and cast, enveloping Kin Chou and the
Russian extreme right. The Japanese left
also was extended to Wang Chla Tung, on
the shore of Tnllenwan bay, and the cen
ter moved forward.
Duel With Artillery.
Wednesday morning nt half-past 5 the
Japanese attacked Kin Chou, and for
three hours they hnd an artillery duel
with the batteries on Nan Shan hill. Tho
Russian gunners searched tho Jopancao
lines wjth their Are, but failed to inflict
r much damage.
The battle was resumed nt dawn of
Thursday. Three Japancso gunboats then
entered Kin Chou bay and ln co-operation
with tho artillery on shore shelled tho
Russian positions on Nan Shan hill.
A Russian gunboat in Tallen Wan bay
steamod close to the shore and shelled the
Japancso loft.
From dawn tho batteries on both sides
hammered away at each other.
At an early hour the Japancso infantry
moved forward, and at twenty minutes
past 6 on Thurtday morning they entered
Kin Chou, tho Russians retiring to tho
south.
Tho lighting continued Into the night,
tho Japaneso pressing to tho south and
storming 2s'an Shan hill. They followed
tho retreating Russians through tho
southern hills.
Tho reports received hero failed to cover
tho events on the Russian right. It is
probable, however, that the Russians havo
abandoned these positions.
No information Is given concerning
losses; they probably were heavy on both
sides.
Uado Stubborn Resistance.
The Russian resistance at Nan Shan hill
was stubborn. The Japanese mado a se
ries of assaults before tho Russians final
ly yielded tho position. The Russians
abandoned this hill at 3 o'clock In the af
ternoon, retreating toward Nan Quan
Ling, where it Is understood a second line
of defenses exists.
Tho Russians may rally at this lino of
defenses unless they have been disordered
by tho defeat nt Kin Chou and Nan Shan.
Tho Russians had a series of mines plant
ed at Ta Fang Shen station, on tho rail
road, which woro exploded. The. station
was destroyed.
Tho Japancso forccB were under fire for
sixteen hours. The general staff here has
received telegrams from tho commanders
commending tho bravery and fortitude of
their men.

Storming of Nan Shan Hill Was
a Bloody Affair on 1 Both.1 .'
Sides.
TOKIO, May. 27. Tho Japanese
troops fought bravely for. sixteen
hours yesterday .under an ex
tremely heavy, tire before clearing
the Russians from the; southern heights
After a brave resistance. The Mus
covites made several attempts to retako
the hills, but after much loss of life re
tired finally from the narrowest part of
the peninsula which had been held so
long.
Subsequent reports received here In
dicate that the storming of Nan S,han
hill yesterday was a bloody affair. The
Japanese first centered their fire on the
Russian batteries, in which work they
were aided by four gunboats from' Kin
Chou bay. They succeeded in silencing
many of the enemy's guns.
The Russians had constructed a. sc
ries of trenches around the hill, on a
terrace protected by wire entangle
ments and other such devices. The Ja
panese made a series of rushes, but
they were in vain. The'deadly rifle and
cannon lire of the enemy checked them
repeatedly.
Finally nt 3 o'clock In the afternoon
the Japanese re-formed and stormed
the crest of the hill. The Russians held
to their position doggedly and it was 7
o'clock ln the evening before the Ja
panese finally gained possession of the
ridge.
'iltS TAIE
Is-Held as Military
Prisoner,
Western Federation Appoints
Committee to Take Action
for His Release.
Report Regarding Affiliation With.
American Federation of Labor
Not Yet Concluded.' 1
DENVER, Colo., May HI. The com
mittee on afllliation of the West
ern Federation of Miners with the
American Federation of Labor did
not report at today's session as was
expected.
For the first time since the opening of
the convention the case of Charles H.
Mover, the president of the federation,
who is held a prisoner by the military
authorities at Tellurlde, was taken Into
serious consideration. A committee
composed of M. Glllis nnd F. Jj. Rc
ber of Butte, and M. D. Moore of Arl
zona, was appointed to take such ac
tion as might be deemed expedient in
releasing President Moyer.
Resolutions were adopted indorsing
the stand taken by the 3000 members
of the Chicago Boot and Shoe Workers'
union, who were locked out May 1 for
refusing to accept the "open shop" rule
a3 well as a reduction of wages. In
these resolutions the members of the
Western Federation of Miners are
called upon to refrain from purchasing
Chicago-made shoes, it haying come to
the knowledge of the convention that
such shoes are sold extensively in" sec
tions of the country where the Western
Federation of Miners are 3trongly or
ganized. The proposition of adding a 'member
of tho coal miners union to the execu
tive board was freely discussed, but no
action was taken.
Honorary membership was granted to
Freeman Knowles of Deadwood, S. D..
upon request of the miners and millers'
union there.
Tho abolition of the union transfer
cards was another topic discussed to
day. At the conclusion of the session the
convention voted to renounce the but
tonhole carnation, which, ln the lan
guage of Secretary Haywood, hnd
"grown to be the crushers' emblem."
Memorial day will be observed In tho
convention and the graves of the late
Rev. Myron Reed and the late Gov.
Davis H. Walte will be decorated.
Secretary Haywood says that impor
tant changes to the constitution and
by-laws will be proposed by the com
mittee on that subject.

