GREAT FIGH

rn 1 WON BY JAPS AT KIH-CHOÜ Mikado's Men Storm the Heights and Sweep the - Russians South. THOUSANDS SLAM l!l BATTLE Victors Said to Have Lost 12,000 in Killed Alone. Positions That Were All but Im pregnable Stormed by the Gallant Men Who Hare Bearded the Russian Bear. Chicago, May 2S. A special to The Daily News from Chefoo says: "Japar announces that the entire coast of the Liao-Tung peninsula lying south of a line between Pitsewo on the east and Pulantien on the w est Is in a state of effective blockade by the Japanese nary." Washington, May 28. A telegram, dated Tokio, May 27, has been received by the Japanese1 legation here which gives the report of the commi. I ruler of the Japanese army on the LU-o-Tung peninsula of the capture of Kin-Chow. After ennunierating with GENERAL OED. great particularity the guns the Russians had in position the report says that a reconnaissance was made on May 23, which developed the Russian strength In men and guns, and then proceeds: . Brief Report of the Battle. ''On the morning of May 25 our forces attackd Kin-Chow, engaging with the enemy's artillery on Sanshan hill. At dawn of May 20 we commenced cannonading, which lasted fivehours, while three Japanese warships assisted the land forces from Kin-Chow bay. The enemy's gunboats attacked our left wing from Talienwan. We took KinChow at Ö'JZO a. m. of the same day, and after severe fijihtingoccupied NanEhan hill and pursued the enemy. Fight Lasted Sixteen Hoars. The Japanese legation has received the following details, of the attack on Kin-Chow: "The enemy builtseveral covered trenches around the fort and Nansban hill and held the place stubbornly under strong defensive works. Nevertheless, after several attempts, the Japanese finally succeeded in taking the enemy's position by storm, and In driving them toward Nan-Kue-Ling, This severe fight continued for sixteen hours. Terrible Loan of Life, London, May 2S. A dispatch to the Central News from Harbin says the Japanese losses during the fighting at Kin-Chow are said to be 12,000 men killed. It is sail that these figures have been confirmed by an official dispatch. Fighting, it is added, is still oing on in the vicinity of Kin-Chow. POSITION ALMOST IMPREGNABLE Some Details of the Fortifications Stormed by the Japs. London, May 28. A Tokio dispatch, datea May 27, says: The Japanese army Swept the Russians from KinChow yesterday morning, and in a desperate night attack stormed the almost Impiegnable position of the Russians on Nanshan hill, west of Talienwan. The battle raged in the hills all through the night. The Russians had made elaborate preparations to check the Japanese movement south on the LlaoTung peninsula toward Port Arthur. They had fortified the high ground en the south shore of Talienwan bay, their works extending to the east and the west. The extreme Russian right was at Ilushangtao and the extreme left at Nanshan hill. This hill was the strongest part of the line; a series of batteries, strongly emplaced, crowded Its crest, while rifle pits extended around Its sides. Mines had been placed lower down on this hill, and around the base on the northern and eastern sides were stretched well-made wire entanglements. Another line of defenses, also pro tected with wire entanglements, ex tended from Yen-Chia-Tnitig near the head of Talienwan bay, due north of Liu-Chla-Tlen, which lies south of Kin Chow. The Russians apparently at tempted to draw the, Japanese attack last Saturday for their batteries opened fire slowly on the enemy on that day. The Japanese, however, refused to be drawn until the positions of the Kus sians, their guns and their strength had been fully developed. CAUTIOUSi.r FELT TUEIB WAYJapanese Find a Weak Point la the Itaaglxa Line of Dennis,

