"Y FEEL like spending the rest o

that evening. They were stroll

Gabriel. that knave Of purgatory. Lor
~, at last recognizing the hopelessness
Of his suit, was ready to throw down
his arms and abandon the field to supe
rior odds. His presumption in aspiring
for the hand Of princess began to
touch his sense . of humor. and hs
laughed, not very merrily. 1t is true. bui

he cursed the world and every one il,

cursed only himself. Yet as lie d.

might turn the tide OF battle.

WINGED himself, to Illustrate Gabricl's
evil plans.
Returning late in the evening from
their stroll, they entered cafe cele-
brated in Edelweiss. In NIL his life
Lorry had never known the loneliness
that makes death welcome.
The cafe was crowded with men and
women. In far corner sat party Of
Axphain mobiles, their prince, a most
democratic fellow, at the head of a
long table. There were songs, jests and
boisterous laughter. The celebration
grew wilder, and Lorry and Anguish
crossed the room and, taking seats at a
table, ordered wine and cigars, both
eager for Il closer view Of the prince.
How Lorry loathed him!
Lorenz was a good looking young fell
low, little more than boy. His smooth
face was flushed, and there was about
him an air of dissipation that suggest
ed depravity in Its advanced stage. The
face that might have been handsome
was the reflection of roue, dashing.
devilish. He was fair haired and tall,
taller than his companions by half
head. With reckless abandon he drank
and sang and TESTED. arrogant in his
Tightly merriment. His cohorts were
not far behind him In riotous wit
AT length one of the jewellers, speak
Ing in German, called on Lorenz for
toast to the Princess Yetive, his prom
Used bride. Without a moments hesitn-
ton the prince sprang to his feet, held
his glass aloft and cried:
Here's to the fairest OF the fair
sweet Yetive, SO hard to win, too good
to lose. She loves me, God bless her
heart And love her, God bless my
heart too! For each kiss from her Won

The Battleship Shikishima.

Shikishima and the armored cruiser
Asama. The story is not believed here
but the Russians who brought the news
insist that il is true.
Leaving Chefoo at o'clock yester-
day morning. the dispatch boat Fawan
at s o'clock passed Jap feet of two
cruisers. three gunboats and two de-
stroyers cruising about 90 miles OFF Port
Arthur. The Japs. apparently being ac-
quainted with the character of the
Fawan. made no attempt to stop the
dispatch boat. The Fawan then sailed
slowly along the coast, just out of the
range of the batteries. While passing
Port Arthur. about 10 o'clock. six heavy
explosions were heard. They appeared
to proceed from the inner harbor. and
suggested the idea that the Russians
were blowing up their ships and docks.
The Fawan managed to ascertain from
reliable Jap sources that the invest
ment of Port Arthur is being pushed
from the land side. AT Dalny every
thing was quiet.

follow that General Kuropatkin will
not strike a stinging blow should a

enable him to throw a stronger army

unwise TO isolate more troops. who

those at Port Arthur. find Il difficult to
subsist until relief arrived. This is one
of the reasons that dictated the with
drawal Of the Russians from New
chwang. official details of which have
not yet been made public. The ex-
perts say that the debarkation of Japa-
nese at Newchwang at this time would
be nothing more or less than a strate-
gical blunder. advantageous to the Rus
SLAMS. as they are still holding the rail-
road and could rush a force there. fall

column sent by General Kuroki could
get between them and Liao Yang
The general staff confirms the an
nouncements of the abandonment of
Kin Chou by the Russians after the
dismantling of the forts and the re-
moval of the guns to Port Arthur.

position of the Japanese forces add lit

The japanese are keeping in touch

upon the appearance of Japanese
troops northeast of Mukden or indicat-
ing by what route they reached that
point so Unexpectedly. The Japanese
are so successful in hiding their move
ments that il is only possible to guess
at them from the vague indications in
Russian official dispatches.
According to the Standards Tien
Tsin correspondent. General Kuropat-
kin has left for Harbin. Viceroy Alex
Jeff still being at Liao Yang with 10000
troops.
A question greatly discussed in the
London papers this morning is wheth-
er General Kuropatkin has succeeded
In ascertaining that the Japanese are
threatening his rear so near the Muk-
den line and has been enabled to be-
gin a retreat or whether he has elect
ed to fight. In any case. il is consid-
cred that any day may bring news of
a great battle in this district. as the
transport facilities are believed to be
so great as to make II almost impossi-
BILE for General Kuropatkin to effect a
rapid retirement.
