MEDIATION TALE
CALLED RUBBISH
Japanese Minister at London
Discusses War Situation.
THINKS RUSSIA WHIPPED
KURoPATKIN HAMPERED BY ST.
PETERSBURG INFLUENCES.

4 ONDON, June 1.-Rumors of media
ton in the Observation-Disclosures war
caused a rise of IL per cent in
consols and a general upward tendency
on the London market this afternoon,
but the rumors have found no contlr-
nation in diplomatic quarters.
The foreign Office characterizes the
report that mediation is pending in the
immediate future as rubbish Baron
Hayashi, who as Japan's senior min
lister and foremost diplomatic represen-
tative abroad would be the first TO near
of any such move says:
Not the whisper of mediation mas
reached me. For us to stay our hands
at this moment would be senseless
folly. Russia appears TO be in serl-
Gus dilemma. She has not enough men
in the field to cope with our various
points of attack. If she sends rein
forcements that General kuropatkln
so much needs she cannot feed them.
II cannot credit the rumor IN Rome
of General Kuropatkin's defeat al
though during the next few days news
of a battle may come at any moment.
1t seems evident that Kuropatkln III
tends to fight at Lao Yang. befeNe
he has decided to do this not so much
from a military point of view as oe-
cause of the pressure from the court
and political circles at st. petersburg.
About a month is likely to elapse
before any determined assault can De
made on Port Arthur.

The Sacred Heart and the Missions.

The month of the Sacred Heart is here, and de-
vout Catholics making special efforts to secure
devotion to the Sacred Heart is too selfish and,
therefore barren To love the Heart of Christ means
to enter into His sympathies and to become
like Him. Our Savior loved all mankind, and we
who think on His Hearts loYe deceive ourselves
in our complacency, if we are not striving to APP
preciate more fully the needs of fellow
Around and near us there are many, destitute of
material and spiritual helps which it is in our
power to give; far away in the mission fields are
many more who claim Christ's love through our
endeavors. If our love for the Sacred Heart is
purely selfish it will soon die, because it is not sus-
tanned by the true Christ-love. Let devotion to
the Sacred Heart be consistent. We should love
others as He has loved us.

in the fight at Vagenfuchu today. Inc
Russians opened fire at in the morn
ing and after two hours and man
long range firing, the japanese, under
General Akkiama, prepared to charge
and crush the force, which had been
harassing them for twenty-one days:
In the meantime General SamsomoH
was approaching Nagenfuchu with
strong force of cavalry. 1t was slSHt
worth seeing. when, at the word Oh
command, the Russian squadrons
formed and rushed like whirlwind
across the terribly cut up country
clearing away all obstacles, the pat
teries at the same time tTottIng along
the frightfuI roads. Having passed
the railroad station the troops came
under the fire of the Japanese machine
guns. but withdrew without suffering
much loss The fourth and sixth COM
panies of the Eighth Siberian Cos
sacks furiously charged the Japanese
cavalry with lances, attacking both
TANKS. In a few minutes they literally
Ont the whole squadron into pieces.
This was the first time lances were
used and they struck terror into the
enemy In some cases the lances
pierced the riders through and WOUNDED
their horses. Some of the lances could
not be withdraw n from the bodies into
which they had entered.
The japanese infantry, numbering
four battalions. of 800 men to COM
pany, and eight squadrons of cavalry
attempted to advance but the Russian
batteries opened and soon the slope up
which the enemy was advancing was
covered with black spots and the
enemy was forced to scatter and re-
tire Some of the Japanese cavalry
were wonderfully dashing. charging
with shouts upon tie Russians, VINO
met and scattered them.
A Cossack who had lost his lance
and sword wrenched a sword from
japanese officer and cut off the Off
GERS head.
The Cossacks picked up boots which
had been taken off by the Japanese in
order 10 facilitate the flight and
fourisLed them on their lances as
trophies.
The Japanese used the trick of dis
playing dummies, but the Cossacks did
not waste a shot on them.
General Samsomoff highly praised
the practice of the Russian gunners.

THE SPINNER.

The spinner twisted her slender thread
AS she sat. and spun;
The earth and the heavens are mine,
she said,
"And the moon and the sun;
Into my web the sunlight goes,
And the breath Of. May
And the crimson life of the new-blOwn
rose
That was born today"
The spinner sang in the hush Of noon
And her song was low.
"Ah, morning. YOU pass away too soon,
You are swift to so.
My heart oerflows like trimming
cup
with it's hopes and fears
Love. come and drink the sweetness up
Ere it turn to tears
The spinner looked at the falling sun,
Us it time to rest2
highlands are weary-nly work is done,
I have wrought my best
1 have spun and woven with patient
eyes,
And with fingers fleet
Lol where the toikof a lifetime lies
In a winding Sheet"

the two copies of it were in possession
of Englishmen and were being shown

Knots of officers stood in the streets
and in and about the club eagerly
scanning the papers.
six hundred junk loads of supplies,
mostly beans and grain, purchased at
New Chuang, were shipped to Lao

supplies the Russians ordered from the

The Russians were compelled TO pay
four times the prices demanded a