To this end the Japanese began a

series of careful reconnaissances, their officers working theirway close enough to the Russian position to draw the enemy's fire. They thus secured fragments of shells for the purpose of ascertaining the calilKr of the Russian guns. During these reconnaissances the Japanese discovered that west of Liu-Tien the Russians hud no defenses. This gap in the defense was a fatal defect in the Russian position, and when it was perceived the Jjipanese extended the right to the north and east, enveloping Kin-Chow and tho Russian extreme right. The Japanese left also was extended to Wang-Chia-Tung; on the shore of Talienwan toy, and the center moved forward. Wednesday morning at 5:30 the Japanese attacked Kin-Chow, and

for three hours they had an artillery duel with the batteries on Nansban hill. The battle was resumed at dawri" on Thursday. Three Japanese gunboats then entered Kin-Chow bay, and in co-operation with the artillery on Bhore shelled the Russian positions on Nanshan hill. A Russian gunboat in Talienwan bay steamed close to the shore and shelled the Japanese left. At an early hour the Japanese infantry moved forward, and at 5:20 on Thursday morning they entered Kin-Chow, the Russians retiring to the south. The Russian resistance at Nanshan hill was stubborn. The Japanese made n series of assaults before the Russians finally yielded the position. The Russians abandoned this hill it 3 o'clock in the afternoon, retreating toward Nanquau-Ling. where it is understood a second line of defeases exists. ' PROUD Or TUE ACHIEVEMENT Statement of a Japanese Officer Admiral Togo's Report. A Japanese officer of high rank made the following statement to the correspondent of the Associated Tress: The Japanese in attacking Kin-Chow and Nanshan hill had to fight apiinst great odds. The Russians were in full command of the strategical advantages afforded by nature.and these advantages were augmented by the newest Inventions for defense. The forts on Nanshan hill were armed with heavy guns. The Japanese had only field guns, heavy guns leing unavailable on account of the difficulties of transportation. ' "Our army deserves great credit for having driven the Russians from this stronghold: it was a feat previously considered. to have been impossible. I fear our losses have been heavy, but we have", gained the strongest point barring our way to the investment of Port Arthur. The following report has been received from Vice Admiral Togo: "The gunboats Thukishi, Heiyen, Amagi and ChokaL and the first torpedo boat flotilla, under Captain Nishiyama, reached Kin-Chow bay on the evening of Wednesday. From dawn of Thursday the vessels co-operated with the army in bombarding Suchaton. "The Amagi and the Chokai went In close and bombarded all day. At 11 o'clock in the morning the enemy retrected from Suchaton. but they con tinued to fire from a position behind Suchaton. Our casualties were ten. including Captain Hayashl, of the Chokai. who was killed." The Japanese troops are now with in twelve miles of Port Arthur, and it is reported now that the Russians suf fered heavier casualties than the Jap anese, who have taken many guns and other material and a few prisoners.

P, Salen, of Cleveland. Only Made Matters Worse.

POINTS OF THE I'LATFROU Also an Analysis of the Component Tarts of the Gathering. The platform adopted refers "pure ly national questions" to the national convention, and devotes itself entire ly, to state matters, charging that the "political trust" in charge of state af fairs has grown "arrogant,-reckless and corrupt," and promising that a Demo cratic administration will "restore government by the people." The Ohio delegation to St. Louis is instructed to cast its vote as a unit for the man preferred by the majority. No one Is indorsed for president or vice president A 2-cent railway fare resolu tion was made a part of the platform. There were three presidential elements Involved. The Hearst men originally wanted instructions, but finally limited their opiosition to the unit rule. The friends of Colonel James Kilbourne, of Columbus, who was the Democratic candidate for governor three years ago, wanted "indorsement" The friends of Judge Judson Harmon, of Cincinnati, who was attorney general under Cleveland, wanted neither indorsement nor instructions, but the unit rule. The Harmon men won out Harmon men limited their efforts to avoiding either instructions or indorse ment, and mailing sure of the unit rule, under which Hearst will get no votes from Ohio, although he has carried at least three districts. The four delegates in Mayor Johnson's two home districts are also "tied up," and his former lieutenant, ' Charles P. Salen, is a delegate-at-large, while Mayor Johnson himself and John II. Clark, the candidate against Hanna last year, are district delegates. One of the leaders in "the combine" that brought about these results was Harlan Cleveland, of Cincinnati, a cousin of G rover Cleveland. The delegates andalternates-at-large are claimed by the conservatives, who also claim thirty of the Ohio district delegates. Their poll of "the Ohio dcle.gation to St Louis is thirty-six conser vatives (friendly to Harmon), Hearst six and Folk four. Alabama for Parker. Montgomery, Ala., May 2G. The Democratic state convention was held in Montgomery and dispatched its work in a few hours. While no in fractions were 'given the resolutions adopted recited that at the present time Judge Alton B. Parker Is the most available and acceptable candi date for the nomination for the presidency and that the sentiment of the conventKn is for his nomination. The unit rule was put. in force. The salient feature of the platform is opposition to "imperialism" and the "methods of the- present chief executive in arrogating functions." to himself legislative COLD WATER MEN IN COUNCIL Illinois Prohibitionists Nominate Candldates aod Adopt a Platforu.

