THE OUTLOOK fOR WAR
Between Groat Britain A:;d Russia is
Growing More Serious.
TALK OF WAR 13 VERY PLAIN
Right To Seize All Ships Carrying
Contraband Of War To Japan Is
Claimed By Russia, While Great
Britain Resents Seizure of Ships.
St. Petersburg, July 22. The nev/i
that Great Britain ha-5 delivered to
Russia a protest against the captim
of the Peninsular and Oriental steam-
er Malacca in terms which are be
lieved to he almost tantamount to a
demand for the immediate release of
the vessels and as a general protest
against the action of the Russian vol-
unteer vessels in stopping ships in
the Red sea is not generally known.
In the hotels and restaurants the war I
was temporarily forgotten and noth-
ing excepting the possibility of com-
plications with Great Britain was
talked of. The old resentment against
Great Britain, which had been much
ameliorated of late, became revived
at the mere suggestion that that coun-
try was again seeking to balk Russia,
but the official world which is charged
with the responsibility is keeping cool
and calm.
Provided a blunder has not been
made by the captain of the St. Peter
burg in mistaking British government
stores for contraband of war, Rv ;a
will probably be prepared to maintain
the justice of the seizure, but if a
mistake has been made the govern-
ment doubtless will order the Malacca
to be set at liberty and pay the bill
for her ill timed detention.
Whether Great Britain has followed
up the step then taken here by mak-
ing representations to the sultan of
Turkey regarding his responsibility
in allowing the volunteer steamer to
pass the Dardenelles is not known in
St. Petersburg, but there in the best
reason for stating thai such is not the
case. Great Britain has no intention
of re-opening the Dardenelles ques- 1
tion except poossibly as a last rc--
sor*.
This attitude on the part of Great
Britain at the time on account of the
long-standing enmity of Russia against
her is now likely to be aroused would
be exceedingly unfortunate. It would
greatly aggravate the situation and
the diplomats with one accord depre-
cate the talk of serious international
complications.
All the embassies and legations tel-
egraphed the news to their govern-
ments and the wires between St. Pe-
tersburg and Port Said are hot with
messages.
The report that the crew of the
Malacca left the ship at Port was
not received until midnight.
It is authoritatively stated that no
decision has been rendered as to
whether the Malacca, she".!'1 ♦he ves-
sel be held, will be taken before the
prize court at Lilmu or Sebastapol,
Mhough it is more likely that the ves-
sel will be sent to the former place.
Killed More Japs.
Che Foo. July 21—A junk with eirht
Russians and fifty Chinese on board
arrived, five days from Port Arihti..
The Russians refuse to talk, but the
Chinese say that on July 11 and 12
the Japanese captured and occupied
with four thousand men one of the
eastern forts near Port Arthur. Be-
fore reinforcements arrived the Ru
sians cut off these four thousand
troops in the forts and exploded mines
which resulted in the killing of every
Japanese soldier there.
The Chinese also report that the
night before they left Port Arthur a
Russian torpedo boat sunk a merchant
ship near Port Arthur, mistaking her
for a Japanese transport. Many
Chinese on board the merchantman
were drowned, but the white crew of
the steamer and many of her Chinese
passengers were rescued by the Rus-
sians. If this story be true the steam-
er in question probably is the Hip
Sang, belonging to the Indo-Cliina
Navigation company.
Sound Of Heavy Guns.
***# *G
* Ta Tche Kiao, July 19.—There *
* is reason to believe that the whole *
* or part of the Port Arthur squad- *
* ron has come north into the Gulf *
* of Liao Tung. The sound of the *
* firing of heavy guns is heard sea- *
* ward. Warships are distinguished *
* firing in the direction of Kai Chou. *
* It is surmised that they could *
* only be Russian vessels.
* Tokio.—The imperial headquar* *
ters staff officially deny the re- *
* ports from St. Petersburg that *
* the Japanese lost 30,000 men in a *
* battle near Port Arthur on July *
* 10 or 11. Not a shot was fired on *
* either side on that date.
Assassination of Vice Governor.
Adegshakent, Government of Eliza-
beth pol. July 19.—The assassination
yesterday of Vice Governor Andreig
of Elipabethpol occurred in a frequent-
ed thorughfare. The murder, who fire:
six bullets into Andreig's back, es
caped.
Andreiff latterly had received many
threatening letters. The murderer i
supposed to be an Armenian. A man
lias been arrested upon suspicion.
ADMIRAL TOGO'S FLEET
ON TOUR OF INSPECTION
Fusan. July 19.—The steamer Man-
churia, which is on a tour of inspec-
tion of the theatre of war with mem-
bers of the Japanese diet, foreign at-
taches and press correspondents on
board, reached the Japanese naval
base July 14. At the time of the Man-
churia's arrival a huge cloud of smoke
hung over the land. Rounding the
headlands the panorama of Admiral
Togo's fleet was presented at broad
anchorage in the channel with torpedo
scouts outside. The torpedo gunboat
Chihaya and the coast defense vessel
Heiyen acted as sentries over the
roadstead. Under the north end of
the island were five cruisers. In the
center were all five battleships.
Admiral Togo's and Vice Admiral
Dewas' flagships were on the left. The
armoured cruisers Niasin, Kasaga,
and the protected cruisers Hashidato
and Itsukushima were on the flank.
The gray, powder-stained vessels
floated tranquilly, waiting orders, and
heavy columns of smoke issued from
the forest of tunnels belonging to
hospital ships, transports, colliers and
torpedo boats.
Landing Of Troops.
London, July 21.—A dispatch from
Yinkow, tinder date of July 1! . says
that the reinforcements for which Gen-
eral Oku has been waiting are now
being disembarked under the protec-
tion of seven Japanese cruisers,
j The landing of troops, the dispatch
says, is aiso to be north of Port Ar-
thur and fighting may be looked lor
any time.
Tokio.—The armored cruisers Ros-
sia, Burik and Gromrcn, passed
through Tsugar straight into the Pa-
cific ocean.
! A Suez dispatch under same date
says:
"The G rmar steamer Zambia, it
is stated, has been seized by the Rus-
sians and is expected here tomorrow."
Premonition of Danger Undoubtedly
Saved a Life.
One of the most striking instances
of a warning dream was the story uar
rated of tue late Lord Dufferin, which
is, to the best of our knowledge, quite
well authenticated.
Lord Dufferin was staying at a coun-
try house in Ireland; and early one
morning he heard, or dreamed he
heard, a sound of wheels approaching
the main entrance. He naturally hur-
ried to tho window to see what was
afoot; and was not unnaturally sur
prised to see a hearse drawn up be-
fore the door of the mansion. He
especially noted the driver's face—a
very unpleasant one of a smooth pasty
complexion. He concluded that a ser
vant must have died suddenly and
that the coffin was being removed at
this unusual hour in order to cause no
shock to any of the guests in the
house.
As nothing was said about the mat-
ter in the morning, lie made up his
mind that he had dreamed the whole
affair, as was probably the case. Lord
Dufferin naturally thought no more
of the matter until one day, during
his residence in Paris, when he had
occasion to visit a friend in one of the
large hotels, and approached the ele-
vator to Le conveyed to his friend's
landing.
What was his horror on recognis
ing in the elevator attendant the
hearse driver of his vivid dream! De-
clining to use tho elevator, he left the
hotel, and shortly af'rrwards he heard
that the same day the elevator had
broken down, and the
ant was among the killed. Subse-
quent inquiries revealed the fact that
there had certainly been no nocturnal
visit of a hearse to the Irish mansion.
Why is This True?
We see the player on the plot catch
every whizzing ball, high ball, low ball,
grounder hot, he catches one and all
But it is strange, we do declare, this
selfsame catching star will chase him
self for half a square, yet fail to catch
his car.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

