Some Minor Detachments Do a Small
Stunt at Fighting—Chief Object
Now Seems to be in Sparring for
Position
ST. PETERSBURG: Hostilities in
Manchuria apparently have not yet
reached the stage of a general engage-
ment. Dispatches from commanders
indicate that there is steady skirm-
ishing along the main front, where
minor detachments are fighting back
and forth over practically the same
ground, with no decided advantage to
either.
These tactics seem designed chiefly
to maintain contact and to worry the
vanguards while sparring for position
before the development of the main
battle.
The usual Chinese reports
been received that a turning
ment has begun, but the war
discredits them, and declares that no
considerable Japanese force has yet
appeared on General Llnevltch's
flanks.
The Russian cavalry has lately been
acquitting itself with better effect
than ever before since tho beginning
of the present war and the members
of the general staff are confident of
its ability to prevent a repetition of
General Nogl's march on Mukden and
to uncover In season any attempt of
the Japanese to circle the Russian
wings.

Russian Censors Are Suppressing All
Messages From Lodz
ST. PETERSBURG: Beyond the
baro announcement that firing was
again heard Saturday night In the
Jewish quarter at Lodz, and that the
Jews are leaving the city In great
numbers, there is almost nothing
known about the sanation at Lodz
and the developments of Saturday and
Sunday.
Even an adequate estimate of the
magnitude of Friday's fierce struggle
In the streets and the extent of the
casualties can not be obtained here,
as practically all telegrams except
brief and unsatisfactory messages to
the news agencies are held up by the
censorship.
The newspapers are without Informa-
tion, and General Trepoft's adjutant
Informed the Associated Press Wiat
the chancellorle of police had nothing
to communicate. Ambassador Meyer
Is also without news, though Ameri-
can consuls are under orders to tele-
graph. immediate happenings of Im-
portance to their districts.
This lack of information prevented
any manifestation of feeling on the
part of the workmen of St. Petersburg,
many of whom are in sympathy with
social revolutionary doctrines, and
for the same reason there is little dis-
cussion in the clubs and cafes, most
of the people not being aware that
anything unusual is happening in
Poland.
When the details become known it
may be expected that the news will
create the deepest impression In all
industrial sections of Russia and be
the result of disorders which will be
particularly unfortunate, coming just
at this time, when the government is
bending every effort to Induce the
people to be patient and to await the
issuance of a ti lease announcing the
convocation of a national assembly,
the proclamation regarding which can
not be long delayed. The date of
the convocation was some time ago
entatlvely fixed for June 28, but the
inal revision of the project is taking
longer than had been expected, and
the ukase probably will have to be
postponed.
In Poland Itself the events at Lodz
may initiate an era of open resistance
to the troops, lasting for months. Be-
sides Lodz. Warsaw, Kallsh and other
manufacturing ccnters have been on
the verge of anarchy for seve.Vi
months nnd disturbances similar to
those at Lodz on a greater or smaller
scale uro to be feared wherever and
whenever military conditions give the
slightest encouragement.
LAWTON: Geronimo, the Apache
warrior, recently circulated a petition
among the members of his tribe ask-
ing the government for their transfer
to Arizona. The petiflou was present-
ed to the war department, and is re-
ceiving consideration Owing to the
fact that the department tias under
consideration a plan to Increase Fort
Sill to regimental proportions, and
also that the Apaches' term or Im-
prisonment of twenty years expires
within a few months, It Is probable
that the Indians may be removed.
SORE ON HITCHCOCK
Indicted Chickasaw Official* Call In
vestigation Drag-Net Affair
SOUTH MCALESTER: As a result
of the Indictments returned by the
grand Jury at Ardmore, against promi-
nent Chickasaw tribal officers, it Is
very probable that damage suits will |
be filed against Secretary of the In-
terior Hitchcock and several metro-
politan newspapers who published the
premature and erroneous reports sent
out from Washington. It was an-
nounced at Washington that indict-
ments had been returned against
Mansfield, Murray and Cornish, tri-
bal attorneys, Gov. D. H. Johnston,
and ex-Gov. Palmer S. Moseley charg-
ing Ihem with belgg connected with
the fraudulent reissue of school war-
rants three days before the warrants
were Issued. Tho Indictments of the
governor, ex-governor and tribal at-
torneys was made jointly.
The bill recites that certain salary
and expense warrants were Issued to
the attorneys and cashed without the
approval of tho federal government.
The tribal authorities contcnd that
they have a written opinion by Sec-
retary Hitchcock Issued In lilOO, In
which he declares that the federal
government has no supervision of
salary and expense accounts of the
tribes and at the time of this opinion
the warrants named In tho indictment
were upon the secretary's desk, hav-
ing been called in by reason of a house
resolution by Congressman Stephens
of Texas, asking for a report on thest
Identical accounts.
The bad blood existing betweer
Secretary Hitchcock and tho tribal
authorities indicted is considered
responsible for the dragnet being

by Mr. Hitchcock.

advanced.
Wheat has been harvested and
shocked, and threshing is in progress,
with poor to fair yields and quality.
Oats and barley harvest progressed
with poor to good yields of a good
quality.
Broom and Kafir corn, cane, millet

The second crop of alfalfa was se-
cured, with a good yield, and hay har-

The Grand Union, the largest sum-

among green trees with its long wings
enclosing a court with fountains and
flowers, grass and trees, music and

ed with guests. With the progressive
spirit always shown by its manage-
ment, the Grand Union has again add-
ed to its attractiveness by introduc*
Ing acetylene gas to make still more
brilliant the evening hours. The ge-
nial proprietors believe in furnishing
their guests with the best of. every-
thing, and now, after investigating
and finding that Artificial Sunlight
can be had, they have installed a com-
plete acetylene gas plant to produce
It, and have connected upwards of six
thousand acetylene burners In and
about the house and grounds to this
little gas plant.
Like many discoveries of recent
years, which are coming into popular
favor, acetylene, one of the most re-
cent, is very simply produced. It is
adapted for use wherever artificial
light is needed and the necessary ap-
paratus can be understood and oper-
ated by anyone.
The generator in which Acetylene
is produced by the automatic contact ot
carbide and water might be termed t
gas plant, as it performs all of the funo
tlons of a city gas plant. The ace^
ylene generator can be purchased fof
a few dollars and in any size, from
one adapted to furnish acetylene to
ten or a dozen burners for a cottage,
up ta the large but still simple ma-
chine such as is now furnishing
Acetylene for six thousand burners
In the Grand Union.
Outside of large cities the use of
Acetylene is quite common. Tb©

mands running water, gas and other
conveniences which a few years ago
were considered as luxuries, and
acetylene gas has met his require-
ments, and gives him a better and
cheaper light than is ordinarily fur-
nished In cities.
It Is well known that rooms lighted
with Acetylene are more comfortable,
because cooler, and more healthful be-
cause the air is not vitiated.
