Young men nowadays are inclined to the opinion that the opportunities for making fortunes are not as great as they were a half or even a quarter of a century agh.

Indeed, the demand for men who are capable and reliable is now greater than ever before, and where there is such a demand there are opportunities for making fortunes. i

-The steady increase in the price of raw cotton during the last two years is due primarily to the fact that the demand has been outrfinning the supply, and the shortage of labor in the south. To increase the area of cultivation more ~ laborers and g&mall growers are needed, and the great need of the south is a larger share of the current of-immigration now flowing so freely to our shores. Since a very large proportion of this immigration is from southern Europe there seems to be no reason why a share of it cannot be diverted to our southern states.

London, May 27.—The Shangkhaikwan correspondent of the Daily Chronicle sends a report received from Newchwang that on May 23, thinking that .the Japanese had retired from Fengwangcheng, 15,000 Russians from Haicheng and Liaoyang marched towards Fengwangcheng. They were surprised by 30,000 Japanese in the Tatung pass. The Russian casualties were 4,000, and over 1,000 Russians surrendered. The report does not state the Japanese losses. : : Another Version. . A dispatch to the Telegraph from Newchwang gives another version of what apparently is the same battle. It states that the Chinese report that Japanese scouts discovered the enemy in strength at Tatunling, 35 miles northwest of Fengwangcheng, on May 21. When their exact position was ascertained the Japanése/ sent a flying column from Siuyen, which made a strong demonstration on the enemy’s front, and at daylight on May 22 engaged the Russian with artillery from the south.’ - “ Turn Russian Flank.

Meanwhile the main force, accompanied by mountain guns, advanced westward on the Fengwangcheng road, turning the Russians’ left flank and enfilading their trenches. The Russians retreated hastily to Tatunling pass, losing more than 1,000 killed, wounded and eaptured. The Japanesé losses were slight. The division which outflanked the Russians were the troops which, according to St. Petersburg reports, retired from Fengwangcheng, the retirement being a part of the Japanese tactics in Sunday’s Dbattle. The Japanese now occupy Tatunling pass.

Decisive Battle in Progress. ~ Paris, May 27.—The St. Petersburz correspondent of the Petit Parisien telegraphs that, according tp a private dispatch from Liaoyang, Gen. Kuroki’s army has begun an attack on the Russian position on the- Liaoyang road, and that it is believed what will prove to be a decisive battle is progressing. Kinchau Captured.

London, May 27.—The correspondent of the Central News at Tokio cables that the Japanese attacked Nangwanling on the narrowest part of the Kwantung peninsffla Wednesday and drove back the Russians by main force. The attack on Kinchau, the dispatch adds, was begun at dawn Thursday and by noon Kinchau was in the hands of the Japanese, who occupied the castle. The fighting continued during the afternoon and was of the most desperate character. It is believed the casualties were heavy. . After the occupation of Kinchau the Russians retired in good order to the heights further south, which were attacked by the full Japanese force and carried after a stubborn resistance.

Accounts Agree.

. London, May 27.—N0 ‘authoritative confirmation of -the capture of Kinchou has been received from any quarter. Circumstantial accounts of the storming and capture of Kinchou, identical with the reports received by the Central News from Tokio, are sent by the Shanghai correspondents of the Standard and Daily Telegraph. The

Prefers to Serve Time.

St. Louis, May 24.—George Lehrter, of St. Louis, pleaded guilty in the United States district court to coloring and selling oleomargerine without labeling it as such, and ,was fined $1,000.° He said he would serve the sentence rather than pay the fine.

Famousi Ho:se Put wi;o Dveath.

San Francisco, May 24.—Ormonde, the world famous horse, is dead. He was killed at the Menlo Park stock farm of W. 0. D. MacDonough to relieve great suffering from paralysis.

Captured in Rhode Island.

- Providence, R. 1., May 26.—Stephen Herbert was arrested in this ¢ity Wednesday night, charged with stealing jewelry valued at $20,000 from J. W. Kiser, of Chicago. The theft was committed on May 12th, and a reward of $5OO was subsequently offered for Herbert’s arrest. ‘ v Old Indian Chief Dead. : Ukiah, Cal., May 26.—Charies Penio, the oldest chief of the Ukiah tribe. is dead at Cox ranchero and the Indians are celebrating a death feast. Peaio was 107 years of age. ‘

London newspapers accept the news as true, but as it seems to have originated at Shanghai it would seem advisable to regard it with reserve pending official confirmation. : -

The battle at Tatung Pass, which the Daily Chronicle reports, is also sent by the Daily Telegraph’s Newchwang correspondent, but’ on a ‘smaller scale. This battle is probably nothing more than an exaggerated version of the fight reported by Gen. Kuroki to have occurred at Pataotsi.

St. Petersburg Without News.

