BARKENTTNE ALTA CASE
TAKEN TO SUPREME COURT
Decision Is Wanted on Rights of Phil
ippine Vessels Owned by Amer
ican Citizens

SEATTLE. July 27.-To decide the
rights of a Philippine vessel owned
by citizens Of the United States in re-
gard TO the imposition Of tonnage
taxes and light dues the case of the
United States against the barkentine
Alta was appealed from the United
States District Court 20 the Supreme
Court Of the United States to-day. The
ship is owned by American residents
in the PHILIPPINES, but is unregistered.
The United States Treasury Depart
ment contends that the owners are
liable to the tax. The ship was built
under the British flag and Judge Han
ford ruled that under a treaty between
the Two countries British built ships
were exempt from this tax when
owned by Americans and decided in
favor Of the ship owners. AS the
question involved is constitutional the
case will go TO the Supreme Court and
viii come I'D at the October session.

LIAOYANG. July 27.-A Russian

who has just arrived here after two
months stay at Port Arthur, gives an
interesting narrative Of the situation
at the beleaguered fortress when he left
there. July "A. which shows that the
japanese operations until then had not
advanced as far as supposed. Several
Russian successes are chronicled. but
the report OF Japanese reverse, with
the loss Of 1900 men. is definitely dis

the correspondent. who says:
When 1 put 10 sea in junk the

lost, had been recaptured by assault
The heights OF Huinsin. which the jap

vinced that this position also has since
been retaken. The very morning Of my
departure. July H. the position was be-
ing bonn barded by six-inch howitzers
and shells were falling repeatedly into
the japanese works, causing great dis
order.
ITO sum up. by the fighting of July
8. 4 and :. when evidently the Russian
forces were acting on the offensive. the
Russians regained on the land side the
positions they had held in front Of The
fortress previous 10 the battle OF Kin

The main forces Of the besiegers are
on the average at distance Of twenty
miles from the perimeter OF the fortress

have approached TO within twelve miles

The japanese have between 40. .0oC

The troops maintain a constant ex-
change Of skirmishing fire. but the field
or other guns are usually silent. The
japanese apparently are conducting g
slow. engineering advance. Often in the
morning the Russians discover fresh
trenches The japanese are compelled

failures which they made 10 close the
entrance at Port Arthur with fireship:

PROTEST TO WASHINGTON.
Consignors of the Steamship Arabfa's
Cargo Demand Indemnity.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The State
Department has finally received a for
NAL protest against the action of the
Russian navy in seizing American
goods, and, as result of its prelimin-
airy study Of the law and precedents
governing the subject, it is prepared to
act energetically and promptly. This
protest relates TO the seizure of an
American cargo on board the Ham
burg American steamship Arabia,
bound from Portland, Or, for Hong
kong, China United States Senator
]. B. Mitchell Of Oregon telegraphed
TO the State Department statement of
the conditions under which the Arabia
carried out this cargo. He declared the
-four aboard the vessel was in no sense
contraband- Indemnity and satisfaction
are demanded for the owners of the
flour.
Mitchell stated that he represented
the Portland Milling COMPANY. The
company. he said, had shipped on the
Arabia for Hongkong $4,000 sacks of
-four, worth about 800 000 He declared
this -four was not destined for japan
and that IL was part of the normal
trade of the company and was not a
war order. Mitchell also requested the
State Department to take steps to pro-
tect legitimate neutral trade from such
serious interference as these attacks by
the Vladivostok squadron.
Officials of the department saw there
will be no hasty action. The whole
subject of interference with American
trade between the belligerents in the
present war will be considered. and
each protest that may be Forwarded
will be part of a uniform and consistent
policy to be followed by the department.

LOWELL. Mass, July 27-Miss
Nance O'Neil, the San Francisco ira
gedienne, who recently purchased a
handsome summer estate at Tyngs-
boro. a few miles from here, has be-
gun to stock it with pets of a unique
kind. Her favorite and most recent
purchase is Sweet Alice, a superan-
nuated, decrepit and blind mare. which
until recently was a cab horse at a
Washington-street stand In Boston.
Miss O'Neil was driven out to Brook
line a few days ago with Sweet Alice
in the shafts. Coming back the poor
animal broke down and seemed on the
point Of dissolution. She bought the
horse from the cabby and had it taken
in an ambulance to her farm, where ii
is slowly recovering from its numerous
maladies.
Miss O'Neil has derived so much sat
isfaction from the result of her benev-
olence that she plans to extend the
hospitality of her pasture next year
to a considerable number of over
worked equines. A bull terrier, three
parrots, an Angora cat and a span of
magnificent bays are new additions to
her collection.
A half-mile track has been laid out
and Miss O'Neil speeds the bays upon
it daily.
