slant jaring, all have backache from the
kidneys Women at their household
duties, boys and girls at play overtax the

kidneys warn you when in trouble; that
they cry out for help. Don't neglect the

Port Arthur, Thursday, July 9.-(Via
Che Foo THE visit of all the prominent
Russian officials in China, Manchuria and
Korea to this place is strictly business
one and in no way junket. The local
officials had arranged an elaborate pro-
gram covering the week, for the entertain
ment of the visitors, but after review
of fifteen thousand troops on the race
Minister OF War, announced that the re-
mainder Of the visit must be devoted to
weak Generic KuropatlSin la'esldes
daily over conferences which, it is ex-
pected will continueuntil July IA. When
questioned regarding the purpose OF
the meeting the officials present ex-
planned that Minister Kuropatkin desired
to obtain the fullest information concern
ing Russia's interests and work in the
Far East and naturally requested the
officials to meet him, since it was i'm
possible that he should visit all of them
st is intimated that one important ques-
ton to be discussed is the matter of the
consolidation of the government of Rus
sia's adjacent possessions in the Far East
under one administration wlCh a governor
general directing the whole.
High officials strongly deprecate war
.alk which is rife among officers of love-
rank and civilians. All who talk of war
profess to despise Japan as an antagonist
The policy of the United States govern
ment on the Manchurian question is gen
orally regarded here with surprise and re-
sentiment, comments being made to the
effect that the Russians expected Great
Britain to antagonize their progress. but
relied upon the traditional friendship OF
America to secure American approval.
The presence of a British squadron at
Wei Hal Wei and of American warships
at Che Foo is of great interest to the
Russian officers who ask many questions
regarding the mission and movement of
The British and American war vessels. AT
Port Arthur there are twelve Russian bat
tleships and cruisers, four of which are
regularly stationed there, and at Vladivo-
stock are forty-five smaller craft, most of
them torpedo boats or torpedo boat de-
stroyers The number of troops at Port
Arthur and in its environs is, according

railway company is preparing to bring
10000 more. The fleet and army are dis
