Slipped Past i'm Fog.
(By the Associated Press. }


London, April 29.-(Friday)- The
ent asserts that the Russian cruisers
slipped past the Japanese squadron
during fog and regained the harbor
of Vladivostock.
This is the only additional news that
has reached London concerning the
Vladivostock squadron. No further
details have been received regarding
the sinking of the Japanese transport
Kinshiu- Maru which incident is much
commented on here as proving that
the Japanese placed too great conf
dence in their command Of the sea
and there is no doubt that it will in
duce greater vigilance on their part.
There is some inclination to criticise
harshly the action of Rear Admiral
Yeszen, but most of this morning S
papers prefer to await particulars Of
the affair before passing judgment
upon it.
A telegram to the Standards Tien
Tsin correspondent, says the whole
country outside the Great Wall is alb
normally flooded and movement of
the land forces is impractcable for
the present
a special dispatch from Port Arthur
says that the demonstration made by
Japanese torpedo boats covered by a
Japanese squadron off Port Arthur
yesterday morning was for the pur-
pose of creating a scare and inducing
the batteries to waste their ammuni-
tion but the Russians refrained from
answering the Japanese fire.
The Copenhagen correspondent Of
the Morning Post says there are ru-
mors that Russia is negotiating for
the purchase of the Danish liners
Hekla, Norge and Island.

VICES OF CONSULS
benevolent AssimiIa.
ton at Which Angels
Might Weep.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., April 2S.-
Charges of gross immortality on the
part of consular officials located in
Liberia, were made by Miss A. A.
Klein, one of the speakers at today
session of the Florence Crittenton
mission in a talk on preventive and
rescue work for girls in Africa" Miss
Klein has been in Liberia as a mis-
sionary of the Lutheran church sta
toned at Muhlenberg. but almost
infinitely removed, she explained, from
the civilization of that city. She said
foreign consuls, when on their way
to the interior frequently stopped at
her mission station where she said
they would speak lightly of their licen-
Gus excess. Native women, she
lid, were regarded by these consuls
legitimate prey, criminal assault
as common and in many instances
nconcealed. Miss Klein declared the
atives, at least in the vicinity where
he was stationed, uphold high
andard of morals. Adultery is pun
he'd by stoning to death and the ma
yes live closely according to the
Iosaic laws. The conditions she de-
,ribed. she said. had greatly impeded
lie work of the missionaries. Miss
lein specifically exempted the Rev:
irnest Lyon, the United States consul
t Monrovia, the capital, from the
harges against the other consular Of
Gals and paid high tribute to him.
Miss Ellen Spencer Mussey, of
Washington, d. c., discussed Estate
TVS pertaining to adultery and il
egitimacy." One great defect in the
TVS of many States. she said, is that
n Legitimate child cannot inherit
rom it's father even if the father has
acknowledged his paternity. Mrs.
late w. Barrett said that in New Jer-
-sy and Pennsylvania young girls are
carefully protected by the laws gov
erning criminal seduction. and in their
administration, but in the South she
said it is almost impossible to secure
conviction under the laws.
The report of the children's home
in Alexandria, Va, maintained by Mr..
Crittenton showed there are forty-two
children sheltered there.

A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY
Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy Hair,
No Matter What Color.

The finest contour of a female face, the
sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses
something if the head is crowned with
scant hair. Scant and falling hair, it is
now known, is caused by parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root of the
hair, where it saps the vitality. The lit
tie white scales the germ throws up in
burroI7ing are called dandruff. To cure
dandruff permanently then, and to stop
falling hair. that germ must be killed.
Newbros Herpicide. an entirely new re-
suit of the chemical laboratory destroys
the dandruff germ, and, of course, stops
the falling hair. and prevents badness.
