would give the Russians the advant-
age of their superiority in cavalry.
Chinese residents fleeing to Mul-
complain that the Japanese are pill
laying Lao Yang. General Sakharoff
telegraphs formal denial of several
of Oyamas statements. He says the
alleged dumdum bullets found at Lao
Yang are simply the regulation square
nosed bullets of the service revolver,
they are of the same calibre as the
Russian caliber of 1891, and the bull
lets are all lead and not jacketed and
in no wise dunn dums. The general
also denies the statement that the
Japanese captured large quantity of
ammunition. He says they only OBJ
tain possession of few boxes OF emp
ty cartridge shells and says it is
not true that the Russians rolling
stock fell into the hands of the Japan
ese. Only two trucks, he adds, were
left on a siding.

Leavenworih.

Fort Leavenworth, Kan, Sept. IL
The Sixth Infantry, accompanied by
the band, will leave for an eight days

st. Petersburg, Sept. 1.-THE al
most complete quiet prevailing at
Lao Yang and Mukden is accepted
as the natural and inevitable conse-
quence of the furious activity OF the
past three weeks. The view taken

to be a resumption of fighting in that

1t can hardly be expected that much
actual news will develop in Central
Manchuria for some time to- come,
and attention is now turning toward
Port Arthur, where, as General Sto-
essels latest report indicates, the Jap
anese are gathering strength for
another spring at the fortress. 1t
is taken for granted here that there
will soon be news of Importance from
Port Arthur, since the Japanese
throughout the war have seemed to
alternate their attentions between the
beleaguered fortress and the Russian
army toward the north. 1t thus ap-
pears that it is Port Arthur's turn
to keep up the excitement while Field
Marshal Oyama is preparing for the

IMPORTANT NEWS EXPECTED

fore they depart for foreign waters.
The Baltic fleet remains at Libau
awaiting orders.
General Kuropatlin telegraphs that
there was no fighting on Wednes-
day. The general says strong detach-
ments of Japanese infantry have ad-

tai station.

prevailing Immediately after the bat
tie of Lao Yang has entirely disap-
peared among the Russian army now
concentrated here. Business has re-
sumed and the city is quiet. The Rus
so-Chinese bank has reopened.
The failure of the Japanese to fol-
low up the advantage gained at Lao
Yang has caused surprise here.
An independent authority who ac-
companied the rear guard from the
positions south of Lao Yang to Muk-
den says that this failure is account
ed for by the fact that the Japanese
lost 10000 killed and wounded in one
days fighting and that besides they
were too tired to continue the ad-
vance.
The Japanese are reported to be in
trenched around Lao Yang and to
have repaired the bridge over the
Taitse river
Twelve thousand soldiers wounded
at Lao Yang have been treated at
the Red Cross hospital here.

HE'D LULL THEM TO SLEEP.
Visionary Had Great Scheme for Use
On Pullman Cars.

On fuIIndn SdTSs
One of the oldest ideas developed
recently was discovered by man
who had advertised for opportunities
for investment. One of the answers
merely asked for an interview, stat
ing that the idea was too valuable
to be communicated by mail. 1t was a
straightforward business communica-
ton and an appointment was made,
which was kept by man who might
have been a lawyer or broker, so
far as outward appearances were con-
cerned. Only when he began to talk
did it become apparent that he be-
longed to the army of Missionaries.
He found, he explained, that only
small percentage of those who trav-
eled in sleeping cars were able to
obtain rest, owing to the roar and rat
tie of the train. His invention was
designed to overcome this difficulty.
1t was his plan to have small tubes
installed along the sides of the cars
below and above the windows. A
slight opening at each end OF the
berths would enable one to plug in an
earpiece similar to those used in pho
nographs, and thus exchange for the
rattle of the trucks soft music to lull
them to sleep. One monograph, he
explained would supply the entire
car, and a slight extra charge might
be made for the use of the tubes.
For the cost of the patent he was
willing to let anyone come in for
half interest, and he was much sur
prised when this generous offer was
declined.

GERMAN SANITARY HOUSING
Much Is Being Done by Building So
cieties Of Germany to Benefit
Working People. 4

According to United States CONNER
cial Agent Harris at Eibenstock, a
great deal is being done in Germany for
the benefit of the working people, espe-
cially in the matter of providing them
with suitable dwellings, Large man
ufacturing establishments, municipal
bodies, charitable organizations and
private spectators, Mr. Harris says,
have each and all done much toward
Ibettering the hygienic conditions and
general welfare of the skilled workman
and his family in every part of the en-
pire. Since 1912 the Prussiap govern
ment has expended about $4,000, 900 in
dwelling houses for the coal miners in
the district Of Saarbrucken and the min
ers repay the loan by monthly install
ments without interest. Similar meth
DDS were adopted with success by the
royal munition factory at Spandau The
building societies of Gladbach, Barmen
Dresden and other cities of the empire
have also proved successful in that re-
spect. The Krupp establishment at Es-
sen takes the lead in providing COM
Portable houses and cottages for the la
boring classes. In 1901 the value of the
dwellings used exclusively by its work
men was $3,875,000. There were i 600
houses OF two rooms each, ] 1869 houses
of three rooms each, 448 houses of four
rooms each, 100 houses of five rooms
each, So houses of six rooms each. and
81 houses of seven rooms each, making a
total Of 4,274 houses. During the past
ten years great Improvement has taxi
en- place in the conditions surrounding
the dwellings Of laborers, and the in
creased attention on the part of munic-
ipal authorities to sanitary arrange
ments and the police laws against too
many persons occupying one room, Com

salutary influence.
