churian Villages.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 31.-Gener-
ell K%uropatkin has telegraphed as fol-
lows:
During a cavalry reconnaissance
after an infantry fight supported by
artillery we have occupied the village
of Chiantsanhenan. The enemy has
retired from Sindiapu. On Oct. % our
chasseurs with insignificant losses re-
tanned a village a kilometer west of
Chenlianpu against a violent japanese
bombardment."
General Kuropatkinn also records
other outpost affairs. including the
Russian ~reoccupation of the village of
Tynsin, II short distance south of
Luidziatung. whence they had been
previously expelled by the japanese,
who burned the village.
A report from The M~anchurian army
headquarters received Mt Tokyo re-
cords a successful night attack against
the Russian outpost at Wumingtsun
and two successful counter attacks
made by the Russians. The report is
as follows:
ION the night of Oct. 90 a small
force of the enemy attacked Waitao
mountain, but were Immediately re-
pulsed. Oct. 20, at 3 O'Clock in the
morning. a detachment of infantry
was dispatched from the center army
against Wumingtsun. The enemy was
surprised, and the houses occupied by
the enemy were set on fire. Winning
tsun is located midway between the
outposts of both armies. Using the
place as n base. the enemy made fire.
quent night attacks against our out
posts. On the night of Oct. % Il force
of the enemy of unknown strength at
tackled an eminence near ~Santaokang-
tzu, but was Immediately repulsed.'
Viceroy Alexeieff is now on the way
to st. Petersburg. The nature of his
reception here is the food for much
speculation. Some of his friends still
cling to the idea that he will be made
chancellor of the empire with his resi-
dence in the Winter palace, where, it
is said, a suit of apartments has al
ready been prepared for him. On the
other hand, many declare that his po-
litical career is practically over and
that his reception at st. Petersburg,
while officially cordial, will mark the
end Of his political ascendency.

Modern Views of Matter.

Condensed into a few words,
these are the "Modern Views of
Natter" as expounded by Sir
Oliver Lodge Electricity is 4
substance, the only kind of sub,
stance, and all matter is merely an
accumulation of electric charges.
1t appears probable that these
electric charges are all of exactly
the same amount, although some
are positive and some negative,
and that the atoms of the chem
zeal elements are formed by vary.
ing numbers and arrangements Of
these charges, or electrons.
There are about 700 electrons, $50
positive and $50 negative, in the
hydrogen atom, which has been so
long regarded as the final and in.
divisible unit of matter; there
must be about 16 times as many in
an oxygen atom; and about 80
times as many, say 100, 1000, in ra-
dunn atom, the heaviest known.

Il was born and reared in the
republic of Mexico, and never yet
have witnessed bullfght," said
Senator L. del Paso, a prominent
and wealthy resident of the Mex
lean capital at the Ebbitt, to d
Washington Post reporter.
"This form OF amusement was
never to my liking, and, though |
have no criticism for those who
60, it cannot be pictured as an en-
tertainment that appeals to PEG
pie of refined taste and humane
feeling. Yet it is a sport that
makes people become, in a way,
deyotees, and the bullfght habit
once cultivated is difficult to
break. have heard Americans
after witnessing their first exhi-
bition declare they would never
go to another, and yet these very
people are apt to become the hab-
itual attendants. Except on rare
occasions our native women do
not attend the fights, but now
and then they 90 when the pro-
ceeds are TO be given to some
charity.
"One of the curious phases of
these performances is the enthu-
siasm with which the crowds start
forth to view it, and the subdued
and melancholy way they leave
when the fight is over. Instead of
the eager looks and murmurs of
expectant pleasure, most of the
spectators return detected and
disguised. The sport rarely comes
up to the anticipation of the pub
lie. The matador erred egregieus-
~ in this point or that, and though
advice was hurled at him on all
sides, he did not profit by it.
Many give vent to their disgust in
angry epithets, and yet next Sun
day finds them at the ring as
usual"

BEANS VERSUS LITERATURE.
Thoreau Liked a Simple Fare--Ham
and Eggs for Byron.

The best that may be said for
Thoreau's regimen Of beans, says
the Atlantic, is not that the
immortal diet was merely whole
some or cheap, or even that it was
Transmitted into delightful liter
ature-but that Thoreau liked it.
He was catering for himself and
to himself. When, Byron came Of
age, he provided the conventional
roast OK and ale for his tenants in
honor of his majority, and then be
took himself to London, where he
dined alone upon his favorite del
icacy, ham and eggs. He catered
for his public at Newstead, and to
himself in town. But the only
editors who permit themselves
such solitary luxury of personal
indulgence are the young men
who own, write and print the
queer little AM magazines with
still queerer names. They give no
hostages to fortune except paper,
printers ink, and time. If you
would seek a better analogy to the
real editorial function, follow
some excellent citizen of Balti-
more, or of a foreign city where
marketing bears as yet no social
stigma, as he journeys to the pub
lie market, with basket upon his
careful arm, intent upon selecting
Ndinner for his family.
