The Emper or has received from General Kuropat kin the following telegram, dated June 9th: "The Japanese bombardment June 8 on the coast between Senyuchan and Kaiping caused no loss of life, nor ma terial damage, though a considerable number of charges were fired. One man doing hospital duty was fatally wounded, and two -wagons were damag ed. All was quiet on the coast this morning, but several Japanese ships were cruising in the offing. On June 7th, the Japanese slowly continued their march toward Siu Yen by the Taku shan and Fen Wang Cheng roaus. Their advance "guard did not approach nearer than five miles south and east of Siu Yen. On the morning of June 8. a Japanese infantry brigade, two mountain batteries and five squadrons of cavalry marched against Siu Yen. About 11 o'clock, the Japanese appear ed before the town on the south side, but were checked by a very successful fire from our batteries. "Japanese infantry then began ad vancing against the town from the east by the Feng "Wang Cheng road, and came in contact wuth the Cossacks holding the pass. After two hours fighting, the Cossacks were obliged to retire and our artillery opened fire along. the pass, not allowing the Japa anese to establish themselves. At this moment a Japanese mountain bittery arrived and took a position to the south, but after firing a few rounds was si lenced by our battery. A second Japa nese battery did not succeed in get ting into action, but was compelled to evacuate its position under the fire of our guns. "In the course, of the fight, a flank ing movement by several battalions of Japanese infantry was observed north of Siu Yen threatening our line of re treat. -Consequently our Cossacks grad ually withdrew five miles from Siu Yen, keeping up their fire from a bat tery on a dense, column of the enemy at a range of 600 yards. The fire slack ened about Ave in the afternoon. Among our losses were Cheremlsslneff, chief of Cossacks Cornet Komarovski and Lieutenant Colonel Possokoff. "In the affair of June 7 and Varingo we had one rifleman wounded, but the Japanese sustained considerable losses. According to the testimony of residents they had 40 killed or wounded. "Details of the affair at Saimatsza follows: June 7 at 7 p. m. an outpost, company on the Aiyang road was at tacked by. the enemy. A detachment of Chasseurs was sent as a reinforcement. More Japanese then appeared. One battalion with a mountain battery po sition before Saimatsza. The Chas seurs at first pressed the Japanese, in flicting losses and taking rifles and equipments from the killed, but the ad vance was checked by a very severe fire. (Rfeinforcements now joined the enemy, bringing up their strength to a brigade of infantry, two batteries of artillery and three squadrons of cav alry. Thereupon the commander of our detachment ordered a retreat towards Fenchulin pass. The detachment with drew slowly and in good order, hold ing successive positions. Our wounded included Captain Makharoff and Lieu tenant Ronjitski. Both offiecers, how ever, remained in the ranks. About one hundred men were killed or wound ed. The enemy suffered severely. Ac coutrements taken from the Japanese dead show that they belonged to the twelfth division. "The commander of our detachment compliments the calmness of our troops and reports that the conduct of the Red Cross department was excellent." Russians Treat McCormick Alright. St. Petersburg, June 10. Ambassador McCormick says the story is absurd that he has been cooly treated by Rus sian society because as a part of his official duties he takes care of Japanese interests or as a consequence of the supposed friendship in the United States towards Japan.

