1 great thing to he n Speaker of the j
House or Commons of the American
republic, hut that it was a greater j
thing "not to permit the fact of pro- |
motion to that place, one of the most \
xalted in the world, to turn one's I
lead in the slightest degree, or to dr.- j
leer one from the course hitherto pursued
of being a plain American itizen j
ivith extraordinary common sense and '
. remarkable fund of that most char- |
Motoristtc oi an AmericH quaii'ies - |
Rcnial humor."
Mr. Williams then convulsed tho
House by referring to a < onverar.tion
iio once hart with the ?p aker. in tho
our so of which he sairt: "Mr. Speaker,
[ will always think that you are as fair
its I believe vou will he." The Speaker
l.e sairt. replied; "John. I am goim to
tie as fair as I can consistently w?th
Ihe exigencies of American politics."
Mr. Williams rteclared that the
Speaker dirt himself injustice when he
put that limitation upon his stat< [rent,
"hut." Mr. Williams sairt. "it was
haracteristic of the frankness and
andor of the man to put in the limitation."
The resolution was unanimously
adopted on a rising vote, and
li e Speaker was escorted to the rostiiim
amid frantic applause, lie v. a
lisibly affected when he thanked the
House for the resolution, saying it
touched hint more than lie could exbrens.
Ho sairt, among other things:
"In the nature of tilings, tiie conrsts
on the liustings and in tin* hall of
lie House a re spirited an ! earnest. I
ivoulrt he I. ss than human did I not
:ay tltat while, far the time being, I .
o-operate with the majority, after till. I
ho minority litis a function to perform |
llmost equal in importance to the
"iinction ??f tin- niajoiity. it :s a
l atter of gratifh ation not only to me
sow. fmt as I reeollei I it at tlio close
f tlie various Congresses of which I
lave been a member. that when the
mat of contest has (lit <1 away there
vcr remains respect upon each side for
ho other, for the efforts of intelligent,
patriotic, brave men who represent
heir constituents a< roi ling to the reipectivo
judgments."
The Speaker ;?t 'J: 10 oh lock adjourned
the House, and was given one of
he greatest demonstrations of regard
.ver witnessed in the House of Representatives.
As, to a man the members
rose and sang 'Winer: a," tho occupants
of the gallene ; joined in.
Speaker Cannon took - position near
;he lobby door on the Ilepuhliean side,
tnd the members filed past and hade
liim "good-live," all the while singing,
'He's a jolly good fellow," with a refrain.
"?o say we all of us' 'to the tunc
if "America." closing with "God he
with you till we meet again."
Senate Adjournr.i.n:.
With a brief announcement and a
sharp rap of his well-worked navel,
President Pro Tem Kryc adjourned the
Senate sine die at 2 p. m. Thursday,
he hour fixed by the resolution of tho
wo Houses of Congress. The occurrent
e was devoid of ".nil null incident.
'I he greater pari of the day was de
nn^d to a political debate which was
participated in < 11 tlit- Ilcpuhlicun side
[>v Messrs. Allison and Aldrieli. and on
;iir l)enu?eratie side by Messrs. <b?rI'lttu
and Culberson. The President
\nd his cabinet oeeuplcd the Pre ilout's
room during a part of the cle
bate, and some of the President's ad
risers, were among the most interested
listeners to the < run Ism an.t doren; e
of their ehicf. Mrs. Koo evelt and
I otner members of the President's
family occupied suits in the gallerj
toward the close of the session, and
they, too, found entertainment in the
proceedings. The only important acts
of legislation during the day were tin
presentation and neeoptame ??f eon
lerence reports on the Panama < anal
government and einergeney river and
hrrhor hills. Neither reputt aroused
debate.
After the adoption of a resolution of
thanks to Mr. Fryo. the presiding of
