4 SCREENING MOVEMENT.
Russian Idea of Japanese Tactics About
 Feng Wang Cheng.

St. Petersburg, June 1-6:40 p. m.-
 The war office has received reports
 showing that the Japanese are falling
 back from Siu Tan (southwest of Feng
 Wang Cheng), and in the meanwhile advancing on Saimatsza (almost due north of Feng Wang Cheng). Both
 movements are taken to indicate the continued desire of the Japanese to screen the operations before Port Ar 1 thur. There is not the slightest foundation for the report that the Russians will abandon their positions east of Hai
 Cheng. General Samsonoff, who is op- erating south of Kai Chou, is under stood to have strong force of troops
 and be likely to harass the Japanese
 outposts.
 As regard sthe operations north of
 Tenge Wang Cheng, the Cossacks have retired from Saimatsza with the addi-
 tional loss of two officers and seven men
 wounded. Saimatsza is now held by a
 strong Japanese garrison.

TRIAL OF SUBMARINES.
Fulton, of the Holland Type, First Un-
 der Examination.


 Newport, R. l., June 1.-The trial board of the U. $. navy, Capt. Charles J. Train, chairman, assembled here to- day for the first trial of submarine boats for which competitive tests con- gress at its last session appropriated SS50. 900.
 The torpedo boat Fulton of the Hol- land type was the craft which engag- cd the attention of the officers, and Captain Train said tonight that the manoevers were entirely satisfactory. The programme kept the submarine busy from ten o'clock in the morning until three o'clock in the afternoon. The weather conditions were unsatis- factory, choppy sea and heavy rain continuing throughout the trial.
 Captain Train distributed his men at points of vantage on shore and on the government gunboat Hist and tug Powhattan. Naval Constructor J. J. Woodward and Commander I. s. K. Reeves were aboard the submarine.
 The Fulton went over the Narragan- sett bay course twice at cruising speed and three times at full speed, the boat being on the surface during these runs. While submerged she was sent over the course three times and covered the same distance awash and ready to dive. She was also tested on quick turns and made ten dives. An observer stated that one of these dives carried the boat to a depth of twenty feet in twelve seconds.
 Captain Train tonight declined to give out any figures taken during the tests, but said that both the gasolene and electric engines of the boat were used with satisfactory results. The trials probably will not be concluded before the end of the week.

BRITISH MINISTER HELPING.
Co-operating With French Diplomat to
 Secure Release of American.

Secure Release of American.
 London, June 1.-The Associated Press learns that the British minister at Tangier is cooperating with the French minister in the endeavor to se- cure the release of Messrs. Perdicaris and Varley. There is no intention at present to send a British fleet or squadron to Tangier. Spain is fully in formed of the course of action being pursued. At both the foreign office and Spanish embassy a representative of the Associated Press was informed that Spain fully concurs with the British land American action in utilizing French intervention. By this means it lis though here that the sultan of Mo- |rocco will be enabled to bring such pressure to bear on Raisuli, the bandit chief. as to compel him to release his Icaptivas without necessitating the fore ible intervention of either of the na- ltions to which the captives belong.

for ProhibitiOn-His Suggestion to
 Delay Nomination Until After Demo
 crats Chose Man Not Acceptable.
 Chicago, June 1-Oiiver W. Stewart, chairman of the national prohibition committee said to-day:
 General Miles would without doubt be nominated by the prohib- itionists at Indianapolis June 29 if he were known to be identified with the prohibition party. His record in op- position to the army canteen is one of which prohibitionists are proud. They confess a great admiration for him. If he were to state publicly that in the coming campaign as a patriotic citizen he would affiliate with the prohibition party and support its ticket, my judg- ment is that there would be no other name proposed in the national conven- tion. However, General Miles has made no public statement to the effect that he intends to cooperate with the prohibition party. He has suggested that we postpone our national conven- tion until after the democratic gather ing at St. Louis on the ground that | .4 possibly the democrats may take such action as will make the nomination of a prohibitionist unnecessary. This is wholly unsatisfactory to the rank and file of the prohibition party. We are confident the democrats will make no such move and propose to go ahead with our own convention and make our nomination. Since General Miles is not with us to the extent at least of being willing to make an open public statement to that effect, it has become the settled conviction of most thought ful prohibitionists that we must look elsewhere for our candidate. The pros- pect is that the convention at Indian
 apolis will be more largely attended than any gathering that has ever been held by the prohibition party"

RAILROAD DISASTERS.

Almost daily disasters on the rail.
roads Of the country suggests the re-
hectlon that American people are woe
fully reckless of human life. Trains
smash into each other, kill fifty or a
hundred men and women, a wrecking
crew is hurried TO the scene, and 10
a few hours the debris is cleared aWsy
and everything is running merrily as
If nothing had happened, The news
papers chronicle these events 10 big
black letters and the people read
them as they do the accounts OF base
ball games, rarely indulging any more
serious reflection than a comparison
Of the size Of today's disaster with
that Of Yesterday.
Yet a railroad disaster is generally
little more than wholesale murder,
the absence Of malice being fully Off
set by the absence of care and sense
of responsibility. These disasters
are not primarily the railroads fault,
10 the final analysis they are the
peoples fault. Public sentiment
upon this subject is not clear and in
sistent. The people are more inter
ested today in requiring the railroads
by constitutional amendment to fur
nish free transportation to public
officials than in requiring safe trans
portation for those who pay their
fare. We have no thought of enforc-
ing reasonable hours for train hands,
dispatchers and telegraphers. 1t often
transpires in investigating the cases
Of disasters that train crews, espec
tally freight crews, have been on duty
from twenty hours to forty hours
without sleep and sometimes almost
without food.
And then, too, there are too many
children Ia the railroad service.
Mere boys are entrusted with vast
responsibilities Of which they have
no sense whatever-rcsponsibilities
which inspire 10 them inordinate
conceits OF personal importance with
out the least corresponding sense of
moral accountability, This is true
OF all branches Of business in Amer
lea, but nowhere so universally
true as 10 the RAILROAD service, and
nowhere does it lead to such dlsas.
trous results Youth is worshiped in
America with an un wholesome aud
discriminating alteration. We elect
boys to public Office and intrust them
with the interests Of vast businesses.
We dout prudence and discretion,
and magnify Initiative and motive
force.
