The start for home was made in the afternoon Choosing a route by way of the Ninety-second- street ferry, Mr. and Mrs. Gotshall | reached Manhattan at 4;30 o'clock. Gotshall noticed that the streets of the east side were crowded with men and boys, and instructed the chauf- feur to operate the machine slowly to avoid accidents. Notwithstanding the care taken, there were sullen mutterings from the erowd when the automobile neared | the middle of the block between First |and Second avenues. A shower of sticks and stones was aimed at the | occupants 6f the machine. A boy hurled a large stone, which struck | Mrs. Gotshall with great force. She | uttered a faint cry and fell to the | bottom of the car.

The automobile was pursued by the hoodlums unti! it out- ran them. a —————— WILL ESTABLISH COLONY OF NEW YORK HEBREWS NEW YORK, May 22.—Rev. Dr. L. Zinsler, president of the Free Loan As- sociation of Manhattan and of the Utopia Land Company, who bought for $200,000 a tract of 170 acres between Flushing and Jamaica, has planned the establishment at that point of a large | colony of east side Jews. There are 2400 building lots in the purchase. It is the idea of Dr. Zinsler to solve the so- called east side problem by giving the working people of that congested neighborhood an opportunity of buy- ing lots at a low price, say an aver: of $200 each, and help will be given them to put up moderate priced cot- s, The Free Loan Association has loaged east side Jews $400,000 at low rates of interest.

Vice Admiral Rojestensk com- mander-ifi-chief of the Baltic squad- ron, was instantly called from St. Pe- ersburg, and under his supervision work of pumping out and raising the Orel was begun. The ship was raised this morning and was found to be undamaged save that her interior was filled with dirty salt water. An examination showed that her Kingston valves had been opened, permitting the water to rush in. It is | suggested that the carelessness of a workman might have been responsible for the opening of the valves, but an investigation into the affair is pro- | gressing. ‘While proceeding from Galernii Isl- |and, St. Petersburg, where she was | built, to Kronstadt, the Orel grounded |in the the Neva and was hauled off | after considerable trouble. Some of her | plates were damaged. ST. PETERSBURG, May 22.—Private advices received from Vladivostok con- | firm the report that the cruiser Boga- | tyr was run upon the rocks.

LONDON, May, 23.—The Daily Tele- {graph this morning prints the follow- |ing, dated May 19, from its corre- | spondent at the Japanese headquar- ters, which the dispatch does not.lo- cate: “There has been no change in the position here for the past ten days. Our advanced division is in touch with | the enemy near Maotien Pass, where the Liaoyang road traverses the de- file. The Russian line ‘extends from Haicheng to the west of Maotien Pass.” oot Gl £ SKIRMISHING NEAR HAICHEN. Japanese Column Is Not Advancing Against Mukden From the East. MUKDEN, May 22.—The Japanese army is engaged in concentrating south of Ogaliaschyang. A little skirmishing is taking place about a half hour's march from Haichen, but it is not likely that the Japanese can attempt serious operations against| Liaoyang for several weeks. The idea that a Japanese column is advancing from the east Mukden is exploded now. It is pos- sible that no operations on a large scale will be carried out before wet weather begins. The Chinese magistrate of Haichen, who is suspeeted of giving valuable information to the Japaneese, is un- der arrest at Liaoyang. —_—— SKRYDLOFF AT VLADIVOSTOK.

He was met by Major Gen- eral Voronetz and deputations of the military, naval and municipal authori- ties, as well ase by an enthusiastic crowd, and was presented with bread and sait. Entering the town, the admiral drove to the pier in an open carriage, escorted by Cossacks, and boarded the cruiser Rossiay, on which a short ser- vice was held. The chaplain sprinkled and blessed the admiral's flag before it was run up to the masthead, where it was greeted with a salute from all the cruisers in the harbor. Admiral Skrydloff then visited the other cruis- ers. ? The Japanese cruisers reported as being between Gensan and Viadivos- tok have not been sighted. The open- ing of Vladivostok to trade has as yet had no effect in reviving business, which is at a complete standstill. The town is in an excellent condition and the general health of the people is good. AN ¥ L WILL DEFEND NEWCHWANG. Russians Reoccupy the Town and Construct Entrenchments. NEWCHWANG, May 22, midnight. —The Russians are reoccupying this place with a fair force of artillery and mounted infantry. The Russians are constructing slight entrenchments south of the town.

AL Russians Reoccupy Siuyen. FUSAN. Korea, May 22.—From Chi- nese sources it is reported that 2000 Russians have r'eoccupled( Siuyen. Cossacks have been seen near Kaoli- man and thirteen miles west, but none have been observed on the main road to Liaoyang. The Russians are scout- ing on all sides, but are disinclined to fight unless they are in far superior numbers.

Heath Organizes a Trust and Will Raise Prices in United States. CHICAGO, May —Fletcher Heath of Chicago has organized all the cigarette factories of Mexico into a trust and the general effect will be the advancement of prices on all lines of “‘paper cigars” on sale in the United States. The increased demand for Mexican cigarettes is at the bottom of the new move, which has resulted in a con- solidation of Mexican factories. The old-fashioned mild cigarettes of Amer- ican make have been passing out of public favor for years. The growing popularity of the Mexican cigarette prompted Heath to seek a consolida- | tion and now it is declared that this market will be flooded with the for- ! eign product. Fletcher S. Heath is a brother of Perry S. Heath, recently First Assist- 1 ant Postmaster General. —_——————————— College Engineers in Session.

Dr. Bucklin explains the theory of | this operation by means of a machine | called the respirometer, which meas- ures the relative change in altitude ef- fected by the operation. He cites the oases of several patients cured, or, as he says, “apparently on the road to a | complete cure,” through this simple operation. One operated upon in 1902 had had ity-five hemorrhages and seemed to be near death’s door. After the operation, which “raised his altitude 5.4 miles,” his bronchitis ceased in a week, and in five months he had gained twenty-two pounds.
