PETERSBURG, July 9, 2:10 | . m.—The capture of Kaichou by the Japanese, announced from Tokio to- day, is not officlally confirmed at the | War Office, but there is no dis- | position to question the probable cor- rectness of the report, as the latest ad- vices received here make it plain that the Japanese were advancing in force along the rallroad agalnst the Russian position. The occupation of Kaicheu, while it {18 not believed that it will exercise | material influence on Kuropatkin's | strategy, is of importance to the Jap- | anese, as it brings them within reach of Newchwang, facilitating General | Oku’s juncture with General Kuroki, | who may already be in touch. How | far the Russian commander in chief | attempted to contest the possession of Kaichou with the Japanese, the War | Office says will be revealed when the | official report arrives. The Japanese | reports of the severity of the fighting might indicate Kuropatkin's desire to hold Kaichou as long as pos- sible for the purpose of pre-| venting a Juncture of the Jap- anese armies, but the threatening po- sition of the Japanese columns east- ward may have rendered Kuropatkin’s withdrawal farther north imperative. It would not be surprising after the juncture of the Japanese armies If | Kuropatkin decided to retire even from Tatchekiao and Haicheng and concentrate his forces about his main position at Liaoyang. This would ren- der easy the Japanese plan to get pos- session of these places, flank the Rus- sians out of Newchwang, fortify a line from Newchwang across the head of the peninsula to Takushan and Feng- | wangcheng, secure control of the rail- road, establish a new base at New- chwang and prepare .to advance or retreat or to resist XKuropatkin's ad- vance, as the case might be, at the close of the rainy season. | News of the evacuation of New- | chwang by the Russians would seem to be the logical sequence of the an- nouncement of the occupation of Kai- chou by the Japanese. The capture of Kaichou (Kalping) throws the Japanese line clear across the Liaotung Peninsula and from the | Yalu River to the Liaotung Gulf. chou is about twenty-five miles south of Kinkow, the port of Newchwang, which is on the railway, and about twelve miles to the southeast of New- chwang. i FIGHTING FOR HER FUTURE. Russian Editor Declares His Country Is Not Seeking Territory. PETERSBURG, July 8.—M. Souvrin, manager of the Novoe Vrems= va which is attracting much attention, declares that it is not Manchuria nor Korea for which Russia is fighting, but it is her future position in the Far East, where covetous hands are stretched out, not only by Japan, but | by the United States and Great Brit- ain, which is the cause of the Amerl- | can and English sympathy for Japan. tussia, he continues, has been spoiled | by easy, bloodless victories in the Far Cast, consequently was not prepared for the struggle which was only avoid- | following Tolstol’s teachings | and letting the Japanese take what | able by they wanted, with the result that Rus- sia would again be placed under he Mongol, destroying the national spirit and the unity of the empire. The con- test, therefore, was accepted under un- favorable conditions. The Russians as plainsmen, are out of their element in the mountains. The Japanese were able at the outset to put in the field twice as many men as was Russia, and they have displayed marvelous skill, but these advantages are being overcome. Still the event of the Russian victory on land will be barren so long as the Japanese hold the sea. This is why the Baltic squadron acquires such enor- mous importance in the destinles of Russia and why the ardent wish of a majority of the people is to see the last division start out to reinforce the Pa- cific fleet. The Novoe Vremya article tends to strengthen the bellef that the division of the Baltic squadron which is to sail from Cronstadt July 28, under sealed orders, is to proceed at once to the Pacific. PSRV IEEEER STOESSEL SENDS REPORT. Confirms Story of Japanese Opera- tions Against Port Arthur. ST. PETERSBURG, July 9, 2:10 p. m.—Official reports from General Stoessel, commander of the Russian military forces at Port Arthur, dated July 7, confirm the reports of the at- tempt of the four Japanese torpedo- boat destroyers to enter the harbor of Port Arthur June 27, but do not con- firm the Chefu report of heavy Jap- anese operations of July 4 and § against Port Arthur and do not men- tion the alleged sinking of a Russian guardship June 27, as reported from Tokio. The torpedo-boat destroyer Lieu- MAY CAUSE CHA Kai- | , in a leading article in that paper | tenant Burukoff returned safely to Port Arthur July 2 from Newchwang. General Stoessel says that up to the time his reports were forwarded not a single fortress battery had fired a shot at the beslegers on the land side and that the railroad was then run- ning twelve miles beyond the peri- meter of the fortress. gl COMPLICATIONS NOT EXPECTED. Object of British Warships in Asiatic Waters Known to Russia. LONDON, July 9.