from Toxic to the Standard says:
"It is unohicially reported that
the Japanese right army has sue
ceedd in isolatipg force offour di-
visions of Russians in the Bensihu-
Kiatoan district. 1t is rumored
that Kuropatkin himself is with the
force which seems to be doomed to
destruction. a5.. ~ ...es
The central army captured II
guns, and the left army rs guns,
while the spoils Of the right army
are expected to be still more valua-
I hle. It is believed here that the
DISASTROUS advance ives forced on
General Kuropatkin from st. Pc
tersburg. In any case, his move
was an unexpected godsend for. the
Japanese army"

"From October 10 to October IA

Old Maids.

The true "old maid," like the true
poet, is born, not made, old maidish-
ness being a question of innate char
acter rather than Of incidental condi-
tion. There are old maids Of every
state and age and sex, says Ellen
Thorneycroft Fowler, creatures who
revel in fuss, and batten upon detail
and abide in the narrowest Of narrow
ruts. Do we not, all know married
women with large families who are
|. nevertheless, old maids to the back
bone, just as we know adorable elderly
spinsters who have the minds of girls
and the hearts of mothers? And do We
not also know numbers of the $50 called
stronger sex whose absorption in trihet
and avidity for gossip proclaim then
old maids Of the purest water? il.

LONDON, April 23.-Rumors of severe
fighting on the Yalu ere reported in various
forms and from various points. For in
stance. the Shanghai correspondent of the
Morning Post says he hears that the first
Japanese army has crossed the Yalu almost
without opposition, and the Chronicles cor
respondent at Seoul says that heavy fight
ing has occurred, but that for strategic
reasons Ii is impossible to send particu-
lars No authentic news, however, has
reached London showing that anything has
happened beyond skirmishing.
According to the Telegraph's st. Peters
burg correspondent the Russian strategistS
are reluctantly arriving at the conviction
that General Kuroki is engaged in the adj
venturouS plan of advancing along the mid
die reaches of the Yau river via Kang-Ge,
and, despite enormous difficulties, is moving
his army over the mountain paths, his pur-
pose being to outfank the Russian position
on the right bank of the Yalu.
LONDON, April PA dispatch to the
Central News from Port Arthur says news
has been received there of the complete de-
struction of japanese column on the
Yalu. No details, it is added, were obtain
able.
NEW YORK, April 22-The Japanese are
reported to have bombarded Nieu-Chwang

They are rumored to have landed troops
who probably will endeavor to effect a
junction with the forces supposed to have
landed near the mouth of the Yalu river
three days ago. There is no confirmation
of the story.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 22.--The Asso-
ciated Press Is authorized to announce that
the government at this hour has received
nothing to confirm the report of the al
legged bombardment of Nieu-Chwang or the
landing of Japanese troops in that vicinity.

preme Court, irrespective of the jury it
self, which is always composed of men of
all classes, natives and foreigners.
The action brought by ANGELA Ella,

CHURCHILL BREAKS DOWN

Unusual Incident During Debate
on Trades Union Bill Creates
Sensation in London.
BILL PASSES THE HOUSE

LONDON, April 22.-While speaking in
support of the trades union bill, which to-
day passed the second reading in the House
Spencer Churchill, toward the close of his
speech. suddenly lost the thread of his
argument, and after pause of some mo-
ments, during which he thrice essayed to
resume, Mr.. Churchill sat down in some
confusion without finishing and amid SYM
pathetic cheers.
1t was said tonight that Mr. ChurchiPs
sudden termination of his speech was due
to the fact that he failed to remember a
quotation with which he intended to con-
clude. He participated in the division
ton because it wildly recalled the break
down of Lord Randolph Churchill, Mr.
Churchills father. while speaking, shortly
before his death
The bill passed to-day is one
legalizing peaceful picketing and amending
the law of conspiracy in connection with
trade disputes and protecting trades union
funds against legal process for damage
caused by the action of members of such
unions. The bill is the outcome of the re-
Railway case, which, with the Railway
Mems Union, was mulcted in heavy DAM
ages for picketing and interfering with
nonunionists. Premier Balfour, in opposing
the bill, said IL would not be made a mat
ter for a party question. Personally he
was opposed to the bill, which would give
trades unions privileged position not en-
Joyed by any other body of men. He feared
that the bill, as at present framed might
seriously interfere with other classes of
the community.

RUSSIA CANNOT BUY
SHIPS FLYING OLD GLORY
No Vessel That Sails Under the
Stars and Stripes Can Be
Disposed OF.
WAR SUPPLIES DIFFERENT

WASHINGTON. April 22.-The United
States government has had no official in
formation of the sales persistently report
ed from Europe of American ships to either
Russia or Japan. There already has been
some speculation in official circles as to
whether or not such sales could be per-
mitted, and one thing is quite certain.
namely, that no vessel under the American
flag could be allowed to pass directly into
the possession of the government of either
belligerent state. This is said to be true
of merchant ships as well as warships, as
the former might easily be transformed to
cruisers or used as troop transports and
the spirit of modern international law is
said to be decidedly against the transfer of
any floating property 20 a belligerent which
could be used for warlike purposes. There
is a line of difference between ships and
war supplies The latter may properly be
regarded as merchandise
But to the official mind there is doubt
of the right to prohibit the sale of an
American ship of the merchant class to an
individual citizen of one of the belligerent
powers or to the citizen of a third power
unless ii can be very clearly established
that the vessel is not TO pass TO the pos
session of one of the belgerent govern
ments. 1t happens there are no warships
in the United States which can be sold, all
being United States government property.
so that the question is reduced to that OF
merchant vessels and that phase is receiv-
ing careful attention.
The principles laid down by the Geneva
arbitration in the famous Alabama case
are of course the guiding marks for our
government in treating this subject and

AMERICANS HELD As
JAPANESE SPIES

ST. PETERSBURG, April 22.-An AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent called the at
tention of the Foreign Office here to the
telegram of the Hardin correspondent of
the Frankfurter Zeitung, published yester-
day in the United States, to the effect that
four unarmed American citizens were held
as Japanese spies al Mukden that an
American named Reilly and Canadian
named Davidson had mysteriously disap-
peared from Mukden under circumstances
that raised suspicion of foul play. The For
eign Office replied that they had no infor-
nation whatever upon the subject, and do
not believe that the statement can be true,
since any action affecting foreigners would
be Immediately reported. 1t is their belief
that the statement is unfounded.
SHEER BROOKE, Que. April 22.-The Da-
wilson referred to in the Berlin dispatch as
missing in Manchuria is believed to be
William Davidson, son of Chief of Police
Davidson, of this city. Mr.. Davidson has
been in Port Arthur since 1898 as agent
of the American Trading Company and
Clarkson & Co. His parents have heard
nothing from him since the war began and
it was believed that he had remained in
Port Arthur.
