Volunteer Steamers Withdrawn.

St. Petersburg, July 26.-The Russian
volunteer feet steamers Smolensk and
st. Petersburg have already been Or
dered home and that instructions for
them to return have been cabled. the
assurances given Great Britain on this
point are declared to be satisfactory.
The instructions given the command
ers of the vessels repeat the orders
heretofore announced in these dis
patches, directing them to refrain from
further attempts to stop merchantmen
either in the Red sea or the Mediter-
ranean.
The decision not to insist upon the
war status of ships was probably
reached at the conference held Satur-
day The two ships may be brought 10
the Baltic and formally reconimis-
stoned but will remain in the Red sea
until relieved by regular warships.
Russia has reiterated her assurances
that all vessels seized pending the re-
cept of instructions by the captains
of the Smolensk and st. Petersburg
shall at once be released and that the
British steamer Ardova will be freed
upon her arrival at Suez or Port Said,
the same as the Scandia.
Great Britain's bill for damages
against Russia for demurrage and 9TH
er indemnities connected with the ar
rest, detention and shelling of the Brit
ish ships in the Red sea will probably
be heavy Already it is roughly esti-
mated at $5000000.

London, July 26-Cabling under date
of July Gath. the Mails New Chwang
correspondent describes a fourteen
hours desperate battle with heavy
losses on both sides. and which result
ed in the Russian position at Ia Tche
Kiao being rendered uptenable, by rea-
son of which they will be compelled to
retreat toward Hal Cheng.
'"rhe battle began at 6 O'Clock in the
morning" the correspondent says, 1.-THE
Russians resuming the attack on the
japanese position on the heights east
of Tia Tche Kiao. After a few hours the
Japanese left flank from TAPPING noun
tain captured the village of Tanghalit-
ueno, compelling the Russians to re-
treat to Tienhuaituen, six miles from
their base.
THE Russians, now reinforced, main
tanned the position until O'Clock in
the afternoon, when the japanese right
flank made sudden appearance on the
hills south of Ia Tche kiao and by a

RUSSIAN VLADIVOSTOCk FLEET
THREATENS JAPANESE PORTS

Toxic. July 25, p. m.-The acts OF
the Vladiyostok squadron in the Pacific
and of the volunteer feet in the Red
sea strengthen the belief here that Rus
sia is deliberately teeking TO affront
America, England and Germany in the
hope of finding an avenue for gracefully
retiring from a disastrous war. There
is no argument over the right of Rus
sia to seize neutral vessels carrying act
ual contraband of war, but the wisdom
of destroying neutral prizes without
trial, unless the object is to involve
other powers, is generally questioned.
1t is believed that America Will refuse
TO recognize Russia's extended list of
contraband. and will speedily demand
limitation to articles reasonably con-
traband in order to protect her large
Oriental commercial interests. 1t is eX-
pected that Great Britain will protest
against the sinking of the knight
Commander and demand trial for seized
British steamers, and that Germany
will make second and more vigorous
protest.
The Vladivostok warships are hov-
ering about the course of the steam
ers from San Francisco, probably with
the hope of overhauling the liner Ko-
rea.

lieved here that the seizures Will ere
ate a feeling of intense irritation and
unfriendliness against Russia in Amer

anxious TO localize the combat and

that the Korea may be seized by the

Mrs. AmaIie Pabst Brings Suit for Di-
vOrCe After Waiting Long for Her
Husband to Return to Her.
STORY OF wOMAN's DEVOTION
Pabst Deserted His Wife Eleven Years Ago
Labor Day. but She Has Waited All
These Years Hoping for His Return

Stories of woman's devotion are
often told but the case that has just
been brought to light through an ac-
ton for divorce shows that there is
one woman in Kenosha who is deserv-
ing of medal, and that woman is
Mrs. Ama1ie Pabst. Mrs. Pabst has
made the unique record of waiting
eleven years for the return of the hus-
band who deserted her.
Mrs. Pabst is a come1y woman of
thirty-fve or forty, and fourteen years
ago she was married to Lewis w. A.
Pabst. For three years the couple
lived together in perfect contentment,
but at the end of this time on Labor
Day, 1898, the husband left his home
to attend labor meeting and that
was the last that his wife and little
daughter ever heard of him. Where
he went or what happened to him, the
wife and the little girl have never
been able to discover. The love of
the wife for the husband, however,
didnot grow cold in his absence, and
she sat alone supporting the little
girl and hoping against hope that he
would return and claim them.
Yearsspassed and she heard nothing
for her long wait. Then she started
out to search for the man and for
months followed every possible clue
that presented itself to her, without
avail. She heard of the husband in
"a fa a a
to reach him by letters, but the let
ters were returned to her unopened.
The last heard-of clue to his where
abouts stated that the husband was
living in Michigan city. Up to this
time the woman thought that her hus-
band might have met with foul play,
but she received word from Michigan
that the man was formerly member
of the labor union there but had left
just before the arrival of the letter,
and had left no address behind him.
This gave TO the woman proof of
the perfdy of the man, but still she
hoped that he would come back and
delayed her action for divorce until
short time ago.
In the meantime Mrs. Pabst has
been supporting her little daughter
and herself. For several years she
was the matron of the Kenosha Poor
house, and there was never a better
supervisor of the old home on Wash
ington Island The one regret Of the
city in securing the new poor-fatm
was that they would have to lose the
services of Mrs. Pabst.
In her bill for divorce the woman
tells little of the struggle that she
has gone through while waiting for
the return of her husband, and the
grounds named are the statutory
grounds of assertion.
The suit will come up for trial at
the June term of the Circuit Court.

There was a caption over the list

criticism in the house, and no one
knew who was responsible therefor.

SHOT FOR EDITOR.
Unknown People Fire a Shot Through
the Window OF the vOIksireund
Office Thursday.
EDITOR HAS A MARROW ESCAPE.

| Lewis Eve, the genial editor Of the
kenosha Vo1ksfreund, is looking for
/ the man or woman who has designs
on his life, for on Thursday afternoon
as ye editor was working overtime
getting out campaign material, some
one fired a rifle bullet through the
front window Of his office. A can of
ink which was lying on table de-
Elected the bullet, and it crashed
through glass window in the rear of
the Office.
AT the time the shot was fired Edi-
tor Eve was working at press in di-
rect line Of the bullet, and had it not
been for the kindly services of the ink
can he would undoubtedly have been
struck and probably killed. AS soon
as possible the Editor rushed from
his Office and ran to the vacant lot
across the street, but he could find no
trace of any one who had fired the
shot.
In speaking of the matter this morn
ing Mr.. Eve stated that he could not
think of any enemy who would be so
daring as to attempt to kill him. He
is inclined to think that the bullet
was a stray one fired from some dist
ance from the Office, but the force of
the bullet when it entered the print
ing Office seems to disprove this
theory. The matter has been referred
to the police and they are making in
designations.

Marine insurance became effective

will take out their policies, it is not
likely many will be used during the
first fifteen day period unless, of
course, there is a sudden change in
the conditions which are keeping
navigation at a standsti11. Hull risks
on steel vessels will be the same as
last year-4A per cent Of the steamer

however are made on wooden boats.
Last years rates for this type Of craft
we're 81 per cent for boats of the first
class and 81 per cent for second
class. The latter included boats
under the valuation of $50, 900. Large
losses on wooden tonnage last year
has occasioned an advance.
In cargo rates practically the only
changes will be made in the fall pre-
niums. Instead of the radical Jump
from 40 cents per 500 valuation to /
per cent, November 80, for the last
five days of navigation, fall rates will
