SAY THEY WILL FIGHT.
Plans Of Russian Ships at Port
Arthur.

st. Petersburg, June a. p. NJ
It can safely, be predicted that the
Russian squadron at Port Arthur will
not wait until the last moment be-
fore going out. The admiralty seems
to entertain no fear if the situation
becomes desperate, that the squadron
will be caught like a rat in a trap.
Rear-Admiral Ritzeof's dispatch,
given out yesterday, gave assurances
on this point.
A portion, which has not been made
public, said that every ship, except the
Pobedia, was now ready to go to sea
at a moments notice, and that the
channel was clear. He confirmed the
belief which existed here that the
Japanese will continue their efforts
to block the channel before the decis'
i've moment to storm the fortress on
the land side, and have made plans
accordingly.
In the opinion of the most compe
tent military critics, the land FORTH
cations must be preached before
general assault can be risked, ant
this is not considered possible in less
than 10 weeks.

A Japanese War story.

Lafcadio Hearn, the American writ
er resident in Japan, said in a recent
letter apropos of the Japanese war:
my friends here have no fear of
Russia. The thought of war eXcites
them to pleasant laughter. Over our

ance Mutsu told a Japanese war story
that you may think interesting.

study Of protoxonn Parasites.

The discoveries of the protOzoan par
asites Of malaria, smallpox, scarlet fe-
YER and yellow fever should stimulate
Psychologists and biologists to a renew
ed study of other diseases In which the
specific causes are unknown. SUCH
study must lead to the further relief
of human suffering. for as vaccination
produces some slight change which
makes the system unsuitable for
growth of the smallpox organism or
as warfare on the mosquito limits the
spread of yellow fever and malaria, so
preventive or remedial measures will
follow future observations and discov-
cries, and it is not too utopian to be-
lieve that before long some compara-
lively simple means may be found 10

ure. Tells Of Deaths Approach.
With intense interest the members
of the medical profession have been
discussing the remarkable record left
for science by the late Dr.. Stephen
Paul Truck Of New York, who. when
stricken down by an attack of acute
| dilation of the heart, calmly described
to his fellow physicians the sensations
| of approaching death, says the New
York Journal. Until death sealed his
lips forever, ten minutes after he reel
ed from the side Of a patient upon
whom he had been performing an op-
Grafton, DR.. Truck, although suffering
terrible agony, continued to portray the
feeling of a victim of heart failure
caused by extreme dilation.
DR.. Truck was called from his home
the other day to perform On operation
in Bushwick hospital, Brooklyn. He
complained of being greatly fatigued
and of suffering from grip. Fol thir-
ty minutes he worked over b patient
and had almost completed a successful
operation when he reeled from the side
of the operating table, dropped the

man HERMAN. He was carried out of
the operating room into the bedroom
of DR.. HERMAN. There he was un-
dressed and placed upon the bed. Slim
ulants were administered by DR.. Her
riman, and within five minutes DR..
Truck opened his eyes and whispered:
"There is no use trying to save me.
I am dying. my friends, from acute
dilation Of the heart. Listen, Dr.. Her
riman, and l will give you my sensa-
TONS"
Then as DR.. Herman and Miss Ell
lingson listened to the dying man he
said:
my body feels like a wave upon the
ocean. 1t seems to be rising and pitch

Ny heart seems pounding against its
walls. My heart is bursting. My lungs
feel as if they were being pressed to

HOSPITAL OF INSANE ASYLUM is
Quilted.
PATIENTS ARE NOT INJURED
Defective FIue Held Responsible for
Disaster-Loss Covered by
Insurance.

Anaconda, Mont, June 2.-The tine,
new hospital building OF the insane
asylum at Warm Springs, erected at
a cost of $4,000, caught fire, presum-
ably from a defective f1ue, at 3:45
o'clock this afternoon, and was prac-
tically guttea.
Only the walls are standing.
There were $50 patients in the
building, but all escaped without in
jury.
The loss is covered by insurance.
At 4 o'clock aid was asked from
the Anaconda fire department, and
Mayor Frinke ordered the big fire en-
CINE taken to the springs.
Fire Chief Mentrum and Fireman
Joseph Long took the engine there,
four horses being required to draw it.
Aid was also secured from the Deer
Lodge fire department.
Doctor O. Y. Warren was in Butte
when the fire started. He was at
once notified and arrived at the
springs as quickly as possible.
AT about 8 O'Clock this evening
Doctor Warren stated that the danger
from a general cont1agration was
over, and that he would be able to
definitely estimate the loss in a few
days.
The fire departments rendered ef-
ficient service and remained some
time after the fire had been extin-
guished to cool the heated walls.
The news created deep interest in
this city. The smoke could be plain
ly seen from here. The hospital build
ing's isolation from the other struc'
lures is responsible for the saving Of
the other property.
When the report of the fire was
first received in the city it was com
municated to Doctor Spellman, ant
he at once called up the springs tt
learn the particulars. He then mott
fed Mayor Frinke that assistance wa
needed.
