w Clal Ld.
Dear Sir: Lead-and-oil is not good
paint: don't wear: the rule is, as
everyone knows, repaint in three
years.
Devoe lasts six. in the same way
allow wide margin in all such state
ments. What does it mean, to last?
1t means the same with both.
AS to covering: that's another.
Here's an instance.
Mr.. j J Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted
two houses, lead-and-oil; took 90
gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gallons
Devoe for the same two houses: re-
turned 10 gallons.
The paint, that covers, lasts: it's all
paint. true paint, aud full-measure.
Lead and-oil is all paint but not good
paint; the lead wants zinc. Better
paint DeVoe. Yours truly.

vent the repetition Of the MaIacca in
cident in the Red Sea.
Those few officials at the Foreign Of
flee who are in full possession of all
details Of Great Britain's desire to ar
rive at an entente with Russia are in
despair. They realize that the policy
so carefully fostered by King Edward
and Foreign Minister Lansdowne will
now be Indignantly repudiated by all
parties in the House OF Commons and
involve with the public the downfall of
any Ministry advocating it. Every
nerve will be strained, however. by the
Foreign Office to secure from Russia an
explanation that will pacify the ag-
grieved feelings lof the British public
However, there is expressed at the
Foreign Office and elsewhere almost
poignant regret that Russia, rightly or
wrongly, should have taken UP the po-
sition evidenced by the action Of her
volunteer cruisers in the Red Sea-
Lord Lansdowne's policy since the
first whisper of war between Japan and
Russia reached Downing street has
been one Of consistent neutrality The
unlooked-for developments in the Dar-
danelles and in the Red Sea embarrass
Lord GanSdoWne more than the cir
cumstances themselves would indicate.
The Government, weakened by internal
dissensions, could scarcely stand for a
day against a demand for reprisals
against Russia, and this very danger
is being fostered by leading Govern
ment newspapers.
The news that there may be an ami
cable adjustment Of the difficulties as
the result of an interview between En-
peror Nicholas and Count Lamsdorff.
given in the Associated Press dispatch
from St. Petersburg. is not yet known
to the British public and press. If such
an adjustment eventuates it will let
Premier BalfOur's Government out of
one of the most awkward and most
serious crises it has had to face in its
checkered career.

at Queensclif was slightly over to the east
ward OF the high light. the pilot porting the
helm about degrees.
At ! 40 a. Lonsdale light was abeam the
Queensclfn light being nearly in one. At this
time he considered the vessel was on a safe
course and he went to the starboard side Of
the bridge and turned his attention TO OBJ
structions and lights on the starboard side
and heard no further orders given by the pilot
The next thing that attracted his attention
was the close proximity OF land the star
board bow. At that moment seeing the dan
ger the ship was in, he turned around to alter
her course when the ship ran aground. He
further alleges that when handing over the
charge TO Pilot Dennis he did not notice
anything unusual in hfs demeanor or be-
havior and consequently he handed over
the charge of his vessel without any mis-
giving. The first order he heard the. pilot
give after the vessel struck was Full speed
astern." That order he at once countermand-
ed and ordered the engines Slow ahead -
afterward stopping the engines altogether
He spoke to Pilot Dennis Immediately after
the ship bad grounded and Pilot Dennis said
1T Is all my fault He then turned to mat
ters requiring his immediate attention and
saw no more Of Pilot Dennis until some time
afterward when he found him lying in a state
OF collapse on the bridge and he sent the
doctor 10 attend 20 him.

Kuroki IS Moving to Attack
the Headquarters of
Kuropatkin.
specai Cable to The Call
Company

ST. PETERSBURG, Julx 20.-Ac-
cording to the latest information re-
ceived, the battle of Molten Pass was
more serious than at first supposed, the
Russians having had at least 80, 900 men
engaged. Once more victory was won
by the Japanese, owing to their far su-
perior artillery, which cut the gallant
Twenty-fourth Regiment to pieces, and
in the retreat, which reached to Siako-
lima, the Russian losses must have
been great. Up to the moment Of send
ing you this 1 am still without details
as to losses, beyond the fact that they
exceeded 1000
This last action has brought General
Kuroki to within twenty-five miles Of
Liaoyang, which caused a nervous feel
ing to-day. The next move of the jap
anese will be to capture the headquar-
ters Of the chief.

special edition. tonight two days

fighting, yesterday and the day before,
owing to General Kuroki's advancing
in force from Matse along the Lao
yang road. This looks as though the
fears of an attack on Liaoyang are go
ing to be shortly realized.
Foreign critics are asking why Count
Keller was sent to attack the enemy
without knowing it's force. The reply

Russian TOrpedO-Boa at Port Arthur
Makes a Clumsy Mistake.
CHEFU, July 2O.-Two junks with
Chinese on board have arrived from
Port Arthur. The men report that on
Saturday morning the Port Arthur
forts fired on a passing ship. Their
shots were not effective and the vessel
did not stop. A torpedo-boat then
went out and either fired upon the
vessel or discharged a torpedo against
her. Shortly afterward thirty Chinese
and one foreigner, survivors of the
vessel, were brought ashore by the
torpedo-boat. The Chinese say they
recognized the vessel as a merchant
man, and from the efforts made by
the Russians to rescue the survivors
they concluded the torpedo-boat rec
ognized that she was mistaken in hav-
ing attacked the vessel and did every
thing to rectify her error.
