STRANGE CAT in NATIONAL zoo

bles Texas Wildcat.
Lying peacefully in one corner of
his cage in the National ZOO in Wash
!ington, watching visitors with his lit
tile beady,. ratlike eyes, is the newly
imported African serval a member of
ithe cat family He is one of the first
seen in this country. and gets lot of
attention, both on this account and
because of his grotesque appearance.
{ He resembles the Texas wild cat in
general contour and coloring, but his
markings are more distinct and regu-
lar, and his long, pointed ears are not
,tufted as are those Of his wildcat
brother. The serval has a dog-like
muzzle, which, combined with his
long, dropping whiskers, gives him a
decidedly Chinese cast of counte-
nance. Although not personally beau
Itiful, he seems to have cheerful and
philosophical disposition, and PAGES
up and. down or lies curled I'D near
the bars all day without making a
sound. There is some speculation
among his keepers as to whether, if
he chose, he could new, or howl, or
bark, for so far he hasn't uttered a
single sound.-New York Times.

General Stakelberg's First Siberian
Army Corps. which was reported yes
terday by General Kuropatkin as hav-
ing been cut off TO the westward Of
LisOyanE. has been safely extricated.
General KUropatkin telegraphed at
/. clock saturday evening that the
greater portion Of his army was then
south of Yantai about ten miles north
cast - Liaoysng. and that the other
portion ~ IN was crossing the Taitse
River and taking UP a position on the
right bank. This message. which was
received by the Emperor early on Sun
day morning. threw 4 more hopeful
light on the position Of the Russian
army, and the authorities gave signs Of
relief
There is no attempt. however. to con-
ceal the gravity Of the situation in view
of the absence Of news regarding what
has occurred to-day. II is not clear
from the latest telegrams whether the
Russians are continuing their retreat
or have been compelled 10 face their
foe
The gloomy report telegraphed by
the Russian commander in chief in
the early stages Of the fight of Satur-
day last and his bitter reproaches
against General Stakelberg are attrib-
uted 20 his chagrin over the failure of
his offensive plans.
General KuroDatkin now telegraphs

that his only serious losses were con-
fined 70 Major General Orloff's detach-
ment, which was guarding the left
flank at Yentai. This detachment con-
sisted Of mixed European detachments
and was suddenly attacked by Japan
ese infantry and artillery concealed in
the tall Chinese corn and grass The
Russians seem TO have lost their heads
and TO have retreated precipitately.
The japanese inflicted great slaughter,
one of General Orloff's regiments losing
1900 men.
No details are given Of the escape of
General Stakelberg's corps from the
clutches Of the enemy. but il is believed
that it owes it's safety to the neglect
or the inability of the japanese to fol-
low up their advantage General stalk
eiberg was allowed to cross the river
and come up with the main army in

Of Major General Orloff's detachment
to retreat. This exploit is likely to
cOndone General Stakelberg's disobedi-
ence. but unless the Emperor forgives
him he will have to appear before a
court-martial and probably will lose
his command.
The War Office is able to make the
reassuring statement that the Russian
retreat from Liaoyang did not involve
the loss Of guns and it is also declared
that the abandoned stores at Liaoyang

papa?"
Lord Selwyn was soon there, and she
drew back while the father and son
spoke together. The sun was shining
bright and warm then, the air was full
of music. She went out into the ante
room, aAd left them alone. 1t was
scme minutes before his lordship fol-
lowed her; then he came up to her.
and took her hand in his, his voice
broken with emotion.
After Cod he said, I'VE owe his
life to you, Mrs. Rivers. Let me thank
tou-yet all words fail. The life you
have helped to save is dearer to me a
thousands times than my own"
She barely heard the words, so great
was the tumult in her heart and brain.
What will he say when he knows 4?
What will he say when evening
comes?"
Lord Selwyn thought her dazed
with fatigue, for she made no reply.
He left her; thinking what a splendid
present Rupert should make her when
he grew well.