Auk's Egg Brings £200.
A great auk's egg was sold in I.on
don recently for 1100 guineas. It is
regarded as one of the best marked
of the sixty or seventy specimens in
existence. The history of the egg i
interesting. In 1842 it was sold for
M'2. Ten years later the price was in
creased to .CG4. for which sum it was
purchased by Lord Garvage. Then
it disappeared, and was reported to
have been broken by a careless ser
vr.nt.

Intended To Kill.
Topeka, Kan.. July 20.—Nathan
Shad and Blaine Greenway, two Kol-
ton negroes, are in the Shawnee coun-
ty jail, charged with assault with in-
tent to ki!!. They are charged with
trying to rob Arthur Scott, a white
boy 1(1 years old, in Holt on. and frac-
turing his : hull with a rock. The ne-
groes will be held pending the result
of Scott's injuries, and will then be
taken to I-Iolton for preliminary trial.
The feeling in Holton is very bitter
against the negroes, and it was to pre-
vent a possible lynching that the of-
ficers placed them in the Shawnee
county jail. Scott is in a very serious
condition.

"Want to see the fineFt work of art
in this*place?" asked a French jour-
nalist at the Austrian building Thurs-
day afternoon.
We're always wanting to see, so we
followed. He led us to a picture all
done in greens and blacks. It was
that of a girl asleep over a loom.
Light seemed to be shining through
the green blind that screened the win-
dow just beyond the loom.
The color the light took from the
blind was on everything in the room—
the head of tl.e girl, the cloth of her
loom, and the great loom itself.
The effect was as if the picture
were on glass behind which shone an
electric light.
It is the work of Svarisky, wall
known in European art circles. Wo
looked; we admired; we talked of the
ability of a man who, with two colors
only, could do such work.
One there was who disagreed. When
our exclamations were done he made
but one comment:
"Spinnage."
But he was hushed and hurried
a.way.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
