London, England. Several dispatches
confirm the reports Of the defeat Of
the Russians at Tashichae. but none
Of them is Official and many are vi
tiated as coming from Chinese sources.
The most reliable message seems to be
one to the Telegraph from Liaoyang,
which must have been passed BY the
Russian censor. 1t says:
'sTashichao has been definitely evac-
uated. A severe engagement has been
fought. apparently with the object Of
holding back Japanese flank move
ment on Liaoyang."
According to reports from New
chwang, Shanghai and Iientsin there
had been fighting daily, eliminating
in Russian rout.
The Russians resumed operations, at
lacking the japanese position on the
heights east of Tashichao. Several
Russian batteries checked the advance
of the Japanese left flank from Tap
ingshan for some hours, but the Jap
anese eventually, after q fierce fight,
captured the village of Nanghudituen,
two miles from Tapingshan, compell
ing the Russians to retire to Tieng
huaituen, six miles from their base.
They were then reinforced and re-
opened fire with two batteries, main
tanning their position until o'clock

right flank suddenly appeared on the
hills southeast of Tashichao and by a
tremendous fire compelled the Rus

General Kouropatlzin had ordered
them to hold their ground at all costs,

The heat throughout the day was in

RESTORING FABRICS.

BY spreading thick paste or butter
milk and salt over the stained portion
and laying in the sun for a day. Re-
new the paste every four hours and re-
peat the next day. if necessary. Soft
soap and powdered chalk are also ef-
fectual. Ink spots are removed by va
rious things, according to the nature
of the ink. Old-fashioned ink made of
tannate Of iron could be removed by
immersing in sweet milk until it
soured. The writing fluids now used
are generally aniline inks and require
much more heroic treatment.

The Vladivostok squadron also cap

The two vessels were sent to Vladi-

agent here for the Knight Commander.
London, England.-The sinking Of

the Malacca in the Red Sea. The act
Is condemned as an extraordinary and
intolerable breach of international law,
which has not had precedent in near
~ century.
The Morning Post regards it as an
act Of war, and asks sarcastically why
Great Britain l5eeps her navy on
"two-Power standard" and what the
British Government is for.
The Standard insists that the incl
dent cannot pass without the strongest
remonstrances and demand for full
reparation. 1t says that the situation
is still exceedingly grave, and if it
continues unchanged it may involve
Russia in a serious addition to her
present embarrassments.
Prime Minister Balfour's cautious re-
plies to questions in the House OF
Commons hardly tend to allay the ma
tional disquietude. They suggest that
the verbal assurances given that the
British demands anent the Malacca
would be complied with have not yet
been followed by the acts necessary to
give effect to the assurances, while his
extremely circumspect language in
dealing with other aspects of the
Russian treatment of British ship
ping shows clearly that the great
anxiety which Mr.. Balfour said the
Government was experiencing is in
no wise imaginative.

STRIKERS BLOW UP STREET CAR
Five Hurt in Houston, Texas This
the Fifth Outrage.

Lie ~ I'LL O0tkdSCs
New Orleans, La. - Another street
car has been blown up at Houston,
Texas, by dynamite. This is the fifth
and most serious since the strike of
the street car operatives began. The
explosion occurred at midnight.
The force of the explosion was chiefly
felt on the rear Of the car, which was
crowded with passengers, five of whom
were injured by the flying glass and
spiinters.
Among the injured is Mrs. G. B.
Quailes, who was returning home from
an entertainment with her husband
The explosion seemed to occur directly
ander the seat upon which she was Sit
ling.
A. J. Smith, another passenger, was
badly cut about the head and inter-
nally injured In the previous explo-
sions the wounds inflicted were in all
except one instance slight, and the dy-
namiters this time seem to have mis-
calculated the quantity Of dynamite
they used.
Two heavy charges Of dynamite
were found on the car tracks, where
they had been put during the night,
but had failed to explode. The citi-
Eens' alliance movement which has
been fighting the strike is very strong.
It is proposed to organize law and or
Ter league as an adjunct of the al
lance to deal with the dynamiters.

CARE OF FLOORS.

Parquet and hard wood floors should
not be scrubbed; instead, every morn-

where the footsteps have left mark,
with a soft, damp (but not weD cloth,
rubbing it up afterward with light
" oiled rag, using only very little
linseed oil If there is much traffic. as
there usually is in the hall, it is best
to have a rug or runner placed where

protect the floor. otherwise it would
be required to be polished every day
to keep it in perfect condition.
