ANXIETY At ST. PETEHSBURG.
The Russian Capital Awaiting News
From the Opposing Armies.

st. Petersburg, June 30,-The whole
city is awaiting with breathle3s in
terest news from the opposing armies
In southern ManChuria, graphing in
the decisive battle of the campaign.
But those fully appreciating the almost
impossible country through which the
japanese columns are advancing and
the difficulty of moving large bodies
OF troops into position, hardly expect
the battle to begin in earnest inside
Of several days although admitting
that heavy fighting between the ad-
vance forces may now be in progress.
The papers, with the exception of the
army organ and the Noyoe Vremya,
are unanimously of the opinion that
pitched battle is now certain The
former Is silent on the subject which
may be significant, especially as Gen,
Kuropatkin's movements are shrouded
In mystery,
The Noyoe Nremya says: "The time
FOR strategy Is passed We are now on
the eve Of tactics, Not knowing the
exact position of our forces, we can
not state what Kuropatkn intends to
do, It is possible he may consider It
untimely and Improbable 10 enter
upon decisive engagement Of all his
forces, In which e,ent, while engaging
the enemy, who Is pouring troops down
upon him. he may retire northward to
meet his reInforcements"
The tone in both public and official
circles has greatly improved The re-
port that the Port Arthpr squadron has
successfully put to sea and that no
ship has actually been sunk seems to
have removed she dependency and de-
volopmonts on land and ea are looked
forward 10 with Increased Cheeriuness,
Confidence Is manifested In the Innu-
ence the navy will have upon the cam.
paign and many people are inclined 10
attribute the Japanese preclpltancy to
get at Kuropatkln to the fact that the
squadron at large threatens the Japan.

VIEWS EXPRESSED ON A
 VARIETY OF LIVE TOPICS

The appeal of the Rev. Quineey Ewing rector of the Church of the Advent, for better support of the free kindergarten came at a time when it is most needed, as it may be said that such appeals are needed all the time. It Is sadly true that many wise people still remain in ignorance of the value of hndergar- ten, and know nothing of it's system. For clergyman in one of the most fashionable pulpits in the city to devote his entire discourse to this subject shows to what extent the free kindergarten has become a part of public education, and as such 1t should receive more co-opera- ton at the hands of the public. MT. EW- ing not only brings out the vast need for free kindergartens but he says 1t Is the wisest charity a community can fos- ter.
 There have been many appeals for the free kindergartens, and those most la miliar with what they have accomplish ed in Birmingham have told and told re- peatedly of the work among the child ren. and all that has been said before on this subject only strengthens the beautiful appeal of MT Ewing. What he has said so forciby and so wise ly IS worthy to live forever, because it is mighty plea for the education of Bir- mingham's children. Certain extracts from his sermon go right 10 the heart of things:
 q believe the free Kindergarten Is
 the best means yet devised for help
 ing the children of any community.
 too young to be enrolled in the pub
 lie schools, who are likely to go
 wrong and stay wrong, unless they
 are started right Try as 1 can, can
 not think of any nobler wiser, charity that any of us could support in be-
 half of the worlds children than the free kindergarten. I believe the good it is capable of doing and Is doing the world over, is quite inealcuable; and with heart mind and soul, say Godspeed to the noble women and
 others who are working In the face
 of difficulties to establish the free
 kindergarten in those sections of our
 city where it is most needed.
 Much as I should like to see free
 public library in Birmingham, and
 lament the lack of it, I should far
 rather know that in every part of
 the city where a free kindergarten
 school is needed such a school was
 in existence, properly equipped and
 supported. than to be assured that
 MT. Carnegie had decided to build
 and equip here the finest public li-
 brary in the south. Start the little
 ones right, and when they get to be grown-ups they will be pretty cer- tain to lay their hands on all the good books they will have time for. and digestion for. Let them start themselves wrong, and the probability is, that when they get to be grown ups no library that MT. Carnegie or any one else could build and equip would hold out to them any real good '
