Natural Gas Struck
Near Great Falls
I-argo and Steady Volume Flowing
From Well at Depth
of 300 Feet.
Special to Tho Trlbuno.
GREAT FALLS, Mont., SepL 4. The
first natural gas well ln the history of
Montana hna been struck thirty-two mllC3
from this city and 13 now flowing a largo
and steady volume of gas. The discovery
has occasioned considerable excitement
nnd a rush to tho new fields Is predicted
as soon as tho exact whereabouts of tho
well can bo ascertained. The find was
mado by P. E, Gallagher and Dwlght
Chafec, who brought tho nows of tho dis
covery to Great Falls early this morning.
They will return to tho well with a party
of friends at once to file upon tho sur
rounding country, which Is of tho public
domain.
Gns Near Surface.
At a depth of eighty feet the drill en
tered Tin oil shale and has continued ln
that formation for about 270 feet. At a
depth of about 300 feet the flow of gas was
encountered. Tho next day Gallagher and
Chafeo cooked their supper by gas, plac
ing two iron bara across a four-inch piece
of casing, on which a kettle was placed.
The heat omitted by tho burning gas was
Intense and a "pralrlo mulligan' was
quickly prepared. Tho two men stato
that after thoy had loft camp tho light of
the flaming gas was vlslblo for a distance
-of from four to five miles.
Pressure is Increasing.
Tho pressure of the gas has been trebled
In the fifty feet drilled slnco the gas was
struck, and while the hole Is but four
Inches In diameter for tho entire depth,
the pressure Is such that the gas may be
Ignited at a height of four foot above the
mouth of tho well. The pressure Is stead
ily Increasing and apparently very great
pressure will bo attained with greater
depth.
DONNELLY IS DEFIANT.
Declares Desertion Strikers in New
York Will Not Affect Chicago.
CIIICAGO, Sept. 4. The return to work
of the 3G00 strikers In New York city will
novo no material effect upon tho general
situation ln the stock yards strike, ac
cording to President Donnelly of tho
Butchers' union. In an address this after
noon before an audjenco composed of SOOO
strikers and their friends, Mr. Donnelly
declared that, despite the desertion of the
New York members of the union, he would
mako no change ln his plans to tie-up tho
meat Industry of tho country this week.
"The action of the Now York strikers,
who are said to have voted to desert us,
said Mr. Donnelly, "was not entirely un
expected, Their grievances were not as
great as ours, as they quit, work merely
ln sympathy with the strike of tho West
orn members of tho Butchers' union. Be
fore next Saturday night J expect there
will bo fully 50.000 moro workmen In
volved In the struggle, and tho product
of the Now York plants will not break tho
tie-up planned for this week.
"It has been predicted by many that tho
strike would bo called off before today,
but we are still In tho struggle and will
remain. It would not be fair to you If
I called the strike off. You empowered
mo to start It, and you will have to In
struct me by a general vott to end IL Let
no one be dlscournged If the light seems
to drag along "Wo will bo all the strong
er and will secure a better settlement If
we stay out for seven or eight weeks
longer."
C R. Schmidt, vice-president of the
Meat Cutters' union In California, also
addressed the strikers. He. like Don
nelly, declared victory would follow If tho
strikers would remain out about two
months loncor.
Tho Sunday quiet at the stock yards
was marred by but one Insignificant dis
turbance. Four switches on the Chicago Junction
tracks ln tho vicinity of tho stock yards
were torn out tonight, signals, track and
all by pomo unknown persons In an effort
to wreck trains carrying meat from tho
packing "plants. The absence of tho
switch lights wds discovered In time, how
ovor, to prevent an accident and a guard
of policemen baa been placed along tho
tracks to nrovent any further attempt at
train wreclclng.
Earlier ln tho day a meat train was held
lip ln the some spot and one car was de
railed and Its contents confiscated by a
mob of several hundrred men who flocked
to tho place as soon as the accident occurred.

"It is superb," mused the friend, "but
where is the bath tub?"
"Oh, I don't take up space with that,"
was the owner's answer. "I just press
a button, and" In comes the tub."
He Pressed the Button.
Suiting the action to the word, he
pressed a button. Tho marble slabs at
the other end of the room parted, and
in rolled a mother-of-pearl tub with
the dainty, modesL petite, shy wife of
the owner in it, in the- act of bathing.

