The mu SIC was furnished by Mrs. Brock s
orchestra OF St. Johnsbury, and was
very harmonious and inspiring. The
ball being leap year affair, the ladies
waited on the gentlemen with the
create assiduity. Calico was supposed
to be de rigeur for the occasion, which
seemed to mean any color of bright
summary gowns. Promptly at 9 O'Clock
the grand march began, led by Mr.. and
Mrs. Austin D. Paige and participated
in by about IS couples. Mrs. Austin d.
Page was floor director. Twenty three
dances were on the order. many of which
were heartily encored. About midnight
refreshments were served.
Quite number were present from out
OF town, coming all the way from Coati-
cook to Woodsville. The party broke
up about 3 O'Clock Tuesday morning
and all agreed that socially it was the
greatest success yet. Financially the
receipts will TALL little short of previous
years, owing to the fact that the gallery
was not quite as well filled as usual.
However it is probable that the society
will net about $50, which will be
judiciously expended in identifying the
village. All unite in praising the efficient
work of the women of the Improvement
Society, who did so much to make the
evening success.

RUSSIANS DID SOMETHING.
They Inflicted Little Damage at Least
on Jap Forces.

Mukden, July 26.-The latest reports
received here are to the effect that the
Russians with about 100 guns in action
in the TIA Tche Kiao engagement, in
f1icted serious losses on the Japanese
and destroyed many of their guns. The
Japanese attack on the center of the
Russian position was repulsed, but the
Russians were ordered to retire and oc-
cupy the heights five miles north of Ia
Tche Kiao. This movement was car
ried out in good order.
The Empress hospital train passed
through Mnkden, Monday, bearing 1874
men who We're wounded, Sunday night,
Ia Tche kiaO. The fight which was
mainly an artillery duel, according to
the statements of the men on the train
commenced at 6 o'clock in the morning,
and was still going on at II o'clock at
night when the train left. The Russians
were then maintaining their positions
about seven miles south of Ia Tche
Kiao.
1t is understood that the battle will
be continued.
The result of the fighting thus far is
not known here.
Small bodies of Japanese are reported
to be moving in the direction of Ben
toward Sintsintin. If this is true it in
dicates the intention of the Japanese to
try and turn the Russian position at
Lao Yang from the direction of Muk-
den.

eign Sec. LanSdowne declared that
Great Britain could not in view of her
treaty alliance with Japan allow any
relating to the Dardanelles which
would permit of the free passage of
vessels of the Russian volunteer fleet
from the Black sea to the Mediterran-
can with view of their subsequent
employment for war purposes.
1t has not been generally known that
Lord LansdoWne went so far as to call
Russia's attention to the Japanese
treaty although suggestions have been
printed in British and japanese pa
pers that the action Of the Smolensk
and st. Petersburg in traversing the
Dardarelles has placed Turkey in the
position of giving assistance to Rus
STA and that this made it Great Brit
aims duty to come to the assistance of
her ally
1t is understood that the Russian au-
thOrities gave considerable considera-
ton to this feature of the British re-
presentations and although maintain
ing the British contention to be justi-
fable, determined in the interest of
general peace and order to settle the
question, to waive the rights Russia
claimed for the two volunteer fleet
steamers and not to authorize further
operations on ships of that character.
1t is pointed out that as the places of
the st. Petersburg and Smolensk will
he taken by regularly accredited war
ships, Russia feels she will lose moth
ing and at the same time avoid irri-
tating neutrals with all of whom she
desires to remain on good terms.

by John J. Ryan
And Now People Are Looking
fer $500, 900 Of Their Money.
Ryan Of st. Louis Arrested at Brighton
Beach, Where Horses Won Two
Rsees-Said Would Have Gone Back
" He Had Been Notified.

New York, July 26.-John J. Ryan, a
race horse owner, whose Reliable and
Monster, won the first and third races
at Brighton Beach, today. was arrested
at the brighton track, this afternoon,
on a warrant charging him with lar
ceny by means Of an alleged get-rich-
quick scheme of which 1t is said he
was at the head. The amount involved
is said to be 100000. The warrant for
Ryan's arrest was issued in st. LOUIS
and the arrest was made by Central
ONCE detective accompanied by a st.
Louis detective and George Ficksson.
assistant to Circuit Attorney Folk OF
st. Louis.
Ryan took his arrest coolly and In
duced the detectives to remain with
him at the track until the end of the
third race on which he told them he
had "a few hundreds placed"
"Why didn't those people in st. Louis
let me know they wanted me? I'd have
gone on" he said.
At police headquarters he gave his
age as 80 years and his occupation
horse racing. He was taken at once
before Supreme Court Justice Amend,
in Chambers, who fixed bail at $4,000.
Congressman Timothy d. Sullivan
signed the bond.
A representative of the circuit at
torney's Office in st. Louis was indig-
nant when he learned that bail had
been fixed at $4,000.
I'VE are framing strong case
against Ryan," he said, and it's tough
to have New York judge let the man
out on such small bail. But Wen get
Ryan. We have five st. Louis detec-
tives watching him and he can't get
out of the state. We were going to
take him to St. Louis tonight, but were
frustrated.
Detective Kilian of St Louis. said, to-
night, that Ryan was indicted by the
grand jury after several hundred wis
nesses had appeared. He declared that
there would probably be over 1000 COM
plants against Ryan on the trial.
killian said the scheme in this case was
one In which readers of st. Louis news
paper advertisements were asked to go
into a scheme for large profits. The horse
racing game was in the background. said
killian. Dividends were paid to some of
the first subscribers. but as the number
increased the dividends were passed and
all the money coming in was kept.

st. Petersburg, July 26.-3.36 p. NJ
Neither the American nor the British
government up to this hour had made
representations here regarding the
sinking of the British steamer knights
Commander or the capture of neutral
ships by the Vladivostok squadron. The
admiralty's instructions to the COM
manders of Russian warships in regard
to the prizes authorize them in certain
urgent contingencies recognized by in
ternatiOnal law to sink prizes. These
are in substance when the prize is I'M
seaworthy. in danger of recapture by
the enemy or in the case of difficulty
in getting the prize back to port, which
might include inability to spare a prize
crew, etc. But in each case the COM
mander must take off the ships papers,
crew and passengers, before sinking the
prize. When these instructions first
came to the notice Of the British am
bassador some tibe ago. he formally
protested against them because they
were not specially limited and because
they did not restrict permission to sink
prize to belligerent vessels.
1t is realized here that no matter
what the circumstances We're which
moved the Russian commander to sink
. the Knights Commander, unless she
was really Japanese owned as was
! claimed in the case of the steamer Chel-
ten ham. although not formally trans
ferred, he has made his government LA
BILE for full damages for the cost Of the
vessel.
