CHEFU, June 10.—Chinese who have arrived here from Takushan say that the Japanese army of 20,000, which landed at Takushan last month and proceeded toward Fengwang- cheng, presumably to reinforce Gen- eral Kuroki, returned to Takushan on May 28. The Chinese believed that the Jap- anese had been defeated by the Rus- sians, but it is regarded here as more likely that the advance toward Feng- wangcheng and the return to Taku- shan were simply a Japanese feint. The Chinese further report that a small body of bandits attacked the Japanese at Kinchou and that forty of the hand'nn were killed. O TURKEY STRICTLY NEUTRAL. No Likelihood That Black Sea Fleet Could Pass Dardanelles. ST PETERSBURG, June 10 (2:40 a. m.).—The press is informed official- ly that no negotiations are taking place between Russia and Turkey con- cerning the passage of the Black Sea fleet through the Dardanelles. The Turkish Government has affirm- ed positively its Intention to maintain neutrality and to observe strictly the obligations of the Berlin treaty. ‘While diplomatic circles do not be- lieve in the existence of danger in the Balkans, yet it is thought that Rus- sia will not consider a reduction of the Black Sea fleet at this time. ——————— The Two-Headed Eagle. The symbol of the two-headed eagle is considered by some heralds to be merely the result of the heraldic prac- tice of “dimidiation,” which ecrept into English heraldry during the reign of Edward I Dimidiation was simply a child’'s way of impaling two coats of arms on the same shield by the primi- tivg method of cutting each in half and taking the dexter half of one and the sinister half of the other and placing them back to back, as it were. Strange two-headed beasts naturally resulted, as, for instance, when a lion and an eagle were halved and joined together, and the griffon is supposed to have been evolved from two lions rampant by dimidiation. It robs the two-headed eagle of half its terrors to know that it owes its origin to this sort of child’'s play. The gryphon and mock turtle that went out to sea with the whiting are far more serious,creations.—London Daily Chronicle, 5 .

The episode in the Senate a few days | ago, when Senator Nelson of Minnesota allowed a “damn” to slip out in the earnestness of debate, recalled to sev- eral persons the incident of more than twenty years ago when Elbridge G. Lapham, then a senator frem New York, whistled for a page. The proceedings of the Senate were | especially dull that day, and the cham- ber was comparatively quiet. Senator | Lapham was absorbed in writing at | his desk, when he suddenly looked up | and emitted a shrill whistle. He want- |ed a page to do an errand for him, and he got him—but the usually digni- fied Senate was first horrified,” then convulsed with laughter. | The conventional method employed by a Senator in calling a page is a | brief clapping of the hands, and this | practice some times mystifies visitors in the senator is applauding. The Senate pages are usually so watchful, ever, that the motion of a senatorial stantly scurrying across the floor to the Senator’'s seat.

Yes, we are gelling lots of them,” said the young woman behind the optical counter in a big de- partment store over in Philadelphia the other day. “Our sales always jump in weather like this, and in extremely hot weather in summer. During a long spell of even weather, when a winter is not extraordinarily cold or a summer, not extraordinarily hot, there is little de- mand for thermometers. But just let | a very cold spell set in in winter, or a very hot spell in summer, and it makes all the difference in the world in the sales of our department, although ther- mometers are simply regarded as a | side issue. Suburbanites are especially eager buyers, particularly at this time of year, when the temperature in the early morning is several degres lower in outlying districts than it is in the city proper. It's a great source of sat- isfaction to the suburbanite to come in town, see a thermometer registering 7 degrees above zero, and say with great complacency, “‘Why, the thermometer on my porch was 1 degree below when I left home.” "—New York Commercial. e e s s DEWEY KEEPS A TYPEWRITER.—Wal- | black, are now | the gallery who wonder what or whom | how- | hand_is enough to bring a boy in-| KUROKI DRIVES THE SLAVS FROM STRONGLY - FORTIFIED POST NEAR FENGWANGCHENG Russia’s Main Army Is Ap- parently Taking the Offensive. Its Front Now Forms a Half-Circle Around Feng- wangcheng. Sl Special Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, June 10.—A special dis- patch to the Daily Mail from Fusan says the Russians, who are apparently taking the offensive, have reached Sui- sailing and are advancing along the rallway to Saimatsze. They are being heavily reinforced. THe Russians are now in a half-circle around Fengwang- cheng, from Saimatsze to Liaoyang, a screen ofCossacks covering their front. The northeast roads and passes are strongly held. The correspondent of the Standard at Tientsin says that China is prepared to assume the civil administration of the territory the Japanese have con- quered. The Daily Mail's correspondent at Tientsin learns that 10,000 Russian in- fantry, with several batteries of artil- lery, are entrenched in a strong position at Pochichia, twelve miles south of Kaichau and thirty-five miles from | Newchwang. Shanghai telegrams aver that the Japanese third army, under General Nogi, will assault Port Arthur. while the second army, under General Oku. «will co-operate with General Kuroki. SRR RUSSIAN FLEET USELESS. Port Arthur Chinese Says Only Five Vessels Are Ready for Sea. CHEFU, June 9, noon.