OYAMA ADITS
BIG SLAUGHTER
Casualties oi Brown
Men Very Heavy.
Severity of Russian Defeat
Hinges Largely an Ku

Meaoger Reports Indicate That Sol
diers of Both Armies Went to
Limit Human Endurance. x
TOKIO, Sept. 4. Field Marshal Oya
ma, telegraphing today, says: "Alter
the fighting of lost night and this morn
ing Llao Tang fell Into our hands. Our
casualties are believed to be very heavy.
No report has been received concerning
conditions on the right bank of tho Tal
tse river."
Depends Upon Kuroki.
Beyond this dispatch from Field. Mar
shal Oyama nothing further concerning
the battle of Llao Tang has reached To
klo today. Neither the number of Rus
sians who succeeded In escaping north
ward nor the number encompassed by
Gen. Kuroki's turning movement Is
known here. The severity of the Rus
sian defeat hinges largely on Kuroki's
movement. If successful, the nunfber of
Russian prisoners will be large.
Limit of Endurance.
that the soldiers of both armies went to
the limit of human endurance and suf
fered terribly. It was impossible con
stantly to supply them with food and
water and the men have fought for
days past starving and parched with
thirst.
Although full details are lacking, the
duration of the fighting, the numbers
engaged and the. losses so far reported,
indicate that Lino Tang will prove to be
one of tho greatest battles of history.
The dispatch received from Field Mar
shal Oyama announcing the fall of Llao
Tang had the effect of cheering up. nil
of the subjects of the MIkndo.
Doiibt Concerning Prisoners)
Throughout the rejoicings here fol
lowing the earlier successes of Japanese
arms at Llao Tang, the more thoughtful
people feared the results of the exposure
to which the right wing of Gen. Kuroki's
army was subjected, and It was held
possible that the strength of tho Llao
Tang fortifications would permit the
withdrawal of the bulk of the Russian
forces there. Even now there Is doubt
concerning the number of Russians who
have escaped, but there Is no doubt
about the character of the victory at
Llao Tang.
Tokio Is Illuminated.
Toklo Is brilliantly Illuminated tonight
and joyful crowds are parading the
streets cheering the exploits of Field
Marshal Oyama and Gens. Kurokl, Oku
and Nodzu.

then he will continue on to London.
Mr. Rothschild's pet hobby Is col
lecting fleas, and at the Trlng Park mu
seum are to be seen cabinets containing
more than 10,000 specimens.
This collection of fleas Is probably the
most complete of Its kind; but there waa
one flea missing, which Mr. Rothschild
most coveted, and that was the flea of
the Arctic fox.
Only two perfect specimens were
known to exist in collections, and with a
view to finding a third Mr. Rothschild
two years ago commissioned the cap
tain of the Forget-Me-Not, an Arctic
trawler, to hunt for the specimens.
But the captain returned flealess, and
In August last Mr. Rothschild offered a
reward of 1000 for an Arctic fox flea.

Consider Situation Grave. 'JH
,Thero Is no attempt, however, to con-
ccal the gravity of the situation, is view vB
of tho absence of nows regarding what J
is happening today. It Is not clear from M
tho latest telegrams whethor tho Rus- 'J
si an 3 nro continuing their retreat or If ''ll
they havo boon compelled to face tholr -'1
foe. Tho gloomy report telegraphed by IIH
tho Russian commander-in-chief ln tho .Hl
early stages of the light of Saturday last r'lH
and his bitter reproaches against Gen.
Stakclbcrg aro attributed to his chagrin ftll
over tho falluro of his ofTonslvc plans. tSII
May Lose His Command. HlH
No dotatls are given of tho escape of inl
Gou Stakclberg'B corps from the clutches? i3H
of the enemy, but It Is believed that It rnH
owes Its safety to tho neglect or tho ina- ESjl
blllty of tho Japanese to follow up their dM
advantage. Gen. Stakclbcrg was allowed ttlH
to cross tho river and como up with tho IftH
main army ln thuo to enable tho shattered H&fll
remnants of MaJ.-Gen. OrlofTs detach- jrfiH
mont to retreat. This exploit Is likely Btll
to condono Gen. Stakelberg's dlsobcd-
lenco, but unless the Emperor forgives ffiM
him he will have to appear ooforo a court- llgl
martial and probably will loso hla com- iul
mand. mI
Tho War Office In able to make tho re- H
assuring statement that the Russian re- nH
treat from Llao Yang did not Involve tho ifiH
losses of guns, and It Is also declared that KH