BLOODY WORK IS REPORTED

Japs Said to Have Stormed and Taken Kin-Chou. ATTACK ON DALHY FOLLOWS Report of a Bad Russian Defeat Near Feng-Wang-Cheng. Czar's Army Said to Have Lost 5,000 Men No Confirmation of the Reports, but Kumar Is Persistent. . Chefoo, May 27, 12:30 p. m. It Is learned from a reliable source that the Japanese took Kin-Chou yesterday, and are" now pursuing the enemy. London, May 27. The Tokio correspondent of The Daily Express says It is reported unofficially that the Japanese havecaptured Kin-Chou and are now attacking Dalny. The Tokio correspondent of The Daily Mail under date of May 2G. says: "According to a reliable report the Japanese occupied Kin-Chou today." London, May 27 The Shan-Khal-Kwr.n eorrespondent of The Daily Chronicle sends a report received from New Chwans? that on May 23, thinking that the Japanese . had retired from Fens-Wans-Cbens. l.'.OOO Russians from Hai-Cheng and Liao-Yang marched towards Feng-Wang-Cheng. They were surprised by CO.OOO Japanese in Tatung pass. The Russian casualties were 4,000. and over 1,000 Russians surrendered. The report doe3 not state the Japanese losses. Japs Said to Hare Taken Kin-Chou. . London, May 27. If there is not hot fighting going on near Tort Arthur rumor is very persistent over nothing. Reports, not confirmed, however, are full of fight. The Central News correspondent at Tokio telegraphs that a battle has been foupht at Nanqwanling in which the Japs defeated the Russians, Wednesday, and of sitll more importance, if true, it is reported that the Japs have stormed and captured Kin-Chou. The fighting is stated to have lasted all day and been of the most desperate character. At Chefoo there is a rumor current that the Japanese army is within ten miles of Port Arthur. Hard Fighting for Eight Days. On the other hand the Tokio correspondent of The Chronicle, under date of May 2G, cables: "Around KinChou the Japanese have been fighting stubbornly for the past eight days, but are making little progress against the Russians, who occupy strong positions on the heights. The Japanese have already constructed thirty miles of light railway for the transportation of siege guns towards Port Arthur." St. Petersburg: Doesn't Know. St. Petersburg. May 27. The general staff is not in a position to confirm or deny the Tokio report that the Japanese have occupied Kin-Chou. It would be a great surprise to the authorities here if the report of the capture of Kin-Chou should prove to be true. Tlie opinion of the Wst authorities Is that if the Japanese rushed Kin-Chou 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. LONDON IS NOT POSITIVE Ulg Papers Accept the Kin-Chou Report at a True Story, However. - London, May 27. No authoritative confirmation of the capture of KinChou has yet been received from any quarter. Circumstantial accounts of the storming and capture of Kin-Chou, identical with the reports received by the Central News from Tokio are sent by the Shanghai correspondent of The Standard and Dally Telegraph. The Morning Post's Tokio correspondent says that the Japanese occupied KinChou yesterday afternoon and are advancing to attack the Russians occupying the heights south of the town. The Standard's Tokio correspondent, cabling at 9:30 o'clock last night says: "It is reported that the Japanese have occupied Kin-Chou. Official confirmation of the rumor Is expected hourly. The London newspapers accept the new 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 a tTatung pass, which The Daily Chronicle reports, is also sent by The Daily Telegraph's New Chwang correspondent, but on a smaller scale. This battle is probably nothing more than an exaggerated version of the fight reported by General Kukorl to have occurred at Pa Tao TsL The Times' Feng-Wang-Cheng correspondent under date of May 25 says: "The outposts are keeping in touch, but there is practically no fighting. One bundled Cossacks appeared within twenty miles of this position on May 23. There are no signs of Russians moving in force south of LiaoYang."