St. Petersburg, Mag 27.—The general staff is not in a position to confirm or deny the Tokio report that the Japanese have occupied Kinchou. The latest official information regarding fighting in that vicinity was conveyed in Lieut.Gen. Sakharoff’s telegram, which said that the Japanese had lost 700 on May 18. This agrees with information contained in the despatches of May 25, Gen. .Sakharoff apparently accepting the report from the same Chinese source. It would be a great surprise to the authorities here if the report.of the capture of Kinchou should prove to be true. The impression ' heretofore entertained’ is. that Kinchou would prove a hard nut for the Japanese to crack, and that its reduction would need a siege train, and call for careful approaches, which would occupy the enemy for a long time. The ,opinion of the best authgrities is. that if the Japanese rushed Kinchou by a frontal attack unsupported by heavy guns, which it is not believed they possess, the capture of the place must have been effected at ‘a tremendous.loss to the attackers. -

Japs Bombard Port Arthur.

Chefoo, May 26.—A .portion of the Japanese licet bombarded Port Arthur at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning. The attack was witnessed by a Frenchman, who left Dalny on the night of the 22nd, -arriving here Wednesday night. He says that eight large warships .circled before the entrance of Port Arthur harbor for one hour, firing broadsides at intervals of ten minutes. Up to the time this Frenchman left Dalny everything was quiet there, but an attack on the part of the Japanese was expected hourly. The military and civil officials of Dalny were ready to leave. Only a few civilians remain there.

Japs Defeat Cossacks.

Tokio, May 25.—Gen. Kuroki reports that a section of Japanese infantry encountered and defeated 200 Cossacks at Toutaokou, eight miles northeast of Kuangtien. The Cossacks fled to Aiyuangpienmen, leaving 20 dead. The Japanese sustained no losses. o

Additional details of the fight at Wangchiatun, near Takushan, May 20, indicate that the squadron of Cossacks was almost annihilated by the Japanese infantry which surrounded and completely routed the enemy. All the Russian offieers were killed, wounded or captured. : i

Anju Destroyed.

Mukden, May 25.—The Russians on May 16 made a sudden attack upon the town of Anju, Korea, from the village of Haitchien and captured the town, destroying it. The Japanese garrison set fire to the houses and stores and retired in perfect order. .

Dijed at the Age of 108.

Washington, May 24.—Hester Jackson, a negro woman who claimed to be 108 years old, is dead in this city. She was ‘the widow of a negro preacher, Rev. Noah Jackson, and the date of her birth is given as March 4, 1796. :

Raleigh, N. C., May 24.—While crossing the river at Bellezine Beach, Sunday afternoon, Allen Forbes, his son, Charles, and Henry _Arnold were drowned by the heavily laden canoe sinking in deep water.

BOILERS EXPLODE.

Okio River Towboat Is Blown to Pieces—Ten Men Killed— Many Injured.

Louisville, Ky., May 27.—The tow boat Fred Wilson was torn to flinders, ten men were blown to bits and 16 others injured by a tremendous explosion of the boat’s boilers at :3:30 o’clock Thursday morning. Of the 33 persons aboard the boat only seven escaped unhurt. Of the injured, one will probably die. The force of the exPplosion was so great that it shattered windows and awakened the occupants of houses in Louisville, four miles from the scene. !

Only three bodies have thus far been recovered, those of Sherman Shibler, Patrick White and J. C. Johnson, who died in a hospital. The bodies of the other seven victims are thought to be pinned under the wreckage, and may not be recovered for several .days. Three deck-hands reported as missing, and thought to have swelled the number of dead to 13, were afterward found in local hospitals. No good explanation of the cause of the accident has been offered, and there is, little hope that the coroner’'s inquest, which will be held Monday, will throw any light,on the matter. The mo3t plausible theory is offered by some of the deck-hands, who suggest that there may have been an excess cf mud in the boilers.

ROOSEVELT ASKS PEACE.

Japan and Russia Unwilling to Ac- ~ cept President’s Offer of Mediation.

New York, May 27.—A Washington dispatch to the Sun says: “Through its ambassador at St. Petershurg and its minister at Tokio, the government has made known informally and delicately to the Rlalssian and the Japanese governments that the president stands ready to tender his good offices to bring about peace between them at the moment when both are willing that such a step shall be taken. The attitude of the government in this respect has been discussed not only in the capitals of the belligerants, but here in Washington between Secretary Hay and the Japanese and Russian diplomatic representatives. “It has been made clear to the United States, however, that neither Russia nor Japan is willing to tolerate for an instant at this time the idea of foreign mediation. Beth Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, and Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister, had interviews with Secretary Hay to-day. Afterward Count Cassini took luncheon with President Roosevelt: at the white house.” [

Even Commercial Travelers “Were Not Beyond the Reach of A Saving Grace.

Dan Daly, the actor, who died recently, whenever ie_ was idle m New York had a great habit of attending Salvation >Army meetings. He believed' in the Salvation Army, and he contributed liberally to its support.
