Despatch TO The SUN.

Specia, Gable Despatch to The SUN
ST. PETERSBURG, July 2a.--Gen. kouro-
patkin. Minister of War, who returned
from Port Arthur yesterday, is represented
as saying that he is greatly satisfied with the
result of his tour.
He admits that the relations between
Russia and Japan were somewhat strained
when he reached Toxic. A fairly strong
party in Japan was advocating war, but
the Mikado was very well disposed toward
Russia, and he assured Gen. kouropatkin
of his amcable feelings. Gen. Kouropatkin,
moreover, gathered that the bulk Of the
Japanese were not influenced by the jingo-
ism Of the war party, and the atmosphere
is now cleared and war in the near future
is most improbable.
The Minister is quoted as saying that
Russia is prepared for all eventualities
and that she has standing army in the
Far East of 100000 men which can he
strengthened at any time.

they began to rip up the tin roof with axsa
and crowbars. The woman moved out.

WEDDING PRESENTS.
Some Hints About How and WIS
and when to Send.

Some Hints About How and What
and when TO Send.
l. is a golden rule to send your wed
ding gift in good time, the first to ar
rive being much more appreciated than
that which is one OF the many pouring
in from all quarters during the last
week
BY adhering 10 this rule you are also
saved the annoyance of hearing that
the saltcellars are charming, the third
set already received.
A month before the wedding day is
not too early to send the present, which
should be accompanied by "A visiting
card. to be placed on the gift when dis
played among the others.
The package should be addressed to
the bride If you are intimate with both
the happy couple. and to the brides
house, addressed TO the bridegroom. If
it is he with whom you are best ac-
quainted.
Most people wish to give something
novel. useful and pretty. The future
circumstances of the happy couple
should influence the choice.
If they are going abroad. do not give
anything unsuitable to the require
ments OF the climate or so cumber-
some that packing and conveying it to
its destination will amount 10 half the
value OF the present
If the recipients will not be particu-
larry well off. it is only kind to select
some useful present. In these days,
when artistic taste is shown in all the
necessaries OF life. this should not be
difficult
If the happy couple are likely to re-
ceive many presents, ii is safe to give
something which will not be amiss If
received in duplicate. such as silver
sweetmeat baskets for the dinner table
or set of afternoon teaspoons or a
bronze or china ornament

are no doors or passages in a typical
Japanese house. In il every room acts
as passage into the room beyond it,
and for the door you slide back the

frames OF the panels. The outside pa

PickwIeks In Livery.

The dignity OF some fat coachmen
in New York is very impressive. Their
development is outlined distinctly by
their coats. They have swelled steadily
and persistenuy year after year. and
every now and then the coats have
been let out and the buttons moved to
accommodate increasing inches OF
girth. 4 coachman's figure has n great
deal 10 do with his success. The at
tempts of fat men to look lean some
times verge on the humorous They
hold their heads high TO escape the
imputation Of obesity and pun out their
chests heroically. But with ali their
hauteur, pomposity and pretentious
bearing they look only like very fat
men in tight clothes, reminiscent OF
Pickwick in livery.-New York Press.
