At Port Arthur.

Mukden. Dec. 6.-There Is q per-
sistent rumor that the 6orce Of Japa'
nese sent to turn General Rennen-
kampff's flank has been repulsed with
great loss. The story is not yet ON
cially confirmed, but details are given
with great circumstantiality. 1t ts
stated that General Rennenkamph,
who knew the movement was matur'
ing, awaited the Japanese at the mouth
of one of the passes and that the Japa-
nese turning force threw themselves
unsuspectingly into the ambuscade,
where after the fight, the Russians col
lected 500 Japanese corpses. 1t Is
added that there are 1000 more Japa-
nese corpses which it had been i'm
possible to collect, owing to the fire
OF the japanese. This does not In
clude the Japanese loss in wounded.
The Russian loss, according to this &C.
count, was only 80 or 40 men.
A four-day artillery duel on the
Russian right and center has failed
to alter the situation. There is much
sickness among the Russian troops
caused by the close confinement to the
trenches and the bomb proofs and the
continuous nervous strain.

came out for food. One evening | saw
Il mouse come out of the cupboard.
lie found Il hickory nut Oh the floor
twelve inches to the hole in the plaster,
/ but, alas, the crack between the laths
was too narrow, and after fumbling
with his burden for Il minute or two
he dropped it TO the floor. Next he
tried TO push 1t in ahead of him. and,
failing in that, he went in himself,
turned round and attempted 10 pull it
i'll after him. Occasionally il would
slip out of his paws and roll upon the
kitchen floor, and then out he would
come ard repeat the whole perform
ance. He tried 1t again and again. bur
with no better success. He kept ut il
until far into the night, and wLcH ]
awoke ut o'clock the next morning
the first thing that l heard was that

dropping the hickory nut.
Since then / have kept them well
supplied with nuts. and, although they
still spend hours in carrying them 10
the crack in the laths and letting them
fall, they are always forced in the end
to rat them in the cupboard. There Is
plainly lack of ingenuity, because ten
minutes gnawing would have solved
the problem. Had the aperture in
either case been too narrow to admit
themselves they would have quickly
widened it with their teeth, but to up-
ply the same principle to get the nut
through seemed TO be a piece of real
soning entirely beyond them.

4 DiSRAELl EPISODE.
How III" Statesman Took His brandy
Ncat@n the Conmons.


Nca;0n the Commons.
maS stationed in London nearly two
wears during the seventies. when Dis
raeli was prime minister. and often
ieard Him speak. frequently saw him
upon Whitehall, walking home with
Lord Russell by his side. once Inter
viewed him and witnessed the So
dom. But the most characteristic and
thoroughly Disraelian incident | recall
has never been told.
About l O'Clock in the morning, short
~ after the return of the earl from
Berlin bearing peace with honor" I
left the press gallery of the house to
go TO the cable Office. Passing a stand
in the lobby where stoop shouldered
woman was wont TO sell spirits and
soft" drinks, dropped into line with
half q dnZe,! men and waited my turn
to he served. l paid no attention to the
Inan directly in front of me except to
notice that lie was hatless and to CON-
mcht mentally upon the dangers of
such conduct in that cold and drafty
place.
"Sixpenny 'orth O. brandy, neat"
said the broad shouldered little man
directly ahead. The dame cou tested,
an unusual attention to a customer,
served the spirits, and the purchaser
drained the glass at gulp.
Put it on the book" said the Gus
toner as he replaced the glass upon
the counter Then he turned. facing
me, and made his way through the
crowd toward the house of lords. The
man was unnoticed in the badly light
cd corridor, although his name was
ringing throughout the civilized world,
the Earl OF Beaconsf1eld!
The interesting feature of this cpl
sode was not that his lordship took
drink of brandy during q long nights
session. but that he had an account
with the woman tapkeeper and from
sheer force Of habit had walked over
to the commons end Of Westminster
palace to get his brandy neat" at the
familiar place.-Julius Chambers in

HISTORY OF THE COACH.
The First of These Vehicles Was
built In 1887.

The First of These Vehicles Was
built In 1857.
As popular as coaching is In some
parts of the country. but little reliable
information has ever appeared in the
public press respecting lis history and
development. At the town Of kotZe. in
Hungary, in 1857. the first coach was
constructed. This was soon afterward
presented to Charles VII. at Paris. The
first authentic record Of a stagecoach
in England shows that six of such
vehicles were in use there in 1852. So
popular did they become in that coun-
try that few years later they were in
general use On all the principal roads
of the kingdom.
Steam railways have to a large OK
tent done away with the use of the
coach as link in the commercial chain,
but as n means of furnishing the high
est type of recreation the coach and
four is as popular today in the British
empire and in France as it was when
this was practically the only means Of
locomotion in those countries.
Stagecoaching in America was al
most coextensive with the settlement
of the colonies. and in the early history
of the country there were few if any
places of any Importance that did not
welcome the sound of the coachman's
horn az one Of the fascinating incidents
of pioneer life. As civilization pushed
itself westward the stagecoach was
ever in the lead of those agencies which
blazed its pathway. These vehicles, as
well rs their equipments, were COM
paratively crude in their construction
and rnpretentious in their appoint
ments, but they admirably served the
purpose for which they were intended
and laid the foundation for the popu-
larity of codching rs pleasurable pas
time developed in later years.
Coaching parties had been popular in
England and France for several gencr-
atoms before they were introduced in
this country, yet the sport is so whole
some and enjoyable that it cannot be
doubted that in time it will become as
popular here as it Is across the Allan
tic.-Illustrated Sporting News.