Wireless Telegrams by Night London," June 1 The Daily Mail's Che Foo correspondent says: ""The Japanese consul has discovered that a wireless telegraph apparatus is attached in the night time to the Rus sian consular flag staff here and that the consulate is in communication with Port Arthur Plans for Departure of the Port Arthur Squadron. St. Petersburg, June 10.-4:15 p. m. There is reason to -believe that the plans for the departture of the Port Arthur squadron, in the event that the fall of the fortress becomes imminent, have been completed. They invite the co-operation of the Vladivostock squad ron. After the blockading fleet has been engaged, the uninjured Russians will effect a juncture with the Vladi vostock squadron and make their way to Vladivostock. The attempt may oc cur at the first favorable opportunity. MANY ARE DESTITUTE. People in the Flood Stricken Country Are in Deplorable Condition. Washington, June 10. A strong ap peal for advisory assistance for the people in the flood-stricken country in the west reached here today in a tel egram to the department of agricul ture, from Representative Charles C. Reid, of Arkansas. He wired as follows: "Almost the entire Arkansas river bottoms inundated. Probably all the cotton crop destroyed. It is extreme by late to replant. Can you suggest the kind of cotton seed that mature early in the fall and where it may be ob tained. It is contended that cotton planted now. will not mature. Please furnish as early as possible any in formation that you may have of value to us. The loss to this country is the biggest ever known. Many families are destitute." Acting Secretary of Agriculture Brigham immediately conferred with his assistants, and Later Colonel Brig ham telegraphed in reply that he regretted that the department could not furnish the seeds, and said: "If the local seed is planted immediately by the 15th, there is possibility of getting crop, but the chances are against it. It is difficult to procure seed from here in time to makea crop." Colonel Brigham then suggested two varieties of cotton, and added: "There is a better chance to secure crop of corn if planted before Jury 1. Consult with the experiment sta tion at Fayetteville regarding the ad visability of planting sweet potatoes and especially cow peas. There, is al ways a. good sale for cow peas seed."

NOT GUILTY Hannah Elias Freed from the Charge of Extortion MADE BY PLATT She WTas Discharged on Motion of the Assistant District Attorney at the Conclusion of Piatt's Evidence Immediately She Wras Re-arrested on a Civil Suit, Brought Against Her by 3Ir. Piatt, But Later Was Released on $20,000 Boni Piatt Made a Disappointing Witness. New York, June 10. Hannah Elias was discharged late this afternoon on motion of Assistant District Attor ney Rand, acting for District Attor ney Jerome, at the conclusion of the testimony of John R. Piatt, the aged millionaire, who recently caused her arrest for extortion. Mr. Piatt proved a disappointing witness The questions bearing directly on the charges on Which the woman's arrest had been made, he answered repeatedly: "I don't know." His helplessness and his apparent ly unreliable memory surprised those who attended bis examination. He did not remember whether he had given the woman large sums of mon ey during the last ten years, as charged, and did not remember signing certain of the papers in con nection with his charges against her. The eordeal was a trying one for the aged man, and his replies became scarcely audible toward the .last .As soon as he had left the witness chair, Assistant District Attorney Rand said: , , , "Your honor, I think the parties to this miserable scandal ought to be allowed to sleep in their own grease. There is no evidence before you that will possibly serve to hold this woman on a charge of extortion. I recom mend that she be discharged." The magistrate thereupon dis charged the womna. Immediately afterwards she was arrested on a writ of the civil suit originally brought against her by Mr. Piatt to recover $858,000. She was released a few minutes later on $20",000 bail and was escorted by two detectives through the crowded cor ridors of the criminal courts building to the street, where her carriage was waiting. Several thousand persons, among them hundreds' of negyoes attracted by the case, thronged the building and stood crowded in the streets outside. When Mr. Piatt, feeble and tremb ling and apparently dazed, was helped out of the building, the crowd hooted and hissed. Mr. Piatt, in his testimony, said he first met Hannah Elias about, fif teen years ago. Some time later he again met the woman at a Third ave nue massage establishment, through an advertisement and had kept up the acquaintance. Since then his rela tions with her had been of a tender character and he had bought' for her a house and had given her large sums of money. "She was your mistress?" asked Assistant District Attorney Rand. "She was not my mistress." replied Mr. Piatt. The aged witness then appeared to become very much confused, and to the several subsequent questions he replied that he could not remember and referred the question to his ques tioner. Mr. Piatt would not give a definite answer to the question as to whether he had paid the woman $60,000 in January. 1898, but did re member he gave her $7,500 last month. This payment was made, be said, because she told him she was being sued and would have to go to court and expose -him unless the money was paid. She told him this, that if he was taken to court she would be obliged to testify as to her relations wath the witness1. "What were those relations,", asked Mr. Rand. "Business." "Did you not pay her because of relations of a more tender character than doctor and patient?" T had relations with her and paid hr sums of money," replied Mr. Piatt. "I gave her the money because she said she wrould be put out." "Did you give her the money will ingly?" "Yes." Mr. Osborne, attorney for Hannah Elias. admitted that she had received the $7,500 mentioned in the com plaint, but said that it was not given by reason of any threats.

