GROWING NERVOUSNESS.
Russia's Anxiety About Port Arthur
 and Kuropatkin.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 10-The ner- vousness here over the situation at the front seems to be increasing since the Japanese occupation of Wolf hill before Port Arthur. It is added that the be- siegers have an elevated position, from whence emplaced guns can command the fortress. This fact, together with the enormous numbers Of the Japan csc. their evident recklessness and dis regard of danger, creates more apLre- hension than the war office or admir- alty care to admit.
 Similar misgivinSs exist regarding Kuropatkin's position. The Japanese new base at New Chwang is greatly simplifying the provisioning of their army. The report that the Japanese were continuing westward on the Rus sian army OCcasioned the greatest un- easiness. with the Japanese cordOn tightening in the south and east. q column threatening the Russian line of communications in the rear toward Mukden. and the appearance of the Japanese on the other side of Mukden, almost pockets Kuropatkin. It is now doubtful if he could withdraw from Liao Yang if he desired to do so.

KUROPATKIN'S ESCAPE.
The Japanese Waited Too Long and
 Rains Came.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 11.-Again the chance of a decisive battle between General Kuropatkin and the command CT of the Japanese armies seems to be disappearing. According to a state ment issued by the general staff tonight rains are again falling over a wide area of Manchuria, which delays the prospect of impending operations, bul even more important is the information reaching the Associated Press tonight from an exceptional source that the Japanese have once more delayed too long.
 General kurop1tkin has now with drawn the bulk of his army safely north of Liao Yang, leaving only a strong rear line to contest the advance when it cones. According 10 this in- formation the Japanese have about 3O0,00O men in the armies operating against Kuropatkin rendering it too hazardous for him to risk 1 general enga cement.
 The general staff has no information bearing on the reported presence of a large force of Japanese at Paithuhi, Q place that cannot be located or available maps. The report agrees however, with the general tenor of in formation received by the Associated Press here that General Kuropatkin i: already retrcating north of Liao Yang

SpeCulating upon the situation in which the cOmbatants would be left and the question as to whether it is possible that a way would be opened for peace. The almost unanimous cpin- ion is that with her present record of victories, combined with the financial difficulties of continuing the war in- definitely, Japan would welcome reaCe. and an almost equally unanimous yer dict is that Russia would adopt a con trary course.
 Even should every Russian soldier be driven out of Manchuria, the dip lomats believe that Russia could not afford to yield, but would be compelled doggedly to continue the war, collect another army in Siberia, and take the offensive next year.

was made administrator Of British

Coal Mine Has a Chapel.

One of the most remarkable places
of worship in the world is the Miners
chapel in Myndd Mingdd colliery.
Swansea, Wales, where for more than
fifty years the workers have each
morning assembled for worship.
This sanctuary is situated close to
the bottom OF the shaft. The only
light is that obtained from a solitary
Davy safety lamp hung over the pull
pit from the ceiling, and the oldest
miner in the colliery is generally cho-
sen to officiate.
1t is the custom in some other places
for coal miners to gather together at
meal times for prayer meetings and
the like, but it is said that this is the
only instance where a special apart
ment is fitted out in a coal mine as a
chapel.
