LA e VIEWS OF NAVAL EXPERTS. believed that Belleve Toge Will Permit Russians to Reach Viadivestok. .—The naval situation in the Far East has been discussed be- tween French and American naval of- ficers, including admirals who took part in the Spanish war. Both the French and Americans took the view that the Japanese would permit the Russian fieet to enter Vladivostok, which would thereafter become a repetition of the naval situation at Santiage and Port rench officer said that it was teristic of Russian sailors to seek pport of land fortifications, where adopt the defensive, making sorties over of the guns of the forts in- of adopting open sea tactics. On the other hand, it was pointed out that the Japanese hsd everything to gain in permitting the Russians to enter Vlad- ivostok instead of taking chahwes of a sea fight. Once inside Vladivestok, the Hussians would require coal and pro- visions, and it would be impossible to secure th wouid cut the land communications and This would present much the same situation as at Santiago and Port Arthur, with the Russians keeping un- der the shore defenses and the Japanese maintaining a blockade outside and trying 1o obstruct'the channels.

PARIS, May 27.—The Temps this afternoon publishes a dispatch from St. Petersburg saying that the Foreign Ministry announces that the Russian armies in Manchuria are preparing to | enter Mongoliu, but will not operate in the direction of Peking, in order to avoid a coliision with the Chinese troops commanded by General Ma, which | would provoke intervention on the part of the powers.

The correspondent of the Assoclated Press at the Russian headquarters con- firms the theory of & change in the Jap- anese plans. He telegraph8 that the Japanese are retiring at the slightest pressure on their right or center and are shifting eastward, seemingly with General Kuroki, developing a turning movement against General Linevitch's left or screening General Kawamura's army, which i8 reported to be still far- ther east, presumably ready to march on Vladivostok. The Japanese move~ ments, however, apparently are await- ing the result of the sea fight. g ARMIES WATCH THE FLEETS. Russian Soldiers Buy “Extras” to Get News of the Warships. GUNSHU PASS, Manchuria, May 27.— The attention of the drmies is now di- rected toward the fleet. The editions-of the Army Messenger, containing the press dispatches, are inadequate to sup- ply the demand, and are sold out to crowds of soldlers as soon as they reach the station. After the obstacles he has overcome confidence in Vice Admiral Rojestvensky’s success is high, and a victory which would give Russia com- mand of the sea would be hailed with enthusiasm. b TROOPS ORDERED TO SHOOT. Warsaw’s Governor Is Determined to Check Rioting.

TOKIO, May 27 (2:16 p. m.).—It is reported here that four Russian war- ships passed through the Kurile Btraits to the westward on May 25. The names of the vessels are unknown, but it is possible they were light cruisers from Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet. Kurile Straits divide the peninsula of Kamchatka and the northernmost .islands pf Japan. et Anniversary of Battle Observed.

ALAEADY CELEBRATIVG Continued from Page 29, Column 7. Perhaps. for once, the Russian peo- ple, so easily.a prey to despair, might be pardoned for this premature jubilation aftertheunbroken series of reverses suf- fered on sea andland.’ The authorities, however, while elated over the news, indulged in no unwarranted rejoicing. The -lights in the Admiralty’s office burned far into the night, and the fact that no other dispatches had arrived from Tokio, where alone the secret of the real situation is'known,; was consid- ¢red reassuring. Admiral Wifenius, chief of the general staff of the navy, said: “If Rojestvensky has cleared the Korean Strait, God bless him! He has open water ahead. If he has succeeded in mystifying the enemy and entered the Japan Sea with his force unim- paired he has earned the title of master of naval strategy.” At Tsarskoe-Selo, where it is realized that the whole fortune of the war, and, possibly, the fate of the dynasty, were staked upon the issjie, the greatest anx+ iety prevailed. Emperor Nicholas re- celved the news with satisfaction, but without elation, as an indication that Kojestvensky had outwitted his advers sary and cleared the difficult entrance to the Japan Sea. Throughout the Emperor displayed the greatest confi derice in Rojestvensky’s ability to turn the trick, but with the arrival of the decisive moment he showed nervous- ness and repeatedly had officials at the Admiralty and the Foregn Office send him dispatches, but neither Ministry could relféve the imperial suspense. STRENGTH OF THE FLEETS. Captain von Essen of Port Arthur fame, one of the most capable of Rus- slan naval officers, is one of those who believed that Rojestvensky’s arrival In the Korean Strait was not an affair of taystification, but was due to the rela- tive strength of the fleets. He ex- pressed the utinost confidence that Ro+ Jestvensky would reach Vladivostok without fighting a decisive battle, To- B0’'s fleet being too weak; he believed, to meet that of Russia in open combat. It is undeniable that many thoughtful Liberals display almost consternation over the success that has thus far at- tended Rojestvensky's voyage. A d cisive victory: for.him, théy beHe might so strengthen the Government as to. not only destroy all prospects of peace. but enable the Governmient, if it chooses, to stifle the whole programme of reforms and their dreams of a Par- lament and a venstitution. -~ DIPLOMATIC VICTORY i FOR STATE DEPARTMENT recommendations of the.

The following astonishing document has been received by a reader of Truth: MATRIMONIAL REPORT. Madame: We have the pleasure to for- ward to vou our.report of the condition of the matrimonial market for 1904. During the past year there has been but lttle inquiry for most titles, but that is & natural consequence of the extreme duliness of trade which has prevailed in this period. Dukes—The prices of these continue to be decidedly firm, and the holders of this title refuse to make any concession on their present rates, the supplies being ‘very short. Peers—There has been a fair demand for the most desirable sorts, and it may be expected to increase, as the quantity of the best growths is now smaller than it has been for years. Titled Elder Sons—The market has been very fat, but, no doubt, further business would have resulted had the stock on offer consisted of more desirable kinds. Honorables—These at present receive 1o attention, and little or nowing has been done in this direction. Baronets and Knights—iuere is no in- quiry for either of these growths, but ral baronets an. knights of desirable character are now offering at reasonable prices and are worth the attention of small buyers. The Guards—There is only a moderate demand for these, and guardsmen were very firm with regard to prices. The Well-Connected—The lower classes of the well-connected continue very dif- floult to-sell, and a new opening for some of the oidest lot now being offered at exceptionally low prices is much desized. Men of Intelligence—The supply and demand appear to have entirely ceased. ‘We are preparing to dispatch a miscel- laneous shipment of bachelors and widow- ers to the United States at the end of January, where the recent great adid- tion to the stock of millionaires must tend to increase the consumption con- sfderably, and we are certain that sup- plies will come to a good market. | S IMPORTS. been extremely disappointing, but full supplies may be looked for in the early spring of next year. “HUNTER & CO., Matrimonial Brokers, Piccadilly, Lon- don, $ —London Truth, Mrs. P.

Do you know anything about algebra?!” responded the youth, both sentences in the same breath. Now this professor was one of the no- table mathematicians of Yale and It sounded queer in his ears to be asked if he knew anything about algebra. “Well I know a littje about it. What's the malter? Perhaps I can help you." By this time the shoes were shined and the boy placed his book in the hands of the man to whom intricate mathematical calculations were not difficult at all.
