 valley admirably suited for an ambus- [ cade. The Russians with one battalion and two guns occupied the hills on one side and placed six guns carefully masked on the road in the valley
 A regiment of Japanese in close order hurried Into the valley and passed be- meath the guns concealed on the heights. Then the guns in the road ahead opened and moved down the ranks of the Jap anese who stood for some time apparently dazed and then broke and fled. They reached a small hill, but this position was untenable, and the Japanese were doomed to destruction whether they advanced or retreated.
 They tried to retreat but were almost wiped out by the Russian battery which had them in the rear A few of the Jap anese succeeded in ascending the hill and hid among the rocks. The Russians ex- pected that the Japanese would be large ly reinforced and so did not remain. The sappers decorated the position with wood en guns before they retired The JApan- csc endorsements arrived In the morning and shelled the dummy battery hereely before they discovered its character.

ANECDOTES or HALL CANE
Was Disappointed Because He Wat
 Not Made Knight.

Stories about Hall Caine the Manx au- thor always show interesting phases of his personality. writes Julius Chambers in Harper's Weekly. The last time saw Sir Gilbert Parker he said:
 T was hurrying along the boulevard in Paris one day, when my progress was arrested by a dense crowd in front of an art shop. Evidently. thought I, there is an extraordinary picture on exhibition. The canvass was a remarkable idealiza- ton of the Saviour-a thin, strongly He- braic face, with closely cropped red hair and beard.
 Suddenly the crowd parted to admit man who approached with bowed head. It was Hall CaineI He stood bef,re the portrait with folded arms. gravely study ing the face and pose of the figure on the canvass. The similarity of the por-- trait to the man standing before It was very striking
 "Caine turned to go but seeing me, came to my side
 I say, did you notice how the crowd parted to admit me?' asked Caine
 I certainly did was the reply.
 And do you see how these people make way for me as I go away?'
 'Assuredly. ]
 They think 1t Is l. was his calm3 matter-of-fact explanation"
 When the king and queen recently vis1 ited the Isle of Man. Hall Caine was ask. ed to drive with them, in order to point out the objects of interest. He appeared to think that the only people of the is- land were the characters in his novel and regaled their majesties with some thing liket his:
 There is the exact spot at which Glo- ry Quayle is first introduced to the reader' Again Donald MacSheaf pass sed through that gateway as he encounter ed the trusty laird from Douglas" And ct another place. Here the blacksmith shod the landlords horse, in the Manx- man" Thus the cscerone continued fos two mortal hours.
 Their majesties were dreadfully bored. King Edward asked to be driven back to town and abandoned sightseeing. When Caine stepped from the carriage he drop ped upon one knee.
 ''Rise, MT. Cainer commanded hia Majesty, according to the story.
 The author got to his feet much cha grinned. He had confidently expected, il is said at Douglastown, to hear words that would create him knight: Rise. Sir Halll''
 Knighthoods had been liberally doled out, and Caine couldn't understand why he had failed to get one.

Ruby Ray For Smallpox.

From Philadelphia Public Ledger, June g. What is called by physicians the ruby ray treatment for smallpox was tried yes- terday at the Municipal Hospital. Direc- tor Martin accompanied by Chief Abbott of the health bureau and Chief Medical inspector Cairns, had previously inspected fin especially constructed pavilion, in which the new treatment will be given
 The roof of this pavilion resembles hothouse, except that the glass Is of ruby color instead of being clear. Some medi- cal authorities, according to Director Mar. tin, contend that the ruby rays have curative effect. Arrangements have been made to accommodate 30 patients in the pavilion Director Martin says that. should the ruby rays prove to be all that it Is promised, more pavilions will be built. Believers in the treatment say that It's greatest virtue Is that 1t oxidizes the smallpox sore. The pavilion Is built in the open air in order that the suns rays may strike 1t at all times of the en- tire day.
 Patients uncovered lie alternately on their faces and backs at given intervals Should Director Martin see that the treat ment Is better than the antiseptic bath method, he will have pavilions with walls roof and floor of ruby glass erected on the new Municipal Hospital grounds In the 33d ward. He also, In that event, will conduct a series of experiments with elec- tric light rays through ruby glass.
 Besides giving their attention to the ruby ray pavilion, Director Martin and his aids inspected the hospital. There are only thirty smallpox patients under treat ment there at present The number, ac- cording to Dr. Martin, is the lowest known in two years. He said that wniie nearly all of them were in the convales- cent state, they would nevertheless be given chance to try the ruby ray treat ment.

NO CHANGE IN THE
 BUILDING STRIKE
WORK IS PROHIBITED ON ALL SCHOOL BUILDINGS, WHICH GAN NOT POSSIBLY BE FINISHED BY SEPTEMBER 1.

New York, August 9.-Aside from an argument among the elevator contractors employed in the Trinity building, the situ- ation in New York building trades lock- out and strike was unchanged today.
 When the elevator constructors reported for work on the Trinity building today, a walking delegate from the Building Trades Alliance appeared. and attempted to call them out.

After a heated argument President Brown decided to have the men question of returning to work.
 Later conferences were held today look ing toward a resumption of work In the subway, where a strike has been in pro- gress for some time.
 The matter of the public schools came up before the board of governors of build ing trades employers association meeting today, and permission was given to pro- ceed with certain necessary repairs on seven Brooklyn schools and one school In tho bronx
 The board decided that In case where a public school cannot possibly be com pleted by September 1. work will not be allowed to proceed pending the settlement of the lockout.

After LandIoeked Salmon.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 The champion landlocked salmon fisher man of New Hampshire Is admitted to be Jacob Hutchinson of Newport. MT Hutch inson has fished Lake Sunapee and Lake Winnipisukee for forty-eight years. He has caught over 1000 landlocked salmon ranging in weight from 10 to 15 pounds.
 The landlocked salmon fisherman angles in a peculiar and interesting way. In a deep mountain lake he selects the deep est place, and here, in 90 or 100 feet of water, he sets out a buoy. July is the salmon month, and at o'clock every July morning he begins to fish. The first thing he does, after tieing up to his buoy, is to slft over the water powdered egg shells as a housewife slfts sugar over a cake. These egg shells descending slowly are supposed to attract the salmon's atten- tion. They sparkle like little silvery fish In the clear water. Now the fisherman baits hook smaller than bent pin with an eighth of an inch of worm. He lowers the hook 80 or 90 feet. In little while he hauls up smelt-a fish as long as his finger, that is the precise color of a new silver dollar. His smelt must be caught fresh every day, for they win not keep they can only live in water of great depth and density.
 With the live smelt he bafts his sai- mon hook. Once more for luck he sifts egg shells over the water Then he be- gins with grave earnestness to fish for salmon. He often catches in the lakes of New Hampshire salmon as big as babies-ish 15 and 20 pounds in weight that fight for three or four hours before they may be landed, dragging his boat in their struggles two or three miles.
 NO use fishin' for salmon in the full O the moon," he always says.
 On being asked why he answers logi- cally: Because in the full O the moon 1t Is so light that the salmon feed all night. Consequently they ain't hungry in the daytime"
