PROGRESS OF THE WAR.
Assaults on Various Positions
Around the Beleagured City?Repulsed
Last Saturday.
St. Petersburg-, By Cable.?The following
dispatch has been received at
the War Office from General Zilinsky:
"The following reports have reached
here (Liao Yang) from Port Arthur:
'On June 26th the Japanese displayed
great activity at all their outposts,
and in the hope of recapturing
the mountains of War-Tsei-Laza (?)
which had been taken from them,
they attacked, but were again repulsed
and our troops now occupy the village
of Beikhohoon, northeast of Sia-PingTao.
The enemy maintained a heavy
fire at long range on oyr left flank
from their squadron, which lies in
Talien-Wan Bay, in full view of Port
Arthur. It consists of a cruiser, two
torpedo boat destroyers, and seven
merchant ships, which evidently
brought cargoes into the bay.
" 'On the night of June 24th-June
25th the Japanese torpedo boats reapproached
the fortress, and at four
in the morning of June 26th the enemy
began to cannonade from their
vessels in Siao-Ping-Tao Bay, direct
ing their fire towards the whole coast
towards the north, from the bay to
Mount Ult-Selo, and then attacked in
great force, firstly height No. 131;
secondly, height No. 126.
" 'The latter were attacked by a
small detachment landed for this purpose.
These two positions were held
by our riflemen, who, after driving
off three attacks with heavy losses,
retired, and, being pressed by the enemy,
sought refuge on the heights of
Loun-Van-Tian. The enemy attacked
this position in great force, employing
at least a division, but the assaults
were repulsed.
"'At 3:30 p. m. the Japanese appeared
on the Port Arthur road in
great strength and attacked KwinShan
(Guin-San-Shan). The riflemen
who held the right with two battalions,
retired. The Japanese turned
them from the rear, losing heavily in
the manoeuvre. Our torpedo boats
were of small assistance to us, advancing
on Loun-Van-Tian and bombarding
the coast occupied by the enemy.
" 'Our losses were seven officers
and about two hundred soldiers killed
or wounded. Our mines exploded at
the proper time, blowing up at least
fifty Japanese. Their losses were evidently
considerable.
"'According to the latest advices,

Our gunboats proceeded yesterday

that had been circulated to the effect
that he had fortified a position on
Rock Mountain and was prepared to
resist arrest. He was placed in jail

At Close of Fiscal Year
SECRETARY SHAW'S STATEMENT
Comparison Between Estimated and
Actual Receipts and Expenditures
?Actual Receipts, $541,186,745; Actual
Expenditures, $527,939,071?
Available Cash.
Washington, Spocial. ? Secretary
Shaw gave out a statement showing J
the comparison between the estimates
which he submitted to Congress in his
last annual report and the actual receipts
and disbursements during the
fiscal year from which it appears that
the actual surplus is only about threefourths
of a million less than the estimated
surplus, when account is taken
only of expenditures which were considered
in submitting the estimate.
In the estimate submitted to Congress.
I no account was taken of possible ex
penditures In securing the right of
way for the Isthmian canal, nor ot
the loan of $4,600,000 to the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition Company.
The estimated receipts of the government
for the fiscal year were $530 000,000;
actual receipts, $541,186,745.
The estimated expenditures were
$516,000,000; actual . expenditures,
$527,939,071. Surplus, estimated. $14,000,000;
actual, $13,247,674.
The expenditures are exclusive of
$54,000,000 paid on accpunt of the Panama
canal and the loan to the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition.
The available cash, June 30, 1904,
amounted to $166,965,872.
As compared with the fiscal year
ended July 1, 1903, these figures
show increases and decreases in receipts
as follows:
Customs, decrease $21,823,235; internal
revenue, increase $2,320,440;
miscellaneous increase, $1,802,014.
The civil and miscellaneous expenditures

expenditures on account of the War
Department were $3,211,897 lass than
for 1903, and the expenditures on account

greater than for 1903.
Pensions show an increase of over
$4,000,000 as compared with 1903.
The ProhibitioN Ticket.
Jndianapolis, Special.?The Prohibition
party in national convention
Thursday nominated Silas C. Swallow,
of Pennsylvania, for President,
and George W. Carroll, of Texas, for
Vice-President. The platform was
adopted without argument after a long
deadlock in the resolutions committee.
It was described by A. H. Ames of Oregon,
secretary of the committee as the
broadest platform ever put before the
people by the party. In addition to
the planks on the liquor question, it
declares the party to be in favor of
international arbitration, a suffrage
law based on moral and mental qualifications,
uniform laws for the country
and dependencies, popular election
of Senators, civil service extension
and the initiative and referendum.
The trust question was recognized by
a rigid demand for the application of
the principles of justice to all organizations
of capital and labor. A re
form of divorce laws is demanded,
and polygamy denounced.
Gen. Miles put an end to the movement
to nominate him for President
by sending to John G. Woolley a
telegram from New York, asking that
his name be not presented. The telj
egram read:
"Appreciating the good will of yourself
and friends, I muse earnestly request
that my name be not used in
the convention, and that ray letter
of June 20 be considered as final.
"NELSON A. MILES."
This was considered final and the
movement to Mr. Swallow was unanimous,
no other name being considered.

