London, May 30. ? A special dis-patch to the Times from Weihaiweisays:
Your naval correspondent with thesteamer Haiinun has sent many dis-patches during the last two days, but,owing to severe intermittent storms thewireless apparatus has not worked per?fectly and only portions of his story ofevents within the scene of operationscan be depicted.
It seems, however, that the Kussiansdid not expect their position betweenKinchou and Nanshan could be taken,and Lieutenant General Stoessel's or-ders were to hold the Japanese back atall costs. It was then expected by(General Kuropatkin that General Ku-roki would detack a portion of hiscommand and send aid to General Oku,at the same time retiring to Fengwang-cheng to await the fall of Port Arthur.
This would have given the com-mander-in-chief opportunity to bringup reinforcements from Harbin toMukden and prepare to hold the de-fenses south of Mukden with 15,000men. The plan was a good one andfailed because of the splendid tacticswhich resu'ted in the sweeping vic-tory at Nanshan by the Japanese.
General Stoessel had it in his powerto stave off defeat, but he failed, andflesh and blood could not withstand thetorific bombardment which swept theRussian trenches, disabling Held pieceafter Held piece, and finally obliterat-ing entire gun crews. The defensesswept by the Japanese were of a mostsubstantial nature and both HeneralsKuakroptin and Stoessel had everyreason to believe they would prove 1 im-pregnable. It took six days fighting,however, culminating in Friday's all-day battle to sweep the Russian ool-umn back, and the Japanese will hard-ly follow up their victory until freshtroops can be landed to aid those al-ready in service north of Port Arthnr.
The earlier fighting was wonderfuland almost beyond the power of pencilto decsribe. The dogged determinationwhich marks the character of the Ori-ental was never better shown than inthe repeated assaults against the heigtsguarded by artillery and well-armedinfantry. Attack upon attack failed,but nevertheless fresh troops werepushed up to reinforce the shatteredcolumns, and ecah succeeding wave ofassault carried the heads of columnsnearer the objective point.
At times these waves would ebb andmotion would almost die away, butstill fresh divisions came from behind,and the distraction caused by the na-val attack on the rear enabled theJapanese to rush forward their heavyfield batteries into effective range.
Kussiuns Kelreal in Great Funic.As the evening shadows were falling
the Russians were beaten and began toevacuate their positions, slowly atfirst, but a state of panic soon seizedmany of the garrison and the retreat
became almost a rout.At 8 o'clock the flag of Japan was
floating over the entire chain of worksheld at daylight by the Russians. Theright of the Japanese position com-
| manded the Dalnv defenses, and the
I Russian garrison retired during thei night, leaving the way clear for theoccupation of the "Magic City,"where the Russians expended twentymillion dollars to create a system ofdocks and warehouses suitable for thevast railway terminal they had plannedto establish.
The Japanese plans, which were car-ried out to the letter, were exceedinglycostly, so far as men are concerned,depending more on weight of numbersthan upon rifle tire. Hitherto theyhave had the weight of numl>ers ontheir side, and this victory and againat Kinchou prove that the Japanesefighting man is a wonderful machine,which welcome* rather than fearsdeath.
Freeh troops are- being hurried to
| Oeneral Oku, and ho confident are the| Japanese that the occupation of Portj Arthur is but a matter of days thatJapanese refugees here are alreadychartering steamers to convey suppliesto Port Arthur.
I'AYOK CONSCHIFTION.
Itrilisli Itoyul Commission Kinds llOnly W ay 10 Keep I'p Navy.
Loudnu. May 30.?The report of theroyal commission on the volunteer andmilitia forces practically recommendsconscription as tile only means of pro-viding a home defense army adequatetor the protection of the country in theabsence or partial absence of the reg-
i ular troops. The commissioners are ofthe opinion that the principles adoptedby all other great European statesmust largely l>e adopted by Great Brit-ain, and that it is the duty of everyable bodied citizen to be trained fornational defense.
They point out that the necessarytraining would involve a period ofcontinuous service with the colors, un-der an instruction body of especi&llyequipped and highly trained officers,and they consider that one year of suchcontinuous training would suffice witha few weeks' attendance at the maneu-vers for a year or two afterwards. Thecommissioners estimate that such ascheme would provide about 1150,000trained men annually at a cost of prob-ably less than that of the present mil-itary system.

Goipriinicnt Will KstaliliKh Mail)Wireless Stations. .