—Chinese ar- riving from Port Arthur say the en- trance to that harbor is still blocked and large vessels are unable to pass in or out. Gunboats and torpedo-boats | can effect a passage only at high tide. | The Japanese fleet is bombarding | Port Arthur daily from a considerable distance off shore, fearing to attempt a closer range because of the danger from Russian mines. A Chinese formerly employed in the machine shops at Port Arthur, who ar-| rived here to-day, says that only five of the nine largest Russian ships at| Port Arthur are capable of going to sea and that steam is kept up in but three of the five sound vessels. All of | the guns from the damaged ships have | been removed to the forts and the sail- ors from these shins have gone to the front with the troops. The Russian warships, which formerly were painted painted gray, as are the vessels of the Japanese fleet. Rus- | sian torpedo-boats leave the harbor occasionally for short trips, but the larger warships cannot get through thel entrance. | Japanese spies, who entered Arthur last week, distributed notices assuring the Chinese of liberal treat- ment in case the Japanese were vic- torious. | Ly | No Explosion on Cruiser. ST. . PETERSBURG, June 9.—The ! | Admiralty authorizes a denial of the | report published in Paris from Sebas- topol that a serious explosion has oc- curred on board the Russian cruiser Smolensk. 3 Sudden Movement by the Commander of the Fi mtI Army of Japan Results in the Defeat of the Enemy at Saimatsze. Kuropatkin Reports No Damage Done by the Bombardments. ST. PETERSBURG, June 9.—All|barding Port Arthur intermittently Slav Outposts in Frequent Japanese movements are interpreted here as caused by an attempt to ham- per as much as possible, whatever movement General Kuropatkin may: be making to help Port Arthur. Not only have the Japanese bombarded the west coast of Liaotung Peninsula, where the railway runs close to the shore, maintaining feints of debarka- tion, but General Kuroki has assumed the offensive eastward. He has sent an overpoweringly strong column that drove out the Russians from a forti- fled position at Saimatsze, twenty miles northwest of Fengwangcheng, inflict- ing a loss of 100 men. The authorities say that they are without information concerning the fight at Saimatsze beyond the official dispatch that was made public to- night, but that the Rusian withdrawal was quite in accordance with General Kuropatkin's prearranged . plan, al- though the Russian losses Indicated stubborn fighting. SURF RED WITH BLOOD. Foes Battle in Water Waist Deep on Liaotung’s Shore. TOKIO, June 9 —Wounded officers who have returned to Tokio from the Liaotung Peninsula give fnteresting details of the battle of Nanshan Hill. After the first ineffectual attack ~on the hill the Jupanese scouts discovered that there were mines at some spot at the foot of the hill. It was deter- mined that they could be definitely lo- cated only by the sacrifice of some men. Hundreds volunteered to go to what appeared to be certain death. They. led the second advance and found tha heavy rains had washed away the cov- ering of earth and had exposed the mines. Engineers cut the connecting wires, rendering the mines useless, and sustained no loss. The volunteers were nearly all killed in the subsequent in- effectual attack on the hill. The Osaka men, from the right wing, while advancing through the water along the shore, encountered a body of Russians, also in the water. A fierc: fight ensued. PBoth sides were waist deep in the sea. When the Russians finally retreated the water was liter- ally erimson. Both sides lost heavily. During the day the Russians used several war balloons, well out of range. | In the trenches, after they had been | W captured, were found many articles of | clothing belonging to women and. chil- dren, making it evident that the Rus- sians intended their defenses to be per- manent. SR S WORD FROM PORT ARTHUR. Port | Admiral Wittsoeft Reports Intermit- | tent Bombardments From Sea. ST. PETERSBURG, June ‘War Office is in possession of informa- tion which the officials declarg war- rants a contradiction of the reports brought by Chinese fugitives to Chefu of a four days’ land and sea attack on | Port Arthur and of extensive damage | to the forts. An official dispatch from Rear Admiral Wittsoeft, dated June 7, reports that the enemy has been bom- 9—The | | subject of complaint to the Viceroy. | from the sea, but does not mention se- rious operations from the lan@ side. The ,Admiralty i§ not disposed to credit the report that the Port Arthur squadron has left Port Arthur, or the rumor of its junction with the Vladi- vostok squadron, although this is evi- | dently part of the programme. If it comes to the,worst, the Port Arthur squadron will go out and give battie. It seems certajn that the Russians are now in wireless communieation with Port Arthur.” By no other way could the sreceipt of -Admiral Witt- soeft’s dispatch of June 7 be accounted for. A e e - BOMBARDMENT OF COAST. Six Japanese Warships Take Part in the ‘Attack. LIAOYANG, June 9.—Six warships, including one battleship, participated in the bomb4rdment .of the coast of the Liaotung -Peninsula, near Kai- chou. After appearing off Gauntsia- tung and Tsangtsiatun,” they opened fire as they approached the latter place, shelling the coast line between Hudsiatung apd Baiosichay. At 4 o'clock “in the afternon they shelled Russian scouts near Sianbantszy and were. joimed at 5 o'clock by eleven other “warships—two - large- and ode small. It is possible that the demon- stration was made to cover a landing of troops. Railroad communication on the Lidotung Peninsula is restored as far south as Vufangow. The enemy’s outposts were with- drawn from their positions In the Liaotin Pass, on the Suiyen road, on June 6.