Next , day there was a general com
plaint that the City Physician had been
indifferent to the call of the police de
partment, and when several of the
members of the Council were informed
of the affair steps were taken to In
quire Into the neglect.
E. H. Hanslcker was the Injured man.
He had been carved in a fight by a ne
gro named G. W, Thomas, a short time
before midnight on Saturday, May 7.
An account of the affray was published
in the Sunday morning edition of Tho
Salt Lake Tribune.
Hanslcker reeovercd from his inju
ries and for a time the matter seemed
to be a closed Incident. Then other
cases of the failure of the Health Com
missioner led to renewed Inquiry into
his methods. The police said that the
reason assigned by the Health Com
missioner for not responding to the
call to care for Hansicker was that it
was too early In the morning to drag- a
man out of bed.

long trip to the extreme southwest of ,H
the city, and although the Doctor is not ;H
a timid man, he took a large club with 1 ' ilH
him. j jm
Dismounting from the Poplar Grove i I I IH

cian walked a block to the home of the .1 '
patient. The patient was a young wo- ! IH
man named Poole who was believed to 5
be suffering from appendicitis. f ' (
Harlcy P. Myers, a molorman on the jj 1

the proud owner of a line white bull , 1 lf

and bo was not regarded as a good i '' lf
thing to be around during the day be-
cause some of the neighbors were r.nt- H
urally afraid of that species of dog. 'ilH
So far as tho owner knew there had ' ,H
been no complaint against the dog. j J, ijH
Indeed, somo of the children were very . .
fond of him and he of them. One of ')'
the neighbor's babies would wool him '
and lie on him and there was no ,
thought of danger. But still the dog 1 1

was an ugly looking fellow and the
owner kept him under restraint during jH
the day. After nightfall he would turn ' IB
tho dog loose. I H
Jack, the dog, assumed guardianship ,, ; H
over the home of his master and over 1 jl
the Poole home, too. He divided his ' ' H
nlght3 botween the two yards. - On !
Sunday night, May 8. he was looking (
after the peace of the Poole home. . IH
It was about 11 o'clock. Everything IH
was as still as the grave and Jack . IH
curled up ln the front yard and proceed- . IH
ed to take a nap. He was a prudent 1 H
dojr, and slept with one eye open for ' , H
prowling cats and other dogs. Dur- ! I' H
ing several of the quieter moments he i H
hcartl strange footfalls. ; 1 H
Prcscntb' the figure of a two-hundred H

Tlic stranger did not pass on, as the 1 H
dog believed any honest man should. H
but laid his hand on the gato and slow- " H

Then Jack showed himself. He (i H