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS
\
He says that Abuse of Liberty of th? j
Press is Rare?Punishable Contempl
is Defined.
Asheville, N. C., Special.?Judge J. C.
Pritchard, of the United States Circuit
Court, has filed his opinion in the case
of Mr. Josephus Daniels, editor of the
Releigh News and Observer, who had
been fined $2,000 for contempt of court
by District Judge Thomas R. Purneil.
The case came up on a writ of habeas
corpus sued out by Mr. Daniels, who
refused to pay the fine and was ordered
committed.
Judge Pritchard's opinion is a careful
and comprehensive review of the law as
applied to newspaper utterances that
might be construed as contempt of
court. The opinion says that in order
to determine whether the petitioner is
entitled to the relief prayed for in his
writ it is necessary to determine two
questions: (1) Did the court which imposed
the sentence in his case have
jurisdiction and (2) Does this court
have jurisdiction to hear and determine
this case on a writ of habeas corpns?
"The force of public opinion in this
- -? -? iL.
country in favor or tne ireeaom oi iu? i
press has restrained the free exercise
of the power to punish this class of
contempts, and in many jurisdictions
statutes have been enacted depriving
the court of the power to punish them.
It was taken from the Federal courts
by the act of Congress of 1831, which
act deprives these courts of the common-law
power to protect by this process
their suitors, witnesses, officers
and themselves against the libel of the
press, though published and circulated
during the trial of a case therein.
"The newspapers sometimes engage
in unwarrantable criticism of the
courts cannot he denied," continues the
Judge. "In some Instances they construe
the liberty of the press as a license
to authorize them to engage in
wholesale abuse of the court, but these
instances are rare and do not warrant
a departure from the well-settled principles
of the law as declared by Congress
and construed by the courts. If
judges charged with the administration
of the law are not to be criticised
on account of their own conduct the
liberty of the press is a^idged and
the rights of individuals imperiled.
"There may be instances where the
publication of editorials or other matter
in newspapers would bring the author
within the limitations of the statute.
For instance, if a newspaper
should publish an article concerning a
trial which was being considered by a
jury and should send a copy of tne
paper containing such article to the
jury or a member thereof during the
progress of the trial for the purpose of
influencing them in their decision, It
would present a question whether such
conduct would not be misbehavior in
the presence of the court or so near
thereto as to obstruct the administration
of justice.
"It appears that the distinguished
Judge who adjudged the petitioner to
be in contempt of court," he concludes,
"exceeded the authority granted in the
act of 1831 and that the Court was
without jurisdiction. Such being the
case, the judgment of the court is void
and therefore a nullity.
"In view of the foregoing, the Court
firds that the petitioner is unlawfully
restrained of his liberty, and it is therefore
considered and ordered by the
court that the said Josephus Daniels
be discharged from the custody of the
Marshal of the United States and that
he go hence without day."
Good, if Not Popular Teaching.
In his address to the young Blackstones
and Mansflelds of Maryland University's
Daw School John Brooks
Leavitt taught a doctrine that will not
commend itself to some very eminent
and opulent members of the profession.
"No lawyer," he said, "is justified in
devising schemes by which, under the
guise of evasion, his clients may really
commit br :hes of the law."
No Peace Overtures.
Washington, Special.?While the officials
here are satisfied from their private
advices that the recent visit of
King Edward to his nephew, Emperor
William, was not brought about by a
purpose to initiate a movement toward
the restoration of peace between Russia
and Japan, there is reason to believe
that some very careful and discreet
inquiries as to the opportunities
of some such overtures at this time
have emanated from Washington. It
may be stated that the result has been
to disclose the fact that neither of the
belligerent powers is yet m a humor to
sue for peace, nor even to entertain
overtures from any third power on that
subject.
Life Insurance for Creditors.
Macon, Ga? Special.?The executors

Of the amount, about $400,000 is placed

Augusta, Savannah and Valdosta.
