At this historic spot the party waC? photographed by W. J. Harris, and several interesting selections from Ptone's History of Wyoming were read by F. C. Putney. Queen Esther's rock was also visited, after •which the party procdcMjed across the river on the Wyoriling ferry to Port Rlanchard, whence they tramped to Valley View park.

A dispatch from the Japanese left army, just made public, says that at liD:2Q o'clock on Friday morning several battalions of Russians attacked the Japanese position at Wuchental, but were repulsed with considerable loss. On the same night 20CD infantry and 300 cavalry attempted to surprise the Japanese position at Siaodlaton. The force that was stationed there defeated them and compelled their retreat on Manchuangtzu. The Iiussian losses were sixty killed and the Japanese losses six. This is the most severe engagement of the week. Ou the center of the Japanese lines Kussian artillery has been tiring at irregular .intervals, but only a few soldiers have been killed. The Russians are steadily Intrenching and are receiving re-enforcements from Harbin. New York, Nov. 14.—A great storm, 'bringing death in its wake and imperiling the lives of all who were on the seas, a storm of hurricane force, has swept the Atlantic coast. One vessel is known to have gone down with all on board, and it is feared that when telegraphic communication is restored news will be received ol' many other St. Petersburg, Nov. 14.—Russia is facing a great internal crisis, which in the minds of intelligent Russians overshadows in importance all questions relating to foreign politics. A new, broad and liberal movement seems not only under way, but gaining momentum daily, and the best feature of it is that it is entirely divorced from any radical revolutionary propaganda. 1 EXTRACT \ J particularly for women and C J children when weak, suf- 2 $ fering from dyspepsia, j V nervous debility or sleep- 5 2 lessness. 2 z Stegmaiers' Malt Extract z Z is an ABSOLUTELY PURE 4 2 and PERFECT malt pre- 2 J paration and has the guar- J * antee of our leading c 2 physicians.

Delaware was swept by a veritable blizzard, and the strength of the blasts was so great that the wind register was entirely blown away at Lewes. Churches in all the Delaware towns were closed last ni;,'ht, and nobody ventured out of unless driven by necessity. Prince Sviatopolk-Mlrsky, the minister of the interior, had given the movement impetus, but has done so against the mosj powerful influences, and behind the scenes a bitter struggle Is waging for imperial support. During this week the first test of strength is likely to occur, the result of which may mean much for the history of Russia.

Two other tiiDopships will depart next week, carrying a number estimated at r,,000. All have recovered from their wounds and are destined for Marshal Oyama's army. The policy of reaction, whU-h had grown steadily sluce the accession of Alexander III., seemed suddenly to lose its main bulwark when Minister Plehve fell. With the advent of I'rince Sviatopolk-Mirsky and his frank appeal for a policy of mutual confidence between government and people a tremendous liberal rebound occurred, raising perhaps unjustifiably high hopes and aspirations.

The capture of the city will release 50,000 soldiers, and they will lie sent to re-enforce the armies now facing the Russians on the Shakhe river. It is believed that the Japanese will not take the offensive against Kuropatkin until these re-enforcements have been obtained. An American, enjoying absolute political freedom, can hardly appreciate the full significance of what the changes that have occurred since Prince Sviatopolls-Mlrsky's inauguration means in a land of absolutism. The Russian policy as regards Finland, if not reversed, has been greatly ameliorated, and the Finnish national diet will meet next month. Only yesterday prominent Finlaiulers who were exiled under the Plehve regime received permission to return to their own country or to go abroad if they desired to do so. The oppressive activity of the police throughout the empire has been largely relaxed, banishment by administrative order has been abolished, hundreds of political prisoners exiled to Siberia have been recalled, the Jews have received assurances of the dawning of a brighter day, the doors have beeu thrown open at two of the biggest trials proceeding in Russia (the Scliaumann treason trial and the Jewish trial at (Jomel), and the method of treating student demonstrations has been radically changed, persuasion being substituted for Cossack charges.

ANCIENT BURIALS.

The site of the fort is the top of an island of rock now occupied by a little hamlet called Castcl Trosino. All the warriors were laid with their faces to the east. Near the head was found a comb made of horn or bone and a round shield with iron boss. On the right lay a long, stra+glit iron sword in a scabbard of hide. Against the right shoulder was laid a long wooden spear and on the left a dagger in a highly ornamented sheath, decorated with gold, as well as a bow and arrows in a quiver. No Change on the Shakhe.

Headquarters of the First Japanese Army In the Field, Nov. 14, via Fusan. —The Russian forces are still encamped north of the Shaklie river. The bombardment by the Russians of the Japanese lines lias lessened lately. From the beginning they accomplished surprisingly little damage. Although on many days a hundred big shells were tired, 110 Japanese were killed, and very few were wounded. 43 North Main St. Nest to Eagle Hotel.

After years of the strictest censorship Russian papers suddenly found their voices within the last fortnight and were remarkably plain spoken in the discussion of Internal affairs and especially in connection with the forthcoming meeting of the zematvo representatives. Long accounts of the Schaumann and Gomel trials have been printed and even particulars of student demonstrations, with resolutions offered at the Polytechnic Institute declaring that what was wanted was not confidence, but an end of the war and the Immediate convocation of a national assembly. Such an unprecedented publication made the Russian public rul) its eyes iu amazement. Press Gains Freedom oleum, Floor Oil Cloth and Oil Cloth Gave Oyster Supper to town Patterns for under stoves.

With the national capital as well as most other points throughout the south and east cut off completely from communication with one another by the falling of telegraph and telephone wires many forms of business would have been forced to suspend completely had it been a week day. The enemies of the minister of the interior are now moving heaven and earth to postpone the meeting of the presidents CJt thirty-eight provincial zemstvos, which is scheduled for next Saturday, arid in the present circumstances some of the minister's own friends are counseling him to allow a postponement until January, fearing that a too radical expression of views in the agitation raised might furnish too much ammunition for the opposition. M. Shijoff. president of the Moscow zenistvo, who will preside at the meeting, favors this temporizing policy. It is even reported that Prince Sviatopolk-Mlrsky is wavering, though his friends declare that this is untrue. The whole question will be decided by the emperor early in the week. By the women were worn gold hairpins with rounded flat heads, gold earrings of different shapes, finger rings and gold plates. One ring has the names Gerontius and Regina engraved on it.

They prevent the flow of blood to the extremities and cause slight congestion of the brain.