Committee Will Inspect Sites at Wrightsville and Morehead City Colonel Bragaw Favorg Wrights ville. (Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, N. C, June 10. Today the board of officers met in the Gov ernor's office to decide upon the loca tion of the encampment of the Second and Third regiments of the Rational Guard of this state. There were pres ent Adjutant General Royster, Gener al Joseph F. Armfield, commanding the first brigade; Colonels Robertson, Bragaw and Craig, of the three in fantry regiments; Quartermaster Gen eral Macon and Major Lloyd, assist ant engineer officer; Inspector General Bain, Lieutenant Colonel Minor, of the Third regiment; Paymaster Gen eral Walker Taylor; Lieutenant Col onel Alfred Williams, of the adjutant general's department; Majors Al bright, Bernard and Staples Fuller, Captain Daniels and Captain Metts. The date of the encampment of the Second and Third regiments was fixed from the 9th to 19th of August, both dates inclusive. There was no agreement as to the place. Colonel Walker Taylor, Cap tain John Van B. Metts and A. B. Skelding presented the claims of Wrightsville. Colonel Bragaw said he favored Wrightsville. Colonel Craig prefers Morehead City. A board was appointed, composed of General Arm field and Colonels Bragaw and Craig to inspect both places and report to the Governor. The next matter taken up 'was the revision of the military law. This matter was presented by General Royster. The advisory board and a 'special committee, composed of General Woodruff, Inspector General Bain, Lieutenant Colonel Minor and Major Fuller were assigned the work of revision. Captain Thomas C. Dan iels,, of New Bern, commander of the naval reserves, said it was very de sirable to have a cruise during the summer, and urged that allowance be made from the military fund, pro vided by the general government un der the Dick bill, the 'game used by land forces. The matter was referred to General Royster, Quartermaster General Macon and Captain Daniels. The government will furnish a vessel for the cruise. Captain Daniels said uniforms were needed for naval re serves, and it was found that other states were securing these under the Dick bill. This will also be given spe cial attention. -. Colonel Robertson,' of the First regiment, invited the officers to at tend the grand manoeuvres at Manas sas, in which his regiment is to par ticipate. The board also took up the matter; of the participation of the First regiment in the manoeuvres of the regular army and National Guard at Manassas. Several persons appear ed before the board, to talk about the advantages of location for the en campment, among these being Super intendent S. L. Dill, of the Atlantic and North Carolina .railway, who spoke of the merits of Morehead City. General Armfield was interviewed regarding the condition of the Na tional Guard, and said it was in pretty good shape, yet needed many things, its greatest need being work in the field. It is sadly deficient in practical field exercises, not only as to manoeuvres, entrenching, but also so far as the quartermaster and commissary departments are con cerned. It is of great necessity to have instruction, both of officers and men, as to the regulation methods of oaring for troops in the field. The equipment is constantly improving and the hope is to soon have a' thor ough equipment. The new rifles are of great advantage. General Arm field regards General Woodruff, U. S. A., who is on duty at headquarters here, as an officer whose services are of very great value to the state along all lines Passenger on an Old Dominion Steamer Commits Suicide. New York, June 10. George Bil lups, of Norfolk, Va., a cabin passen ger on the Old Dominion line steamer Princess Anne from Newport News and Norfolk, jumped overboard to day while the vessel was steaming up the lower bay off the Romer shoal.

