It is reported that che Russian loss in last night's engagement was 2,100 and the Japanese 1,200. The Japanese have also been in active con? tact with the Russians east of Hai Cheng, where there have been many minor actions. All along Kuropatkin's front and flank the Japanese are moving into position, but the general attack is be? ing postponed until supplies and reen forcements come to the front. Pro? gress along the muddy roads and mountain passes is slow. THE MOTIEN PASS REPULSE. St. Petersburg, July 19.-The war office has no further details of the Russian repulse at Motien pass. The loss of men, which it is freely admit? ted will probably be considerably in excess of Gen. Kuropatkin's figures given out last night, is greatly deplor? ed. But evidently the engagement at least served the purpose ol? demonstrat? ing that Gen. Kuroki's army has been heavily reenforced north, and the general staff is now inclined to be? lieve that the Japanese" commander may have decided that* a frontal attack from the south is inadvisable and is concentrating" is forces for a direct at? tack on Liao Yang. GEN. OKU'S REENFORCEMENT^. I London, July 20.-The Daily Chron? icle this morning prints a dispatch from its Yin Kow correspondent under da;ts of July 19, saying that the reen forcements for which Gen.

I Fall River, Mass, July 20.-Unless the cotton mill managers of this city who operate what is known a3 union plants, abandon their announced in? tention of inaugurating on Monday next a new scale of wages which would reduce the earnings of their employes 12}4 per cent., 31,000 operatives will stop work following the strike vote cast tonight by the Textile Workers union. By a vote of 1,510 to 396 the union men decided to strike Monday, dis? carding tile suggestion of the textile council that a strike was inadvisable at this time. The question of striking was voted upon at me sting tonight by five sepa? rate unions of mill workers. Two of the organisations, the carders union and the spinners nnon, voted against, the strike, but they are bound by a two-third vote of the textile workers' union of which they are members and will walk out with the weavers, the loom fixeni and the slasher tenders. It is the general belief in the city tonight that the mill owners will re? consider their decision to reduce wages and so avoid a strike. This belief is based on the argument of the union leaders tbat tbe cotton and cloth markets are in such conditions that a shut down at this time would be ruinous tc the manufacturers. Fall River,-Mass., July 21.-The pre? vailing fe sling among the cotton mill operative.'?, who last night voted to strike on Monday next rather than sub? mit to a .'.2 1-2 per cent, reduction in wages, was more bitter tonight than at any time since the annoucement by the mill owners. Operatives tonight made the statement that with a 12 ?-2 per cent, reduction tbe wages of many of the employees would be as low as $4.80 for a,week's work. At the manufacturers' meeting this afternoon it Was voted to open the mills Monday morning as usual, and give the operatives who desire at 'chance to work. This action was unanimous. The ejecutivo committee of the tex? tile cour cil will within the next 48 hours isiiue the formal strike order. MEAT PACKERS STRIKE AGAIN. Strikers Claim That the Packers Kaye Violated the Agreement. ? Chicago, July 22.-All packing house employes, here and in other pack ! ing centers were again ordered out on strike . today by the union officers, under the pretext that the packers have violated the agreement on winch the strike was declared off. The rea? son given for renewing the strike is that the packers did not give work to all tho men who reported this morn? ing._ HOT RI POLITICS. Order Issued Employes of State Dispensary. Columbia, July 20.-State Commis? sioner Tatum bas issued an order as to tbe actions of State constables and other empknes of the dispensary in politics. This order follows that of Gove rnor Heyward issued some time ago through Chief Constable Hammet, and has been sent each constable throughout the State. The order is not intended to interfere with the political freedom of the employes in expressing their choice for any of the candidates out, but is simply to prevent them usinu the influence of the institution for or against any candidate. The order is as follows: Columbia, S. C., July 20, 1904. To Employes of the South Carolina Dispensary : For the guidance of your political conduct, the following rule is promul? gated : Dispensary employes must not use the influence incident to their posi tiors for or against any candidate, whether byjtalking politics during bus? iness hours, or by asing official letter heads at all on which to write* politi? cal communications.

