Japanese merchants are extending
their efforts in the manufacture and
export of teas, and it is possible that
this may be done somewhat in the
spirit Of rivalry, but it must be con-
coded that without the aid Of resident
foreigners engaged in the tea trade
Japanese teas would never have been
introduced abroad to any considerable
extent; neither would it's present for
eign export be maintained. The same
may be said in the case Of mattings
and other japanese exports.

Certain it is that primitive races
have much keener sense of smell
than the members of a highly civilized
race. With civilization and the art of
living in an artificial manner, from dis
use the senses of sight and smell be-
come less acute. The Japanese have
not embraced civilization for so long
period as to lose the qualities of a
people living in a state of nature.
Their sense of smell is very acute.

Many Obstacles to Overcome Before

st. Petersburg, July 81, S:4S a. m.-
In view of the rumors of the storming
and fall of Port Arthur the general
staff authorizes the Associated Press
to declare positively that not a single
position forming a part of the land de-
fenses of Port Artuhr has yet fallen
into the enemys hands, and that the
besiegers are nowhere nearer than
eight or ten miles to the fortress.
The general staff also declares that
the bombardments reported July 26, 27
and 2S were nothing more than prelim-
inaries to an attempt to capture one of
the outer positions, probably Lunvan-
tan, to the east
If the japanese shall succeed in TAX
ing one of these positions they will
have to bring up siege guns under a
f1anking fire from the adjoining posi-
tions, and from cruisers sent out for
this purpose.
If this task proves possible, then on
ly will the Japanese be able to bonn
bard the fortress itself. and prepare for
the final assault, and it is easy to see
what long, dangerous and difficult
operation lies before them.

made with Great Britain. according
to which no more merchantmen were
to be arrested by the volunteer fleet
steamers.
The vessels will probably be recon-
missioned before doing further active
service. The attitude of Russia
throughout has evidenced a desire to
avoid friction over the status of the
volunteer fleet steamers as far as pos
sibie, and the authorities have prom
ised that the whole question of search
and sinking shall be speedily cleared up
by an official statement, but this has

the young man who was found yester-
day in Central Park with bullet
wound in his breast, and who refused
to give his name to the police. was
established to-day by the cashier of
the New Amsterdam National Bank,
where the young man was employed.
The cashier said that his name was
Samuel G. Dana, and that he had been
employed as a clerk in a minor posi-
ton in the bank for a year and
half
The cashier said Dana was well
recommended and his service had al
ways been excellent. He knew nothing
of Dana's acquaintance with Mrs.
Dignon, nor did he have any idea as
to what motive the young man may
have had for suicide, if such is the
explanation of the shooting.
Later in the day, it was said that
young Dana's home is in Waco, Tex,
where his family is prominent.

STREAM OF VISITORS
T0SEE JUDGE PARKER
Preparation of His Speech of Accep-

tAnce seriously lnNerfered with.
Esopus, N. Y, July S0.-Many visit
ors were entertained to-day at the
home of the Democratic presidential
candidate.
The first arrival was George Foster
Peabody of New York. He left at 2
o'clock and the same train brought
j. Edward Simmons of New York,
president of the Fourth National Bank
and John Whalen former corporation
counsel in New York.
Mr.. Simmons is prominently men
toned for the treasurership of the
Democratic National Committee, but on
this subject neither he nor Judge Par
ker could be induced to talk. Both
Mr.. Simmons and Mr.. Whalen are
friends of Judge Parker of long stand
ing, and so far as is known the visit
was purely social.
other visitors were representative
Clarence d. VanDuser of Nevada,
Prof. William Haynes of the law de-
partment of Notre Dame University,
South Bend. Ind. and Seaman Miller
of New York, former assistant district
attorney.
Mr.. Peabody's visit was said to have
been of an important political nature.
William F. Sheehan came home from
Long Branch, N. j., tonight. He con-
ferred with Judge Parker for few
minutes, and will see him again to-
morrow. He told the newspaper men
he had no political news.
The stream of visitors has interfered
very seriously with the preparation of
Judge Parker's speech in acceptance
of the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation, to be delivered Aug. 10. The
Judge is scrupulous and painstaking
in the courtesy with which he receives
every visitor and the callers occupy
a great deal of his time.
His care to say in his speech exact
ly what he wants to say and neither
more nor less, makes it seem likely
that the document will not be COM
plete until the close of the day Of its
delivery.
1t is believed that he has not yet be-
gun work on the formal letter of ac-
ceptance which will follow after the
notification ceremony, and in which he
will probably outline, at considerable
length, his position on topics of ma
tional Importance involved in the cam
paign.
A beautiful silver loving cup was
sent down to Rosemount to-day by the
residents on the block in Kingston
where Judge Parker has his voting resi-
dence.
Accompanying the cup was the fol-
lowing letter:
The Pearl street neighbors of Kings
ton, N. Y, present and ask Judge
Parker to accept, the accompanying
love cup as a token of their esteem
for him as a man, citizen and a
friend"
With the note ARE the cards Of the
