Fl> Inj* Cuis.
Tokio. June 16.—The Russians’
I hope of relieving the pressure on
[Port Arthur by threatening the
j rear of Geu. Oku, the commander
!of the Japanese forces investing
the Russian stronghold, came to an
end yesterday at Tellissu. a point
011 the railroad fifty miles north of
Txin-chou and twenty-five miles
I north of Vafaugow, when the Rus
sians were out-maneuvered, envel
-1 oped and sweepinglv defeated.
They lett over 500 dead on the field,
and the Japanese captured 300 pris
oners and fourteen quick-firing
field guns The Russians retreated
hastily to the northward.
TEe Japanese charge that the
Russians violated the Japanese flag.
Certain officers aver that during
the fighting a body of Russian sol
diers appeared carrying a Japanese
flag, and that the Japanese artillery,
deceived by this fl ig, erased firing
upon that particular bod . of Rus
sians. Official dispatches from the
Japanese commanders made spe
cific charges of the flag violation.
Early estimates oh the Japanese
losses at Tellissu say that 1,000
men were killed or wounded.
The Japanese attacking force
was divided into right and left col
umns. and began the attack oil
Tuesday along both sides of the
rail oaclT Th:y ei countered the
Russians east of Vafaugien and
drove them back. At a late hour
in the afternoon the Russians held
a line between Lang-wang liaoand
Ta-faug-cheng. The Japanese ar
tillery opened on this line, and the
Russians responded. The shelling
continued for two hours, and it was
followed by the advanc- of the
Japanese line to a position extend
ing from Lung-chia-tung to Yu
hotun Darkness put an end to
thi fighting. The Japanese dis
patched a Column to the westward
toward Fuchati for the purpose of
covering the Russian right wing
and to protect their left and rear.
During the night it became ap
parent that the Russians were being
reinforced, and it was decided to
make a general attack in the morn
ing and force the Russians into a
defile back of Tellissu.
When morning came it was dis
covreed that the Russians held a
line extending from Ta-fang-shen
to Cheng tshushar, with a force
estimated at over two divisions.
While the main Japanese force
was moving north along the rail
road, columns were swung to the
left and to the right, and finally
converged at noon on the main
Russian position. The Russians
in this position were at a disadvan
tage, but they, helo it with deter
mination until 3 o’clock in the af
ternoon. At that hour they were
routed. The Japanese cavalry
continued to pursue the enemy,
and p obably inflicted considerable
punishment.
The Japanese commander‘makes
no estimate of the Russian losses,
but says the) were probably very
great.
Among the Russian officers cap
-1 tured by the Japanese is the colonel
[of the fourth regiment of rifles.

i Gets Next Reunion for Louisville
Monument Dedicated.
Nashville, Tenn., June 15. —A
sweet-voiced young woman of Nor
fo.k, Ya., Mbs Mary K. Ewell,
maid of honor for the south, by
! her singing of ‘ My Old Kentucky
Home” today won for Louisville
the reunion next year of the Unit
ed Confederate Veterans. It was
after the old veterans had chosen
Lieut Gen. Stephen D. Lee as th ir
commander-in-chief, and had lis
tened to a stirring speech by Col.
Bennett H. Young, of Kentucky,
j extolling the beauties, capability
and hospitality of his home city
and people, and their desire to en
tertain the followers of the stars
and bars, that Miss Ewell was es
| cortea to the front of the stage.
Her voice thrilled the great crowd
that filled the tabernacle, and the
j last note of the famous song had
| barely left her lips when the con
, vention went wild with shouts of
i “Louisville! Louisville!” Second
ing speeches were unnecessary,
: although General Lee graciously
permitted one front a Virginia
delegate and another froirt Ken
tucky before recording the choice
of the ve erans as unanimous.
The date will be determine 1 later.
The veterans, in at:dition to elect'
ing officers, disposed of a ,’ast
amount of routine business, but
did not complete their work, and a
final session will be held tomorrow
afternoon. #
FORTY NEW CAMPS.
The report of Adjutant-General
Mickle, which was adopted, shows
that since the last reunion charters
have been issued to forty new
camps, making the total 1.563.
j When General Mickle took charge
the first of last year the organiza
tion had debts of $2 375. General
j Mickle’s predecessor nad borrowed
money to pay no ;t o : the debts on
his own personal security. This
I indebtedness has been cut down to
i $750 during the year. The expenses
1 tor the year were $5,662. The
! Woman’s Monument association
was instructed by the veterans to
| turn over all funds, to the Sons of
Veterans, who will complete the
work of erecting a monument to
the women of the south. The most
interesting part ot the committee
on resolutions’ report is as follows:
“F’irst —That the resolution to
take appropriate action looking to
| the care and preservation of the
i graves of the confederate dead now
,in the various cemeteries in the
! northern states be adopted.
No PERMANENT MEETING PEACE
“Second—The committee reports
to the association that more than
one application has been made to
this association to fix a permanent
place for our annual reunions, but
vour committee is of the opinion
that for the present it vvou.d be
wise j for many reasons, to hold
our annual reunions as heretofore,
at such times and places as the as
sociation shall fix from year to yeai.
(Adopted.)
“Resolved. That all confederate
veterans regularly enrolled in this
association, and none other, shall
be eligible to election or appoint
ment in this association.” (Adopt
ed.)
TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD.
At noon the regular business of
the convention was set aside for
the memorial services, at which
i Judge Thomas G. Jones, of Mont
gomery, was the orator. All the
[ departed heroes of the confederacy
were referred to by several speak
ers. but Gen. John B. Gordon, the
last great figure to pass over into
, the invisible beyond, was made the
occasion of special tribute.
The most brilliant function of
the leunion occurred tonight at
the Golf and Country club. It
was a teception and ball compli
mentary to the sponsors and maids
ot honor by the Sons of Veterans.
The grand march was set for 11
o'clock.

p,,tin £ th ® fact that
'V* man’s heart is often

stomach. Happy .lie housewife who can
please her husband’s appetite with welt

grouchy, ugly, nervous, suffering from dis

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which helps the digestion of food iu tiie
stomach, assists the blood in taking up the
proper elements from the food, helps the
liver into activity, thereby throwing out
the poisons in the blood and vitalizing the
whole system. This assimilation helps in
the oxidation of the red blood corpuscles,
the poisons in the system are eliminated,
the heart gets the right kind of blood amt
t'::e person feels invigorated and stronger

It overcomes the gastric irritability and

good effects from using Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery upon nutrition and the

'I believe that it is generally conceded that
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
best medicine for a man to take suffering from
indigestion, kidney trouble, or any of the afflic
tions resulting from overwork or neglecting a
cold,” writes J. Russell Hill, of 332 Barrie Street,
Kingston. Ontario. Recording Secretary Impe
rial Knights’ Federation League of Kingston.
" 1 have used it several times during the past
few years and have always found that it gave
me immediate relief. It expels excessive uric
acid in the system, due to improper digestion,
relieves the kidneys from congestion, drives
headache and backache away, induces appetite
and tones up the general system. I consider it
a fine remedy for young or old men, sure to
build up a ruri-dowri condition of the system.”
