conditionally contraband character
foodstuffs and fuel, and that supple
mentary instructions had been issued
to the Russian naval commanders and
the misinterpretation which had been
placed upon the prize regulations.

ated in article 6 of the Russian prize
regulations which are susceptible to
dual use, like fuel and foodstuffs, the

dressed to private persons or firms in
an enemy's port, they are not intend

stances are irregular In effect. the
| new instructions will place the burden
Of proof that the foodstuffs, ETC., are
designed for belligerent purposes upon
| The captor.
The new instructions will involve
reversal of the judgment of the
| Vladivostok prize court by the admir-
atty court in the case of the provis-
| ons confscated.

Il took pleasure in cabling to my
government the details of the Lena
incident and the prompt action of the
American government in the matter.
While, of course, it is for my govern

RUSSIA AND GERMANY.
Great Britain Urged To Form Alliance
TO Prevent Mischief.

London, Sept. 19.-The Spectator
contains an article discussing the re.
ported agreement between Russia and
Germany concerning Kiauchau, say
ing it has every reason to believe the
story is based on facts" The Specta-
tor warns Great Britain against COM
placency, in view of the possibility
that France may be drawn into the
understanding in which case a situa-
ton might arise resembling the inter-
vening which robbed Japan of Port
Arthur. LAS such development might
involve Great Britain in serious dan
gers, it behooves her." the Spectator
adds, Ito endeavor to arrange an I'M
derstanding with France"
In conclusion the article asks wheth-
er Emperor William was wise to run
the risk, in the event of Japan's being
victorious, or receiving polite Japan
csc reminder that Kiauchau belongs
to China and that to surrender the
lease of that port would greatly con.
duce to the peace of the world.

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pourd-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
tcals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes TO
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

japanese Give Up Trying To Take Port
.sa Arthur By Assault,

Paris, Sept. 19.-The Matin publish
ed a long interview with Baron Haya-
shi, the japanese minister in Lon
don, who is quoted as saying:
! Before the war we demanded that
Russia recognize China's sovereignty
over Manchuria. Today, after our vic
tories and expenses, we are no long
er content with our former demand.
After the fall of Port Arthur our con-
ditions will be still more extreme and
after taking Vladivostok, they will be
yet more extreme.
THE next battle will be at Tie pass.
We shall continue hostilities through
out the winter. We have given up the
plan of taking Port Arthur by assault,
and will compel it's capitulation by
famine. Its fall would free $4,000
men, and enable them to reinforce
our northern army, but we do not need
them just now"

About Tight Clothing.

The woman who is healthy and happy
land the terms are synonymous does
not wear her clothing uncomfortably
tight She has grown wiser Women s
clothing IS cumbersome enough at best,
but when vanity and a mistaken sense
Of style prompts the wearing Of tight
shoes which distort the feet, high collars
which beget throat troubles and cause
the face TO flush and darken. and tight
corsets, then the woman Of civilization
is but a step removed from the women
of China, who hobble on manned feet.
Many women have an Idea that com
fort and untidy looseness of attire,
coupled with lack Of style, go hand in
hand, and are victims of nerves" in
consequence SAYS the philadelphia
Bulletin" How this wrong idea still OBJ
tains Il IS hard TO imagine, IN view of
the fact that perfect cut and fit has
made the loose outer garment and shirt
waist artistic and pronounced success
for years past.
If all women would apply this knowl-
edge IN the selection or making Of other
garments all might be as comfortable
as men, who scorn garment II II
pinches. II the corset Is properly fitted
and loose enough for perfect comfort.
and shoes, belt. etc, fitted on the same
principle, woman's health would be
much better than II is. An hour q day
spent in exercise VIII not undo the work
OF ten or twelve hours of improper
living; hence, the absurdity of women
trying 10 obtain better health by eXer-
else and gymnastics when they go from
such exercise directly into the mistake
OF tight-ftted clothes.