SENT AWAY Many Union Miners De ported from the Law less Section AN APPEAL MADE To President Roosevelt by the West ern Federation of Miners to Investi gate the Condition in Colorado Affecting Scenes at the Departure of the Miners Wlio Are Being Deported Another Party of Ex iled Men Will Soon Leave the Dis trict Secretary Hamlin, of the Miners, jAssociation, Issues a State ment Colorado Springs 'June; M0. 'Act ing u.-der the orders of Adjutant General Sherman Bell, of the state national guard, a special train was made up shortly after noon to-day in the Short Line yards at Victor for the deportation of 76 union miners. The train was composed of a combi nation baggage car and two day coaches. Almost immediately the work of loading the men began. They were marched to the train between heavy lines of military and deputies. A crowd of fully 1,000 people had collected to see the men placed on boardy Among the spectators werte wives and sisters, fathers and moth ers of the deported men, and the scenes were very affecting. Mothers, sisters and sweethearts cried good bye and tried to push through the lines for a parting hand shake. The train stopped long enough at this place to give the soldiers time to eat. The men had rations of beans and bread on board. Another party of exiled men will be sent out of the district to-morrow. Sixty men confined in the Cripple Creek bull pen were taken to the county jail to-day and charges of murder were placed against them. Cripple Creek. Colo., Jun elO. Clarence C. Hamlin, secretary of the Cripple Creek Miners' Association, issued a statement today in a reply to a telegram from a New York newspaper, asking him to present his side of the labor troubles here. Mr. Hamlin says the strike was not for an eight hour day, which already prevails, the miners getting $3 to $4 a day, but "to compel every miner in this district to ,-join the Western Federation of MineVs or leave the country. This organization has a record of lawlessness, murder, arson and dynamiting in Butte and other places, extending over a period of ten or fifteen years, which should appeal to humanity. Those outrages cul minated here Monday, when fifteen men were blown into eternity and nearly as many more maimed, so that death would be a mercy. The only parallel to the organization can be found in the Mollie Magulres of Pennsylvania, and their members were law-abiding citizens, compared with the organization which we have to deal with. The peace and quiet of the state demand that this organiza tion be exterminated, root and branch. The responsibility for the above outrage is so well fixed that no person can belong to the federation and pretend to be a law abiding citi zen." Denver, Colo., June 10. The exec utive board of the Western Federa tion of Miners decided today to ap peal to President Roosevelt to inves tigate the condition in Colorado. Secretary W. D. Haywood was in structed to send the following tele gram to the President: "A duty devolves upon you as President of the United States to. in vestigate the terrible crimes that are being perpetrated in Colorado in the name of law and order. We will ren der every possible assistance to the proper authorities in such investiga tion to the end that the people of the country may realize the outrages that are being inflicted on innocent per sons by those in temporary official power." Cripple Creek, Colo., June 10. Joseph Hamilton, chairman of the Democratic county central committee, was called before the citizens alliance committee today and asked concerning his sym pathy with unionism. Mr. Hamilton acknowledged that he believed in unions and he was told that he must leave the camp within the next four days.

THE CAESAR YOUNG CASE. Efforts to Find Important Witnesses Are Not Successful No Indict ment Yet by tlie Grand Jury. New York,. June 10. Interest in the mystery surrounding the death of Caesar Young, the bookmaker. last Saturday centered today In the efforts of the police to find J.

She took the weapon in her hand and snapped the trigger two or three times, while pointing it at the floor. It was said today that in addition to Air. and Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, anoth er witness whom the police consider of great importance in making a thorough investigation of the case has mysteri ously disappeared. The man is Harry Frank, a bartender m the saloon where Young and Mrs. Patterson are said to have spent a great part of the night before Young was shot. (Frank was summoned to appear before the grand jury, to repeat any conversation be tween Young and Mrs. Patterson which he may 'have overheard while they were in the saloon, but he did hot appear and the officers were unable to ifind him. The examination of all available witnesses was completed by the grand jury during the day. The grand jury reported this after noon, but did not return an indictment against 'Mrs. Patterson.