—It is said in offi- clal circles that there is no likelihood of a serious question arising from the failure of the British gunboat Espiegle to reach Newchwang. So long as for- eign life and property are protected the British Government is not disposed to station a gunboat at Newchwang. It is stated 'moreover, that Russia is fully advised as to the purpose of Forelgn Minister Lansdowne in re- spect to the protection of British in- terests and subjects. The presence of a British#squadron in waters near the Gulf of Pechili has been the subject of considerable talk in diplomatic circles, and the order for the squardon to withdraw south is credited to the desire of the British Government to show Russia that it has no intention of giving even moral ANp| OCCUPATION OF KAICHOU BY JAPANESE | NGE OF RUSSIAN PLANS Forces of the Mikado Are Now Within Reach of New- chwang and It Is Thought Probable That Gen- erals Oku and Kuroki Have Formed a Juncture support to the Japanese fleet by the presence of a large British force in the vicinity of the scene of the latter's operations. S e SKIRMISHES ARE FREQUENT. Chief of Russian Staff Reports Few Minor Affairs Near Port Arthur. ST. PETERSBURG, July 9.—The ‘War Minister to-day received a dis- patch from General Kuropatkin’s chief of staff reporting a couple of unim- portant affairs between frontier guards and small parties of Chinese bandits near Port Arthur and adding that the troops forming the garrison are in excellent spirits. Skirmishes occur daily. The Russians captured fifty Javanese scouts on July 1 and the chief of police recently captured 240 head of cattle. There is an abun- dance of ammunition at Port Arthur, the dispatch adds. —————— Port Arthur Unchanged. CHEFU, July 9, 8 p. m.—Part of the staff of the bank of the Russo- Chinese Bank which was located at Port Arthur arrived here to-day and report the condition of the town to be unchanged. There was heavy fighting seven miles from Port Arthur all last week, and junks which came in here to-day report having heard firing off the harbor this morning. MUST STAT 00T OF PARLIANENT With the prospects of a general elec- tion at hand, it is as well to know whom you may nominate to represent you in; the House of Commons, and perhaps | the best manner in which to do this is ]lo mention those persons who are dis- qualified from holding office as mem- | bers of Parliament. | For instance, no English or Scotch | | peer may be elected a member of the| | House of Commons, but an Irish peer | may sit, providing he s not one of the | ;-eight Irish peers chosen to sit | in the House of Lords. A famous peer who played a prominent part in politics | in the House of Commons in the middle | of last century was Lord Palmerston, who was an Irish peer. Clergymen of the English church and | ministers of the Scotch church are not | | permitted to become possessors of the | proud title of “M. P.” nor Roman) | Catholic priests. But up to the begin- | | ning of the last century the question of | the admission of the clergy to the | House of 'Commons was involved in | considerable doubt. | There was a heated discussion in the House about ¢he time when Rev. J. Horne Tooke was elected for the bor- | ough of Old Sarum. Lord John Russell was returned to Parliament before he was 21 Strange to say though, Lord John | rang the death knell of the hopes of ambitious young men who aspired to | enter Parliament before they had at- tainéd their majority, for he was in- strumental in passing the great reform bill, which touched on that point, and | since that time the law has been strict- ly observed. “Aliens” may not sit in the House of | Commons unless they have become British subjects according to the forms | prescribed by law, nor can any one who has been convicted of treason or felony, | unless he has received a pardon or | served his term of punishment. A per- son convicted of any minor aflense is not actually disqualified frofn sitting, but he can be expelled by vote of the | House. A bankrupt may be | while he is undischarged he is not al- |lowed to attend to his Parliamentary | | elected, but duties, and if he remains undischarged for a longer period than six months the seat is declared vacant. A man who has been found gulilty of corrupt prac- tices—such as bribery at a party elec- tion—may never again sit for the place at which the offense was committed, nor until seven years after for any other place. | The holding of certain offices disqual- ifies some persons. Judges cannot act as members of Parliament, since, by virtue of their office, they can be sum- moned to attend and give advice in the House of Lords; neither can a pald Charity Commissioner, nor a member of the Council of India, while no re- | turning officer can sit for the place for which he exercises his duties. Like- wise, a number of pensioners of the crown and persons who hold or under- take any contracts or commissions for the public service may not be elected. If any of the latter should be returned the election would at once be declared vold and they would be liable to a fine of £500 for every day on which they sat in the house.