WASHINGTON-Chekib Bey, the

are that the imperial government is
fulfilling to the letter it's pledges, tho
reforms are being vigorously inaugu

OF the Balkans situation Cheiib
Bey, who has had considerable eXpe

strife in Macedonia and doing every

truth, reiterated.

OF the famous food that perhaps it
might help him. The sick man took

to get well, In writing he says:

RUSSIAN VICTORY
CLAIM MADE THAT JAPANESE
VESSELS HAVE BEEN SUNK.
REPORTS, HOWEVER, CONFLICT
Rumors Of Victory Spread Far and
Wide over ST. Petersburg andCause
Much Excitement-A Japanese Ruse
Which the Russians Overcome.

ST. PETERSBURG.-R of a
Russian victory at Port Arthur were
current late Wednesday afternoon and
early in the evening and about mid.
night they seemed to have been defn-
itely confirmed but in the absence
of an official announcement, which is
momentarily expected. the stories of
the dimensions of this victory were
most conflicting and confusing in
character. The most circumstantial
report was that the Japanese had at
tempted to bottle up Admiral StarNs
fleet in Port Arthur by sinking two
stone-laden vessels at the entrance of
the harbor. employing the tactics
which were considered. but not eN-
ecuted by the late Admiral Sampson,
United States navy, with the Mer-
rimac at Santiago during the Span
ish-American war. According TO this
account two Japanese ships appeared
off the harhor with Japanese fleet
behind them and ostensibly in pur-
suit The Russians, however, suspect
ed ruse and their ships steamed out
sank the stone laden vessels, engaged
and defeated the enemy and drove
them off The reports of the loss in
hicted, however, are conflicting.
All the stories include the feature
of the vessels loaded with stones, but
according to some versions the Japan
csc fleet was conveying transports
with the purpose of effecting d land
ing at Pigeon bay, and after the fail
IRE OF this preliminary maneuver, the
Russians played havoc with both the
japanese warships and the transports,
sinking four of the former and two of
the latter.
One account even gives the name OF
the battleship RetviZen as the vessel
which particularly distinguished her
self by ramming and sinking one OF
the Japanese ships.
Rumors of this victory spread far
and wide over the city during the
early part of the evening and the
crowds which had gathered in the
streets in spite of the severe cold
to discuss the news were greatly en-
cited. One newspaper printed an eX-
ira relating the victory based on a
meager telegram from London, but as
the night wore on without official in
formation, the crowds dispersed ex-
cept from around the newspaper of
fees. These remained thronged with
officers and others who were resolved
to await the official announcement.
LONDON.-A dispatch to the Cen
trail News from st. Petersburg gives
another version of the reported Japan
csc defeat at Port Arthur, according
to which the Japanese planned to sink
some barges in the strait leading TO
the inner harbor of Port Arthur thus
blocking the exit. The Russian gun
fire sank the barges before they ar
rived at the intended spot.

Red Heads Seldom Bald.

Red headed people are less subject
to badness than others. A doctor
explains the matter thus: The hair
Of the red headed is relatively thick,
one red hair being almost as thick as
five fair or three brown hairs. With
10000 red hairs the scalp is well
matched, whereas with the same
number of fair hairs, one is compar-
atively bald. 1t takes nearly 10000
fair and 10000 brown hairs to cover
adequately an ordinary head.
