During the day Father Kenna received many tele- grams of congratulation from promi- nent people, and also a number of pres- ents. Sports were held on the outer college Though no records were bro- ken, owing to the fact that two of Santa Clara’s crack sprinters were in- capacitated by sickness, the events were all closely contested. At 1 p. m. an elaborate banquet was served in the dining-room of the col- lege. The decorations were beautiful and consisted of ferns, palms, cut flow- ers and streamers of red and white, ex- tending from one end of the room to R. Cornellus, President Division 205, A. A. of §.

When this findl rmen’s de- hope was be- lief, mostly in manner and not words, that a strike of the car operators was inevitable. No date has been posi- tively set for the final vote of the men on the strike question, and none of the officials of the union will give a statement. At midnight it was announced that the executive committee of the Car- | men’s Union had voted unanimously to follow strictly the laws of that or- ganization and to make an offer to the United Railroads to submit all points in dispute to a board of arbitra~ tion, to consist of three citizens of This proposition will | mountains, leaving JAPANESE TORPEDO BOATS ENGAGE _ RUSSIAN FORCES ALO Slavs Flee Before the Guns of the War Craft, I SRS R TOKIO, April 28.—The Japanese gun- boat Mara, accompanied by several torpedo-boats, entered and ascended the Yalu River on Monday, April 25, and fought a series of small engage- ments with the Russian land forces on Monday and Tuesday, Admiral Ho- soya, who is in command of the third squadron, has sent in a report of these operations inewhich he says: “Our detachment reached the Yalu | on Monday. While going up the stream the enemy’s field guns opened against us without effect. We discovered a force of the enemy on an island in midstream. We fired upon them, whereupon'they fled. “On Tuesday the enemy’s cavalry, 100 strong, attacked us. Our launch and torpedo-boat No. 69 replied to their fire, and the enemy fled into the several wounded behind them. 4 “At 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon the enemy opened fire on us from Antsu- shan. We reolied and silenced them after a half-hour. There was no cas- ualty on our side.” o BN FOREIGNERS IN DANGER. Menaced by a Secret Society Organiz- ing in Eastern China. LONDON, April 20.—The Standard’s Tientsin correspondent reports that a strong secret society movement, anti- governmental and anti-foreign, s in progress in the vicinity of Tsinanfu (175 miles south of Tientsin) and that the people are flocking to the city for safety. L ‘War Nurses En Route to Orient. CHICAGO, April 28.—A party of young women who are on their way to Port Arthur to act as Russian nurses arrived in Chicago to-day. The party is under the leadership of the Countess of Bavanda, who has lived several years in Russia. Countess Bavanda is an American by birth—a native of New Orleans.

Major Togo Tatzozero, a member of the general staff of the Japanese army, who is a prisoner here, having been captured at Wiju, where he had lived since January last, said to-day: “The Russians will be driven as far as Baikal. Farther than that we do not wish to go, but we will return to Manchuria and open it to the trade of the world. Our people are certain that they can beat the Russians, but I think we began hostilities fifty years too soon. a serious war. “Japan wishes, above everything else, to command the sea, and she will then } | | | | We are not prepared for such | gain Harbor of - Vladivostok. LONDON, April 29.—The Daily Tele- graph’s Tokio correspendent asserts that the Russian cruisers slipped past fog and regained the harbor of Viadivo- stok. This is the only additional news that has reached London concerning the Vliadivostok squadron. No further details have been recelved regdrding the sinking of the Japanese transport- Kinshiu Maru, which incident is much commented on here as proving that the Japanese placed too much confidence in their command of the sea, and there is no doubt that it will induce greater vigilance on the part of their com- manders. There is some inclination to criticize harshly the action of Rear Admiral Yeszen, but most of this morn- ing’s papers prefer to await particulars | of the affair before passing judgment be free from fear of invasion and loss | of territory. With the complete destruc- tion of the Russian fleet we believe the | war will end. “Japan's alliance with Great Britain was a stupid act and it will be of ‘no service to us. “We Know perfectly well that the Americans were never our friends, be- cause in the Far East they were al- ways our opponents. We are afraid that if Japan is victorious the British and the Americans only will benefit. would be foolish for Japan to ally her- self with the United States, because the Americans do not intend to help us, but rather wish to exploit us.” \ E—— CHINA DOES NOT WANT WAR. Peking Is Determined to Maimaln' Good Relations With Russia. PARIS, April 28.—Souen, the Chinese Minister, in an interview to-day, said that his Government could not view with satisfaction Russia's indefinite occupation of Manchuria, but was determined to maintain good rela- tions with the Russian Government. ‘War, the Minister said,-was not de- sired at Peking. If any counselors ex- isted who were unreasonable enough to propoge to attack Russia while that country was engaged with Japan, they would not meet with any eredit from Chinese statesmen familiar with for- eign affairs. “China has no interest in attacking Russia,” continued the Minister. “We are fully aware that intervention might cause dangerous complications, the outcome of which would be fata to China herself. Whatever our sym- pathies may be, we will not launch our country into a_wild venture. “Our trained troops near the Great ‘Wall do not exceed 20,000, and it is not with such a force that the Russian army could be conquered. Japanese aid would not help us much, and, moreover, the court is not anxious to introduce the Japanese army into China, even for the purpose of defend- ing that country. At the same time, it is certain that the Chinese masses are favorable to Japan.” x, that it | | It} i | torces W | upon it. The report that the Japanese have occupied Kieuliencheng has not yet been confirmed. According to the Standard’s Tientsin correspondent, the whole country out- side the Great Wall is abnormally flooded and any movement of the land impracticable for the present. A special dispatch from Port Arthur says the demonstration made by Jap- anese torpedo boats covered by a Jap- anese squadron off Port Arthur yestgr- day morning was for the purpose of creating a scare and inducing the bat- teries to waste their ammunition, but the Russians refrained from answering the Japanese fire. The Copenhagen correspondent of the Morning Post says theére are rumors that Russia is negotiating for the pur- chase ¢f the Danish liners Hekla, Norge and Island It is that large contracts for Welsh coal are being placed at Cardiff by both Russian and Japanese agents. — - Cyril En Route Homeward.
