tire From the
YaIu River.

ST PETERSBURG, April 10.-The
generally expected attack on Port Ar
thur did not occur last night, although
a telegram received from Grand Duke
Cyril reports that the enemy's ships
were sighted on the horizon. 1t is pre-
sumed that the Japanese were warned
of the extra precautions which had
been taken to guard against surprise.
There was no Easter merry making
at the front. BY special dispensation
the soldiers and sailors there were re-
lieved OF all religious obseryances on
account of the necessities of the mill
tary situation. Vice Admiral Makar-
offs torpedo fiotilla patrolled the open
sea, while the warships, with full
steam up, remained outside Port Ar
thur Elsewhere throughout the thea
ter of war all is reported quiet.
A military official explained to-day
why General Kuropatkins plan Oh
campaign does not contemplate a
heavy resistance of the japanese ad-
vance at the Yalu, saying:
EITHER defeat or victory in battle

egy is based on the idea of victory and
not defeat-success would be fruitless.
We could not follow it up without ex-
posing the army to too great risks. on
account of the Japanese control of the
sea, if we pursued the enemy into the
peninsula of Korea we would open both
f1anks to a possible attack from the
rear. No, the Japanese must come on
to a point in the interior which, with
this end in view, has been selected
where we can follow up a crushing de-
feat to the bitter end, with blow after
blow, and seal the fate of the cam
paign.
Our plans on sea and land will con-
verge at a time next summer when
Vice Admiral Makaroff's s fleet will be re-
lieved by the arrival of reinforcements.
Then, if successful on land, we can
clear the sea of the enemy, cut his
communications and the Japanese in
Korea and Manchuria will be at our
mercy.
THE world must not be impatient
The prelude to this war is not yet fin
ished"
1t is understood that, as a result of
General Kuropatkin's visit to New
chwang, reinforcements of 100000 men
will be sent forward from Liaoyans.
The army organ announces the ap-
pointment of Major General Prince Or
beliani, Circassian nobleman, to the
command of the Caucasian cavalry
brigade, newly raised for service in the

APPEAL FUTILE
FOR MACQUEEN
Anarchist Returns From
England to Serve Sentence
Imposed in New Jersey

NEW YORK. April 1O.-Wiliiam Mac
Queen, the anarchist, who'is under five
years sentence in New Jersey for in
citing the silk trade riots in Patterson
ir June, 1902, arrived to-day on the st.
Paul from Southampton, travelling UNI
der an assumed name. He will sur
render 10 the Sheriff of Passaic County
in order to serve his sentence, from
which he has appealed in vain.
MacQueen left America while under
$4,000 bail. He says that he means, if
possible. to blot out the stain which he
asserts has been unjustly placed on his
name. MacQueen says his connection
with the Patterson riot was misrepre-
sented. that instead of melting the mob
to violence he had used his utmost en-
deavors to pacify the people. He also
denied that he was in any way con-
nected with Bresci, the assassin of
King Humbert of Italy. He admitted
that a movement was on foot in Eng
land to have his case brought to the
attention of the United States Govern
ment with view of mitigating the
sentence or of dismissing the indict-
ment.

GRATEFUL TO THE RUSSIANS.
Japan Appreciates High Honor Paid
Dead Naval Hero.

TOXIC, April 10.-The body of the
Japanese officer which was found and
buried at Port Arthur by the Russians
was unquestionably that of Command
er Hirose, who was killed on March
81 in the second attempt to bottle
Port Arthur. The description of the
uniform tallies with that worn by an
officer of Hirose's rank and the fact
that the head was missing is further
confirmation of the belief that the
body was that of the Japanese COM
mander.
The Japanese Government deeply
appreciates the action of the Russians
in giving the remains military fu-
neral and the officers of the naval staff
have requested the press to express to
the world their appreciation.
The fragments of Hirose's body
which were brought here on April 5
will be given a public funeral on April
IS. The Shinto ceremonial will be per-
formed at the funeral.
Hircse is the greatest hero of the
war; After hostilities are over it is
planned to secure the body inferred
at Port Arthur and bring it to Japan