Eutawville, July 20.-The coroner's ir quest at Eutawville examined 12 witnesses, all of which failed to place the responsibility of the killing of Kitt Bookard on any man or company oil men. The jury of inquest asked for an ajournment until some future date, hoping in the meantime that evidence will come forward to place the responsibility of the crime on the guilty parties. The goodfcitizens of this community i>re using their best efforts to mete out justice to the perpetrators of the crime. Solicitor Hildebrand and Mr. Summers of Orangeburg represented the State.

THE COAST IM LOST. Verdict of $875 Aqainst thc Rail? road. Columbia, July 20.-A verdict of $875 was returned against the Coast Line road this afternoon by the jury in the suit brought by E. L. Richard? son against that company. The snit was a most interesting one and the original complaint asked for So,OOO. The hearing of the evidence consumed nearly all day yesterday and the argu? ments took up a greater part of the time this morning. Railroad men took considerable interest in tbe pro? ceedings, because it concerned the sale of a ticket to a point at which the train on which Richardson was riding did not stop. t It seems that several months ago Mr. Richardson bought a ticket to Latta, and the rule was that a change should be made at Florence for the train which stopped at that place. However, the plaintiff was put off at Pee Dee, which is about eight miles this side of Latt2, because the train on which be was riing made no stop, although he was riding made no stop, station. Suit was filed for 85,000, and when the point was raised that the train should have stopped at the sta? tion, although there were orders to the contrary, there was considerable interest taken in the outcome, as it concerns the right of a passenger to stop a common carrier at certain points and the right of a railroad com? pany to eject a passenger at a point not named on the ticket. The verdict and the whole case will undoubtedly end in the supreme court, as the coun? sel for the road, Messrs. Barron and Ray, have already given notice of a motion for a new trial. Struck Dead by Lightning. Pickens, July 19.-During a terrific thunder storm at Easley Saturday af? ternoon Mrs William Hutsou was in? stantly kiiled by lightning.

The mother held in her arms her little child, which was unharmed, though every bone in the "mother's body was shattered. I Timmonsville, July 2L-Miss Mary Reynolds, a young lady of 18 years who lived near town, was struck by lighten? ing this afternoon and instantly kill? ed. She was sitting on the back piaz? za with the family, some of whom were within three feet of her, but were uninjured. O. B. Davis.

Forbes, cf Camden County, who is attending the summer school, boasts of teaching the most ponderous pupil this country has ever produced. H:Is name is Lewis Lewark, son of John Lewark, a fisherman on Albe? marle Sound. He is 21 years old and weighs 710 pounds. When he went to school to Mr. Forbes he weighed over 500 pounds and his mother told Mr. Forbes that Lewis weighed 150 pounds before he was weaned. He exhibits himself sometimes, going to Virginia Beach, Norfolk and m other nearby places. He will not venture far from home -is afraid of an accident or that he will get sick. He sleeps on an iron bedstead and and has a chair especial? ly constructed for him. Weak Hearts Are caused by indigestion. If you eat a little too much, or if you are subject to attacks of indigestion, the stomach ex? pands-swells, and puffs up against the heart. This crowds the heart and shortens the breath. Rapid heart beats and heart disease is the final result. Kodol Dys? pepsia Cure digests what you eat, takes the strain off the heart, cures indigestion' dyspepsia, sour stomach, and contributes nourishment, strength and health to every organ of the body.

Rogers, Wife of the Chief of Police. BishnpviIle, Lee county, July 13. At an early hour this morning people were shocked at hearing of the sudden death last night of Mrs. W. H. Rog? ers, the young wife of the chief of po? lice of the town. Late yesterday afternoon she walked out with her husband and little two months old baby, stopping on th* way at the houses of some of her friends as was ber wont. She returned to her home about dark and soon retired with her infant, her husband sleeping in an adjoining room. In the early morning he was arous? ed by the crying of the little one whom the found lying in his mother's arms. Upon attempting to arouse h?3 wife he saw that she was unconscious and hurriedly aroused the neighbors aDd sent for medical assistance. In a short time Drs. Manning and Jennings were on the spot, but it was too late. She had died before their arrival, presumably from heart fail? ure-a sad ending to a sweet and lovely life. As Aimee Kelly she was a favorite with all old and young. With a smile for each qf her friends and a warm graceful courtesy for all about her, she captivated all with whom she came in contact. The deepest sympathy is felt for the stricken husband and the motherless baby, who is now being tenderly eared for by loving hands until definite arrangements can be made for its fu? ture well doing.