O uunnivn ininumiau c TRIBUTE TO HÄfiHA. o A Senator lairbanks' tribute to the late Senator Hanna during the memo rial exercises recently held in tht Senate was the forceful eulogy of t friend whose relations with the deao statesman were cordial and intimate. He said in part: "Senator Hanna was a man of practical mind. He did not dwell in an atmosphere of purely speculative philosophy, but among the serious realities of life. He possessed in full degree the power of great initiative. He organized and set on foot vast enterprises which required large capital, and gave employment to thousands ol workingmen.- He was essentially . a creator; never a destroyer. He opened the. door of opportunity to others and thus became a benefactor. He was a man of innate modesty and never Indulged in the merely spectacular. He coveted the respect and confidence of his fellow-men, not for selfish.purposes, but that he might the better serve them. "He possessed a keenly sensitive nature. He was deeply touched by the criticism of his polilical opponents, which for a time was so sharp and unjust. That criticism which sought to undermine the confidence in him of his countrymen and to impeach his broad humanitarian sympathies and purposes left a sting. He cared nothing for the criticism of his political views. He held to them tenaciously and conscientiously with confidence in the ultimate sober judgment of the people. A Man of Sincerity. "He was a plain, blunt man. He was always perfectly natural. He did not pretend to be what the Creator did not intend him to be. He was no mere timeserver. He aid not bend to every wind that blew. He was an honest man honest in thought, in purpose, and in deed: honest with the world and ' honest with himself. He possessed in a remarkable degree the 'geniii2 of common sense.' He was resourceful and had at Instant command all of his faculties. "He was tenacious of his opinions, though not dogmatic. He was ready to yield to a better reason when it was made manifest. He sought no compromise with expediency. What was right was right, and what was wrong was wrong. He occupied no middle ground. "He was the trusted friend of the late President McKinley throughout his illustrious political career. He possessed his unbounded confidence, a confidence which he repaid with unfailing loyalty and unmeasured devotion. "His name was frequently mentioned, and with entire respect, for still further official honors than those he enjoyed here. The suggestion needed but the encouragement1 of his assent to make it a formidable realitj-, but he was content with the great distinction of a seat in this chamber and discouraged all effort to make him a candidate for the most exalted place in the government. His Career an Inspiration. "His career admirably illustrates the great possibilities that lie before the American youth. He became a power in widely separated fields of endeavor. To have achieved distinction in either was honor enough for one man. His early life as the successful man of business gave no promise of the eminence he was destined to achieve in the world of politics and statesmanship. He did hot become a student of statecraft until after he had passed life's meridian. He proved to be a quick student'of those great problems which concerned the state. "He was a man of indefatigable industry. He believed in the virtue of labor. He wrought on with no thought of self. His friends observed the serious inroads he was making upon his health and sought to dissuade him from overtaxing his strength, but he disregarded their kindly admonitions and labored on until he fell at his post of duty a virtual ssennce to his country and his countrymen. No soldier ever died upon the field of glory more surely for others than did he. His Fe!low:h:p Cherished. ' "Senator Hana and I were friends before coming here, and my entire public service to the hour of his death was in fellowship with him. One of the choicest r-3.Tcrie3 I shall take into private lite is the memory of his confidence and unvarying friendship. "I v:3ited him a number of times after he entered the sick chamber with an illness supposed to be but temporary. He was loath to give up tin iutercourse with his friends. He lavei them and he loved the world. He had not gathered his harvest. He had no time to take acco int of death. " "For rainy long and anxious days his countrymen awaited tiding3 of hi3 illness. In the-alternations of hope and feir we witched aid reverently Invoked the .All-MercrfV.l One to spare our friend to U3 and to his country. But hi3 hour had come, and tenderly we laid him away by the lakeside which he so much loved and where he sleeps well. "Brave spirit, an affectionate farewell! We take u? the burdens you left us and press on, and in good time, in God's providence, we shall leave them to others. This historic chamber has its entrances and its exits, through which the stately procession comes and goes. We shah each, in his turn, seek an exit "Good friend! We shall forever cherish as a priceles heritage the memory of your nobility of character and your services and sacrifices for the state. xir YOU UAD JX ECK SORE THROAT V."CULD QUICKLY IT. CS m4 (O.