PARIS, April 10.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Petit Parisienne
cables an interview he had with Ad-
miral Rojestvensky, chief of the gem
eral staff of the navy, in the course OF
which the admiral admitted that he
had been offered and had accepted the
command of the Baltic squadron.
adding that he was not certain
whether the squadron would go
to the Far East The Emperor, the ad-
niral said, desired the squadron to be
ready to sail by July Is next, but this
was considered too hasty movement
in official circles, where it was affirmed
that on the departure of the squadron
a certain complication might arise in
Europe.
Moreover, there will not be work for
seamen in the Far East in September,
for then" said the admiral "the Jap
anese will have conveyed to Korea
sufficient cannon, ammunition and pro-
visions to enable them to carry on a
campaign for many months. The Jap
anese will not hesitate to spend enor-
nous sums for apparently inadequate
results and this proves that they are
sure they can renew their supplies and
ammunition and that they have friends
who will furnish all they need"
Questioned concerning the japanese
tactics, the admiral said:
''Vice Admiral Togo is quite right to
remain faithful to his plan, although
the appearances are against him. We
know from a sure source that he is GER
tain he can repair his vessels and renew
his supplies, even of heavy artillery, If
needful."
Admiral Rojestvensky expressed re-
gret that Russia did not take the in
itiative in attacking, even in sacrific-
ing her fleet, if thereby she crippled
the Japanese navy.

Easter Greetings
From Men at
the Front.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 10.-This
city was to-day en- fete and was given
up to Easter rejoicing. The long Rus
sian feasts, which began after midnight
and continued almost to daylight, were
scarcely ended before the round of
Easter visits commenced. 1t is the
duty of every Russian at Easter to call
upon all his friends and to eat and
drink with them. Open house was
kept everywhere and the latchstring
was out for ALL Theoretically, the
beggar of the streets enters at will the
dining-room of the noble helps him
self to the good things of the table.
This however, is no longer the case in
the metropolis and the larger towns of
the empire, but it is still literally true
in the villages and rural communities,
where no one is refused admittance.
So onerous have official and private
Easter visits become that the Red
Cross Society this year evolved an in
genious means of relief and to benefit
its treasury. by which a subscription
of $50 secures the publication of the
donors name in the Official Messen-
official calls Many eagerly took adj
vantage of the scheme
The masses spent the day in merry
making: the sun shone brightly and
the sidewalks were thrOnged with
promenaders.
The Emperor's sailors and soldiers in
the Far East telegraphed Easter greet
ings to their friends at home, through
the Novoe Vremya, which published in
four columns of small type kilograms
from Port Arthur, Vladivostok, Dalny
Mukden. Harbin and other places, with
the signatures to the dispatches. The
messages breathe the deepest love of
country and afford striking evidence
of the religious bond uniting Russians.
The messages from Port Arthur rep
resent every warship of Importance,
except the flagship Askold, and the
cruiser Pallada. The kilograms are
signed by the captains and other Off
GERS. The kilograms from Vladivostok
were sent by the officers of the cruis-
ers Rurik and Bogatyr.

Lloyd fortunately landed on the.
shingles of the adjoining roof. direct

force that it took the strength of four
men to extricate him from the debris.

ANIMALS AT SCHOOL.
Only an Unkcsnpt, Unconscious Schoo.
and One Entirely Instructive.

Only an Unke,npt, Unconscious School
and One Entirely Instructive.
Is there anything which, without
great violence to language, may be
called school of the woods? In the
sense in which playground is u
school-a playground without rules or
methods or director-there is school
of the woods. 1t is an unkept, an un-
conscious school or gymnasium, and
is entirely instructive. In play the
young ofrall animals, no doubt, get
certain amount Of trimming and disci-
plining that helps fit them for their
future careers; but this school is not
presided over or directed by parents,
though it is sometimes taken part in
by them. 1t is spontaneous and hap
hazard without rule or system; but is,
in every case, along the line of the f,l-
ture struggle for life of the Darticu-
lar bird or animal. A young marsh
hawk which we reared used to play at
striking leaves or bits Of bark with its
talons; kittens play with ball, or a
cob, or q stick. as if 1t We're mouse;
dogs race and wrestle with each other
as in the chase: ducks dive and sport
In the water; doves circle and dive
in the air as, if escaping from hawk;
birds pursue and dodge each other in
the same way; bears wrestle and box;
chickens have mimic battles; colts run
and leap; fawns probably do the same
thing; squirrels play something like
a game of tag in the trees; lambs butt
one another and skip about the rocks;
and so on.
In fact, nearly all play, including
much of that of man, takes the form
Of mock battle, and is to that extent
an education for the future. Among
the carnivora it takes also the form
Of the chase. Its spring and motive
are, OF course, pleasure, and not edu-
cation; herein again revealing the cum
ming of nature-the power that con-
ceals purposes of its own in our most
thouShtless acts. The cat and the kit
ten play with the live mouse, not to in
lulge the sense of cruelty, as some
have supposed. but TO indulge in the
pleasure of the chase and of capture,
and unconsciously to practice this feat
The cat rarely plays with live bird,
because the recapture would be more
difficult, and might fail. What fisher
men would not like to capture his big
be sure of doing it, not from cruelty,
but for the pleasure of practicing his
art?--John Burroughs, in Century.
