Russian plan of campaign is directed from a railway carriage here, in which General Kuropatkin works, eats and sleeps. The car is divided into & sa- ljoon, & study and a bedroom. The commander-in-chief passes the most of his time in the study at work, sur- rounded by his aids. Although small of stature, Kuropat- s at once distinguished among his n however brilliant may be their uniforms, by his~brilliant ges- tures and sturdy figure.

He also djstributes medals to the wounded who have performed acts of special bravery. S Ll NOT AMERICA’S CONCERN. Could Not Prevent Shipment of Sub- marine Boat to Japan. WASHINGTON, June 11.—The Unit- ed States Government has received no information regarding the reported sale. to Japan of the Lake submarine boat Protector. The boat was understood to be pre- paring to compete with the Holland boat Fulton for endurance, speed and availability as a torpedo boat under water and awash. The Navy Depart- ment officials had made ready for the test, upon which depends the expendi- gress at the last session for the pur- chase of the best type of a submarine boat. The Fulton has had its trial, but the Protector has not yet appeared on the course and the naval trial board does not know where she is or whether she will be present at all, although the Lake people have not notified the de- partment of her withdrawal from the contest. So the naval officers do not cts About a Growing Business ’ Some Fa » re window space and a sales-floor of considerable width and depth. ill be located in this addition. fternoons that more room is absolutely necessary. days ago we leased the store next door at 742 Market “Susnes sar we have been compelled to alter our store to provide more room for our fast- street.
