innnders Indicate that there la steady
skirmishing along the main front,
whore minor detachments are fighting
back and forth over practically the
same ground, with no decided advan
tage to either. These tactics seem
designed chiefly to maintain contact
and to worry the vanguards whllo
sparring for position before the de
velopment of the main battle. The
usual Chinese reports hnve been re
ceived thnt n turning movement has
begun, but the war ofllco discredits
them and declares that no consider
able .lananese force has yet appeared
on General Linevltch's Hanks. Tho
Russian cavalry has lately been ac
quitting Itself with better effect than
before, since the beginning of the war.
nnd 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 ctrclo
the Russian wings.

Baron Rosen and M. Nelidoff Will Act
as His Plenipotentiaries Baron Ko
I mura and Minister Takahlra to Rep
I resent Mikado's Government.
Washington, Juno 27. Russia has
lven reassurance in tho peace nego
tiations by placing the president in
possession of the tentative selection
of her plenipotentiaries, as follows:
M. Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador
at Paris, and Baron Rosen, the newly
appointed Russian ambassador at
Washington. Russia, thus having
taken tho initiative, it IS believed that
Mr. Takahlra, the Japanese minister,
during his last call at tho white house,
formally told the president that Ja
pan's selections, also tentative, were
Baron Komura, the Japanese minister
for foreign affairs, and Kogoro Taka
hlra, the Japanese minister at Wash
ington. Official announcement of tho names
of tho plenipotentiaries Is withheld
for several reasons. M. Nelldoff's
health may not permit him to make
the trip and pressure of official work
may necessitate the presence In Toklo
of Baron Komura. Mr. Takahlra and
Baron Rosen are regarded as the cer
tainties. Should such plenipotentiar
ies be chosen, both Russia nnd Japan
have names under consideration which
will enable them to announce their
third plenipotentiaries without delay.
Intorest regarding an armistice has
largely diminished in the last few
days because of tho receipt of In
fnrmntlnii that the valny season Is be
ginning In Manchuria. It is believed
hero that this will serve the purposes
of an armistice In preventing a clash
before the convening of tho confer
ence in AuguBt. Moreover, the in
formal soundings Initiated by tho
president at Toklo nnd St. Petersburg
did not yield much hopo for success
ful negotiations looking to an armis
tice until after the plenipotentiaries
meet. If Japan is then convinced of
tho serious desiro of Russia for peace
she will readily consent to an armis
tice. MOVEMENTS IN MANCHURIA

an attempt was made to persuade tho
dealers of the two states to pass reso
lutions opposing national railway rate

Tho resolutions were offered by J.

crippling of general industry anu a

Self After Trying to Poison Child.
Grand Island, Nob., Juno 27. Mrs.
Volslla Kvesock, wife of James Kves
ock, a lauuor of Cameron township,
this coun-y, committed suicide by tak
ing carbolic acid and tried to admin
ister a deadly potion of the same
drug to her three-year-old son.
Dr. Redfleld of Wood River was
summoned as soon as the husband of
tho woman discovered what bad taken
place and the little boy, It is believed,
will locover. The woman was beyond
aid. It Is believed she took tho poi
son first, that the little boy, disliking
to take medicine or any kind, resisted.
and that tho mother's pains became
violent before she could force tho poi
son down tho child's throat, tho burn
ing being mostly on tho exterior of
the child.
Mrs. Kvesock had undergone an op
eration about a year ago and has not

unpleasantness, nrlslng from their re
moval from South Omaha to this coun
ty about ii year ago, Is also said to
have been a contributory cause.