Washington. May 30.?1t is now Riv-en out that the governmnet has all butperfected the plans for establishingwireless telegraph stations at frequentintervals along the Pacific, as well asalong the Atlantic coast and in its in-snlar possessions. and that these sta-tions will be for the free use of thepublic.
This ambitious scheme was devisedby the general board of the navy andhas been secretly nnder considerationby the burean of equipment of thenavy department for some time. Al-though it has been known that thenavy department was experimentingwith wireless telegraphy and that sev-eral stations had already been estab-lished, it was not until this time thatthe great significance and broad scopeof the scheme was made known.
The great system of wireless stationswill, of course, be primarily for theuse of the navy in coast defense. Intimes of peace, however, the stationswill be needed for strictly militaryuses only a small part of the time, andit is proposed therefore to make thema great public utility. The operatorswill be enlisted men of the navy.
It is about settled that there will t)e
no charge for sending messages be-tween these stations and passing shipsand other vessels and the use of thewireless system under the supervisionof the navy will be open to newspapers,maritime associations, land telegraphcompanies and private citizens gen-erally.
The department has already com-pleted or under way twenty-three sta-tions, and as many more will be estab-lished in the near future. It is prob-able that- one and perhaps two of thesewill be located on Puget Sound, thefavorite location being Bremerton navyyard. Ifa second station is establishedon Puget sound it will probably benear the entrance of the sound.
Thus far only two sites on the Pa-cific have been absolutely decided on,and these are at Mare Island navyyard and at the naval training stationon Yerba Buena island, near SanFrancisco. There will be one at Ca-vite, in the Philippines, another onthe island of (inam and still anothernear Honolulu. 'rhe system may ulti-mately be extended to Alaska.
It is proposed that all the wirelesstelegraph stations now established orhereafter to be established, shall beunder the control of the government,and legislation to that end will be rec-ommended by President Roosevelt inhis next message to congress.
M. S. QUAY IS DEAD.Noted Pennsylvania Politician
Passes Away After LongIllness.
Beaver, Pa., May ao?Col. MatthewStanley senior senator fromPennsylvania, died peacefully at 2:48o'clock Saturday afternoon, after anillness which had been more or lesspersistent for the last year, and whichtook a turn for the worse ten days ago.and which the doctors diagnosed aschronic gastritis.
The funeral will l>e held at 2 o'clocktomorrow afternoon, and the remainswill he interred in the family buryingplot in Beaver cemetery.
Senator (Quay's illness was a recur-rence of the trouble that beset himduring the latter part of 1900 and theearly days of January, 1901, when hewas undergoing the starin of a desper-ate fight for re-election to the senate.
He has since, that time been practi-cally resting, living a great deal of thetime in rhe Maine woods.
Senator Cjnay was born in YorkCo., Pa., Sept. :>O, IHitS. He was ofScotch-Irish parentage. His publiclife dates from his early manhood, be-ginning even before the Civilwar, dur-ing a portion of which he was secre-tary to Gov. Curtin. after which heserved as colonel of the 1114th Pennsvl- ivania regiment.
\ l-) \lt INC. UNION.
Itelieved Presbyterian Denomina-i tons Will Become One Clturcli.Buffalo, N. Y., May 30.?The Pres-
byterian general assembly brought oneof the most memorable gatherings ofthis denomination held in recent yearsto a close Saturday night. The ses-sions, it is believed, are the prelude ofthe union of all brunches of the Pres-byterian branches in the United States.
The <iuestion of union will now besubmitted to the Presbyteries, and,upon approval by two-thirds, the plansof union will be consummated. Therelations between the mother churchand the Presbyterian church south andthe United Presbyterians also tend to-ward unity.
The assembly placed itself on recordagainst the protest of a few commis-sioners, on the question of union withthe Cumberland Presbyterian churchby adopting the report of the commit-tee appointed to reply to the protest-ants. .
Russians Have sio Floating Mines.
St. Petersburg, May SO.?A highauthority at the admiralty said to thecorrespondent of the Associated Press:"Itis false to assert that the Russiansuse floating mines. They are notknown in the Russian naval service."This authority, while not committinghimself absolutely, strongly intimatesthat the Japanese battleship Hatsusewas destroyed by a torpedo fired froma submarine boat. It is now estab-lished that a submarine boat of theDreswicke type was at Port Arthurbefore the outbreak of the war.
