WHAT TEA DOES TO

When you next take tea. think of this
Tea contains 175 grains Of Uric Acid

rheumatism is Uric Acid in the blood
Uric Acid accumulates from food when
the digestive apparatus cannot create
enough Alkaline elements (lfke soda) TO
neutralize it.

That Urea enters the blood when Aka
line action has not previously dis
solved it.
BY and by the waste matter reaches
the joints and muscles. through circula-
tion of the blood
There it gradually deposits in solia
PARTICLES like granulated sugar.
These solid particles grind between
the joints and muscles at every move
ment.
This grinding causes irritation ana
pain.
These in turn may develop inf1amma-
tion and swelling. That Inflammation
bestirs Nature to help herself.
She proceeds to coat the hard Uric par
ticles over with cushions of pulpy mu-
cous. like the first healing strata of an
outer sore.
This pulpy covering grows to ths
ed. There it hardens like plaster or
sealing wax. Then we have "bOny

CHICAGO, April 5.-A special cable
dispatch, dated Tientsin, received to-
day by the Daily News from Richard
H. Little, staff correspondent of the
News, says:
while the Daily News dispatch
boat Fawan has been permitted by the
Russians to depart from the harbor of
Newchwang, the Muscovites thus far
failed to release from prison our two
japanese servants. The lives of these
inoffensive persons may even be in
danger
The Fawan left Chefu last week and
at that time it was not known there
that the Russians had proclaimed
martial law at Newchwang, which was
supposed to be a neutral port that was
free to all comers. Mr.. Washburn and
myself were greatly astonished. there
fore, when, on arriving at the bar of
Newchwang harbor, the Fawan was
seized by the Russian officials. who
came out to us in a steam launch.
The muster Of our crew revealed the
presence of two Japanese which
caused great excitement among our
captors.
Our offer to retire Immediately was
declined and soldiers with fixed bayo-
nets soon boarded the vessel, seized the
servants and dragged them from the
ship, defying the protection of the
British flag, under which it sailed. be-
ing of British ownership. The arrest
was made at the mouth of the harbor,
which is not recognized by Great Brit
ain and the United States as belonging
to Russia.
'On the Fawan's arrival at an an
chorage, marines were placed on board
and the captain was informed that the
forts would fire upon the vessel and
destroy it if any attempt should be
made to leave the harbor. During the
examination of the Japanese servants
the British Consul remained apathetic,
though he said the servants probably
would be executed. On being pressed
to render assistance, he declined to do
anything, even when put in possession
of all the facts.
THE excitement among the Russians
continued, as they insisted that we
were in sympathy with japan and had
brought to the harbor Japanese officers
disguised as servants, previous to an
attack by Admiral Togo's fleet.
Mr.. Washburn and myself were
placed under arrest and only the vigor-
Gus protests of United States Con-
sui Miller, who was very active in our
behalf and very kind, prevented US
from being sent to some prison in the
interior. When Consul Miller secured
our release on Sunday we expected
that our servants would be released
also, but the Russians have not yet
yielded to the protests made against
the Imprisonment of the two harmless
japanese"

ADVANCE OF JAPANESE.
First Army Is Moving Toward Win
by Three Routes.


SEOUL, Korea April /, via Shang-
hal. April 5.--The first army, con-
sisting of $4,000 men, including the
Twelfth divisions, which had been
concentrated at Anju, is moving on
Wiju by three routes. 1t was the ad-
vance guard. composed of $50 infan-
try and cavalry. which repulsed 500
Russians and occupied Chongju, sixty
five miles southeast of Win, on March
%. Lieutenant Kato and four Japan
ese were killed on that occasion and
Captain Kurowaka and eleven men
seriously wounded. The Russians had
tep men killed.
Small infantry garrisons, with hos
pitals, ETC., make Pingyang the pri-
mary and Chenampho the secondary
base. Supplies are being landed at
Haiju and Chenampho and are also
being taken by junks up the Cheng-
cheng River to Anju. The horses,
$500 to division, were landed in bad
condition. The necessity for leading
each horse reduces the strength of the
fighting force. Many of the soldiers
are suffering from the effects of frozen
feet.
The Japanese are fortifying Fusan,
Southern Korea, and Konje Island, off
the southern coast, to defend Masam-
pho. The Russians overestimated the
strength of the japanese force at
Anju and consequently retreated with
out making use of the natural advant-
ages of the country to oppose the Jap
anese advance.
There are persistent rumors here
Of the landing of japanese troops on
the Liaotung Peninsula and in the
vicinity of Newchwang.

Chinese in Manchurla

ST. PETERSBURG, April "a
correspondent at Port Arthur, who re-
turned to the fortress yesterday from
an inspection trip through southern
Manchuria, telegraphs that the coun-
try is strikingly full of an unusual and
active life; that the troops are vigor-
Gus and healthy and animated by de-
sire for active operations, and that the
entire native population including
that of the commercial world. is
friendly to Russia and full of faith in
the Russian arms. The correspon-
dent says:
Russian money, which was shaky
at the beginning of the war, is again
firm. The Chinese volunteer militia
formed here presents good appear
ance, wearing a special uniform with
epaulettes bearing the Russian ma
tional flag. The natives provide pro-
visions freely and are selling horses
brought from the surrounding coun-
try. The Mandarins are an exception
to this general rule, as they are eau
tious and are trying to carry water
on both shoulders. AS their conduct
is passive it does the Russians no
harm.
The railroad holds out splendidly
and works regularly, all the attaches
being imbued with the high import
ance of their task. Sentries are posted
at the boundary and are doing duty
in the neutral zone dividing China
and Manchuria. The weather is warm
and the rivers are open. In Port Ar

Cossacks in the Oren-

ST. PETERSBURG, April 5.-GeneraI
Plug telegraphs from Mukden under
yesterdays date, denying the reports
of japanese operations in Manchuria
and stating that there are no Japanese
troops in Manchuria.
The statement by Captain Stepanoff,
an officer formerly attached to the Va
riag, at Odessa on April regarding
the action of the commander of the
United States gunboat Vicksburg at
Chemulpo was reprinted here to-day.
1t is believed the statement will put
an end to the discussion Of the incl
dent, which has been the cause of so
much irritation in Russia. The Zei-
tung says:
Captain Stepanoff has done well to
explain the truth. 1t has never been
to Russias interest to make enemies,
although foolish chauvinism often has
done so. Russia has every reason to
express her sincere thanks and recog-
milton for the humane and noble bear
ing of every power represented at Che
mulpo"
Captain Stepanoff, in the statement
referred to, said:
toned at Chemulpo her captain held
aloof; he took no part in the confer
ences of protest preceding the fight, for
the simple reason that he was not in
vited to do so. After the fight, like the
others, he sent a surgeon with boat
to the rescue. AS regards his not TAX
ing Russian seamen aboard the Vicks-
burg, this was unnecessary, and it is
more than probable that Captain Rudi-
neff commanding the Varaig, did not
ask it,
RECEPTION TO CREWS,
Great preparations are being made
at ST Petersburg for the reception of
the crews of the Varaig and Korietz.
The Council has voted $500 for their
entertainment. Scholarships will be
found for the children of the officers.
Lieutenant Colonel Froloff, who has
been acting chief of the general staff
since General Sakharoffs appointment
as War Minister, has been granted the
rights and privileges of an Assistant
Secretary of State by the Emperor.
This may foreshadow his permanent
appointment.
General Sakharoff announces that the
Orenburg Cossacks will be allowed $29
each for the purchase of horses. This
measure indicates the mobilization Of
the Cossacks in the Orenburg prov
ince in case of necessity.

Liaoyang forwards a description of