—London Answers. ————— It's as difficult for some men to see the point of a joke as it is for them to get over it after they tumble. S remedy (< NEWBRO’ The GOING ! that *'kills the Dandruff Germ."” ING ¢ o NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. HERPICIDE GONE !1! PLAN OF CITT CENERAL'S OW “It is somewhat singular that the Congressional committee inquiries, hearings and deliberations concerning the fundamental engineering features of the city and particularly the mall, do not take into account the office which President Washington, himself an expert engineer, established for the preparation of a plan and its develop- ment and where the original surveys and notes made under his own eye and with his approval are preserved,” said an expert engineer familiar with the topographical history of the Dis- trict. “During the summer of 1791, while spending a brief vacation from the cares of office at Philadelphia, on his estate at Mount Vernon, the President met his engineer at Georgetown and passed an entire day galloping over the corn flelds which then covered the site of the future capital and examined the locations which had been outlined as what was then known as the public reservatlons, seventeen in number, in certain of which were to be placed the public bulldings. “Their first objective was the eleva- tion known as Jenkins (now Capitol) Hill. his attention to the western border of the plateau as the most suitable loca- tion for the Federal house (Capitol). Then after directing attention to the broad stretch of valley encircled on the north by a range of hills terminating in Georgetown Heights and washed on the south by the Potomac, the engi- neer indicated in the distance the site of the President’s house and ‘to the south a knoll where he had mapped the site of the equestrian monument voted in his chief's honor by the Con- tinental Congress in 1783. Between the Federal house and this knoll, toward the west, and from the same point to the east, a distance of one mile, where it was proposed to erect an historic column, it was the purpose of the en- gineer to establish the axis of his plan. From this base line all surveys were to be measured. The President and his engineer having determined on this in- itial step, galloped along the Tiber to the knoll referred to, from which point they looked back upon the hill. The President, at once grasping the situa- tion, not only gave his approval to this line, but also the point selected for the statue in his honor. From here they continued their ride to the site of the President’s house, to the location of which the President also gave his con- sent. “The feasibility of the actual work- ing of the plan as proposed by his engineer was apparent to the expert judgment of Washington as a surveyor, and not only received his sanction, but orders to proceed forthwith. The first step was the establishment of the ini- tial point on the spot which the Presi- dent had indicated on Jenkins Hill For this purpose Major L'Enfant, as- sisted by Mr. Ellicott, also an expert, drew a true meridionals line by ‘ce- lestial’ observation, passing through the area intended for the Federalhouse. This line extended north along the cen- ter of a proposed street, now North Capitol, and south in the same way. This was, in fact, the prime meridian of the United States. This line was crossed by another due east and west which passed through the same area. This axis to the west lay in the center of the mall to a monument on the ground placed there on December 2, 1804, by order of President Jefferson, still shown by the inscription as a true parallel on the globe, at the point of intersec- tion of a north and south line,-the north limb of which passed through the center of the President’s house. The axial line extending east followed what is now the exact center of East Capitol street. The one mile terminates in the center of now Lincoln Square. “To show the significance of this point it was proposed that the his- toric column should be an. ‘itinerary’ column as well, from which all dis- tances through the ‘continent’ were to calculated. All the east and west streets are parallel to this line. These lines were actually measured and made | the bases upon which the whole plan was executed. All lines as the sur- veys progressed were run by a tran- sit instrument and the acute angles were determined by actual measure- ment, leaving nothing to the uncer- tainty of the compass. Around the initial point referred to in the course of years rose the mighty Corinthian At this point-the engineer called | West. “READY FOR A PLUNGE.” A FAMILIAR SEASIDE STUDY IN BLACK AND WHIIE.... ..Free With Next Sunday’s Call.... a5 4 “READY FOR A PLUNGE” The SUNDAY CALL, in keeping with its well established reputation, will continue to issue the handsomest Art Supplements ever issued by any newspaper in the great Don’t fail to collect these beautiful pictures.

A small boy aged 5 years had a step- mother who was young and mnervous. She had never had experience with children, and the small boy's slightest ailment tortured her into a panic. Croup threatened one day, and the doctor was sent for in wild haste. As the doctor entered the room the child raised his head from his pillow and croaked hoarsely in apology for the hasty summons: ““You must excuse her, doctor; this is the first time she has ever been a moth- er.”—Lippincott's Magazine. ————— What comes from the heart goes to - His Improvement. “I used to think,” sarcastically and paraphrastically said the Old Codger, “that you could lead a boy to college, but you couldn’t make him think, but it sorter strikes me that something has stirred up that 'ere peaked-headed (as I've always called him) nephew of Lu- ther Stang’s, s0’s he's got to doin’ some pretty shrewd thinkin’, and, incidental- 1y, somehow acquired quite an accurate estimate of his own worth.
